    Mick posted a new blog post in Micks 914
    I've long been on the lookout for a Porsche 914 without an engine and gearbox to give me somewhere to use the big Type 4 motor that I originally built for the Type 34. But apart from taking a gamble and importing a project from the USA...

    Bodywork Finished
    Well it's finally done. The bodywork is finished. No really. It might look like nothing has been done, which is what my daughter Bella said when I showed her a photo of the bus, lol. But the rust is now gone, new metal has been added where needed and...

    So my plan for this car is to utilise the 915 gearbox that I already have. I bought the box some 20 odd years ago to put in my Karmann Ghia along with the big Type 4 engine that's also getting fitted, but a change in direction has meant that it's bee...

    1973 Porsche 914

    An older resto that was never finished. It's a bit rough around the edges but the important bits are good. Came without an engine and box which is actually a bonus as I plan to use the Type 4 and 915 box that I already have.

    Planning to fix the bits that need fixing to get it on the road and driving. Then chip away at the rest as I go.

    So a lot has happened in the past 6 / 7 years. I did actually end up making a flow bench, but rather than follow the traditional constructions of using a manometer and orifice plates as outlined in the PDF above, I decided to design and build a system that uses automotive MAF sensors. I also went one step further and released it as an open source project.

    After many experiments and several iterations I ended up with a system based on the ESP32 micro controller and designed a custom PCB 'shield' that integrates the necessary pressure and environmental sensors on one board.

    V1 Prototype PCB

    The interface is now web based and accessed from a browser

    All of the work to date is available under the GNU open source license and is available for free. So you can build your own flow bench for relatively little cost if you have some patience and some basic soldering skills

    You can download the project files via my GitHub account. There is more info in the Wiki on the GitHub page and also on the website. I also created a Facebook page way back when I started this project, but whilst initially created to support the project it had now morphed into a community with over 8,000 members and covers a wider range of flow benches.

    The main project is still a work in progress and I am hoping to finalise and release the V3 PCB along with updated interface code some time this year.

    Wow been 6 years since I posted this up. I'm still slowly chipping away at making my own supersquish style pistons. I did reach out to John at ACN a few years back, to see if he would be prepared to do a run of standard sized pistons, but the lack of demand made it prohibitive (unless I wanted to purchase multiple sets). So, somewhere on the horizon I will eventually make something akin to a supersquish for the Okrasa engine I'm building.

    Here's where I'm at...

    Screen Shot 2022-08-28 at 12.16.30 pm.png

    I've scanned the combustion chambers of the heads, this has given me a 'plug' of the chamber shape. This shape needs to be refined so that there is a void at the plug locations. This will force the charge towards the plug and confine it ready for the ignition event.

    Screen Shot 2022-08-28 at 12.21.45 pm.png

    Once the shape has been finalised I can then go ahead and machine the pistons.

    Which leads me to my next challenge - upgrading my desktop CNC. Whilst it would just about machine the pistons, it's not really enough guts to produce the kind of results I need. So I really need to pull my finder out and get my CNC mill finished off.
