Marty's the man! I'm building a 1911 T4 for my 914 with an "H" grind cam from European (.475" dur .286 - .248 at .050") on 114 LC's. I won't have this motor running right away, but the idea is to turbo it also
i agree one hundrewd percent ive talked to a lot of turbo people and he knows his stuff. and if he doesn't he'll tell you marty staggs is a class act.
now that is some priceless advertising.
Thanks T. Do you have the LC of the #73? How much different is it?
I guess I need lifters... What are my options? Other than Web and compo$ite? Stateside offer Jonson's, I recall Jake saying these are NLA. They do not have NOS prices, that concerns me. No reply to my emails..

Hi, if its helpful i bought some of the johnsons from Stateside Tuning. Heres a pic:
Correct me if im wrong, one way to identify the johnsons is to see if
there's the circlip inside or not. If there isnt then its likely to be a
johnson.
I have not run those lifters yet so cant comment on their longevity.
BTW mattkab i beleive you just bought the camshaft off me on ebay(i
thought id seen your username somewhere) - I just posted it today so
should be with you in a few days.
Thanks Ben, how were those lifters packaged? In a 'Johnson' box?
What kind of T4 are you building?

What thread is that?
Jonas, you'll like my new 'modular' intake, variable runner length/variable plenum using mostly stock parts/Samco/sheet/tube. Quite similar to yours but smaller/black/unfinished...

No box unfortunately they arrived wrapped up in a paper towel. I wonder if he bought a large batch of them before the company went under. Stateside is a pretty stand up place so im pretty sure they are what hw says they are.

Im building a 2056, ported porsche 914 2ltr heads, RAT cam(hence the sale of the webcam 86), no turbo for me but i will be using Megasquirt fuel injection.
I'm also building a 2056, already have most parts. This 1.8 turbo thing is just happening because I have enough left-over, 'keeper' parts. I have to remind myself!
I fancied the #86 a while back, for my high mileage engine. But what do I know?
That stock cam/lifter set is begging for a chance in the turbo afterbirth project let's see what my own testing teaches me.

I will not use my old design of the intake I have a new idéa in mind
Air slicing common plenum.. Yes? I also have some sick plans for a NA 2056, too much planning is going into that, this 1.8 is for fun, to go quicker than 21seconds@60mph and hold it's own (hold together) on the motorway- this summer. Probably your fault Jonas I will take pics later.
