Part 1 in a series:  ZCG also supports vintage cars of non-JDM origin!

From Datsun to Porsche

Peter V. is no stranger to Datsuns having owned both a 240z and a 1968 2000 roadster (silver car below) for many years.  We have known him for a long time and enjoyed his company on fun runs and car shows.  So when Peter came to ZCG to have some work done on his Porsche 914 naturally we obliged!

The Porsche was running rough and had pinging issues. ZCG tuned the carbs and set the timing with smooth running and excellent power delivery in mind. We also took care of a few cosmetic items like the lower valance, see  before/after below:


On the dyno, tuning yielded significant improvements in hp/tq throughout the rev range. Final numbers of 108hp/118tq at the wheels make this little 914 scoot!

It’s good to see Peter still enjoying the ride and though it may not be in a Datsun we dig his 914. We love working with classic cars of all makes so stay tuned for Part 2 in the series!
