I have a 1911cc engine that has an 86a grind cam. The specs for the cam are here:

http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Web-Cam-Type-1-Camshaft-Grind-86A-1-4-or-1-5-p/00-082.htm


I am trying to figure out if this engine (1911cc), and cam, will work with D-jetronic fuel injection. Anybody know or have experience with this?

I believe the 86 is for carb's & the "a" is for FI, so yes it can work with D-Jet and a correctly configured 1911.
Ive done it although my engine didn't use that Web cam

I have the 1911 with L-jet. I adjusted the AFM gear about 11 teeth IIRC. Found the how-to online. I'll see if I can find it, there may be some D-jet info there too. I have a Daily Driver Cam from TIV store.com, #9550 and went with Jake's recommendation on CR of less than 8.

Can't help with the D-jet, but as you know the World will come to the rescue.

I'm pretty sure it won't, too much duration. But I've never used this cam.
It looks a lot like a Scat C-25 which is a mild carb cam.

Would work good with a d-jet intake with MegaSquirt.

I believe 9550 was a djet FI cam, a modified WEB73

I'm soon going to put up for sale a set of modified 1.8 manifolds that allow you to mount all the 2.0 d-jet parts (plenum, TB, air cleaner, etc) on 4 bolt heads.

Then you could megasquirt the engine.



This is a known running combo that I ran with a 2.0 scat C-25cam with SDS FI and later a stock 1.8
I also might still have all the intake/injector bits, just no brain.
PM me if interested.

That cam will not work with factory injection

It'll run fine... At wide ass open throttle! You'll have no idle, no midrange and no tenability, though.
