Think this little jewel would work on a L-Jet 914?

For a 2.1 Vanagon water boxer.

Looks like you might have issues with the TPS but cant tell for sure. Also if the throttle shaft is different you will have issues swapping the actuation arm with the one on your existing 1.8 throttle body (needed to get the throttle pull in the correct orientation)

I have been running a modified 2.1 vanagon throttle body on a modified 1.8 plenum for years so physically it should be able to fit, may require some additional tweaking to get it working with l-jet though (im running megasquirt on mine)

Just call the GW owner Lucas Valdez or Mike to ask them if it would work.

Lucas is a former 914 owner too.

Good Luck!

I use a Vanagon 2.1 TB; didn't buy it from Go Westy though. Bought a used one on eBay and sent it to Phil in New Mexico for rebuilding.
There is a thread that addresses the TPS issue
