I found a volvo 242 at the local pick and pull. The complete engine is there along with the turbo. I took all the CIS fuel injection system along with fuel pump, accumulator, throttle body, WUR, injectors, etc. The turbo in it has no play in the bearing, and spins freely. I am so exited. I have been looking for a CIS system to modify for boost, now I have one that was designed for it from the factory. The best part is that it only cost me $50 for the entire system, turbo and all. Now I just need to complete acouple of things around the house so I can start working on it.

Sorry, you can't turbo a 914.....

Yea I know the running joke. This seemed to be the best solution for turbocharging on a budget. I am already familiar with CIS from my 911, so this seemed perfect for me. I'll try to shot some pics when I start working on it.

Wahoo!

I just landed here from 20 years in volvo land.
Are you saying all that CIS crap I have been saving is actually useful to 914 folks?
Can you be a little specific? I assume its only the mechanical injection stuff, k jet ?

We like to use the MPS's off the Djet Volvos too.

I like CIS, I have considered running it when the 1.7 goes 2.0, and the 2.0 goes monster MFI.
