Has anyone used the Web Cam (grind 73?) to rebuild a 2.0 retaining the stock D-Jet? Good or bad experiences?

I just finished a full rebuild on my 74 2.0 D-Jet. I used the stock grind Web cam with their lifters and so far it works great. I decided against any other Web cam, because I didn't want any problems with the fuel injection.

Do a search here as well as at Pelican. It has been done, but you need to tweek the FI. A user named "3D914" was the last one to do it if I recall correctly. He ditched the D-Jet and went mega squirt

Thanks for the insight. I am in the total restoration phase with my car. Acquired in May of last year. I drove and enjoyed it for 5 months. In the meantime my Boxster sat in the other garage bay unused and forlorn. Then as winter approached here (it was -4 this morning) north of Boston, I began the restoration process. The car is now striped down to the tub and ready for media blasting and body work (you know the inevitable rust repair in the "hell holes." I would be happy to post pictures of the process. I have a hugh database of pictures, both very small files suitable for e-mail and large 5 mega pixel versions. So how does one post pictures? Can I simply attach them as attachments to a post? Car is originally a California 74 2.0 with appearance package (dual horns, driving lights, vinyl covered targa bar, etc.) I plan on rebuilding the 2.0 with the Mahle pistons but will retain the D-Jet and otherwise be mostly stock. Car will be used for driver in good weather and the Boxster will be the winter car. That ought to make the Boxster guys spin!

William post away. A lot of folks make a thread called "XXX's Resto Thread" and then post as they go.
We have a limit of 300kb per picture and you can only attach 1 pic per post, so it can get monotonous. We love pics, what a great way to learn! Welcome to the club! Can't wait to see the pics! |

Do we still have that "you need to post 5 times" before you can post pics?
Love to see your project, so post away! Reduce your photos to atleast 640x400 image size. You can do that with Photoshop Elements or other software. You the save to web feature to reduce the image size below the 300kb limit. Glad to see another East Coast guy! Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

From the simulations that I have run, you will likely lose some hp or torque if you just add a cam with more lift/duration and don't increase the compression ratio (considerably) from stock. |

Can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a board where there are so many responses! I frequent a couple of Boxster boards (one is great format, with almost no activity and then there's PPBB). In any event, I will make an effort over the next week to master sending in some pictures. I tried and discovered the size problem. Easiest fix is to change the camera settings to smaller images. So stay tuned. Another question: now that I'm down to the tub I'm exploring adding front and rear sway bars. Again my preference is to use OEM pieces. I might autocross the car, but seriously doubt any track use. Suggestions? Front only? Adjustable links? Experiences with OEM versus after market? Remember my intent is to keep the car very close to stock with modest improvements in horse power and handling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
