Has anyone in the group ever mounted a 4 bbl carb on a 914-1.8 or 2.0 before? If so how did it work out?
Thanks, Johnny! |

Not here to question which is the better performing system, but for years before EFI, etc, center mounted carbs were used on flat motors everywhere. In the late '60's, we ran a G Prod Corvair in SCTA with a center mounted 4 barrel. It was indeed very fast (only 2 MPH off the record the first time out). Race car it was, but throttle response was fantastic (It was one of the things that stuck in my memory) even with those long runners.
Back in the '70's when my '73 2.0 914 left me stranded on several occasions (there simply wasn't the knowlege of EFI then), I adapted a small single barrel card to get me going. Worked fine (meaning reliably) until the Weber 40's arrived. Andys |
