Since it is manifold pressure based and manually adjustable, with some tweaks it should work ..... right??
My 914 is a 1973 1.7 ...... so I was thinking of going with 1911cc kit and tweaking the D-jet. So just a question to see if anyone had tried D-jet Individual Throttle Bodies or if anyone thinks it would work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Is 100 HP possible from a 1911cc with ported exhaust ports, stock D-jet and stock cam? |

I have though about this from time to time because I do have a set of manifolds and individual throttle bodies sitting out in the garage (or somewhere). The complications I foresee are the Manifold pressure hook up, Intake Air Temperature sensor location and the cold start valve location. I wonder if tapping all 4 intakes for manifold pressure would give a smooth enough vacuum signal for the MAP sensor or would it exaggerate the pulses to the point the MAP was confused.
Quite possibly the performance increase would be insignificant if the heads and exhaust can flow any more air that the stock intake can provide. But since carbs seem to wake up a stock engine I would think if the FI could provide fuel to go with the air from the individual throttle bodies then it should work as well as carbs. Jim |
