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?

adding Carbs to a stock engine IMHO doesn't wake up the engine...using the stock cam is the limiting factor not the FI. Carbs seem to wake it up with all that noise they make.
Now adding a carb cam and dual carbs wakes upa 2.0L fo sure...



I'll have to disagree with that. I have a stock cam in my 2.0 with ported heads, long conrods and dual 40mms, and while it runs out of steam at around 6k rpms, it is much stronger than an injected engine.

He said stock engine, that's not stock.


Hmm, well it's a stock cam still, but he's got FAR better heads, this gentleman has a comparable engine except for the con rods. I'd say chris' engine is better (rabbit rods is a great combo) but I can still see 100HP outta a stock setup with proper induction. I've felt the power difference between stock FI and carbs. One has to remember the entire reason for FI was emissions, and it was before they figured out how to achieve good power and emissions.
