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 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. |

Did you compare your setup to a FI engine with the same mods? Because otherwise it's apples and oranges ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
