I was flipping through some old magazine articles that i have and was looking at a photo that i have looked at a hundred times. When it struck me that they chopped up the CIS system to fit in the #13 916. The article is fro the 1987 July/August VW& Porsche magazine page 49. The article claims that they replaced the original six with a 3.0 SC motor. My scanner is not working at this time so I can't post a picture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Does any one else have the picture they can post? I am in the process of putting a 2.7 with CIS and wondering if what they did looks as crazy as I think. or maybe it is a simple way of getting it all to fit?
In the picture it looks like they cut the air boot in half moved the sensor plate and fuel distributor turning it clockwise and connected the two with a metal box??? Leaving the latch in place I will try and get the photo scanned to post. |

The air cleaner is most likely under the fuel distributor in what appears to be a box from the picture, just as it was for most VW and Porsche applications. They also rotated that box 180deg, for what purpose, I do not know. All suspect.
The strange thing to me, is the use of that OVER pipe/box and how they fabricated it to have a cutout for the lid latch. Strange stuff, and seemingly not efficient in build/fabrication. I also like the reference to the 2.0 as noisy... |
