'83 3.0 with CIS in a 914, Anyone here done it? With the O2 control box? Options

[IronHillRestorations]

Anyone here done a later CIS conversion with the O2 control box. I'm working with BJ on his 3.0 conversion and would like to hear from someone that's gone this route. THANKS!!

What's the consensus, on a budget, on using a CIS engine for a base? Can you have a CIS w/o cutting up a 914 and w/o $ custom parts?

I have a 2.7 CIS and I like the idea of FI (better MGP and don't smell like a gas-station after driving)...but the idea of sharp throttle response of carbs of ITBs is enticing.

I'm not planning on an engine tear-down so RS style pistons and big cams aren't in order...I've head you may be able to use SC or 964 cams with the CIS pistons, but I'm not sure on that either.

I'm just looking for the best compromise...thanks for your thoughts.

Apparently the top of the air box will interfere with the engine lid, you'll have to remove the springs and put clips on the lid to keep it down. Also I think grind off the top of some of the plastic on the box of a lip or two. All easily do-able, nothing major.

I have carbs on my /4 914 and while I do enjoy the smell of my engine when I come to a stop, I don't reek when I get out of the car. (at least nobody has said anything and I've asked)

Am going with a 3.0 with Webbers using MSD. No muss, no fuss, no runners left

Word. It's annoying looking at all the electronics in my 911 with the CIS. Wires everywhere. What a nightmare!
