I'm getting ready to build a 2.0 engine for my latest 914 project. I've put together several of these motors in the past but have always used the Euro type Mahle 94mm pistons. How big of a piston can I use and still retain the FI. I can make minor modification to the FI if need be. I've done this in the past. Has anyone out there try this?

Hey Mr. Self Righteous, your way is not the only way. Lots of other people have had success and quite a few of us nail it the first time. Recognize that. Accept it. Jake you are incrediblly talented and we value you as a knowledgeable resource, but stop crapping on the rest of us that have been successful.

QUOTE(Krieger @ Jan 14 2011, 09:32 PM)  Hey Mr. Self Righteous, your way is not the only way. Lots of other people have had success and quite a few of us nail it the first time. Recognize that. Accept it. Jake you are incrediblly talented and we value you as a knowledgeable resource, but stop crapping on the rest of us that have been successful. You have perceived what I have said incorrectly, but that may be my fault because it was written incredibly clearly to get a point across. The original poster asked if the stock system could be used on a larger engine, something of 2.4 liters of displacement. The direct answer to that is yes. The best way to explain what the person doing the modification may experience would be: "Results may vary" One of the only times that I have failed when I put my efforts into getting a result was working with the constraints of stock FI. I see lots of people make lots of mistakes, these mistakes vary from internal design that makes an engine impossible to tune, to improper placement of components that cause their car to burn to the ground. We are generally a last resource for people that can't figure it out and that gets really old, especially when people call up down and out having lost thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it except an engine that won't run. If I have to hurt some feelings to help people see that they should put more consideration into their project before opening their wallet, I am willing to do that.
