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?

There are really no limits in engine maniplation. The difference is what can SAFELY be done without losing the entire investment or creating an engine that does nothing well except idle. Been there..
Smart people won't try to build an efficient D jet engine above 2056cc, beyond that the compromises are great. Projects that begin with compromise, end in demise. |

Projects that begin with compromise, end in demise. could have said your viewpoint without throwing stones. I never considered myself stupid. Its built like this for a number of reasons...smog, PCA classing,,,,etc etc. The compromise may be less HP, but the stock motor and a 2056 is also a compromise if we consider that Jake can and does get 200hp or damn close to that out of a type4 motor. Anything else is a compromise... We all have our opinions and I could not find any data on someone doing this, just rumors. It works, plain and simple. Look at using a 411 MPS with a single manifold, its alot easier to tune, looks the same, and you can tune it perfectly. Rich |

How is the 411 MPS different than on our 914's? I thought the 411 motor was really close to the 914 motor, do you get better adjustment range with the 411 MPS? or ????? |
