I finally got to drive my 914 again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Back in June I was having fits with the L-Jet system that was on my car so I decided it was time to tackle a project I was wanting to do for some time, a CIS conversion.
I retrofitted a CIS Basic system to my stock 1.8L engine using parts from various VWs and Mercedes and today I fired it up for the first time and was able to take it for a long drive. It felt AWESOME. Smooth reliable power all the way to redline. It has a nice growl to it too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) I'm quite impressed. I still have to make some small adjustments but at least now I can get back to driving the car daily and the best part, NO MORE JACKSTANDS! I'm going to drive the snot out of the car this week to get the system dialed in and hopefully next weekend I will take it for a day drive in the mountains. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) More details and pics to come later. The cat is happy too!  |

I can speak of it's reliability and performance, I currently have owned the Evil Ed 914 GT Turbo for the past 7 years. I was building a clone of Ed's car when he put his car up for sale and I bought it.
the CIS system that I got from Gary Miller that Ed used I recently sold to a friend who recently installed it in his 914 2.0 with grest success! I have tweaked the CIS in my GT Turbo with the injectors fro a 6.9 liter V 8 Mercedes which has provided increased fuel flow as well as 20 degree lower cylinder temps, also changed the WUR to the one used on the 930. The CIS components are avaliable and as far as the intake runners if you find a set out of a VW bus that accept the CIS injectors you don't have to mod the 914 runners they bolt right up. |
