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!  |

As for what happens with a radical cam with the CIS, I can't speak to how a T4 would act with one, but I can say that my dad raced a circle track 1.8 rabbit with CIS.
The class limited lift to .425" but had no limits on duration or LC. He ran a seriously radical cam with lots of overlap. He also had 14.0:1 compression. It was actually very drivable at lower revs (which it only saw driving around the pits and onto the trailer), and was unbelievable strong on the track (he won a lot of races with it). It idled great with a little lope, but it never bucked and throttle response was instant, even when heavily loaded. It surprised us both how well the CIS handled the overlap. Of course I'm sure the compression helped and if it had been a street car (with lower compression) it might not have been as tame, and the myriad driving situations that come up on the street might have revealed some shortcomings. But I have driven carbed engines with a lot of cam on the street that were much less behaved. To bad it's such a PITA to change cams in a T4. It would be pretty cool to see how one responded with a lot of cam. I suspect that the lighter 914 would be more forgiving to it than a heavy bus. I also thing that a larger engine would handle the CIS with more cam better. |
