The title says it all.
Looking for advise and or threads to help me make informed decisions regarding a possible future rebuild / upgrade of my 1.8 liter that has a very reliable and well maintained L-Jet injection. I have heard 1911 is a good evolutionary step. I have heard "2.0 liter max!" I have heard not to go bigger than 2.0 liter as my FI system won't play nice with it. ...but I have heard that you can use the famed 2056 w/ mods. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I looked around the world but only found bits and pieces of info on doing 1.8 liter L-jet upgrades. I am sure that I overlooked a classic thread on this subject. Any info or leads are appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) Thank you in advance for your help! and a Merry Christmas too All! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) |

Djet doesn't like changes in engine displacement. But Ljet handles increased displacement (within reason) with no problems.
(Without getting too technical, this is because the mechanism of airflow measurement is different between the two systems. Djet measures pressure and INFERS an airflow based on a displacement. Ljet just measures the airflow directly with no assumptions.) I just recently had my stock 1.8liter upgraded to a 2056. Runs just like stock. |
