This has been talked about extensively and it seems like it is possible. These are the issues I see that need to be resolved:
1. DN Hunt has nearly completed the A/F maps for a stock 2.0…dyno time is all that remains. 2. Someone, or the car owner, needs to obtain and build the MS hardware. 3. Someone, or the car owner, needs to get the additional needed components and assemble/modify them ready to bolt on and either offer an exchange program or let the car owner do it: TPS, sensors, plenum mods, O2 sensor bung, MegaSpark and…(I am sure there is more). 4. Someone, or the car owner, needs to get me a complete system operational, so I can prototype the harness and make it a bolt on. I suspect I will be on D-jet for quite a while before my stash of MPS’s run out…that and my other 914 projects… The only way I see this will work is if a turn-key package can be assembled and sold competitive with the cost of carbs. I think the hard cost of the components is competitive and reasonable, but a truly bolt-on, turn key swap, considering the cost of labor to assemble the board makes it more pricey. What else needs to be done? I can and will do the harness when the opportunity arises…who else can jump in and help? |

jkeyser:
The simple answer is nothing. The scary answer is everything. The 2.0L have these great big injectors that are good for about 250 hp @ the stock fuel pressure. I imagine everyone can come up with shopping list of engine mods they would like to do. Flow the heads, retune, you don't want to leave any horsepower behind. Bigger valves, retune, cam, retune, exhaust, retune, intake runners, retune, throttle body, bigger jugs. Turbo anyone? Hold on to your wallet. I think people will play because they can. I know its going to drive me nuts. Wife too I supose. Dave |
