Wow. Really, Brad? Up to 3.2 without an external oil cooler? I always heard that engines in 914s tend to run hotter than if they were in a 911 chassis. It makes sense to me that you end up with less air flow, perhaps even a vacuum in the mid-engine setup. I heard of 914-6 owners back in the day popping engine lids as they drove to bring temps down, and these were 2 liter engines that were running so hot. You'd figure that if the factory thought it necessary to run an oil cooler (or even the hokey trombone setup) in 911SCs and even some 911Ses, then it's even more wise to do something of the like in a 914.
As to the MFI setup, it's a lovely thing if everything is right. If the pump is calibrated and working properly, if the butterflies are tight, and if you're knowledgeable enough to mess with it. Otherwise, it can be a big pain in the a**. To work in a 914, you probably have to weld a small tube into your original 914-6 heat exchanger sheet metal (NO!) and cut a hole into your sheet metal for the belt drive to the fuel injection pump (NO! Again!) Sorry, it hurts to have factory stuff cut up for this purpose. |
