I am hoping to get my 914 back on the road after a LONG absence. (20+ years)
I have to drop out my 2.4 engine due to a valve problem and plan on putting back in a stock rebuilt 2.0 engine (originally D-Jetronic). I don't trust the old FI and will only have a couple of weeks from start top finish, so I was thinking of just putting on a set of carbs as an easy fix to get it running. My big engine has a pair of Dellorto cabs that are already a bit too big even for the 2.4, and need to be rebuilt, so again not a good solution. I am looking at either a Dual 40 IDF setup or maybe one of the dual single barrel carb setups. Anyone have any good suggestions. Cost is a concern, so I will probably be looking at the Chinese carbs, EMPI or Webber copies. Thanks in advance. |

Nothing new I used to have a 924, so my joke was; "I only joined the PCA because the Audi and VW clubs would not have me!" In reality the 924 and 914 have more in common with the 356 than any Porsche since. The 356 was the best sports car Dr. Porsche could build out of the VW parts bin at the time. The 914 and 924 followed the same philosophy. |
