I just used Chris Foley's excellent rebuild kit on my leaky MPS. After removing the spider webs and varnish it all went together nicely. Chris gave me some great tips on getting an initial set. I think it is there but I don't have any experience with how a well tuned djet 2.0 914 should run. I suspect there is probably 150k or so on this engine although it could be lower, I doubt higher unless it was cared for very very well. Impossible to know with the dead odometer. Compression is great on all cylinders with no variability.
I took a little video of a drive, start up, corners, and two pulls to 60 (of various quality). After the first 40 seconds I opened my sliding rear window so you can hear the engine sounds better. https://youtu.be/Fi4vFCWhlCw |

The tuning kit does not come with instructions on tuning, but Chris is outstanding about answering questions and supporting his products.
The most detailed documented instructions (that I'm aware of) for tuning are here on Anders' site: https://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/manif...sure_sensor.htm You really need an O2 sensor to get it dialed in. |

I have a good one but I just don't want to drill the exhaust... For 75 I can take it to a Dyno nearby. I think I will try to get it as close as I can by plugs and ear, then hit the Dyno. That will really get me the definitive wot anyway.
And pbanders is where I started, great info. |
