We are building a 75 conversion with a freshly rebuilt stock 69S 2.0. I have a set of 914-6 webers that were just rebuilt (jewelry), and the fellow that sold the motor has offered up the injection for it.
I really wanted the sound and stock look of carbs, but my friend said that the injection provides close to 40hp for this motor, and sounds better than carbs?? Any thoughts? |

MFI certainly does have a cool factor and will make the motor worth a lot more with that injection on it. It will have crisper throttle response and an interesting sound.
I don't see anywhere near 40 hp increase though. Costs a lot more to buy and set up and tougher to adjust unless you know someone very comfortable with it. As I remember it was not easy to get at the adjustments on the pump when in a 914 because it is backwards. I saw people cut through the firewall to get the adjustment tools through. Then again.. Dealerships in the 70's weren't pulling MFI off engines and replacing it with carbs for no reason.. My mechanic had a bunch of twin plug MFI engines running around the Boston Area back in the 80's and 90's... |
