Hello World,
Has anyone successfully been able to pair(dial in) a modified 914 L-jet system with a 2200 or 2258? I am looking into doing this for my street car and am aware that the AFM will need to be modified. I have a 52mm throttle body with a modified throttle actuator so the operating arm will work with the L-jet and will fit the stock plenum seal. Will I need bigger fuel injectors than my new 2.0 injectors? If so, which ones? What else do I need? I did a Google search using key words, but was not able to find any previous threads on this topic. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. |

I am running a 50 mm Vanagon throttle body on my 2056. Moved the large wheel in the AFM 2 notches to get the AFR from 14.2 to 13.2.

Sir you are correct ,went thru my notes for VW AFM setting and found that I did change the spring tension on the wiper quadrant on the motor more than I mentioned . What was your final cam choice ? , seems the PO may have an issue there as 914werke mentioned. Appears the larger TB is a useful gain even on a mild engine ,I have the stock one and its pretty small.
