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. |

The biggest throttle body you can easily run is the GoWesty TB which is around 52mm. I had one running on my 2056.
Not only is it larger and allow more air, but it is new, and does not have to be rebushed in order not to leak. Its a really solid unit. I have a thread here on the transfer. it was very easy. One thing you will need to do is open up the intake plenum or you will have the same restriction you would have with a stock TB. I had my plenum opened up slowly at an exhaust shop, and then tapped it into the right shape with a small chasing hammer. Used a thin smear of RTV to place the TB instead of trying to find a gasket that would fit. The outcome was that I was able to open a whole new row of bins at the top end of my rev range. Zach |
