73 2.0 build, new 2.0 build carbs or FI Options

[ditster1]

Hey all, just purchased my first 914 73 2.0. the thing is literally straight and rust free so I'm going to do a complete drivetrain rebuild with suspension. looking to build a nice engine with good quality parts for I am building this to be my grandsons first Porsche he's 6 so i can enjoy it for a while. I am trying to decide on carbs or leave the fuel injection? car runs drives and idles great. need thoughts on engine build and suspension parts to use Thanks to all

FI has a mild cam because the design of djet relies on a vacuum signal
That signal is inconsistent or dirty when a high lift cam is used or any valve overlap exists

My car is djet
It’s a good system
But limited by its technology to use a performance cam shaft

You cant mix a high performance cam with djet


A carb does not care.
And modern FI does not care either

But the cam is in the block and the decision of which cam you use will drive the induction

So you have to decide before you build
