So I was looking thru the Bird Board at Fuel injection componets and I see

Fuel Injector, 4 Per Car, 914 2.0 (1973-74), Each
0-280-150-019 $210.10

Whoa!

Two years ago these were like $89 - now they are over $200!


Anyone know why?

I used stock 1.7 injectors.  

I was wondering if the 1.7 injectors are sufficient to support a 2 litre with aftermarket injection management.  This might help aleviate (sp?) some of the squeeze on the 2l units.

I think it would be hard to get this to work with a d-jet tho.

Yes. The 1.7 and 2.0 injectors are both huge for the engines they're attached to. A 2.0 with 1.7 injectors and PEFI would be a lot easier to tune near idle, yet they'd still flow plenty for top-end power.

I am using 1.7L injectors on my 2.0L with aftermarket FI.
It works and idles very good. I think it would be even better
if the injectors were smaller than they are.
If you do the math from an "injector flow rate chart" the
1.7L injectors are good for about 50HP per cylinder.
