My car has a 2056cc engine in it, but with the stock L-Jet fuel injection. And when I was modifying the engine I went ahead and put in a slightly more radical cam. I was wondering if I shoulf keep the L-jet and try to "tweak" it to privide enough fuel, or if I should switch over to Webbers?

BTW, does anyone out there have information on the diferences between the fuel injectors on the 1.8L vs. the 2.0L (mainly flow rates).

Yes, the car runs - and I thought that I had it diled in fairly well. But when I'm having issues with the oil temps getting too high if I drive the car for much longer than 15 min.

I thought that I had solved this problem after ajusting the fuel injection a bit because it ran very well for a little while. I ran it hard for a good 30-45min and the oil temps never went above 210 F, and then when I parked the car back in the garage I let it idle for about 10 min abd the temps dropped down to 180 F like one would expect.

Now, even if I let it sit at idle, the temps will continue to rise above 210 and I'm sure beyond 220-230 if I let them. My idea right now is that the fuel injection can't support the engines increased displacement and it is therefore running too lean (which would cause it to run hotter correct?)
