I'm just thinking about different options for better/cheap performance that are kind of bolt-on. I saw someones flow sheet on the 914 injectors and they were about 100cc. Browsing through e-bay I found Ford 2.3L injectors that were 147cc and Ford Focus injectors that were 200cc. That seems like it might be the equivilent of swapping a 2-bbl carb with a 4-bbl carb. Of course the impedance is different but I'm sure there's a way around that.
I know Jake has said the plenum is restrictive but it also seems like you could open that up with a Dremel. Is this just naive? I was also thinking about building a megasquirt unit that fit inside the stock 914 ECU case as a stealth upgrade. |

Yep, I recently looked.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=78993&hl= You need to consider not only flow, but impedance, electrical and physical connections. Unless you want to deal with a custom fuel rail, the stock injectors and similar (see the list in my post) are a good solution. Pintle injectors are durable and available. Maybe there are knock-offs made by Python or RAM or some other third party but I could not locate them. |
