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.

And timing and duration and peak and hold and on and on.

Short answer, different injector, different result.

And I can guarantee almost all results will be worse.

Hitting the sweet spot in EFI is hard and requires some electrical knowlege.

Bumping up fuel flow won't result in much power and will result in worse gas economy and drivability. After all, there is only so much gas a cylinder of air can burn, after that, the gas goes out the tailpipe.
