Big thanks to Craig for helping to facilitate picking up our new 914. Turned out to be a great day and a great drive back home.

914 is better than I would have thought.

Thanks again Craig!

Dan & Michelle

Found some of the harness had been cut off and then another part cut into.

Friggen people.

My camera battery was just about dead, so sorry for the fuzzy pictures.

Someone used a BIG-ASS-FRIGGEN screwdriver to remove this one, trashed it: (CSV)

Boy, that's fuzzy! Again, sorry about that picture quality.

I zipped up to a local pick-a-part today and snagged some of the newer style connections from newer VW's.

I replaced the broken CSV blue connector, pretty cool to keep the color coding.

Then I had to splice back into the harnes and solder back on a new loom for the AAR (Black connector, also new style)

At this point, I figured I was pretty much done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

But wait!

There was more cut wires!

Another bad picture, but the last of the soldering for tonight.

I checked all wires from point to point.

Looks like I got them all now.

Still my 6-pin L-Jet. I was hoping to source a 7-pin so I'd get the temp sensor in the AFM. But I think I'm just gonna stick with this.

I'm already into it bucks and time beyond it's value so any other course of action will just cost more time and money.

I'll keep updating as progress is made. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The ethanol they are putting in the gas right now is killing me.

I forgot to put in my couple ounces of stable and made it about 100 miles before the carbs started clogging up again.

Sweet.

Stopped O'l Rich's place and sourced me this:


Try draining your fuel bowls and maybe blow some carb cleaner in there (flush it out) and put on a better fuel filter... should get you by for now.

Once you get the Ljet up and running you will like it. Better idle than Djet and its pretty easy to adjust the AFR with the little screw and big wheel.

I can do that weekly, as T.C. Mentioned, the ethonal just kills carbs. They are packing more than 10% of the crap into fuel were I live. Any gas more than a week old turns to a gummy goo. I forgot to add some of that "Stable" to my last fill-up and I don't drive enough to use a tank a week. So I was blowing out jets again.

Frustrating!

Geof, thanks for the tip, I have that picture saved somewhere.

I'm also going to stick with 185cc injectors, not going to the 187cc 912E 105's for now. Shooting for fuel economy. This thing is slower than a 1600cc 1975FI Type1 anyway. So performance would be a waste of time and money without splitting the case.

I'm starting to move faster on the FI conversion, so I'll keep posting pictures (Got new batteries for the camera this morning).

Thanks Dino, I should be cool. Rich has been really good about feeding me parts.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I forgot to bring pics with me this morning, I'll post later tonight.

Got lots of little things cleaned, painted etc. Ordered tons of vac and proper fuel lines, pump, new head temp sensor etc. (ouch on the final bill).

I have the injectors with me and will drop them off at a local shop to have cleaned, tested and graphed out for flow. As I mentioned before, gonna stick with 185cc injectors. By L-Jet application, they work up through many 2.0 sized engine applications inlcuding some Asian 2.0 cars from the 80's. So that extra 2cc's of max flow from 912E injectors isn't going to yield anything I can feel.

Crossing my fingers the AFM is good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

This system came from an engine niether Rich or I ever heard actually run. There are signs of issues after digging into things as well. The seals on the oil cap/fill were all bad (New ones on the way) and the air by-pass on the TB was turned really far out as well as the stop for the butterfly not touching the stop (So not doing anything).

I've cleaned and set everything per factory specs.

This weekend I plan on installing, maybe not firing off, but pulling the carbs and starting the install.

Dan,
If the oil seals for the oil fill are the o-ring type ( about 2 inches), I have several you can have.

Honestly don't know the size of them, but no worries, already ordered everything under the sun that could possibly cause a vac leak.

I just checked a local FLAPS and they have in stock BWD injectors for $25 each. Sheese, I can't get my old crusty ones cleaned for that!

They may not be Bosch, but they are NEW and the specs are a spot on match. These 185cc L-Jet injectors are very common.

Matter of fact, when the time comes to up this to a 2270, probably just going to snag a bunch of stuff from a 83-85' 944. Easy conversion.

Out with the old.

Interesting, the breather box had just the smallest oil film, things were very clean after 5k miles. Nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In with some new:

Nice thing about FI, it's stock and all fits.

2nd time I've done this on this and the last 914-4 I owned. Going from Carbs back to FI. Although my first time with L-Jet.

I made a little bracket for the ECU so no holes had to be drilled and it's really close to the stock location. No harnes mod's. You can see the double relay and resister pack for the injectors.

That's more than 50% of the entire system done today, sweet!

I would have installed the runners, but I'm waiting on gaskets, hoses etc and still need to drill the center hole so they'll bolt onto the 2.0 heads.

The intake runners drying after a little painting. I probably should have drilled the center stud hole, but oh well. I'll just be careful, hopefully install these early next week.
