Does it exist yet?

Ideally, 1k for ITB's, EFI and harness.

Anyone...and no Megasquirt please..

Looking for something to start with...then like any good drug, get hooked and pay more to play.

You could also use old 80s GM EFI, the port injection stuff, is simple, a MAP, TPS, AIT, CTS, and a feed for the trigger off a dizzy. A few hours at a Pick and pull you have your stuff. Another couple hours of dyno time with a person that knows how to program this stuff and your done. LOL thats as cheap as it gets.

Or build your own intake, with single TB, is by far the easiest. I have used Motorcycle TBs off a Ducati 1200cc units. You have to get the manifold spacing right. Cut weld tip, or build custom manifolds, not as had as you might think. You can do it out of fiberglass and carbon fiber. With a little bit of foam as the core. You design them form the inside out. Build the runners out of foam, build the mounts out of Al plate, drill all our holes etc... Glue the runners to the plates, and then wrap the foam with packing tape. And epoxy, and glass them up. a couple layers of fiberglass then wrap in carbon. Very lite part, and not bad if you want to build a custom intake. Yhn gut the foam, its a lost casting method. Great for one off parts terrible for production.

If it was me, an your dead set of ITBs. I would go motorcycle, custom intake, and then use a Microsquirt. They are rugged prebuilt, limited, but pretty nice package.

Or if you want to learn, efi your lawn mower or other small engine. a four stroke 2 cylinder engine will give you all the same issues as your 914 engine. In some ways even more. And if you blow it up its not as bad as dumping a type-4 engine.

Or get a cheap beater car that is EFI, rip out the factory ECU, and install, Micro, Mega, SDS, HalTech, and find it used.

Megasquirt even makes a PnP unit, which is not bad way to learn into a factory engine.
