I'm in the process of installing the Beta KitCarlson EMS. Today it ran. I've been working on modifying the wiring harness to match the stock layout. I had one wire in the wrong place today which made it keep running even when the key was off. Fixed that and now it idles great.

Things I've done so far:
- Modify the wiring harness.
- Buy plug wires that will work with the new coil.
- Made an adapter plate to mount the coil in the stock location.

Things I still have to do:
- Send the harness to Jeff B. for replication.
- Fine tune the engine.
- Make a mounting plate for the brain to put it in the stock location.

You can see the coil in the last picture, here's the plate I made that will mount it securely in the stock location.

Where are you mounting the brain?

If you mount the coil and brain too close together you wil get EMP problems...my SDS install manual stressed that you should keep the coil pack at least 3 feet away from the CPU.

Stock stock stock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The box it's in will be grounded to the chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It's a stock, stealth replacement. If it causes drivability problem then I'll look for a solution, but I'm not going to start looking for problems to fix.

Where is "Kit" on this "kit" ? Are you the only person with a 914 related kit ? I found a dyno in Mountain view that is identical to Jakes and the guy builds alcohol burning T4 quarter midget race engines... he said we could use the dyno for injection tuning.

I'm pretty sure I have the only 914 kit. I'm sending the harness to Jeff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Dave's not very talkative, so I'm not really sure.

Let me know when and what I need to do and I'll rip it out and bring the engine down. I'm free anytime. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Looks great Mark...You and Mueller are gonna put me outta bizness... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Any chance I can see this harness installed in the engien bay before you rip it out? How about the breakfast on Saturday?

Speaking of which...I invited the owner of that 25-Large yellow 73 to the breakfast....he said he might join us...

Until I get the TPS adapter, I can't drive it. But I'll make it happen. You'll get to see it.

Thanks Jeff,

Mark,

I recall seeing the adapter in the box you gathered everything in.

I'll look around tomorrow for it however.

I looked everywhere and my shop is cleaner than yours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Dave said he'd send me a new one. I'll look some more, and I'd appreciate any looking you can do.

are you talking about the adapter on "inside" of the TPS to adapt it to the d-shaft?

Mark, for even more "stealth" you should be able to rip the guts out of the stock TPS (I used a 2.0 unit) and fit the new TPS inside it....

Brad, who is this guy??

I have been trying to get up with some of those teams for months but all the ones I have found were running Auto craft engines these days...

I was going to try to convert them to TIV with my heads..

Tell that dude that I have a TIV head that flows 280 CFM on the intake and 230 on the exhaust!

I just want to thank all the club members working hard to make the Kit Carlson F.I. system a reality.

I think the improved drivability, stealth look (for stock engines), and ability to pass smog test will benefit the entire 914 community for years to come. I also believe that a relieble "bolt-on" F.I. will bring people to the 914 community that are afraid of the old stock F.I., don't like carbs, or want BIG Type IVs without carbs.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!
