You should be fine. Don't bump yourself into race car classes just because you are running d-jet on your l-jet motor. You have gained no performance advantage, and like you pointed out, both d-jet and l-jet 914's (1.7 and 1.8) are classified the same.
Of course, if there is someone in your class who you are beating, they could protest it and you would probably lose. But it is very doubtful that would happen. Demick |

Someone, in the past, did just that. I recall talking with Mike Lommatzch about the classification system one time. He mentioned that someone showed up (in his class, I think) with D-jet on a 1.8, and that it ran in the stock class as a "reliability improvement". (Ummm, OK....) I personally feel that the air flow meter is enough restriction that D-jet would offer slightly better performance, but I also feel that it would be "down in the noise".
Run it, and if nobody bitches, you're fine! --DD |

i think that the general rules and principles allowing updating/backdating will mean that you're okay.
