I'm looking for information on dropping a 3.0 SC CIS-injected engine into a 914.
What's needed for the wiring? Other parts required? Impressions? What did you use for heat exchangers? Did you have to add an external oil cooler? Front mounted cooler or fan-cooled mounted elsewhere? Thanks. |

I have been reading up on oil coolers, the need for them and where they can be successfully placed. It seems that a rule of thumb that has been thrown out is that anything larger than a 2.7 running FI needs an external cooler. Obviously, I won't do anything that can't be bolted into the car and then removed but weighing the options is difficult.
OPTION 1 - Its a given - I have my carbs rebuilt (they need to be rebushed). Once I do this, I could simply put them back on the stock 2.0 and drive it. OPTION 2 - Or, I could pull and pickle the entire engine and carbs, and spend the money to have the carbs rebuilt towards a complete FI engine. I've found a 2.7 CIS, a 3.0 CIS and a 3.2Motornic all for about the same money going in.....but then there is the whole oil cooler issue. OPTION 3 - Have the carbs rebuilt but set-up for a larger, say 2.4 carbed engine (again, found one of these for about the same money as in option 2 but its rebuilt). This approach would be more $s overall because I'd be rebuilding the carbs and buying a motor but there would be no need for an external oil cooler and it would suit the character of the car better than turning it into a monster. Thoughts? Any recommendations on where to have the carbs rebuilt? Because of the shaft play, they need to be rebushed so its not something I'm ready to try. |
