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 tore the CIS off and put on Webers for my 3.0 /6 conversion. It sounds better, looks better, performs better, easier to work on, and makes the conversion itself a lot easier with fewer electronics and sensors. But your MPG goes down and fuel smell is indeed an issue. I don't care about MPG but sometimes the fuel smell is annoying. Regrets? None.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Not everyone does, but I loved my car with the 3.0 and webbers. Fuel smell is bad on cold start and I was able to lean the idle so its not too bad there. Also leave the top on until after you back out of the driveway helps. Freeway mileage on mine was around 20, 23 at best. I admit CIS is a reliable system if it all works right. But man with webbers, 964+ cams and headers a 3.0 914 is a screamer. I actually lapped a 81 CIS 911 at thunderhill in about 10 mins on the track. |
