I think for the moment I'm going to stick with carbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . Do you think 44s will be too much for a stock 1.7?

Yes. Way too much carb. If you buy new carbs and everything that goes with the 'package' you're going to spend way north of $800.

Agree 44's are too large. Also, to really run correctly you will need a cam that supports carbs, I'll bet all the PO did was remove the D-Jet and add the single carb.

I have 34s on my 1.8L. It runs fine with a SVDA distributor. After I got it setup there was a lot of tweeking done, but overall it runs fine. The throttle setup that came with the carbs needs to adjusted once in a while. My pre summer routine includes throttle adjustment, vacuum sync between carbs, and timing. Plus lifter adjustment, oil leak checks, etc.. I also changed the jets to get a better mixture.

The plan is to go to 40s soon plus a new carb cam...

If you want carbs, go with,40mm IDF carbs so you can find parts as you change your motor etc. also, better resale. 44 are too big, 34 are difficult to get all the right parts for a type 4...

The venturis and jets can be purchased at lots of places, I have found aircooled.net to be the best, friendly, and helpful group.

Dellorto DRLA 36's or Weber 40 IDF's for stock motor. I prefer Dellorto, they run smoother and need less tinkering, but I have used Webers with success also.

It's Well documented that the 'new' empis have issues fresh out of the box. Were those prices linkage included? Intake manifolds? Filter assemblies? It adds up quickly.

You would be better off going to CBperformance or redline Webber to buy your carbs.

Also, aircooled.net is really helpful, knows the 914, helps with jets etc....so if you buy the kit from them, you will be up and running sooner with phone support if needed.

Those are two sources that manufacture Camshafts for our cars and will offer phone support for the product they produce.

I installed the empi hpmx 40s on my stock 1.7 about three years ago.
Adjusted float heights, verified vents and jetting, cleaned them up, and then vroom vroom!!
Like them so much just put a set on a bug.
