Counter to popular belief I do not stay up late inventing hairbrained questions for you all, although that is tempting sometime given the wealth of knowledge here. As of around 10:30 AM today this will be a real life scenario.
Let’s imagine I have a 2.0l case running 1.8 heads with a single Weber that runs but I want to convert back to FI. Let’s further image that I have both a 1.8 FI set up and a 2.0 FI set up sitting in the shelf. Which FI set up would I be best advised to use on this engine, and for bonus points and adding to the community knowledge here, why? BTW - planning on doing a tech day on this with/for the SoCal mafia once I get a plan together. Given what seems to be a trend back to FI (or at least renewed interest) I think it could be a useful tech day for the community. Thanks! |

2.0 intake tubes and throttle body will not fit in 1.8 heads without modification. I would get 2.0 heads and 96mm pistons and build a true 2056. Why fart around cobbling crap together when the proper parts are readily available?

Why fart around cobbling crap together when the proper parts are readily available? Good morning, hope you had a good weekend. To answer your question-because I have other projects and wanted to see if there was a "easy "way to simply swap out the car for FI based on what I had access to on the shelf. Building/refreshing an engine is on my to do list of skills to acquire, but that seems a lot more involved then swapping out an FI system. So run the 1.8 L set up since it'll work with the heads? Would that result in less fuel flow them with the 2 L engine wants or is the system capable of keeping up for street use? |
