I am thinking of putting my fuel injection back on my '74 914 2.0. It currently has webers on it and I have the motor out on the stand. Will it help my resale value if I put the injection back on? The case is non number matching.

QUOTE(ndfrigi @ Mar 25 2019, 04:09 PM)  so if the engine has a carb cam, F.I. totally will not work anymore? Not for smooth transitions of power. Cams have a particular profile relative to its use, FI cam lobes are shaped differently than a carb cam. Carbs rely on vacuum to meter out fuel, while FI relys on vacuum the deliver air while a computer decides the fuel mixture. The difference in what is being delivered and how determine shape of the lobe. |
