I tried searching, but didn't get much.
What is involved with fitting a 2.7 with CIS in a 914? I can figure out the plumbing and the electrical, but I believe that I had read long ago that it was a PITA to fit CIS without cutting anything or perhaps a mixture of different parts could be used or parts of the intake could be relocated in order to get it all to fit. I'd prefer to avoid cutting this 914 engine compartment since I'm trying to make this one appear mostly factory. Any advice or better yet pictures would be appreciated. I'd rather not go with carbs, since I believe that I'd need to swap cams and pistons in order to do it right. This one is only going to be a fun street car (I already have a dedicated track car) (All my conversion experience has been with 3.2s, but I have this body, and I have this engine...) Thanks in advance! |

The only reasoning I can come up with for the pressure relief valve would be if the bypass in either the filter console or the filter would fail, either popping the oil cooler or the oil filter. Most modern filters that I know of have a bypass built into them. Some of the racing filters will filter 100% oil all the time, but I'm not using one of those, and the filter console that I have doesn't even have a bypass installed and relies on the bypass of the filter itself. Not installing any of that makes sense to me, and makes plumbing far simpler. I was mainly looking for what others thought.
As far as the stepped washers go, I would assume that the one protruding would mount next to the tank, the recessed one would be in the engine bay covered with one of those large cup washers then a flat washer like on a 911. I'll ask again, how many folks remove the 4-cyl engine mounts? While looking at where I think I'll end up running oil lines, those mounts might just be in the way, so that pretty much answers my own question. Some days it's just tough to keep on-track and motivated. Too many distractions such as it looks like I need new o-rings for the injectors on that 2.7. I'm still looking for those large cup washers that I swear I bought once upon a time... |
