Don't think the L jet is too tolerant of lots of overlap.

An aggressive cam might be too much, but a larger displacement of let's say +15% should easily tolerable for an L-jet system. However, you have to adjust the airflow sensor for the larger volume!

Usually, getting more fuel into an engine is not the problem, but getting more air is. A larger displacement, aggressive cam, and some other modifications gets you more air; the fuel will "follow"...

I have a 1.8 L-jet in good condition with ultrasonically cleaned injectors, adjusted airflow sensor, new fuel lines (!!!), high flow cotton air filter, 2.0 exhaust system, and it is a serious 914. It has a standard cam, but FLAT (not dome shaped) Mahle pistons with an increased compression ratio of about 8.5:1... IMPO the only thing better is a TUNED, ie. modified 2.0 engine (larger displacement, aggressive cam with Webers, etc.).

Nevertheless, for AX you probably need something more than a 1.8.

What should I expect to pay for a '73-2.0 3rd owner. Had it for 12+ years.

No accidents. No rust, $6K in engine/transmission receipts? the body has a dent on the left side of the car. Solid condition. I am waiting on pictures. Thanks

Say the paint is rough, the interior is rough (but comes with all new material to replace it) the engine is in very good shape as well as the tranny. What is everyones opinon about buying a car without seeing it in person? Thanks

I've always loved my 1.8s (all I ever had). I had stockers with a K&N filter, bursch exhaust, SSIs, and pertronix ignition, and they always seem to run really nice. otherwise the FI was untouched.

I always had rough running 1.8s to start. I just made sure the hoses were new, the injectors were cleaned, and the CHT was in spec. One 1.8 had a gunked up throttle position sensor and another had a leaking cold start valve. I cleaned the TPS and replaced th cold start valve and all was well.

my 1.8 got a 1.7 d-jet transplant, i then took out all the un-needed, like the decel-valve etc., and it runs really strong.
i even disconnected the AAR, still runs fine, even when cold.
just hooked up the oil-temp sending unit and i haven't gotten more than 130 in oil-temps ...

i'm happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I live in Maine and recently bought a car in Oregon. However, I did have a pre-purchase inspection on the car, which it passed. Based on the PPI, a lot of pictures and the opinions of many from this board, I basically bought it sight unseen and then flew out and drove it home. But I wouldn't have done it without the PPI.

Joan, that was one of the few cars that you could buy sight unseen.

How do you like that color now??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Was there any differences as far as the bodies, suspension, etc. between the different engines. was a 1.8 suspension different than a 2.0L? Did sway bars come stock on any models any years?

LE (74) cars have the good stuff package.. sway bars.

2.0s have alloys

The limos came with rear side curtains in Pasha, and a decanter designed by Harry Winston.

In 73 the 2.0 cars came fully optioned. (including bars? I dunno on that) In 74 everything was a la carte.

Actually, a high percentage of 73 2.0s get the sport stuff, but NOT all.

There are a ton of cars out there without sways, and without consoles, most all have fogs.

Be on your toes.

The main thing is that 1.8s have a side shift tranny just as 2.0s.!

The so called "appearance group" package was very popular and included chrome bumpers, vinyl targa bars, console, dual horns, and fog lights. You could order it irrespective of 1.8 or 2.0 engine. Most 914s have this package and that explains "the luxury"!

Sway bars, light metal alloys, and coloured glass were separate options, also irrespective of 1.8 or 2.0 engine.

Right sided mirrors were never an option and had to be installed by the dealer if desired.

Actually, there is a part number for the right side mirror, complete with -objects in mirror probably not a porsche- thingy.
