Since it is manifold pressure based and manually adjustable, with some tweaks it should work ..... right??
My 914 is a 1973 1.7 ...... so I was thinking of going with 1911cc kit and tweaking the D-jet. So just a question to see if anyone had tried D-jet Individual Throttle Bodies or if anyone thinks it would work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Is 100 HP possible from a 1911cc with ported exhaust ports, stock D-jet and stock cam? |

its been done two vintage racers in my club run individual throttle bodies on their 1.7's with Djet. They use 4 throttle bodies from the 2.0 it can work at wide open throttle not good at idle or street driving you won't like it for daily use alot of work for minimal gain possible though b If anyone has any more experience, knowledge, encouragement or discouragement they would like to share ...... please post up ...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)!!! Yeah. Sorry. Didn't want to be all discouraging and shit. That's not cool (on my part). You could TOTALLY get this setup working with Megasquirt. Megasquirt is a fun and not horrendous project to get running; and it can be done on the cheap. If you were diligent you could convert an engine to run on it in a day. You can use nearly all of the D-jet parts too (same injectors, fuel pump, relay board, the MAT sensor can work too. Throttle body could work if you weren't going ITB. ..... as for 'nay sayers' ...... they are everywhere ...... and they usually talk like they have stake in the matter/project ............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I will try the D-Jet first ...... then try some other aftermarket programmable FI ...... like megasquirt as you suggested ......... thanks for the posts ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)!!! If you run a vacuum line to all four throttle bodies, then merge that into a small vacuum chamber...like a spherical vacuum system, it may work. You would need to vent the vacuum chamber somehow? not sure Rich |
