I was flipping through some old magazine articles that i have and was looking at a photo that i have looked at a hundred times. When it struck me that they chopped up the CIS system to fit in the #13 916. The article is fro the 1987 July/August VW& Porsche magazine page 49. The article claims that they replaced the original six with a 3.0 SC motor. My scanner is not working at this time so I can't post a picture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Does any one else have the picture they can post? I am in the process of putting a 2.7 with CIS and wondering if what they did looks as crazy as I think. or maybe it is a simple way of getting it all to fit?
In the picture it looks like they cut the air boot in half moved the sensor plate and fuel distributor turning it clockwise and connected the two with a metal box??? Leaving the latch in place I will try and get the photo scanned to post. |

By "leak" I assume you mean water? If so, that's the least of the issues. I don't know of anyway to use the CIS and install the rain tray. The boot (whether you use the orginal Porsche or the Audi version) sticks up too high. So you're going to get an engine bay full of rainwater if you don't drive fast enough! I've actually driven mine in the rain and it stays fairly dry in the engine bay as long as you keep moving. It would suck to be stuck in city traffic.
I'm not sure what you mean by "make the hatch work with out the worries of paint damage." In regards to the screws in the vacuum lines; since that pic was taken I have replaced those with the vinyl vacuum caps available at your local auto parts store. |
