So whats the real story.What are the pro's and con's,I am working on a 1975 porsche 914 1.8L 4cyl. I am currentley using the stock fuel injection.I decided to start this project, by getting the car running back to stock.This car had been in storage since 1992.The gas tank was bone dry, and in perfect shape inside and out.I replaced all the fuel lines,filter,fuel pump.All the vacuum hoses,a bunch of gaskets and o-rings and stuff,chaged the oil,fiters etc,and did a complete tune up.
Now she runs ,and starts real nice.The car has very little rust at all anywhere,the motor runs very strong.This car has always been stored in a heated garage,and never driven in bad weather.My end goal is to have a car that is still street legal,but I can run at the track.So if I rebuild my motor and go from 76 h.p. to like 150 or 185hp can you still use the f.i. or do you need duel cabs at this point?I am not a mechanic, and this is my first 914.So please forgive me, if I ask any stupid questions.I am planning to run this engine for a while,she still has plenty of life left in her.I am just trying to figure out, what I want to do in the future.Jaymann |

The short answer is no.
To get 150+ HP from your 1.8, you need to do a full rebuild - and NOT a stock one. 150 is 2270cc land, or a hot and probably short lived 2056. You could bring a 1.8 there with a turbo, but you would still need to rebuild it with the turbo in mind. PM Racer Chris. he races a 1.8 - and wins. But his car is a dedicated race car, and he races within his class. our FI is limited unless you really know what you are doing. Modern FI like SDDS or MS is a better option. Or go to dual carbs with an engine that was made for dual carbs - a stock engine will make LESS power with duals. Zach |
