Well I have been staring at my 914 for a while, and contemplating options........
The reality has sunk in that I dont want another turbocharged car on standalone fuel injection. I saw the 2600$ price tag for the renegade hybrids LS1 kit. I am pretty much dead set on dumping a bone stock LS1 longblock into the car with an edelbrock carb manifold and a holley double pumper of some sort and the edelbrock/msd retro kit. I will convert to a high flow low pressure carb friendly pump and bam, I will never need more power. If I do, heads and cam will make an easy 450whp. Are there other options than the renegade hybrids kit? Who out there is using one? These questions are just a start, I am still wondering about chassis bracing and so forth as I don't feel like tearing my 914 apart after a few hundred miles of fun driving and autocross. |

Why would you put in an LS1, but then carb it? The cool part of the LS1 is that it is fuel injected with cheap and plentiful GM parts.

Zach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The GM EFI setup is very easy. You can use all stock components, ECU, sensors, etc... The car will always start on the first crank, give better fuel economy AND if you ever have a problem, just plug into the OBD port and the car tells you what is wrong. Fuel injection is easy! Even a TBI setup is better than a carb. Just keep to a mild cam if using a TBI or you will need to re curve the fuel map. |
