Hello all - I'm brand new to this forum with my first post! I've got other Porsches but just purchased my first 914. I picked up a 1970 with a 1.8 motor with dual weber 40 IDF Carbs.
I've been researching motors and see that the 2270 is a very popular upgrade. I love everything I've read about it - thinking about the kit from the type 4 store. So what work would need to happen to the 1.8 in order to make this happen? Will the Weber 40s work for induction or will this build require 44s? Are there other tried and true builds that could be put together from known parts for less money? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to build a cost effective motor that will make the car go and last.... Love to hear opinions, Alex |

I'm hardly an expert but I believe it's all relative to what you want to do with the car- daily driver, track car, full restoration (probably not the latter since your looking to upgrade). The 2270 is extremely popular & the man who invented it is a regular on this forum & will have 99.9% of the answers you're looking for regarding it. I'm not sure but I think that dual 40mm Weber downdrafts are NLA & might be worth some coin on the used market. From what little experience I have on the subject, it seems the 40's are more for street use over the 44's. |
