Hello World,
Has anyone successfully been able to pair(dial in) a modified 914 L-jet system with a 2200 or 2258? I am looking into doing this for my street car and am aware that the AFM will need to be modified. I have a 52mm throttle body with a modified throttle actuator so the operating arm will work with the L-jet and will fit the stock plenum seal. Will I need bigger fuel injectors than my new 2.0 injectors? If so, which ones? What else do I need? I did a Google search using key words, but was not able to find any previous threads on this topic. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. |

IMO - why bother?!
L-jet is archaic. It uses NLA parts. No one can easily tune it. And you are restricted to a very mild cam which makes a big engine kind of a waste. Its not like you are preserving a stock engine. There are so many good modern fuel injection systems on the market in either kit form or fully DIY. Microsquirt if you want to go DIY. Or Holley Sniper if you want something a little more baked. Or Holley Terminator X (which I am currently running). I think you will be unhappy in the long run trying to get L-Jet to work with any 2.2-2.3 engine. Zach |
