Has anyone here built a 914 Type 4 using the LN Engineering 2563-190 kit?

I have a 2.6
Carbs were required at the time I built it over 10 years ago, but I’m going to move over to ITB with some aftermarket EFI system. The more recent EFI kits seem to better tested nowadays.

For a kit, jake makes sure everything fits..harder todo now because many parts are lower quality.

For power, my 2.6 got just over 200HP on a dyno.
It is not streetable (think 5-6500 rpm’s) so I’m going to pull it back apart now that I no longer race, and put a milder camshaft in place. It will make somewhere between 150-175 hp

Is it worth it? Well for me it was a challenge to get 200 hp from a type 4 motor.
