In my apparently endless search for the right 914, I've come upon decent candidates which I then discover have been carburated. I've basically treated that as "nothing to see here, move along", but.... what if one finds what is otherwise almost the ideal match in condition, price, color, original parts, location, except for lacking stock fuel injection?
References usually say just that it's an expensive proposition to convert back to if you manage to acquire the necessary parts. How difficult and expensive is this? What all is involved? |

Also unless the cam is some redikalus grind which the stock engine does not need anyways you can convert back to fi w/no problems.
The Black car has stock d-jet w/a moderate bump on the cam and runs better w/more tq than before. I also did a ton of flow bench work on the heads and don't think the cam alone would show the hp and tq results w/out the head work. Jus my 2-cts. JT |
