Been workin on the car, it's starting to shape up! Options

[toon1]

I have bounced back and forth from building the engine to getting stuff painted.

I am building a MASSIVE 1.7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and restoring the engine bay and most of the other areas of the back end. This car has very little rust so patching is minimal.

I'm hesitant to start a resto thead, there have been so many, but here are some pics.

Nice fun work Please doc, the injection system. Can it be tweeked?? What are the limits if any of this system????
Again nice work, Nothing I would every be able to pull off.

The inj. system is mega squirt so it's completely adjustable.

The reason for using different inj's. are two fold.

1st, to ue a newer inj. the stock 914's are old and most are not is good shape. They are also expensive new. I found these inj's for $10 a piece at pick and pull.

THESE INJ'S WILL NOT WORK WITH THE STOCK F.I. SYSTEM.

2nd: I wanted to run inj's that can put out a bit less cc/min at a higher F.P.. This does 2 things, it lengthens the pulse width of the inj. making idle quality better. the system is now going to be running at 43 p.s.i., great for fuel atomization.

I'm very impressed, keep up the good work!! Nice to see the injector setup working out, let me know what your fuel requirement number end up being. I might use the same injectors later on a 2.0, or maybe bump it up to ~24lb/hr injectors. Regardless, very very clean build! Keep us updated!

There are plenty of 24lb/hr inj's avail. If you are going to use a fuel rail setup, and have access to a mill, I would strongly suggest getting a 11 or 14mm( depends on the size of the Oring ontop) end mill.

You can get them for about $20. I looked into the step drill but it's too expensive. A mill gives you a much better finish in the bore.


The Req. fuel # came to 12.8

alt inj.
2 squirts

I set the F.P. last night and there are no leaks from the tops of the inj's. at the fuel rail.

The fittings leaked but they just needed to be tightened. I'm not sure if I trust the gauge, the adjustment screw on the press. reg is almost all the way in. I am running 43p.s.i. and the reg. only goes to 45 so it may be right.

I am hoping to fire it up this w/e. Since the 02 correction will not be involved right now, I will hook up the gauge and see what my AFR is. This will tell me if the F.P. is correct or close.

nice work dude.
