<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hello Charles, I am in a very similar position to you, I too will be building a 2ltr Turbocharged Type4. I am probably going (n.b. still in the planning stage) to go for the K-Jet system which is a Continuous Injection System that is very forgiving when it comes to performance engines. Steer clear of the D-Jet for your purpose, it's a good system on stock engine configurations (I've been running a stock engine with the D-Jet system for 12 yrs with minimum fuss) but for a performance application it's a turkey. The most I think you can do with a D-Jet is run a normally aspirated 1776 with a stock compression ratio (as I believe some people on this list do). I recommend you read the following book which gives a good grounding for the various different types of Bosch FI systems: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0837603005/qid=1015263096/sr=2-1/ref= sr_2_1/102-6278281-6753732 Also if you're Turbocharging VW aircooled engine, the Turbomania book by Bob Tomlinson is indispensable: http://www.vwbooks.fsnet.co.uk/catalogue/section_0_0_3.htm#VWB635 Also for Type4 engine related info check out the Type 4rum on Shop Talk Forums: http://shoptalkforums.com Let me know how you progress. cheers, Dan '73 Fastback ---- -----Original Message----- From: Charles Navarro [mailto:c-navarro@nwu.edu] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 12:14 AM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: [T3] Supercharging / Turbo-ing a d-jet Hey guys. I'm getting ready to build a 2L type 4 for my squareback and I have been planning on using a d-jet FI and I am not sure if I should turbo or supercharge it- I'm not sure how the d-jet would response. If anyone has tried to do this, your ideas and comments would be most greatly appreciated. Thanks!
