This thread has threaded and something happened (???).   I am not very 
knowledgeable about the T4 engine -- my Porsche just turned 1 in September. 
 If you're referring to my engine (see below) my T3 doesn't have FI, though 
I would *like* to put it on, and the block isn't from GB.  I can get 
information about the D-jetronic and L-jetronic FI systems if someone is 
having difficulties.  From my understanding of stock FI I would not 
recommend changing any of the mechanicals on the motor.  If you want a 
bigger engine with FI then get a stock 1.7L, 1.8L, or 2.0L T4.

I thought that he just replaced the T-3 motor from his car with a Gene
Berg longblock and slapped on the original FI equipt.

I don't know anything about the T-4 system or it's requirements. Can't
help you there.  Maybe Toby can?

Toby?
