Maybe it's just me, but I find diagnosing and fixing fuel injection harder than working with carbs. It's just a personal affliction, really :) There are other people who have derived a schematic from the boards in the box. It's just too much work for me. > > The only thing I see that will adversly affect things in a hopped up engine > is the Vacuum you mentioned.

I don't know whether there are differences in the size of the rion slug between different implimentations, for example.

With cams with larger amounts of overlap, the vacuum dies at idle, so the fuel injection thinks that the engine is at WOT, makes the mixture much richer, which kills the motor. That's just one example of the problems facing someone wanting to hop up a D Jet system. I'm not saying they can't be overcome, I'm just saying it isn't easy. > A 2L 914 Stock D-jet may also be very close to what a hopped up 1776 may need > with just some tayloring with the fine adjustments. You could just get a 2.0litre 914 engine and fuel injection and stick it into whatever car you're working with, also. A 1776 would probably work good with the early 1.7litre 914 engine fuel injection parts. **************************************************************************** Dirk Wright wright@pioneer.uspto.gov 1971 BMW 2002 "I speak for myself and not my employer." 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 "A real hifi glows in the dark and has horns." 1965 Goodman House ****************************************************************************
