T3: RE: D-Jetronic FI

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

The Porsche 914 came in the following displacements: 1.7L, 1.8L, and
2.0L.  
The 1.7L and 2.0L were the D-jet system while the 1.8L used the L-Jet 
system.  All Porsche 914-4 vehicles (which is what we are concerned
with) 
used the VW Type IV engine while the Porsche 914-6 used a pure Porsche
911 
(six-cylinder) powerplant.

The Type III vehicles were only one displacement, 1.6L, and used the
D-jet 
system.  They also used a derivative of the Type I engine, the Type III
as 
we know it.

I'm guessing that most components will not be interchangeable because of

engine and displacement differences.  The FI system designation, *I 
believe*, is used for describing a certain "system" of metering fuel.  
Small changes will be made for displacement, metering equipment and 
metering equipment fittings for whatever vehicle it is to be used on
i.e. 
it's not a "one size fits all" system.

Anyone care to comment on my last paragraph?

After browsing an excellent book on Bosch F.I. last night, I 
discovered/remembered that my 914 is also equipped with D-Jetronic.

What I'm wondering is: which parts are cross-compatible? Could I
"borrow" 
the manifold pressure sensor from the Porsche to test the Fastback? What

about the Brain?

TIA,
