[T3] Is a 1776cc practical in a squareback w/FI?


I have several engines running in Type IIIs that are 1776 and Fuel Injected. 
They all run great.... more hill pulling power and quicker too. I would 
recommend this size if you keep EVERYTHING else stock. Heads need to be 
stock, cam needs to be stock, aircleaner needs to stay stock, nothing else 
can be tampered with.  The only thing you will need to do is adjust the fuel 
pressure regulator to 31 to 32 pounds psi. You need to also make sure all 4 
injectors are squirting properly (Just ask Leon...:+). 

The one thing about D-Jetronics FI is it is both crude and flexible at the 
same time. It was the first mass produced FI out there on VW, Jags, MB, 
Volvo, and such.  The one variable that one can play with is the FUEL 
pressure. When the pressure goes up... more gas is squirted into the 
cylinder. When the pressure goes down, less gas is squirted into the 
cylinder. This is like the garden hose approach. Higher pressure squirts 
across the yard... and less pressure causes it to spray less far. 

I am assembling a 2.0liter right now that is stock except for a 78.4mm Volks 
Strocker III crank and 90.5mm cylinders. I am using 914 Porsche 2.0liter 
injectors since they are also D-Jetronics.  The pistons will be pulling more 
of an air mass through the air manifolds but since it is still stock in all 
other ways it should compensate.
