A 2110cc engine it is.(25%).I believed that with a little work,it would be
fine.
I did find a few discussions in Shoptalk where Ray Greenwood and others talk
about
the mods needed.They work--up to a point.. I think I exceeded that point.A
few other sources
were also read and used if they sounded reasonable.I even tried a few that
didn't
sound reasonable at all.After all is said and done,Djet won't work well with
a stroked
engine.It will work in the bottom of the rev range but unless you love to
tweak or
like finding porsche/volvo/vw parts and modding them to try to get it to
work ACROSS
the ENTIRE powerband,it was designed for a small range of engine sizes and
no others.

What's even more annoying,is that now I have a big box full of great FI
parts.
