Back 15 years ago I had a 914-6 that I hopped up. I used Elgin custom grind cams and 2.7RSR piston \cyl set and I machined the heads myself for the second set of plugs. They were 2.0 heads! I made a jig for my mill and made some custom tool bits and the job turned out great. For the distributor I used a Maserati distributor cap and rotor and machined an adapter that pressed over the outside of my distributer to mount the cap (machined the O.D. of the distributor first) The distributor had points so it was quite easy to trip another CDI unit for the other set of plugs by just attaching the other CDI to the points. Actually it was all quite easy. One thing I remember was that the performance increase was shocking and rates as one of the most fun and rewarding projects I have ever done. I got out of Porsches for 14 years but I would love to do this to my 84.
