Bosche Mechanical FI on 914?
Okay - I am back being a seriously weird person here.
I am about to send that old 1.7 of mine off for a rebuild (top end only) and I have been putting a great deal of thought into how I should set up the fuel system.
1/ is to leave the old bosche FI on it - have it rebuilt and pray the wiring does not give me anymore problems (fat chance of that happening)
2/ Fit twin Dells to the car and watch the performance die, although the car will at least run fairly reliable.
or perhaps something which I have seen done on a few VW's in the past.
3/ Fitting a Bosche Mechanical Fuel Injection System (Golf/Rabbit GTI)
According to many of my sources this system should potentially increase the performance, better the fuel economy, and should in theory only take some minor modifications to fit.
Plus with it being an FI, you dont have the cam problems.
Then all I need is a Bosche 050, and electronic ignition and I have a completely reliable car.
The question is - anyone done this and are their any pitfalls?
