Oooohhhh, you mean Bosch K-jetronic FI--also known as CIS (Continuous Injection System). Rats, I thought you meant *real* MFI, as used in 69-73 911s and BMW 2002 tii's. I've seen that on one 914-4, but it was a REAL WILD race car.

Anyway, the CIS system is a pretty reasonable system. It won't tolerate a lumpy cam any better than the D-jet will (that's what the 911 guys say, the watercooled VW guys say otherwise), but the stock cam won't be a problem. It *should* be pretty reliable once you get it set up correctly.

Someone has done this. That person might even sell a kit for it. I am very sorry to say that I don't remember who it was. I read about it on the Porschelist (now Rennlist) 914 list, so you can try searching their archives for "CIS". That will get you pointed to a website for someone who put CIS on a Type IV in his dune-buggy. Dyno sheets and all--he seemed to like it a LOT more than carbs.

Oh, one thing. Remember that in some areas, the CIS will fail smog because it isn't what originally came on the vehicle. Even if it runs cleaner. (Yet more proof that smog laws aren't about pollution, just about money and power...) Happily, if you're in CA, cars from 73 and before don't have to pass the inspection--and that includes all the original 1.7s.

Good luck on your search!
