I just rebuilt my 2L and stuck with the stock FI. Here is my take on things:

1. You can run the mild web cam for FI. It works great and you get a longer pull, up through 6K.

2. Lighten the flywheel. It should cost ~$100-150 from your machine shop and makes a big difference in the long run.

3. I got the Euro P&C's and they are fine. My engine was pumping up to 90psi when I rebuilt it, so I can't say how much better they are over US Stock.


Now here is the thing. I'd heard that you can get the FI to deal with 2.2 and even 2.4L conversions but did not want to risk it. Well 6mo later and after trouble shooting the FI completely in the interum I wish I had got to at least 2.2L! It's a relativally easy thing to calibrate the FI for larger displacements. The only thing you might have to modiy are the actual fuel injectors. The problem that you can run into is bad atomization of the gas at high fuel line pressures (like above 34psi which you would have to run) so you need to have the injectors ported to handle higher line pressures.
