carb sizing for a 914 2.0l

[zen]

what carb size do you guys recommend for a stock 2.0l 914 (GA) engine? here is one catch though, i would ideally like to be able to use the same set when i go to a 2270. not sure if that is realistic, but is desired. thoughts on both?

Sandeep is doing the same and he is using 44IDFs.

that is what i was thinking. i got a deal on a pair of dell 45's that are supposedly choked down, but have been warned that they could be difficult to tune. i might have a chance to get a set of dell 36's, but wasn't sure if that is too far the other direction. not sure if they aren't too small for a 2270.

I would think those dell 36s are way too small for the 2270,
those are more suited for 1.6 - 1.8 I believe.

Zen,

I'm going with the 44 IDF's like Alex said.

I'll be installing them this week. Just need to install the longblock in the next couple of evenings.... need an extra set of hands to get the engine down from my workbench...

well if i can find a set of dell 40's then that will be the equivalent. i may be ordering my FAT shroud next week. we'll see.

looking forward to your tech article. especially looking for the step by step tips on the install (i.e. install long block into car then add carbs and shroud, or what). love it when other can save me time and headaches :doh: .

Alex and I went to a Porsche tuner in Oakville on Saturday....nice shop, saw their dyno setup...

I'll be taking my car there for 'Tuning' when its on the road to get the 44 IDF's set up.
