wasser fuel injection

[1303R]

hey, been checking this site out for ages, when i got my bug i knew i didn't wanna do a cal looker so so glad i found this site with like minded people wanting a fast bug that could go round corners as well mines getting there but as a daily driver takes a while. ok i got a 2.1 dj wasserboxer going in my 1303 and wanna up the power as much as i can without a full rebuild, was thinking high ratio rockers exaulst air filter, was wondering bout the stock fuel injection can i use this and make power? its euro spec digijet '88ish
cheers guys love ya

ok so no ones got any ideas? guess i'll just have to find out the hard way, well ive modifided the plemum to fit a bigger throttle body, may help, stock one looks way small. air flow meter may be next restriction, seen bmw e30s use same type, may be bigger, definetly gonna fit high ratio rockers, not sure if 1.4s are gonna be better than 1.25s for the money? any input much apprecated. gonna be moving the engine/gearbox forward by reversing the mounting cradle and making my own front mount, simalar to mid mount, but may need a rear mount like was on vanagon. not huge power but engine must weigh more. also will hopefully end up turboing it but wanna sort out cooling and fuel system first. wish me luck.

Hi

I fitted one to 1302 a while ago, made good power, 1st with IDAs, then after martket EFI and later on a turbo. You can read about here http://www.clubvw.org.au/steve.htm

Thanks guys. Yeh steve read and re read about your 1302 a few times great car, but 1303 sti is gonna put that to shame, was thinking bout subaru power before but added up all bits i'd need and way over my budget, done a few engine swaps before but first in a bug so thought i'd try this first, gotta find a banger for a few months to swap all my bits over as as well as engine i have 944 brakes/ wheels, fibreglass wings and golf struts modded for coil overs all sat in garage. Should only take a couple of weekends. lol.
