Hello Guy,
I have a question about Kugelfischer fuel injection, for which I like your opinion. Do you believe one can fit a BMW 2002 tii Kugelfischer injection system succesfully to a 1.8 liter 8V 124 engine? or better a 2L 131 engine with late16V head? or can it be made to fit? I am especially worried about the engine specific control cam in the fuel pump. Is it still available for such 131 16V engine?

kind regards
Peter, Netherlands

Guys
Keep in mind that the pumps of 124 and 131 are different.
I do have the original 124 Kugelfischer pump which is labeled VIPL154/1/2 146
instead if PL04 000.5. 928 of 131. I guess that the VIPL type is for more revvy
engines
