Legend has it that Porsche had left overs from the 356 production....and the 912 was born!
Brilliant job. I'm from the UK and have a 1968 Right Hand Drive 912. Bought it when I was 25 and I'm now 60. Like you, I started out with the Solex carbs and moved to Twin 40 Weber's, second hand off of an Alfa Sud. No money at the time, so you did what you had to do. My car still runs the Dynamo and Regulator. The car is lowered and had been modified before I bought it, to fiberglass front wings, impact bumpers and rear wheel arch extensions. It runs 205 tires all round on early Fondmetal alloys. Love the car and would never sell it. I will take it to the grave and my daughter will drive it home from there.
The 4-cylinder engines were well-proven unlike the 6 cylinder when the 911 body style came out. Lots of people think that 4 cylinders is just right.
Excellent video!! Love the fog lights! Your car is cooler than a 911, but the missing Porsche chrome flat dish hubcaps make it look like a work of art without a frame, or maybe it has the frame but not the matting...? I'm trying to say something is missing, unless you were going for an unfinished look?
Loved the story and the journey! Your parts really made my bike stand out at the Quail. Now I’m excited that I might be able to buy this kit for my 912!
Why not indeed! Was just down in the garage getting my '01 Bonneville and took some time to admire my Cognito Moto custom top yoke and then I came up opened my laptop and here was this awesome film to watch. Keep up the awesome work! Love your style.
I love your car and your enthusiasm and love for it.
A friend of mine Fuel injected and turbocharged an old R90s, he did it decades ago. He probably is the best BMW motorcycle mechanic in Australia. Ray Peake.
An American company called Luftmeister used to make turbo kits for airheads, might be a good source of information for you. They no longer exist but worth looking into.
912 has much better balance. Should be fun. Put the Fuchs back on
Congrats - the 912 has been a dream car of mine for 50 years. This EFI kit appears to take the car to another level and make it even MORE appealing! I didn’t think that was possible.
A couple video critiques:
Us car nuts want to hear how crisply the new system responds, but the music gets in the way right from the beginning. Also - you never really gave us anything to chew on regarding performance or mpg improvements. Maybe a follow-up video?
in spite of my critiques it was an excellent watch - thanks!
I'll post some raw footage later today. Audio to record with automobiles. I need to test how to get good quality. When I'm backing out you can see the mic on the car but it came out super loud and windy.
@@CognitoMotoTV Yeah, I know getting a good natural sound is not easy. It’ll definitely need a robust mic cover (wind sock?), right?

@@CognitoMotoTV Sounds healthy! Is it any quicker or better mpg than nicely tuned carbs?
Beautifully executed. The 912/911 is such a sublime vehicle in its raw, air-cooled form.
This is so well done! Love the ability to keep it looking close to factory yet bring it up to more modern standards for drive ability!
hey bud
You nailed it - EFI eliminates those pain points carbs give you on a daily basis ! Wonderful engineering on your part - thank you for sharing ! You are also onto something for the 356 community 👍
EFI for an airhead!!! Yes! Awesome content as usual
wonderful car, my only bucket list machine, right color and everything!
your on point EFI for the win 100%
The fact they aren't run daily and we're stuck with modern fuel, EFI is a joy compared to the throttle pedal voodoo/prayers to get the cars started 6am on a cold day to head to a track day.
I've had 3 carb cars my RSR replica moved to EFI because needing to add +1hr for a winter morning start with more often than not a fireball setting off the neighbours car alarms at 4am to go to a track day was horrid. EFI was awesome turn key poof starts golden.
My 2nd carb car 911 3.0 rally car stayed on carbs, no hopping in for a drive. God help me if the weather was piss for a few weeks and it wasn't ran.
My 3rd car an 1965 911s 2.0 FIA rally car is keeping its solex's but the whole engine and trans is going to be boxed/stored and swapped for a 2.4 efi until I want to go racing with it. When the guys looking after it suggested bit their hand off!
Your 912's a beautiful car. I like that the Haltech injection has eliminated the bad points without changing the character of the car.
How much would something like this cost?
That shape haunts my dreams. Magnificent, makes all other cars look quire pedestrian.
Weird question, but do you have a music playlist you can share? I’m loving the music in your videos.
Very nice work. And beautiful car.
Great video! EFI is the way of the future😁!
Anyone ever tell you that you look like Larry Mannetti from Magnum P.I.?
Beautiful car, love the color, all the right details on the build
Love the steel wheels!
These are actually Group 4 now. Aluminum version of the steelies.
can't wait to see if you can make for the Honda CB
My solex carbs on my 68 912 caught fire. Almost burned the garage down. I’ll revisit this upgrade once I get an another. I ended up buying a 911 t motor I think for it. Sold the damaged 912 motor to a vw mechanic. I don’t know what I was thinking. But hey as a 25 year old what do you expect. Great car you got! If you hear of another reach out. I sure miss the early 912
I was lucky to buy one of these a long time ago a red 67. I would have preferred a 911 for sure- but I had just left college and everything seemed expensive to me 😂 . Now I have a nice set of nickies ready for it. The EFI would be a sweet upgrade. Nice car man.
The car is gorgeous.
Lot of work and looks like it worked out. I solved most of my hot carb issues with phenolic spacers and shielding metal fuel lines. Beyond that you could pop the trunk at gas stops or even some mini efans. With Mopar you get a slow starter so a $30 pass through priming pump can help with quicker starts. A return fuel line to the tank can also help with vapor lock but with a dual carb that might not be fun.
Great video. Planning my 3.0 single throttle body conversion for this summer here in central NC. Love the work you did on the car and editing the video!
😁👍
Cool engineering for a classic motor! The car looks lovely (would love to have one, to go along with my 991) ❤
Must get better mpg too
*Promo SM* 😬
good job👍
Great EFI conversion and beautifully executed CNC work. Looking forward to the bike versions (I see the old BMWs in the workshop). Would love to replace the crappy, emission choked EFI on my 08 GSA with a custom version. Keep up the good work!
You are correct; roundie, but it came without an engine or transmission, and I've had it for about 5 years now. It requires quite a bit of work, and I'm uncertain about how to proceed or when I'll find the time to tackle it.
Great video,well made and very interesting content.Reminds me of my 69 912 which I bought in Calgary drove across to Montreal to ship back home to the UK(York).I now need to get it back on the road and would really be interested in doing the same EFI conversion - would you help me?
We can assist with that as we offer this kit on the site. cognitomoto.com/products/porsche-912-efi-kit?_pos=1&_sid=1c987803c&_ss=r
Well done and classy to have ready for the special wedding!!
Great car and nicely done modifications. Enjoy it.
Your storytelling is spot ON! Well done!
Very nice video, really interesting. I have a 356SC and have the same issues with the Solexes as you mentioned. With the EFI hot and cold starts are no longer an issue, how does the power, responsiveness and fuel economy compare to carburetors? Looks like you left the distributor body in place…is a blank-off plate an option to eliminate the old distributor?
Thanks for making this video.
This kit should work with your 356 as long as it is 12v. It is very responsive like any modern car. This is adjustable as well but there is a point where too responsive makes for jerky ride so I have it where it feels like a normal car. Anyone can get in my car and drive it without issue. I drive this daily to work currently 40 min drive without issue. Highway is roughly 34 mpg. Distributor can be blocked off. It wasn't leaking and looked funny so I left it.

Love the video! Looks like you are in Richmond? Where is your shop located?
We are 3 S Granby St right by Shindigz and social security office.
Nice work, well done.
Labor of love ❗️
Lovely motor, is the colour Polo red?
Polo red is correct
My 66 911 should be Polo, a reference car I saw looked too bright so I painted mine black 12 years ago! Yours looks darker somehow, maybe the camera or light?
I understand why you put music over that beetle engine 🙂
Terrific story. This car is like a member of the family.
wow do I want this for my '68 912. @CognitoMotoTV I don''t suppose you guys would do an installation as well?
We could be convinced. We do need to make an instructional video on installation.
@@CognitoMotoTV I would like to get more information on the upgrades - what kit did you use for the alternator and parts for the starter/distributor?
@@nunyabusiness4188 the alternator is Zimz and the starter is wosp
What wheels are those ?
They are from group 4
