I still have the articles (a 2-parter) about fuel-injecting the B. If you'd
like I can copy & snail-mail to you. As I recollect, the author used a
throttle-body injection system from a Renault Fuego. It was an older
D-Jetronic or K-Jetronic (don't remember which) system. I don't recall
whether it used an O2 sensor. Seemed to be a fairly easy conversion, if you
understood the electronics. The author was using an oscilloscope to check
the injection pulse width, at which point my eyeballs started rotating in my
head. As far as I'm concerned, certain things are off-limits: electronics,
differentials and automatic transmissions!
