I just bought my very first 914! It’s a 1975 and needs a lot of work. it runs well and has been converted from the original fuel injection to a single carburetor. I wanted to find out if it was a 1.8 or a 2.0 attached is a photo with the engine code GC002117. From my research I believe it’s a 2.0 but the original owner told me it was a 1.8. What are the differences between these two engines? is the engine code enough to identify which it is? How many four-cylinder 2.0‘s were made? Does it make the car more valuable if it has a 2.0?
Thank you for any and all responses you guys are the best! I will be posting and interacting with this community a lot more in the future!
Yes, It is a 1975 2.0 based upon the GC------. It is a USA/California engine with all of the smog equipment.
Welcome aboard and yes the GC designation is a 1975 2.0.
Post some pics when you are able and how is she running?
I would want to see the heads to make sure nothing strange is going on.
Good luck with your car. The single carb is a cheap fix when the original fuel injection is removed usually because of performance issues.
