914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 1.7 into a 2.0

Posted by: warrenporsche Feb 6 2006, 04:45 PM

I took the engine out of my 72 1.7 yesterday to begin my restoraton project. If I want a 2.0 do I need different injectors to go with the 2.0 heads? what about pushrods? same length? can my d-jet run the 2.0 or am I gonna have to replace all that stuff with L-Jet ( insane $$ since the engine ran when I took it out)

Thanks for any pointers

I think you'll want the 2.0 brain, TPS, and TB, injectors should be fine though... 2.0 was still Djet...

Here is a link to a site that you can visit for many of your answers:

Basically it works like this- Either keep the 1.7 ltr. stock with F.I., or
upgrade to a completely different 2.0 ltr. set up. When it is all said
and done, you will be better off to purchase a complet unit that has
been running "recently". Just my $.02

Good luck!

Just changing the heads, pistons and cylinders does not make it a 2.0.

The crank and rods are different to increase the stroke.

I would suggest using the factory 2.0 injection setup on your engine.

If you want, I can show you a 2.0 setup. I have one in my attic.

I live in Hurst, but I am currently out of town. I will be home on the weekend.
