Understand that the 912E's used the 914 4 banger for a couple years. Was there any difference from 914 spec versions ??

I believe it was rated at 85HP or 90HP DIN.
There were only 2099 of them built, all for the US market. It was regarded as a stop-gap between when the 914 ceased production and the 924 went on sale. I recall that #1 was bought a number of years back by a young guy who took it to his mechanic for some maintenance. The mechanic wrapped it around a tree on a test drive. ... Oops. The engine tins were different, the fuel injection was different (though I believe the manifold was the same), the distributor was different from the 914 ones (different curve), the exhaust was different, the motor mount setup was different. All of the internals of the motor were the same as the late (75-76) 2.0 914 motor. --DD |
