2,2T, Is this a good choice Options

[DavidSweden]

I have the chance to buy a 2,2T motor.

Is this a good motor for a 914 6 conversion? Its not cheap so I want to be sure that its not wasted money. There is also a 2,4 available and its a bit cheaper. Advice required

I wholeheartedly agree with the others, base condition is king if you want to throw it in and go

Sounds like the 2.4 needs more work as it is less money? That said it also depends on what kind of work is required on both engines

Once you are into rebuild, the cost of cams, pistons, barrels, machining etc will all become a bit if a wash, especially if you are tactical and go for say JE Pistions rather than OEM

If both need work I would go for the 2.4 every day, better case, pistions squirters are def there as standard (can't recall if they were standard on the 2.2) and lots more option to go bigger, 2.7, 2.8 etc if you have deep pockets

I have a 2.4E waiting in the wings for the -6....ideal for European narrow twisty back roads

Pictures of both please
