Hey guys, I'm a new 914 owner and have been a 914 "wanter" for some time. I bought a car that I knew needed engine work but it had a great body!
So now I am looking at the engine work and I am thinking up upgrading my EV case 1.8L engine to a 2.0. I've never worked on a air cooled motor before and from what I gather this conversion is pretty straight forward. However, having said that I'm not convinced that it's as easy as just buying larger pistons and cylinders. Can someone please spell out for me all the parts that are different from a 1.8 to a 2.0L engine if there isn't too much? I'd really appreciate it! I did search the forum and didn't find any topic covering this. -JR- |

QUOTE(qa1142 @ Dec 5 2004, 10:32 AM) Not true. 1.8L is 93mm bore and 2.0L is 94mm bore. Just fyi, I just went and bought a 2.0 to change mine. With the gain of HP due to the 2.0L 3 stud heads is the main reason to do the swap. 1mm is close enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) they still won't work......maybe it's the OD of the cylinders that is the same (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) a "true" 2.0 is nice due to the extra torque the longer stroke gives you and the few extra HP the 2.0 heads give you (8 to 10 hp or something like that) I have a 1911 with 2.0 heads, nice motor, but it's coming apart so that I can sell the heads with the rest of the correct 2.0 block...easier to sell a complete engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
