Does anyone know what the differences were in the European 914s? (Other than the turn lenses thank you very much.)
Just curious. - Joe 73 1.7 |

There were no differences with the 1.7 engines. Same compression, same fuel system (D-jet), same everything.
The European-spec 1.8s had much higher compression (8.6:1 vs. 7.3:1 or was it 7.6:1) and dual single-throat carbs versus the US version's L-jet EFI. The European 2.0s had 8.0:1 compression as opposed to 7.6:1 for the US version. Both used D-jet EFI. There were no differences in the suspension parts between US and European versions, just the adjustment of the front ride height to meet US bumper laws. There were other details. No charcoal cannister for Europe; no side marker lights; km/h speedometers, different F and R turn signal lenses.... --DD |
