Is there any difference in the 2.0 VW Van motor and the 2.0 914 motor?

I don't believe I can answer this well as others.. but I'll give it a shot.
While both engines are in fact Type IV's, there are plenty of differences. Some of the characteristics that the bus has that are disadvantageous: Low compression Different spark plug angle and chamber shape (the 2.0 Porsche is much better) Smaller Valves Different Cam Some of the 2.0L bus parts can be used on a 914 without reducing performance (the crank and rods come to mind), but as a general rule, I'd say it's a horrible idea to put a 2.0L bus engine in a 914. .. Ahh, I was confusing van with bus. As Brad said, on the vans the heads/pistons are completely different. |
