I have a 76 VW van and a 74 914, both with 2.0 Type 4 motors. I have been searching the internet, without much luck, trying to find out what modifications Porsche did to the internals of the VW Type 4 motor to bump horsepower from 67 to 95, and torque from 101 to 119. I see the heads are different. It also looks like they both used dished mahle pistons, with the Porsche having a 7.6 compression ratio, and the VW a 7.3 compression ratio. Anyone know what else was modified such as camshaft specs, crankshaft, etc. Thanks.
