Hello all: I'm new to the 914 world and am hoping to add a 2.0 to our garage soon. I have seen references to a VIN page in the forums but can't find it on the site.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks |

NICE. Verifying the engine tin number on the Matsuda Bumblebee would be in @dr914 wheelhouse.

i'm inaccurate saying the 2.o has the fan casting drilled. that would only be the 1.7/1.8 euros that don't have that and J spec do. instead its the nipple on the left hand side tin for a 2.0. nevertheless the euro 2.0 does not have nipple on the tin. so the J spec 2.0 engine has to be a combo of USA tin and Euro higher compression internals (8:1) rather than USA internals (7.6:1) there are no J spec 74/75 1.8s. only 2.0s sold there those years. but there were J spec 73 1.7s. they seem to have slightly higher hp equal to euro spec. so likely the J spec 1.7s in 73 also had a dedicated stamp number for evap bleed off fan casting but euro internals or EFI set up tuning rather than USA spec. i got tantilisingly close to the number on the 75 euro 2.0 with a car for sale in germany. there have been a number of excellent condition 2.0s for sale in germany recently, we know the USA 75 2.0s take 924 and 925. and whatever the euro one is its either taking up 922 or 923 or a number sequence after 925. might stumble on the number one day. |
