Porsche 2.0

What should one pay for a running 2.0 w/40K original miles?

3 stud head?

good compression?

good oil pressure?

W/original flat cooling? Rebuilt or amazingly low mileage? OEM Fuel Injection or aftermarket carbs? Real 2.0 (3 stud head is giveaway) or a 1.7/1.8 with just bigger pistons?

Suspect not much market over in HI. So would guess $1200-1600.

Bill - it takes alot of $ and work to put in a Speedster though. Raby upright cooling is $1k, carbs $600-1200, new flywheel $200, exhaust $1k.

A lot of work---but soooo satisfying!!

First 2 letters of the eng # tell the type designation
Then see the 914 sites for value,

Get it good and warmed up then do leakdown test.
Warped/cracked heads from overheating are common.

is this the only 914 on Kawai ??!! Prob neva seen 4th gear , what with dodgin chickens on the roads ...

I've got a 2.0 type 4 in my speedy and it's soooooooooooo worth it. Over here it costs a WHOLE lot less than the US to get to work in a speedster.

exhaust custom 4-2-1 - $75
Carbs - $150
upright cooling - $500
flywheel - $50

The torque is addictive...........more than anything else.

Gary - where is "over here"?

those are some really good prices

No no no, you mean over there, man dont get confused
Im guessing European mainland

Little south - Pretoria, South Africa

Wolfy is right, over here is South Africa. Over there is Mainland Europe.lol.

Labour over here is peanuts.....hence the prices that I pay (or don't pay) for custom built stuff......what we do however pay for is parts as we have to ship everything from the US.

But where can you get a custom built 2.0 porsche flat four 4 cam replica engine with standalone EFI and custom everything else for about $3500.00.

At a price like that you could ship them to the US and still be less expensive than an engine from RAT, CB Perf., or any of the other top builders. Hmmm...

"4 cam replica engine with standalone EFI and custom everything else for about $3500.00. "

these are the $90K engines right

Heck I'd be happy with a stock 2.0 with maybe some inners beefed up a schose.. It dosent need to be a race grade engine .I don't race.

Mango............nope.............custom type 4 with a 4 cam cooling fan set up and generator......all with EFI. But it's got 96mm domed ceramic coated pistons, PnP heads, custom exhaust, 38 and 40 valves a LOT of custom one off stuff. SHould go like stink.

38 and 40 valves?

are you sure on the sizes?

we'd (I'd) love to see some pictures!! :)

38 and 40 valves on a 96 bore type four sounds about right. I've got 40 and 44 valves on a 104 bore type four. My heads came from a 1700 cc bus engine yet (valves origlnally 34.5 and 39 I believe)!

But ceramic pistons coating and EFI - now I'm droolin'!

As Jake always sayz, "Ya gotta BREATH"!

Gary, looking at the 4 cam fan housing built by Ibrahim Kuzu on another site and it looks like a very expensive setup! You mentioned $3500 for a complete typelV with this style shroud, is it a fiberglass knock off? It can't be as detailed as Kuzu's 20 plus piece of art, no matter how low the cost of labour is. Do you have any photos of this setup? I have only seen the exhaust in your photos.

Bill,
Everyone is assuming you're speaking of a 2.0 Flat 4 engine but,, Porsche produced a 2.0 liter 6 cylinder engine. Which one are you referring to?????
