1.7 vs 2.0

Hey Guys,

IS there any reason why a 1.7 (TIV) would be better as a 2.0 (TIV) ?

I heard that the heads on 2.0 aren't that great ?

Or should I just go with 'there is no replacement for displacement' ?

Rob.

Bus 2.0 heads arent that great.

914 1.7 Heads are definitely better then 2.0 Bus heads.

But 914 2.0 are power makers.


A good running 1.7 914 motor will make more HP then a good running 2.0 Bus motor.


A 2.0 914 motor makes the most HP of all stock T4's
