2.0l vs 2.0l Whats the difference
 

Ok what is the difference between a bus 2.0l and a Porsche 2.0l??
Also what is the largest relible size I can go to if I rebuild the Bus 2.0?

Should find your answers here http://www.tunacan.net/t4/reference/case.htm .

good link, thanks

Thanks. Now I need to look at the numbers. What would be the largest I could build the bus motor??

3 liters plus. Bring money--cubic money.

You can build any displacement Type IV engine on any Type IV case. Some need a little more work for some applications (e.g., you have to block off the oil filler/dipstick hole in a Bus case to use it in a 914), but you can base your engine on just about any crankcase.

Going beyond ~74mm stroke requires quite a bit of work. Going beyond ~96mm bore can be done without a lot of work (and won't last), or with a lot of work (and will last a little bit) or a massive cash infusion for Nikasil-plated aluminum cylinders (and will probably last reasonably).

Re: 2.0l vs 2.0l Whats the difference
 

Short answer?

Heads, Flywheel, Sheet Metal, Pistons, Valves, Crank are all different.

Basically, the case is the same... Except the dipstick is in a different location..

Bus 2.0L's wil need a lot of work to make them large and reliable..

Jake Raby is the Shonuff' of the Type 4

Quick dicking around. You know that you want to go "six"...;)

Scott is pick up a 3.0 that he maybe selling.
I will be looking at it over the weekend .Its a fresh rebuild but its in peices but I will assemble it. Give him a call.

As soon as the GF discovers that I have more than 2 Porsches, I will probably be "influenced" into selling something...either that or buying her that damn "Wolf" stove...too bad she doesnt know how to cook..:eek:

Why dont you hook up with L. Jones and buy his neighbors '70 or 71 (?)...I think that the gent grew tired of the project and wants to unload. I guess the the motor is pieces (4 cyl)...I thought he said $1k. Put a six that one...

I'll check with them
Thanks Steve and Bob
