Porsche 914 Horsepower & Torque:
1975 - 1976 2.0 Liter "GC" Engine Code
Another Response to Environmental Concerns
The graph below is a composite of the horsepower and torque
curves for 1975-1976 Porsche 914 vehicles with the
2.0 liter four-cylinder "GC" coded engines. The "GC" engines are
the result of stricter California emission standards applied to the
2.0L "GA"
coded engines (similar to the evolution of the 1.7L "EA" engine to the
1.8L "EC" engine). In an effort to reduce emissions, technologies such
as air injection were applied to the "GC" engines, which, of course,
hurt performance. Like the "EC" engines, the "GC" code is
inferior to its "GA" predecessor in horsepower, torque and
acceleration. Additional information
regarding the "GC" engines is located (not surprisingly) on the ENGINE
SPECIFICATIONS page.
