Porsche 914, 914/6 and 916 Engine Specification and Performance Numbers

The table below depicts the factory engine specification and power numbers for the various Porsche® 914, 914/6 and 916 models. Torque and horsepower numbers have been converted to U.S. measurement units using the currently accepted SAE Net standard from other measurement units (Metric HP and kilopond-meters) and standards (SAE Gross and/or DIN) used in the early Porsche 914 Driver's Manuals and other documentation. Briefly described, SAE Net measurements are taken at the flywheel with standard accessory load factored in the calculation.

Note that European specification 1973-1976 Porsche 914 2.0L cars were equipped with flat-headed pistons (as opposed to the dished US spec pistons) resulting in an 8.0 : 1 compression ratio and correspondingly higher power numbers.
