Title: anyone know their porsche 924's?
Post by: lewis1641 on 20 August 2011, 12:49
hi all.  trying to do a bit of research and wondered if anyone can help.

the 2.0 porsche 924 engine is the 4 cylinder audi lump, or certainly the bottom end anyway.  I have heard of people fitting the audi bottom end into the mk2 golf (or at least i think i have  :rolleyes: )

what i am trying to discover is 1, will the 924 engine fit the golf mk2 gearbox? and if not 2, will the 924 head fit a 2 litre vw bottom end?

Why?

why not?

the head is cross flow so a better design, plus they did a turbo version using Bosch K jetronic which gave 170bhp out the box.

fancy the idea of doing some period correct type modifying

if i can get the head to fit either a mk3 bottom end or a bored out mk2 then it could be a pretty cool conversion

If you want a crossflow 2.0 then fit the 2.0 crossflow out of a late SEAT of Passat 2.0.

Weird ideas, full of fail.

Ford used to sell S2 XR2's on basis that its 0/60 was quicker than a 2.0 924, and it was.
Shame they all fell apart in the wet like most fords of that era :grin:
My dads neighbour has one under wraps, offered it to me for 2.5.
looks very dated now but some peeps think they are cool, each to their own :wink:

I may be wrong but i'm sure that the standard 2.0 924 engine was an audi engine and the turbo was the audi block with a new porsche cylinder head.
