HISTORY
1969 ushered in several dramatic changes to the A-series 911 including the first major change to the chassis. To better balance weight and increase handling, Porsche decided to lengthen the wheel base by moving the rear wheel back 57mm. The 2.0 liter engine was redesigned to now utilize a magnesium block (rather than aluminum) mated to the familiar 901 transmission. The T (Touring) were equipped with weber carburetors and produced 110 horsepower. The E (Einspritzung, German for “in-spray”) and S (Super or Sport) models were equipped with the new Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI), allowing the 911S to now be compliant with North American emissions standards.
In 1970, Porsche decided to change the displacement on all models from the traditional 2.0 liter to a 2.2 liter coupled to the familiar 901 gearbox. The 911 E and S models remained equipped with the Bosch MFI system. The 911T came with Zenith carburetors rather than the beloved Webers and were capable of putting out 125 horsepower.
In 1972, Porsche changed the engine displacement yet again and placed a 2.4 liter engine in their 911T, E and S models due to the North America emissions. Emissions requirements demanded a lower compression ratio, so Porsche decided that by raising the displacement they could make up for the lost power due to the lowered compression. These models still utilized a magnesium engine block, however all of the models (including the T) were now equipped with the favored Bosch mechanical fuel injection system. Porsche had also designed a newer and stronger transmission for these models, abandoning the dog-legged 901 for the 908-inspired 915 gearbox.
Half way through 1973, Porsche decided to incorporate the new K-jetronic fuel injection system (also known as Continuous Fuel Injection or CIS) in the 911 T models. This new system drastically improved the reliability of the 911 while providing significant gains in fuel economy. The system was so efficient that Porsche continued to utilize it for the next 10 years (up until the release of the Carrera in 1984), contributing to what many consider to be the most reliable air-cooled 911’s made. Often referred to as the “1973.5 911T”, these models were capable of getting up to 30 mpg and are quite desirable due to their iconic longhand 911 body style coupled with the reliability and drivability of the later G-body cars.
