>I wanna know what you've done to the motor. Ok... 2.0L 16V, ported intake, ported and polished throttle body, ported and polished head, 3 angle valve job, stock exhaust manifold mildly ported and polished, Techtonics SS dual racing downpipe (which eliminates the cat. no flames, we've already gone over this people...), custom bent 2.25" SS exhaust, thinner head gasket, shaved head (higher compression), high duty oil pump, new water pump with ported housing (flows more water), and removed A/C. That is all that's done right now. Before I put the motor into my 85 GTI, I will have a Garrett chip, fuel pressure regulator, K&N, either Kent or Schrick 260 deg cams, and an adjustable cam gear. Tranny-wise, I will have decided to use a 2Y box with a ring and pinion out of an FF box. (the ratio is between the 4K's ratio and the stock 16v ratio, but more towards the 4K ratio.) I will also have a Centerforce clutch. After I become less impressed with the power, I will probably trade in my cams for a higher degree, put a set of titanium valve retainers, and higher rate titanium valve springs.
I might have missed something, but I doubt it... Any other suggestions for power gains? I love to smoke those cocky rice rickets!
