car. Yes, it has more torque, yes, it's feels great but unfortunately the injection for some reason or another does not do an adequate job of making the engine go up high... and the shift point changes from redline or beyond to about 5800. That is what I mean by 'dosent rev'. I've researched this. >> - Clay, I've owned a 2.0L CIS-E, and so has my brother, and two of my friends. All of our motors (each with a euro cam) pulled all the way to 6700rpms without a problem. We found that this setup has a small flat spot at 6300rpms, but that's it. Otherwise, they all pulled strong to redline. Since then, one of my friends put in Kent 258's, and it pulls even harder now. Our cars are (were) all '87-89 GTI 16V's, they came from the factory with CIS-E. CIS-E was added to your car, maybe something still isn't right with it. Although I would recommend using Motronic over CIS-E anyday, there is a certain amount of complexity in the swap, especially in the wiring, so it's not something anybody can do. I don't want to discourage anyone from putting a 2.0L in a CIS-E car. They can always upgrade to Motronic later.
