No benefit that I can see unless you needed to be under 1600 for a race series or something.

It'd rev it's arse off though being so short stroke.

Prolly gutless low down like a 1600 GTI nowt up to 4000.

I wouldn't go to all the trouble.

Use the 1600 block and build all the 16V guts into it maybe and retain the capacity.

Ok, so swapping heads is out. Looking for more power elsewhere then. The car has had a cam grind, 10,000 bore and new pistons, intercooler, oil cooler, cold air induction, pod filter, supercharger (toyota 4AGZE charger i think), bigger injectors and fuel pump, only thing i can think of is putting bigger valves in it. Any one got any ideas?

[h100vw]

Dont know anything about the supercharger but if you can spin it faster you'll get more boost which is more power.

That will involve altering the fuelling and timing too.

I think that they use the Golf 2 1600 (not 100% sure)

Yep, I think you're right on that one. As far as I'm aware, the rules don't allow use of the later polo 1600 twin cam in a Golf 1 - perhaps because it's not a factory Golf engine... I'm not sure on that, though.

Here's some engine specs on one [my French translation isn't brilliant, sorry]:

1600 cc 16v SPIESS, 234 cv à 8700 rpm et 209Nm [Spiess is a German tuner]
Bloc moteur base 1600 cc avec une culasse de KR. [1600cc base with a KR cylinder head]
Moteur avec carters sec. [Dry engine/dry sump]
Injection papillon diamètre 48, avec une gestion Bosch. [48mm ITBs; Bosch Stand alone]
Boîte 6 vitesse VW motorsport. [VWMS 6spd 'box]
Suspension Complet à corps fileté de chez HOHENESTER. [Custom suspension, specific to bodyshell]
Frein av diamètre 280 mm , étrier AP Racing 4 pistons. [11" AP brakes]
Jantes BBS Rennsport en magnésium en 10x13. [Magnesium wheels]
poids 740 kg [Wet weight]

[Valver.]

And yep, that's over 230hp in an old-type NA 1600

Good for entering corners fast enough to do this :p

[GoLfMan]

hot diggity love that car!

[Water Boy]

Valver is that 230hp at the fly wheel or at the wheels???

In regards to the supercharged golf waht ECU are you running??? Putting something like MoTeC will help you in the go fast area...

As for bigger valves:
8v yes can be done, usually take Audi 5E valves(same as mk1 1.8L Gti) and valve seats and get a professional to put them in. Bigger valves again are available but cost goes up greatly. And would probably have to be sourced from Europe.

That's at the flywheel

[morgs]

You would think the brakes wouldn't clear the 13's?

[Valver.]

Well they must do The BBS motorsport wheels have a stack of brake clearance from what I've read. There's also someone on ClubGTI with 305mm Brembos under Compomotive MOs My 280s hardly fit under my current 15s

[jleahy_10]

What Audi cars have the 5E engines in them...or does anyone here have these valves sitting handy in there garage?

[Water Boy]

That's at the flywheel

So they have around 140hp at the wheels... wahoo that cooking...

Also do you know how much tourge and what they redline at....

Im hooked on these babies

That's actually around 200hp/150kW at the wheels

I'd guess around 210Nm of torque very high in the rev range. Most of the dyno vids of the Berg Cup 1600s show them revving to around 10,000rpm

thats just crazy from a little 1.6!!! how often do they have to rebuild them?
