the 9A is the short version, the ABF is the taller version.

So no clearance issues then. Excellent.

Whats the power outputs for the KR 1.8 16v, 9a and ABF 2l 16v Lumps ?

Doesnt really matter in a Mk1

KR = 139hp, ABF 150hp although torque is up quite a bit. T3 would be a nice blower to bring it to the boil :twisted:

16v in a mk1

The Passat 9a is perfect for a mk1 they are nicknamed a "bubble block"and are not as high as the Seat 16v.Did my first one back in 1999 and its still going strong.
They are also rated at 139 hp but with free flow intake and exhaust its not hard to hit the 150 mark especially if one uses the euro intake cam.
Try for a 9a or use a 8 valve 2.0 with a cam and good exhaust .There may be a difference on paper but not on the road, and its a sight easier.

NICE. Thats a badboy article.
Makes me hopeful about my 9a with kr cams in a Mk1. Should be good fun. I`m thinking I need wider tyres to keep the power down.

So the 9a is a 2.0 16v short block? I heard the only 2.0 16v sold in oz was the ABF in a seat. Anyway how hard (read expensive) is it to bore out kr 1.8 to 2.0?

9a was not sold in Oz. But you can bring em in!

I think you could use a 2L bottom end and use different pistons, or bore out the 1.8 and use expensive pistons. Either way, It`ll cost you.

Indeed. It's my guess there will be quite a few 16v turbos running around in the future :twisted:

Yeah man, I was looking at my 16v lump and the spare saab turbo in the garage and thinking.....

[GoLfMan]

to get the record straight under 20 16v 9a engines were sold in passats in 1991/2,so there are a few of theses babies about....there are more abf 16v seat engines available producing more hp.remember driving the new passat in 91 thinking the engine was **** hot until the first drive with a abf code 16v.....cheers steve
