What's my Engine Code???

[VWindahouse]

Hi guys, I'm about to order one of these babies

http://www.newsouthperformance.com/vwgasket.htm

and was wondering what my engine code is? My registration papers say it is BJX****** but it's not listed

Is our Polo a small port head???

Thanks,

Anthony.

mate i though it was bjx but dont quote me on that please be really interested to see how this goes

Yeah I had one on my Toyota corolla sportivo (same 2ZZ engine as the Lotus Elise) which put out 141kw N/A stock with awesome results!

BJX is correct. Dont know about the ports sorry!

AGU and AEB engines have large ports, all the others are small.

wow dont think ive scene these before,dyno results look interesting.could you let us know how you go with it.?

[VWindahouse]

Yep no problem!

How the hell do you gain power by changing the exhaust gasket ? :|

[jasn78]

Kai, i think the theory is that gasket keeps the inlet manifold from getting hot therefore keep aircooler hence more power etc

[h100vw]

It's an inlet manifold gasket, isolating the manifold from the head and reducing the heat transfer into the inlet charge.

Have found information from the following website regarding the port size of the 1.8T engines http://www.torquecars.com/volkswagen/vag-1-8-turbo.php

It says the small port engines start with
ADR, AMB, AMU, APT, APU, ARG, ATC, ATW, AWP, BEA
whilst the large port engines start with
AEB, AGU, AFY

Some interesting reading for those who are interested.

I have spoken to the supplier and I will order one from him tomorrow, then get some before and after dyno results. He is also getting together some group buy prices for me as well over the next few days.

Will keep yal posted
