Mi16 in a mk1
« on: 11 October 2005, 13:38 »
Any thoughts on putting an Mi16 in a mk1? Besides the extreme difficulty of the wiring. Best 16valver out there.

what about the engine mounts? think the manifold and down pipe are to the rear in the pug, also what about the gear box? think you would need to do alot of work and get alot of one off parts made, then theres all the wiring, but hey, if you have got the time and know how plus the cash! why not! would get in a mag if it worked i would think!  :smiley:

The Mi16 engine is the best 16v - FACT!

It has the largest valves of all the 16 valvers and therefore can be tuned far more than any other - 300bhp is easily possible.
Just need a wedge of cash!!!!

just cos it got big valves dont make it the best spa.


give us proof.


Plus, if Mi16's was soooo good wouldnt people be fitting them in kit car and not red tops or z-tec's?


sorry i am an x-pug boy (once owning a Mi16x4) and i think the red top motor is far far better IMO
it has more power as std.
and you can get 240 bhp on iTB's ( u dont see my n/a vw's breaking 200bhp!)

mi16   good motor with alloy block so super light but its fcuking french. in touring car spec produced in excess of 300bhp
c20xe (red top) good tuneble motor for decent cash. got one in my hillclimb car and it produces 245bhp with not much cash spent. also 300bhp plus possible.
vw 16v the right engine to go in a mk1 but by far the least tuneable. never did touring cars!
