1.6 engine mods
« on: 08 August 2009, 13:56 »
Hi all,
I have recently bought a 1.6 driver after many years of mk3's and vr6's.I am planning to eventually get an engine change but cannot decide what road to go down.What i wanted to know is for the mean time is there anything i can do to the 1.6 just to make it a bit quicker.I have gone from a mk3 abf to this lol and my daily is a e34 530i so need just a bit more power.

any help would be great

GTI cam, 1.8 or 2.0 bottom end and a good full service  :wink:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
