16v....lets talk torque

[sportline_velly]

after killing my old motor at TSR (my fauilt, lack of oil? ?) i bought a std 1.8 passat lump off paulh(cgti) and taken the carbs off and im back on k-jet.

so here is the story...
1.8 16v k-jet (flowed head and inlet cam) -150bhp/120lb

1.8 16v on carbs (flowed head and inlet cam) - 168bhp/145lb?

std 1.8 16v on carbs - 140bhp/135lb

now im running,

std 1.8 16v on k-jet - 145bhp/135lb

but the car isnt reving as well, my peak power was @ 5700 and then 'sharply' dropped off.
Tommy seems to thing its down to zorst size as im running a 1 3/4 " system (for that std look)
I may look around for a cheap second hand system and see if that sorts it.
also i have a massive flat spot from 2.5-3.5K, tommy just couldnt get rid of that.

all in all im happy, esp with that torque.
wot are the rest of my fellow 1.8 16v's putting out???

and who said there is more torque in an 8v 














but i must admit an 8v does drive nice

Lets not start the 8v v 16v debate again

[sportline_velly]

no, i dont really want to go there lol


jus want to talk about 16v torque

128 lb of torque on my 8v clipper last time at the rollers

 you should know wat she puts out  (or used to, back in the day  ) and seen as i wasn't allowed to play last time on the rollers gaz has suggested a trip to find out before the 2L goes in so watch this space........

but tommy will do a power run for 15quid, goive me a shout when you pop down stace

How does a 16v lump mated to an 8v gearbox drive? Anyone got experience of both? That 16v torque curve looks like it must ne wicked matched to lower geared 8v box.
