How much power?
« on: 08 November 2009, 23:28 »
Hi there, recently bought a mk2 golf which started life as a 1.8 16v... however now has 2.0l 16v head from a mk3 and 2.0 16v 9a bottom end from a corrado. Also has k + n filter and magnex back box, different cams, although not sure which type. Any idea what kind of power figures i should be looking at?

Cheers :)

Can be anywhere from 150-170+ depending on cams and how well the fuelling has been set up (still k-jet i take it?).

Mate sorry to give a dick headish answer but the only way to know it to rolling road it, its just not somthing people can randomly guess. Just presume it has more than standard :smiley:

It doesn't have to be a "random guess", it can be a rough figure to expect based on what similar specs give on a rr.

On the r-tech website theres an ad for a rolling road day, £35 quid per car. Sounds cheap enough to me for a few runs
