8v Lovers.
« on: 10 January 2011, 21:09 »
What 8v's have you got and in what?

What have you had done?

What power and torque have you got out of them?

Some seem to be able to get a fair bit of power out of them and some dont make power from what has been done?

 :rolleyes: :cool:

I have a mk4 Golf 2.0 8v. I've had it a couple of weeks, done nothing and got nothing.

Does this post help?  :smiley:

I'm pretty sure this is the first 8v car I have owned. Not bad considering this is my 10th.

What mods have you seen others do?

much has been said on this here...
general feeling is not to spend money on the engine for relatively small gains.
people do conversion....
personally I decat d and put on a k+n
stopped there.
now conversion in mind!
so I might put my low mileage 8v lump up on here and then get sum proper gains  :evil:

The TDI's have lots of torque and can be remapped for more power, that would be my choice.

You can do a lot to a 8v but it is all down to how deep your pockets are at the end of the day.

Bought a mk3 8v just before Xmas. It's lowered has 17's and a pipercross induction kit. I need to service it and give it a damn good thrashing to blow the cobwebs out, the zorst needs replacing so may well bang on a stainless system off eBay but that will be it. Really want a mk 6 gttdi but probably not gonna happen lol
