115.

Although now, probably 100 or so.

I think that makes power to weight about .000000065hp.  :smiley:

It goes better than the bhp figure suggests though.

Is that including the VW's weight reduction RUST system that came standard on MK3's?
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.

The 16v is more powerful and is the mk3 of choice, get over to the mk3 section of the forum and get some pictures up and don't listen to the haters, the 8v is a perfectly capable GTi and no more prone to rust than many other cars of this age.
