Pushing ponies

whats the most amount of ponies you could get  out of a mk 2  1.8 16valve kjet engine  and how would you  go about it?  Just a mate reckons that you can  get more ponies from an  eight valve.  cheers mark

call your mate a dick and then explain to him the concept of 8v vs 16v.

Just don't start a topic on here about it.

the 16v will walk the floor with a 8 valve any day of the week in any degree of tune. With the right parts lightened and balanced and the air floor maximised you can squeeze 200bhp from a 16v lump. you might have to go up to 2 litre though. you'll be maxing out about 160-170bhp with the 8 valve lump.

and yes, please don't start a 16v vs 8v arguement. We all know the 16v is far superior.
