Limited edition 16v engine??
« on: 07 March 2008, 16:48 »
Okies..just havin the usual ebay browse and came across this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-GTI-16V-BLUE-MK2-MK-2_W0QQitemZ290212052735QQihZ019QQcategoryZ9873QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

In the desctiption it says it has a limited edition 16v engine? was there at any point a special engine used or is he talking rubbish?

My thoughts is he is playin on the fact that their are less 16v's than 8v's?

cheers :)

Its bull - I think he means its got the "rarer than the 8v" 16v engine.

The only "limited edition" 16v I know of had a yummy G-Lader bolted to it!!

Maybe he's refering to the 'race tuning'

16v G60 engine would be considered rare, there are some GTI Engineering ones too however hes put that it has a Cat and its tuned...

But I think youre right, I think he's playing on the fact that valvers are rarer that 8v's but theres no harm in asking!

Whats with the caravans?

Hahaha.

As in its been rolling roaded to 2% CO2 and 6 deg BTDC.

Without mods (and he lists none) "race tuned" in this case means "is running as it should".

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
