ive heard 1.8 quicker than a 2.0 could be wrong tho

1.8 with a 2.0l bottom end, more tuneable management system, and slightly simpler so easy to home tune, and no cat or ever a need for one. Probly cheaper to buy from the off and possibly cheaper to insurance.

 

Pretty much 6 and two 3s at the end of the day tho mate. Each has somthing alitle differnt to offer,

I had a 2.0 16v in about 2002. My mate loved it so he bought an 1.8 as they were quite a bit cheaper at the time and he couldn't stretch to a 2.0. His was quicker than mine. Gutted :shock: Natually expected the 2.0 to be faster but not so due to CAT and other things they had to put on the 2.0. Id go for the 1.8 if I was in the market for a valver.

1.8 kr is more rev happy than the 2.0 9a because of the cams and the head.and a bit more powerful 145 bhp to 139 bhp i think.I loved my mk2 gti valver for this reason,i miss her :(

But im on the 2.0 side. Just get a KR or ABF cam in it and a DG remap and it will be quick 8)

 

After the RR day I will post up the graphs from before and after the cams and map.

 

Plus the 2.0 is newer so has all the newer interiour trim :D

1.8 16v kr engine - £300

Throttle body conversion kit -£600

Digifant 2 system -£40

Listening to that engine roar at full throttle,everyone turning heads and seeing that huge grin on your face- priceless

For anything else buy a 2.0 9a
