My 16v Underpowered ????

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if my valver seems underpowered for the specs , only thought about this after seeing a mk2 forsale on here with very simler specs running alot better power wise. Im happy with mine dont get me wrong but a little more would be nice :lol:

 

The mk2 in question

2.0 Audi 6A bottom end

KR head stage 3 ported and poished

Camshafts

50mm inlet manifold

Panel filter in Drilled air box

Miltek Exhaust manifold mated to full stainless straight through system

WUR mod and set up at stealth

 

185 BHP and 154 Ft Lb Torque.

 

mine

2.0 9a bottom end

KR Head stage 3 ported and polished

schrick cams

50mm inlet manifold

pipercross kjet induction

4 branch and custom stainless exhaust (precat)

WUR mod and set up at stealth

tt plugs and magnicor leads

 

171.2 BHP 145 ft lb

main diff is the 2.0 ltr 6a audi bottom end would that really make so much differance ? any ideas or info anyone ?

TBH the top one seems well over guess-timated, yours is about right, but the important thing is the power at the wheels, if you've got around 130-140bhp then I'd say it's fine as a standard car is about 110. You can't expect a lot more than 20-30bhp from a head and slightly higher lift cams.

Full plots would be useful, as would running the car on the same day on the same rollers against a car with similar wheels and tyres and the same tyre pressures.

The 6A is identical to the 9A BTW, only has a different code as it comes with a different sump and oil pickup pipe :)

How does it go on the road?, you need to take rolling road results with a hefty pinch of salt - just pub/forum boasting numbers really :)

Goes fantastic on the road , dont get me wrong im no street racer but we do like the power there when needed if you know what i meen lol on our read out for power at the wheels is 146 bhp so not far off your guess at all :)

will be getting a vernier cam pully soon too as my vw specialist recomended getting one cause of our cams as it might give a little more bhp or torque .

looking at going on the rollers again soon but at a diff place so my results will change again i bet :lol:

cheers for the info mate :salute:

Could the difference be that the management, i assume the corrado is KE jetronic where as the mk2 is likely to be running KJET
