i forgot it was jan.25th lol jesus
i was trying to find out what generation rocco hooked on 240’s friends father has… :tong
same year as 1st gens but black
but WHY GOD WHY the 8 valve?!
Because it makes 200 and 200ft/lb at 6 psi
Wouldn’t the 16v make 240+ and 200ft/lb on equivalent boost though…and with a healthier powerband?
Close, but the cost of the 16 valve doesn’t outweigh it’s ease of maintenance, parts, reliability, ability to take a thrown t-belt and survive.
>*
ding ding ding. 2.0 crossflows are a dime a dozen, vs the 16v which are loot to maintain in comparison… that car is also very light so 200whp is plenty
I saw this car up at Synapse a few weeks back just poking around the shop…
I found my way into the back room and went " :wow VW!! :banana"
Nice change of pace, I was getting really bored looking at turbo Hondas all night.
Thats funny, Morgan’s had my paperweight there for like a year. Bullying all the japanese cars it sees. :crackup
I have to thank those guys big time
Updates Foo! No phone call means not running yet?
When i finish typing this i will be driving to the spot and starting this bitch tonight.
AHHH I just noticed wastegate dump tube out the fender FTMFW for sure! :thumb :drink with that setup on the street i would be purposely tracking down and blasting by open convertables at full boost just to scare the bejesus off the occupants :haha !!!
i’d have to agree, that was a must… very badass. ;D i will be venting out my bumper on my car when i go f.i. :tong
that’s the “full motec system exhaust” to go with the ECU… :wtf
Word
that thing looks like alot of fun!
It is…when it runs for more than ten minutes. :crackup
