Does anyone know what the JN 1.8 engine is like or if anyone has any past experience with this engine?

Cheers

My Cabby has a JH 1.8 on k-jet... Biggest downfall is the 7.0:1 compression ratio...

Not sure about the JN though...

Edit:

ID code- GX, JN, ACC 1.8-litre, 66 kilowatts (90 PS; 89 hp) — 1983–present Volkswagen Quantum, Volkswagen Fox, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta

ID code- JH, MZ 1.8-litre, 70 kilowatts (95 PS; 94 hp) — 1982–1989 Volkswagen Rabbit, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Scirocco

Not too sure on the differences to the JH, but it would be a step back for me... Unless it was a full EFI engine...

Well the reason I ask is I've got one in my mk1 with a solex progressive carby and it revs a little freely, like I mean off the tacho kinda freely

probably just tuned properly My old 1600 mk1 used to rev happily up until the valves started bouncing around 7800rpm

Well plans are to put my RV engine and box in eventually, I guess once the jn gives up the ghost
