MK1 power hunt
g'day all,
I've decided to start looking at building a new engine for my mk 1. I'll prob use one of the block from the engines I have lying around, and start by getting it cleaned up/ground back etc.; so I have a good base to start with.
I'm hunting about 110-120 horseys, so the plan is;
- Bore the head to ~1.7/1.8 litres, I've heard it's a comon mod, but is it still safe?
- Extractors/downpipe with full 2 and a bit exhaust, but what muffler/hotdog?
- Cam. It's going to be my daily, so not too wild, but maybe a similar spec to a GTi cam, like a 265 or something? Sporty, but not wild.
- maybe flat top pistons if I can find some
- and a Carb. recommendations? I would like something that resembles fuel economy.
Is there anything else that I've forgotten about? any other easy power gains out there? Is 120 reasonable the afor mentioned setup?
cheers guys
