At a guess, with a 1.8 with that kind of work, you'd be looking at more like 150-160hp well tuned if the induction system is up to it.
Oh, and i hope you are going to use a head stud kit to hold the head down nice and tight considering the comp. I'd recommend one anyway. They're not that expensive....

Yeah thats about right preeny. Probably go ARP stud set.
Beau the crazy Yank is in charge of building the engine. He has built a few in the states, so know the drill. Should be a screamer, plus will look stock under the hood![]()

Sorry, but I fail to see how this will be more reliable over a standard engine?
I figure it'll be a grumpy engine, I've never considered grumpy lumps as being reliable. Wouldn't there be issues with such high comp?
I'm sure beau knows what he's doing, but I can't see it atm...???
what am I missing?
It`ll be reliable because it will be a fully rebuilt engine, thus far superior to a much used golf engine.
It will be basically the same lump that came out as far as ancillaries and injection system are concerned, which helps it all go back together and work reliably.
If you are going 16v or 20VT for example there is a lot more work to be done on all aspects of the install, so more work and more time involved.
This should basically slot back in.
Beau is the best, I have total confidance in his work. If he says it will be fast, it will be. Jay Jay will doubtless let us know![]()

Looking forward to seeing & hearing this.
What is the expected power loon?
My mild one made 130+hp, so this should be well above this.
