and finally something i made, bored in my carport. ( it's a smiley face out of mk2 bits )

hopefully we will see one of them hanging out of your window when you do your first burnout! Intresting build!

it's missing a whole lot of room from the combustion chamber...

here are some pics of it sitting in the midst of tuning.

it's not actually that low. just that bloody lip which juts down like 10cm from the ground.

haha, sitting next to a 24v vr6 and a 20v cupra.





you'd pretty much think it's stock huh?


any way, it pings now, just need to sort out cam timing. so i have to control myself!!! when we were tuning it.... my tacho would come up at least 1000 rpm short.. dont wanna go any further until the cam gear is sorted. omg...

it still hauls ass and i dont rev past 3500...

The 16v block has oil squirters and a few other goodies that make it better than an 8v block. 16v pistons mean big compression. 8v head means it looks stock on the outside. It will never produce the HP of a 16v but it looks stock and will go pretty hard. Kind of a "best of both worlds" sorta thing.

Just you wait preeny.

It won't. Sure you can make your engine produce more than A STANDARD 16v, but when push comes to shove, on a completely performance level in modified form (Atmo VS Atmo or FI VS FI).. You'll lose.


But that's not really the point, is it?
