[Volksee77]

Gents, these almost never ever come up and are rare as hell.

Genuine Golf 1600 F2 engine. These things rev out to 9000 and produce 190 hp....from a 1.6L

Someone on here must need something a little different in their golf/passat/seat/rocco

Someone buy this before i have to please

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Ed tells me they produced the hp and lasted 2 race meetings max then blew apart.Didn't like 9000 revs much.
Modern builds are more reliable using modern components.
Put it in a berg mk1.

Yes Stanton these of course are highly stressed race motors and won't last long if you like 9000 rpm but would be fine for a good track day car limited to 7000 and given lots of TLC. This thread was meant to be for someone who races not a street car option.

Problem with modern builds is they haven't been homologated so you can't show up to an FIA or CAMS sanctioned race meet with a 1.8t bolted in but if your building a hillclimber this engine would sound awesome
