Hi,regarding the gasser, the 1.8 ltr. mk1 gti engine dx, could rev stock above 7000 rpm,my dx rev all up to 7500 rpm, but i think to remeber that stock redline was 7200 rpm.Here is a video of my aaz (in a golf mkII) wringed all out to max rev. I have to say that the rev counter could be nothighly accurate, but by looking at the speedo it fits good. Its a CTN (02a) engine and 205/50/15 tires. It has a K14charger and a 7mm chimed governor.I hit ~50 km/h in first and ~90 km/h in second, with is both between 5400 rpm and 5500 rpm.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KA3SsWCBtE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=ULBest Regards
Hi,the dx is the (famous) 1.8 ltr. golf gti (mk1) engine with 82 kW (112hp).Here can you find nearly all Golf engines with basis data:http://www.doppel-wobber.de/wbb2/Information_79_VW-Golf-Motoren.htmlGreets
Sounds like a great engine for the mk1 though

it sounded like 6400-6500 to me but the quality is not good if its thats high that would be really really interesting and if we could make power even in the high 5k's power capability would jump considerably
He said 64-6500. Also gotta remember this is a "superpump" But Giles did it right there on video.. so it is possible.
Ahh good point Trev, very good point. Just because the pump is capable of pushing fuel to 6500 doesn't mean the engine is capable of burning fuel at 6500.. I wonder if a slightly lighter more volatile fuel would make a difference? With lubricity taken in to account as well.
