cant comment on hp numbers but I have a 1.6/1.9 rabbit pickup running 1.6 pump and injectors and an aaz k14 turbo.
Boost is around 17psi. Pump is stock with a light gov mod and a bit of general tuning, boost pin rotated, smoke screw all the way in. I regulate boost with my right foot because the wastegate is stuck shut... I need to do that and add an intercooler then this thing will really be scooting. Funny thing though, even with the fuel screw in until the idle just barely won't hang it still won't smoke.
It is around 10-11s 0-60mph, and will end a 0-60 pull with like 700f egts... It cruises 65mph with 600F egt/ 55mph at 575 egt.
It makes 50mpg on the dot in a rabbit pickup on the highway, somewhere around 38-45 with a ton of in town driving... that and I pretty much put my foot to the floor in every gear every time.
For those who have driven a diesel mk1, I passed a car on the dotted line section of a 2 lane highway without down shifting from 5th. hit about 75mph in less than 10s from 55mph cruising.
I got 740miles out of 13.75 gallons on a straight highway drive at 55-60 steady mph. Nearly 54mpg
makes great heat always within 3min of driving. seriously, I don't see how people have this setup and can't get it to start in the winter, it starts better than most straight 1.6s I've worked on, under no conditions do I ever rotate the engine even 1 full rotation before it starts. I don't even have to glow the plugs but 3s when it's cold. it starts just as well as if yoiu glow them for 10s. (fast glow). One time when it was right at 0f and the car had sat for 3-4 days I started it, it ran rough for 3-4 fires then stalled. Pulled out cold start cable and resterted and fired first hit of key and ran fine. That is the absolute EXTENT of the hard starting when cold hybrid "problem." Oh, and that was with no block heater.
I have a 2.25in straight down pipe for now.
All,
Just trying to get ballpark numbers for HP / TQ.
Man: You had Air Cooled Engines Port, polish your head among other things. What do you think your HP / TQ numbers are right now? Does he have a website or an email address? Hard to call from over here. I would like to ask him the cost of working on a 1.9 head. Close to what you had done but just a bit more.
Anyone who has done the 1.9head on a 1.6 block, what did it improve your numbers to?
Factory specs:
VW 1.6 Normally Aspirated diesel (CR, JK, ME): 52 HP and 71 ft lbs torque
VW 1.6 TurboDiesel (CY, MF): 68 HP and 98 ft lbs torque
Geo Tracker 1.6 Gas TBI: 80 HP and 94 ft lbs torque
As you can see, with the gasser in the Tracker right now I have 80HP, 94ft/lbs and I am putting in an ME block (52HP, 71ft/lbs) but I am installing a turbo and pump upgrades so at least I should get near 68HP, 98ft/lbs. Will putting the 1.9 head on allow it to put out 100HP+ an 125ft/lbs? That would be more than enough in my book. Anything above that isicing on the cake.bits in the bottom of the transmission case..

All,
I am on the fence on whether to get a $425 1.9 head with about $500 work of port, polish work or just keep my 1.6L head and do like Theman53 and get Air Cooled to open mine up with larger valves (37 / 33), port and polish. Must think about this for a little while. I like the frankenmotor idea.
Bob
All,
What are the numbers (lift / dur) between Dr Diesel, Giles an Colt? Prices for each? What are the specs and anyone have improvement numbers?
Bob
It just seems from factory specs, that it would be hard given fuel mods, port / polish and a few other thing to DOUBLE the factory power output and be capable of shredding the tranny. From the stock NA I would have to gain +60HP and +52ft/lbs to come close to tranny issues.....and that would mean that I would have DOUBLED the factory HP rating and increased TQ by 66%! Just hard to believe, that is all.
