Finally... she's finished.

And oh how i have missed driving her. My gasser winter beater left alot to be desired thats for sure... 1.9bottom end with a 1.6 head and some pump tweaks (among other mods) really makes me smile

Just wanted to whore her out a bit. Its been a long winter build it seems. (speaking of which, if anyones interested : http://www.dasdubbers.com/viewtopic.php?t=323 )

That`s a great color.

Why did you go with a 1.6 head on a 1.9?

How do you like it? What timing are you running?

A friends father built the motor, so as to why this combo, i'd have to ask. And i love it, pulls like a freight train, instant spool, gobs or torque, and still gets great mileage (it runs within a car length of my room mates 16v gtx, thats got 272 cams, euro 50mm intake and autotech power module).

Timing is about .95mm.

This car is awesome.  The engine does pull like train i've been in it.  Also sounds like a little cummins.

Hmm, are we sure it is not a 1.6  bottom with a 1.9 head?

I think putting a 1.6 head on a 1.9 bottom would pretty much take away any of the gains over just a normal 1.6td engine, such as reduced airflow, smaller ports and much higher compression. I have been wrong though lol.

Oh, i am very sure.



And as for taking away any gains over a normal 1.6td, well, i dont really see how larger displacement, more stroke, and more air pumping ability would reduce performance or negate any gains compared to a 1.6td (ive been wrong before as well, but this thing MOVES in comparison to my old modded 1.6), and yes i realize the 1.6 head does have smaller ports than a 1.9, so it is likely restricting some potential when compared to the 1.9 head. Buuuuut, i only paid $300 bucks for a fresh motor with only 20xxxkm's on it, with a stack or reciepts  . And by the seat of the pants, its quick. And has spanked some similarly modded 1.6td's in the area, so i happy  .
