highest HP on vw idi achieved so far?

REvs aint no big thang lol

[hillfolk'r]

The way sooty is right now with the short tires I rev like 4000 at about 60 mph.
I did a 250 mile trip, that does get a little old. The loud muffler doesn't help either.
Here's my buddy drivin it, lol he's doin maybe 75 or so, he said he was revvin 42-4400 steady.

Damn, 4300?

That is intense. They're built for it, clearly. Still cool though.

R/t doesn't matter As far as how fast a car is,you can sit there for an hour then launch.
I'll have to grab the book on it again and see because iirc it had a full drag mode and has a tree.
Yea the gov mod is on the list of 1000 things to do. I'm not nervous about doing it now it's been figured out.
It's definitely a performance advantage to run a close ratio on an na I believe if you can tolerate the revs.

Ive always liked WIDE ratio trannies on all my cars..

or a close ratio w/ 3.67 final drive..

my GTI w/ AUG, and VNT15 TD engine was quick as hell, but turned 3 grand going 60mph..

Boy, she was REALLY SINGIN at 75mph…

GOV MOD IS A MUST-DO mod on ANY VW DIESEL...

[hillfolk'r]

Yea if ya have a turbo a wide ratio is fine, if it's na, it'll be a pig.
Of course the hiway sucks with a close ratio, but I pick up about 8 mph with normal size tires at the same cruise rpm. Only thing I could think that would be killer is that add on 6 speed for an na. But then,why? Too much money for that unless ya win the lottery.

I', pretty happy with my 5 ratios, but I sure would not mind having one more gear on each end.

This thread is about high hp IDIs, enough with the off topic!!!

Hi,

in my experiency is all about the overall-powerband, which includes the gearbox and the tires. My AAZ Golf 2 MK II has actual 190 hp and still struggle to make better 1/8 or 1/4 time than in the time it has had 165 hp with a K14 turbo and instand boost.. . .

Sorry for chiming in late here and hopefully not too off-topic but, how do you make 190 HP with a K14? I am running one now and have been told it's good for about 120 max HP. You must have much larger valves and a seriously ported head. Not doubting you, I really want to know. Does your K14 have modded impellers?

I'm sure that I'm nowhere near the "Highest HP achieved", but just to put a mark on the board, my 1.5L IDI has made 167 HP, using a Dieselmeken pump, GT2056 turbo, and an AAZ cylinder head.

he was making 165 not 190hp.
eeven 165 is high for k14,atleast for a vw unit.

jetmug,you can get higher than that but is very good to have a 1.5 making good hp

[Alleslowbuged]

Hi,

the 190 hp, was make with a S2A turbo and a lot more mods, not with the K14.

Best Regards
