2.2l 16v engine tuning

Ray, I'd certainly like to know how that car revs. My understanding is that the huge displacement motors want to shake apart at over 6k rpms. What is the torque delivery actually like? Do you anticipate the need for a Quaiffe, racing clutch, etc? How much hp/torque do you actually figure you have? Lastly, did you lighten the crank or rods and/or balance the whole motor?

This is hardcore! I love it!!!

All I have to say is that my new 16v 2.2L engine on my 1984 Jetta GLI rocks !!!!! I have never felt so much power on a small car like this before. I practically "fly" on second gear, and the power continues on out through out all gears, yet keep in mind that I am not really pushing it since I am still trying to break in the engine. Believe me it was an experience putting it all back together and figuring out all the wires for the conversion from an 8V to a 16V. Any of you out there doing a similar conversion can write to me and I can tell you all the pros and cons that go with the conversion and maybe answer all the questions that come with it! Believe me I think I know this car in and out!!! Later. Ray with the 1984 Jetta GLI 2.2 16V engine.

Newsflash:

The WarPig may actually have done it's last rally in my hands. It is entirely probable that I'm going to sell it off so that I can buy an underpowered yet much more refined Golf GTI 16v. This marks a substantial advancement towards the commercial sponsorship that my team needs to grow. I have driven the new car and it definitely rocks! It's stability and poise exceeds the Rabbit by a long shot. Still, though, I think I'll miss the raw connection to the road (when I'm not airborn) that WarPig gives me.

Oh well, the deal ain't signed yet. I keep yuz posted.

P.S. The latest round of modifications to the Rabbit include power steering with an electrical pump sourced from an old Subaru. I'm running this set up for two reasons: a) because it simplifies the belt arrangement and b) because the stock pump is down low and is easily damaged by rocks, etc.
