The mathematics of the 8Vvs16V problem

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

jason how about this 8v (mine) I think my torque curve is quite broad, you
got 133ft'lbs, I got 118ft'lbs torque and in the same manner of the 16v it
instersecs the HP curve. stock JH head and 2L bottom end with only a g Grind
in it.

is this what you where looking for ? or perhaps I did not understand the
question.

=>Case in point, please see the following curve:
=>http://www.scirocco16v.org/dyno/16V.jpg
=>This is a dyno plot from one of our veteran list members.  It's a 2.0 16V
=>with a slightly P+P and shaved head; Schrick 260/276 cams, and an
=>exhaust.  That's a relatively stock motor in my book -- the entire bottom
=>end is completely stock.
=>
=>You'll see that not only does it peak out at 144whp and almost 133 lb-ft
of torque, but the torque curve itself is tremendously broad and
=>beefy:  This engine puts more than 120 lb-ft of torque to the wheels from
3000 until 6250rpm.  That is a simply awesome number from a 2-liter
engine... and
=>flies directly in the face of any complaints of the 16V being a dog down
low.   And further, this particular motor puts down about the same torque
=>at 2000rpm that the 1.8 16V does at its peak -- just under 100 to the
wheels -- which is, as we know, more torque than any VW 8V motor
=>(including the ABA) did from the factory.  So there's monumental high-rpm
power (VR6 territory) with low rev torque besting all other VW 4-cylinders.
=>You just can't do that in an 8V VW motor.
