I finally got my GTI checked out by a VW tech friend of mine yesterday. I have an annoying highway speed vibration that after numerous rebalancings I could not...

If there are any Digifant-1 experts out there (and I know there are a couple), I could use some help. I tried to start the '77 G60 today but got nothing. What...

did a 10:1 ever come in an 8v scirocco? I'm planning on doing a swap, and want to do a legal update in my 77 rocco. __________________________________ PRAY FOR...

Not that we could prove - and we tried. JH/8.4:1 is the best (legal) 8v. Sorry:(. Iain (could be wrong, but I'll be irritated if I am!)...
Thanks to those who have replied so quickly, but...NEVERMIND! :P It's all about cam timing. I don't know what made me decide to check it, but I pulled my...
No kidding! To all of you on Scirocco.org, the VW-AutoX list, and the Vortex G60 forum who have listened to me whine and answered all my questions since April ...
Thanks everyone for the replies! Facts I'm considering in building this project: *the car will be used at autox, hillclimb and track days, but will be driven...

What do you mean by static compression and why is it meaningless? Sead Bikes get away with high compression because they have no load. Static compression is...

... Static compression is what we can measure with calculation -- bore, stroke, combustion chamber volume, size of squish zone in the piston top, etc etc etc. ...
Try calling the Tire Rack they might have something for you. I bought my Kosei's secondhand, and they didn't come with rings. I called them, and they stock...
OK, I'll bite. That all makes perfect sense CP, but nothing you've told me alters the fact that the engine is still compressing the given volume of air...
... The _dynamic_ compression ratio of a forced induction engine is a whole lot more, in practice, than the static measurement. Of course, you're right, too --...
Compression ratio discussion aside, why are you building such a small engine? Forgive me if I missed a ruleset that you are building the car for... All things...

Okay, after a nap, some cookies, and a shower, I think I'll take another crack at answering your question, Neal... Let's say the volume at top dead center...
After trying to deal with putting new "ear type" CV boot clamps on my VR6, I decided to research alternatives. These are the kind that you have to lock in...
PJ, Are you referring to the Oetiker clamps that VW has used forever, (Sounds like it) or something truly new? The Oetiker clamps may be a pain, but once ...
I use some tile nippers with the cutting edges covered with a couple layers of duct tape, and reasonable care not to cut through the clamps. It's not the...
CP, if it helps, I see what you're getting at, and I think the term you're looking for to better describe "dynamic compression" is volumetric efficiency. If...
... Some zip ties are better than others... some have a metal tooth. Is the job so difficult, though? A zip tie may provide enough tension to keep the gooey...
... My local parts store carried a tool from crimping the clamps. It works much better the improvised methods I'd used previously. Do a Google search on "cv...

It did, but I am under the impression the 1.6 is a better choice for it's power at high revs which (as I understood) has to do with the rod/stroke ratio and...

Yes, they are the Oetiker clamps, and I do have the proper tool, which is far as I know is only good for the 'crimping' of the ears after the clamps is locked....
