    I think we know the form of these threads by now!

    The only difference here is I know narthin about these 16v engines. So contributions needed!

    The background to these engines are that they're known as the EA111 series of engines, and they started life in the Audi 50 in the 1970s. Over time they evolved & some of that story is told here. Then VW saw the light, and put a 16v head on them.

    The story I was told about this engine - whole car was brought from Germany (or Belgium*), Volkswagen Motorsport and it has 1,6 liter engine with 160 bhp. Lupo Cup.
    There were two of them. Another were in a poorer complement and had 140bhp.
    I'm not sure that all I've heard about power is true (could be a bit more powerful and it was suppressed), but I have no doubts that those cars were somewhere near Volkswagen Motorsport.

    During one rally event I've met person who told me, that he is working in Germany as a mechanic and servicing Polo. He said, that the engine is used such as in fourth Golf and that it has 215bgp.
    In one website I found said:
    "the 1.6 16v heads are rubbish, you can use the GTI bottom end with the earlier 1400 16v head on it to good effect. 150bhp on standard injection.

    And added picture:
    [​IMG]
    Underneath were written:
    "thats nicks car, it was a 1400 16v, its now a gti bottom end bored to 1700 using an AFH head on bodies, allegedly 215bhp+"

    So, it lets me think that person I've met were talking about this particular engine type (at least head). I was also told that it is possible to get even more power, but reliability gets under question mark.

    I was helping one team some years ago and it used engine like this:
    [​IMG]
    Part in green quadrangle indicates variable timing system.
    1,6 l engine with 400mm ITB, one Schrick cam (another stock) and 4-2-1 headers delivered 160bhp and 170nm. All other internals were stock. Power output could be bigger, but it was sacrificed in favor of reliability.
    Shifting at 7000rpm up to fourth gear and in fifth for couple seconds it runs over 7000rpm up to 7500 - 8000 rpm (depends on track).

    Taken from wikipedia mk4 1.6 16v blocks are 1598cc codes AUS, AZD,ATN,BCB power 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp) @ 5700 rpm torque 148 Nm (109 lbft) @ 4500 rpm. These engines had two timing belts, one main one that drives the inlet cam then the other one runs behind the inlet pulley driving the exhaust cam. The cam cover and cam caps are all in one, holding the cams in place, so to remove the cover you'll need to reset the belt timing and loosen it just to remove the cover. Great engines LOL

    Could it be alloy block used from Golf IV?
    You are right. I've messed up, but I have excuse.
    Discussion I've mentioned were taken during the trip back home after long rally weekend (28+ sleepless hours), so...
    Some things I still remember very well - 1,6 liter and 215 bhp. Wasn't very interested in details because of tiredness, but after two months there will be rally once again and if I'll be invited to take part in a team, I'll try to get as much information as it possible.

    I have measured 1.6 16v engines with variable cam timing (if I remember correctly A2Y engine code):
    Intake 29.8mm
    Exhaust 26mm

    Sorry to come back to that DRV
    But in your very first thread you were all about big valves
    And now you are talking 200 bhp with the smallest valves VW are offering
    You can then see that there are ways to get power out of smaller valves

    It seems to me that small block heads could have very good design and it lets engine produce more power than EA827 16v heads with bigger valves.
    Another thing in this story - are those valves really such small? Maybe power outputs gained through valve enlargement. If not then it means that heads are extremely good in design and in air flow figures.

    According to this site >>>Valve size
    AFH engine should have 29.5mm intake valves with steam diameter 6mm, but not 31mm and 5mm.

    200bhp+ makes sense.

    Above 31 /27 mm are big valves with a 5 mm stem in a Full Race engine..
    STD size is indeed 29.5 mm
