MK4 85 HP vs 75

[loonymoon]

I know that a REVO won't do much for the power of the 1.4 ( I think someone said the power gain is less than 5hp so hardly worth it). But if it can improve responsiveness then I may be interested, It sound's an expensive way to do it if there is a way to adjust an ECU setting for the throttle response though..

But I'm intrigued now - if anyone knows please tell me!

yeah power increase is nothing to write home about, i got around a 10% increase but it changed the whole way the car drived, less gear changing is what suprised me. i could coast round a bend a 15mph in third then red line it to 75 if i wanted .
don't get me wrong it wasn't pulling like a veyron but it still impressed me

How can you tell if your engine is the 75bhp or the 85bhp one?

 

[basstard]

there's a white sqaured sticker under the boot carpet that tells, among other things, the power in kW.

 

[bashy]

says 63 which must be the 85bhp one right

 

[basstard]

1 kW = 1.36 hp

that meens mines 95.588235294117647058823529411765kW then

63kW is 85.5hp

yaaaaaaaaaaassssssss!!!! still slow but Iam happy

I'd like to know what's the REAL difference between the 75hp and the 85hp,,,
just like the tdi thing: they put out the 1.9 in [among others] 100hp, 101hp and 105hp form,,, is there a real difference considering how much a dyno result varies between different rr's?

plus, do you guys with the 85hp experience the same accelerator lag?

lets face it a 1.4 isnt a fast car more a town car to be fair unless u have that golf gt 1.4 with turbo and supercharger
