Which do you think would be quicker?

Havin a debate with me mate the other night about which wud be quicker out of a standard 1.8t at 150bhp and a 2.0l 16v at 150bhp

Basically he has a mk4 with a standard 1.8t in and he thinks itll be quicker than my mk1 with a 2.0l 16v

on my engine ive put a lightwneslightened flywheel and has a full stainless system on but engine is standard

So wat ya guys reakon???

Thanks dan

One way to find out.

Lol my cars not on the road yet as i wud have already ha ha

In that scenario I would of said mk1 it's nearly half weight of mk4 to start with 

Thats wat i wud of thort but he was.adimant.that his wud be quicker cuz of the turbo lol

150 bhp is 150 bhp regardless of engine.

The mk1 will be quicker as the power to weight is better 

Mk4 is prob around 1ton so would be 150bhp per ton vs the mk1 that's around 880kg so 170bhp per ton

But take in to account your engine is older so might be putting out less bhp and also take into account gearing and wind resistance 

Only way to find out would be race!! 

Sort of contradicted my self!!! 

My money would be on the mk1

Mk1 for me too   

Yeah expect the mk1 to be quicker initially, then the better aerodynamics/torque of the mk4 to move it ahead.

mk1 all day long

Even a 1.8 gti will give a mk4 20v a run for its money.

gearing and wind resistance 

The lightest mk4's weigh in around 1200kg, comes in around 120bhp/ton -  they are quite lardy and a 150bhp 20vt would struggle even against a standard GTi upto maybe 100 where the aero of the newer car would take over.

150bhp odd mk1 would pee all over it

I surprised my mate the other day in his '98 s3 pulling up a hill in my 1.6gti so I think you would easy do it in a 2.0 mk1

By the time his turbo has decided to come out to play you will be long gone!

Tell him to get a Custom Code re-map then come back & try again!!!

This comes from a mk4 1.8t owner…..with a Custom Code remap, K03s turbo, child seat and a dog guard!!! (yep, the child seat and dog guard made the biggest improvement!!).
