BHP figures for your golfs.

I got my 83 GTI rolling roaded today and got a figure of 109 BHP @6.430RPM
I wanted this checked as i have recently fitted an Ashley 4 into 1 and a supersprint system and wondered if it made any differance compared to before.
2 years ago when the only mod it had was a K@N panel filter it made
108.8 @6.500 rpm.
The car has 116K on it.
It made me wonder what was the factory figures for this car and what everybody else has been getting?

Standard for the 83 1.8 GTI is 112 bhp and 114 lbft, but most don't get quite that much anymore (they are getting close to 25 years old!)

They run best on superunleaded fuel, which makes quite a bit of difference to most cars.

Cheers,

Drew.

I've mentioned this before but didn't get much interest. my brother in law owns dyno and tuning company. It's located in Neston, South Wirral. He will give us big discounts for dyno power runs, you will get a shoot out, 3 runs wth print outs to keep. It is easy to get to from North Wales, Chester, Liverpool and surrounding areas.The more people interested, the cheaper it will be. Look at the Web site.

Mine shows 113BHP. It's a 1.8DX model and the only performance mods are Jetex exhaust and K&N panel filter. At 140k I was pretty happy with that.
