Does anyone know if they make jug kits for the 1.7? If so what hp and performance gains can be expected? Are there any other cheap performance mods for the 1.7? Thanks for the help guys.

HI Matteyp, I'm just finishing up a complete engine rebuild of my 1.7 L and have installed the 1914cc, 96mm Big Bore kit from AA Performance. This alone should be good for 10-15 HP and a good slug of torque. I would look at tweaking the F.I a bit richer. if that is all you do. For my engine I gone all the way: Big Bores, mild cam, Duel-throat Webers, $200 main bearings from AutoAtlanta, flycutting the heads to 1800 cc specs to fit the new bores, replace all guides and valve job. Shucks, for a little old VW engine, it has cost me $1000! I guess the real message is that HP isn't cheap. A machine shop I went to as a kid had a sign on the back wall: "Speed costs $$, How fast do you want to go?" Sorry, there's no cheap short-cuts. Best, Terry |
