Jez Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 is there any difference between the 75 bhp and 100bhp heads?i though cams were the only problem?i have a GTI head here, but i dont think you can use that because of the vvtwonder what the gti cams would do for ya though?

noddy Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 well been told gti cam's are mild sport's are wilder .think its in the port size's that hold's back the power on the 75bhp so port and polish should sort that but not sure might just take the engine back out and get it all nice and clean and sort that head out just need a cheap ride for bout 200 quid style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaMike Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I think the Sport head is gasflowed mate. Don't think it's interchangeable with the 75bhp engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 but if thats the case wouldnt a port and polish sort out the diffrents i am only guessing willing to be told it wont fit as dont want waste cash style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Valves are all the same on all the small block 16v loop engines according to etkathe heads will be the same also i bet, even as the GTI one probablycams are different though for the diff levels, 75, 100, 125 Edited March 27, 2006 by Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has VVT which the 1.4s don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 thats not the head, thats just the cam cover housing that has the vvt in it ... i think the head castings are the same on all the engines, i got a spare head if anyone has a 1.4 and can take pics we can compare style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 well the bit that the VVT actually changes - the oil flow to the exhaust tappets i think?seems to be on all the heads on ETKA, but the diagrams are pretty roughjust has a solenoid that opens and closes the oil flow as far as i can gather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshirt2k Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 It doesn't affect oil flow to tappets, it Actually changes the cam timing by either advancing or retarding the cam. It's a very basic system, not as advanced as the honda system. Its called Cam phasing.see here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
