si5000 Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hi guys, I've seen a really nice 2.0 (110bhp) Colour Concept )Futura Yellow) i'm considering, but 110bhp from a 2.0 sounds pretty awuful to me! I'm changing from a 160bhp Fiat Bravo HGT and thinking i'll miss the power. Is the 2.0 110 easily tunable? Can anyone recommend any particular mods and power gains?

gambba Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 No NA engine is easily tunable, not like a turbocharged engine, and I would always say if you're looking to add more power to a car right from the start then you should be looking at buying a standard car with that power in the first place. I would suggest the 1.8T as he engine to go for....unless you can afford the R32 that is. With the 1.8T you'll easily see 200 hp with a chip.

Drillslinger Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 And Si5000, I agree that the 2.0 is not very tuneable at all. As with most NA engines, you'll have to spend way too much, for little gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si5000 Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Thanks for the responses guys thats what i expected. Shame, everything about the colour concept i've found is perfect bar the power Guess i'll have to look for a 1.8T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 The 2.0 is what comes in the New Beetle - and is very tunable, just not very cheap to tune, because all the serious mods add turbos, etc. I dont think in the Colour concept that you get much choice either - I think they werre all 2.0 models, like you say it is a shame. THing to bear in mind though that the car is quite unusual (esp if it has the yellow and black trim instead of all black) it might be worth considering an engine transplant in the future.
