2001 jetta 1.8T?

deadlast · Jun 2, 2006

another could i beat it... but could I? with mods in sig plus o/r H vs a 2001 jetta 1.8T w/ a catback?

1TallMF · Jun 2, 2006

My guess would be your car would win. My sister's ex-bf has a 2001 1.8T, and it felt lacking in the balls department IMO, specially at lower rpm's.

I have beaten the VR6 ones with my old truck, that truck was a little slower than my stang and the vr6 has to be faster than the 1.8t...

I think you are fine...

WhiteDevil · Jun 2, 2006

You will rape! They are not that quick. Just caues you can hear a little turbo woosh people think they are animals.

nm

you should win

That's what we specialize in at our shop (we owned 1 1.8t too, now a vr too). You'll destroy it. It'd need a lot more than a catback to hang with you. Just for reference, I had a 91 jetta (about 600 lbs lighter than the newer ones) and Swapped a Vr6 into it, head was fully built, cams, and a Vortech supercharger, basically everything they had available at the time I had done to it then some. My somewhat stockish pig of a cobra would take it if I still had it. I put like 7-8K$ into that motor, and now that I have a stang that money would have went alooot further. But a couple months ago I just bought another 84' GTI that I'm completely redoing that's soaking up all my cash so the cycle continues

I'll have to get the ones of my jetta transferred on here from my other computer, it was really a pioneer car for its time, sold it about 98' or 99'. I've owned a 82' jetta, 84' jetta, that 91' jetta, , 92 jetta, 86' jetta, 88' jetta, 91' passat, 95 passat, 95 jetta, and a few others that I can't remember. Here's a pic of my new 84', it has a full 93-95 ABA swap with (soon to be boosted) with the motronic and all, it's ugly as sin right now, but goes in for paint in two weeks. I grew up a vee-dubber (the VW business has been in our family about 45 years now), and could never quite shake the bug, so I'm building this one up so that I can keep my Cobra nice and clean in the garage, plus I can relive some of my youth lol Keep in mind it's getting painted lol, but everything that's replacable has been replaced and it's load of fun. I'll try and get some of my jetta on here soon.

looks really cool man my buddy just bought a 2000 jetta vr6...not quite as old school as yours, but i really like the car a lot...im gettin more and more into vw's as i read about them...theres nothing like german engineering....i'd LOVE a 20th anniversary gti for a daily driver

Nik_95Cobra · Jun 2, 2006

Yeah, mine's definately spartan old school, but it's fun to toss around a 1900ish pound car. And it gets killer milage lol.

we recently bought an 01 Jetta TDI, I love it, its an extremely nice car, the transmission is as smooth as a baby's ass, and the diesel with the 5-speed gets 49 mpg on the highway! but, it is slow as schitt, our jeep cherokee could waste this thing; but with a diesel that gets 49 mpg, you cant expect too much in the speed dept.

But I've heard the 1.8T are only about 1.5 sec or less quicker than the TDI's in a 1/4 mile.

Nik_95Cobra · Jun 3, 2006

stprorolla, here's a very bad pic I found to scan of my my 91 vr6 s/c jetta, and a pic of our former drag car, which was an 84 gti and it ran 11.02, we had these well before the import craze hit (the drag rabbit about 12 years ago before many parts were available), which because of that import craze, is exactly why I got out of that scene.

stprorolla49 · Jun 3, 2006

sweet pics nik!! that drag car looks pretty beastly...im assuming there was a big turbo in that thing, along with it being pretty damn light...

Nik_95Cobra · Jun 3, 2006

Yeah I remember it weighing in the low 1800's, and on the engine dyno it cranked out 475 horse on a largely stock motor, had a mildly ported head, mild cams, stock bottom end for a while, and the turbo. They didn't have all the cool front wheel drive technology back then like they do now, if they did it would have went a lot quicker than 11.02 I suspect.
