#1: GTI 180 + gti 138 Author: Craigyuk, Location: North YorkshirePosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:45 am ---- Its probably on here somewhere but i couldnt find it, what is different for them to have 180bhp? or is it a totally different engine, can u get a gti 138 upto 180 easily?
#2: Re: GTI 180 + gti 138 Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:48 am ---- They were never supposed to have 180bhp, it was 177bhp; but on average they have 160-165bhp.
And no you can't gain the 30-40bhp cheaply.

#8: Re: GTI 180 + gti 138 Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:16 am ---- Compression ratio is 10.7:1 vs 11:1 as well off the top of my head [EW10J4 vs EW10J4S]
#9: Re: GTI 180 + gti 138 Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:34 pm ---- Your all talking nonsense, its the 180 badge on the back that gives it the extra 40bhp
#10: Re: GTI 180 + gti 138 Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:47 pm ---- Off the top of my head its:
- Slightly tweaked cylinder head for better flow
- Different inlet and exhaust manifolds to improve flow
- Compression ratio
- VVT

No they weren't as most car manufacturer refer to power in either PS or most widely used now in KW
So 180PS is 177.6BHP or 132.4KW
