This engine
makes good power (about 100HP) from about 1500 to 5500rpm (with
standard pulley) or 6000rpm (with power pulley). I run a power pulley
in winter and a normal pulley in summer, I'm going to add a technical
page about power pulleys because no-one in the VW industry knows
anything about what effect a power pulley actually has on a VW engine. The engine is tuned so it will also run as low as 600rpm while off roading, and it's not uncommon for it to do about 1,000rpm crawling up mild hills. |
