So the same engine as the golf R then and basically the same as the Ed30 but chain driven.
There is no chain driven EA113. It's still belt driven.
And how do u know this??
Think it doesn't make any difference how I know it.
Believe me I have no reason to tell stories. Everbody will know the facts in a few days.
So why should I be an idiot and tell crap?
Doubt it would be an EA888 Lee... the S3/Ed30/TT-whatever blocks are all EA113 because that's
had the engineering done for the higher power/torque ratings already and they're sold in such
few numbers that they don't affect the fleet CO2 tremendously so there's no need for the EA888
unit in these "halo" cars. Up-engineering the EA888 would cost euros which wouldn't be worth it.
It's a power hike from 210ps to 235ps.
There is so much headroom in the EA888 that I very much doubt VW would resort to fitting the "old" engine.
Simple 2min remap of raising prolly 0.2 bar of boost would achieve that extra 25ps.
But what do I know eh! we need to see the engine bay!
You really think VW would do a simple remap?
They never did it this way.
the headroom on the old EA113 with K03 is a lot LESS than the EA888 with IHI K03 in my opinion.
Sorry, that's absolutely wrong.
VW knows it better than you.
But it's still all speculation till we see some engine bay shots. Wonder why they didn't release any details of engine spec tho or engine pics.
There is no speculation no more. EA113 + K04. That's it.
