100hp attainable with JH 1.8??
Start with a Techtonics Catalog. For more reading, buy
Greg RAVEN's book - VW Watercooled Performance
Handbook.
Then find a 4-2 exhaust Manifold, a complete 2-1
downpipe - mandrel bent exhaust system (TT?)
And get a G-Grind camshaft, they are easy to swap,
will retain driveabilitty, emmission, and provide good
power.
That should give you around 110 hp for relativelly few
dollars.
This will give you a good start in the right
direction, and if you want more, then get more $$$,
and head/intake/t-body work.
Cheers.

Hey all, this is my second post to the list, please
bear with my limited Scirocco knowledge-</P>
<P>I am rebuilding my '84 JH 1.8l engine and once
complete I hope to have it generate at least 100hp at
the flywheel. What should I do? Everything
I read rates my engine currently(stock) at 90hp.
The only mods I can think to do while rebuilding are
to port and polish the head, change the exhaust
manifold to an earlier one(I've heard the '84 manifold
is terrible), and put on an audi 5k throttle
body. Any other easy(fairly cheap) mods? I
really don't want to change the cam, and I want the
engine to be efficient also(good MPG). Would the
mentioned mods bring me up to 100hp? I'm all
ears to anything that would bring me up to anything
above that also! Also, anyone have any
reccomendations on where to get a quality rebuild
kit? What do most VW lovers use? thanks in
advance-</P>
