Each sub-category is designed to meet the specific needs of demanding builders and competitors, from historic racing to the most extreme projects on a modern base. A closer look at each engine • VW 1.4L 16v AFH A unit much loved in regularity rally and autocross, known for its sharp throttle response. NSB Concept offers forged WÖSSNER pistons suited to high revs and low-pressure turbo conversions. ZRP H-beam connecting rods reinforce the safety of builds up to 180-200hp. Athena MLS gaskets and ARP 2000 studs guarantee a perfect seal and increased resistance on track days. • VW/SEAT 1.8L 8v Ideal for restorations and "old-school" Group A and autocross builds. Thanks to MANLEY connecting rods, ACL tri-metal bearings and forged JE pistons for high compression, these engines reach 200-260hp while reinforcing the structure. These components are proven on rally Golf 2/3 GTIs and track Ibiza Cupras, thanks to the optimal compatibility of the kits. • VW/SEAT 1.8L 16v KR An iconic engine from the 1990s, famous for its availability in competition. Forged WÖSSNER pistons combined with ZRP connecting rods support up to 300hp on individual throttle body (ITB) and low-pressure turbo builds. Athena gaskets and SUPERTECH springs extend longevity at high revs. • VW/SEAT 1.8L 16v KR – Stroke 92.8mm – 20v Head A configuration sought after by engine builders to maximise torque and power (stroke kit). Forged MANLEY pistons and reinforced connecting rods support turbo builds and short-ratio gearboxes. ARP studs and KING Racing gaskets provide the robustness needed for high loads on track. • VW/SEAT 1.8L 20v T One of the favourite turbo platforms in European tuning: E85-compatible WÖSSNER pistons and ZRP connecting rods are proven on Golf 4 1.8T projects exceeding 400hp. COMETIC MLS gaskets and ACL bearings limit the risks during long drift sessions or track days. Flagship builds: Ibiza Cupra 1.8T at 370hp, Leon Cupra R over the quarter mile. • VW/SEAT 2.0L 8v ABA – 20v Head An unusual engine, often fitted for rally and D1 challenge. CATCAMS sport camshafts, high-compression forged JE pistons and MANLEY connecting rods push these blocks to unprecedented performance. Road/Group N builds use our proven COMETIC gaskets and ACL bearings. • VW/SEAT 2.0L 16v ABF – 20v Head A favourite for circuit racing and hillclimb: forged WISECO pistons and MANLEY connecting rods designed for naturally-aspirated and medium-turbo builds (350hp+). Athena MLS gaskets and ARP fasteners are, in this case, essential to maintain reliability up to revs beyond 8,000rpm. • VW/SEAT 2.0L 16v EA113 An iconic pre-MQB generation engine, fitted to the Golf 5 GTI and other sporty models. SUPERTECH valve springs and forged WÖSSNER pistons support 350-430hp on the Audi S3/TT Quattro Stage 3. ZRP connecting rods and ARP studs strengthen boost resistance, tested on the Golf GTI Clubsport. The 4 generations of the EA888 – 2.0 TFSI: benchmarks of modern performance • EA888 Gen1 (2007-2011) Iconic in the Golf GTI/Passat CC, supports K04 turbo upgrades, Stage 2 up to 340hp. Our WISECO pistons, MANLEY connecting rods and Athena MLS gaskets make performance targets achievable while reinforcing the base of every project. • EA888 Gen2 (2011-2015) Fitted to the Leon Cupra/Golf GTI, these blocks accept Stage 3 builds up to 400hp+ thanks to forged WÖSSNER piston kits, ZRP connecting rods and SUPERTECH springs. Build examples: Leon Cupra track car at 420hp, Golf GTI daily upgrade at 370hp. • EA888 Gen3 (2013-2020 MQB) The reference platform for the Golf 7 R, S3, Octavia RS and Cupra. Our MANLEY connecting rods, forged JE pistons, COMETIC MLS gaskets and ARP 2000 studs support Stage 3+ projects, hybrid IS38 turbo, 500hp+. Builds: 540hp Golf 7R, Cupra 300 WTCR replica, intake/exhaust optimisation for VLN circuit racing. • EA888 Gen4 (2020+) The latest evolution in the Arteon R and Golf 8 GTI Clubsport. WISECO pistons, MANLEY connecting rods and KING Racing XP bearings are essential to reliably reach 450-500hp.
