My source tells me that the 85 Scirocco has the following....

1780cc
CIS FI
90@5500 rpm HP
100@3000 rpm Torque
3.19x3.40 Bore & Stroke
8.5:1 Compression
28@2000 rpm Oil pressure
Manual drivtrain
Electronic ignition
Compression should be between 123-174 psi

The engine code should be a JH, if not let me know what it is and I'll
tell you what you have. Don't sweat the mechanical drivetrain. I have
hydraulic valves from an 86 GTI in my van and have been told by a few VW
guru's to watch the oil pressure down the road as the hydraulic valve
trains tend to develop pressure problems sometimes. Isn't that serious
in a passenger car, but you want reliable pressure in a vehicle this
size. Still, I've had no trouble yet.

Also down't sweat the lower HP rating, you won't be driving at 5500 rpm
very often. The torque figure looks pretty good at 3000 rpm.

I have some other figures for that engine like timing, plug gap, ect....
if you need them.
