Brand new engine run in on the dyno!! After all this work i finally got it going and going well at that!!! We had to tune it on the dyno to set the computer for the fuel injection. Specs of the motor are: 9:3:1 comp, 1.25.1 rocker, 2332cc, 84x94, street eliminator heads, 46x38 valves, 500thou lift, experimental cam, 1 5/8 headers full merged, 2.5'' system with borla muffler, porsche fan set up, thunder cords ignition and leads, and fresh penrith air at CBB's dyno!! We are also going to try some 1.4.1 rockers. After gettin the fuel air curve right i got 136.1hp @ 5600 and with crazy 900lbs of tractive effort (torque)!!!! It all most drove off the rollers!! From 4000 to 6000 rpm the motor will have over 110hp at the wheels.

Please take this tongue in cheek, (as most of the other pobjoy comments on here should be taken !!!)...... but 2332 w/ street eliminators and EFI and you only made 15 hp more than a steroids 1916 ?
Nah just jokes, looks like a real nice combo - should be able to keep it fairly cool too - only 9.3 : 1 and a porsche fan should keep it happy......
Nice to see another hot VW on the road. Especially another one with EFI - what computer are you running ? From memory your motor is twin weber style throttle bodies isnt it ?
i was expecting more but it is an experimental cam that we are trying in our motors and it may need more lift for the top end power.. but allthou it not as high as expected it has 900 lbs of tractive effort!!! and dont forget its a brand new motor needs some ks still... how much torque does your 1916 have? And please remember this is a endurence motor low comp and soft valve train i want it to last and not be doin tappets all the time! well i think it will be HEAPS of power for me for a while!! I think the power may be mre usable compared to a motor that makes more at a big spike... Well im really happy with my whole car and just cant wait to get out on the track!!!

Doug my comments had nothing to do with 1916's, strokers, pobjoy or any other politically based reasons............................................just a very logical (my) interpretation of a graph ! not really brain surgery.

you can only measure Torque on an engine dyno, not a chassis Dyno, so I did not worry about plotting it, instead I plotted the Air/Fuel ratio which is more applicable to tuning on a chassis Dyno.
The figures you are quoting regarding torque really mean nothing, stick with the HP figures
from here you need to build a gear box to get all of this going I guess ,close ratios ect.
at a guess you would of spent around 8 > 9 k on this if you did it from new ?
Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake
Man im soo happy that my car came with a ratio box with a tall 1st and 2nd and short 3rd and almost standard 4th with a ZF L.S.D. Yeh around 8-9 grand would be a good estimate.. man its not cheap!!! ive got alot of work to do to pay my ass off!!!
Yes I would say so as well .I take my hat off to you lads with air cooled motors its a shame you need to spend so many $ .I will be happy with my ej20 quad cam 🙂
Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake
it would of been I sold this motor and decided to go with subaru with mine .I have one with a 1600cc and one with the ej20 .I will sell the vw powered one when it finished .
We have done a ej22 mid mount as well this is one the road now .
well it is very fast ! it goes around a corner like its on rails ,the big differance is the motor in the mid position ,with trikes the motor at the rear you lift the front wheel very easy .this smokes the wheels for start .it has a stock motor done around 120000 ks .I get a photo on the weekend for you .I can say you will fall over when you see it .
One big change to these is a sway bar on the rear ,I fit a eh holden .
