WPVW Dean's preparation for Sydney VW Drags

vw_dude · 2013-02-03T03:23:30+00:00

A few days ago I removed my right inlet manifold to fix an air leak between the manifold and the head. Once I had the weber linkage undone I decided that I may aswell put a turbo on it now. 😂

tonight we fabricated new braided fuel lines from the regulator to the Holley carb , mounted the Holley carb , removed the fuel tank and welded in a new large dash-10 nipple for the fuel supply , and Dean assembled the rear apron assembly back onto his beetle.....

Tomorrow night we will finish the fuel system , fabricate an accelerator cable , and off to the dyno on Wednesday afternoon.....

last night Dean and I fabricated & installed the fuel hoses .
We welded in a much larger nipple to his fuel tank to ensure ample fuel supply & also a much larger breather fitting to enable air to get back into the tank when the fuel is pulled

had a lot of trouble trying to get Deans bug to run smoothly on the E85 fuel as the low-speed galleries in the Holley carburettor a far too large as we have discovered .

So the quick & easy solution for this event was to drain the entire fuel system and set his bug up on methanol .

We had great results his bug on the dyno , producing 256hp @ the wheels on just 8psi boost ....... Dean is ecstatic with the results !!

thanks Dave ( and all other well wishes ) , we did run Deans bug on methanol .
The original plan was to run E85 and we set Deans bug up to do this , however the 750dp methanol Holley I purchased was supplying way too much fuel at low speed so we drained the fuel system and changed to methanol to get it ready for the VWMA VW drags .

We then drained the fuel sustem , changed back to E85 and I purchased a 750sq bore vacuum sec Holley petrol carb and proceeded to set that up on E85 . We found that the low speed running was terrible and excessive amounts of fuel were pooling in the turbo at low speed .

We then drained the fuel system again and changed to 98ulp , installed Deans 2 original 48IDF webers on a conversion manifold ( dual weber IDF to Holley pattern ) that I had on the shelf , to find it idles perfectly at 800rpm and was extremely smooth and very responsive with no fuel pooling in the turbo . This now tells me that we just have to get the low speed set-up jetted correctly on E85 . We will try the webers on E85 next week before going back to the holley carb .

We then drained the fuel system again , changed back to methanol and installed the 750dp methanol Holley to run at WSID street-meet Wednesday night 27-03-2013 .

Deans speed at WSID was 123mph ...... he had 3 runs and the slowest was 120mph .....
