Who else is entered?
VWMA Editor 路
My Vee is entered with a new engine built by Wayne Penrose. A slipping clutch has now been fixed, so I'm keen to see what hp it can really produce.

I am taking my MK 1 Golf

I just discovered I've been driving around with 3/4 throttle travel, should be a good day making Aircooled HP !

I'd put the type 3 on but I'm afraid Leon wouldn't be impressed about me leaking oil all over the rollers!

Unfortunately I've been relocated to a new work site to fix some operational "issues". So I won't be attending or running the bus!! Would of been the last time before new engine finds its way into the back...

What's your race weight, ET and MPH.......easy to work out from that info 馃槑
1916baja 路
Yeah we worked it out a while ago, it was around 100bhp. Just liked the idea of putting it on the dyno.

Take the belt off, the noise will then go away 馃槀馃槀
matberry 路
I've been plagued with holding a stable tune and it seems the fan was to blame. It got worse after Wakefield Park and has damaged the alternator. A few other things that I need to rectify so it's not ready for the dyno 馃檨.

Great day, lots of nice cars and some BIGGGG hp figures. Mine was consistant with the dyno run 12 months before, happy with that. Great effort to those who bothered to take their car out for a thrash . Hats of to you all 馃憤

106 mate, same as 12 months ago ..
vassy66T1 路
106 is awesome!!
Well done.
Nice HP from the big 3 there
11CAB 路
Wally made 362hp
grinderman 路
The brother/sister rivalry didn't end well for my son Andrew (who is getting his appendix out) with Casey taking her little up! to 55.7hp beating the 11 year old polos 55.2hp. It's bad enough to be stuck in hospital but to have such a narrow loss really sucks he reckons. So naturally its turbo time for him
h 路
^ oh dear I'm glad that he is getting sorted in the hospital cause the workshop bench op would of been messy 馃檪
I did see a couple of early ovals on the rollers belting out HUGE numbers 馃槀

Congrats to all those that made a run. I was sad all day not being able to have a play 馃檨

Sounds like a great day.
Would anybody like to write a short report or share some highlights.馃憤

I've only heard the results shown here. How many cars got a run and what did they do?
Your car was the coolest there Steve!
I noticed the air/fuel was very rich,
so I think you will easily crack the 30plus once you lean it off.
OZ Towdster 路
As Dave said , Steve , your car is an absolute credit to you and if your happy with how it performs then leave it alone as being a bit rich (although not too rich ) is not a bad thing as it beats being lean and frying the poor little thing and as i we spoke about on the day , don't take to much notice of the jet settings noted on the international net as there distance above sea level could be hugely different to us which will effect the mixture
steve burgess 路
Thanks Dave and Andrew,it was just that i was lead to believe that it should be making way more hp when in fact it is only down a couple of hp ,and correct jetting should see it sorted.Anyway was a great day and thanks to Leon and his staff,Craig for putting on a Dyno Day and if it was not for this i would be aware of the tuning issue i had.
