I should have the Golf Ready with Oettinger cams and the chip . It last made 85 KW at the wheels . It should make an easy 100kw this time . I'm negotiating with forced induction on the VR6 , hoping to have it ready by the nationals for my G/F to race . Maybe low 8's if I'm lucky . Anyway , the beetle is going slowly and wont be ready till late Feb at the earliest .
I'll be happy with a 9 flat out of that motor (if I can get it down there this year )
:puke
Well, Bug_racer, your VR6 will certainly show a higher read-out than my stocker. I guess it'll be good for you to compare the two cars to see what gains youve made though. What kind/type/brand of forced induction are you looking at? I contacted a mob over in the US a few months ago about one of thier super charger kits but at $12thou sent here and fitted, I just wouldnt be able to slide that passed the boss...yet.

If your interested I'm most probably going to sell all the Hipo gear I've got to make way for a turbo . I've thought about Supercharging but your very restricted to boost and there is a real limitation power wise . The kits cost $4000 US and only give 250 hp at the flywheel . Turbo kit for the same price gives 300 HP . I found a guy selling a kit second for $3500 , comes with everything but the turbo making 625 hp . The Turbo will set me back about $2000 Aus for a reco one here . So the stuff ain't cheap . But when was the last time anyone saw a Golf pull a 12 second pass at the drags ?
Well guys we are on for 9:00am Saturday morning the 1st of Febuary at SAS.
Its on the corner of Fariola Street & Silverwater road, opposite Cadilac plastics.
Hope to see all of u then.

Jak
Congratulations to Ben Durie for breaking the hillclimb record at Ringwood in his stroker beetle!
Just a quick question what is Kw?
How many Kw to BHP??
I only know BHP figures.
Rob.
1hp=0.7457kw 1kw=1.341022hp and im hoping to make at least 20kw of ball tearing ground shaking power when i put the 1300sp on the dyno,i hope they have a good ventilation system there,bit of smoke blowing from the peashooters.
Guys my crank split fair in two and one head somehow has a hole in it.
Most probably from using incorrect fuel but usuing a higher RON fuel was something my mehcanic neglegted to tell me....
😠
At anyrate im looking at a couple more weeks before he can lay his hands on a new billet crank and rebuild the motor.
So im not going to make it....
Im really really really REALLY p'o'd!!
I had the engine only 3 weeks - a week of which it wasnt driven due to my mechanic not tightening the bolts on the alternator shroud or the alternator strap which equated to the alternator coming loose and spining around to take out the fan and stuff the generator itself.....
😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

ok good news first,,,
my bro is getting married on the 2nd of feb! i'm a groomsman, and i'm pleased to see he's happy.... :kiss
now for the bad news...
he just told me that we have a rehearsal for the wedding ceremony (i'm greek so it's like a bloody theatrical production!) and then we're off to organise the reception and wheatever.
so... *tear* i won't be able to make it to the dyno day... unless i finish early... but we shall see.
Sorry about the stuff up guys, i thought i'd be safe for the day b4 the weddin' but obviously not :jesus
You'll have a great day anyways! i wanna photos and dyno reports! 🙂
I know the production Yianni My Big Fat Greek Wedding II 😉
looking forward to seeing some results.
i just read the vwtrends dyno test article, and am a bit sceptical about those yanks.
looking forward to seeing some honest australia results, of cars that can actually be driven comfortably.
any t4s other than the 2800 ball tearer?
oooo what about a comparison between a 1916 and a 1943 just to dispell some of the latest arguments that have surfaced lately...
... hehe just stirring the pot:kiss
...................( O \ l / O ).....................
yeah Richard is taking along the 2.4L Berg type 1 EFI Turbo bug, estimated at 300 hp or so... watch out!
Hey costa I saw u on george st in ur Audi last night 26/1 at about 11pm. nice car
Jon
did u, where were u?
was i driving carefully or hitting it?
:party
I'll drag the oval along to make up for the no-shows. I'd be happy to get close to 100hp at the wheels. My guess is about 85.

i saw u around circular quay, just saw u for a brief moment and recognised ur plate.
Jon
Who me?
That probably would've been going over circular quay on the expressway. My car is almost a regular fixture on the bridge.
My oval has been in daily service, earning it's keep, for the last couple of months. The engine seems to love being driven alot. The paint doesn't like it as it's living outside. I've given up counting the stone chips.

I'm pretty sure I'll be there as spectator. Will take the kombi up. Dont know if I'd want to dyno it even if there is room. The noise of cars on dynos is very scarey to me. Sounds much less severe from inside on the highway.
Chris.... kombi pilot, oval dreamer... finisher #26971 2005 city to surf
I hope to come along as well, after i take care of a couple of little jobs i wonder what the 1916 in the split will do? what about the reduction hubs will they give false readings mmmm very interesting
Keeping it real !
the reduction hubs will just give you more tractive effort, and a slower speed. Same HP (unless you count extra friction).
I saw costa the other night, sorry CT 😀
Jon
Does anyone know what dyno it is cos if its a dynamic dyno the figures are less flaterring than others
But its all good as we all are going to be on the same dyno 🙂
does anyone know what the weather is going to be like 2morrow as i was told theres no use putting the car on at a temp higher than 28 degrees
Just do it man. It will all be relative. everyones car will be in the same temp.
There are ways of calculating the horspeower with conversion factors for temp and humidity. I dont know what they are but they're out there.
Im definitely coming up for the look now. Is this a grog day? bring the esky? BBQ somewhere?
Chris.... kombi pilot, oval dreamer... finisher #26971 2005 city to surf
It is a Silverwater....... i work just up the road.............lets just say the "scenery" isnt exactly ......... ahh...."nice"
There is a pub around the corner on Parrmatta Road called the Wentworth. It does have one of the best beer gardens around.
How about we congregate there after the fact and discuss the affair over a few "sherberts"
Either that of we fill your bus full of ice and chuck a few slabs in!
:beer:bounce:beer:bounce:beer:bounce:beer:bounce
Futue te ipsum!!!
hmm wonders what kind of "scenery" that is. No bikinis on silverwater beach? LOL. I got no idea where it is. Will look it up on a map before I go.
They got food there? I could bring a BBQ. I wont be cooking for everyone though. BYO cookyourown.
The beer is not for myself. I dont drink. Just the devil inside me doesnt mind a few.
Chris.... kombi pilot, oval dreamer... finisher #26971 2005 city to surf
It is about 2km north of Auburn Mosque.
The food at Auburn is GREAT!.......just not the "scenery".
Good take away / pizza / laska etc etc. Would have to be the multi cutural centre of the world.
Counter meals at the Wentworth are excellent as well
Futue te ipsum!!!
Can't wait...but it looks like the Speedster will still be at Boris's workshop on Saturday...bugger. So to keep the numbers up I'll just bring the Spyder and an other German watercooled V6....same group of companies though.
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm
Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals....................Except the Weasel.
