Great vid Rose, watched it yesterday. It's the air cooled guys that didn't make the vid or missed having their hp figures posted on the vid. Did vwcool run? What did Laurie's type 4 make....

VWCOOL'S it's just an old bug he picked up with oversized barrells so he freshened it up and I sold him some old kadrons that he just bolted on to have some fun in to race. He had it at Valla.
For the record, my engine is NOT a current-spec Pobjoy, it is cobbled together from 20-year-old bits
Given the conditions (41C as I drove into the dyno driveway - not real good for grunt!) and my current state of tune, I'm pretty happy with "65hp" from my $1000 junker! I can drift it at 60MPH - gotta be happy with that!
yeah, sent laurie a email, i'm not sure what he sung out to me from the car the other day..........normally runs around 80 hp, give or take........wll let you know
The old dude in the hand painted hammer coat grey semi automatic stock standard from memory showed 58hp and surprised most watching. He saw an add for the day at the Belmont VW shop. After his run he jumoed into his car and off he went. Like the wind........
Was he really there ?????

Can some one explain how the Air/Fuel Ratio read out works & what it means to me?
That is excellent power.
What mods are done?
I assume it has at least an aftermarket exhaust?

Dangerous, I was chatting to Brendan about his car and he was saying that it is a stock 1300 with standard carbie, from memory it looked to have standard exhaust also. He put it on the dyno and pulled off that number....I remember turning to Brendand and saying I dont think its a stocker!!!
BAT69.. well said. I cant understand why people have to keep bringing up the pobjoy thing. At the end of the day it is an old VW motor who cars who built it, whats in it and the number it pulls....its just a number. Not to discredit VW engines at all, but in reality most of the street VWs at the dyno day are all within 25 hp of each other anyway (example Brendans stock 1300 with 56 and a 2.3 efi with 75 or 80 odd)..and even then do not go anywhere near the outputs of other modern engines. I think if your into VW's you should be happy for anyone that has had a go.
As far as melting heads, although not a pobjoy engine, CT runs his with high compression and the temp guage gets of the scale on the track and he has not had any problems in years.
Rose's work to arrange a great day where those that bothered, or could, get there had a great time is being ruined by all this roid rage.
Except it for what it was. A day out with like minded people and burnt snags. That doesn't happen too often up this way.
Chill out........
Our Morpeth pit stop cruise 3rd May is coming up soon so it would be good if you all come along its another great day out free bbq and a chat with other fellow vee dub people.

I bought the beetle box stock as far as I am aware 7 yrs ago. Its a 72 1300 poverty pack, still had its drum brakes all round (which had never been machined), standard peashooter exhaust & oil bath air cleaner, so I cant see the reason why anything else internally would have been modified.
Only mods to the engine that I have done are late model air cleaner with K&N element, aftermarket exhaust, 034 distributor (which is supposed to have the same advance curve as the 009 but also has vacumn advance) with a basic pertronix or compufire (cant remember which one) ignition module. Ran it on Caltex 98 vortex for the day with 32 degrees maximum advance.
This is the exhaust I'm running.
If I go to the next dyno day might downsize the main jet to see what happens as far as air fuel ratio is concerned. Or I might have been inspired to try a few more bolt on goodies. We'll see what happens I guess.
My 2ltr n/a engine got 94Hp!!! It was built by someone in the Subaru factory in Japan, perhaps with the aid of robot.
Seriously though, all these arguments over power outputs, you can really only compare power outputs of two different cars on the same dyno. Different dyno's display different results, people even fudge the figures on the output of the dyno's. I will only truly believe one car has more output than another if its on the same dyno, same day, same operator, with the same configuration.

finally got around to getting my dyno sheet. Red was the first run at 185 hp with 10:1 A/F under boost and 82 degree intake temps. Blue was the second run after pulling some fuel out of the map under boost, got a little out of it at 192 hp with 11:1 A/F and 86 degree intake temps, did sacrifice a little down low, so may have pulled to much fuel at on the lower revs under boost..still has 150hp at around 4000rpm which is good for the track as I normally sit between 4000-6000 rpm.
Would be nice to have adyno for a full day and get things 100%.... or a stock ECU!!
yeah Subaru, doesnt really count does it?? Its an RS Liberty series eg around 1993 model engine, aftermarket ECU & standard TD04 with about 14-18PSI depending on how much boost spike I get....engine hasnt blown up........yet
Will do for next time. This was just for a bit of fun we didn't realise it would be such a success and have so many actually turn up. So the next one should be a lot better and it will go a lot longer and have some extra runs as well. As it was to hot to stay around that day.
I did put up a video so you can see the hp that matches the car and you can hear which ones are subies.
Hope to see you all there for our Winter Dyno Day maybe Jun or Jul need to find a date that doesn't clash with other events.

Next time you get to run this event could you please do the following and for any other dyno day this will help
make a list of all the entrants and include the following
Car type and redgo number, engine type, capacity, blown NA or injected, perhaps a pic of each car so we can identify whos who on the rollers
eg DB2882 bug, type 1, 1916 , injected this will help others when choosing what type of mods to do to there own car
Great work and a BIG effort to getting it all together
