We have decided to do some upgrades with Chris' bug for the 2013 VWMA VW drags .
I have ported another set of Type-1 heads with 44mm intake & 37.5mm exhaust valves , reset the compression ratio to 9.9 , and I am in the process
of fabricating a new larger intake manifold & new larger turbo header .
For now Chris will be using the same tiny T3 turbo & 45dcoe sidedraft weber carb , so it will be interesting to see how much power gain we will
achieve with the new improvements
pictured are the new heads next to Chris' old heads which had 40mm intake valves & 36mm exhaust valves with much smaller ports

The intake manifold is tach-welded together , I then position the turbo & manifoild where I want it prior to fabricating the turbo header .
The turbo header is currently being fabricated & will be finished on monday night .

we completed the fabrication of the turbo header on Chris' bug on saturday morning before I have to make a quick trip to Wagga Wagga .
The header was all tach-welded together , then removed so that it can be fully welded today and reassembled tonight

Dean assists Chris in grinding back the welds on his turbo pipes
Today Chris' pipes were fully welded & tonight the welds are ground back
The pipes are then fitted back onto his engine to position & weld the in place
The entire turbo system is now removed for cleaning & painting
Tomorrow night Chris' bug will be reassembled & the engined fired-up , then off to the dyno on Wednesday afternoon

thanks for the offer Brad , I do have a TIG at my shop and have been teaching myself to use it on aluminum whilst I have been building the new circuit
car .
My aluminum welding is getting much better and I am very happy with the results so far , however I have not had the time to stop and play with it on
steel yet .
I will get around to it soon , but for now I am fortunate that we have a good team of members that all pitch in and help get things done , so I can
keep productive whilst they clean up after me ( grind welds etc ) , and besides that there is plenty of time for grinding between 6pm & 1am

Chris completes the installation , we set the fuel pressure & the engine is fired-up .
A new Aeroflow oil feed line is installed to the turbo and the turbo cartridge is rotated to keep the oil feed line inside the body
The weber carb now also sts outside the body ..... the carb will be fitted with longer ram tubes also
All sounds good for the dyno this afternoon .....

yesterday we did have quite a lot of trouble with wheelspin on the dyno , but managed to strap it down tighter to gain some grip .
The problem we faced was how uncontrollable Chris' bug became when it came on boost . There just didnt seem to be a mid-range area to assess the
air-fuels as each time it was loaded-up on the rollers it just errupted !!
It made 294.4hp @ the wheels on just 10psi boost before pushing the copper 0.060" head gaskets out between the head fins .
So yesterday afternoon it was back to WPVW , put Chris' bug on the hoist and dismantle for inspection . Head gaskets pushed out of shape on all 4
chambers but no damage to the heads or the barrels .
I decided last night to remove all of the barrels to install 0.060" barrel shims rather than run the risk of moving the gaskets again . Everything
cleaned & reassembled & engine fired at midnight , ready for another dyno session today .
I also decided to run the dyno wheels from my oval on Chris' bug for the dyno session today to gain extra grip and a larger rolling diameter , hoping
that we will have more of an opportunity to monitor the air-fuels

fitting the dyno wheels to Chris' bug was a very good move as it gave us the added grip on the rollers and also gave us more time to monitor the
air-fuels without wheelspin .
However , on the 3rd power run the flywheel decided to part company with the 8-dowel crankshaft as you can clearly see on the dyno sheet as it lost
drive .
Chris' bug produced 305hp @ the wheels on just 10psi boost and was going to make plenty more , looking at the power curve . Luckily this happened at
the dyno and not at the track !!
Time for a flanged crank , alloy case & 10mm headstuds I think !!

How close in diameter were the tyres between both sets of runs and what gear was each done in?
Sorry to hear about the flywheel, hope she's back on track soon!

Wow, gotta be happy with that, even broken.
Tests I've seen, tyre diameter and gear ratios will not effect dyno figures.
