Personally, I prefer the Wacky Racers. I see myself as a Dick Dastardly (or was it Muttley ??)

Hey Wally I found ya!:)
Going to follow the progress from here. Michael(aka as Tikimadness):p |
Made a printscreen of a testrun with an aim at 1.0 bar through the range.
Its not perfect yet, but it does show that I now have 'full' boost at 3400 rpm :D The run was made in 4th gear from 2300 rpm onwards to just over 6k rpm (= appr.120 mph...), still tuning for fuel as this was the first time with an entirely new fuel map a bit changed timing and EBC map as well: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...p.jpg~original As you can see, air intake temps are a bit higher than last time as well. Temps rose to 37C after a few WOT runs. |
Looking pretty clean! Your air temps are a lot cooler than mine since I'm not running water injection at the moment. My temps hit 70-76C at 10psi :eek: and I'm totally jealous over full boost at 3400. Mine barely starts spooling by 3500, no low end for me. Does the software allow you to change graphs like AFR instead of lambda? What's your "water temp" actually measuring?

I only use a mercedes transmission cooler in the nose and even on the track (high rpm constantly), oil temp didn't rose over 90C, which even surprised me. Tuning is everything :cool: |
At our big national meeting today at Budel I went on the very same mobile rolling road dyno as a month ago and I tuned again for the same 14.7 psi or 1.0 bar boost:
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...1.jpg~original Complete with a bit of flames from the exhaust...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0PDByAqyjM Thanks for the video Tiki! Print-out above shows 288 hp at only 5561 rpm and 377 Nm (278 lbs.ft) at 4007 rpm corrected for transmission losses. At the rear wheel print-out it shows I have 266 RWhp at 6177 rpm which sounds like a more credible rpm. I need to look at that dip at 4500 rpm, but it may be intentionally as I withdrew some extra timing at what I thought to be the optimum torque point. Anyhow, the tranny obviously looses very little hp, which is nice to know as well I suppose. Very happy with the 20 RWHP addition I got with some optimization of some parts and a bit of extra tuning :D We also had a little drag race today at our local meeting over about 175 meters, which was fun to do as well. Everything stayed in one piece, sun was shining, so all in all I had a fantastic day :) |
|
wicked pic...
|
Tnx for the nice pic Luuk!
I hope to find some vid's of the drag-race finals as I managed quite a nice burn-out with that run if I say so myself :) |
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a NAG? What does the acronym stand for?

Ah, I didn't even notice/read it..:o
Actually I dunno either what it stands for; we have to ask Kulein I suppose ;) On topic :-) , here's two short vids of our 175meter strip... Attempt to a burn-out, but then without the smoke...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAIbrtrd3tk Run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRauAaD540w |
Its a local car club for aircooled VWs, Norcal Aircooled Group, NAG. They cater to old slow chrome cars, needless to say my car doesn't fit in there. The most important part of their cars are the little stick up plates they bolt to their bumpers, where I'm more concerned with going fast and decent handling. None of them would be caught dead in a 1302 or 1303...
|
Thanks Kulein. Thurst for knowledge satisfied!

Our only permanent drag strip in the Netherlands held a street legal shoot-out:

Wow, you stomped that guy, nice job!

Hi
It looks like like your car is really getting it teeth into it, nose in the air back hunched down. How are you finding the G50 ratios? Assuming they are stock. Steve |
Actually, I like the stock ratios just fine: The longer first is very nice to have with a torquey engine and I drive about 195 km/h at just over 6100 rpm, where my max hp is. In the quarter I don't reach that rpm in 4th .... yet :rolleyes: so I have some room for upgrades left.
Cruising 70mph (120 km/h) in 5th is about 3000 rpm, which is nice as well. Head temp is then 325-350F ;) yeah, I like this gearbox mucho. |
isn't 350 pretty hot, or is that acceptable?
|
That range at that speed with those rpm's is not just acceptable, its actually pretty nice.
Stock engines with stock cooling and trannies run 375F at 60 mph when all is well with the mixture in that stock engine... The nice thing is that the given temps don't rise much at all when speed and load increases. Big difference with a stock engine... I know these differences very well, as I run CHT sensors on both the 1303 and my daily type 4 with stock engine/cooling. |
380 degrees scares me, the next thing I get for my car is a decent CHT, now that I have my oil temps under control with an external cooler.
|
380 shouldn't scare you.
425 should... it does me all the time...:D |
well... ive been waiting to get this answer over on the shoptalk forums. i was wanting to know what normal head temps where on a turbo'd t4, and what was too hott. thanks for the info! hey what head temp gauge you runnin?
|
I use VDO.
Burn-out at EBI-3 with Dyno Don commenting. Lets just say he didn't see that one comming :D Spoke him later in the pits: cool guy for sure ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2D_kSGaWBI |
Later run:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IGG0RZQHsM |
Lookin' good! You really dig in and take off, it's awesome to watch :) got any in car video?
|
Thanks, but take off is actually not that good there as I only could manage 2.1 sec. 60ft times on the prepped track. Street tires do NOT like prepped tracks for slicks. Clean raw tarmac is much better for street tires: I did a personal best of 1.894 60ft at the slalom track on the road the same day at EBI, so now I know ;)
Sorry, no in-car video (yet?). |
Nice stuff Wally. Looks like it is pulling good once you get hooked up. Keep the videos coming.

http://olafalbers.de/albums/europeanbugin3/MG_8059.jpg http://olafalbers.de/albums/europeanbugin3/MG_8062.jpg Oh, the type 1 engined turbo car lost that race hehe.. |
This one is still from Drachten streetlegal race two weeks ago. Love this one very much:
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...9/DSC_6146.jpg |
Love the Pics :D
|
great pics wally! Man, I wish I could have made it to the EBI this year...
|
Burn-out and run at EBI-3 against the turbo-type 1 at about 6:00 minutes into the video.
The whole vid is worth looking BTW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnP-t...eature=channel |
I don't like the VDO HT gauge at all, I think the delta digital one is much better? It has compensation for the signal wire to the gauge I believe, that the VDO unit lacks...
|
fab video wally,I hope to get over there in the next couple of years , just in the middle of house moving hell at the moment so the car has taken a back seat , but looks like a cool show all the same

:lmao:OMG. That dude is so funny! By Sunday, he couldnt do it anymore!!!:lmao: Got a wicked pic of him and "MR. Flat4" And an autograph of Dyno Don. Only afterwards I was like "You dumb idiot!!! Why didnt you just ask for "Mr. Flat4's" autograph as well!!!???" He was right there and not busy...... Just a shame I didnt pay attention before, otherwise I would've come up to say "Hi" (not that you would've known who I was :D I haven't bee naround as much as I wanted here lately :( ) |

It was nice to finally meet you at Spa last sunday! Pity I couldn't make it on saturday because sunday was mostly raining... I only did one pacecar-following lap on the track. Hopefully with a rool-cage in next year I can do some 'free laps' :D http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...3.jpg~original |
