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:

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?
