My other 1303 GL

Interesting!

282 kW is at the wheels I presume? Thats 383 hp at the wheels, which is about 430 crank hp (+12% average for that gearbox i think) at 27 psi. Seems low for that turbo, engine and boost setting..(?)

It also still seems laggy, even without RPM at the x-axis. Do you also have the RPM dynosheet?

Seems another issue causing the laggy-ness I think? Wastegate control? Pre-turbo leak? The latter may also effect the total hp.. and could be detected with a speed sensor, but not many people use those ;-)

Nice Progress Steve..

Good to see you have those stents fitted

Hi

282 kW pretty good for a 2 litre motor. I hurt a piston at an event on the weekend, Im going 2.1 fully forged motor now.

Ah, 2 litre, that explains a lot. I agree, then the torque plots looks much more logical. Sorry, I had forgotten that.
Sorry to hear about the piston hurt. Fully forged definately seems like the way to go with these hp levels

Hi

OK motor is stripped, burnt piston and a twisted conrod, so stroker crank forged rods and pistons and doweled water jackets. The stroker should be good to bring on the turbo sooner and it will be able to revved higher so I will have a broader powerband, same motor combo is good for 400 kW at the wheels in AWD drive cars.

Whoa, nice build!

[Wally]

Nice updates! Still on the GRX3076R ?

[Steve C]

Thanks Petevw

Still the same GTX3076R turbo but with the .63 rear housing, not long now

There's your limit I think.

Hey Steve, how is your build going?

Hi

Its good to be back, thanks to everyone that worked to get the site going again. I will need to fix my photos up that are hosted on Photobucket

A lots been happening with my bug. I had the car back on the road for a few days and bent a rod, my fault, I got a bit carried away and drove it through a missfire.

So its a fully forged strocker motor, 2.5 crank, Argo rods, Manley pistons etc 2142cc it made 305 kW on 29 psi, Tomei cams are now responding to tuning thanks to a new ECU, it also made 200kW at just 4,500 rpm, the torque is amazing.

I also fitted an Accusump and Radium fuel rails and dampener.

Ive loaded a dyno photo, not sire if it will work, Red blue green 3 boost settings. Pink is old setup

PS, photo loaded OK so I will load some more and update old posts

A few extra photos, Accusump

Hi

After my Beetle crashed into my sons Beetle we did an update on it, Aero kit the same as mine, he borrowed my wheels for a while. Were building Oxy boxer for it, 82x94, Street elims, 48 IDFs dry sump etc
