clumpy1 11 Posted June 19, 2015 R32 power is around 240 Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainredeye 0 Posted June 19, 2015 That's a great result ! I have just Put together near enough to the same combination of parts as yourself, fingers crossed I get some similar results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted June 19, 2015 Ta clumpy wont be to far off then but i assume a 32 has bags more torque than mine Good stuff captain ! Try not to miss out the throttle if your doing 268 cams and schrick ! Its what lets it all breath and without it i dont think id of made that power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted June 19, 2015 Its nice to see period tuning getting good results like that. Did you get a graph printout? Is the throttle body a bored out ABV original? How does it drive on the road? After all the hard work you've put in and the expense the results are well deserved :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted June 19, 2015 Cheers dox im chuffed with it and glad its getting some nice feedback ! The throttle was the origional 2.9 corrado throttle that was machined and a bigger butterfly put in ! Not just polished like some would think works Drives great on the road first and second are pretty quick and if you keep you foot hard down it spins out of second :) after that it just pulls nice and strong all the way round and feels nice and smooth it quite a drive and with the windows down it sounds great Ill post my rolling road printouts on here later on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 20 Posted June 19, 2015 Sounds good Matt. Will have to catch up sometime and check it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted June 19, 2015 It'll be a bit more torquey not much but the vvt will add a bit further up revs. Good work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captainredeye 0 Posted June 19, 2015 Where did you get the work in the throttle body done? I have seen ported ones before but none with the enlarged butterfly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted June 19, 2015 Some interesting power run graphs here, std abv and an R32 in a MK3 that still had some issues to over come, same rollers same day. http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?262369-135-550bhp-GS-Clinic-and-Dyno-day-280413-2-0-16v-plot-compares-Pg5/page5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 20 Posted June 26, 2015 Can safely report that this motor is a true beast!! Goes really, really well and stops even better! You've done a great job with this Matt and the paintwork is like glass. Hope my neighbours didn't spot us stroking your windows!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted June 26, 2015 Nothing wrong with a bit of stroking Chris Good to here positive reports about Matt's car but then it's what I was expecting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted June 27, 2015 Well done Mat, I'm pretty much going for the same setup minus the cams. Just need to get my gearbox done with the new final drive. Where did you get the throttle body done? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted June 29, 2015 Dox sorry i missed your link to the power runs i will have a read of that when i get a chance Chris thanks for the kind words im looking forward to just getting out now and enjoying it but yes it goes well enough and your reaction to the braking wich i believe contained some jesuses was quite funny haha I have spent two solid days detailing it it now and iv just got the finishing touches to do and ill put some pictures up ! Unfortunately im just very busy with the new house Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
