Happy At Last! Got My C Back with More Power!!!

[rado-steve 0]

After about a month in my local VW specialist, got my C back this morning......

 

Work Done:

 

Gas Flowed Rebuilt Head

Schrick 260 Fast Road Cams

50mm Inlet

Magnex 4-Branch

Drilled Airbox only on Wing Side

 

Ran awful on the way down to York to Kershaws, no power and it just bogged everywhere, kept stalling too :(

 

I have to say that Kershaws are the Dogs when it comes to K-Jets........

 

After 1/2 hours fiddling and a few power runs, result 168Bhp@6100rpm and a really nice torque curve!

 

Test Drive was soooooo good, crisp throttle response, awesome induction noise and when it hits 5500rpm it screams all the way into 8000rpm!!!

 

I is loving my car now :)

now that is a result. Cool, so I can look forward to similar figures when I rebuild/flow/port my head. Already got high lift cams to go in, and 50mm inlet - am missing the 4 branch though.

 

Could you post up a scan of your dyno if you have it please?

It is a nice sight indeed!

 

What are you using? A 2.0 engine? Was thinking of sourcing a 9A bottom end to use with a KR head, K-Jet and a suitable gearbox - maybe a G60 for mine.

[rado-steve 0]

No It's just a 1.8 bottom end! Revs better than the 2 litre! 2 litre has better torque though!

 

Use the valver 'box 'cos the ratio's will be all wrong on the G60 one!!!

Now thats a turn up for the books - something i own actually being suitable! That makes the BHP figure all the more impressive (and a step closer to me having one in my car!) ;)

Great result - I know when we chatted on Sunday you were hoping for 160BHP, in some ways I miss having a screamer of an engine

[rado-steve 0]

Aye :) It Sounds Amazing once it comes "On the Cam" I really am chuffed with it.....

daft question i know but is that at the wheels or the fly wheel?

[rado-steve 0]

would think flywheel, prob about 140 at the wheels!!!! not sure though as didn't ask!

 

whats yours putting out??

[PhatVR6 0]

how the feck did you get it on the rollers!??!?

[CoxyLaad 0]

24" wheels lol

[rado-steve 0]

LOL! Cheers Paul :) Finally Raised the suspension about 40mm all round!!!

[corradophil 3]

Good power, more bhp, but less torque than mine. That would make an interesting race! By the way I expect thats at the flywheel. Mine was about 130bhp at the wheels, 162bhp at the flywheel

probably........could be up for a drag race :) Keep your 17's on though :)
