| Ben's car
resting after running hard on the dyno. |
 |
Cathy's, Josh's,
and Brett's. Ever get tired of Sciroco rear? :-) |
 |
| Next up playing
spin to win is Jason with his A3 Golf VR6 conversion. |
 |
Jason ran
a bunch of tests with the filtering system... stock vs K&N
vs HOT under hood temps with the cone filter. |

Eagerly looking
in at the differences the filter changes make |
 |
| Jason's VR6,
double thumbs up. :-) |
 |
Josh and the
hefty 1.8t taking to the rollers. |
 |
| Josh, is looking
to put down some big big numbers, and doesn't dissipoint. He
was also accomodating enough to help sponsor our event by shouldering
much of the bill. Thanks! |
 |
Running his
car heated up the garage nicely |
 |
| 1.8t block,
stock internals I understand. T3/T4 turbo and a custom 2.5"
exhaust |
 |
Yee Haw that makes a big noise!
(Renard, Josh, & Brett watch Josh's
car spin em)

I think Josh
is happy with his cars performance (260HP+ to the wheels) |
 |
| Wound up on
Mt. Dew after some happy dyno'ing. |

Jim's 1.8L
16v convetible is next up on the rollers. 2.0L 16v head, stock
Scirocco exhaust, .040 overbore, Kent 258 cams. |
 |
| Just another
normal run on the dyno and all that... ;-) We've been trying
to get Jims car dialed in for a long while now. It doesn't seem
to always do something predictable... |
 |
Jim, hoping
we get it closer to right this time! |

Ok, why Jim?
After a hard pull to redline, the sudden let-off seems to cause
a pressure inversion in the crank case / intake tract... |
 |
| ...which due
to the slightly overfilled oil, shot a bubble of hot oil into
the intake causing all kinds of scarey smoke. Freaked everyone
and made a big mess...cleared up after some running though. |
 |
With far less
drama, Cathy was up next. Ben and Renard having a technical discussion
on something.... |
 |
|
Happy to be here Cathy! :-)
2.0L 16v, 50mm intake, euro cam, 1.8L
head, TT 2.25 exhaust, lightened flywheel, 3.94 R&P

Several tuning
approaches were applied looking for more power (timing, mixtue,
etc), but the 1st run was best. |
