Think it's about 112ish mph.

Anybody know of this guy? Still a 12mm VE

[DMan1198]

111.2mph. It's not nearly as interesting as 130mph in my 4th gen, or 150+ in an srt8 charger. At no point did I feel unsafe, and I think it's been established fairly well that I'm not entirely sane. Shortly before that run was when my speedometer quit, but for whatever reason it'll start back up once I hit a certain speed.

Today I got my primary boost gauge operational, and relocated my manifold boost gauge to my overhead pod. I don't trust one of the connections, so I'm not going to go wot yet, but the primary needle moves off the stop when overall hits 8psi

[DMan1198]

Decided to say hat the heck, and gave her the beans on my way home from butchering pigs. ~44psi overall, and 30 from the primary. That puts me at a 1.31 pressure ratio off the secondary, so I'm really not working that charger hard at all.

[Remps]

Dman, I had my old 93 up over 210 kph on GPS, over 3500 rpm. That was with a 3200 spring, 3.54's, and 265's. 3800 spring should help, and/or more throttle travel.

[DMan1198]

I really should check my throttle travel. I doubt I'm actually getting full travel with the pedal. I was going to get a tach from Eric, but then I get laid off again, so I have to wait until I find another job. I'll get there, but it'll take some time. Also going to get a drive pressure gauge to really be able to tune the compounds right. They'll also help when I can afford to build the p pump 6.7 for it, and I have much bigger, non gated compounds.

I've had my 1st gen up around there, speedo stops at 95 or what ever but she was still winding around. Felt pretty smooth at that speed, and everybody knows I'm far from sane. I've been about 168 on a bike, was pretty cool, but I don't think I'll do it again. Too easy to get killed at that speed. That line in the song about the Lincoln, and the telephone poles look like a picket fence, true story, they were clicking right off.

I'm about 15 psi when the big one lights, and then about 45 when the big one hits 15. Need to figure out how to tune it better, because I know that's not right.

[DMan1198]

What's the turbine side on yours again Pete? Mines actually really on the small side being an 83/74/1.1 t4, and the 67.7 compressor is a bunch less mass than the 71. My needles pretty much chase each other. At 20 overall I'm at 10 from the primary.

[PToombs]

Aaaahhhhh, what ever an S472 has in it. I looked up the specs when I got it and can't remember what it is now.

Anybody know what decent shape beauty rings are going for?

Would you guys go over the time limit on a timing belt? I'm about 20,000 under the mileage limit and I just inspected it last night and it doesn't have any signs of wear or drying out. I'm about 2 years over the time limit.

[Philip]

If your talking about your VW engine. I wouldn't push it. Belt is cheap, having the head reworked isn't.

[CumminsPower59]

I'm with Philip. How much room is there to change the belt in that van with the engine swap?

[meby]

It's not the VW although I'm about 20,000 miles from having to change that one too... the car in question is my 97 Honda Civic run around car.


I've got a ways (20,000 miles) to go before I'm over on the mileage, its just they have a age limit on the belt too.

[meby]

I'm with Philip. How much room is there to change the belt in that van with the engine swap?

The van has about 5" more space for belt change than the Jetta did.

[stuffy]

So today I was doing some tinkering and noticed this


Looks like orings are needed for 49psi and pump to the head
