    whats up everyone. I'm back, so of yous may remember me from "The Beast" 181whp on CIS-E back in 08... well I still have that car, but currently no motor in it BUT i now have a mk1 16v! and am going to squeeze out the most power i can out of this one too!.. gonna start small and work my way up again... havin the dyno charts to prove it too..

    here's the specs soo far.
    9a bottom end stock
    PL head stock
    TT "street" cams
    TT adj. cam gear +2 degrees
    modified airbox w/ K&N
    CIS motronic ( have several ecu's) TT stock, TT for cams, and AMS..
    stock manifold to scirocco downpipe to europort exhaust..( TT head & exhaust comin soon)

    so i welcome all questions and comments and im gonna update this thread daily! im super psyched to be back and want to prove once again that 16v's RULE!

    here's JR

    thanx!...ive been following ur thread too! im at work today, tryin to find a place i could dyno at today, i really need to get some base numbers with this setup now. i really just wanna get some pulls with a wideband...

    the block from the red car is toast, but i recently refreshed the cylinder head from it...and it will one day make its way into the rabbit...

    UPDATE
    sooo..i was never able to make it to the dyno like i had planned..BUT did get some more work done!

    i slapped on a set of oldschool UNORTHDOX lightweight underdrive pulleys.. which i had on the original beast..

    underiven and lighter crank pulley, and lightweight waterpump pulley..same diamter as the outer one on stock setups.. it also gets rid of the stupid free spin pulley that makes noise..

    i also have apower steering lightweight pulley which i dont need in the mk1
    and i also have the alternator pulley, but i havent got that from my old motor in storage..put i got a pic of teh setup soo far..

    Very cool. Im curious to see how this goes- Your results with the last one were amazing. How does the car feel now?? Are you going to stay with stock internals/ head?

    Did you ever get your old head flowed? It's not hard to get it to flow more than stock but you may be working in the dark if you don't have concrete flow numbers.

    We're in 2011, it doesn't matter if you make 150 or 200whp, it's all been done, not posting your dyno numbers are more of a thing to keep you interested.

    Just keep in mind that are turbo people making well over 500- 600wheel HPand post them without a problem

    2011? I think you lost a year somewhere.

    I don't really care what numbers the turbo people are making, I'm more interested in what the N/A motors make, and that particular n/a motor had some good numbers. And whether or not that particular intake was of a benefit or not would be interesting. And yes, a lot has been done, but not all share their results, and dynos are not all equal, but they are the best we have for comparing the results.

    How did that compare with the stock mani? I don't remember that far back, normally.

    If you assume that a decently tuned 2Liter 16v motor makes 135wheel Torque, cut down the intake runners so move the peak power up and peak at 7500 you'll end up with 192whp ((135x7500)/5252) for example, so your high hp number might be just due to moving the peak torque up in the rpm range.

    Look at your dyno and compare the old torque to the new torque in order to see if you're really moving more air, Horsepower is not something you should use in gauging anything as it's just a function of Torque and Torque's the motor's true power output.

    GOOD news i wa sable to find the old dyno with a 176WHP run and the short runner run overlayed...the graph is screwed up cause it got wet somehow ove rthe years and caused the lines to run...but the numbers are clear...

    ill snap a pic and post in the AM..

    not to be disrespectful ,but I'm not really sure what ur tryin to prove?? it was a high hp number cause be i spent years thru trial and error and finding out what does and doesnt work..and where I come from WHP and a dyno sheet MEANS alot.

    anyways like u asked...heres an older dyno.. IIRC the rpm is off a little i had the stock jetronic rev limiter at 7,200rpm at this time.. later setup was able to rev much higher

    I'm not trying to prove anything, you said you had numbers and I like any other 16v guy would like to see them. Then you mentioned that your head flowed and I simply mentioned that just because you're making more whp it doesn't mean that your head is flowing more (not saying that it's not) and gave you the example that cutting the short runners down would move the powerband up considerably and justify your higher whp, I think I was pretty clear when I posted that and even gave examples.

    I know where you come from, somewhere around Northern NJ, just like me. If you're like me then you've been to Ave P in the mid 90's and early 2000's, Hunts Point, Zerega, Global, York street (Eliz), Ikea (we started it then it was shut down), etc, all local.

    But anyway, Just saw your dyno sheet, the torque looks pretty good, did you ever do a back to back run with a 50mm vs the cut down short runner? I ask because I had all that stuff done except for the runner maybe as early as 2000 but never dynoed anyway so yes, i'm curious and I'm not downplaying anything you're doing

    But this was not the case with my engine..i actually LOST 10WHP and LOST 20Ftlbs

    due to the fact i made it with 40mm runers instead of using the 50mm runners.. i still have 1 more manifold i have to try one day...
