Hello again! We had dynoday today. Engine sounded wicked but the clutch started to loose grip after 3000rpm..time to chance kennedy stage 1 to something else. Did you have same kind of difficulties? What clutch do you had?
Hello sir. awesome engine with sick response! You seem to know a great deal about these blown vw-engines, so what do you think about our combo, a 2387cc with super-flow heads and eaton M112 running 40% over with E85. We are hoping for 300hp at rear wheels from bro's -56 sunroof. Fredrik
awesome response! Your video is the best here in youtube. I'm building a 2387cc vw engine with Eaton M112 (40% overdriven) running on E85 and find you video very motivating..what do you think...good/shit combo..? it's for my brother's -56 sunroof, We are hoping for +250hp at rear wheels with good torque...Fredrik
I would agree.. that little stand looks a little shakey.. 'good enough' won't really cut it when it finally drops a motor. Great sounding engine-- :-)
This was the first start up! It has not gone through the break in cycle yet. It has not been tweeked. With the butterfly's not even half open, it was making 6lbs boost. Just wait!!!!
his stand has handled many engines, some even way more powerful than what he has on there right now. I think it will do the job as it has been for the previous years. Maybe later though
did you make your own engine stand? if so, how did you do it?
i want to make one eventually, but I don't know where to start. Thanks!!!

@hossebosse Hey guy. Im' not familiar with the Eaton M112, but I hope you did some math to make sure it's big enough.
that turned out the be the limiting factor with my setup.
It sounds awsome and run sweet, however it could only make 12.20's in the 1/4mi.
I have since replaced that supercharger with a turbo system and the motor makes over 300hp now and runs high 10's in the 1/4mi so far.

The throttle response is quick!! how many ponies do you think this engine is??

Hoping for around 300hp. I'd be happy with 270.
It shows promis as I can hit 8psi just cracking the throttles 1/2 open.

@mbsimpson1 What king of supercharger is that. What is the intake made of & how much $ do you spend.
jkaw750 1 year ago
@jkaw750 It is a Camden 5" Model . It was originally used on a Mazda Roary motor.
I bought it used for $200 (steal of a deal).
the carb is re-built, $250
the heads are nice used, totoally gone thru and ported $350
You get the picture..
It took me 3yrs to finally gather all the parts to build this motor. Most everything is used and just purchased out of opportunity.
That said, I still have about $3,000 in parts (I consider that very cheap).
mbsimpson1 1 year ago
Currently the heads are some mild ported 40 X 35.5 valve heads with multi angle valve job and CB VW-650 springs.

The stand uses stock rubber mounts. Put a healty big motor on there and it will dance around some. The feet stay planted OK thou.
I will re-work the stand when I have time. That will be much later as I am booked with work.

That engine is going to whip butt now that it has the cogged Bully's Pulleys turning the blower. Tom's going to get all the boost he can handle!
