NSI Dyno Day - 1990 Jetta GLI 16v Part 1 of 2

[cherrybomb1493]

Is 105 whp/115 lbs/ft normal for a stock 9A? Just wondering because they're rated at 134/133 at the crank. :/ Cool car though, its likely that I'm going to be picking up a T red 91 wolfsburg GLI in a week :)

this dyno was reading a bit low. My built 8v didn't even break 100whp (98). I ran it on another dyno a week later and made 118whp. I think the operators put in that the car weighed around 3200lbs so the rollers simulated the excess weight and made our lighter cars struggle (like going up a hill or carrying 800lbs of extra weight). my car took nearly 28seconds to do a 3rd gear pull... on a regular highway it took MUCH less time. The car was pulling timing because it was bogging so much.
