1977 Baja Kombi on the dyno II - The Suby EG33 Engine

This is a second video of Andrew's kombi. It shows the difference between last years run with the Stock 2L VW motor, and the new (in progress) Subaru EG33 (3.3L flat 6) engine. It made 168.8HP at the wheels (which matched the factory 240HP at the flywheel using a gearbox efficiency of 70% - accounting for Kombi gearbox, offroad CV angles, etc).

It seems a waste of horses in a van which has the aerodynamics of a loaf of bread :D

fuck television, I could watch this shit all day.

[ImPoopF4c3]

put a bigger engine in the car, not under the hood, inside of the car like top gear

[LOST11B]

Where could I find more videos of baja buses?I love the way they look!

@Logik426 Potatos are round though like balls, this is a really pointless discussion

[Logik426]

@hubertcumberdale3124 potato has worst Cx, because bread is more longitudinal... lol

[hubertcumberdale3124]

@Logik426 not as good as a carrot or a potato or many other foodstuffs

[Logik426]

@hubertcumberdale3124 loaf of bread isn't good example:D It has good aerodynamics. Really!

[Nick4Gaming]

@hubertcumberdale3124 its an offroader, it doesnt go fast enough for aerodynamics to make too much of a dramatic effect

[concorde3276]

would this be kombi i saw around Woolgoolga / Arrawarra ?

its looks awfully familiar with those big wheels and that colour.

[Zryuken]

Sounds like you only took it to about 4-5 grand. With a RWD setup like this you should be seeing 200 at the wheels at least from this engine.

@hubertcumberdale3124 - all the more reason to add to the original 55.
