Leather and dynos...
Hey guys
I went back to the dyno at Carz Performance last week wit da Wintah Beatah(99.5 1.8t) to check on things with my newly rebuilt motor. They've got their new fan setup for dyno time and man do those things move some air. If you want to be able do some consistent tuning without heat soak this is the place to go. As a reminder, with a K04 I pulled 199.6hp/226tq. After the Sportec turbo and tubular exhaust manifold install along with a 3" turbo back exhaust, a new FMIC and all the Chris Tapp BT stuff, it pulled 311.1hp @4900rpm/376.7tq @4200rpm. I decided to do a zero time rebuild and ended up with some mild porting with the 3 angle valve job and and that whole ball of wax. After a 2500 mile break-in it was back to the dyno for another look. This time we pulled 321.8hp @4700rpm/371.3tq @4400rpm. Now, as always, that's not the whole story. Those 3rd set of numbers were at 4.2 psi less boost. Once I get the motor beyond 5000rpm I'll head back to see what's left on the table.
I also just got through installing a black vinyl rear seat and just picked the car up from F&H Auto Upholstery on 44th in Wheatridge. Man were those guys nice and their work was fantastic. Their pricing was also very reasonable. They pulled the black leather and custom black alcantara skins along with the foam from a 20,000 mile set of B5 S4 seats and mounted them to my old frames. The car did have a manual sport cloth interior. I think I'm in lub. Here are a few pics.
