@@RaceRabbit OMG, I so miss Woodburn Dragstrip.. I spent many a weekend pitting for my friends From Hillsboro My home town, Back in the 80's. Friggin' Awesome the track made it this far! I froze my A$$ off one night in my 66 'Stang and will NEVER sleep in a car without a sleeping bag, A HOT woman or several blankets again! Seriously, so many racers from Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Beaverton and Portland used to go there. Friday night High School Drags were SO much fun! I have seen some really crazy $hit go down there! Jet Cars were the BOMB! I hope to return from Spokane, WA to watch the drags someday soon!! I am in College and will be out until Sept. 20th. I will try my Best to make it there Covid be DAMNNED!

Not sure about others but i really enjoy the trouble shooting part when you guys have to make adjustments on the dyno. I find it very interesting and informative

As a mechanic those hard diags stick with ya too. I highly recommend Scanner Danner channel for more of that stuff if your into it. He gives in depth computer systems and electrical diag, scope readings etc. I cant afford a scope... but its great learning how the pixies travel through stuff lol

[@kariannestudeman1909]

This kinda shows how tuning and being a good tuner is different, Brent has the touch to look at what the car is showing him and giving it his touch to the max that car can take. He is confronted with so many combinations in his world and he is a master at dealing with the whatever.

It's good to see people still improving the VW 8 valve engines. Seriously underrated and I believe they still have a lot of untapped potential. I've seen a lot about this car over the years, it's been making tons of power for a long time lol. One of the meanest MK2s out there.

The brazilians run this 8v VW engine up to 65psi 1300whp 9k RPM for decades now. It's very popular engine down there. The fastest they had run was 6.8s 1/4 mile on the RWD Chevette H pattern. I do have Gti 1.8T 20v mk4 pushing 620whp 50psi and then swapped to a small turbo for road race. Talk to with the guys at Fueltech Anderson and Luiz they are expert on this type of engine.

[@RaceRabbit]

That's who we are chasing is Brazil 🇧🇷😀

[@conorjamesthomson]

I want to see this 1300hp 65psi. Built with SPA parts??

[@MadAdventure919]

This is one of them with same engine with 16v and 8v. Normally they used 8v cylinder head for 1/8 mile because has more torq and 16v for 1/4 mile for top end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6XNl6WopdqqsJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWPVnmN7d7d6kJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/enjTgnl_ZdGDfa8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4qkf4Gpp6Z1qas

@@conorjamesthomson That Chevette has been rebuilt after the crash. The top 10 Chevette run low 7s high 6s. Those VW Gol AWD and FWD run low 7s. If they could bring their cars here to US it will give a V8, GTR, Supra and Honda a big headache.

[@southjerseysound7340]

This brings back some memories....... I've still got my old Nub works ABA Sri sitting on the shelf from my corrado. It did 419whp back in the day and I had to cheat with spray to break 400 😆 600+ was unfathomable from a 8v back then. But don't let that fool you because 250 to 300 from a 8v VW is one of the best 4cyl combos for street fun ever. I eventually swapped to a 16v head and made a lot more power. But honestly it's never been as fun to drive as when it was the 8v head.

[@conorjamesthomson]

Tell me about the 16v!! Tell me EVERYTHING!!!! >:)

[@southjerseysound7340]

@@conorjamesthomson it used a 2l ABA obd1 block with the early forged crank,pauter rods,1.8 16v head with some minor porting, I ran 8v aba pistols first but cr was around 8 to 1 so had custom ones done but I think 2l 16v but don't hold me too it because it's been like 15 years. The rest of the motor needed a 2l 16v passat intermediate shaft and oil pump.16v timing belt gears and iirc about 5mm milled off the 2l 8v aba crank gear because the 16v timing belt/gears are wider than the 8v t belt stuff. So you need to mill the pulley to make the accessories line up. I also had to modify the 8v distributor and use the 16v one on the head instead of block. I gutted the 8v dizzy putting the trigger window and sensor into into the 16v distributor and then I think I used the empty 8v dizzy in the block. But again it's been years. But that's essentially the cliff notes on using factory VW parts. At one time BBM Motorsports sold some aftermarket parts to do it too. But VW motors up to the 20v are like Legos and I also ran a 2l ABA 8v block with the 20v head in my old Audi B5. That thing ran mid tens in full street trim and put 538 to all 4 wheels running out of turbo. It was the same bottom end with schrick cams,mahle pistons , Tial v banded 35r Garrett and a pag parts v banded manifold.

[@southjerseysound7340]

I also did a 8v with carbs and a little nitro back in the day too 😆 we never dynod that because it was all spare parts. But going by weight and trap speed it was getting close to 180-200hp before going boom 😆
