Ken’s drag VW

Posted by Lionel Published in dyno

It’s great when you get those first couple of cars tuned. It really pumps you up for the season. Ken’s v-dub is no exception. Following in Lanny’s lead we have an A4 Golf converted from street duty to full drag.

When I say following Lanny’s lead, I literally mean it. The turbo setup used to be on Lanny’s car - good ‘ole T66. It’s interesting to see how quick this turbo comes to life. We were seeing boost build from 3500rpm, not bad at all on a turbo that was considered “big” back in the day.

While waiting for the shop to clear out for our dyno session, we came across this: the iltis. I forget buddy’s name but he had a hell of a time trying to start it. Have I said CARBS ARE FUCKEN ASS, yet?

Anyway, back to Ken’s wood. Dyno session went okay with a few stumbling blocks. His supercharged base map was tuned only for TPS which is complete ass. So I had to re-map it to use MAP as load. The next problem was boost control…. there was none. A quarter turn on the manual valve resulted in 9 to 21 psi. With a valve that sensitive, we opted to run the lines without the valve and settle for 12psi.

We finished off the session without smoking the stock motor. That’s always good in my books. Next stop - the track!

It took about half an hour to start this car. Carbs are ass.

Nothing like a good bumfuck to start the day! Ken likes to smile when he’s horny.

Pro Dubz coming out hard in 2008!

All business.

Check out the rear wheels tucked.

Mota.

Mota again.

Ken loves posing for the camera. All the ladyboys love this pic… there’s that smile again.

DP loves these type of bolts. Make sure to use them when you see him.

Getting ready for bumfuck #2.

Fuck you Ken.

Neal is a pro at bumfucking, notice the hands on the hip and shoulder giving maximum leverage. Ken takes it like champ - just like McDonald’s, the smiles are free.
