I was at dave's shop on the first weekend in may for the dyno day, and it was still parked exactly where he put it when it died. Too this point he has been to busy to even pop the hood, and I would suspect with race season in full swing, that unless I take it upon myself to do when I'm back down there at the end of May, nothing will happen with it until September / October area.
Well I had a chance to go back down to Dave's shop a couple week's back to help a friend with another project.
Dave finally had a chance to pull off the head and see what caused the damage...
Well after that much suspense it appears that the injector was worn and leaking, to the point were it eventually was sticking open, causing enough heat to melt out the pre cup and have it fall into the piston, and then that smashing the motor.
So after all of that it was just a regular maintenance item that killed the motor, and nothing to do with the nearly 200whp that it was pushing.
Dave has since bought a benz wagen, and I believe that the jetta has gone to the JY. Yes he did pull off anything of value. He has no plans to ever rebuild that motor, the next vw project that he has is his caddy, and I don't even think he knows what he is going to run for a motor in that.
Is there a pic? Can't see it if there is. I'd like to see it.
does anyone still have these videos?

The ones I just put on that made less power were 1.9 injectors with mercedes 300d nozzles, the ones that made 195 (smoothed graph) were stock 1.6td.
The 1.9 injectors do seem to give more fuel, I took it for a drive and my revs were hanging, but but it doesn't pull as hard as the 1.6 nozzles.
What are we going to do to get more fuel Giles? I need way more fuel from 5500 and up.
I know Dave has posted this in another thread, but I thought I would try to keep this one all together. This is his Dyno chart from his dyno pull today. It has zero correction factor, and zero smoothing. Dave also clicked on the wrong thing before he pushed print so it doesn't have rpm, but now that He is moving to this shop and will have a dyno full time, I'm sure we will see not only some more HP, but a smoother graph, with RPM. Also he was having trouble maintaining boost on the dyno, it would peak at 28psi, and quickly fall back to 22psi. Anyway enough blabing here it is. Edit: It is a brand new Mustang Dyno
Hoping for a 200+ in the very near future. :wink:
Just bumping the thread for those interested.
You guys really need to learn to search.
Looking back I wonder if with the gt2056 and awic if Malone had already reached close to the same hp. 2056 is capable of it on paper
