Joels Bus Engine Dyno'ed

Well it went on the dyno this afternoon. After sorting out the Lamda/Brain wiring and plumbing it fired up like a champ and run smoot as butter. It seemed a little lean at first but Jake had me pull the screens from each port of the fuel distributor (good for 3 hp.) and it was just right. I didn't even touch the CO adjustment. She made 94 hp. and 124 ft. lbs. of torque (super flat curve from 2000 to 4000 peak at 2500) and ran cool as the other side of the pillow. Far better power and torque cure than the same combo on carbs. Other than the Mallory, Raby Camper Special Web Cam, extremely tight balance job and the CIS w/Lamda it is bone stock. I ame very pleased with the numbers. Even with the heater boxes belching out hot air and raising the air temp in the dyno room to 140 deg. F. it still made great numbers. Now I just need to find the time to install it in the bus and get the bus on the road (been sitting for 3 years).

I am very pleased with the numbers. Thanks Jake for the chance to learn a lot about the Type 4 and build a great powerplant for the Bus.

CIS Rules :agree:
