[Vwdiesel] Hot Fox ?

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

HI Loren; 
	Perhaps You can recommend a good restaurant near your place and I
will take my Lady for a country drive and dinner. It should be about a 5
hour drive from my place to Wenatchee. If I come over White Pass and up the
Yakama river George it should be a beautiful drive. We can then do a quick
little performance comparison.
	I am cleaning a 50 gallon batch of used restaurant fry oil ( WVO )
with my centrifuge ( simplecentrafuge.com ) as I'm writing this. I have
installed a second tank and a heated fuel system in the Turbo Fox 2 door
wagon so that I can cruise the highways and byways for almost zero fuel
cost. I have 1500 dollars in the centrifuge and about five hundred in my
second tank heated fuel system so at say counting diesel fuel cost at about
four dollars a gallon I will be cruising almost for free after about 20,000
miles. I have already put in a couple of hundred miles on WMO that I ran
through the centrifuge to clean and it worked fine.
	What engine and tranny spec's did you do on your Rabbit pickup. Here
are the spec's on my 1990 Fox 2 door Wagon.

5 speed 9Q tranny from a turbo diesel Quantum.
2.5 inch exhaust system
1.6 diesel turbo engine w/solid lifters
It was bored 1mm over when I bought it at an auction. I did a rebuild that
included having 20 thousands + - milled from the tops of the pistons to
lower compression. New rings, bearings, seals and gaskets. The head has new
exhaust guides, valve seals and the valves lapped. 
	The engine loves pump advance. It is set a 1.45+ now. I believe the
need for the pump advance is brought on by the lowered compression and the
fact that the flame pattern might have changed because about half the depth
of the pockets in the top of the pistons are gone. Now pretty well broken in
it has a little more than 300 lbs in each cylinder. I believe from seat of
the pants evaluation that this engine is more than a little stronger than
the stock 1.6 turbo engine and it runs very cool on the pyro.

We'll have to get together again and you can try the pickup, once I  take
time and dial it in a little better.  I'd like to know how much more  "seat
of the pants" hp you have than it.  It'll be interesting to hear how  your
mpg is now that it's dialed in.  
We only made about 39mpg  on the trip.  Needed injectors but ran out of time
before we left.
