Autool smoke leak testing

 it is a great little box, and good and easy to use. there's smoke coming in different places, found one mystery leak. but the others are easy to fix. if you have a turbo car, i would highly recommend autool.




have to test is it the new exhaust gasket that leaks or where it comes...


also the v-band seems to leak a little bit...
have to check that out also.

vw drag race transmission update

 Looks better than ever, the race trans is getting in shape, but there has been plenty of bad things and errors in here. but anyways, this looks very promising... this will end to the orange race beetle-bug-fusca. im not in a hurry, as I'm trying to concentrate to the karmann ghia. and hopefully one day i can swap the orange bug soon to the sepänkatu garage... i also have the spare 2332cc superflo engine waiting...

1700cc upgrade

 i got a alternator kit from www.osakauppa.com - and a new water pump for the wasserboxer bug, so i have even more work to do, and with the inventory of kotten T. i got the missing parts for the alternator kit. and now its almost ready. i still have to get some engine tins... but it looks good. if you need a 1700 cc engine in your project, let me know. :-)

ghia update


The right side wasn't all that bad, things went pretty fast, 
the gasket was looking bad - a new one should do the trick,
 the spark plugs were changed also,
next thing will be the smoke leak tester...
jimi was really helpful, maybe we will get this in the dyno asap.
but i´m not waiting for huge numbers...
