oxyboxer update 2


some parts that i already had, now in need...


45 idf throttle body


a spare wbx-longblock is good for the try-outs


oil feed-line for the turbo. 


for the oiling, i just need a 90 degree part and that is ready then.



had to remove the oil filler tube from the wasser block


type 1 hide-a-way header


here you can see the difference of the 
wbx and the typ1
exhaust flange for the 3 & 4 cylinder


there's gonna be the oil drain location



here i have to get a 90 degree an-fitting from the turbo


a tight bend, but might be good this week


have to have a welder to make correct parts in here.


and a thermal sock for the hose too.


hot place, but i will fix some thermotec or similar


have to check the angle to the block too, so that its always descending





had to change the throttle bore 
to the oxyboxer too, looks promising, but needs some gaskets...





stay tuned...

some upgrade at the garage...

 cutting, grinding, fitting, and  cutting, grinding, fitting, 

well getting somewhere anyways. looks better, but the throttle bores are still missing.

and the header for the turbo won't fit with that massive oil pump. 



and this turbo engine is a 76x94 oxyboxer


this on is a 2332cc basic stroker

oxyboxer update

I started to cut the china tin to fit the oxyboxer, 
and as i haven't done this before, i was a bit scared.
but looks like things might work.
and while waiting for the dual throttle bores, 
i used the carbs to mock up the plenum etc. 
now i will do the other side and 
check for the other turbo parts too.

agent orange and the red rooster

 both of these needs some action. the red one needs the front brake, assembled at the garage, and then back to the cottage. to put it in its place. i don't like the cold weather and working outside. but got to do that, then its done. and as i drive a audi quattro, i can even come back from the cottage, the down hill to the cottage is a bit icy and slippery. and good news with the orange bug, as the transmission is good and ready,  so it might be best to get the bug from cottage to more suitable place to change the gearbox. more of that later. have to go to garage now. ciao!


Jimi is concentrating in the stoplights

waitng for a sunny day to assemble the brake parts.
