black ghia spy shots

the turbo-ghia is getting better and better, but pretty much

full in the engine bay, and I'm getting happier. more picks later.

new "lay-out" for the turbo-ghia

i drove to 506 kilometres today to see my black ghia & bring some parts for a mock-up.
i had an idea how to put all the stuff in the engine bay, but when i was trying to make ém there as i wanted, i had to change the plans, for a more easier lay-out, but the best part, is that we can proceed with this new plan. the water/air cooler will be behind the right tail light area, the t04 60-1 turbo will get a longer 90 bend to fit with CB hideaway header, the intake manifold will get a 90 bend over the alternator, after that it will get the butterfly valve and after that comes the cooler, from the cooler to the turbo we will put the dump valve... we will have to get a tank for the cold water, and the radiator also... but in a week the car goes to a welder that will make all the mods, to the brackets, header, injectors, etc...so that the parts can be bolted to the car ...for good. one part that we managed to put in its place, was the wastegate, this is the number four.... huh. check out the pictures... you will get the idea anyway.

Pauter small block - getting smaller

Thanks to tomi seppälä and jyrki laune, we got this block apart, no surprises in here, just clean parts with oil. Pauter block, pauter crank, pauter rods... The cam is a mysterious one, no codes what so ever, but i bought tomis pauter turbocam... A roller cam. Next we have to have a good shover...

Size matters? B-B-Bug

Nothing beats cubic centimeters - except "ahtaminennn" = (that means charging) Jyrkis bug stretched its legs, sweared a lot and didn´t even break... i would guess that IN FINLAND this is THE bug to follow... check out the link jyrki´s bug

it´s a piece of art,  with style, no 20.000 usd  flipflop paint,
no hoodride style, no erco´s or centerlines...
NO NONSENSE :-)

 

 testimonials from a very angry bug...
so whats left then?

 

... One very happy kid,
and two pretty happy adults... ;-)

boys will be boys, Hell yeah! and amen!

christmas coming early? part 5 - digging deeper to the core.

ok, so far things are looking better...JE pistons, pauter rods, Pauter or moldex crank, everything looks clean & very nicely glued with some kind of cement... and now the engine turns easily...so it would be best to put it back in one piece... ;-)

christmas coming early? part 5 - deeper inspection.

1 head off!, ok, no pauter cylinders BUT autocrafts, looks like there is pauter steel rods, which is cool....and i´n not sure, but there might be a pauter crank, it sure looked tough, the valves are 48x40mm rockers are Gene berg...

christmas coming early? part 5

Hell yeah! i´ve got a 607 hp panel van now... (in theory) ;-)

525 hp in the trunk + 82 hp in the enginebay. ;-)

But seriously, i picked up the pauter small block (86x94) from the customs. and it looks great,

i allmost would like to take the panlevans engine out and put this in....but then the panelvan would be paralyzed, so im going to carefully dismantle the "sleeping terrorizer" and check out the status...so that it will not self destruct, when i want to drive it. ;-)

i would have a set of 101.6 Pistons and cylinders, as well some autocraft 910 heads for this...to get "more" of this combo, but lets take a look first whats inside... ;-)

stay tuned...
