you need vw parts?

 i have several, i would say too much, but let me knowif you see something good, 

but facebook is best for these...

something is happening

just for the fun, the 1700 cc engine is getting parts, 

and the 76x94 is getting more complete, got to modify the engine tin, 

to make them first the oxyboxer...

the old kawell turbo set is a mock up to see what kind of exhaust 

would suit the massive sump-pump

 

1700 cc with kawell turbo?

Today i was totally exhausted, but tried more things. the intake needs more mods with the grinder, and the intake ends needs a vacuum port. There isn't any for the moment. but this looks promising.  :-) the tube that goes to the turbocharger needs also taken some 5 cm away. Maybe it would be great to have one custom made after this mock-up is ready. any suggestions? I'm getting a feeling that this has to be running in couple of months. just for the fun. :-) - for the next day i leave the intake mod, and have to find the j-tubes and the bracket for the carb, and bolt the t-intake back... + put the ignition on spot too.

stocker turbocharged?

 just mocking-up some parts, 

but looks promising, the intake needs some modification, 

but this could be worth the try. :-) stay tuned.

 

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.

turbo garrett t04 60-1

Searching for a good turbo (for the ghia)

I have this garrett from the pauter 86x94 to use in the black ghia, but i will go to show it in a repairshop, if it needs anything...if its ok, i will try to get the cb hideaway turbo header today, and also try to sell stuff to get an autotune ecu, ... asap. The black ghia needs these. The system that there is right now, seems to be too small for the combo. :-/ 

Turbo Ghia - searching for bugs ;-)

I drove to kangasniemi to tear the fan apart, ( the fan was busted and it turned freely, even when the engine was not running... ) and to change for a better part... And after few hours i was able to test drive the ghia again, with my co-pilot (7-years old)  jimi... Jimi was very eager to get the ghia for a small spin, and when i got it to the third gear, and for some boost, the little boy was dead silent... Ok, some bugs made me stop the test, but it was worth the trip, because of jimis reactions before and after...

When getting back to the garage, jimi was able to get in to the tracktor with mr. Laitinen, and for a little boy, that tracktor drive was even cooler than the ghia ride... ;-) 

Theres some issues in the car that has to be fixed... But that will be another story... 

Btw, the car is now allmost "silent" after the fan-fix, getting better, but not in the "finish-line" yet. 

I will hope that we will get the bux out from the ghia... And...there will be a ballbearing hairdryer and a autotune or similar in the future... The car is looking good anyways!

Driving my turbo ghia for the first time!

This was the best day for ages! I drove to kangasniemi - to change the oil pump cover to to my turbo ghia...a csp cover, that has a valve did the trick and now it has normal oil pressures... Wow.

We got the engine running but it was smoking like hell, which was a bit a dissapointment, but i went for a small spin for test the other stuff... The best part was that the oil pressures were ok, and the smoke was gone after a couple of minutes driving. The rancho drag race gear box worked fine, and the rest of the car was allmost civilized, sort of... ;-)

I tested the third gear and the gauge was showing around one bar of boost, ... Yeeeeha! The kawell turbo setup from the stone age works fine! I dont know how fast i was going... Heheh....

There was some issues though, like one burned fuse, and the oil cap is missing now, and the fan is history also, but we managed to get the car back at the garage, and im on my way to home...

What a day, i feel better than james brown...!
