problems found...

 i bought some old turbo/injection parts. and thought why the jenveys are partially black, and the other one is clear...so i saw that the problem has to be bent "something"...and it really is. no wonder that they cant get it run correctly at the dyno. And just like it has to go, the last bolt won't get off. so i will go and check if i can get it off now, hope to get this project moving again. its 1.1.2026, so no time to waste!

late-night oxyboxer update

Ok, looks promising, this is only a mock-up. to see how things would fit, 
and later on how the old header looks like, this one needs a custom made header, as the oil pump interferes with every header that i do have. 
but lets see who might be the lucky one to make it. 
i also ordered a collector, but it came with a v-band, my mistake. 
maybe the same that will make the primaries, will make the collector too.














this header is not the one, not atleast the final one.

Great things happening!


I got jimi to help me, as my wrist is somehow broken, 
as the res of my body, but anyways...
we took the old gearbox off, it was only there for moving the bug.

now we put the drag race gearbox IN!
there's also karpiola race axles, and mister
Kotten fixed all the gremlins off.
so now we are getting somewhere. at last.
have to go to shop more big nuts and bolts too. 
this will be great. now the big question is ... 

Turbo 76x94 or ATMO 84x94?
or Turbo 84x94?

what do you think?

last midsummer at the cottage.

this place is going to be history, i will move forward, 
to a more suitable place, for my cars.
but maybe somewhere in the lohja-region... who knows.
there's many things to do.

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...
