Super flo - under cover.

Time to cut up the new cylinder tins for the Super Flo heads,

They needed some cutting, and looks like i have to 

make more room for the spark plugs. not sure but it looks like

that theres no space at all for the wires. next stop is the alternator and 

the fan. maybe theres some plans how and where to cut, 

but lets learn this from the hard way.and the full flow areas

tinware needs to be modified as well, also because 

theres this cam position sensor. more of this later on.

Power to the people -The Bus Engine is almost ready

After the fast cruise with silver "that sun" we headed to the garage to see my project engine.
theres nothing really special in it, but some parts that i have managed to collect, a new stroker block from Paruzzi.fi, a new FK8 cam, a old 84 Scat, + old school porsche H-profile rods, aa-perf 94 p/c kit,    11,5 C/R, E85 sipping... old race super flows from a 11 sec race bug, manifolds from Aircooled.fi ...and from the Lauffers / vwparadise i got these 48 mm butterflies with the air cleaners etc...

now i need a good flowing exhaust, plus some minor parts... but looks like there will be a potent Bus-motor to really get the panel van moving. and because of the fact that these are not the all out parts that i would have, i would guess that this might be the engine that could be driven, even in the traffic jams. hope so. got to get jimi from the school someday. :-)

The change is coming!

For the panel van, ;-) ...its coming, the 84x94 stroker. It may not be the ultimate fastest panel van in the streets, but maybe a surprise for some of the guys in the Leasing GTI's, the brakes has always been superior, and the ride is like in the rails, so the only ingridient mising is 100 hp more. Maybe it will happen with this... Who knows. 

The Cranky side of the stroker

I got a call from the machine shop, and the crank was ready, a balanced 84mm old scat crankshaft... Who knows how many turns it has... But its grinded for the porsche bearings 0.75 size :-/

The job was to balance the flywheel and the crank...+ and to get the rotational masses lower... Maybe 2 kilos? Dont know... But hey... It will be a "bussimoottori" which is a lame bus engine... Well a fk8 cam and a low compression ratio... :-) funny thing with the flywheel is that it was taken off... Of my 1960 panel vans original engine, so it is a 6v flywheel with 200mm clutch... So the engine will be easy to put for example in my 6volt 1965 ghia vert... But when the engine is ready to rumble, i might be putting it first to the panel van...

Black ghia mods...

Ok, time to get forward... The smaller (or too small) kawell turbokit is going to rest somewhere else...

We will put a bigger and better setup asap, and sell some stuff...

Ok, i made a small mock up so that we know what will be modified and how. 

The garrett turbo is in kangasniemi so i cant check that for the moment, but maybe in the next weekend i will be next to my ghia!!!! this turbo is from a dragster engine... might be a bit too big.
but it would be fun to test if it "runs" at all with a 84x94 "starter-motor" 

Everything needs a stroker.... :-)

Im checking out the parts for my stroker build up. And if mr. Laitinen has some time, i would like to have two things to be done for the block... One of them would be the porsche oil-squirters...

...but i can live without them also :-/ the 84 stroker crank needs also new "8-stud-job"

Im still going to use a fk 8 cam, and mild compression, just "in case"...  Of a turbo...

...to be continued... 

Heading for a better turbo-system....

Thanks to some swapping of things, i got a new hideaway turbo kit for the ghia, and it looks promising, not 100% ready, but close enough, the turbo got green light from the turbo-repair shop, they thought that " its a big one, ..this is for a vw engine?? " are u serious???? YES i am, i will only clean it up...

I had to test it for the new turbo header, and it looks greeeeat! It needs a a 30-40 degree elbow-adapter, but anyways, this setup can use a cooler also, ;-) oh yeah! ...To be contiuned...

X-mas coming early?

I got a new block, ready for a stroker axle, ready for 94mm p/c kit, and ready for full flow, yeeeha! Thanks for the paruzzi.fi ... This is inspiring, i started instantly to check the crank etc.... And what misses for the moment.... To be contiuned

And thanks to paruzzi for the great magazines!
