Vw things going on...

Ok, 1. hopefully i get the missing parts from auto silicone hoses before friday to the post office, because at friday i would go to the "dark side"- meaning to see the black ghia. We have intentions to get the parts together, weld and grind etc... And because i will go to see the special welder dude, i will take this bad ass header with me if he has some spare time... The big wastegate would like to connect with the header... ;-) 

2. I've been fixing the blue ghias tail lights, cleaning, changing new bulbs etc... So that there would be light one day, at least at the back. ;-) will see how it turns out...

3. The blue verts front needs some new stuff to get it in shape, i was thinking that i could also assemble one spare adjustable, narroved front axle with theše parts, paint it and bolt it in the old ones place. Would be a cleaner job... Maybe even a bit easier....lets see how it goes...

4. Have to remember to take all the stuff concerning the black ghia...especially the silicone ones.

5. Also cant forget the bad ass bus engine... I wish i had new race rods for that engine, because the rods might be one issue later to bolt one turbokit on it...

But anyways, keep on checking for updates, i have a feeling that they will be plenty again....

Stroker to the panel? Or 2 the vert ghia?

Its hard to decide, which one would be funnier? The panel van goes like the wind, easily, but its not the one that you would like to drive 150 km/h for long...

It would need a red9 fronaxle or something similar... But in the twisty roads its fun, maybe 2 much fun...the fun part would be stopped pretty fast with a 160 hp or so... So what about a 84x94 stroker in a patina ghia vert? That would be fun? ... But the ghias tend to go pretty well even with a 1300 cc... And are fun to drive... Ok, i could try it in that ghia... First. With stock brakes, stock box etc...

But it would be pretty light... So it should be fast aswell! And if these will suck... Then the engine could go to the porsche 912. That would not suck at all...

Some basic info of the engine:

Scat 84 mm

Scat rods porsche bearings

Fk8 cam + straight cut gears

New stroker block from paruzzi

Aa-perf 94 pistons and barrels

Superflows with 48/38 valves

Pauter 1:3 roller rockers

Msd distributor

Carbs or 48 ida throttle bores...

Or a turboset... Will see...

X-mas coming... And coming ;-)

This time came some smaller parts, superflow-ida manifolds, oilpump cover with pressure valve and linkage, thanks for aircooled.fi! Looks great! Now i only need some 48 carbs. Whats next in line? The bearings etc from keiteleen kone. Then i would guess that its time for some serious assembly... Yikes!

Stroker project - for 2015?

stroker project - collecting more parts

Thanks to Rob Harris, i got some 94mm modular barrels from USA.
these looks pretty cool, and i hope my future stroker engine will be a bit cooler with these.
now i need some pistons, wiseco´s or mahles or some other good brand.
i still need a block, oxyboxer would be great, have to make a call to kangasniemi motorzentrum ;-)
or dismantle a running 1600 cc engine. if you have a spare stroker block 82x94, let me know.
actually this stroker setup is whispering.... nine-12 .... nine-12 ...nine-12...

well think about this, a 912 porsche with a 82x94-superflow screamer... bigger brakes, 17 inch fuchs-look-a-likes, lowered, but otherwise pretty much stock, would be a great driver... but that needs a long call to kankasniemi. ;-)

the stud

have to compare the stud spacing of the 

94mm superflows vs 4" angleflows

these angleflows has the A-RPM bolt pattern.

i would need a block that will accept the A-RPM patern.

looking good...

well it just looks great! especially in fredrikinkatu. next stop in krem-a-que, and helsinki cruising night. Also i feel a urge to start to build a stroker...for the parts in the shelf.

Darth waders ghia :-)

...just ready for the interior-shop...

...and now, its in the interior shop, 

this will be really prettyyyyyy!

or ...should we call it "urban-turban-ghia" ?

...the doctor evil is lurking out of the engine bay.

i wonder what the inpector will say? 

maybe it needs a layer of some thermo-tec?

ghia update - welcome to the the paint shop!

the black ghia update - from laitinen motorsport zentrum

yep, i couldnt make it there due to my illness, but mika my friend did, and took some picks, and also his daughter Linnea. thanks to them. i wanted to go to get some wibes of this, but its a looong drive for me, and looks like 60-70 kilometers drive is all i can do for now. long story but my heart sarchoidosis is giving me hard times. and especially the medication which is anything but nice... my feet are like balloons, and some fluids are coming through the skin...not so nice. + i´m totallly exhausted. but hey, lets concentrate to the dark side. :-) the black ghia. heres the engine, which will go to the engine bay, some brake parts, some picks of the engine cooling, yes the supaflows are wassercooled, and what else? well some brackets for the coil over suspension etc... wow. the body needs to go back to the painter, and the interior will be take its place in future... Pekka is the master, have to say.

lugnuts that looks great. :-)

minor setbacks with some tyre fitment,
but, what the hell, there´s coil-overs.

nice cable setup for the  carb. 

a breather that looks 220% business.

the chief himself. - and the mighty power house

discs with three bolt patterns, porsche, chevy and 5-100 mm

air vents for the wassercooled heads...
