The Cal-look Lounge

Hey guys,
I have a new project,
should be 80ies looker inspired when its finished
cheers, Peter

I allready did a hearttransplant  ;D

holy shit that turned out bad :)

cool, a KG is on my wish list for someday.
did you buy this one across your northern border? ;)

Yes,
Everything is better across the border :)

Are the floors that bad (flintstone)? When can we expect to see this baby on the road?

the floors and the heater channels have to be replaced,
but thats something for next year
first got to lower it, redrill the brakes for the wheels and do some welding on the body ;D

I hope you already went to the technical inspection with it this time?  ;D

nice car! I wonder what that engine does in a ghia ;D(hint) ;D
heard it driving a few times yet, sounds really awesome ;)
Kristof

no, i didnt go yet,
i have to weld a bit more first :)
but you have to make a testdrive to see everything works, right? :)

if you're doing the welding in the christmas holidays, then i can maybe help you. i can't weld, but the rest is no problem  ;)
(my christmas holidays start next tuesday)
Kristof

Hello Kris,
I might have to go to a friend to weld it (i dont have a welder )
but you re always welcome to stop by
my holidays just started :)

I already did some work on it..
made some mounts for the bucket seats
checked the electricity (what a mess )
and some other stuff

more

and a last one

now in the snow:)

This is going to be a great car for sure, wunderwaffe will rule the strip (or at least burn out trying)

Thanks Tim,
I am practiceing all ready :)

looks goooooood on fuchs, only need a rearbumper or valance. ;)
Kristof

Hi guys,
what about this?
Too big for a 2276 (redline 7000) ?

garrett TO4s (gt3076r)
-compressor: inducer 57mm
exducer 76mm
compressorhousing 60A//R

-turbine: inducer 64mm
exducer 56mm
turbinehousing 63 A/R

Thanks!

go go Peke! you'll rock this one

some very useful turbo info in this link: http://www.danallum.com/aircooled/forced_induction.htm
looks like you'll need the turbomaps to see if those turbo's are good

Thanks Kristof ;)

guys,
what do you think?

Hello guys,
I still cant forget the thought of fitting this turbo...
I figured because I have a heavy car now, and the room for it in the engine bay its a good idea..?
Does somebody know how much boost is allowed with pump gas with lets say a CR of 8.5/1 without intercooler?
The cost wouldnt be that high i think if I modify my 1 3/4 header and do some DIY?
i was thinking like a better clutch disc, turbo, piping, wastegate,..
Probably the fuel system has to be changed as well? I still have some extra injectors tha

I still have some extra injectors that i maybe could connect parallel to the ones I have now?
Hope I didnt bore you too much? :)

the amount of boost you will be able to run depends on the camshaft. more info in this link:
http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=106178 (http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=106178)
an intercooler will give extra horsepower with less heath (theoretically). you can run an air/air intercooler under the airvents, with some fans to suck air trough it.

oh, and you haven't metioned a blow-off-valve in your list ;)
Kristof

Thanks Kristof,
at least one person thats replies  ::) :-[
I ll take it to somewhere else; message understood

try posting in the pure racing section, i sure someone will help you out with your engine questions



Good luck

Thanks Ron,
I asked on STF  ;)

maybe he was thinking of an variabel geometry turbo!  :)

Philip

donder WTF? :)

did you make any pictures of the front yet? :)
Kristof

No, I drove it a bit today;
test drive for next week  ;)

 ;D ;D ;D
passed the belgian MOT today so me very happy!!
I am allready preparing it for ninove ;)

nice! C U there peter!

congratulations! I saw your car with it's back on a jack today. did you went for new reartires for the fuchs? :)
Kristof

See you sunday Peter!
Let me know when you will be rolling in...

oh and i'm going to ninove too, see you there ;) ;D

hey guys,
this is how she looks like right now;
Fabian took a nice pic of her :)
Thanks Fabian

Next items on the list is remove the turnsignals and interior,
and weld up the trim holes  ;)

;) 
my pleasure peter

fabs

2 more  ;)

and the rearviewmirror? :D ;)

@ Kris: taken care of that :)

I have been annoyed by an oil leak coming from the pulley for a long time now;
time to change now that i have a new pulley:
I had to modify it a bit though:
medieval technique: the file, after making the initial cuts, i found a dremel,
works much better; so heres the result:
dont mind the dust on the motor, its being cleaned :)

daamn, those yenveys look cool with stacks  8)

Kris, when are you home, i will pass by if you have time

took a drive today, and no more leak :)

 ;D
better, no?

got some new parts  ;)

and i m thinking of buying this:

 ;D ;D

why still thinking  ???   ;)

I would like a ZF as well :)
hard to choose

working on the trans...

nicee, new parts ;D, right on time for the long weekend. are you working on it tomorrow?  ;) :P

How about an update, Peter!
You were making real nice progress :)

all I know is that the zf is installed and drives nice ;D

hey guys,
thanks for the interest,
I will probably race in Spa
tomorrow I hope to get the adapter kit for the line lock and  have it installed by tomorrow evening.
Yesterday I hooked up an additional oil cooler because the engine was gettin a little hot on the freeway,
I ll see you guys in Spa?

Nicolas took a pic in Spa from me in my car.  :D
Thanks Nicolas!

Funny sidenote from Spa:
i installed an lsd some time ago, and i like to use it :)
so on show and shine area in Spa, there are these nice steel covers,
If you drive over them in a normal way; no problem;
but sideways while U turning tends to cut 3 inch holes in the tires  :o
luckily this was on saturday, so the tire shop was open..
great start of a weekend :)

:o do you still have that tires, I wanna see them  :D

Hehe Kris, No I left them there :)

And I don't think hard starts on a rough concrete road did the tires well ::) :D

Winter plans  ;D ;D ;D

the crazy monkey of the club

 ;)

nice winter plans :-)

Cool. If you go draw thru with a carb, ditch that Y pipe and gat a T one.

thanks guys  :)
Yvre, I will keep the FI  ;)
I want to thank Kalle also for all the advice he gives me..

P

for the specs:
bought a cb 2289 cam in the past and at that time i wanted to keep the motor NA,
but after advice from Kalle, I will use it for the turbo,
I also have some wisecos that will be dished to drop the CR
and i found a wastegate, waterinjection  and bov in holland,
so i hope i can put it together soon :)
I dont know about the header yet, cut it up and reweld it, or for the time being, just make a pipe to the turbo

Cut and reweld!! Just tack it in place and I'll weld it up for you...

It is looking promising and I just wish I had that much room in my car. You could "easily" fit a intercooler in there as well to bring your charge temp down.

Keep on with the good work!

Best rgs
BB

hey Kalle, thanks,
I know there is a lot of space,
and for performance an IC would be better,
but i just hate the look of them, not to mention all the extra tubing i would need  :)

it would be cool to have an intercooler with one inlet in the middle and 2 exhausts on the sides. no extra tubing needed. in voksworld 12/2007 there's a nice example of it on a lowlight.

 ;)

It was an example at least... nice.... well...  ::)

Why is that? I'm no turbo guy, just curious.

Apparently a T "crushes" the fuel droplets and allows "better" mixture.
