Here a few of my 2303cc motor in process to in the car........ ;D Just a few. ::)

Just a few more....... 8)

Just a few more and thats it.......... ::)

I just added a cow magnet to one of my engine's pick-up tubes.  Who did the head work?

Those heads are V7's from Fred Simpson @ Performance Tech. 44X37. They are my back up heads, waiting for my new heads from Fred, 46X36.

Ted

Stellar...I've always heard & seen the quality of Fred's work.  I went with Clyde.

Hey Udo, Thanks, I do drive it on the street, but the car is NOT a daily driver, just events, cruz nights. Have no issues, not yet, hope I don't.

Ted

AssHull's 1915. Probably be a 2054 before long ::) ;)

Any feed back on the GBE sump..

I'm happy with mine.

I was referring to the photo of the Doug Bergs custom made 3.5 sump w/wind -thru -windows.. ;) 

my old 1776 in 2003....

Here's my new motor waitin to be fired up...soon I hope ...!!....Minus the CB Breather ..! Also Many Thanks To Mr.Ted "racecraf" Domingez

Good eye.  Yeah, it leaked and is being replaced.  Looks cool though, but unsure if it would actually provide any additional cooling.

Lots of eye candy in here... lol ;D  I wish I would have some spare time open up and some warmer temperatures so I could get out, clear out the garage and try to start making headway.


Upon looking at some of the engines in this thread, I was wondering do those off-the-exhaust stud oil filter mounts fit in full-bodied cars?  I'm intrigued and interested in this set up, just wanted to know if it would be viable in a street car.

On my 66 it's real close and there had to be brackets to drop the mounting holes down, I will be swapping to something like this when I have the chance.

Here's the powerplant in my '67.

Mine's hung on 2 bolts through the fenderwell.

Glen thats porn  ;D

here's my turbo turd...  well now it's in the process of a little efi  :o
 (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/710009.jpg)

Hey Art, the one in the picture must have been one Doug did at later date. He originally made 2 custom sumps when I was working there. He got 4 sumps, 2 were scrap. From 2 sumps he made 1 DEEP sump with square type tubes that went through. Bill got one for his car when it was there at Bergs when Doug was working on it. The idea was more capacity of oil, and better cooling with the tubes. Get ahold of Bill or talk to Mark V. The other sump IS at bergs. I believe they ran it on Dee's motor on her 67', but not quite sure. It is pretty trick.

Ted

That sump is on the engine in the pic's, and those pic's are taken at GBE.  The sump leaked when it was dyno'ed at GBE. 

Might sell it, but I'll have to take a look at it again   

wow that turbo engine of yours looks really good Kalle!

and does the GBE engine have layed-back manifolds it looks like it but i want to be sure. can someone tell me if IDF manifolds with 48 IDFs or Dellorto's will clear a late-model coolhouse? or what needs to be done to either?

Manifolds are Skat-Trak

Ahhhh, good to see a turbo engine and good luck with your efi/ecu build. Every good engine needs efi/ecu  :)

Thanks, nothing wrong with those carbs, ran great.....just a bit bored I guess :P

Need to tidy it up over winter… :(

glad you mentioned it yourself keith, it does look a bit messy!

;)

Agreed... there's a dirt spot on the shroud.


Oh wait... the dirt is on my computer screen.

I had to cut the fender well and notch mine to make the Jaycee mount fit. We then had to make an extension about 6-7" out for the filter to rest at an appropriate place

It's the wiring I hate – and the unequal fuel lines! >:(

1956cc

 Hey Ted- I also did notice it on Ole's race ca might be the say as Dee's..I will talk to Mark or Doug next time around...

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/brokencrank.jpg)

Two piece crankshaft :o

What are the plans for the rebuild?

 86 x 94  10.5 to 11.0 to 1   FK46 

!!! whats up your sleeve buddy? 8)

With matching 2 piece camshaft !!    . . . . .   OUCH !!! :o

All that effort, DAMN.

  it is what it is... this engine took about 3 yrs of major abuse and it gave up.  This happened several months ago at irwindale.

  Eric nothing up my sleeve bud just having fun.

  And the cam is three piece thank you...

Jason, are you already torturing a new combo ???

Regards,
Harry

  no, new engine is not done yet.  Hopefully sometime early part of 2011.

   

Thats the name of the game :)

Another welded crank?

the latest 2165cc

Hey Art, the sumps I'm talking about were deeper, Doug sectioned 2 sumps to make the deeper sumps. The sump in the pic below, if you notice is STILL a 3 1/2 qt sump, the 2 that I'm talking about is almost as deep as the 4qt sump. Lots of oil. But remember, those tubes takes away oil for tubes with air. Would be interesting how this version will work on the street with the air going through. I would talk to Doug or Mark, Bill Boa (can't remember his last name, you know him) the guy in Nevada has one unless he sold it. He's in DKP II I believe. Maybe if he sees this post he'lll chime in. Always like that idea of those 2 vented sumps. Any vented sump, if it works.

Ted

So The Action Is Go, what the specs of your motor, what kind of numbers did ya get on the GBE dyno? Like the set-up, very old school. When you get it in the car, let us know how it worked with that sump, would interesting to find out.

Ted

The earlier/old school the better.  The only change to the engine is it will have a generator.     

82 x 90.5 wedgemated Berg
Carrillo rods
K-10
Berg 50's

Gary only did a few passes and best was 198hp with 010 point float (before the Stinger ignition).  The sump was leaking from one of the tubes so it was plugged.  Haven't looked at it since.       

I see you have one of those trick 2 piece racing cranks!  ;)

Great thread.... I must study this in detail!

WOW, what a bitch ! Kinda weird it split down the middle. But it was probably a kick in the ass fun while it lasted !! I just gotta ask, Who did the crank ? and anything saveable??

hey ted, it's bill rodgers. DKP 2,  yes , doug made my sump a while back. Ran it with my 2332 k10. Holds a ton of oil , well over 4 qrts, can't remember exactly. Cooled/worked well . New motor, same clyde heads. 2442 fk46 cam. dyno time only, 181 hp, uncorrected, w/belt and muffler, at 4800 ft elevation. 9-1. went to 1 5/8 exh from 1 3/4, do to altitude here......I think doug said he made 4 sumps total, thought he said he pressure tested them all..See him next weekend, will ask ?? bill

oops, better sump pics.. bill

oops again, wrong apron shot, dam..

Hey Bill, how ya doing?? When I was there, I thought he made 2? Unless he made 2 more after I had left, or just wasn't paying attention. Hows the car itself coming along? That pic of your motor, is that now or before? I knew it was deeper. Anyway, you take care, talk ta ya soon.

Ted

ted, motor pics are 2442. thing shroud, going with compufire ign , coil pack out of eng compartment, plug wires thru firewall. pics to follow are of ken tabers duck hunting vw shop/ranch in stillwater nv. ken is good freind of bergs thru the years, retired dentist. His vw thing has a 2386 fk41 motor, beehive spring with berg bus 5 speed in it. Mud covered baja has a 20 plus year old 2332 fk65 with bus gear reduction box. ranch truck . ken recommended the fk65 cam spec to gene along with the k10 years ago.Shop has stutska dyno, flow bench ,hoist, etc other half of shop is for gun reloading etc. His air duck boat has a special designed 2332 vw power plant. One smart guy...Great cook too, has a restaurant grade kitchen set up in his ranch house. AND.... the patience to help me build/dyno my first motor... bill

Love the sump..When can I buy one?   I've always been a sucker for 1920's technology  ;)

Just an ordinary 1915cc callook street engine...

A work in progress.

Is it Form follows Function or vice verse?

  Zach,  no new crank will be Bugpack forged.

  Danny,  Internals are all done, heads are ok though.

4 Inch bore   ;)

Man that has more plumbing than an entire Home Depot store!  ;D

Here it is : http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,6584.0.html

Here is my street engine.
There is still some plumbing to do, but its getting there.

Cassa, looks impressive.... tell us more about it please.  8)

Thanks!
I started on this engine some 10 years ago, then got tired of the VW-scene and put it away, found new spirit some years ago to finish it. Mostly done in my small shed :-) A little cold now so I moved it indoors..
Its a 2387 based on a WBX case, with an old Pauter crank and Crower rods . Old S/F heads modified for turbo. Turbo spec cam by Skinne, TWM 55mm throttle bodies, dual watercooled intercoolers. 1600cc injectors for E85.
Built for the street with Drysump, piston oil squirter's, full cooling with internal vanes, and so on. but will see the track!
Smallish turbo compared to many racers...  ;D

Say Bill, is that the firewall that Andy (RIP) did for ya back when?

Ted

ted, yep. Andy set a curtain rod with holes drilled in it, using it as a  fence/template then using the drill press by hand pressure with a burnishing bit.Took about 4 hours, made a few mistakes, but luckily they are low and behind shroud. Very patient man Andy was.

My new 2027 engine  ;D[attachment=1][attachment=2]

What is the ignition set up?

On my engine?

It is a DEANO dissy and a FRUFRIX coil (works like the one for the judson), but made in germany........Old school[attachment=1]

Bitchen!  Do you have a shot of the inside of the distributor?

This is also a nice engine , i like it  :D . It is from our black 67 but with new paint and in another car
