Title: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 10, 2019, 20:46:48 pm Well it was about time I started to put the orange ‘street beast’ back together.
So just checking over some tolerances! Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Chris bugster on July 11, 2019, 14:49:01 pm Great to see her still looking good after all these years.
Wishing you new PBs. Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Neil Davies on July 11, 2019, 17:31:23 pm Superb. It's been far too long since I've seen this car thrashed down the strip!

Post by: Paul Bate on July 11, 2019, 21:38:03 pm Nitrous again,or other plans? Henk!!! Hello Henk, yep still going to run the blue bottle but I have some developments that I need to test/confirm 😉 Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: BeetleBug on July 12, 2019, 09:31:37 am Hi Paul,
I’m so happy to see your updates here on The Lounge! Many many years ago you convinced me to go nitrous and once you have started with supercharging there is no turning back. So will you use a nitrous controller again? Starting with a modest shot of the line and gradually increasing the amount of gas and fuel during the run? Looking forward more updates! Best rgs BB aka Kalle Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 12, 2019, 17:37:15 pm Hi Paul, I’m so happy to see your updates here on The Lounge!

Best rgs BB aka Kalle Hello Kalle, Glad you liked my way of thinking 😂 yes I’ll still be running the controller. But I want to get a lot more street driving done, I’ve really missed driving about!! All the best Paul Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 12, 2019, 17:42:01 pm Heads all cc’d !!
Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: BeetleBug on July 13, 2019, 08:55:24 am I hope it is OK that I share my nitrous dyno graph with you and the rest of the guys. 2332, CB Comp E by Jeff Denham, FK47 cam, 51 IDA’s.
[attachment=1] After this I started having issues with my clutch. I did not use any sealer between the wedgemated flywheel and the crank so tiny amount of oil leaked through. It was sounding really fresh on nitrous and my initial plan was to gradually increase the nitrous up to 150 - 200 hp. Today I would have used injection and let the ECU do all the needed adjustments. After this I invite Richie with friends to our summer cottage and that was that... turbo ever after. -BB- Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 13, 2019, 21:07:13 pm Hello Kalle,
Nice, how much nitrous were you running? Kind regards Paul Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: BeetleBug on July 14, 2019, 09:03:35 am Calculated approx 75hp. I used a single jet system with a distribution fitting for both the fuel and the nitrous. Two crappy quality Holley pumps with a dedicated pump for the nitrous system including a in-line Hobbs switch.
If I was to build a new nitrous engine I would just use a dry shot and let the ECU add the needed fuel and remove timing. -K- Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 14, 2019, 20:17:55 pm Hello Kalle,
Must say I also use two Holley pumps which have been ok so far! Paul Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Cornpanzer on July 16, 2019, 02:09:06 am Very cool!
Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 16, 2019, 19:12:52 pm Very cool! Thanks Dave, I hope you’re well more coming soon ;) Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 22, 2019, 22:12:49 pm Camshaft arrived today from the maestro himself JMP Sweden.
Absolutely quality parts! Instagram: flatfourperformance_vw Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Airspeed on July 23, 2019, 09:54:44 am Which one from JPM did you end up with?
Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on July 23, 2019, 17:38:08 pm Which one from JPM did you end up with? I’ve done some developments on the heads and sent the flow numbers to Johannes. He has kindly done a one off grind to match the requirements 👍 Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress!

Now to send off for balancing! Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: jay c on August 08, 2019, 13:17:12 pm Who do you use for your balancing Paul?
Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on August 08, 2019, 20:38:12 pm Hello Jay,
I hope you’re well mate. I use a place in Surrey called Roland Allsop Engineering. Paul Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: jay c on August 08, 2019, 20:57:01 pm Thanks Paul. Yeah not doing too bad mate. Quite difficult finding a good machinist and balancer that is trustworthy to do a good job. Glad you’re getting the car back out there
Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on August 08, 2019, 21:30:26 pm Glad to hear it Jay,
Yes it’s hard to find good companies! Must say I’m looking forward to getting it back on the road! Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on September 12, 2019, 01:15:01 am Final assemble now done and now in the car.[attachment=1] should be back on the road tomorrow 👍
Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on September 14, 2019, 07:22:00 am Yesterday took the car out on the street for its first outing after building the new 2332cc engine.
Brand new bottom end after a bugpack flanged crank failure. New Scat 84mm installed being a much better quality. A little 80 mile round trip dropping off parts to Mr Phil of the West & Mr John Brewster of JB’s Elite fabrication. She ran beautifully, video on Instagram flatfourperformance_vw [attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3] Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: NoBars on September 17, 2019, 13:30:58 pm Love this car, Very influential to me. I'd love to see how the rear bodywork attaches to the car.

I'd love to see how the rear bodywork attaches to the car. Hello Anthony, I hope you’re well mate. Kind words thank you 👍 There’s a plate welded to the inside of the bodywork. Which has holes with 4 nuts welded to the inside. Then you can slip the back end of and bolt together. Makes it a dream to work on 👍 All the best Paul[attachment=1[attachment=3] Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Eddie DVK on September 23, 2019, 07:45:33 am Final assemble now done and now in the car.[attachment=1] should be back on the road tomorrow 👍 Paul, for what do you use the full trottle switch placed on your manifold? Looks intresting :D Regards Edgar Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress!

Post by: TexasTom on January 14, 2020, 20:47:31 pm Looking really nice, PAUL!
Can't wait to see the smoky burnout and then wheels in the AIR!!! Enjoy it over there! TxT Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on October 29, 2020, 17:34:06 pm Last weeks testing 200 mile round trip, if you know me you know it’s the only way I roll 😉 not a full pass as you can see by the terminal speed but the 1/8 mile is the best it’s run! Only got one pass on nitrous but I was a good one & with a PB to take home 😉
[attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3] Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: leec on October 29, 2020, 17:37:53 pm Congrats Paul, that's awesome ;D
What do you think it would have run if it was a full run, 10.4? Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: Paul Bate on October 29, 2020, 17:51:18 pm Hello Lee,
Faster/Quicker 😂 I’m not sure tbh & I don’t like to speculate you need the ticket first everything else is just hot air and noise😂😂😂 That said potentially there’s a good 10 in there 😉 All the best Paul Title: Re: Orange ‘Street Beast’ making progress! Post by: leec on October 29, 2020, 19:09:17 pm Either way, it's good to see you and the car back out :)
