Hello very nice work !!

Question: do you have any pictures wehre i can see the fan? is your fan welded and did you balance it as acomplete kit with the crank?
I am buiding at the moment a type3 1776 for my seeblau 1965 notch

Thank`s guys.

@Dem: Long axles with 5.5 ET 25 all around and edge flanged fenders  Roll Eyes Front 195/45R15 rear 195/50R15. The old resto days many went thru before seeing the light...  Grin
With some higher ET 40+ wheels you will not have big problems...

@Achim: Nice. What heads will you run?
The fan is welded and everything balanced. IF I remember correctly it was balanced alone and with the crank.

Work was done by Wittkuhn Tuning/Essen
http://www.wittkuhn-tuning.de/

The 1776 I had before didn`t had a welded and balanced fan which even worked for the revs that were possible.

Thanks Felix for the pics and tipps

I will run Mini "D" Port Head's from http://www.brothersvwmachineshop.com/heads.htm with 42/37,5 Valves and a Pauter 304°Cam with Scat lifters and 44 Weber IDF .
I use a AS original case and original crank.....
Do you think it is not necessary to weld the fan (because of the lower fan rpm in type3) ?

have a nice day achim

IT RUNS  Grin

what more could be said? See you at Dragday!

maybe some small things to show...

I didn`t want to go with the cheapish empi oil cooler so I bought a racimex style plate type cooler. Much more effective in comparsion to the tube style empi one.
Made an alu-airbox for the oil cooler to grab some air thru. The cooler fits in the spot very tight I may spended more time in thinking and measuring than building the box...Works very nice. So far I never got over 85-95°C. One thing to look at is when the engine is hot driven over the autobhan and a traffic jam appears.







A thing I did notshow.Drain back line from the head 3/4th cylinder into the case. Soo nice you can adjust valves without flodding the header at the 3/4th and should even help to get the oil back were it belongs when reving high.



double nut solution for mounting the racetrimcovers. I had a problem with one long 13mm nut before at the 1776cc. So the big 15mm nut for holding the rockers and the tiny one for mountig the valvecovers.



That`s how it looks now:
Linkage is self made pull tye style one using an original typ-3 linkage shortened and an lever I got from an other linkage which runs in an alu bushing.





Cam is "broken in" and the first 200km are done. The first drives I made in the Harz. A small bedrock. Low revs and high load to get the piston rings set.
Drives very smooth even at the low rpms. After the first 500km the rev limiter will be removed and I will see what potential the engine got, and of course what time on the 1/4 at DDD.

One problem is exactly the same I got even with the 1776cc. At middle revs and constant gaspedal position the car runs way too rich. I will install a pressure regulator and check the float hight maybe the carbs are overflodding.

So some small things to do on the car like installing the hurst line lock, swaping to late black/white instruments and so on.

As said: See you at Dragday!  Grin

@Achim: I think the fan is more stressed when the engine is ideling fast as the fan could not slip as on an upright engine and gets the vibrations direct from the crank. I would do it. Hey why not invest in an 78 crank? Your heads will love a bit more cc.

Looks very nice :-) Even better would b alittle sound from a video... Will try to manage it to come to DDD and see it live .
Had the same "problem" with 2 different sets of IDA`s on three different engines , too. But for me it never was a problem , hit the pedal sometimes and the problem was solved ;-) . I think it is a general problem of the IDA carbs , maybe they are not made for "cruising" !?!? More for pedal to the metal...

Hey guys thank ya all for the kind coments!
It`s really nice to sit behind the wheel after a year. Feeled like a decade...

@Dirk: I will be there at friday and will follow your invite. Thank`s! Really looking forward to DDD#8!
At the moment I am watching an DDD#1 footage. Boy what has the event grown. The first on was little but very special with so nice cars.
Really odd to see my ride with the cromies and back down at the vid. To me it looks like an complete other car.

@Carsten: Yeah more a full throttle gasser. But I think there must be a solution. It`s just air,fuel and holes...
Maybe other emulsion tubes will make a difference or a bigger air correction to get more air thru. I will try some combos and report.
I even do the pedal limbo to get around the problem, or more pedal to the metal...

congrats with a great build and a nice trophy.
I was wondering with the fan balanced like you did, what are the maximum save revs for your engine.
Thinking of building a race type three engine and I'm not sure about the cooling.
thanks

Hi everyone,

been a bit busy in the last days...

Thank you very much for all the compliments here and I got at the DDD8. Mann I was blasted away  Shocked
It`s very interesting how many people read and browse thru the lounge!

DDD8 was such a perfect weekend! What a good meeting.
Especially for me personaly as I drove into the 13`s (13,92 sec at the 4 th run/1st run was terrible) the notch did 1000 km`s with only 1 problem and of course the trophy I dreamed of many nights Wink

Thank ya DAS for chosing me!

That was the problem that occured on the way to DD8.One muffler broke away although it was supported at the end:


And it happend 10min before all shops close. Lukyly I found a Volvo shop which welded the muffler on for me. As you can see the welding was done by a good of metal  Roll Eyes He even didn`t want to remove the muffler for final welding at the back...But I removed the muffler and he welded as good as he could.
Very interesting is that I took about 1- 1 1/2 hours to make both mufflers in the accurate angle and distance. And he just welded it on...
BUT it worked even the way back after DDD8 so I will not blaspheme more.

I hope to make the notch run mid 13`s which will be possible hoply. I didn`t start that hard to go easy on the trans and the engine didn`t rev that high. And a pair of slicks are wating to turn again...

More updates will come!
All I could say so far is: Happiness is a hot VW    Grin

Best greetings and have fun,
Felix

Sorry I don`t know the max. revs it could make. Till yet I reved up to 7400 1/min.What cc you are heading for?

We'll be building a 1835 turbo. 7400 rpm will be plenty. because off the turbo it wont have to make too many revs.

Moddified the bearings as berg suggested (I even have seen this mod at factory made BMW boxer engines)


Hi Felix,

could you explain, what advantages these modifications have ?
Your cam-gears look modificated too !?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
the tangs are there to get more oil flow thru the bearings and mainly to oil the bearings axial.
That reduces the axial wear from bearing to crank and cam.
The cam bearings even have those tangs.
Tangs are on both side of the double thrust cam bearings and on one side of the main bearing (axial load side).
As said you can even see that trick on the nice feature of gary bergs car and on BMW motorcyle engines. I always like to compare and look at the BMW engines for details.

Greetings,
Felix
