Richie: the AN fitting in the sump, is that the oil return from the Turbo?

No its the oil return from the filter,the filter head has a pressure valve in it that replaces the ones in the case and only supplies the engine with what it needs,any excess pressure[or oil] just goes straight back to the sump where its needed most,the turbo oil return will go into the type 3 dipstick block off plate as its then above the oil level with no restriction

Aaah - Nice setup with external pressure valve directly in the filter mount, and then drained to the sump!
You allready answered my next question, by telling me that the oil return from the hairdryer is going in ABOVE the oil level :-)

Thanks

amazing

Well it has been a while,due to the lbs/cubic inch rule here in the class I have been racing in this engine got put to one side to concentrate on my 2332,now with the season over I have got the 4inch bore engine back out again to finish it and get it running.
I have finished the header and trimmed the car a little more to make getting it in and out easier,i have to redo some intake pipes and move the chargecooler then it should be ready to start.
Hopefully sometime next week.Then to the dyno to see what it will do

Surely with your car being heavier than anything else you could run a bigger engine?   Really looking forward to seeing your car with the big motor. Are you doing any other changes to the car, or keeping it all as is?

[richie]

Well got some more done today,still got a few pipes to move or redo but its getting close

[58vw]

[richie]

[Patte]

It'll never run – you've left the Kadrons and the 009 off...

Richie,
Looking at your header design/lengths, I take it you believe an equal length header is also better for a turbo engine?

Tnx,
Walter

Hi Walter

I have tried too,
it is difficult to fit it in the car and to make numbers 1&3 be anywhere as long as 2&4,I made the one for my 2332 I have been running very similarly and it seems to work ok

Reckon you'll get it built & dyno'd before coming back home?
Looks good

Hi Kev,was thinking the other day how you have been quiet recently,must have been working to hard

That is the idea,to get it finished and dynoed and some miles on it before I am back,
I only have 4 days here next year before the first race so got to get everythin sorted before

cheers richie,uk

[kev d]

I don`t look at it as work mate, I`m helping fund world domination of old vw gassers
Off to Korea tomorow, seeya xmass time
Cheers,
Kev

[richie]

Well I did the exhaust today complete with muffler,also got most of the boost piping done,got one to weld up still and a pipe to add for the blow off valve,I had to move the chargecooler and plumbing to fit everything in so a couple more hoses to redo.Hopefully I will get all the oil lines and turbo oil return finished tommorow and see what else needs changing,but it is getting close now

cheers richie,uk

[Fiatdude]

Looking very nice and giving me some wicked ideas for my '56

[Airspeed]

Thanks for your reply before 

,
also this is the turbo I will be using,its a Turbonetics t72

cheers richie,uk

Richie,
See you have also changed turbos? The picture above is a Garrett right? What type and what considerations to change from the original plans?

Tnx,
Walter

Excited to see how the new engine performs, looking good

Hi Oyvind,no not in the forseeable future,with a race every other weekend here it is to much fun to bring it back and only have a couple of decent races per year to attend.I am planning on bringing a car to race at SCC this year,its not quite the same just helping others race, but that will be the only one in europe I think I will do in 2010 so it better be good


Walter thining about the turbo thing some more,the problem with taking to much time getting something finished and running is that your brain has more ideas and more options and improvements become available,I have to get this finished and running now as I already have version 2 in my head

Nice! 
Hope it`s turbo powered and does Richie-wheelies then. We`ll have the track ready for you!

Yeah, know what you mean. My engine is just (dyno'd last week) running really good as well (in my case 'just' 350 hp  ) and I also have already new ideas and even bought parts for an upgrade while I have not even ran it with this newly found power...

But don't be shy, what GTxxR is it? 40, 42 or worse?

Richie -- How are you firing the injectors since you are running 2 per cylinder?? Thanks Harold

Harold,
first set of 4 as required,then the 2nd set either over 85% throttle,10000 rpm[these 2 settings are adjustable in ecu mapping]
 or when the 1st set get to 50% duty cycle the 2nd set kick in
