57 Oval

[Diederick/DVK]

A dutchman called Henk with a 67, mmh never heard of. But i'm interested.

Lucky you! i know glenn he is the man for 010 but he is expensive too. 130 euros for a NOS 010 dist, you lucky bastard 
I wish i had found it, but then i haven't really looked for it either...

I noticed the new lever style, awesome!

Sorry, its Hans... not henk

[Diederick/DVK]

aha, thehanz? as of thursday he too is on here now 

[Turtle001]

indeed Hans .. my misstake 

[thehanz DVK]

hee so here is the oval where the vdo's are going to...looks nice 

[Diederick/DVK]

Peter, just wondering, i saw this pic again :



and is this both an oil temp and oil pressure sender?
what parts do it need for that?

and how's the oval coming along?

Yep it is!
You just need that little brass T-piece so you can mount that temp and pressure sender unit there. VDO has these...
I'm not sure where I got mine from (I geuss BBT) but they are easy to find!

[Diederick/DVK]

the brass t piece i can find here too (10 EUR)

but the senders you have are VDO senders?

Not sure if these are VDO senders? I had a VDO pressure sender, but I do not know if I used it on this engine or on the 1776cc engine...

Good news... a part of the SCAT order for my 2027cc engine arrived last week


the rods


The stroker crank


minii d-port heads, ported, 40 & 37,5 valves, dual springs






Kennedy Stage 1 clutch


Engle W110 cam


And 3 AS41 cases are a Steves VWshop for measuring

[peter - belgium]

Small local NewYears meet... it was fun to take the VW's out again.

The FlatLine lowriders (check http://flatline-lowriders.skynetblogs.be/ ) were represented by the Slambulance, Philips 66 looker and Kurts 67 standard Rag


Slammed suspension, but still comfy!! Casper fell asleep on the way over there








It was cool

Some more work done!

I took the body off the chassis and fixed it to the rotissary so I can weld/clean the underside!



bottom of the bulkhead


previous resto methode! Welding a patch over rotten metal


Removing the rotten metal




I made a new endplate for the heater channel


And a new support part for the threaded block




The bottom bulkhead part


right side


Primered the insides before I close it up forever!


By now it was thursdayevening 1:30am....had to get some sleep since 5 hours later I had to get up to go to work again

[peter - belgium]

What is a car with a ragtop and no pop-out windows....

Yep, just like a bar with no beer

Installing the rubber seal in the pop-out frame


The template I used for drilling the hole in the window posts

[peter - belgium]

The front wings are finished.
I primered the inside of the wing and the headlamp buckets

[peter - belgium]

Where to leave the chassis of the oval when the garage is getting a bit too full??

Right, above the SLAMBULANCE after some creative stacking of wooden blocks

[peter - belgium]

The bottom of the heater channel

again, the old patch over rust metode




more rot


and some cutting

[peter - belgium]

removing the bottom of the heater channel. Most of it was still OK, but I wanted to clean and paint the inside

[peter - belgium]

I inserted a reinforcement plate with a but to fix the SIMPSON seat belts

inside cleaned and painted


New bottom modified and primered


Yep, as always, junk repro needed different mods

[peter - belgium]

This needs to be closed up again








some more to do...[/quote]

[peter - belgium]

I had this lasercut in 3mm steel












Should make it easier to change spark plugs :lol:[/quote]

[peter - belgium]

I need your opinions!

Which front hood badge should I use??
The original style round one, or the DKP style one??

Them 4 longer tabs fold down to clamp it to the front hood...

Hi Peter!
Awesome what you are doin there...

Like your welding jobs 

Cheers,

[Sander/DVK]

What a detaisl!!
Very, very nice!

Keep up the good work

[peter - belgium]

It is not becasue the works on the oval body are not proceeding, I stopped collection parts...

Latest acquisition:  A genuine set of Italian made 48IDA's... They just arrived from the States:-)






This set has 37mm venturis, F11 emulsion tubes with 135mains. As Idle jet is has a 65F10 in a 120 holder... 
Does this sounds about right for a SCAT 78.8 * 94 engine with SCAT mini-D port heads?? As a cam I still need to decide, but I would prefer one from the Webcam range and to be used with standard ratio rockers and a 8.5 CR.

I would like to focus more on torque then on horsepower... I would like an engine in which I can drive to the VW nationals (500km single trip) or the VolksWorld show (400km) without second thoughts!

Any input is appreciated! Any engine combo's you know of I can compare with??

According to the Weber manual I should get an F7 emulsion tube and I really want the lower main jet holder so I can place the middle copper screens.

So, things I still need:
   4  F7 emulsion tubes
   4  low main jet holders
   2 copper screens
   2  low 48IDA manifolds (as the Berg manifolds)
If anyone has these for sale, send me a PM or mail !

See YA, Peter

Hi Peter, we have recently tuned my club mate Christian´s 2110ccm type 1 with a LM 1. If I remember correctly the jetting (we were looking for Lambda about 0,85) he now has is as follows:

- 48 IDA with 37mm venturis (no thrid progression hole drilled)
- 140 mains
- 220 air correction
- 70F? idle jets (were too rich, but we had no smaller jet...)
- F7 emulsion tubes

The engine has lots of torque with these jets but is lacking top end power.
Here are the specs:

- 2110ccm (76,4 waterboxer crank, 94mm notched P/C)
- 10.8:1 CR
- Street Eliminator heads, mildly ported, 42/37,5mm valves
- FK 87 with 1:1.4 rockers
- Udo Becker manifolds

I guess that your combo is similar to Christian´s combo so maybe his jetting is a good start for you...
Bye,

Tobi

Hi Tobi,

Sounds like the vents are holding your friends top end back. I would switch up to a 40mm vent and re-jet.

In my 2275

94X82
044 super mags (44X37.5) p&p by K-roc
web cam 86b with old school scat 1.25 (measure out at 1.38)
9.0:1CR
48 IDA's - ran both 37mm vents and 42mm vents - jetted with LM-1

With the 37's it went 14's at 90+mph in the quarter.

Switched out to 42mm vents went 13.4 at 102mph in the quarter

The car is a 54 sunroof (1900lbs with me in it) Stock 4.12 tranny only using 3 gears.

[peter - belgium]

Hey Tobi,

so no 3th progression hole drilled either? Mine have not been drilled sofar and the US dude has been driving like this on his 2,2engine (now he stepped up to 2,4 with 51IDA's)... so I guess I will not drill it immediately, I will see what it gives first.

I would not mind loosing a bit in the top end power, as long as the car has lots of torque and can cruise nicely but be responsve when I feel like pushing it! I'm not planning on building a 1/4mile racer, but a streetcar. I want to drive it!!
 

Rob, do you like the 86b or would you consider a diffent cam?? Any idea what the jetting in your carbs is??

Thanks guys for sharing your specs!!

Peter

PS: No 48IDA left overs  anyone??

[Tobi/DFL]

Hi Rob,

that´s just what we thought so next week the will be another jetting session...this time with 40mm vents.;-)

Peter, the 3rd hole isn´t drilled, yet. I wouldn´t recommend drilling it before you have done some test runs. If won´t get a good progression with differnet jettings, I would at first try other emulsion tubes. If that doesn´t work as well you can still drill the holes...
Hope that helps!

Tobi

HI Tobi,

I think you'll find the engine comes to life with the bigger vents.

Peter,

In the past I've used the engle 120 and 125 in my 1914's - They were nice. The 86b was recommended by the guy that did my heads (K-roc - in our club) It is a nice cam, comes on strong and pulls hard all the way up. The thinking is that for a street car with stock gears - a little less duration helps build more cylinder pressure and hence more torque. The heads help with the breathing up top so I don't run out of steam.

I do have the third progession hole. The jetting right now is F7 - depending on the track conditions I run a 160 or 165 main and anywhere from a 190 to 210 air.  Our track is near sea level. For idles I run a 120 air with a 65 - Bruce in our club recommends soldering up the 120 and then re drilling to a 110 or 115 - I still have to do this.

To give you an idea of the torque -



This is a 3500 - 4000 launch with out a burnout.

Damn that is nice! And you are doing that with a stock tranny, or is it a stonger gearbox, but with the standard ratio gears?? If it is a standard box, no fear of breaking it doing this?? Which shocks do you run up front?

I wanted to keep an original gearbox as well (at first anyway), but I as thinking of converting to IRS for several reasons:
-  I have a good 1303S geabox laying here, no decent SA gearbox (so nice highway cruising)
-  Handling due to IRS set-up
-  Easy to change gearboxes in case you break it (really important!), you do not need to touch the brakes while changing the box
-  Since I plan on driving it regularly on the streets and I want to run FUCHS wheels (4,5 and 6), the obvious choice for disks are Porsche 944 disks (super easy with these a-arms and cheap cmpared to other diskbrake converions)

I know, maybe not 100% in line with the cal-look theme, but I consider these important safety upgrades.... But I just need to check if the 6"FUCHS with 205 tyres will still fit the original fender with this IRS set-up...

Things to find out this winter

See YA

[peter - belgium]

Damn that is a nice sight


Comparison between the SCAT manifold and the CB's IDA manifold: big height difference!


Isn't there anyone who has the shorter Berg versions for sale? PM me!
