Re: crazy frog beef up the engine

[mr horsepower]

Hi loungers here s a little update,i redisigned the rearframe for the auto trans and make some brackets to hook it up
i also rebuilded the autotrans and modifid it.
Everything sits in place now it was a lot of cutting and grinding.
The converter is send to a partner  he is going to rebuild it for higher stall speed about 4000 rpm s
Next to do is install the shifter and rebuild the brain of the box and install a transbrake .
Therefore i am going to use a linelock solonoid .
I hope you enjoy the pics.

Hi today i was realy happy i recieved my 2 kirkey racing seats and interior parts and droped them right in .
my goal is to build a pro street racing interior.
I also modified the rollcage this week to fit the second seat .
the most of the cutting is done now its going to look like a car again i am happy with the result so far and this is just the begin .
and i still like my 1966 buick wildcat steeringwheel
I hope i can cruise on the streets again this year.

So an update again for who s interested.
I picked up an old beetle and kut out the rear end of the body.
Then y started to drill all the fucking spotwelds out .
Then i sandblasted the rusty section of the body parts and welded the rotten spots.
And then i welded the left inner fender back in the car and connected the rollcage to the body.
thats all for tonight dudes.

Holy crap, BRAVE MAN !

[fredy66]

Way cool man

[mr horsepower]

Hello today i was working on the car again did some welding grinding and cutting
But finally i was there to fit the engine and autotrans in to the car and ,It fits!!!!!!
I placed the fender and decklid and it closed like it was original ,.
Next to do is to finish it of.
Its going to look like a bad ass streetcar
I also got hold of a original 1960 cadillac brake pedal from a customer who s trans i rebuilded he had a spare nice!
I am a happy man .
enjoy the pics.

So today i made an rpm pick up bracket and installed the tooth disc aswel.
This week i did some shoping for al the electric for the engine managment system .
Its getting there.

Hi today i did some mock up for the altenator and trottle system ,i am pleased with it
The engine is realy gona look like a bommer .

So today i made an rpm pick up bracket ...

Good progress Henri!
I would however try to fixate the bracket on 2 points instead of only one it now seems to be. These brackets must be super stable or you may get errors on the sensor.

[mr horsepower]

Hey Walter there is second fixation connected to the oil pump  but you cant see it in the pic .
its stable enough do .
I am trying to get everything right , and i am not in a hurry but it wil run this summer.
my goal is that when i drive it out of my ched it has to work , i want to drive and not wrenching this summer.

I am getting there

that's a crazy ride, henri! 

[mymedusa]

damn, i can't see how that trans will perform.

but one question, you really want go blow through with that supercharger and is there a reason for that?

[mr horsepower]

Yes the reason is that when its pull trough the mixture will be beaten by the blender effect of the worm wheels and separate the fuel form the oxygen ,and thats bad for engine performance and engine life .
Intercooled efi is the way to go for me.
And i like the fast boost reaction of the charger ,it wil go on boost as soon as i hit the trottle.
So no spooling the turbo up anymore as i have a small engine 1.9 this is the best for me.
i am gaining for a 300 hp at the crank but its a long way ,the torque wil be a more great issue because its there as i blimp the pedal.

[mymedusa]

thats not that bad, the heat will vaporise the fuel and the mix is good as well.
but in a efi you have no fuel there. and boost respons is also 1:1 with gaspedal in a draw through.
why i ask:
in blow you will need a huge blow by system and the supercharger has alot of parasitic when going from the throttle that will make alot more heat.
draw through with bypass is the best way to go with supercharger. but on the stripe it doesn't matter. on the road it will run colder. what ind of bypass want you use? a sec. throttle like g40 g60 engines or a vacuum tin style?

but definitly yes to the all time torque...i love my daily driver 30ps engine. 150nm from 1700-3000rpm and 70hp at 3900rpm out of close to stock 30hp heads with 1200cc that is torque like a stock 2.0 typ4 . i bet you will have alooooot of  torque down below.

have fun

Great work on this Henri, a really interesting read.

Here is a video of a 10 sec. turbo car with a bus automatic trans.

I recieved my new shifter today and it rocks!!
And i need to do some mods on the valvebody for the autobox to make the transbrake work .
Cant wait to make my first burn out muscle car style.

[mr horsepower]

Hey today i  worked on the hurst pistol grip shifter for the car .
i soon finded out that the geometrie of both the roosters waren t equal .
so i made a test stand and recalbrated the shifter cable and the roosters .
then wen that was working i figurde out how to make the brackets for the cables and holders .
and this is the result .
it shifts like a real pro.
and the neutral lock out is on the right spot

enjoy gr henri  

[mr horsepower]

Hey today i worked on the brake pedal set up for the autobox.
I must say i am happy that i don t have to work in that little corner again but i am happy with the result

enjoy

hr henri

[Diederick/DVK]

nice!

[mr horsepower]

Hey i also made a new battery box for my optima batery  in the nose of the car .
yeah no more emty battery s for me and lots of crancking power
The list of things to do is getting shorter i hope in the winter to get to the finish and detailing parts i can t wait.

enjoy gr henri

[mr horsepower]

So time for an update of my little green race car.
today  i finaly got the supercharger fixed on the engine and the belt in line we made alloy brackets to hold it in place  the result is good the blower sits perfectly.
Next to do is to fit the manifold and weld the pipes in place ,and work on the belt tension system ,
and then fix the altenator brackets .
And finaly make everything nice and shiny ,polishing al the aloy brackets  

I took some pics today enjoy

[Black Sheep]

Nice work Henri , that looks hard as nails 
 I really like guy's who go their own way , can't wait to see all this come together and put a quick time down .

Hi guys  today i worked on the dash i decieded to by myself some new autometer gauges like.
Engine oil press
engine temp
Transmission oil press
Transmission oil temp
I needed space to build them in and so i can have a good look to it
I decieded to use a original black dash cover and i most say it looks good as the whole interieur is going to be black
that looks good in a daily/strip car

the work for today is mock up so its not ready yet
I am happy with the trans gauges so i can monitor what the trans press is doing vs trans temp.
I took some pics enjoy

[mr horsepower]

Hi today i worked on the trottle linkage and manifols and belt tension system .
the linkage is working now and finished.
 i had to make some tubes of alloy on the lath to fit in the manifold to suport it when the bolts are torqed its a nice tight shiny fit but you never see it but its al in the details.
the belt tensioner is also ready now i can order a belt,
next to do is welding the alloy pipes from the manifold to the tbi s.
enjoy the pics
its getting there .
tomorow i am recieving my last autometer gauges an can i fit them
gr henri

[Harry/FDK]

Henri, you spend a lot of money on the Optima. Keep it charged all the time or it will die soon. Get yourself a CTEK battery charger.You will not regret it.
Just my 2 cents.

[mr horsepower]

Hi Hary ii have two opima s that are on low volts  the are from the same used batch as the two good ones .
can recharge them with that charger?

gr henri

[mr horsepower]

Hey i did some work today .
Ill changed an old autometer shiftlight to a oilpress warning light.
I noticed that many race car engines have a to slow working oil press sender and when an engine comes in the shop .
With all the bearings eaten out the costumer says ,but the light didn t come on!
Its important to have a quick working oil warning light

And a customers project went on the dyno this week we did the tranny engine and rear axle.
It pulled 381 rwhp and loads of torque .
Hit the throttle at 50 kmh and you can buy new rear tyres
just wanted to share the project because i think its a realy nice restored 65 gto

Yes, these chargers are perfect just for that. (killing the crystals in the batteries). If Optimas hate on thing, it's being sitting unused on the shelf.
