case assembly/conversion kit-----c.b cool tin-----dip stick temp sender-----pressure relief kit---- washingto anti shocker (attaches behind clutch arm

sometimes you just end up with more than you need (selling spares later)why three cams? turbo grind eagle, berg 300 (no ratio rockers) berg309/
V26engle (for ratio rockers) at this point i should state that most of this stuff was bought as a 1776 kit, a turbo kit was also purchased, had spares
from deceased 2180, and also bought some more stuff just because i wanted to do things other than what came with the kit. gears (top to bottom) magnum
straight cut alloy on steel (still attached to remainder of 310 cam)--- berg/magnum steel on steel straight cut with bolts and three sets of washers
for adjustable timing----berg nos helical gear----eagle adjustable timing helical gear and washers---also pictured timing gear kit (oil
slinger,spacer, timing gear,woodruff keys, new dizzy drive shaft, spring and shims, brass dizzy drive) ----spare brass gear and timing washers, so
when i sell spares it will be complete cam gear set up---new pressure plate bolts make guest appearence cos they missed flywheel pics, isnt it sad
when you loose the plot so bad that you by these justified by telling yourself they will fill a hole in the box your importing.
while i'm on the subject i have obviously been getting a bit from os and found it cheap and easy, last week $130au = $100us didn't cop any import
duties either, watch out for freight tho:duh

oiling;big sump over 6000rpm-- lil one for under 6k---oil thermostats, needed cb one to run braided lines (fittings)--oberg cleanable filter with

6 1/4 pound equilizer pulley, these are machined from steel bar--oil pump seal nuts and copper coated exhaust nut sets missed their fashion
shoot--super strength longer pulley bolt with large & small beville washers, tourque to 100 pounds! but check your crank quality first.

induction; dual 48mm dellortos with berg ball type fuel inlet valves installed (used) these reach full flow with minimum float travel, manifolds will
need match porting---holley fuel pump---mallory pressure regulator---spare cages for uni filters---K&N air cleaners, with tops tapped for breather
box--that oh so smooth berg linkage cured a miriad of problems when it replaced hex bar on previous motor:thumb

forced induction!, so thats why the idiots got three cams.
---IHI RHB5 turbo----intercooler----malpassi boost sensitive pressure reg---modulator rings, like velocity stacks but smaller only 31-36mm, used to
change air pressure at top of blo- thru carb under boost, thus float bowl and main gas jets to enrichen mixtures as boost comes on:jesus---rebuild
kits,two sets with rubberish gaskets again for life under pressure--just above the dellorto sticker are throttle shaft sealing o'rings to stop
fuel/boost escape again---turbo emulsion tubes, again boost, these allow running larger jets by leaning bottom and midrange passages--- 2.9mm ball
type needle and seats(berg)---quality gaskets---not going with turbo yet more parts and research needed

ignition; top--electronic ignition control module--jacobs omni pac computer coil, this thing uses the earthed out coil(at bottom) as a signal and
automatically adjust spark accordingly, no i dont get it either but it has provided years off service on a 2180, two 1300s and a 1640 and contiues to
blow rotor buttons apart so there is certainly serious sparks happening---fuse box bottom left:kiss

this is where we should end up. hope a few people take an interest in the process and offer advise/ encouragement along the way.will be posting
regularly as i get going, hope the administrators don't mind (u2u if so) . not sure who will be doing what at this stage, there is a wealth of talent
in this area, from stan the man to retired hellbug proprieters, others too and its always nice to do a bit yourself!
cheers everyone thanx for sharing this with me, i really needed to tell some people who should enjoy

What are the specs on the turbo cam and how efficient is that turbo, how much boost, when does it come on?
Thanks

the thing is tiny, so i believe early boost is a cerainty, i'm not aiming for ultra high boost levels, 15psi is possible. they came off
telstars/mazda 626, so it wont be as efficient as whats available now. internal wastegate. pretty sure its the same as what dave becker was running on
his oval a few years back and shimo has fiddled with these as well. a mate is turboing a fiat motor at the moment, and a visit to his house made me
realize just how tiny my turbo is, i'll get a side by side shot with his, it'll blow you away. hes running a 100mm throttle body on a four cylinder,
huge!!!!

Pete, carbs and turbo-machining the throttle shaft area is the only mod that could send them to the useless pile. the other stuff can be changed back.
if life was perfect, injection would be the go. the whole turbo thing is a serious commitment, i know. i'd still go for twin blow thru either way. so
hats and exhaust, inlet pipes,etc will be first on the list,whilst i think it over.motor will be run with out turbo initially.
cheers damien

how do you mean?
you've already got the manifolds, if you sold less than half the stuff you've got you'd have enough for a great computer and a set of throttle
bodies. Then all you gotta do is tune it. Just a thought

Pete, $$$ i mean.getting to the end of the budget for now.working on some one who is removing a pair of throttle bodies, another freind has suitable
injectors, so it might head off in that direction yet.got an estimate on how much its worth to go to injection? or who to contact?
thanks damien

as I understand it, the expensive bit is actually the dyno time. A good computer is only $1500. CBB now have a dyno, and they've done efi VWs before,
so might be worth talking to them. Another one is wayne penrose. His dragcar build up is in the Darg racing section at the mo. He could tell you a few
things.
But what it boils down to is this. Carbs are always gonna be limited and less precise than EFI. With carbs you might get 200hp at 6000revs, but not
much anywhere else in the reve range. With EFI you'll get as close to perfect tune as pos across the ENTIRE rev range, even with a very lumpy cam. It
also helps you tune better to avoid detonation, and that will really save you bucks.
