hi , i had that crank in a similar motor, a bit more hypo tho. the dowels in the crank are smaller than most similar cranks and mine twisted out in a short time. i had it drilled for wider deeper dowells and it was fine from then on. were u recommended to drill the dowels before u started
turboboy 路
Howdy
Yes Berg recomended it , they are only deeper ( longer) not wider
It all so has Raceware studs and Berg straight cut gears

very nice, is it goin in a fiberglass buggy

we have a similar motor in our car.
there is going to be a lot of Holley Turbo bugs on the track soon.
Here is ours

I hope so! My new combo is pretty similar but with a turbo grind 120, scat flanged crank, 94mm bore,same heads bigger valves, bigger turbo, bigger holley and more comp! Although it is strictly a race motor! Should be a ripper motor for a buggy! Talk about loose!
hellbugged 路
Looking good
... Don't look like berg rockers tho
turboboy 路
Yep glass body , Taipan
Your right with the rockers, well spotted . Yes they are EMPI's ,my mistake sorry 馃槉
Nice build should be fun in a light buggy, 1.25:1 with W120 is ok, just run it.
turboboy 路
Dave Kawell said it's close to a FK 45 which he uses on some motors , that with the 1.25's with the 120.
So that's where I got the combo
So that's cool we'll see how it goes
So many choices, so many combo's
fish26 路
Dave Kawell also had input towards us using FK43 with either 1.25 or 1.4 in the turbo motor.

I'm looking forward to having a race against you next season Richard.... Given your weight advantage, it might be a fun chase!

JMHO , If I am going to buy a cam for my engine and a set of rockers I would rather buy one ground for the ratio I am going to run. Will your combination work , absolutely but I worry about excessive strain/ wear on the componants. I have done it in the past when I already had the engine assembled and wanted to try just a little more lift . Dave Kawell is someone I believe in , has given me nothing but excellent advice. Your engine looks great and I bet will be alot of fun, Mike McCarthy

Have had some more bits arrive. Thanks Rod P
See pic.
Talked to Lummus on Thursday, he has started but going slow. Have changed a couple of things.
Intake plenum is now an upside down D shape ( flat on bottom) the reason is to help fuel stay in suspension just like the tee on the in take manifold.
The carbie is now an alloy body Holley Street Avenger 670cfm not the 600 we originally planed to use.
will have to wait until it's all here to work out throtle pedal,cable etc

Loving the toys.... That FPR looks very familiar... Looking forward to seeing the plumbing from Ron.

I keep forgetting to ask if you have a contact number, if he does machining work too?
Does Harris still do the work do you know?
turboboy 路
Hi
Yes Harris engines dose machining.
They can do all most anything.
Rebores, head work, alloy welding etc., but he doesn鈥檛 have a line borer for VW
check their web site http://www.harrisengines.com.au/
Ask for Mark tell him Richard put you on to him
Nice chap very helpful and always has VW/356 heads in there.
But Ron is retired

LOWBUG 路
How much power do you think this beast is going to make, and in a buggy, hold the hell on.
turboboy 路
Maybe 200 to 250hp , which is what I'm shooting for.
Lummus recon's around 300, I would say he is talking flywheel hp

Absolute beautiful work, you have every right to be proud that engine and I would bet Ron was close on his estimate of HP . I especially like the muffler and pipe setup . Mike McCarthy
