Got specs on the engine and trans Dave?

vw54 · 5 Sep 2006, 7:30 am

Dave

Its the same old engine n gearbox

VW engine case and stock gearbox

dangerous · 6 Sep 2006, 4:22 pm

So,
2165 VW case and heads with turbo and EFI
VW IRS SSC with 930 cvs, Albins gears and Quaife diff.

Looks like quite a weight saving.
Wheely bars?

vw54 · 6 Sep 2006, 4:50 pm

yeah the Wheely bars are still in the making should be finished by next week...

Dyno tomorrow arvo yippie 14 liters per minute

Carnt wait to get it on the scales at WSID n see how much we have shaved offf

No Albins gears as yet

vw54 · 7 Sep 2006, 8:21 am

New gear shift pattern

58bbugger · 7 Sep 2006, 12:20 pm

How much power will this make?
How fast should it go?

dangerous · 7 Sep 2006, 4:01 pm

Their previous car ran in the high tens.
Judging by the fuel pump flow it will run on methanol,
and other similar spec cars run in the low 10s to high nines.
Does depend on the final weight, would guess 700kg.
Pac Performance do the tuning and have a lot of experience
with boost and methanol with Microtec.
I am sure Dave will let us know how it goes tonight.

Hi

You will have to plant something in your backyard so that you can grow your own fuel. Ive seen this car taking shape over many months and its great to see it on its wheels.

He saw Elvis at Half Hill the other day LOL

humpty · 11 Sep 2006, 1:48 am

Have I missed something here?.... Did you buy Boris' car Dave?.... Looking hard by the way.....

vw54 · 11 Sep 2006, 8:09 am

no Boris still owns the car Wayne is driving it and me working on it

this is a new car Chrome Moly tube chassis
the old car is for sale if anyone is interested in it

dangerous · 11 Sep 2006, 8:26 am

What rear suspension does it have now, and what mods are done to it.
I thought that tranny in the old car had "all the fruit"? You know, Albins gears, Quaife, 930 cvs.
What were the best times and speeds of the old car,
and what model and parts does it come with?
20 questions.

vw54 · 11 Sep 2006, 8:29 am

20 Questions

It has IRS rear and Torsion bar front K & Link

yes it has Albins Gears

We have to work out the Old car and parts

vw54 · 11 Sep 2006, 11:00 am
