My parts for the engine transformation have started arriving

Some may have seen this first one already.

And then this smaller one

Today a large box arrived and what was in that box, more smaller boxes

And these smaller boxes contained these.

That's a couple or radiators (oil & water), 2 x thermos fans to suit, Bosch electric water pump and a water to air inter-cooler.

Now all I can think is, when are the next boxes arriving

Kev

nice, not quiet the darkside but close

Hope your paying GST

Oooooh nice boxes My friend said "doing up a VW is like having Christmas every week, you're always getting presents in the mail"

oooooh pretty.

Can't help looking at your signature....."I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap" LOL

and Your Wife hasn't noticed all these?? Kev

LEE

Nice stuff!!!!
Did you go shopping at (frozen boost . com) ??

Hi Cam, you don't need to remind me how expensive these cars are This mod will probably cost me more than a neat standard 60's Beetle and that's with me fitting everything Not including the tune

Lee, she just says "Another package. How much did you spend this time". Tell them nothing

20b (Aaron) - You have great eyes being able to read the suppliers details off the box Yes, Frozen Boost You've obviously visited their site at least.

Hey Kev,
Looks like a big dent in the wallet.
Where is the pulley with the timing ring from? I was going to use a ford bf one but that looks like it might work.
Heath

whats the watercooling for?

He will need water to put the flames out! She's gonna fly!

Kev, you're only supposed to send Santa ONE letter per year.

He is claiming he has a bunch of kids wanting VW parts from santa

niiiiiice! do Want that snail

Paul - The water cooling is for cooling the intercooler. Ring me if you want a further explanation

Ampdub - More kids, no thanks although I like your way of thinking

rickp - Actually with regards to the turbo, I have been told it will be to large for the car and am thinking about down sizing. I know there may be a little lag, but if I have higher compression ratio / less boost it may be all good.

HappyDaze - In relation to all the parts arriving, if you were look back at one of my first post in 2008 I have said the end goal was to have turbo and fuel injected, so this has actually been a long time coming. It was only the money stopping it and delaying my plans by 4-5 years

Kev

Thanks kev,
Regarding your turbo size, have you looked at compressor maps and had your heads flowed?
My 2165 sat perfect in the zone for my garret 2871r. I took the .86 rear housing knowing my motor will have torque to push it but have the option of a smaller rear if it doesn't spool fast enough. Worth looking into. A lot of people go mines a 2 litre and these are good on sr20s so it must be fine on mine. It is a rough guide but when your sending coin like we are, I think it's best to check it right out. Most maps are available on net.

Another thing quick is that I need to go up a size to -14 for all my water hoses and my radiator was far too small to keep my temps down for longer than 2 minutes.
The radiator needs to be roughy 3 times the core size of the intercoolers. Not sure how big the pwr coolers are but that leads to a big as rad in nose of mine. you have got to make sure the water runs through quick but not too fast to not absorb enough heat on its way through.

If you have any questions let me know. H

You must've been veeeery good...Santa loves you

That intercooler is very cool (pun intended lol), you're putting together some awesome bits

Turbo54 - My exhaust housing is .68 if that helps.

vlad01 - yes, Frozen Boost http://www.frozenboost.com/index.php?osCsid=17b4c83bfa91ee5cf0e9a828fc62183e

Topaz - Yes, I have been a very good boy Or at least my wife wishes I was. I might be collecting some awesome bits, but whether I get it all together and running is another story

Kev

Edit: this stuff has also arrived since last update.
