My New Toy - T34 *updated work in progressnew front seats.
Thought I would post some updated shots of my new toy. For those who may not have seem it on general chit chat I thought I would post detail type
shots on this car.
Its a 1965 T34 Karmann Ghia that has been fitted with a 2.4ltr flat 6 911 Porche engine.
Runs late Type 3 front end with disc brakes and late IRS Type 3 rear end. Gearbox is VW 4 speed.
Wheels are Fuch 15 x 6 and 15 x 7 (I think)
911 motor has a dry sump and an oil tank has been mounted in the spare wheel area to move wieght forward. Same for the battery.
Since I purchased it late last year, I have sorted out the wiring, put on a new set of tyres. The old ones were a little worn and a little on the
wide side for me.
Here are a few pics taken today.

havent fully tested out the performance bit yet. All I can say is that it gets to the legal limit mighty, mightly quickly.
Bit wary of Mr Plod spoiling my fun and doing a sacrificial burning of my license if I get too carried away.

yep, I know what you mean.
maybe there's some off street, legal drags near you?
test it out, and keep us posted.

Thats running the early mechanical injection..... If you look at the engine case on the r/h side of the fan down near the crankshaft pulley there will
be a number stamped into it....something like 901/xx that will tell you what year the engine is from and what country it is from as well.

Supposedly 0 to 100 in 5.7 seconds. BUT that was with the original 2.0ltr 911 motor that has more HP. 180 vs the 160 that this 2.4 has. Its certainly
not up to that sort of performance at the moment. Needs a real good tune as its running very rich. Still reading all about these motors and trying to
understand what everything is and does.
As soon as its sorted I will be heading off to a drag night somewhere. Cant wait.
Graeme, the motor is a 72 2.4ltr T motor. 160 hp. The cooking version. The 2.4 S motors are the tuned up ones producing 180hp. More than enough
power out of either in this car to consign my license straight to hell if I am not carefull.

The T34 has been layed up in the shed for the past few weeks slowly getting all the things done for the Vic Roads road worthy certificate.
Started out getting the fuel system all sorted after the little mishap the last time I drove it.
Decided that metres and metres of fexible hose was probably not the best option so have replaced it with steel from front to rear With new line runni
ng thru the tunnel. Easier in a Type 3 than a Beetle because of the inspection hatches at the front and rear.
Sitting on axle stands in a way too small shed.

The main offending fuel hose was the return for the fuel filter. Poor plastic fitting popped off and almost turned my toy into a 6.00 oclock news
item.
Have now run proper steel lines thru the bulkhead with grommets and body clips and cut the flexible lines down to a minimum.

Relocated the fuel pump. Was attached to the lower floor panel and I reckon was way too exposed and had a heap of flexible hoses dangling around.
Now tucked up beside the gearbox nose and again flexible hose cut down to a minimum.

next bit is sorting out the oiling system. The original set up had 2 full flow oil filters. One on the return hose to the oil tank and one strangely
on the suction or delivery hose.
The delivery hose was looped up over the rear axle placing the filter above the level of oil in the oil tank. To my way of thinking this set up would
make it hard for the oil pump to receive oil. So the second oil filter is now history.
I have to re plumb the hoses to keep them as low as possible all the way from the oil tank (at the front) to the engine.

The oil delivery hose. Filter removed and dangling in space at the moment. Plan is to bend up a 25mm steel tube and bolt it to the gearbox below the
CV. Then bends back towards the long steel tube that runs along the sill to the oil tank in the front.

This is the oil return side. The filter was right in the way of connecting up the heatexchanger pipes to get the heater and demisters working. ( You
need these for a Vic Roads RWC) Ah the joys of custom cars hey.
So it has had to be relocated. I think I will probably move it again as I am concerned that the axle may hit the filter on full compression.

One of the last jobs will to seal the engine bay. There is a huge gap between the rear of the engine and the rear panels on the car. Want to use
rubber sealing similar to the Beetle engine bay seal if I can. And avoid steel to steel contact to cut down vibrations and noise.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
That big black thing is the muffler.
