Looks awesome Wally!

What rear spoiler is that? Sorta looks like Dr Holzapel(sp?) one on that race bug.

Wally August 19th 2013 16:52

Yeah, its a one-off Gerrelt made me, but it took so much time, that I'am not sure if he wants to make another anytime soon...

Any thoughts on what the front fender slots and the "wing" did for you? I'm really interested in the front fender slot feedback, not sure I could pull of the rear window wing but I'd love to know how it works.

Sorry Jason, I can't tell what effect the fender slots in itself have or had. Neither with the roof extension as I only drove 10 miles or so with it when the current 1192cc type 1 compound turbo engine seized...

I am going to build another turbo type 4 for next year as with my long 1st gear, that small an engine is no fun driving on the street.

Looks great Wally! What size T4 turbo are you building? I have a brand new ball bearing Garrett GT3582 sitting here that I am not going to use..

Wally August 20th 2013 06:15

I hope the engine will be 1,9 or 2,3ltr and I will probably use the turbo from the 2,2ltr to keep costs down.
Tnx for the offer though.

your 2 liter engine
 
Walker, what happened to your 2 liter engine that you ran for about two years now.

Sorry man, but I only have recollection of 1,2ltr and 2,2 N/A and 2,2 T before that?

A true bad boy, very cool!
How does the 1.2T perform?

The idea with the small turbo feeding the big turbo worked, as the boost rose super gradually when the big turbo came on after the small one reached wastegate boost, but I seized the engine right afterwards...
So I don't have any more impressions then that one time dual spool-up of both turbos.

Oil supply to the crank and bearings seems to be the largest weakness of the 1200 Motor. I wanted to drill the oil gallies to 10mm and enlarge the holes in the bearing saddles.My idea was to build a compound system with an eaton compressor and turbo.However, it's another costly project that gets in the way of my type 4 turbo project and reliability vs. cost vs. horsepower isn't feasable consideringmy experience with the 1200 challenges in the past.Maybe someday I'll pick it up again and invest into it.

Yup, you're right! :)

If anybody wants details on how I made it, just say so.

Humble August 22nd 2013 13:44

I'd love to get details on the roof spoiler and the rain gutter panels you made.
