I made a post here, it duplicated itself somehow and when I deleted one it deleted both but...

Gerald Klaus sent me a VERY nice email about my shroud and offered technical assistance on installation. He also suggested I use their RSK lower cooling system with it. I am waiting for a response to my return email. I am very hopeful the Klaus company will decide to sell in the US/North America.

It is obvious to me that they are reading GermanLook, so if you are interested in any of their T4 goodies, now is the time to speak up. I am very happy about what I received. The quality of the metal work around the fan is great, so I would imagine their other metal work would be perfect also. I think their parts could be a tremendous option for the US T4 community.

I will take some pictures of the Klaus shroud next to the FAT unit this week.
But as far as shroud pictures go there already is a black Klaus shroud in the engine picture gallery. The curiosity about the internals are misplaced as there is only a small block mounted deflector for airflow and the rest of the magic is by the design and contours of the shroud itself. This deflector is prominent on the Klaus website. So to visualize the flow one must look at the external design. No magic vanes inside.

I would imagine the engine we are assembling will put it to the test...


Thanks,

Randy

Hey Jake,

I will be filming nights this week making rain, so supposedly sleeping days. About the only online stuff I am looking at is GL forum so fire away with the questions here.

I will post those pictures soon, just been busy and the camera went dead at the shop the other day...

(Sorry about the using the word "rain" for all of those on the SE coast of the US. Hope everyone there on GL is OK)

Thanks,

Randy

Hi Randy,
Another forum member here (Stuart) has bought a complete 2366cc type 4 engine from Klaus.
I have seen the engine, but could not look past the fan. He did report that inside his shroud there are some sort of extra (metal) deflectors per cylinder at the heads. So there is probably more to it and this may be due to the fact that he bought a complete engine which is dyno tuned and tested by Rolf Klaus.
He has not driven it yet because the car is not quite finished I believe.

Greetings,
Walter
