'69 / '76 Germanlook Project

[dave forder]

Yeah it was nice to meet you at APEX. It was pretty cool seeing a whole bunch of German lookers all lined up together. I will have mine running and out with you boys next time.

Congratulations on the magazine feature mate .I think the pic with the reflection in the puddle is very stylish and as cool as penguins piss

Thanks for your kind comments people - really enjoying smashing the miles on it! Did 500 miles last week

Dave it'll be great to see your car on track - hurry up and get it mapped lol

Bought the Volksworld issue just for your car. Nice work. Respect to all GL type 4 engined cars.

[dub_crazee]

Thank you

[TSAF]

Just an idea really. Autometer gauges reminds me Cal looks, Resto Cal, etc, not GL for sure.
Replace them with Stack gauges they are a lot more "circuit racing" oriented.

[dub_crazee]

I completely agree, i'l be making the change when i go over to EFI and probably go over to digi guages

What engine combo is it now in this form?
Cam, cc’s, heads/valves thanks!

Hey Wally
The second link was boost vs hp (on my latest session) but not my previous session

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2d0jn5189...%2019.png?dl=0

It’s 2056, 38x42 with a web cam 118 turbo grind iirc

[Wally]

Ah, so its 1 bar at about 4400-4500 rpm. Thats not too bad for basically a 2 ltr engine.
Maybe the compressor wheel is a big big for this hp? Compressor wheels determine spool almost as much as the exhaust wheel.
What turbo is on it atm?

This combo could/should do a little better as head size and cam seem ok for 300hp at 18 psi with these low inleg temps. Maybe timing has been kept a little conservative?

[dub_crazee]

I do think maybe the turbo isn’t the best for my motor. I’ll drive it for a year or so and then maybe consider changing the turbo for something a little more modern. I’m running a Garrett t3/4 hybrid at the moment.

So at the moment it made max 264.9 at 16.5 psi, another couple of psi would be around the 300 mark I guess.

After the woes I’ve had with it over the last year I didn’t want Greg (the chap mapping it) to push too far as I don’t want to kill it again. I put 100 miles on it today mostly back at 11 psi and had loads of fun! Hat the boost controller on a few times and it was great.

In your experience Wally what sort of boost can you run to with stock head studs?

I really like Speedhut gauges.You can style them yourself and they have a huge selection to choose from.Far superior in technology and quality to the Autometer gauges.Stack is excellent also,but there are other digital dashes fir example race technology that has more features and is much cheaper,also excellent quality.

Those speed hut guages rock!

[70Turbobug]

Seeing them in person is even more impressive! The best instruments on the market in my opinion!

[70Turbobug]

Ouch!!!!
I would spend the money for a good turbo like Garrett, Precision or Borg Warner. I would not risk putting a Chinese turbo on that engine. With a 2056cc a GT2871RS would work great or a GT3071 with a. 63 AR. They don't need to be ball bearing, a standard bearing will spool plenty fast enough so you can save some money there.
