Sorry

Hey 86svo!

Thanks for the pictures - actually I have spoken to Mr. Carotta - he told me that he would make such a rear spoiler for me, but it would cost about € 1000,--!!!

Your 1200jubi

I just picked up two complete rear motorized spoilers off ebay,pretty cheap.I feel sure I can have similar results as the red beetle on page one.I think I can make it work y using a MSD window switch with one rpm pill on the low side.Say the rpm pill on the low side is 1500 rpm,when the car is over 1500 rpm the window switch would send power and or ground to the spoiler....when the car was less than 1500 rpm the switch would cut power or ground.

Here the car I been working on for the wife.

This is what I did to an old 'duck tail', follwing the german style saying: 'form follows function' (BTW, its an air-air intercooler, NOT a radiator!):

Walter,

That looks amazing ! I know it will work as the intercooler placement is perfect. Let us know what the MAT is as I am debating the A/W IC for an A/A IC to circuit race with.

Thanks

Sandeep

Thanks Sandeep!
Actually, the intake temperature is so low, I hardly dare believe it. I took the car for some 'test runs' (hehe) to see where the waste gate dumped and to check BOV operation (very cool, it sounds like a dolphin) and later checked MAT in the DTA (my ecu) log: it didn't even rose above ambient!
I checked temps by hand when I was out the car again and the intake side of the IC was slightly warm, but the other side was stone cold. In fact it seemed colder than ambient (20 degr C)...
My temp sensor is screwed into the top of the left alu CB hat. I'll see if I can retrieve the log from the 300 km trip and maybe the dyno run (thats over an hour back, so that'll be doubtfull)
So, in this case: size (of the intercooler) DOES matter and it proved to me (although porsche did that many years ago already in their turbo intercooled cars) we don't need no stinking water!

For Kafur without the hood:


Walter

Thank you for the nice comment!
Yes, its an aircooled vw make engine: the 'type 4' motor
Indeed, its a turbo, hence the intercooler

Sure, but it would take a book to write all that...
Like I suggested in my PM to you, the best thing to do is to read into the matter. There's no other way imo unless you're very wealthy and can outsource everything.
