Cool, excellent info!
Just seeing how many fabricated parts that engine has, I could imagine that at some point, one may get tired of constantly having to adapt and improve your design and work on the engine and/or trans.
Glad I was wrong
Your post is very inspiring to most of us, as 103's scare a lot of type 4 enthousiasts and to turbo it is almost unimaginable to most. Its a pity in that respect that we don't hear from Russ Fellows his friend here anymore.
Could you give us some info on how he modified the cylinders themselves for better sealing?
Oh, and how he increased the diameter of the internal oil pasages? That must be very complicated
And: does he use the 4 into 1 42mm header from Bernd ?
How is the oil returned from under the turbo to the case?
BTW I still love the look and the way that Riechert cooling system works. Jake never tested it, but I am sure it gives very even cooling, just because of the design. The extra power loss of the angled fan belt is surely no issue for this engine
Thanks,
Walter
