Hi Walter,
Yes, he used the 42 mm header in stainless from Bernd. And no, this is not a Riechert setup in the picture. I built this fan setup 1989 because I wanted to fit a G60 charger to my 2 L and the only way to accomodate it in the engine bay was to relocate the fan. The steel plate in the front is 5 mm thick and bolts up to the four 8 mm threads in the block. The small pulleys on top are of a Peugeot 305 engine which has the alternator relocated from factory. All that needed to be done next was making a bracket for the alternator to the block and making the moulds for the shroud. This is exactly what I`m working on at the moment, only with aluminium shrouds for better heat transfer. Fibreglass and carbon seem to keep the engine a tad warmer  The mods to the oil galleries included getting rid of the original plugs and then drilling them (galleries) out on a CNC machine @ AMG ( the same machine that machined my caliper brackets). He wanted the most possible oil supply ( volume) and even though they are bigger inside the pressure is higher too through the big geared pump and special oil pressure control valve. As for the turbo oil return, it used to get sucked out through an electric pump but got included in the dry sump system now due to that electric pump failing (temp). The mahle 103 mm piston and cylinder set is top notch as you probably know and a lot of guys drive them for years and years without problems. One of my friends rebuilt his engine after 7 years and all that was needed was a set of bearings and a gasket set, and yes he drives it regularly and hard. The 6 stud setup is from PTP and the cylinders have had 2 small sharp lips machined into the top, looks almost like 2 small hair. Hope I didn`t bore you to death  Later

hi
Hi Guys, just lettting you know I still come on here on a daily basis to check whats happening in the real t4 world
 The reason for not posting much is lack of reason, any more than I've posted would be spam  ,I dont like getting into the "my things bigger than yours" situation which often happens  I suppose an update is in order tho' Russ finished the season runner up in the VWDRC championship Pro class, his motor is still together still doesn't blow the heads off. I suppose there's only so much you can say about using big cylinders before it gets tedious. when I say you can use 104mm on the street,turboed and they wont blow, noone has to believe it. But when someone says you cant then I feel i have to correct them as I have real life experience of it. BTW cylinder sealing on Russ' is the same as Martin's (great minds I think) Same with cooling Porsche fan setups have been used for decades now and like all things they are popular for good reason. BTW have you seen the sealing surface of 96's or T1 94's? they are like a cookie cutter the walls are so thin. Using Porsche heads has allowed better airflow, better combustion shape,better exhaust design and better clamping capacity on the cylinders. Wally you need to do it man!! its not too hard you're half way there already Back to browsing mode Paul

 Funny thing is, a friend of mine (and also a member here) showed me a set of an old, but still never used mahle 103mm set. Wall thickness at the head was a stunning 5,0 mm! I think that a great deal of the experienced troubles therefore probably ly into the poor quality steel and thinner linings of the cheaper US made 103mm sets, without wanting to discuss to merits and pitfalls of the steel 103 sets all over again, caus I do also see the potential problems with them.

Thanks Paul, Walter

 Thanks man! Using the dry sump pump to suck the oil return from the turbo is bl**dy smart. Simple things usually are Hope you inform us some more in the future of this and your own project engine! MfG, Walter

Hi,
I`m working on a 54 NZ assembled beetle with IRS for the last 5 years and it looks like it`ll be at least another year till finished. Got 2 engines on the go, 1832 daily driver and a 2366 for whenever required. Car was very rusty and only making slowly progress. Haven`t got much time to spend on it as we have a little daughter now that gets all attention. Engine in the picture is not finished as the heads are just spare ones to check the fitment in engine bay. Got all parts together to assemble both engines but body and paintwork needs to be done first. Later
