Another Wreck, another Race Car.....

[Peter Jones]

or trying to figure out how to wire it all up?

[Peter Jones]

Almost ready for DOVW, it won't be running but it is 95% complete now.

Lot of rough edges yet but RACECAR!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo!!!!!
Looks amazing

[Jarred]

Looking forward to seeing it, and catching up tomorrow Pete!

Hi all,

saw this in the flesh at DOVW today, words fail me as to how good it looks!

Congrats on an amazing build and thread!

Amazing work Pete, great to have a chat.
Can't wait to see this thing going and tearing up the racetrack next year.

Here's a few photos from today, I'll be posting up the engine details soon.

Here's some photos from the CAMS inspection of the motor.

ARP undercut head studs and custom high compression JE pistons



Ports were CNC machined and finished by hand.



Anyone recognise the block yet? (I'll write up the motor story soon)



CAT cams with solid lifters.



Valves are 34 x 28.5



Dry sump adapter on block. I was also playing about with radiator hoses at this point.





Inlet ports.





Exhaust ports



Customised head gasket.



The CAMS engine seal.

The motor was built by EuroSpec for me in the US. Eurospec: High Performance Parts for Audi and Volkswagen

I had initially approached them for one of their FIA spec crank, rods, and piston sets to go into the ABF motor I've got here.

It turns out those kits are designed for the shorter blocks and it became rapidily apparent that trying to machine the block in one continent and make parts to go into it in another one wasn't going to work.

I was trying to negotiate with a head company in the UK for the head work at the time but they just wouldn't respond to ay form of communication.

Steve (The owner) and Eric from EuroSpec were super helpful and offered me a head they had built as spare for one of their race cars.

They also had the Jenveys and manifold in the spares cupboard and made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

After lengthy discussions and much head scratching we settled on the 06A block retro fitted with the ABF 16v head.

There's many advantages to the 06A including the internal water pump, crank angle sensor and the readily available dry sump system.

Going with a KR or ABF block would have required a lot of development work to make a dry sump system.

I'm not sure what the final output will be, conservatively 250HP, optimistically 300Hp. It's really tough to say until I get it on the Dyno after running it in.

Here's the vital stats,

O6A block with ABF 16v head.
Bore 84mm
Stroke 90mm
Capacity 1995cc
Combustion chamber volume: 48cc
13.5:1 compression
Valve size: 34x28.5
Tungsten Valve seats with 5 angles
Bearings were molly coated and baked before installation

The cams are from CAT cams and run on solid lifters.

A few more photos from today.











I won best MK1/2 modified and best of show modified which was a unexpected surprise.

I hadn't really considered actually winning a trophy.

The motor isn't running yet, there's still a little wiring to do and an ECU to program. Then it should be just a matter of adding fluids and firing it up.

A little more detail on the bottom end kit from the EuroSpec website.

This new stroker kit is based on the FIA kit car specification. With a 90mm stroke by 84 mm bore and using a 150 mm connecting rod, this configuration delivers the best balance of bore and stroke on an 88 mm bore center, while still maintaining a connecting rod ratio of 1.67:1. Consisting of an all new super light Eurospec 4340 forged crankshaft with a 46 mm rod journals, Eurospec 4340 H beam connecting rods with Forged JE’s on a 19 mm pin. Including main bearings, rod bearings and a steel head gasket at the very affordable price of $2,250.00. Available for all two, four and five valve configurations and in compression ratios from 8.5:1 to 13.5:1.

Car looked great yesterday Pete, Congrats on getting it together and getting it there! (Which i'm sure wouldn't have been a problem in the rokamei!)

Looking forward to seeing/hearing it fired up, and blasting around the track!

Congrats on the trohpies as well, well deserved.

[Stan]

congrats on the awards, well deserved
