Aircooled VW South Africa

Whats wrong with the other hand???

Yes i am back. Done all the plumming ( water and Petrol) . Ready to start, i have spark, petrol and timming checked, but the starter is not turning fast enough to start the damm engine. Will work on problem.

Yes , i am still busy. Time is few, but going strong. Replaced the Dizzy with a electronic but strugle with fire on the trailing coil. ( WIP )
Put some tempory wheels on the body, brakes working so all going strong. Here is some Pictures .

looking good

OK i have done a lot of work ,and that way there are no updates. I spend a lot of time in the garage... well here is some picks.

I have put in the Gotech , change the system from Carbs to fuell injection and some body work..

See the start up .. and day two ..some finer tunning..

That is cool. Now I dont know much about these engines, but is it normal to smoke(that is what it looks like to me) like this?

Keep up, your almost there...

Congratulations Glad the project is going ahead just Do It

*********
No it should not smoke this is all the 2 stroke oil and normal oil i used to seal the roter seals before i start the engine. She is running clean now. . Took her out of the garage this week-end. The next step now is to fit the roll cage and droor frames. I am also going to fit the new rims, tyres ... then the body. here is some pic`s.

Ah ok.... 2 Stroke oil..... I also do this trick on new-builds. But you mention to seal the rotors? Care to explain a little more?

The Rotary engine make use of seals at the tip of each rotor. The same function as piston rings seals. If the engine stand for al while the seals lose some of the " sealing " and you loose compresion in the rotors when it spin. The extra oil in the engine help to seal the compresion and thus the start. " OLD trick still used " .

The clip below will give you a good idea on how it works;

isnt it called apex seals? or something like that.

Yes, the apex seals.

I like this build.......what wheels are you going for?

Please don't say something modern............

Trying to keep it old school , deep 1970`s dish and a big side wall. ( 15 x 295 x 60 ) at the back and (15 x 245 x 60) front. We are waiting for the adapters... have a look. I will re-shape the side wall arch to fit and make it look more round.

My dream car should look like the picture in read , see http://www.eaglegt.com for the concept.
