Type 4 into type 3
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 7:50 pm
Hi I am busy finalising a nice type 4 into type three for Eddy snr.
Engine is a 1700 type four
valves are from a 1800 (largest std valves) obviously new seats as well and mild porting to suit
cam is a scat c25
flywheel 210 mm
hd oil pump
empi exhaust
I am aiming for about 55 kw which should wake up pines old LHD Squareback
we are using 411 variant carbs for a stealth std look
Pistons are non vw flat tops for slightly higher cr
crank and rods rebuilt 1st oversize
crank being installed just look at that huge casing
oil pump pick up modified for strength in a known weak spot
(the yanks havent thought of this yet LOL)
Windage trays came std on FI engines
Scat cams come without gears so some mods are in order
Lifters are reground and parkerised
in order to fit the Hd pump a spacer and some clearancing required
oil filter from a Polo works great
as this is a late IRS type three the stock fuel pump can stil work and engine and gearbox is fitted as one piece
The bus cross member was also modified to mate with the type three body mounts as the engine is about 3cm longer
the gearbox recieved a guiide tube and later release bearing.
The engine is in and I am tidieng wiring etc cant wait to test though
Armand
I also re galvanize the pushrod tubes
