project stuka Options

[paroxysm]

just thought I'd better start a thread for a project that I've been working on for about 9 years.
had a car in 99 i had done up fine

but one day the passenger door would not open,and said hey how about an engine swap, bought a 2.2 six and then realized 125hp was not enough, so a v8 became my goal. Destiny had other plans.

The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon

I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.

mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders

now that 90% of the bodywork was done it was time to get the car to actually run, and just this last weekend I did get it running. The reason for calling it a stuka is the lysholm charger sounds like an air raid siren. I will post up a vid of it running when i get a chance.

Thought I'd update a bit, had the car running and driving, but then it quit on me, in the driveway while bleeding the coolant.(thats a g60 for you)
I found it was the old hall sending unit and decided it was time to start the 16 valve swap, because it has a new hall sending unit.
old motor

new motor

I'm going to cut and weld the intake manifold so it fits above the lysholm supercharger and will now keep all the boost piping on one side right near the intercooler
here i will need to build a throttle body spacer to keep the tb from hitting the intake

my motor will run on digi 1 still, and I had to get new injector cups to fit the 16v because it was cis motronic. I hate digi cups because there plastic junk and almost never come out. So I decided to try and cut down the cis cups and it worked, here it is with an old injector and the plastic cup and the left over cis piece.

I also have been collecting parts to throw in an audi 5 speed, but really want to buy the aftermarket single mass flywheel thats 12 pounds compared to using a junkyard stock 25 pounder dual mass. Still need a starter, hydrulic clutch master and what ever I'm doing for axles?

Here is the clutch fork from my 901 you can see it was rubbing on the pressure plate , is this from having adjusted wrong?

I hope not to use the 901 again, but will do it if I can get this 16v motor together fast enough. I will need to change the compression ratio in the 16v, and drop it a point and then do a test fitting in the car.
