german mk1 saloon 1600 8v

[spp_dev]

hi guys,

after i've written a enormous long post i've recognized that

i must have 15 posts to attach pics...so here`s my 14th one,

i'm tobi writting from germany and at the moment building a

2door mk1 saloon, don't wonder if you read some things twice,

but i've saved my first post for this topiclol

i think i should tell a bit about the engine, it's a e16se,

steel conrods, cnc machined pistons, new head ported extremely up

by a company normally building the engines for german hillclimb races,

mangoletsi manifold ported up for twin 45`s catcams 298° cam,

cleaned "thing" below the rocker cover...cnc machined rocker cover...

[burgo]

engine sounds very interesting. how much power you hoping for?

[spp_dev]

the wheels will be bbs rs, i`m not sure about the size yet,

think we'll test it, car should became very low...interior will be

quite original, the only thing i'll change will be the seats, i have

champion recaro seats from the mk2 astra (kadett e) and ordered

original nova fabric from holland, so it should look quite original...

indicators will be white ones without the yellow caps inside...

silencer will have a straight 2" polished one...so now i can post pictures:)

[spp_dev]

so here are the pics...we're hoping for about nearly 150hp

so he're the pics...

it's a '86 mk1 1300 with 56tkm and from the first owner,

he're a few pics how it looked like when i bought it in october 09

http://i46.tinypic.com/28syqfp.jpg

so now let's come to the engine, it'll be a 1600 8v with

twin 45's weber, here two pics of the head how i bought it

(new out of the package;) )
http://i48.tinypic.com/k9gl5d.jpg
http://i48.tinypic.com/2yydu1d.jpg

here the inlet manifold before and after porting...

new original gm oil pump

http://i47.tinypic.com/hwa6fk.jpg

steel con rods

http://i49.tinypic.com/23syzyo.jpg

the pistons are original mahle 1. oversize, but completely

cnc-machined, the cam is from catcams 298°



here a thing i'm very proud of, the rocker cover

machined out of full material

http://i50.tinypic.com/2rcacly.jpg


and a here my speedo, german speedster dials built

into a completely new build nova housing

http://i47.tinypic.com/15n2g4h.jpg

the wheels will be bbs rs i'm not sure if 7x15 et25

or 7x15 et38 or probably 6,5x15 the suspension is a height-adjustable

h&r one, the silencers are 50mm stainless steel from fox


...so im looking forward to read your comments,

regards tobi

Looking good but how are you going to put oil in?

[Stuart]

I assume you have a mk4 astra ecu to sort the engine temperature feed to the vx220 stack ;)

oh and I pruned some of your spammy posts :p

[MK999]

Looking good but how are you going to put oil in?

Stick a tube from the bottom of an oil bottle, into the sump, and blow in the top lol Parts so far look good :)

[spp_dev]

i don't know how it's called in english, i'll try to subscribe it, the stick witch you pull out to look how much oil is in therelol

sounds funny or:cool:

[The Simps]

Wilkommen. Ich bin Simps! Or something like that! lol

Ideas sound good, I look forward to seeing it come together? Are you a cnc machinist?

[spp_dev]

I assume you have a mk4 astra ecu to sort the engine temperature feed to the vx220 stack ;)

oh and I pruned some of your spammy posts :p

i didn't test the stack yet, but i've bought a wiring loom with whoom

the speed and the rpm did work yet in a nova...the sensor for water temp

is like i've seen the same like in many other vauxhalls, i think only the fuel sensor should be a problem...

...yeah i had to make i few silly posts to get the right to post pics:d

[MK999]

dipstick lol You will find it very difficult to fill it up from there unless you do it very very slowly, as it will back up, it will also make it look like it's got 20 litres of oil in on the distick reading for a few hours.

[The Simps]

i don't know how it's called in english, i'll try to subscribe it, the stick witch you pull out to look how much oil is in therelol

sounds funny or:cool:


Its called a vagina bud. Nova drivers like to check oil levels regularly.

[spp_dev]

Wilkommen. Ich bin Simps! Or something like that! lol

Ideas sound good, I look forward to seeing it come together? Are you a cnc machinist?

quite right, next time say "Herzlich Willkommen spp_dev, mein Name ist Simps." sounds more eloquent haha

not really, we got a machine with whoom we produce signs and something like that in our company, years ago i worked at that thing, nowadays i only use it for carparts and work in the office...salesman haha...

trust me you WILL NEED the ecu from a MK4 astra to simply drive the coolant temperature part of it as the signal from the sensor wont work if you connect it to the dash. The speedo will need some sort of wheel sensor putting on (abs ring from a corsa B etc) and the rev counter should work straight away with no problems as its a traditional 50/50 item.

http://www.speedsterclub.nl/bibliotheek/technische%20documentatie/tis/Wiring%20Diagrams/Body%20System/Instrument/Circuit%20Diagram/Instument.pdf enjoy

[spp_dev]

for the "wheel sensor" thing i've got a thing i think it's called adjustable speedo healer... but the thing with the ecu sounds bad, don't wanna know
what that will cost...

[Stuart]

get one from a scrap yard, dirt cheap. OR make the circuit yourself lol

[spp_dev]

must it be from the z22se

or can it be from any mk4 engine?

[Stuart]

not sure if you can use others, but they should since the dashboards in the astra wouldnt change their inputs

[elgan]

my fuel guage works on my vx220 stack... but in reverse ( Full = Empty, Empty = Full). Hadnt looked into the temp tho!

[nova_niek]

it's a '86 mk1 1300 with 56tkm and from the first owner, he're a few pics how it looked like when i bought it in october 09.

Hi Tobi,

herzlich wilkommen to the PNG forum, seems our forum is becoming more and more international these days. Portugal, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Ireland... you name it. Even people from Blighty can be found here! ;)

Anyway congratulations on the very clean Corsa-A you found last October. I've been meaning to find one in Holland but it looks like I have to venture in to Spain to get anything as clean as yours. Happy building!

MfG,
Niek

P.S. is that colour Mexico Red by any chance? Best colour ever! :thumb:

[spp_dev]

my fuel guage works on my vx220 stack... but in reverse ( Full = Empty, Empty = Full). Hadnt looked into the temp tho!

have you got the z20let or the z22se one? i think the z22se one works with
fuel guage in litres and the let one with full to empty...

hi, i probably would search in germany, i've seen a few once similar to mine, but you have to pay about 1500-2000€

yes the colour is mexico red;)

[Stuart]

The fuel gauge is simply a case of swapping a few things round to make it read right. It dosent go through the ECU like the temperature does.

[elgan]

2.2 clocks i think.. and full to refill with litres in between. having said that been a while since i drove it!

[craig green]

Nice looking project & the rocker cover is utter engine p0rn.

[Count Vaux Alot]

Very nice i like he sound or your plans, i loved my saloon.

[spp_dev]

Very nice i like he sound or your plans, i loved my saloon.

just looked up your loon thread, amazing car, in a few parts mine will be quite similar...

...but as in germany quite every nova has a xe or let i wanted to build a smallblock...keep it oldschool;)

[spp_dev]

few new pics...

H&R ones vs 100mm ones from UK

http://i45.tinypic.com/33lkn5c.jpg

[dan23]

Looking good but how are you going to put oil in?

fit the old rocker cover put the oil in then swap it overlol

[burgo]

fit the old rocker cover put the oil in then swap it overlolwhy would you go to the hassle of fitting another one lol your a dumb ass. just take that one off and fill it with oil and then put that one back on

[Benn]

Engine porn dude, looks like its gonna be a great build.

[mk1nova_rich]

[spp_dev]

today i've let him hit the ground;)

Great project :thumb:

[Adaz_blud]

Engine p0rn for sure.

[dj_wudgey]

thats slamed mate good project!

[daverobson]

very nice, engine looks awsom:thumb:

[spp_dev]

yes all is powder coated, it was heavy to become the gearbox housing etc as clean as it is now yes

[boffer8]

any chance you could make me one of those rocker covers? lol

[spp_dev]

pick this up today

http://i39.tinypic.com/2djs1zr.jpg

[boffer8]

you must have some real good machine shop near by :thumb:

Edit: hope you have the swirls going in the correct direction otherwise it will slow you down! lol

[Angus Closier]

All your engine parts are pure porn!! Exactly what i want mine like!! saloon is ace full stop!

[auzzy-b]

Wow engine parts all look top notch! has everything been sandblasted before coating? very clean:)

[spp_dev]

yeah mate swirls are going in the right direction +15bhp hahalol

parts weren't only sandblasted, most parts were completely cleaned
before getting sandblasted, but i don't really now the english words to
tell you more

[Nova_Tek]

Hope all that sandblasting and powder coating didnt cost you much

[sparkie1401]

loving the painted engine and Gearbox parts

if this is finished come summer time and im working at Rock im Park you will have to bring it round so i can see it

keep up the good work

Genau xxx

[spp_dev]

haha you work at rock im park georgous, it's about 3 kilometres from my flat...

...but the engine will find place next winter, but the saloon itself should be rolling in summer...


hm i would say the expensive thing is your own time preparing all the things (cleaning etc) tha sandblasting and coating is not tooo heavy for exampla the block costed about 150€

[sparkie1401]

well if im there this year ill drop you a message an my phone number

wasnt there in 2009 but went in 2008 with Queens of the stoneage, hopefully ill see you and the car come summer time

[dj_wudgey]

there is some quality parts going into this mate nice work!!

[spp_dev]

so now the loons on the road,

compbrake top mounts are fitted, (brought me 15mm deepness on the front;))

white indicators are also fitted...tomorrow i'll get my wheels and the moment

of truth will come:roll:

what camber are you guys driving? i've adjusted now to -2° camber on the

front...

[mayhem]

i'm running almost no camber, but i use my corsa a alot for dragracing.
iirc a nova should have about 1 - 1,5 camber.

[Adaz_blud]

can you sned me the link for the springs please ?

[dave watson]

Looking good but how are you going to put oil in?
take the rocker cover off and pour it in its only 10-12 bolts haha

[burgo]

and for the cost of a rocker gasket, replacing it with each oil change is far from a bad idea

[spp_dev]

the day of truth has come :D

Proper head turner this car, really liking the simple yet affective styling. Engine looks gorgeous and the wheels suit great.

[G-nova]

[burgo]

im going to guess at caliper mounts, very shiny ones at that

[spp_dev]

yes, are cnc machined steel caliper mounts for the 256mm wilwood kit...
polished and chromed

[Benn]

They are proper sexy!

[Mazz]

They get the "Benn's shiney seal of approval" lol

[spp_dev]

could we print this seal as stickers?lol

[Benn]

They get the "Benn's shiney seal of approval" lol

Its a big ass tick!

[spp_dev]

oh not really...on my last project this "tick" was worse...i started polishing and cleaning the gearbox etc...after giving up the tigra the gearbox got powdercoated for the loon etc, didn't want to have too much chrome in this car, a good combie between carbon,chrome and matt black

[dj_wudgey]

what the engine looks like at the moment...


http://i47.tinypic.com/2nq88ax.jpg

[spp_dev]

you're talking of bringing the car to a show in england?
i don't really think of that...but perhaps, england is the only country i could think of living there, love your language and was to london once and loved it...but then im driving on the wrong sidelol

[dj_wudgey]

yea thats what i meant matey!! would be nice to see it! and its a ok language you see to know it quite well lol and we drive on the right side matey lol

[Benn]

You wouldn't wanna drive in London, trust me on that.

[MK999]

You wouldn't wanna drive in London, trust me on that.

Or even too close to it where people come out driving in "london mode" lol

[spp_dev]

what i've seen i would call "total chaos" lol

what's really sweet are londons markings on the floor
to which side you've to look when crossing a road :d

probably the loon will be at the tuning expo saarbrücken (germany) 2011,
there was a guy with a rover or something like that (totaly airbrushed and spoilered) from england or scotland this year

*edit* just looked it up, nürnberg - calais 819km dover - castle combe 296km :D

That engine is awesome !!!

Love the cambelt cover thing, very nice touch

[spp_dev]

[MK999]

Get a thread in for sale with details/prices imo, best way if you wanna make a little money out of them.

[Cassidy16v]

This is a top project keep up the good work mate ! ;)

[nn-vaux]

^^^I totaly agree!! ^^ :D

[cuatrolatas]

I bought my tr the last year with similiars ideas than you, but whit a 16sv engine.

bbs wheels are perfect, but i prefeer polished than crhom

[spp_dev]

they are polished lol

in german we call it "hochglanzverdichtet" you probably
will find out what i mean if you google that

[cuatrolatas]

Really?? lol lol

In photo looks like crhom, incredible job of polished

[dj_wudgey]

the cam belt plate looks lush matey!!

[spp_dev]

trumpets are also finished

[Connor]

Its going to be seriously sexy

[dj_wudgey]

[spp_dev]

today i've ordered the throttle bodies jenvy ts type, the 30mm long ones,
hope they look porn, also ordered a px500 pipercross filter

[WILSEN]

just read through there the car looks uberr clean and the plans are even better keep cracken

[spp_dev]

today a package arrived...feel like it's christmas today lol

[LEWI007]

That looks very nice mate, love it.

[Mike]

Nice noisey Jenveys!

[mayhem]

they are polished lol

in german we call it "hochglanzverdichtet" you probably
will find out what i mean if you google that

lol

i still dont know the english word for that, afaik they dont even know it overthere.

just wondering, what's the price for that in germany? here in holland it will cost me 650 for non split rims.

[Graeme]

It translates to polished compacted, I don't know what this means either

[spp_dev]

yeah let's see how much noise they'll produce,

electric will be a trijekt, i think you guys don't know
this one, it's a bit like a halltech, but from germany,

a set of 17" OPC wheels would be at about 450euro

here you can see how it works

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo_ZucjICns

[mayhem]

It translates to polished compacted, I don't know what this means either

basicly, it works with a huge bucket, with a about 400kg of foam.

it takes about 30 hours iirc.

best part is that the pores of the aluminium are closed, so brake dust has no chance,and there very easy to clean.

[Graeme]

Is it like a liquid or cleaning product, what makes the foam?

[spp_dev]

no it's no foam, but yes it takes long, it's
kind of a granulate

http://www.lowandshine.com/verdichten-granulat.gif

[Graeme]

And you just put aluminium in it? How does it polish it?

[Benn]

I've seen it before, the beads (bits) are excited/vibrated, as they rub against the metal it polishes the surface. But have no clue what it's called.

[Graeme]

If you don't know Benn, it musn't be available it the UK

[spp_dev]

yes right, it's many hours in there with different kinds of that granulat,
it's vibrating etc and in this way it get's polished...

...make holidays in germany, take your wheels with you and i'll make them for you :D

anyway where are the throttle bodied guys with comments?
first thing i realised is that the connection between the two bodies
doesn't fit and has to be shortened...and i think my trumpets are definately
too short, range should be from 3000 to 7,5/8000 we was using this camshaft from catcams:

duration
duration
maximum lift
lift at TDC


298 / 298°
260 / 260°
11.40 / 11.40mm
3.75 / 3.75mm

give me tips :D

[Benn]

If you don't know Benn, it musn't be available it the UK

It comes back as high gloss densification,


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-NZ6TcgBfE

[boffer8]

Very nice bodies mate ;) wish i could afford some for mine to have the same growl, will just have to deal with the webers for now ;)

[spp_dev]

thanks boffer, what's with your rocker cover? all working mate?

[bazil]

thats an awesome looking engine, cant wait to see it in its new home too :)

oh and a link for pimp my rims lol

[mayhem]

It comes back as high gloss densification,


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-NZ6TcgBfE

yeah, that sounds right.

i'm having my ronal turbo's done next month:thumb::d

[dj_wudgey]

today a package arrived...feel like it's christmas today lol

http://i55.tinypic.com/30kc4gg.jpg
http://i55.tinypic.com/hun0h1.jpg

that almost makes me sex wee lol

[Edd]

Awesome stuff !!!!

[mk1nova_rich]

that "polishing" process is also used for deburring camshafts and other ground components, obviously different grades of abrasives etc are used depending on the application :thumb: loving the work thats going into this car mate, I wish I could afford to stick throttle bodies on a small block lol

[Benn]

yeah, that sounds right.

i'm having my ronal turbo's done next month:thumb::d

Ggrrr cant find any one over here that does it.. Have something big that will be a **** to polish so this would be perfect to do it.. Wanna get it done for me?

[spp_dev]

but not everything is possible easily, they need a kind of fitting which holds the things given in it, so you can't throw a manifold or something like that in it easily

[spp_dev]

by the way...what do you think?

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/376/fakeatsmotorsportschwar.jpg

[bazil]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :(

really prefer the other wheels, much nicer.

[Graeme]

Much much prefer the bbs they look excellent

[LEWI007]

The BBS Wheels you have are the wheels i want.

Ill buy them off you :p

[Edd]

Are they phase one Clio rims ? They'd look nice polished IMO

[spp_dev]

the bbs ones are sold yet...but if you need a set i can organise some, that wouldn't be the problem...

no these ones are rare ats motorsport wheels

[LEWI007]

Yes if you can get me price it would be good :)

[spp_dev]

ok think it will be BBS RS again,
but only 6,5inch wide...and with golden laquered center...

[dj_wudgey]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :(

really prefer the other wheels, much nicer.

i agree!!! the bbs wheels look the dogs bollocks!!

[cuatrolatas]

This other wheels are also very good, but bbs rs are bbs rs, i prefeer them

[Nick J]

I prefer the new wheels tbh.... car looks fantastic fella! ;)

Nick.

[peester]

those new wheels are a photoshop ? what colour are they actually in, now..?

[spp_dev]

yes they are a fake...didn't buy some yet, but i was thinking of buying a set of these

[boffer8]

Yea rocker cover all sorted mate, engine now sat in the garage waiting to be fitted ;)

[spp_dev]

please pm me a pic, i'm interested in seeing this :)

[spp_dev]

ok...just bought a set of BBS RS again...but 6,5x15 same outer lip as the last time, but smaller inner lip...

...and now the question of the questions...what to do with the centers???

silver? gold? polished? same colour as the car itself? matt black?

HELP lol

[Nova_Tek]

Got any pics of the wheels mate? 6.5 15'" is a size I like :)

[LEWI007]

The wheels i want :)

Im painting my centres body colouured, that looks best

[Nova_Tek]

Just seen them. Only thing with the RS's I don't like is the centre caps, would've preferred if it was all flush with the spokes, boy am I picky lol

[spp_dev]

these are the new ones...but look the same like the old ones, only the tyres
will be smaller, i'll drive 165/50-15 then, last year it were 185/45-15

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/651/rs016.jpg

[LEWI007]

Exact wheels i want but i want deeper.

Do you think it be cheaper to ship a set from germany than it would be to buy some from here ?

[spp_dev]

i can think of you if i see a set again...happens oftenlol

i'm not sure what shipping probably could cost

[Dervy]

i can see this being one of the best nova`s around when its dun :)
loving the wheels

[Benn]

Love the rims dude.

[dj_wudgey]

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/651/rs016.jpg

rims look the sh*t!!

[Nova_Tek]

How wide are they and what's there offset?

[John]

wheel p0rn!

[spp_dev]

6,5 inches wide offset 32

[dj_wudgey]

6,5 inches wide offset 32

two wide for my hatch arches lol

[Nova_Tek]

Oh well, the 6.5 is fine but ET32 is a bit too risky. My current wheels are 6.5j ET42.

[spp_dev]

one thing we did the last few weeks

[CorsaBBoomer]

Cracking job once again :thumb:

Hope you take the 165/50's from Bridgestone? They are much better then the Nangkangs ;) Love the RS's, got a set of RM's here and 3 sets of OZ Turbo... Don't know which I will put on my white one and which on the Michalak lol

[spp_dev]

yeah will take the bridgestones...they are also cheap as hell :)

there are so many wheels i am in love with...what i also would love to own
is a set of the 3-pcs revolution classic line...but then when with 14" rims lol

but that's nothing for the loon...no space...

[Connor]

Nice, what software you using to design that?

[spp_dev]

i made 2D drawings in corel draw, exported them and than a buddy made the CAD file, but i'm not sure what program he was using...

[mk1nova_rich]

any info on the CNC machine and tooling that was used?? Looks seriously good work

[spp_dev]

5-axle dmf 260 from the company dmg,
is there any interest in a part like this?

[mk1nova_rich]

I would imagine so, but the main problem with parts like that is people want custom sizes

[spp_dev]

changing the length wouldn`t be a big problem...
...but the dcoe style flange at the side of the trumpets
would in every case be the same

[MK1_Ben]

Just read through this, really awesome project!

I can't get over how pristine the Engine is, your Engine is tidier than my whole car haha

[spp_dev]

quick preview of the new wheels,

this year with 165/50-15 Bridgestone
last year i drove 185/45 Nankang gefahren...at the moment i am in love
with the wheels lol

[CorsaTR2p]

Your work is amazing, I love the finish of the engine, especially the rocker cover is amazing.

As for the tires, do you look like a Compomotive MO5? They are very pretty and the color of your TR may be very attractive, although you choose are very classic and give a nice touch.

I have a TR 2s, but green and Spanish.

Greetings.

[spp_dev]

thanks for your well sounding words =)

i think for my car and style these are really the perfect wheels now

[Benn]

Awwww i want some!
