german mk1 saloon 1600 8v

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...

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

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:)

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

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,

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

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

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

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:

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?

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
