doing the things that we want to

  • T3 Double Slider air intake questions?

    Back in here today #vwt3 needs a better air system solution – like make that #turbo I’ve been promising myself forever ? The short jenvey injection stacks just fit under the engine lid with aircleaners on but the shirt runner length was giving low air velocity and lumpy idle – making it difficult to get…

  • Roadtrip to Ninove day 2

    a roadtrip in the T3 double cab to Ninove in Belgium for the Freddy Files meet – hanging out with Ollie Dyer and catching up with Steve Retro, George, Adele, Sam and so many other Brits who had made the trip over – meeting the folks from Hayburner and having overall a kinda wonderful weekend…

  • Ninove day 1

    Ninove day 1

    Visiting #ninove #vw for #ffreddyfiles 23 in the #vwt3 #doka Arrived in sunshine and had a fun afternoon catching up with friends from all over – UK, Belgium, Germany and some of the Netherlands crew. The rain held off and after another wonderfully bizarre FFreddy Files supper we waited for the big line up the…

  • Roadtrip to Ninove day 1

    Roadtrip to Ninove day 1

    arrived in sunshine cruising the double cab T3 down and met with ollie three-buses to deliver a vintage tool trolley we’d picked up for him from BF nowhere in Netherlands some weeks before.The Uk cars were out in force having cruised over starting at dawn and were happily sat in the courtyard of Ninove brewery…

  • Ratio Rockers for the T3 Doka

    Ratio Rockers for the T3 Doka

    Learning how to cut to length cut-to-length pushrods Then the procomp billet 1.4 ratio rockers go into the #vwt3 #doka What could possibly go wrong ?

  • Laptop setup for the 02 sensor in the T3 Doka

    Laptop setup for the 02 sensor in the T3 Doka

    Booted up a .Mac laptop in windows to reprogram the #innovatemotorsport wideband O2 sensor to display in lambda rather than AFR air fuel ratio – now it reads correctly whether I run the #vwt3 doka on lpg or benzine. Basically lambda 1.0 is stoichiometric – ie perfect fuel burn – irrespective of what fuel you…

  • Installing Wideband 02 in the T3 Doka

    After new carb jets the #innovatemotorsports #mtx-l wideband and lambda sensor gets installed into the #vwt3 doka – will change the display from afr to lambda and it will meter both fuels without problem. Just need to find a windows laptop with a serial interface from somewhere to talk to the gauge?

  • Rejetting the T3 Doka

    Rejetting the T3 Doka

    New upgraded primary and secondary jets installed into the NOS pierburg carb in the #vwt3 doka – it’s a 1.9 carb on a 2.1 motor so on lpg all is good but on benzine it’s super lean – going from 102/110 to 112.5/120 hopefully helps and a dyno session will dial it in

  • Fixing oil leaks on the T3 Doka

    Fixing oil leaks on the T3 Doka

    Addressing the oil leak that appears to come from the distributor on the #vwt3 doka double cab reveals the rubber oil seal is perished and so stiff it cracks when trying to remove it – new seal – slot back in – leak hopefully solved

  • Wiring for the wideband O2 sensor

    Splicing cables together for @innovatemotors mtx wideband O2 sensor & gauge- but there are identical colour signal wires and can’t find multimeter to check – make diy continuity meter with battery & tiny motor :)wires are common – all fixed and sealed – next install in #vwt3 doka
