well, after the distraction of repainting my studio i kinda have it all back together and ready for work, doing the final cut and printing of images for the exhibition coming up in November at Centrespace. Today was tagged as a day to deliver artwork for the invites for the show to the printers and then have a properlook at thenew racebus. The maroon panel van has been sat in the drive since monday and i’ve hardly had time to look at it properly. I did charge the battery up on tuesday and it turns over but doesn’t fire but i havent investigated why…

but the artwork for the printers isn’t done, the studio is in turmoil and it’s raining…

ah well..

on a positive note I had a great conversation with james who races a fugitive buggy in VWDRC earlier in the week about the homebrew injection/turbo system he put together. K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection system with a garrett T3 trubo from a saab 900.

he did a session on the dyno at RaceShack and rolled in with 86bhp at the backwheels of the 1835cc engine and left after tuning and setup with 120bhp at the backwheels !
anyhoo, chatting with james it seems a positive way to go and with luck i’m popping over to see him on saturday. It would appear that he just happens to have all the major parts (bar a dump valve) to build another setup. I grabbed a load of info on the K-Jet injection system and although a little fiddly it looks ideal ! (and cheap)

on a budget side the idea is to try and get the van racing and pullign decent numbers on a VERY limited budget.., I may start accounting it all and stick it online so people can see the progress……
