Flywheel modification

<click on the picture to get more pics>

 

My friend Werner (Speck Competition) found a way to

avoid welding the flywheel to the crank: a bronze bushing

is inserted to separate the too similar kind of metal.

Using an angle grinder to remove the flywheel is a thing

of the past...
 

Wheel centre production

<click on the picture to get more pics>

 

I always was a fan of spectrum wheels; when I wanted to buy

(means: could afford) some they weren’t in production anymore;

so I decided to produce the centres my own. Outer and inner

rims are MB items. I modified the design a little bit to make the

wheel even lighter.

Modified 3.1 FD for LSD use

<click on the picture to get more pics>

 

For my turboed Mini I decided to modify a standard 3.1 FD for

LSD use – therefore we also had to decrease the diameter of the

LSD and bore new holes to fix it to the FD. My machinist loved me

for milling a hardened crownwheel – but 3 milling cutters later it

was done with success.

 
 

Big brake kit

Disc diameter is 10.5” (267mm); the brake hats are self-made

from aluminium alloy. The brake callipers had to be modified to

accept the bigger diameter disc; also new aluminium adapters

had to be made to space the callipers out. Yes, I know the holes

are (maybe too) large…

 
 

5 porter with Garrett T2 turbo

<click on the picture to get more pics>

 

The T2 gives a lot more street usable car than the original T3

from the Metro. A sandwich plate had to be made to adapt the

T2 to the original Metro header. Over the years I tried different

combinations of A/R housings and compressors; also EGT probes

were installed.

 

ZX 12R Turbo

<click on the picture to get more pics>

 

Here are some pictures and videos about a project where

I helped my friend Erich. We put a nice GT-R turbo on his bike,

constructed a watercooled intercooler, and upgraded it with

lots of electronics; this bike now makes nearly 400hp and

310Nm at the wheel at 1,4bar of boost - it is for drag racing

only of course...
