@DiamondHell That thing needs an u-p-g-r-a-y-e-d-d

[Akciddento @akciddento]

New MOT on the #vwt3 thrashed it up and down the motorway then washed and wax polished It to slow the rust - makes a glorious noise - still love this bus :)

[Akciddento @akciddento]

Back in here today #vwt3 needs a better air system solution - like make that #turbo I’ve been promising myself forever ?

Visiting #ninove #vw for #ffreddyfiles 23 in the #vwt3 #doka

[Akciddento @akciddento]

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 ?

[Akciddento @akciddento]

@elecclassiccars Do I spy a #vwt3 in the workshop there ?! Fantastic

[Akciddento @akciddento]

Booted up a .Mac laptop in windows to reprogram the #innovatemotorsport wideband O2 sensor to display in lambda rather than efi - now it reads correctly whether I run the #vwt3 doka on lpg or benzine

[Akciddento @akciddento]

@DiamondHell Doesn’t like paying for benzine - pays half for Less polluting lpg :)

[Akciddento @akciddento]

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

[Akciddento @akciddento]

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

[Akciddento @akciddento]

Addressing the oil leak that appears to come from the distributor on the #vwt3 doka 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

[Akciddento @akciddento]

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

[Akciddento @akciddento]

And now - in the #vwt3 doka - the new rev counter is installed, cabled and working ! From a gti it’s Mounted inside a custom 3D printed case with a new oem style face and peaks at a hopeful 7k rpm :D

[Akciddento @akciddento]

Rewiring the instruments in the #vwt3 doka - how it started - how it’s going :)

[Akciddento @akciddento]

New oil cooler for #vwt3 doka - cue sound of harp playing in the style of ⁦@mightycarmods⁩

[Akciddento @akciddento]

Back in the other other #vwt3 - glorious noise and so much fun to drive

[Akciddento @akciddento]

Checking your running engine for intake vacuum leaks with flammable brake cleaner is a great idea - until it isn’t - ask me how I know… #vwt3
