Duh, I thougt you were reusing heads in the picture. For L3s, if you want a specific CR you could have them flycut.

So I have a question on shrouds. I've skimmed through the Official Upright Fan Shroud thread, but didn't really find my answer. I might be splitting hairs, but figured I'd ask.

I picked up a different fan shroud to have sandblasted and powder coated as mine has some dents and gouges. But upon closer inspection, there are some minor differences that I am not sure what the effect would be.

The black shroud is the one I took off the current 1600dp that I had. The primered one is the spare I grabbed.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

Can anyone discern the difference? Aside from the different indent on the top front, the primered one has a few different cutouts, and slightly different internal fin.

Thanks

Are you using an early style oil cooler, or a doghouse cooler? I think both of those shrouds are early style ones.

I can see they need cleaned real good.as for witch is beter???the white one looks like it would have more equal air to both sides with the botomhaveing no turn down,but that turn down may be a lator peice that was determaned to be needed so.....filp a coin...use the latest it possiably has the latest factory mods...or not.could just be diferent manufacture plant.if you can get the wide fan to work I would use it.(37mm)

Ive never ran a vw shroud,so im no exspert on them.... Shocked

is there any way to identfy them? is there any part numbers on them??I see they have some different small cutouts I presume for the flaps(Ive never used those either) I would think somebody would be an exspert on what was what and when it was and possiably why,but the why would be openions and we all know about those Wink

. my old shroud is the only one I didnt buy new (36 doggy style) my other shrouds I bought new,1 scat&3 empis'.I personaly dont see any reason to use an old beatup shroud that needs work&cleaning&whatever and most are full of holes for whoo knows what or why. I doubt there is any diff in cooling between any of them Shocked

why would somebody make somethen that didnt work Rolling Eyes

( I do have 1 old AC shroud in a shed,I doubt Ill ever use it.)

My new Empi 36 horse style Fan Housing dropped my Cyl Hd temps about 10 degrees F from the Stock old one but the heater ducts where blocked off and the sides where modified for the Webers to fit. This is on a 2276.

I received my case back today from the machine shop.

I guess I may have a slight problem, not sure though. I had them bore the case for the AA 94's, but I guess I was under the assumption that the cylinder bore opening would be bigger than 90.5mm, is this correct? If so, it needs to go back to be bored out to the right size.

krs.br79 · Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:49 pm Post subject:

Yeah, the case was not bored out the right size. Sending it back...

A few more parts showed up today.

Which cam did you end up with, 163? Still planning on using L3 heads?

I went with the Web 163 cam, and yes the L3 heads are on order. There was a delay on figuring out the specs needed for the heads but it sounds like maybe 2 weeks out before they are ready with the balanced rotating assembly. My case should be back later this week, so with any luck I can start doing some test fitting by the end of the month.

Cool. I also got most parts for my first stroker, need to have parts balanced now. Doing a similar build as you.
