New hub is back from plating. Pretty good color match with the purchased pulley. Fan is out for powder coating, hopefully back next week.

I still have to modify the glassfibre cooling hood for the oxyboxer and the comp Elis. I really hate that sh...t. Any suggestions on how to make the least amount of dirt and how to not! cut wrong??? Rolling Eyes Laughing

Lot's of modifying and fitting on the Oxyboxer. Nothing fits out of the box. It's similar but just not the same as type 1. Keep this in mind before you start one Laughing

Fitting the hood took me a whole working day. Even the base for the crankbell gas linkage needed work.

The fan has come back from powder coating. I used titanium bolts to assemble the new hub to the fan. Finally I had everything balanced.

The old school Porsche 5 blade can now be run in a modern aftermarket housing with a Volkswagen generator and plenty of directional vanes in it: https://youtu.be/QWYDsOCUUs8si=4q5n7n96Qyihl6rO

What a fantastic build! Love the fabrication. Yes, nothing fits, everything pretty much requires modification.
Once it's running you'll find you drive it for a while, then take it off the road to modify something else. Then repeat, over and over.
Best wishes, super nice project and your documentation is really interesting.
Over here the Porsche style cooling systems are not popular at all and what's available here evidently doesn't cool very efficiently. I have a BAS/Ahnendorp system with 260 mm fan waiting for another motor to be completed.

Hi Halbug!

Could you share some more details of the modified "banana"exhaust?
Looks really well made!

Cheers,Arnoud

Hi Victor, thanks for your nice comment! Yes, the oxy needs a lot of adaptation and fabrication... The over all project was well planned, so I hope to keep the re-engineering to a minimum. I know exactly what you described and I have done it numerous times in the past.

I know I want to exchange this used engine with my own planned 2.8 at some time. Otherwise I hope to keep everything technically as is. Let's see LOL

They have sooo many different options that you may want to talk to Thomas Schnarr. He is really willing to help and great to work with.
