Verstellbares Nockenwellenrad

[berserker0815]

Weiß jemand, wo man ein verstellbares Nockenwellenrad her bekommt?
Piper und Gozzoli kenne ich schon.
Evtl. gibts ja auch was in Deutschland..

der Wolle hatte eins auf seinem blauen X am OGP ... machmal PM ... schönen Gruß

Hat er selbst gemacht...
Alternativ beim Schnitzler nachfragen.

Bielstein kann auch sehr schöne besorgen, ich habe meins daher ...

Hi,

so jetzt mal Butter bei die Fische. Was soll denn so ein verstellbares Nockelwellenrad bringen???

Ich habe keine Ahnung davon!

[Uli.R]

Da mit änderst du die Steuerzeiten der Ventile in Richtung früher oder später.

Brauchst du z.B., wenn du den Zylinderkopf abplanen läßt, um eine höhere Verdichtungzu bekommen. In dem Moment senkt sich das Nockenwellenrad ja mit ab. Da sich die Länge des Zahnriemens nicht ändert (wie auch?), dreht sich das NoWeRad durch diese Geschichte quasi ein kleines Stückchen gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, die Ventile werden etwas früher gesteuert. Dieses Stückchen mußt du durch eine Verstellung auf der NoWe-Achse ausgleichen.

Bei der Geschichte für den i.e., die Ulix im Insider vorgeschlagen hatte, macht das Abplanen etwa eine Verstellung von 3 Grad aus.

Hallo,

ja der Wolle hat seins wirklich gut gemacht, auch die Befestigung zum inneren Rad gefällt mit gut.
Das äußere Rad ist org, das Innenleben wurde komplett herausgedreht. Das machen die Spezies von den 128er auch.
Verstellräder sind mittlerweile sehr rar, auch Franz hat z zt keine.

Einwandfreie Arbeit Wolfgang !

I'm sort OF guessing, but I think your asking
for to adjustable camshaft gear?? Try www.kentcams.com and
search Fiat I have A kent gear on my 128 and my X19 SteveC

[fiatfactory]

These may be of assistance to anyone who is thinking of having a cam gear machined to make it adjustable.

I know they are for a twin cam engine, but the idea is exactly the same.

I found these drawings on the WWW quite some time ago, these are not my work, my apologies if they are from someone on this forum

The gears available from Kent are aluminium (very light) and nicely anodised

Dear Steve.
This is exactly what I was thinking about!!
Very nice drawings!
Concerning the Kent gear, do you know how long it will last?
There is a company here in Germany which has alloy cam gears available, but they are a bit sceptic about the durability.

Regards, Ralf

I have a Kent alloy gear on two of my cars, the gear on the 128 has done over 100,000km in the last 10years, and has worn some of the anodising off, but the alloy is untouched. I believe they use a very good quality alloy and heat treat it for durability.

They are very necessary when you start to develop a lot of HP.... a good example I have, is one engine I built up for a customer who does club type competition. On the dyno, a 1 degree change in camshaft position made 10hp difference at the back wheels!!!! (I finished that session with 118hp at the rear wheels from 1500cc)

They are not cheap, but worth the money.

Hallo Steve,

wieviel X 1/9 habt Ihr denn eigentlich noch in Downunder am laufen ?
Weiß man das ?

Andreas, I'm not really sure how many X19's there are in Australia, but it wouldn't have been very many in total.

We never received the X19 till 1977 the first time, then only as a 'serie speciale' and only in three colours! Blue metallic, Green metallic and Orange mettalic.....

In 1979 we would have got the 1500 engine (like the rest of the world) but someone got something wrong, as the engine didnt meet some regulation.... because it hadn't been tested by the authority over here.
So the shipment of 100 cars to be sold, sat in storage till 1982! (I have one of these cars)

So Fiat made some special X19's just for Australia from 1979 till 1981, we had the series two body, but with 1300 4 speed powerplant! There are mostly this model on the road today

When the 1500 was finally approved and tested, the cars that sat waiting for nearly 3 years were sold first, and the "new" batch of 1982 models sold after. These were all carburettor engined cars.

Here in Western Australia (not many people but a very very large area) we only had 51 (1500 5 speed) 1982 cars registered as new (a friend in the police licensing told me this once)

There was no model year in 1983 1984 or 1985, as it took a couple of years to sell all the cars that were imported before, I have been told (but cant confirm) that only 500 of the 1500 engined cars were sold new Australia wide.

Then we had the 'Bertone' in 1986 and 1987... but they were very slow sellers, as the price had more than doubled from the earlier model. I believe the number of Brtone models is less than 100 across the continent.

Hallo Steve,

sehr interessant was Du da schreibst.
Du scheinst ja gut Deutsch lesen zu können und das gleiche Problem zu haben wie ich mit Englisch. Lesen ja, Schreiben nein. Deshalb bleib ich mal bei Deutsch und versteh Deine Antwort.

Noch eine Frage dazu.

Ist es richtig, dass man keine Linksgelenkten Autos in Australien zulassen kann ?
Bei den geringen Stückzahlen müsst Ihr doch Ersatzteilprobleme haben, wo bekommt Ihr die Teile her.

Ich möchte Deine Informationen für meine Zeitung, den Insider benutzen, mailst Du mir ein Bild von Dir und Deinem Auto zu ?



Danke

I can't understand a word of German...

Luckily for me Bablefish translates the words (more or less) and all I have to do is to try link the words that have been translated correctly and form an intelligent sentence from it

Seems to be working so far, and we can understand each other, thats pretty cool

I'm glad you guys can read English, it's taught as a second language in your schools isnt it?

Spare parts for Fiats are getting harder to get Yes.... we haven't had new Fiats sold over here since 1989....

Fortunately for me I grew up in a Fiat family, my Dad was a Fiat dealer for many years (since 1957) until they withdrew from our market, he still runs a business for repair and spare parts, though he is semi retired now.

I also ran a business for nearly 10 years doing repairs and restorations on Fiats / Lancias called "The Fiat Factory"

Yes I will gladly get you some pictures of my cars.... '71 128, '77 X19 (with 2l lancia engine), '82 X19 1500, '68 850 coupe, '69 850 sedan, '78 124 spyder (restoration)

here is a link to some early pictures of my twin cam conversion....you may find this interesting


detail of engine position in the engine bay


detail of cam drive end clearance to chassis


detail of gear linkage /clutch actuation and where the LH chassis needs to be cut for clearance


detail showing clearance to front chassis rail


another shot of the gear linkage

Hi Steve and howdy downunder,

have just edited your post that the pictures appear immediately (You can do it yourself by pressing on the Img-Button, then typing the URL and afterwards pressing again the Img-Button).

Yes, english is the second language we learn at school, but not everybody has practise after finishing school so it gets rusty (just like good ol fiats, eh
) Babblefish is a real good invention though the actual sense of a translation can often only be guessed

Nice racecar, but the shifting linkage looks really like a pain to get aligned As far as engine conversion most people here prefer the uno turbo swap, because it is a natural evolution and does not force to change the tranny.
