The ironware I made shines

Chapter 414 Santana 87
"Santana 87? Stop, stop for me!" Ge Xiaohua saw the excavator master drowsily controlling the hydraulic mechanical arm of the excavator with a cigarette in his mouth. He was trying to solve a Santana 87 produced in 87 with a shovel. The first batch of joint venture cars cooperated by Volkswagen and China, the Santana 87, was priced at 15 at the time, but because the procedures were complicated and expensive, the landing cost was about 24. You must know that the salary level in 1987 was about the same Work, only 200 yuan a month.

It can be seen that more than 20 at that time was equivalent to several million or even tens of millions now. Money in that period was very valuable, and those who could drive a Santana were definitely rich people.

It is worth mentioning that although this Santana 87 is very old and covered with a thick layer of dust, according to Ge Xiaohua's judgment, the paint is still from the original factory, which means that after so many years, this car has basically not produced a car. Large accident, no sign of full painting, so the internal engine must still be able to conduct multi-faceted research.

"what happened again?"

"Comrade Xiao Wu, didn't you remember what I said yesterday? You asked me before the violent demolition. I'll check it first. Leave this car to me and you go to rest first."

Originally, he wanted to complain about Ge Xiaohua, but thinking about what the manager said last night, he knew that Ge Xiaohua had an extraordinary background, so he didn't dare to say more, and Ge Xiaohua threw another pack of cigarettes over. This time the price was around 50, which is considered It's a very high-end cigarette, and he usually smokes around 10 yuan.

"Brother Xiaohua says what he says. I'll dismantle the car later. You check first."

Ge Xiaohua came to the front of Santana 87, saw the excavator hook about to be hooked down one meter above his head, frowned, and said, "Xiao Wu, drive the excavator farther away!"

Without the threat of the excavator, Ge Xiaohua was able to concentrate on checking the condition of the car. Although this scrap car has so many years of history, it is excellent in terms of paint, sheet metal, interior materials and design. , is not considered backward at present.

"How about the engine of a luxury car in the 90s?" Ge Xiaohua opened the bonnet, the heavy dust choked Ge Xiaohua so much that he couldn't open his eyes, a lot of dust got into his nose, his eyes regained his sight, and the engine of this Santana 87 appeared on the scene. in front of him.

"Poussin JV carburetor engine, just now I saw the tail mark GLS, it should be right. Although this engine has no advantages, it was still good at that time. It was suitable for driving in urban areas. The power was not bad, although it was not enough. Energy saving and environmental protection, which is why around 2000, subsequent Santanas were replaced with 1.8L EFI engines."

When Ge Xiaohua was in Germany, he studied the history of automobiles. That month was not in vain. It gave Ge Xiaohua a good atmosphere to understand the history of automobiles. After all, German automobiles are famous all over the world, and Santana is also produced by Volkswagen. Yes, the cooperation with China is relatively close.

Moreover, Santana is also a classic model around the 90s, which can be described as a memory of a generation.

Ge Xiaohua first had a clear understanding of the mechanical structure of the Santana 87, and he was not in a hurry to disassemble the engine. This scrapped car is different from the sixth-generation Accord yesterday. Even if the scrapping period is exceeded, this Santana 87 can still be repaired and put on the road, and it will not be forcibly scrapped.

"The automobile manufacturing technology at that time was also very powerful. It is said that these automobile factories were built in Brazil?" Ge Xiaohua knew that as the first batch of Volkswagen Santana 87 to enter the Chinese market, he must strictly control the quality, otherwise he would not Not going to be a luxury car of that era.

Ge Xiaohua was observing the Santana 87. The excavator master couldn't wait any longer. Young people are impatient.

"Brother Xiaohua, are you ready? The manager will call me lazy and deduct my salary!"

"It's almost there, wait."

Ge Xiaohua didn't want to interfere with other people's work. After observing for half an hour, he began to disassemble the engine. He removed Santana's Poussin JV carburetor engine from the car, and then moved it to the exclusive studio for research. There was a loud noise of violent car demolition.

Regardless of the collapse of the outside world, Ge Xiaohua remained motionless and dismantled the Poussin JV carburetor engine step by step. Every screw was placed neatly. It took nearly 3 hours and the engine was completely dismantled. Yes, Ge Xiaohua's understanding of this engine deepened, and then he compared it with Honda's engine.

"Both these two engines were excellent works at that time, and both had merits, but their advantages and disadvantages were also extremely obvious." Ge Xiaohua habitually touched his chin as if thinking, but did not realize that his hands were full of engine oil, so His chin is completely black, but he doesn't care. The masters who do car repairs and maintenance are all dirty. The oil on their hands has been so dirty for a long time that they can't be washed off, so it is difficult for many auto repair masters to find wives. It is because women nowadays pay more attention to hygiene and think they are too dirty, so they don't want to associate with them.

In fact, in this day and age, the auto repair master is the most profitable job!It is not a lie that I repair the car and keep you. After all, although there is no such thing as a car, the average family will have a car. Whether it is a good car or an ordinary car, there will always be problems with the car. At that time, so auto repair masters are very popular, which is why many auto repair apprentices go to work without salary, just to learn technology, and with technology, there is no need to worry about eating.

Ge Xiaohua is concentrating on researching the engine, and has no mood to care about whether it is dirty or not. Blacksmithing is harder and dirtier than it is now. There are three major hardships in life, and blacksmithing is the first. It can be seen that blacksmithing is more difficult than auto repair, which is also the reason for the decline of blacksmiths.

Ge Xiaohua is familiar with every component and the structure of the engine, and then put the engine back, but he can dismantle it but not reinstall it. They will be installed, and then the two engines are moved out, so that Xiao Wu's hook machine is completely destroyed with a shovel.

Ge Xiaohua has benefited a lot from studying two engines from around the 90s. China's engine technology is about 30 years behind, so the engines of the 90s are equal to the level of Chinese engines now, and the engine level of that period can reach the level of domestic cars today. This shows how advanced the technology of Germany and Japan, the two major mechanical powerhouses, was at that time.

"You can't underestimate yourself, and you can't complain about yourself. You can only catch up!" Ge Xiaohua secretly encouraged himself. At night, he drove back to the blacksmith's shop, had a casual meal, and then hid in the room to start designing the basic parameters of the engine and parts. The structure, characteristics, coefficients and so on are all drawn out, and a draft of the engine is started.

There is no progress if you just study without doing it. After studying two Volkswagen and Honda engines around the 90s, Ge Xiaohua had a new idea. Combining his experience as an apprentice at Mercedes-Benz, he carried out a theoretical basis for engine technology in the 90s. Brand new engine design.

After staying up all night, I just drew the basic structure of the engine, but it made Ge Xiaohua feel that it is possible to design an engine. At first, I thought it was very difficult, but I actually disassembled two engines. His comprehension ability and blacksmith level have reached LV5, and his understanding of machinery is comparable to a world-class mechanical expert, so he can start designing with such confidence.
