hi trev.
I am currently building a brand new vw motor from scratch.
may I sugest (if you stay with air cooled mtr)to buy the ( American HOT. VWS)
magasine and look at the C.B.performance parts page.
if you can get hold of the september 2009 adition it has all the kit aplications from
105 hp to 200hp.and thats with no turbo no efi.To giv you a idear of pricing.
105hp. $3076.85. (American)
200hp. $4164.80. (American)
Or you can go on line to
www.cbperformance.com.au.
If you have a motor thats already working in the car you can buy these parts indervigally
until you have them all and start building.
my motor is a bees wisker under 2.4ltr.
AS41 dual relief super case T.I. (high roof and made stronger behind no.3where satanded casings
are week (example 2ltr.mtr.are 76mm crank these casings are made to take 86mm crank and a 94mm bore)
I get exited just talking about it
As I stated these are BRAND NEW they are 10.klos.heavyer than standed.
c.b. wedged matched port heads and manifolds with chev stainles valves 37x42.full flowed or bigger you choose
The rest of the aplacation is up to you and you budget.
I chose the 86mm crank because the experts told me vws dont lik high revs or hill climbs
the crank and cam (fk8) gives me peek hp.and torqu at 5200rpm.
BENEFITS
no changes of engine mounts exept better ones
bolts strait in.no adapter plates to gearbox. (exept a stronger clutch@presurplate)
no pluming.
And cops still see a vw motr in it if pulled over (les chance of defect)
hope this gives you somethink to think about
If you or any boddy els wants to contact me call me on
0404024627 after 2pm Adelaide time.
