They only come in one size from the factory - 40mm. Though if Stan has set up your dual ignition, I'm guessing he has probably jetted the carbs for you too ? In which case they may be different to the stock jets now.

But they only ever came in 40mm

what is the dizzy on that thing off?

what does the twin spark do for the motor?

where does he put the other spark plug in the head? on the opposite side of the chamber?

porsche werent allowed to run twin ignition in racecars as it gave them an unfair advantage... thus making it cool!

Excuse my ignorance about twin spark ignitions, but how do they work? Do they spark simultaneously or what? Also, do you have b4 and after dyno figures or some idea of the powre increase?

To winerot,

thought you might like to know, after all your raving about the twin plug convo on ya heads, I went to buy some new thongs the other day. Well, when the label said "DOUBLE PLUG" I thought to myself, I have to be on a good thing.
😉
Oh, BTW....the price? $7.95, Pobjoy's got real competition by the looks of things 😀 LOL

Yeah, but now you have a twin plug engine you can help me trouble shoot.

My new thongs don't help me walk any faster and going up hills is just as hard as it was before. :duh

does any body now if stan will do twin plugs kits, eg send downa a set of heads and get the second plug whole along with dizzy etc returned to be built at home? or is it only for hi engines?

also what about doing i to performance heads? not stock type 1 heads?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

It looks impressive, I like the idea of black, very cool. I can't believe how many great looking VW's are on this site, it's fantastic that so many people spend so much time and effort on these incredible cars, keeping the Vdub spirit alive!!😉

to do this do you have to put in forged pistons etc like you would for a blower or turbo , from what i can gather could be wrong, does the extra spark give a stronger bigger explosion therefore giving more compression or am i wrong.

also how will this effect the engine for wear?
and has anyone done a dyno test before and after to check the difference ? just curious is all

I think that the extra spark plug would produce the same amount of compression but faster, as the amount of burning mixture in the piston doesn’t change but the 2 separate flame fronts burn the mixture more efficiently. Hence this setup requires less ignition advance to achieve peak pressure at TDC. This then reduces the chances of detonation and allows one to increase the compression by reducing head cc's to gain more power.
But if you don’t increase compression then you could run cooler and stong on the cheapest dodgiest fuel available.

Am I right?

Your bus kicks arse winerot.
