Ok I will soon be starting another project buggy. (yeh yeh I know i have not finished the first 🙂 ) But anyway this time I am going for a stroker type one. Just cause I am getting one at the right price. I think it is about 2080 has a magneto not sure on the cam yet dry sump. But anyway I want to set it up for low down torque for off roading. So what do you all think is best
Single carby, duel carby, turbo??? and why you reckon which is best also would be great.
I am thinking of going the turbo with probably a webber.

If i was you i would be going for the single idf in the middle that would give you great low down grunt and easy of tuning and set up
You only need two tools
Wd40 if it don't move and it should
Duct tape if it move's and it shouldn't

Yeh a single carb is better for offroading, you'd probably want like a 44IDF to get enough fuel down there. Otherwise dual webers are great but apparently off road they can go out of tune easier and not work as well as a big single carb. A turbo sounds good, what kind are you looking at?
Cheers,

Single carbs need some kind of manifold heat dont they or carb iceing could be a problem,OR SO IVE HEARD.

alot of people actualy cut out the heat risers from stock VW manafolds as a colder fuel supply gives a tiny bit more power as the atoms are closer together and u can fit more in the cylinders. if u live in a cold area carbs + manafolds can ice up but if u drive along for a bit and then turn off the engine the heat from the engine will melt the ice and off u go without a drama. (this usually works)

id go with a big single. this is what ill be doing with my 2 litre in my baja project.

If I go turbo it will be a relitively small turbo such as a to3 so it can spool up quickly.
Anthiron you are correct the cooler the air coming in the denser teh mixture so the more O2 in there to burn.

Didn't know that about the fuel, interesting though. I'm guessing with slightly colder/denser mixture it doesn't get quite as good economy?

That's only true at WOT and at max torque RPM and above, The other 99.8 percent of the time a nice warm intake charge is better

just a thought but if it has a dry sump and mag its probably out of a sprint car which means its probably pretty raced out and not much low down.

Yeh I did consider that myself so i will be pulling it down and giving it a birthday with a cam set up for torque and the usual rings etc.
