HYPO-VW turbo manx project

hypo-vw · 2005-07-26T14:55:31+00:00

well at WPVW , we are at it again !! this time we are building up a 1916cc quad throttle-body , turbo-charged , intercooled VW manx buggy for a very insane customer . The buggy is currently registered and will be street driven with the occasional trip to the strip . I will post regular updates so that you can see this monster develope and keep you informed of updates . I'm sure this project will attract some critisim as the turbo oval project did , but for all those who are genuinely interested , THIS IS FOR YOU !!! this is not just an engine build , but a full resto and performance set-up . front view of manx buggy

no its not a type-4 engine . its a 1916cc type-1 engine with a porsche style fan cooling assembly . however I do expect that this engine will produce more horsepower than my 2.9 type-4 engine that I am running in the oval .

If you are going to comment on my posts Mr Sweetman don't call me Rod . I have spent over half my life working on VW's to get the good name that I have . Too many times in the past other family members have taken credit for the outstanding work that I do at WPVW . In case you are confused , I am Wayne . please edit you post ASAP and change the names .

Regarding the turbo , it is a TO4-E with a .70 inlet and a .84 exhaust . It is an oil-cooled unit .

I carry most of the parts shown in stock at most times . Items like turbos , EFI computers have to be ordered to suit each individual application . Items like plumbing arrives at my shop in the form of a large box of various size mandrel bends , and the exhaust and inlet system has to be designed and manufactured for each application . just give me a call on 02-4272 5844 if you want to discuss a particular project that you have in mind. HAPPY TO HELP!!

That is a very sweet piece of work. Are there any issues with the turbo being so close to the inlet for the cooling fan? or will this be sheilded so as not to draw in hot air?nn[ Edited on 5-9-2005 by BiX ]

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

the exhaust housing of the turbo will we fitted with a stainless steel heat shield to avoid large amounts of hot air being drawn into the fan .

dont you think that the t04E might be a bit large for a 1916cc?.
