I have preped the car and will be heading out to Western Sydney this Friday for a run on a 1/4 mile with the nitrous oxide for the first time . I have completed 20 passes with the gas over the 1/8 mile so I am confident I have the tune-up correct . I will leave the 140 shot jets in the system to see if it will run a 9 second pass . I have been getting faster every run as I get used to the extra kick I have at my finger tips . I will be out there around 4.00pm with a 6.00pm start and would like to get at least 3 good runs in before a transmission swap and engine freshen up before Portland in 6 weeks time , ROD.

dangerous wrote:The Autocraft pattern head stud location that Rod uses, and as do my engines,
is almost identical to the VW Wasser Boxer stud pattern,
and the distance between adjacent cylinders is the same as stock type 1 and Wasser.

People have used the Deutz cylinders on type one aftermarket engines,(pauter,scat, autocraft, arpm and autolinea and converted wasser),
but pobably the largest size you would ever want to go would be 103mm or so.(case bored to about 107mm, head 110 to 111)

If you wanted to use a very long rod, and just sit the barrel on a very shallow step at the case you could fit as large as 105mm,
but that is just greedy on a type 1, he he.

yeah Dave, that would be very greedy on a type 1, I'm thinking of messing around with a type 4 eg. 86 x 101.6 - 107, the Deutz are so long they would need a bit of machining.
a lot depends on the combo regarding forced or n/a, I have two sets of heads opened up to 105mm which brings me to the question of using the hemi heads for turbo, has anyone done this with good results?
