so what are the benefits?
more power? does it run cooler too?
is it an electronic setup?

nice looking ride :thumb

so what size carbies did you swap 2 ???
pyr0 ·
yup it'll be stamped on em 😉
Doug Sweetman ·
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

Oh, yeah - vw engines look mad with 8 plug leads..... good stuff.
pete wood ·
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!

Hey Wally
Was this the 1st type 4 that Stan fitted the twin plugs?
Looks way 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.winerot wrote:pete

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

If he does, he could throw in a pair of free 'double plug' thongs as an accesory. :thumb

Hi Bix
Stan is doing my Street Eliminators! 😉

Craig Torrens ·
Bix,
Stan has just done my Street Eliminators as well, ....................arriving back tomorrow.
(Stan's open wheeler also has twin plugs and has eliminators)
T4's,044's, Eliminators,standard have all been done.
Twin plugs only available on complete engine package.
(unless you negotiate!)

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!!😉
t2 ·
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.

Hey Wally
What's it like with the aircon on as far as power goes?
That really is a sweet Kombi!

You now have what MOST type 2 owners would Love.....
a more powerful engine with air conditioning......
and I'd keep those Bumpers white or run with Your headlamps on, as dark colours can be very difficult to be seen on the highways....
You don't want a head on....
I have been running with My headlamps on since My 1971 type 3 variant back in the 70s.....
and it was white..... so I usually run with headlamps on on the highways.... Makes a big difference to people coming towards You and the people in front of You... IMHO....
Great type 2 -- probably the best on Aussie Vee Dubbers...
It sure looks that way to me....
Have You considered running larger diameter tyres to reduce fuel economy...
and finally - do You have to use High Octane Fuel or just the old 91 octane.....

looks great wally
I reckon the front numberplate would look good if it was on the side, instead of having it below the rubber strip... looks a bit like bugs bunny
