First of all what is a good engine case? i'm looking at building a 2300 liters or less. i heard it's a bad idea to have a reinforced #3 cylinder?
what should i be looking at for a performance case?

Try the new Aluminium case as they have a high roof area so as to fit a counter weighted crank easier
It also has a filled in section for the bore on number 3 cylinder when your boring the case out to take the larger barrels you need this area filled in
Unless you find a new type manesium case dont bother trying to make a big capacity engine from an old case as it will cost you more in the long run
the Alloy case is slightly heavier than the Magnesium one but with the extra capacity you wont worry about the weight

2300 litres? probly wont fit in a bug.. or even a kombi... maybe a cruise liner...
not to offend - but decide what you want. then research. read. then ask.
nick
maybe a better question to ask would be - are there any popular links online for building a performance motor?

Of course it will but as Bond suggests2300 litres? probly wont fit in a bug..
do some research
Learner ·
did my research best would be a stock case. i just got to make sure what i put in it all is compactible and set up properly. best cooling systerm at affordable price is the stock doghouse system.
Craig Torrens ·
best of luck 👍

The first thing to research is whether you have $5000+ in the bank - because that's at least what a well-built engine will cost

2300 litres... lol... i still dont think this will fit in a bug....

Buy an Alloy case other wise your gunna waste a lot of money
Learner ·
yes it will fit... well i would buy an alloy case if i can find one that hasn't been modified at th #3 cylinder.

He can do any machining on it that you need.

Nobody seems to get the joke: 2300 litres is probably big enough to power a container ship so no, probably won't fit a VW's bumLearner wrote:yes it will fit... well i would buy an alloy case if i can find one that hasn't been modified at th #3 cylinder.
2300 CC might be more like it
You might be better off with a Type IV based engine if you need/want that capacity - but as I hinted, check the bank balance first...

yeah well ppl no fighting we all know i meant 1300cc right? hehe i'm goin through genberg. he is personaly helping me out (at a distance)

Why do you want a case that hasnt been modded at the No.3 cylinder?? That is the weak spot in the case. The new Aluminium cases have made a change to fix this......
The $700 spent on a new case will save you $$$$

no he isn't but i like to think so. about the # 3 cylinder check out his website (gene berg) it really does make sence not too. save the money to put it in something more usefull.

That'll be a BIG distance...Learner wrote:yeah well ppl no fighting we all know i meant 1300cc right? hehe i'm goin through genberg. he is personaly helping me out (at a distance)
Do you have any more than the $2000 you said your budget was?

Im in the market for a new case for a stroker im building and $700 sounds like a good deal, who does them for that price and what branding do they carry Craig? last time I enquired I was quoted over the $1.1k mark :oCraig Torrens wrote:Ally case................best $700 you will spend.
I have an okay as41 but if I can get the right case for a good price, I'll just use the as41 for a stock stroke engine for my bug, save me clearancing and the like, havent screwed a VW motor together for 19yrs so anything that can save me time and brain matter is a good thing. ( and oh so shiney new ones looks the dogs bollocks too 🙂 )
