56astro 路

1916, Kads, quiet pac

should be good for about 400-500hp at the wheels

馃榾

Dasdubber 路

At the moment there is a big space in my engine bay, but soon to come will be a 2L type IV with 40dells and upright cooling....lightened flywheel, mild cam, should be fun! Looking forward to the torque.

Unity-28 路

1835 in the Notch, Who knows in the bug (not ready for a donk yet!) Maybe a 1776, But not sure yet!

Brad 路

So far so good, I am very happy with it. Till I hit 5000km and some hard work I don't want to say to much. So far it is smooth and leak free, tappet covers leak but I will swap them in 100km time when I do the 1500km service on her.
I took a heap of photos when I built it so I can compare the cases. You can see the begining of teh story at http://www.offroadvw.net/buggybrad/images/Bluemanx/engine.htm

VWCOOL 路

1916 in the Oval, a 1300 in bits for the Country Buggy, a 253 cuber in the Kewy and a 5.0 in the HSV

moonlite6t6beetle 路

currently i am engineless but i am now looking for a 1600 twi n port to be stroked to 2L running the same system that johnboy does.

:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

amazer 路

I dont have a hood, or a bonnet, or a boot, or a trunk. Just an engine lid.

devilbug 路

2.1 litre in a swb manx,1641 in a low 66 beetle.:bounce

Doug Sweetman 路

A much maligned 1835, counterweighted and balanced bottom end, 044 heads. Let down by a slipping clutch and kadron carbies cos I cant afford to get my 40 IDF's set up 馃檪.

Maybe one day injection...... 馃檪

amazer 路

Ive got a garage wall thats powered by a 2 litre type 4, a 1600 type 3, and 3 or 4 36horsers.

Golde60 路

i got a ground pounding 1500 twin port, with 40 horses at the rear wheels.

(damn it dean, it sounds better if you dont mention the missing aircleaner!馃檪)

and Golde will have a 2L T4, with allmost identical set up to dasdubber when shes done.

engine is in the garage at the mo

i hope to get about 100hp at the flywheel, so if i break 70 at the rears i will be very pleased.

Golde60 路

it will be uprighted (obviously),
mild cam, twin 40 dels, compufire, extractors, lightened flywheel.
all rebuilt and balanced.

cant wait.:bounce
:bounce

dubcab 路

Well , the Victa 160cc 2-stroke is pissing people off who drive behind my bus because of the 'excess' smoke. So I think I'll drop the briggs and straton 6hp big block out of the rider mower tmura. I think I can hear banjo's playin next door.:alien

OvalGlen 路

1916 Pobjoy Machined - Decompressed to 7.8 : 1 , special ground cam for near standard overlap with more duration / lift pushing 1.4 rockers.
Counterweighted crank / lightened flywheel , forged pistons All balanced.
Straight cut cam gear , ported heads , 1 5/8 merged drag extractors into 2 1/2 pipe.
Awaiting supercharger - but hauling just fine above 3000 at present.

Quickbug 路

i just brought a 2.3l which should make 130hp@the wheels four my beetle
Whats wrong with it?
Has it dropped a rod??
Blown a piston???
Can we get some specs on it plz?
My 2180cc puts out more than that...provided it was back in my car and not sitting on a bench....

manx020 路

strong 1916 T1 in the manx.
typical oil leaking 2.0l in the kombi.
200kw 5.0l in the statey.

cmon lets not go there - we all saw the dyno day outputs. My 1776 got all of 61 ponies - Jak 90 sumfin

130 out of a detuned whacked together beast AT THE WHEELS is real life!

What was the dyno out put of your 2.1L?

amazer 路

jaks 90 hp is more than enough to stick it up a lot of the porsches, so I would like to watch something with 50% more power than that have a go.

130 is a serious peice of cake. Lets hope this 2180 sees its way to the next dyno day so we can see what 140-150 looks like. Its all so easy to talk the talk.

jakriz 路

Yeh & My new motor would be 100 at the wheels & maybe a little more. I reckon if I had Keiths motor (2387cc) on the track that I would not be able to keep it on the black stuff, it's that quick, & that was an untuned 120hp @ the wheels!
I've also driven it again in dieters sorted superbug & it breaks traction just booting it in second gear.

This is my new motor.2027cc engine
73mm hand welded crank
CB Perf. chevy journaled Chromoly H-beam race rods (5.7 inch)
94mm 'b' pistons
Total Seal rings
9.0 compression
040 heads with 40 x 35.5 valves with full port & polish
45mm dells with CB update kit with match ported straight shot manifolds
1.5 inch merged header
fully balanced & blueprinted
Berg dual springs & Berg chromoly pushrods
Berg 1.45 rockers
Steel Billet cam ground to K-8 specs
555thou lift , 298 duration

It's no V-6 'killer' but it's enough for me for now................until the end of the year.

56astro 路

Sounds like there's a sequal there Jak?

Peter Leonard 路

Mine's a V6 killer. 馃榾
bwahaaaahaahahhahha

Che Castro 路

yeah mines a 1600 SP, with only about 3500 miles on it since being built last year. put out 39 RWHP. Its actually kinda zippy in a lighter early beetle, enuf to drag and beat some ppl 馃檪

buzzbug 路

it is sad to say that i have the original 1300 that is on its way out too .
there will be a 1600 in there in the next couple of weeks though.

helbus 路

Rear wheel horsepower is one of the truest measurements of your vehicles power.
The questions from there are
Is it streetable?
Is it sustainable?
Is it able to get it to the ashphalt?
Can the driver manage it? 馃榾

56astro 路

Yes

Yes

Yes

I think so, though not as good as some.

馃榾

Peter Leonard 路

What astro said.

so maybe we should start a noxious horsepower thread. or a power to weight ratio thread.
i nominate silverwater auto services dyno as the sydney dyno benchmark, am i insane?

"How many horsies under your hood/hatch/lid/bonnet?"

I reckon there's enough interest in the topic (although some may question its intrinsic value) to have it's own leedle posi. Something for the revheds amongst us (i know there are many... own up ya bastards) to play with.
of course there will probably be a lot of wanking. and stroking. and interest. Someone know how to do a poll?

Peter Leonard 路

once a year all the state finalists could meet to find the tuffest.. we could have set categories... like vw and non vw, naturally aspirated vs forced... anyone interested? it could even go international... :o
aussieveedubbers vs the world!!
maybe i should go to bed. 馃榾

Peter Leonard 路

somewhere... off in the distance... a cricket chirped...

looks like there's at least gonna be another dyno day in Sydney, so we'll have some more horsepower and engine combo figures for everyone to drool over. myself included. 馃榾

72TWINCAB 路

Type 4, 2 litre with twin delorto and extractors:P
