Here we go again.........
off the shelf for how much complete and running
alot!
That's double what my car puts out! Crikey.
great now everyone's gonna want one 
:P
What ^ said :thumb
hmm, maybe if I sold my whole car I could afford a 120+HP vw motor (not pobjoy specific, any big vw shop).
Then I'd have to save up to buy a car to put it in...
And I'd love to go back to carbies, a lack of heating, a lack of low end smoothness, occasional difficult starting, regular maintenance, a low
amp alternator...
hmm, on second thought's I think I will keep my V6 Baja.
Seriously though, 120HP out of a VW motor is great.
how did i know that one was coming?:P
wouldn't you get more than $7000 for tour car Wes?????:jesus
yeah, but youd still need significantly more than $7k for a pobjoy steroids.
Wonderful motors for the rich and famous amongst us.

Fair dinkum -some of you blokes would whinge if you won the lottery...
This is close to the ultimate road-going VW that is capable of taking on and winning in weekend club comp. If you want to go fast without spending too
much money, buy a 10-year-old fast Jap bike. If, however, you want to have serious fun in a fast Beetle, set aside about 10K for one of these
steroids engines. That will get you
Magnum heads
94 P&Cs
Alloy big block case
CW Pobjoy stock stroke reinforced crank
Suitable cam and lifters
44IDF webers
reco rods
balanced
All machining
Assembly by arguably the best VW builder in the world
warranty
You need to supply late sbeetle engine for exchange rods, crank etc and accessories such as alterantor/generator, stand etc
If you don't want one, don't buy one and don't whinge about one. And I'll see you on the streets...:P

....I've got a steroids that I paid less than $7000 for and a "standard" Pobjoy that cost less than $6200 complete with carbs
etc(full turnkey) Why spend the $$$ on carbs when you can have fuel injection as described in other posts on the forum??? Whats stopping you getting a
longblock minus tinware/carbs??Do you really need the alloy case?? It will always come down to $$ and how much you want to spend regardless of who
builds it. The final cost is up to the purchaser:bounce

gee craig, anyone would think that you are hoping for a discount on your next motor....
they may seem like a lot of money but after riding in a car fitted with one and feeling the back end squirming under acceleration... on race slicks
(with the motor only getting 2/3's throttle due to the acc cable adjustment) it all seems worth it.
after that run i want one... so far i have been slowly collecting the bits for a few years and am still a few years off, but i'm willing to wait
as i only want to spend the cash once.
Craig Is that carbies or EFI.??
Great HP if its carbies... can believe it more than the yanks HP output readings.
that was with carbies. 44IDFs
Is that your motor Cool ??
Thats great
That's amazing power out of an engine still using some standard parts (rockers etc).....must be more than happy with that!!!. What type of CB 044's ? are they CNC wedge,round etc.What compression? tell more....tell more.....
may i please see the dino sheet soo i can see wheather you have your hand on the scales...?????
Well Alexandra,
The Dyno tuning was done at CBB by Mike on a Dynamic Dyno using Shootout Mode.
I'm sure he will confirm for you.
Yes there is a printout, the owner has it.
And yes the Dyno run had several witnesses including Dave Stoker.
Just except that when it comes to engine building "Stan's the Man". And for tuning Mikes the man
man I think I am in the twilight zone, everyone is behaving so well
keep it up guys :thumb
