is it tomorrow yet?

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 ???

yup it'll be stamped on em

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

sweet :bounce

Oh, yeah - vw engines look mad with 8 plug leads..... good stuff.

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!

Sounds like your having fun mate. was it an exy job to have done ?

looken the goods wally

sounds like ya haven fun, would be awsome..
deon

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?

there was some discussion about it here

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

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!

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!)

do you think they will make my buggy faster if I wear them while I drive it?
:duh

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!!

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!
