hey guys.
just wondering if anyone can fill me on engine options for my type 3. i've got the standard 1600 at the moment but wouldn't mind something a bit quicker.
thanx

Welcome T3 kid

by the way you have posted in the wrong place but never mind.

There is a big world of motors
stock
mild 1776
wild 2110+

then there is the world of turbo

Type 4 conversions for LOTS of torque.


It is not a simple answer.
The first question is "How much do i want to spend?"
Is it a "daily driver or a weekend warrior"

To get some idea you need to read a few books to understand what is available,

A simple understanding is available at
http://www.aircooled.net  and go to the tech sections, There are some good simple areas of what is available.

Another good area is ww.shoptalkforums.com and there is a link to Tom Notch's section. He has a great T3 site with a huge T4 motor

But you need to pick 2 of the following - and only 2
fast
reliable
cheap

i got a 1916 in my fastie....
goes well!
