61 slammed Pobjoyed rocket!

Ryno17 - July 16th, 2011 at 10:23 PM

Hi All

Just thought I would show off my new weapon.
Its a 1961 original paint (mostly) bug
She now has

4.5" narrowed adjustable beam DUB
Wide 5 front disk breaks
Adjustable rear spring plates
Pro street Rancho trany
Empi trany strap kit
Solid mounts
Stan Pobjoy built 1916cc Twin ignition Steroids on steroids engine built around an alloy case.

Am more than stoked with the HP this puts out. Nothing more exhilarating and demoralizing (for the bogan) when you blow off a current SS commodore at the lights or anywhere. Have so much fun in this car!

I hope you like the pics

Not sure exact HP so I wont say.
Pro street landed at my door after all taxes freight etc etc about $1600
Will post some more pics once I get down south. In the middle of a move at the moment.

Parts cost around 7 grand all up sourced myself from USA and oz. Labour for Stan to machine and assemble is very fair in my opinion. Wont say on a public forum.
I have owned a Pobjoy built Steroids engine in the past and couldn't kill it. As long as you maintain the engine to Stans spec. Then a ex mate of mine bought it off me and obused it but still to this day she go's fine. Thats 10 years of abuse. So when I decided to get back into a fast VW it was a no brainer. Like all things in life in my opinion you get what you pay for.

Just dont want to put my foot in it. If you want to know how much labour is just give him a bell.

Gracey - July 17th, 2011 at 09:22 PM

Yeah real secret, you could just look at his site he has his machining prices on there.

Hi Gracey
Standard gearing. But all gears are welded with a beefed up diff etc. So far have had no problems but will pop out of first when you back off the revs hard. Might be a shifter issue to. Will try sort it one day..

$3000 plus parts

LOWBUG - July 18th, 2011 at 09:03 PM

I'd be surprised if it made more than 120 to 130 ATW, still good though.

Craig Torrens - July 18th, 2011 at 09:06 PM

I'd be suprised as well.

LOWBUG - July 18th, 2011 at 09:09 PM

Never understood the extra sparkplug deal

Craig Torrens - July 18th, 2011 at 09:16 PM

Many people don't.
