ed roth would be proud, but do 2 smaller ones really work better than one bigger one?

Type 1 VW case......nice

Craig Torrens - April 4th, 2004 at 05:32 PM

VERY NICE...................tell us more, how many cc's, HP etc.
look's like a weapon !!

My brother inlaw has just done a 9.2 in his rotary, that's with 600hp at the wheels. This Type 1 must be pumping out some power!!!

HotRodMatt - April 5th, 2004 at 06:59 AM

1916cc.

66fastback - April 13th, 2004 at 02:54 PM

Did this run on the weekend? If so, any idea how it went?

Cam - April 13th, 2004 at 05:56 PM

What 66fastback said!

Damn that motor is a sight for sore eyes

OvalGlen - April 15th, 2004 at 10:15 PM

Had some problems on the Dyno,
Ended up re-building the whole thing for the following
weekend.
Did a gentle settling in Pass ( way too Rich ) and got 10.4 sec
and 130.5 MPH.
- turned Up wick a little on second run and got 10.36 sec
and 129.88 MPH .
but checking in Pits found something was wrong and
wanted to pull motor down to check before any more runs so that was all we got.

Cam - April 15th, 2004 at 11:01 PM

Nice!!! Any dyno numbers as yet?

So you guys are aiming for high 9's then?

OvalGlen - April 29th, 2004 at 09:17 PM

Cam, the twin blower set up made Heaps more boost
than I imagined. The Excessive boost caused Big Problems in the Engine.
Mike's development has Now gone beyond what a Type 1 case can
deliver.
Mike has decided to move to the next stage of his Drag car development.............. we will all have to wait and see.
and yes he will get into the high 9's, but this then puts doubt on the chassis ability to keep it straight - will get Hairy.!
