aporscha parts had a twin turbo type 4 motor developing 750nm of torque.
by the look of the cooling for the motor it mustn,t run for long and Pauter get 600 to 800hp out of the motors.
Remmele gets 250hp N/A. maybe there all things you pull a pin out of and throw

Awsome looking car.
How does that cooling system work?

Id hazzard a guess that the cooling system is more or less none existent.... It would seem to be more of a drag engine than a serious road engine.... And it prolly runs on methanol in which case cooling the engine is not such a big issue..... What shrouding and fan that may be used is more than likely just to keep the temp down while staging at the strip....

I tried to get flow,s on the vw fan @ idle & max rev and on the porsche fan because a tech at graig davis was going to try and workout for me how to use 2 thermo fans to cool the motor .

Looks like water cooled heads and air flow over the barrels.
Also looks like a water boxer case.

certainly isn't a street car. there's no alternator/gennie in sight. huge long intake runners. I would have thought you'd want the injectors closer to the ports too. What's the idea with that?

600 Hp from 1.5 bar boost eh?
Thats 600 Hp from 22psi...................sure it is! Thats a mighty big claim from modest boost 4 banger dont you think???
Whats it revving at to make those numbers........10,500 frikken RPM?
Capacity, 3.5 litre? More perhaps? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...........:crazy:

Fancy looking bit of kit tho. Hats off to the fabricator! yee-har!

It's Finnish (the .fi in the URL kind of gives it away...)

The machine translation I got is more amusing than informative:

Here boxerimoottorissa is much happy entity engine käyttöalueen vis-a-vis. Engine striking required output circa ahdoilla. Engine is measured 480hv/580nm torsion bar ), circa 6000rpm whereupon sutiminen liquor ( no lubrication measure pitemmälle ). Felon koneessa is circa bar ahdot , when engine generate circa 600hv. Auto became unseeing lamb erilaisissa tapahtumissa earnest alastarolla,ja muissa vastaavissa tapahtumissa around marshland.

Which means what exactly???? Bugger of a translation... Its almost humourous!

I think there is an alt down the bottom of the engine to the right.... Look closely there... You can see a pulley and belt.....

And I think your right about the WBX crankcase and watercooled heads Dave.... And i think its twin turbo too!.... Big ass turbos at that!

if this is a street car , makes my oval look like a church goer . Hope his numbers match the papers .... all of them , especially those multiple engine numbers !!
EXCELLENT ENGINEERING THOU AND A BEAUTIFUL BUG !!

Don't worry Wayne, your car is still a street car in my eyes, but please be careful out on the street.
