who knows what the highest horsepower engine combo is with vw heads in australia( either n/a or other)??
I'll sell them to you Troy.
... and the rest of the engine?
Gee your fast Reubs. You know the rules , firsts dibs to you on anything I sell.
hahaha... cheers dude. We all know you're not about to sell
anything though 
I was going to say RR's,
but Rene in adelaide has a set that made 200 at the flywheel on 2387cc.
They had the exhaust guide moved over to allow a 48mm intake valve in there.
Yes they were for sale last time I asked,(no valves.... they were Ti and robbed fo his new heads))
but are only 040 castings from memory.
.... but despite claims to the contrary,
the 040 and 043 castings can work ,and seal up fine, on 94 bores.
I made about 275hp on my 1775cc blower engine, with 043s (127mph@1750 or so),
and wallys turbocharged engine made more usable power,(no blower losses) with my old 40x35, 044s
i would WANT 044 as theres more meat up in the chamber area and they will last longer
rather than the 040 or 043s
I have the 044s on my daily driver and no probs with heat disipation

yeah so STOCK heads dont give u horsepower dont waste yr money
start with something that can be up graded 044s
this topic was brought up in conversation the other day and was just wondering what power people had made starting with a stock vw head and modifying them to whatever they wanted to make power. o44 are still the same as a stock in shape, unlike comp eliiminators and the like if you know what i mean
WESTI 230HP @ WHEELS N/A ON 044'S
According to calculations on paper westi should be making around 216-220HP with that head, valve, displacement combo.
230HP is a true testament of westi's workmanship and ability to seriously push the boundaries in the NA vw scene, not surprising if you guys get more
out of the heads.
rock on.
What's westi's best time/mph and weight?
I think it depends on who has the biggest packet of alloy welding rods lol to weld em up lol
Westi's are unwelded I believe.

I think I may have spotted the cause of your recent engine woes.....

.............you need another 19,999 coins dude !
in 2006 I took a stock pair of 2 litre type-4 heads and modified them for my turbo oval . There was a considerable amount of welding and porting
perfomed on the heads , 50x41mm titanium valves fitted on ally-bronze valve seats and the results were as follows .
360bhp @ the rear wheels on 24psi boost.....
These heads are still in good condition and are about to be fitted to my sports sedan , to make way for the new combo going into the oval .
Crikey Wayne.....they're HUGE 
Looks like a hole in one
Wow Wayne, how did you go with the pushrod tubes around the stub pipes - must have been very tight?
hey wayne, whats the new combo for the oval???

I hear Hermann (here in WA) is making an estimated 450 with his turbo TIV ragtop.... It was closer to 500 (South African dyno!) in its last guise, but
he dropped the comp and did a little more headwork when he fitted it into his Bug.... Stock 2ltr bottom-end so he tells us too.... 
Hopefully get him on a dyno sometime soon...
CB 044 castings un ported with 87mm bore on a 1641. Made 165 rwhp and 746nm of torque (3rd gear run)to the tyes with my first turbo vw motor.
The same motor run up naturally aspirated with a pair of 40 IDF webbers made 36 rwhp in 4th gear.
Really shows how heads is where the power is, and nothing overcomes flow restrictions like a boost does.
