Wanted: NGN
Howdy all you Aussie Vee Dubbers,
I am in a difficult situation at the moment. I am looking to hotrod my 64 beetle, and as alot of you enthusists read this you will probably shake your
head and sigh, i am asking for your help on building a quick engine for it. Now my first problem is that i have no idea what enginge i have in my
beetle. Now to help you guys, help me. My engine in my beetle tho, being unknown it has a stamping in the side of the block, something like hi-comp or
something, he said that he thought the stamping ment "it had been bored out to 1800" i am atrtempting to ask the previous owner what it is marked,as
he knows what it is (i remember him telling me when i bought it) However i am still unsure.
Anyways, my goal is to build a quick twin port carburettored motor, most likely to run 044 heads and dual webvers, a stroker crank, cam cahnge ect...
however by the "feeeel" of my motor it certainly isnt a 1800, however it feels a little gutsier than a 1300... it is currently only a single port,
on a stocko de rocko carby.
Anyways, getting to the point, under the circumstances that my engine fails to be an 1800 bore. I am after a 1600 twin port motor to start with. I am
currently short of cash... understandably as i am 16, doing TEE, only holding a casual job.
Hoqwever any help of whereabouts would b great
cheers Corey

without being smart you would be better off buying the bug with the 1916 already in it saves alot of the folding stuff and than you get to sell the
bug with your old donk in and may be break even it works for me

no offence here but you do realize you are talking $4 - 5k here ... ON THE CHEAP??
case - 1k
crank - 1k
heads - 1k
carbs - 1k
havent even talked rockers, cam, rods, exhaust etc etc
I agree with Greedy.
Buy that 1916. Ship it over and have fun
Futue te ipsum!!!

how much is a 1916k whats its HP
the money isnt a future issue, see i have been building a HQ ute for the past 8 months and it is looking really trick, it has a 253 V8 and i will be
asking 7k b ut would take 5... that will fund the bug.

have seen 250hp out of turbo 1914's and even 1835s correctly set up, depending on weight, can do low 11s, N/A 1914s will get 100-150hp usually,
without trying to be contraversial and will do 13s
if you get a stock 1600 tp and slap a turbo on like a cb performance one for example, which is reliable as, get 90hp and will do 14's ballpark but
depends what you want.
also, you said your engine felt gutsier than a a 1300, if it hasnt been bored it could possibly be a single port 1500 - they go like a shower of shit
for what they are, industrial motors.
if stroking, 2110 seems good for streeting and reliability, 2332 is up there and depending on cam may not be much of a driver. read in vwtrends of a
2332 with mild cam, huge turbo set up, pulling close to 400hp, which was driveable and would hammer but you're talking serious $$, you'd probly have
to sell three holdens to finance it lol
goodluck, hope that helps, hopefully such figures wont spark too much shit.
