Well after 2 1/2 years gathering dust and rust I will soon be working on the project again . Today is a very special day for me as of 2nd of May 2008
I now own a 3300cc Pauter modular engine . This is the new engine that I have decided on and after saving the funds for the best part of over 2 years
, today I am over $13000 out of pocket . If you think thats a lot of money just remember that is the 50% deposit needed to start producing the engine
components . I will be heading to the US in 3 weeks time to pay for and pick up the engine . I will let you know all of the spec's soon as I am now
able to produce a lot more horsepower than I had ever imagined . This engine components are built to my spec's and will be supplied as components
only , so a step by step building story will be posted as it happens . Thanks for all of the people that have supported me over the past 3 years ,
ROD.

Nice one big Fella. Be good to see another Volksy run in sport compact especially with the "big boys" like Pac and Dyson etc etc. Another piston
engine to keep the chook cookers honest!!

I am back in the country and cannot sleep due to the time difference , jet lag and draging 7 extremely heavy bags through customs containing lots of
aluninium , steel , cro-moly and titanium stuff . This stuff will be sorted and pic's posted in the next couple of days . I am starting to get real
enthusiastic again and will be ready to start it soon , ROD

Like Dave said, c'mon Rod. Teasing us with a 3.3 Pauter is not good.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

90mm x 108mm engine
Here are some quick pic's of the new engine . This engine has a billet flanged 90mm stroke with 108mm bore , ford main bearings , small block chev
large jnl big ends , 6.3'' cro-moly conrods , billet roller camshaft set-up with 281* @ .050 and .438 lift with 1.5 billet aluminium roller rockers
and a total of over .670 lift at the valve , 58mm titanium intakes and 44mm titanium exhaust valves , vasco 1.550'' triple springs and titanium
retainers and a centre flo 4 stage dry sump pump . This engine is built using a conventional style of copper head gasket as per a normal water cooled
engine , as the top of the cyl's and the base of the heads are machined flat . This engine combination has been previously tested and run in a sand
drag car in the US and is capable of producing over 1200 hp @ 35psi boost on a single turbo application . I hope you will enjoy the next couple of
months , ROD.

3.3 litres of fury! Looks the goods alright!
Have you given much thought about what the turbo setup will entail? Perhaps a pair of custom trimmed GT35R's or something simular to the HKS 3037's
they run in parallel in the 8 second GTR's. They are rated around 700hp each.
We are all keen to know your thoughts!
