VW engine making 211 HP

Comments on 'VW engine making 211 HP'

1. I gotta have it LOL Be nice in my baja bug
2. ive read somewhere a T1 tranny had around a 14% power loss,
   at 15% power loss, its putting 180 hp to the ground. 150 hp
   would be 28% power loss, and you would have a very hot
   transaxle. off course, a T1 trans is only good for 120hp on
   road, so he would probably be running somthing like a 009
   bus trans
3. what cam?
4. Im amazed at looking through these comments how many
   professional beetle tuners and customizers their are. Im
   sure all of them have driving licenses and are not 16 your
   old kids.
5. it is a 2006cc engine or 2L
6. I remember my grandpa made 433 to the ground on his. he
   would always turn wrenches on that thing!!!
7. its making 211 hp but its probably not putting that much to
   the wheels. still sick though. its probably putting around
   150 or more to the wheels which is still really good for a
   bug.
8. Vw flat four is a 4 stroke bud. It's light cause it's air
   cooled, not alot of metal in it and the crank case is
   magnesium.
9. For anyone who wants an engine like this one and lives in
   California, Los Angeles near the San Fernando Valley, send
   me a msj, real good prices, 1835cc starting at$1500ex.
10. ya, i'll go with you on that one.
11. yeah but it depends what u want to do with it. for me i
    didnt really have to do anything. And with the electrical i
    always make my own electrical harness anyways so its easy.
12. but harder to customized because of the different frame and
    electrics
13. perfect for racing though cus of its suspension and there
    width.
14. you dont know shit from shinola
15. cool!
16. any bottom end work?
17. watch, a few runs later it will have hammered the rocker
    adjusting screws all flat and lost most of its power. Thats
    if it don't over heat first... lol go with a rotary!
18. lol i want one of these to meke a dune buggy!!!!!!
19. you must mean 11.9 in the 1/8th
20. Sounds pretty lethal.
21. No, because it is horizontally opposed, which cancels out
    the vibration.
22. Apparently because it's well tuned, and bolted in good.
23. how come it doesnt vibrate at all??
24. that is a fucking thing of beauty!!
25. Doubt the fan is lightened. Reinforced though. Specs are
    probably 84mm crank, 94mm piston from Mahle, Wiseco, or JE,
    K87 or larger (even though a small cam CAN be used to
    acheive big numbers), 044 castings with extensive port work,
    and of course IDAs.
