found out the specs on my motor well some off them...

maybe tim is interested...if he isn't spraying weeds

It has a 84mm crank the case has been clearanced for this.

92mm barrels and pistons *not sure if they are flat top or not...will find out sooner or later.

044 head not sure on the valve sizes but i know they are larger than standard 044 head ones

twin 48 IDA's

and i dunno what else... but i have been looking around and it should hopefully run an 11 sec 1/4 without trying too hard

(if i get traction

)

2.2L! Nice

2234cc to be exact! hahaha

Nice sounding setup stu & should be very streetable. Especially with that capacity.

What's your cam of choice?

Will sound pretty good on 48 IDA's, no doubt!

I'm not a big believer in the 11sec 1/4 though sorry.

You need alot of power in a beetle to run that fast & a hell of alot of work to run that aspirated!

I remember a melb. bloke who was making 400+hp with a turbo'd 2.2L beetle & was only just running high 11's. That's with slick's, all the suspension mod's etc.

Do a search on the blue VOLLKOMMEN ART "stylin" turbo'd beetle.

Also check on aussieveedubbers for Dave Butler's 11.00et @ 121mph beetle.

This thing is crazy & aspirated! Nothing stock about this beetle

2699cc, 14:1 CR, Methanol/injected.

Can't find the weight, but it isn't heavy!

It's too soon to be talking times without the overall engine, suspension package, but I'm sure you will be happy with it!

**thestu** · 09-02-2009, 08:46 PM

this is true maybe i'm just too hope full

well its the biggest cam you can get for a beetle motor i was told...aparently you can't run it in 4th at 60 or it will caugh and splutter...

i can't wait

should sounds the tits! but i hate to think how much fuel it will consume

can't wait to get stuck in and rebuild it
