  6. Thats why i was shocked to see a 1600 in yours at the weekend dude i always thought you had a type four


    I wonder if anyone has the plans for the old bolt on supercharger conversion
    There was an original one on justkampers a few years ago

  8. There was that white 1303 in volksworld a few years ago that had a centrally mounted draw thru system with a holley 4 barrel carb on it...

    buggered if i can remember the name of it tho!!

    but a turbo is better.. you're using waste to produce more power, whereas a supercharger robs power to run...

  12. We'll have a go this winter changing my 2,4 T4 from a more "raceish" to a "dieselish" kind of engine.
    Less bhp more tourqe.
    So, next scc our hope is, That Jørgen, new owner of my old Blueboy, will close up on sub 16, and me, a camper that feels just like it had a "Best engine for a bus" :)
    I'll take pics and let you know how goes and what parts being used/swopped from Jørgen's 2056ccm.

  15. I get totally lost when I read the stuff from Paul and Holmsen. You blokes are incredibly talented. And I'm jealous. I ain't got a clue when it comes to this sort of stuff.
     
  16. I'm not doing anything with it myselves, just hope what i liked to be done with it is the right things to do :)

  18. Low down torque is more usuable on the street than high revving bhp especially in somthing as heavy as a bus

    Im not new to engines as such but im new to carb fed and air cooled engines so im really interested in this build holmson
