and if you do, please post it here...

I saw a guy on the vwvortex yesterday, guy had a rotary engine in the back, NA, pushin 120 HP, now thats not bad......

hell, If I can get some nice numbers out of a non-vw engine, that would be a cool alternative to aircooled, but I dont think the judges at the air-cooled shows will liket hat too much.

Both Superman & H2OSB both have watercooled motors in their cars.

I have a Subaru Impreza turbo engine, probably about 250bhp!
All details are on my web site...

have you ever entered a competition with your car??

If so, did the judges let you participate, or did they let you run the quarter mile?

'Looks like someone has deleted a relavent post :confused:

The car has run a 15odd 1/4 but suffered as a result.

We're putting it right and then some RWYB at Big Bang and Bug Jam this year. The car was donated as a club project to be donated on when we've had our fun. I think the new VWDRC rules may allow it, not too sure. If this year goes well enough, we'll enter it in sportsman the following year.

'could have sworn I replied on the 24th, with a post about a twin rad, thermal syphon set-up for a Bug with wbx heads :confused:
we'll never know s'pose.

Was it in that "rear mounted radiator" thread? I didn't see it here in this one. Humm, there is only 4 people that could have deleted it, and it wasn't me. Keep in mind that no database is perfect and it is possible the post was just lost.

[MattKab]

It indeed be. Sorry for the confusion guys, only slightly embarrassed ;)

Moving swiftly back to watercooling, My plan for a water pumper is to use a 1.9 TDi motor in a (GL of course) T25 camper but I won't finish this Bug for another 8 years or so... and that's sticking to the schedule...

TDi appears to have massive tuning potential and I've driven a Golf. How quick? The new GTi is now diesel I believe.

Again, soz
