Pauter big block 3140cc type 4

[TSAF]

I've heard that Remmele is working on a 3.6-3.8l based upon a new crankcase.More specifically a 96 X 112 Type4 with his own case and Deutz Cylinder. (3700 ccm). Has anyone heard anything about that?

How much larger can they get? The BIG issue will be balancing the reciprocating mass and on such a short engine the crank is going to look horrible. I suspect that we will see a massive external damper and mallory plugs in the counterweights.

The Pauter Super Pro casing looks good but will 'only' accommodate 108mm pistons and note that they don't show the billet crank in any of the component photos. The Pauter is limited to 3.5 litres and reputedly put out over 900bhp and rev'd to 9k on the dyno!

Its a pity they do not persue the limits of the type 4 casing some more and instead put R&D time in a new case. I think there is much more to gain still, especially after he has casted his own heads.
If you start making your own case, its so far off anything VW, I start loosing interest. But thats entirely personal of course.
Its odd from a marketing standpoint too: there is loosing interest in most things performance type 4 related and then in a recession, a new case is being made!?
Cooling an even larger engine on the streets might be a challenge too...

That is true.A 3783cc. It´s in the works as we speak,but not available yet. It has 5 main bearings and the cam sits 6mm lower than a type 4 case.The cylinder spacing will be the same as a type 4 ,so he can use his heads,but with a wider studspacing IIRC and will have Deutz cylinders.The case will be able to use type 4 cams and lifters.

The 3 liter is already faster from 0-200km/h than the current 997 Porsche GT3 RS by about 1 second. The 3 liter in Remmele´s bug will make the sprint to 200Km/h in 11,5 seconds,top speed is about 250km/h.

Thats actaully pretty nice engineering wise
I am very doubtfull though how the thick short finned steel Deutz cylinders and his solid heads can cool cylinders that are that close together (now room for cooling air anymore between barrels). No air through the heads like original heads and no air through the cylinders must give cooling problems on the autobahn surely?

and that ^^ is very cool, but hard to believe as well It would mean a 1/4 mile time of low 11's. That seems hardly possible with his street weight and street tires...
