Vw 1300 72'

[-Alex-]

I got flanged crank with flywheel, Scat billet / forged 86 stroke, all t4 mains, chevy rod journals.

[-Alex-]

I have chosen this setrab 490x136x40 oilcooler, it will be mounted to the mendeola bulkhead. It isnt straight at the airstream, so i may need to make ducting to the oilcooler, is there any front spoiler for that has hole or "mouth"r?

[-Alex-]

I am thinking exact location and angle for oilcooler, hot air does need to be displace somehow. Maybe making few round holes to the mendeola front plate(!)

I might go also for custom made front spoiler that has hole and airchannel that directs air to the cooler.





This went to order, at the moment only 3 kits left So many ratios to choose between 2-5th gears..

With albins/weddle gears including mainshaft and strong transaxle case, trans should be quite strong.





These ratios were recommended by Rancho, speeds are at 3000rpm

Choice 1:


R&P 4.13

1. 3.11= 28.28 km/h

2. 1.93 = 45.57 km/h

3. 1.3 = 67.66 km/h

4. 0.93 = 94.58 km/h

5. 0.77 = 114.23 km/h


RPM drop when shifting to bigger gear

1-2 1240rpm

2-3 980rpm

3-4 850 rpm

4-5 520rpm






Choice 2:


R&P 4.13

1. 3.11 = 28.28 km/h

2. 1.93 = 45.57 km/h

3. 1.35 = 65.15 km/h

4. 1.04 = 84.57 km/h

5. 0.77 = 114.23 km/h


RPM drop when shifting to bigger gear

1-2 1240rpm

2-3 900rpm

3-4 690 rpm

4-5 780rpm





Choice 3:

R&P 4.13

1. 2.90 = 30.33 km/h

2. 1.86 = 47.29 km/

3. 1.26 = 69.81 km/

4. 0.93 = 94.58 km/h

5. 0.77 = 114.23 km/h


RPM drop when shifting to bigger gear

1-2 1080rpm

2-3 970rpm

3-4 790 rpm

4-5 520rpm

[-Alex-]

Okay, i went with these ratios ( 3000rpm ), theoritically 250km/h is achieved at 6570rpm.



1. 3.44= 25.5 km/h

2. 1.93 = 45.5 km/h

3. 1.3 = 67.7 km/h

4. 1.00 = 88 km/h

5. 0.77 = 114.2 km/h

Also been talkin to Thorsten Pieper, i am going to buy his bare heads and stuff them with type 4 48x38 valves and JPM springs and retainers. And little porting







One finnish guy said by looking the pictures that JPM heads are a lot of better and theirs intake ports are better flowing and more straight than Thorstens heads. Yeah right

I cannot see the difference..
