Thats the crazy stuff I'm talking about.

I was thinking we should build virtual engines via this forum in different price ranges with maximized power and components (as mentioned above).

Just an idea to help those out looking for max performance.

great idea, it would be useful also for me... I'll upgrade my stock typ4 as I have $$...but having the correct ideas means less $! so do it guys!

We can do Type 1 and Type 4 to start.

Type 1's 1915, 2007 etc. Again something in the range of affordability and drivability with maximum power and components. Also Type 4's.

We need to pick a Type and size and start. Would love to see where we end up. Also see if any body has the Dough to build the virtual engine.

Just thinking out loud.

P.S. It would be a bias choice for me to start with a Type 1 1915cc

Hello guys,
Its been a while since my last post...
I will update my other post...

About making a virtual engine, ive started already about 1 month ago, and it is a pain... im doing it just for me cos i got software to do it, but i will have a spare engine to measure from mid july where i will be back home, but i will start working again on that by september. Also trying to make a 3d model of a 16 valve similar to the one Bug@5 speed has on his website.

Chris

The virtual engine doesn't have to be with software rather on paper and we can discuss the components. Just an idea to help us guys new guys.

@eleV8-dude: you forgot aerodynamics. imho one of the most important factors in reaching higher speed.

No, that won't get you at high speed on the Autobahn: it'll probably melt before you even reach the highway...
It needs to be something that will stay alive for a little longer than 10 seconds or 402 meters

and have a 'VW' stamp on the engine case as well, otherwise you could just Suby or V8 the thing and be done with it..

how bout a high reving 1641cc? thats what I want, something that will be reliable but run 6-7k no prob, not that Id rev it that high though, but just tfor bragging rights to say it can rev that high

hell ya 16v heads i think would really make a type 1 or 4 engine come alive
i've seen a couple diff sites on the net where guys have gone to overhead cams
(porsche 911 heads) required tons of mods but it looked cool 4 valve per cylinder heads and overhead cams could make your powerband very long!!
