Title: 2387cc vw t1 engine. Post by: Bad bug on January 12, 2013, 02:58:45 am Good day all,
Am i out there for thinking of building a 2387 cc vw daily driver. I want louds of torque naturally without a turbo at first then this engine will see a turbo in it's last configuration. Can i say have a 200 ft/lbs torque monster with this size engine. Title: Re: 2387cc vw t1 engine.

What was the engine like before you turboed it torque wise. Title: Re: 2387cc vw t1 engine. Post by: dragvw2180 on January 26, 2013, 14:17:41 pm I built it specifically for turbo so never was N/A . Torque with the turbo under boost is amazing , when It gets in forth gear under boost it sounds like a freight train behind me. You definately need to gear it high so that the engine can use the torque . I am sure everyone is tired of the vid of my race car but It is a good example of what a street engine can do.
