Title: Re: Once again, leave it to speedwell: HOT VWs Rag to Ripper Engine Post by: speedwell on October 05, 2007, 15:57:00 pm 8) last one
Title: Re: Once again, leave it to speedwell: HOT VWs Rag to Ripper Engine Post by: louisb on October 05, 2007, 16:23:23 pm That is a great story. To bad HVWs doesn't reprint some of the vintage tech articles they have from past issues. I have about worn out my copy of the HVWs second engine book. (That 2007 w/ Fumio heads rocked) What gets me is the torque curve on the 1800 cc engine even with that small cam. I bet that engine would be a blast around town.

when i receive the parts 7 i will post it ;D Title: Re: Once again, leave it to speedwell: HOT VWs Rag to Ripper Engine Post by: Casey on January 16, 2008, 19:57:39 pm Is that out of the old Hot VW's engine book? If so, how bout' Jim Kaforskis' 204hp 2275. Pretty rare to see that power on that dyno out of a pump gas motor. Back in those days! Seems like everyone claims to have 200+ these days. I would let him help me on any motor, any day!!! 8) :o ;D ;).
If you have time it would be nice to see the article on that gem. Thanks. Vish.

Title: Re: HOT VWs Rag to Ripper Engine ARTICLES Post by: deano on November 18, 2010, 02:21:46 am Just FYI about the Rags to Ripper engine. After putting about 70,000 miles on that particular engine, what finally gave up was one of the rod bolts......

Where is the bus now?Title: Re: HOT VWs Rag to Ripper Engine ARTICLES Post by: rick m on November 18, 2010, 02:48:24 am This is where HOT VWs has repeatedly excelled over all the other VW publications over the years. Their technical articles have been the best since day one. Fun seeing this old article again.
