Title: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: samotorsport on March 18, 2020, 19:22:31 pm Hey guys , my Karmann is getting the 1600 cc engine with 40 idf on it.
I was wondering about the original black plastic inside the engine lid . Is it better to have it installed or removed regarding thermal issues and fresh air ?

It was a long time ago though, so I might have had to remove it... Definitely had to cut the filters down though.

I have to see what i gonna do around there . I see this plastic as a rain protection. Not driving it in the rain anyhow , what about the heat in the engine bay ? Suspect it should go down with the plastic removed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: Steve67 on March 19, 2020, 18:16:52 pm Cannot help you with your question, but that's a sweet Karmann for sure :-)

Just for info , with the Udo Becker manifolds it just fits perfect ! No need to take out the springs or the plastic. Just fits as it is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: Glauco on April 23, 2020, 16:58:39 pm They fit indeed, mounted mine today as well..

I got 1600 cc C35 cam C/R 8,3 / 1 Heads by myself 009 Distributor 38 mm merged with Phatboy Going to dyno it end of the year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: Glauco on April 23, 2020, 18:36:43 pm I have a 1641
Scat cw crank with scat rods Engle fk65 with 1.4 rockers Stock heads with stainless valves, single hd springs. Very mild port job as explained in the VW beetle performance handbook. 38mm merged with S&S dual quit pack Msd 6all ignition and 40mm Italian webers. Engine is built by nicholas. No idea how much power she makes, probably not more than 80-85hp I suppose, but she puts a smile on my face every time.. :) Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: samotorsport on April 23, 2020, 18:48:12 pm For sure , no idea what mine pushes , but for sure enough to smile and have fun!
Still curious to see what i managed to get out of it ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: Glauco on April 24, 2020, 06:53:19 am people like numbers ;D
Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: Neil Davies on April 24, 2020, 17:17:22 pm You guys have got shorter manifolds than I had! Mine was a 1641, stock bottom end, with 1.25 rockers, 1 5/8" Bugpack merged header and twin quiet packs, and 36DRLAs. If I remember right, it was about 85 bhp, and ran a best of 18.03 @ 85ish mph.
Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: samotorsport on April 24, 2020, 17:22:49 pm I always use the Udo Becker ones ! On any IDF build , the quality is great , just by looking into them you see the difference to cheap cast internet ones.
On top i prefer to support the „little“ tuners who are doing their stuff with heart and soul. Ok i got the advantage to know Udo , and owning his old racecar . Title: Re: Karmann Ghia with Webers Post by: Glauco on April 24, 2020, 20:16:59 pm Mine are csp space-savers. Did do some work on grinding them smooth on the inside and matching them to the heads...
