I love that little 1-3/8" merged, but it would be tons cooler if it worked with heat.

The hardest part is to have both bottom tubes to fit with the heaters outputs. It seems that the J-tubes connections are far under the cylinders compared to standard headers.

That sounds like a lot of work/money for a little header. Adding heater boxes would make the 1&3 pipes longer, so it wouldn't be equal length anymore. Some proper 40x35.5 heads would solve a lot of problems
Or choosing a smaller cam

Another random question, wich kind of quality air filter can I use ?
I like the look of the Flat4... but I'm always wary with Flat4 stuff...
...or K&N ??
How about these?

Cam will be smaller
I'm almost done with choosing the parts, I will start buying it after Christmas/new year. I will see later for the header, I have a lot to do first !

Hey Nico, the Equalizer is about 6lbs. and the Achiever is about is about 3 1/2lbs. I've always ran the Equailizer, right now I'm running a NOS Santana Pulley, but going back to my Achiever. according to Berg, it equalizes the weight from front to back and gives you stronger launches at the line cause of the momentum. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the infos Ted.
On a mild project like mine, is it usefull to use a heavy equalizer pulley ? Or a more classic billet pulley is better ?

I look at it in a realistic way, if you going to run it at the track, and want to compete, I'd say yes, but if your more a street guy, then yes, a lighter one. Unless you just want to run a Berg pulley, thats your choice. Myself, I like the look, but also see the track once in awhile. My motor is built more for performance, maybe to much, buts thats just me. I like POWER.

If you're running a stock non c/w crank and a lightened flywheel it's not a bad idea to use one.

Yes, he does use the German flywheels. I'm using his crank and flywheel set-up on my current motor that has been wedgemated. Very good work. I don't think he likes the Chinese stuff. German only.

Great, I think I will get one from him, it's a good price. French VW shops usually lightweight flywheels to 5.5 or 5.6kg, so I guess 12lbs (=5.44kg) is good.

Also need help with the clutch.
What I'm thinking about :
- Stock mounting hardware : cross shaft, clutch bearing and bearing clip etc...
- Daikin 200mm super disc
http://www.vwparts.net/AC141150.html
- Kennedy 200mm pressure plate
http://www.vwparts.net/KEPPSIPLATE.html
but what model 1700Lbs, 2100Lbs, 2600Lbs, 3000Lbs ??
Or a 200mm stock pressure plate ?
http://www.vwparts.net/311141025EBR.html
but I don't know about the quality. For $30 more I'd rather get a Kennedy.
And a Happy New Year to the Loungers

No more than 1700lb, but stock would work ok for your combo, too. I chose the 1700lb in aluminium because I wanted a free revver
But it is much more expensive.

Thanks Zach. A stock Sachs or LUK is $190, so a Kennedy 1700lbs will be fine.

There are cheaper clutch kits but the brand is Empi... so I guess it's from China. There is also Amortex that's cheap, that's a co-branding with Sachs but it's made in Brazil.

Yes, I agree with Zach a stock or a 1700lb Kenndy at the most with a Daiken disk will be more than efficient. Cool set-up so far!

Yep he gives me a few infos
. He said the W110 is fine with the rest of the engine specs and 40IDF, it will fall in between the XV280 and the XV290.
