Back to 1987 and St Moritz Fashion aka Häcken Hugo aka Udo Beckers car.
Mats and Bosse Pedal doing a 228 hp dynorun. Nope, those are only test wheels for the dyno.....
Next picture is Mats posing on the front of Chrome & Flammen after beating Roland Jutting in the Giebelstadt finals.

Here is a picture of my street engine in the first trial assebly stage. I can race it if I want to, it isn't for street use only. 

Roman, what header/stinger combo is that you are using?

Thanks,
tom.

EDIT: Nevermind...I kept reading... Custom made A1 1 7/8" exhaust with 2 1/4" collektor och 3" stainless muffler.

Talking about Mats Herrlander, this is his Blown Boxer dragster engine. Now for sale.
ARPM 2-piece case, SCAT 86 mm Pro Drag crank, Pauter V4EO cam, Pauter Rodzillas 6,200”, 90,5 Mahle pistons in steel billet cylinders (2541), Racewear studs, Trimco billet heads, Pauter 1,4 rockers, Hilborn, Hampton 4-71 SC, double MSD-distributor (Trimco special), Oberg filter.
I will post some more pictures tomorrow when I get my scanner working. I have part of the engine block and the heads.

DKK Rick....me too ...All T birds are nice but I had a 1990 T bird SC which I loved. That supercharged 3.8 l engine was a purring lion. I loved it.

I saw this engine in a Dragster some years ago in Hockenheim . The swedish run in Competition that year with the Dragster .

Same theme but this time not twin engine or twin turbo but rather "Lets do ONE engine out of two!"

Did it work?
Yes in fact it did but I think the guys over engineered some solutions with it. In the back of a Buggy with CIS, a 914 gearbox and (then rumoured to run a home built sequential gearbox) but in any case, the car ran and it had a beautiful sound, says the ones I have talked to.
These pictures are taken June 1994. I think the car ran 95-96 but then it has been quite.

My street engine    78x94 comp heads, T3/T4 turbo
Built in 1991 & upgraded heads in 2000.

That is a nice engine Tony.
If you have had it since 2000 I guess it is well proven and tuned by now.
Reminds me in one way of my project that I started in my garage in Poland but have not finished and with the difference of a SC instead of the Turbo.
This engien has never been started and is still questionable if it will in this mode. Still have it though.
The engine does not fit any normal beetle but needs a major firewall modification.

[Frallan]

That is a beautiful engine and I am the first to admit dreaming about building one very similar.
My only other choice would have been an Autorotor but I am sure this version will perform very well.

I assume you know Mario Tavares? We had a lot contact through the years since I imported their stuff to Sweden on hobby basis.
I also bought one of their first new engine blocks (and billet 94 mm crank) when they were released mid nineties for a Swedish dragracer. We often discussed if a Whipple/Autorotor engine would perform better on his sanddragster than the current turbo.
It seems there was a twin Whipple dragster built on a Pauter engine in the nineties but it was never made official. Something in the back of my heads says Dave Perkins was involved.

Anyway, Love your car and will love it even more with this engine in it. Good luck!

Dude you knowledge of these strange vw engines is so cool, keep feeding us more ?

[ugly duckling]

frallen and udo thanks for sharing thoes cool pictures of those monters very nice. frallen i also would like to hear what happen to that dual engine dual turbo scat head monster. would be interesting to hear what happen. the arpm twin blower engine ran alot better in there dragster i also heard it run it truly sounded like a FLAT FOUR FULER!. thanks again guys.  UD.

[Frallan]

Hello UD,

Yes and I did remember later that I saw the dragster north of San Francisco in the dragster.
Unfortunately they ran a bit too much nitro and lean, not a good combination and we only saw one half good run.
There was a turbo dragster that I video filmed which ran mid sevens. I must dig out those videos.
More pictures and stories coming but probably a week or two until net time.

WRT the boxer 8. - Yes the sound alone was awesome. It was reconfigured for the 2003 season. At that time it was bumped to a whopping 4,732 cc. and about 330 hp. if memory serves. It was equipped with fuel injection and had the sequential transmission in at the time. (They did have adjustement problems at the time. I do not know if the continued to work with that) Once when it was fired up, I was standing right behind the car. One of the very nice guys that built it, leaned in through the side window and turned the key, and it just started with that sound of a large high strung engine  I´m tellin ya, the hairs in the back of my neck stood straight out from my skin!!! - along with a few other parts of my body.  MAN.
I had a little contact with them for about a year. After that they sort of "disapeared" I have later heard rumours that the crankshaft broke in the 2005 season. That might be part of why we dont see it in public anymore. But what a great piece of engineering it was..

[ugly duckling]

torben thanks for sharing that story UD.

[Ole]

How about this: flat 12, dual turbo....

[Frallan]

Ole,........way out of line. Not a race engine or street. I think but more like driving in the desert and war zone?
Is it a tank engine?

[Torben Alstrup]

It looks like a Centurion. They are sometimes used in tractorpulling.

Can it be that this motor was in a 914 sometime later on? I seem to recall seeing it at Bug Run some years back.. It ran on the strip, but did not run properly..

[Frallan]

Yes. I think you are right.

Buggy first and then 914.

Anyone know something about this ? 2-stroke

Hi UDO the guys that built this engine were from Ontario Canada. The company they worked for was (is) called Kar andTrucks. They built some interesting vehicles in the time I knew them. They used to travel to North Carolina to race at Farmington Dragway once a year. One of the more interesting vehicles was a 72 Bus with 2.7 liter Carrera flat 6, RSR cams and fuel injected. This progressed into a larger 911 engine with twin Turbos.

The 2 stroke bug started as a MFI 4 stroke flat four on methanol. I only saw it once when it was 2 stroke, and it wasn't very fast. I think it ran 8.00's in the 1/8 mile. Still very cool, only because it was different.

Here is my current 2715cc N/A combo:

Here is my Autorotor blower engine that I crashed in Nov '02.
Never got a full power pass.
2965cc 42psi 10:1 1250 *F exh temp...madness!
147mph @ 1870lbs



Arrow points to 1.25" fuel line....yes 32mm.

[lawrence]

Well, while we are on the theme of Twin....here we are with twin Magnusson MC80 on a 3 liter ARPM.
This one I did hear run and it was a beautiful...well noise, sound, rumble but again I think there was plenty to sort out as it was not that quick.
Again I recall this was Sacramento 1988. (Might be wrong on this one though)

If you do not stop me, I will add some more.

This chassic looks very similar to one that sits in a VW repair shop near my house. Do you have more pictures?

[roland]

Took me about 5 minutes to find the tiny bit of valve cover on the bottom right...

Here is a picture of my street motor in my friend John's car. I loaned him my motor after a little mishap during testing the thursday night before Bug In this past April at Fontana.

Just a little 10.7:1 2026cc with his 60hp shot of N2o. 10.78 @ 122 in his car.

Yes, I do have some pictures too but just look at the Engine Masters thread a little bit further down on the main page and you will find the body, as it looks today.
