I grew up the same place as Tor Øyvind Skinne and first visited his workshop when I was about 14 years old. The purpose of the visit was to buy parts for the moped I was trying to make go a bit faster. After some wrenching, my moped was capable of about 80 kmph which was OK but of course not nearly as fast as Tor Øyvinds moped that managed in the neighborhood of 150 kmph. Fast forward 25 years to SCC 2008: My beetle did a quite respectable 11,9 at the strip while Tor Øyvinds beetle did a stunning 9,6. See a pattern ? 

Anyway, here are some facts about the engine. Any errors in the specs given are mine.

The engine has been developed and built by Tor Øyvind Skinne over a period of several years. The current version of the engine has the following specs:

WBX case – heavily modified by owner

WBX stock spec aftermarket heads from AMC (because AMC heads have better alu than the stock vw heads) - heavily modified by owner

Stroke & bore: 86x101,6 (4”) = 2789 cc

Crank: Pauter

Rods: 5,5” Pauter

Oil pump (dry sump): Pauter

Rockers: Pauter 1.3

Cam: custom grind

Pistons: JE (custom made after owners specs)

Injection: Autronic SM4

Precision Turbo – made after owners specs

Fuel: Pump gas / E85

Porsche G50 gearbox

Has dynoed 851 hp at 6100 rpm / 1100 NM at 5200/5300 rpm

(theoretical hp peak should be at 6500 rpm)


This is not a dragrace only car. It is used on the street and the it will be driven to and from races once it is properly set up. It is also good for track/road racing. An earlier version of the car (about 1992/1993) drove the 150 km trip to the dragstrip where it did a best time of 12,18 / 189 kmph before driving the 150 km back home. The car runs on street tires and is registered for road use in Norway.

Tor Øyvind Skinne builds high power engines for a living and is listed in the Norwegian phone directory if you are interested in his services

awesome pics, Heebah!

For reference: The "Skinne Beetle" of Norway on Kobus' video clip: Built by the Skinne brothers many years ago as a street / circut car and has had numerous engines over the years. The last dosen of years the Skinne brothers have been building fast Pro Stock cars with V8's - they are European Champions in Pro Stock and the only european team to make into the top 16-car ladder in the NHRA. The Skinne brothers never forget their VW-background and this last winter they decided to put their bright heads and hands into a new engine for the old Beetle... A wasserboxer block and humongous turbo on top.... a whopping 851 HP and - get this - 1110 Nm on the dyno!!! Got it off the dyno saturday morning, took it to SCC, rolled it off the trailer and did a 9,6!

You might not know where you were when Armstrong stepped on the moon, when color TV was introduced, when the wall fell or when Kennedy got shot ...... but if you weren't at Gardermoen when the earth rumbled as the Skinne Beetle launched......you missed out!

Very well deserved Volks World Magazine Trophy to the Skinne Brothers! 

Which Pro Stock team did the Skinne Brothers work with? Pro Stock is my favourite class  Jimmy Ålund has been European Pro Stock champion since 2004 

Anyways that's a badass bug they have there!!

Back home.

3500km on 6 days. You call that holidays? 

It was a great weekend. We all had a blast.

That was also great to meet so much people, even if I have some difficulties to understand sometimes 

Thanks to Nicolas to organise the trip and Ritchie, Lee and Frank to allow us to make the trip together and for the good time we had. Count me in if you go there another time. I always have spare parts to help 

[BC the Striper]

SCC 2008 was FANTASTIC! Thanks to all the guys out there, definitely one of the best weekends in my life!

I just hope I can be at SCC 2009 with my car and hope to bring more guys from Poland - somebody has to sweep the track, right?

Finally back home - after travellling +1000km. I just signed here to send my thanks to SCC team. This event was awesome great and spirit of the event was something that I have never seen before. Like one big family. Our team's (JussiFin) results made the experience even more pleasant.

Hi Guys,

This meeting started as a usual meeting but….
We hit the road Thursday at 6 AM and arrived Friday 5 AM, 23 hours and 1800km later at the Gardermoen race track while it was raining.
Friday we wanted to test the car, but the brand new engine struggled under 4000 RPM, while I wanted to do a test run I didn’t had a second gear, by now you are probably are thinking that our weekend sucks.
But now, I think we got help from all the Scandinavian Racers, Jurgen drove 1 hour ½ back home to get some tools to open the gearbox, Stian and Michael provided us some tools.
We removed the engine and tranny, Patte helped us to fix it, we mounted the gearbox back in the car wit help from Michael and we went sleeping at 4 AM.
Saturday at 7 PM we mounted the gearbox, solved the Fuel and Ignition problem and did a 10 sec run.
Special thanks to Johny and the while SCC team for a the best meeting ever and to Michael, Stean, Jurgen, Patte and everybody else ho helped us, you guys are fantastic and remember to call me when there is a house for sale, I move to Scandinavia.

See you all at the next track!!

[Tekken]

The Belgium Team are my heros, with all that bad luck you never gave upp. Sven, looking forward to see you at Bug In next year and hopefully I can by you some beer instead of you working on your gearbox all night. By the way your car is the first really good looking late beetle race car I´ve ever seen .Nice work and good luck in the future. (the old grey longhair from Sweden).

The pics would be better with a little editing, a lot of editing for some of them
But making them available ASAP got the priority over hours of photoshopping this time. 
So these pics are straight out of the camera...

Very NICE. Looks like a fun event.

Kobus, I talked to Jim Dutcher the other day... he told me to tell you HELLO. His shop has been around the corner from my house for decades.
