An advertised Fat Performance 2.5L Type IV motor. Would it be any good? I have no idea myself. The name sounds vaguely familiar.

I bought an engine from them five years ago. 2.2 liter type IV. It produced 147 horsepower @ 5,500 RPM. I've put over 6000 miles on it since new and it runs strong. They have been building VW racing engines for a long time. They also build Toyota engines. They built the engines for Ivan "Iron-man" whatsisname of Baja fame. I had some valve lifter issues but solved that with ceramic lifters.
Cheers, Elliot |
