Has anyone tried roller lifters in a type 4, or any flat motor?

I don't understand why you wouldn't just add a super or turbocharger to the engine you have.
Bottom line on all those projects is that at the end of the day it's still gonna be air cooled, with all the limitations that are built into that. Means it ends up being a pretty small box to think inside of. |

Means it ends up being a pretty small box to think inside of. I think you are coming at this way to binary. It's not an either or question. I can have fun with both air cooled and water cooled....no need to limit the fun. Having grown up rebuilding VW motors for years, it's fun to see if there is any more to find....Jake admitted that 200 was it, now he is at 300hp. Supercharger, turbo, overhead camshafts, it can all be fun with both water cooled and aircooled. For me, most of the fun the the project, it's cheaper than therapy. |
