Some of you know that I am looking at a Speedster replica that needs a motor.....most of ya don't care.....but anyways, I figured that you might enjoy reading the answers I got back from CB Performance.....
They have a pic of a complete engine, dyno charts showing off the wall torque numbers and HP...all Type I VW motors....one shows a turbo'd injected motor and says email for a quote...... So like a gud little lemming, I do it....the subject says "how much for a 200hp, turbo'd injected motor??????" Here's his response.... Take a look at our dyno charts to get an idea of the horsepower range of the engine you need. Click on DYNO CHARTS on our home page. You'll see that there is a big difference power output in VW engines. Pick your power range and I can supply a quote. Bob >>>>>> Um, bob already did that....how much for a 200hp Turbo'd and injected motor? And do ya do T-4s or just T-1s? Response.... 200hp is pushing the envelope for a street engine, but a turn key with dual 44 IDF Webers is $6700.00. Bob >>>>>> OK, Bob....how much for a 200hp Turbo'd and injected motor? And do ya do T-4s or just T-1s? Response..... Turbos are a different subject. From our home page click on TURBO STREET ENGINES. My Spyder is shown, runs on pump gas, turns low 10's and has about 20,000 miles on the engine. Bob >>>>>>>>> OK HOW MUCH?????? Response...... We no longer do the type 4 engine. Type 4 parts are over priced and the engine is over rated. We build type 1 engines that will out perform type 4's and they weight a lot less. Our engines are assembled from all new parts. Type 4's are put together from a combination of rebuilt and new parts as new cases and heads are not available. Bob >>>>>>>>>>>>> Fuch it......

BTW....I must be getting old, because now that I think about it....prior to email....this is exactly how "It" started out on the phone when I got pissed at Patrick Motorsports....but since I am on the same meds as Miles....I'm mellower now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif)
I just hate it when some dork tries to blow smoke up my ass and not listen or in this case....READ the question.....then act like I'm an idiot because he's too narrowly focused on trying to Fuch me outta my $$$s.... So screw 'em...I'll find someone else who wants my money.... As to T-1s....yeah they can be made to run....I had an 1835 and a 2180 back in the 70s and did the Bug In thing....had a BAD 57 ragtop. But I don't want a high strung motor....I want a nice wide power band.... |
