101.4mm (4 inch) bore x 84mm stroke. If we ever do another motor for my bus it will be a 4ā bore build2.7 on a type1Would have loved to have tried that out lol
I think they do 104ās
Donāt think they are very street friendly though
making a vw camper fast is a stupid and expensive hobby 
Iād like a 4ā bore motor but they donāt use āoff the the shelfā parts. Maybe 1 day, weāll seeWOW and WOW again, thatās some great results this year and I can only imagine how addictive it could be. I canāt wait to hear about you guys doing a four inch bore for yours. Now that youāve said it, youāll be thinking about it.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,what a great addiction to have.
Those carbs are huge! That's some motor right there! Can only image what the launch feels like with the 1/4mile in front of you!
Got me thinking the other day, was reading a post about a guy who was thinking of going to Spa in his beetle that had a hi-po motor with 48s, he worked out the cost of the fuel and didn't bother. I've never considered the cost of speed in that way before but it does make a difference! Costs me around Ā£80 to fill my tank with Super, so around Ā£120 (estimate) to do the 400mile round trip to Cornwall last weekend, and I'm going again next week...... I feel my power to fuel bill ratio is pretty decent or at least I'm comfortable with it, but it is a consideration for those wanting power without a thought for the impending fuel cost.
Look forward to seeing the progress
itās good fun, in the grand scheme of things itās not that quick but itās not bad for a fully fitted westy bus. His is probably running rich as hell! Mines not terrible on fuel, itās 2276cc with 10:1 compression and probably about 200hp without the gas so itās not breaking a sweat just cruising along. I can get to ninove and back from mine in Suffolk on 2 tanks of fuel. On a trip it will do about 240 miles to a tank, in town driving though itās pretty bad and racing proper drinks fuel 
biggest downside is I have to run it on v power or alike as the compression & nitrous needs the octane 
Pay a tenner and you can ride in the passenger seat

So stripping underside down to bare metal then going old school with epoxy mastic and actual paint.
How will you strip it back?
Truly unimpressed with Upol raptor, over priced and over hyped crap. 7 years old and literally falling off in massive scabs
Iāve got some proper gnarly wire wheels which go in a 4.5ā grinder. Did a bit today and it goes through like a hot knife through butter
I also feel a degree of vindication knowing itās not just me whoās had unsatisfactory results but yeah itās utter dog ****, overpriced ******* at that. I too did all the proper prep etc but like you itās shrunk, cracked retained crud & moisture then subsequently caused corrosion over the past 6 years
