This was the spec of my 1776cc that was great in my bay: Standard Forged VW crankshaft and stock conrods. Mild performance cam: Bugpack 4061 with 370 duration and 396" lift Oversized New Barrels (I think they were Mahle) & pistons. Pair stock valve VW twin port cylinder heads, cut for 90.5mm...

Your friend who builds them is probably best placed to recommend heads and engine spec then

Are you building the engine yourself or getting it done by an engine builder? I went with mofoco 042 heads as they were recommened by my engine builder: extra cooling fins, 3 angle valve job, cast and machined in the usa http://www.mofoco.com/category/VW_Performance_Heads/c52"...

I love my 2110cc engine, which does have bigger valves I used to have a 1776, mild port and polish on heads with stock valves and it was amazing I've also had a 'better specd' 1776 with bigger valves and it was not as good. People, who know what they are doing, can build good and powerful...

No problem. What heads are you going for with the 2007cc?

*****STOLEN****.please share.. VW Camper van. Stolen sometime overnight 24/25th August. from Top Road. Acton Trussell near Stafford. Please keep an eye open. Adam Dwight and Charlotte Terry have spend hours and hours renovating this beautiful van and everyone is gutted for them. Please share...

I had the exact same thoughts when i installed a 2110cc type 1 engine. So i asked the people who made the heads what they thought. Perhaps you could ask whoever manufactured the heads on your 2007. Hope this helps you - My email and the reply below: Hi Roy I hope you can help me with some...

thanks @Ozziedog I'm sure you will hear about any danbury cookers before me, i'm rarely on this forum. If i come across a mint original one you can have it as my van isn't a danbury. I may even ask an engineer friend if he could make me something based on the danbury idea. Thanks for your replies

I've got two of them under the other buddy seat. I've not actually used one inside the van though, so perhaps I'll give that ago first! Ideally I want something that I can just flip out and fire up quickly though

Thanks for the reply I've got a cadac safari chef for outside cooking, i just want something for inside the van mainly for making a brew. I've done away with my awning, so need ability to cook inside if it is peeing it down!

Thanks very much for the reply I usually do all my cooking outside as well, but want something for inside the van so i can at least make a cup of tea, or cook a simple meal if it is raining outside. My van isn't a danbury conversion, but i also have a buddy seat behind the drivers seat, so...

Hi I'm considering a few cooker options for my van. What is it actually like cooking on the danbury cooker that folds out of the buddy seat? Is it a bit low down? Any input from people who have cooked on one gratefully received This thread has a few pictures of the cooker that i'm on about...

No worries for the update Huge thanks to you for posting all the ratio stuff, it helped me understand things a bit better. I have passed it over to loads of people on late bay, so thanks on behalf of them as well. I've not done much round town driving as yet, so can't comment on that one yet...

New Gearbox now fitted, so I thought i'd update this thread with the impact it has made. New box was built by Bears and is based on an 002 box with same gears as standard, except 4.57 ring & pinion (apparently it's only the final drive that alters the overall gearing). Tyres are 185/65 R15...

Maddog and Alex Thanks for your replies Paul

Alex Thanks. It's all getting even more confusing now! Trikky2's info says: 2 liter 1st 3.78 2nd 2.06 3rd 1.26 Top 0.88 final drive 4.57 Overall in top 4.02 Is the freeway flyer the same as the 2l 091 box then? The spec isn't listed on the website You have a specially designed box with a...

Sounds interesting What does longer 3rd & 4th mean in real terms driving a bus?

Great thanks again!

Trikky2 I've checked the notes I made when speaking to the bloke who I'll get to build my box. He says the same as you and suggests using a 4.57 final drive ring and pinion gear (same as used on a 2l box). There is one bit in your post that i don't understand: I am currently running a 2...
