Pete’s in Northolt, London

I assume you’re in the U.K so If you do decide to get a new box speak to Pete Engleloz at cogbox.

K&N HP3001

Pay a tenner and you can ride in the passenger seat 😂

You won’t go any faster, it will still only cruise at 60 due to the rpm. you’ll just get there quicker. Any reasonable increase in power warrants a longer box so you can keep up with modern traffic

Weber 48 IDA’s 👌🏻 it’s good fun, in the grand scheme of things it’s not that quick but it’s not bad for a fully fitted westy bus. His is probably running rich as hell! Mines not terrible on fuel, it’s 2276cc with 10:1 compression and probably about 200hp without the gas so it’s not breaking a...

I’d like a 4” bore motor but they don’t use ‘off the the shelf’ parts. Maybe 1 day, we’ll see 🤔

Well it’s been about 2 yrs since I last took the bus to bits so….. That lot there owes me 3x more than what I paid for the actual bus nearly 18 yrs ago 🤦🏻 making a vw camper fast is a stupid and expensive hobby 😂

For sale: Spanish Weber 40 IDF’s, came off a customers 2165cc which is being rebuilt and upgraded so now requires 44’s. Jetted for the old engine with 32mm vents but I can swap these to a set of 28’s for smaller engines if required. All move freely and operate as they should. K&N filters...

I’d be putting a new loom ahead of the interior revamp when it comes to priorities mate 😬

Actually lol’d at that 😂 I suggested a 2165cc with twin 44’s…..

Don’t think they are very street friendly though

I think they do 104’s

101.4mm (4 inch) bore x 84mm stroke. If we ever do another motor for my bus it will be a 4” bore build

Thanks, still want to get mine faster though lol Dave’s bug is now tamed down to make it a bit more street friendly compared to 2017-2018. It’s now running a stout 2276cc, comp eliminator heads & 48 Ida’s and a healthy shot of nos, but before it had a behemoth of a 2724cc, Jaycee 51 Ida’s 12:1...

It’s under 18 secs, became eligible for that years ago 👍🏻 although Chris (mad dog) doesn’t really promote that anymore. His bus has been off the road since 2018

Went to VW action at the weekend with the usual suspects and had a riot as always Crew chief Hector assessing the situation 😆 Crewing for Metal Dave right before he ran a stonking 11.3 @ 118mph in his street driven bug 😎 Ran the bus too. Saturday I went 16.20 82mph followed by 15.80 @...

How much timing is put into it? Are the Carbs balanced and does the linkage open both carbs equal amounts at the same time? What jet stacks are in there?

What’s the running issue? If hector worked out the jetting out it will be right.
