Am I right in thinking this only relates to the type 4 engine and not the type 1?
In 2006 Hot VWs Technical Editor, Dean Kirsten traveled to the Aircooled Technology Compound to witness what it takes to create true 170HP MassIVe type 4 Power, the Raby way. While Dean spent his week here at Aircooled Heaven he was exposed to many of the tricks associated with the creation of a reliable, high performance daily driver engine and included these in a 6 part article in Hot VWs Magazine that was printed throughout 2006. This engine would go on to making RAT history as it was used in a 3,450 mile R&D cross country excursion. As always, RAT took it over the top with testing for an un-paralleled adventure proving the DTM cooling system’s ability in adverse conditions and laid the ground work for our “Snake Oil” product, with a grand finale of a 94MPH pass at Sacramento California’s Bug-O-Rama in exactly the same trim as it was driven flawlessly across country with, weighing in at 2400 pounds with Pilot!.
Fast forward to today and that entire article series to include the cross country trip has been updated and compiled into a 16 page inclusion into the Hot VWs publication “All about VW Performance Engines #3, which is the only Type 4 Engine based article featured in the entire book!
.
Other articles that are covered in the publication include:
-Blueprinting Basics
-1600 stock rebuild
- 1776 Daily Driver
-2500 Pro Stock
-2333 NITROUS
1914 Turbo
It does cover t4 motors but i'm intersted in the 1776 daily driver, the 1914 turbo (if only for the turbo ideas) and the blueprinting basics.
Dont know of a UK magazine that covers all of these items (maybe someone else knows? maybe a european version?)
