got one of farmer robs 2ltr type 4 engines in my buggy will be up for sale very soon as my new engine is finished now, will come with twin webbers ready to bolt into a buggy just add exhausts can be heard running £950

Muzzy, whats yournew engine? I boughta 1776 from Rob, well pleased.

Paul

porshe 914

Having recently done one of those 2 litre upgrades myself, I can honestly say the difference is absolutely amazing, and I don`t think I could ever go back to a Type 1 lump again. Is that the one you had off Rob the same time I did mine, and yours had the "oval" shaped exhaust ports?

yes dave it is only getting rid of it as the insurance wont insure my lad with a 2ltr

Very interested, sent you a PM

pm returned

still for sale lads

Are you running this through a standard type 1 box? does it destroy them? My plans for scooby power are likely to have to become more 'long term' and I'm just never going to be able to cope with the original wheezy 1.3

Beetle gearbox's in good condition can handle up to about 130hp, so they will run fine with the standard 2.0L type 4 engine! Hope this helps

Rob

Thanks Farmer Rob helps a lot
Type 4 puts out about 70-80 doesn't it? Not quite the 280 that the scooby lump I have sitting waiting puts out but a HELL of a lot better than the 7 hp my original engine has Just cant stand the thought of going back to counting the 0-60 by calendar month

They are only rated at 70hp but they have loads of torque so they go quite well in a buggy

Rob

no one want a good strong reliable engine then

Tempting.............

Depends what Type 1 you have
