new engine for 2010

We are going oxyboxer. For those not in the know, a beetle engine is a aircooled boxer engine. We will be using an engine out of an 80 vw transporter. These are wasserboxer or 4 cilinder watercooled engines. The engines look a lot like beetle engines but with watercooling and a hint of the type 4 vw/porsche 4 cilinder boxerengine.
A oxyboxer is a wasserboxer without the waterjackets. These are cutof and with some other modifications type 1 beetle engineparts will be mounted to create a rocksolid 1300 turbo engine.
We go through all this trouble because a wasserboxercase is much stronger then anything else and it has potential for future projects.
The case will be machined down to lose the watterjackets surounding the cilinders.
The headstuds are placed in a different pitch so this will be changed to type 1 pitch to use 1300 double port rods, cilinders, pistons and heads. A type 1 coolingshroud fan and dynamo will be made to fit.




De intercooler/spoiler is on the car to. Hope it will take the intaketemperature down a lot.
