  • Johannas Persson owner of JP Motorsport was at the SCC event in Norway competing in his 1963 VW Beetle. It is fitted with a 1584cc engine 69x85.5mm, with std valves 35.5mm intake and 32mm exhaust, as per the rules of the class, but then with added head work, cams, and fuel injection.
    Rules
    Aircooled VW based engine with 2 valve technique
    Displacement 1584 cc (1600+-3cc)
    Piston size 85,5 mm (+- 0,5 mm)
    Stroke 69 mm (+- 0,1 mm)
    Valve size 35,5 mm intake, 32 mm exhaust (+- 0,1 mm)
    Normally aspirated or ONE power adder - it's up to you
    Nitromethane prohibited
    Johannes competed in the N/A / Race class (so no forced induction, but with slicks)
    Classes
    Naturally Aspirated (NA): Engine only run with carburetors or EFI - No Nitrous Oxide or Nitromethane
    Power Adder (PA): Engine with ONE power adder i.e. turbo, blower or NOS - no Nitromethane
    Street: A car of "standard" type - basically built for street use with no bigger changes done apart from possible roll-cage etc
    Race: A car primarily built for Drag Racing or other racing purposes
    Johannes ran several low 12 second runs, but with a best, (and a NEW WORLD RECORD ) of 12.34 @ 106.6mph

    As a fellow 1600 modified Beetle owner i really appreciate the work that has gone into this machine. I doubt my bug tops 80BHP. 193 BHP with stock stroke and heads/valves is incredible!

    • @martinharris5017
      @martinharris5017 Před 9 měsíci +3

      @@mikescudder4621 I'm guessing compression and cam are major factors and probably some big carb venturis for maximum flow.
      For comparison: I have a fully rebuilt stock block. Stock 69mm crank, stock barrels and pistons. W100 cam which is a mild street upgrade. The heads have been ported but with stock valves. 12lb flywheel and header, single 1 3/4 inch SU carb. I put the engine together with careful attention to detail for reliability not top-end performance.
      I can't imagine how you'd get that setup from 80-ish BHP all the way to 190+ without a turbo, but cam, compression and carburetion must be the key.

SU carbs are awesome, where did you get the idea to use an SU carb? Down here in Brazil SU carbs are highly sought after for vw engines! Its a youtubers fault of course... even with a turbo i wouldn't expect to make 190HP!

Once i've finished the rebuild it'll weigh around 595kg, so with the same engine It should see maybe a 14:6@92mph...Not bad considering its not built for drag racing, its built for historic racing, so i'm losing around half a second just to 60ft due to the long 1st gear and 135mm section historic racing treaded rear tyres

Engle FK10 cam with Empi ratio rockers (1.25 inlet 1.1 exhaust) counterweight crank, Empi H beam rods, 10.5lb flywheel, EMPI 44HPMX twin carbs, Porsche 911 style cooling, merged 1.5 inch exhaust with custom silencer.

It has ZERO torque below 4500rpm so you have to slip the clutch and rev the crap out of it just to get it on the car trailer and during a race it manages about 6 miles to the gallon!

      You have to remember this build was all about getting the power without a turbo, so a lot of work and development has gone into it. However both a Subaru swap and a built VW Turbo engine all depend on your budget and what you want out of it. What parts you going to use and how much power and reliability you want. Such a difficult question to answer.
