turbonator

They don't work without a special Snake Oil lubricant.

Thats what I am figuring, but they offer a money back gaurantee ? Surely people would just send them back !

I wouldn't buy anything that claimed to do something unless I knew enough people had tried and liked it.

Hence the post.

I think that you are trying to blow up your engine :-) and you will not sleep before that.

Thats ok - best way to learn !

I have a spare engine - or two, to play with.

Rich

We need spare engines and money!!! To play you need to buy the parts ;-) I saw a magazine with a Germany Look 1303 with a turbo from a Volvo S40 on a T4 engine (200hp)

I am searching hard for info at the moment. The fastest type 1 engine I have seen so far is 400Hp overhead cam and converted porsche heads and turbo setup.

Do you know Nelson Piquet a Brazilian guy that won F1championship for 3 times? He has a beetle with 480Hp prepared by a Brabram F1 mechanic. He used a beetle to race in 1970 prepared by him.

I once worked on a sand buggy that the guy said was putting out 600hp. It was running twin turbo's with duel GM qurdrojet carbs. It was real wild and I wanted nothing to do with it as for driving but I guess with that kind of power he never had any trouble in the sand. It also had big paddle wheel tires on it as well.

Send the link to Jake Raby.

I see a theme starting.

I am getting a bit old for F1 now tho .

Will have to stick to the street, maybe try and find a drag strip.

I found the 1972 Nelson Piquet beetle. "Patinho Feio" is the name of the car. In Ingles means ugly duck

Yeah, but he might do T1s, too. Dunno. Been a long time.
