Re: [T3] 70? Are you kidding??

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

45hp DIN given as the 1500 single carb.  For the fifties Beetle, 30hp DIN
worked outÚ÷Öø SAE, and 54hp DIN of the 1500S = 66hp SAE.

DIN is a German standard that measures the engine output with all the
ancillaries on it - cooling fan, dynamo etc.  SAE is just the basic power
plant output, so is more (about 20%).
