RE: [T3] suggestions for building a type 3 engine


i noticed that when they went to 90.5 mm bore the
powerband changed drasticly.  they gained a bunch of
tourque.   the W110 on the 1600 bumped the powerband
to the 5k neighborhood.  where on the 1776 it was
pretty close to the stock powerband just more power. 
it seemed all the dellortos did was give a little
boost at high RPM.   ive herd the kadrons are good on
the smaller displacement engines since they produce
good tourque.   kinda makes me wish they made a kadron
kit for the T3.  

actually in this months issue of Hot VWs i saw a
pretty good idea for an engine that would work well in
a T3.  it is a 1955cc but uses the 90.5mm bore(stroker
of course).  this one was in a thing and had dual
kardrons
