Some of you know that I am looking at a Speedster replica that needs a motor.....most of ya don't care.....but anyways, I figured that you might enjoy reading the answers I got back from CB Performance.....
They have a pic of a complete engine, dyno charts showing off the wall torque numbers and HP...all Type I VW motors....one shows a turbo'd injected motor and says email for a quote...... So like a gud little lemming, I do it....the subject says "how much for a 200hp, turbo'd injected motor??????" Here's his response.... Take a look at our dyno charts to get an idea of the horsepower range of the engine you need. Click on DYNO CHARTS on our home page. You'll see that there is a big difference power output in VW engines. Pick your power range and I can supply a quote. Bob >>>>>> Um, bob already did that....how much for a 200hp Turbo'd and injected motor? And do ya do T-4s or just T-1s? Response.... 200hp is pushing the envelope for a street engine, but a turn key with dual 44 IDF Webers is $6700.00. Bob >>>>>> OK, Bob....how much for a 200hp Turbo'd and injected motor? And do ya do T-4s or just T-1s? Response..... Turbos are a different subject. From our home page click on TURBO STREET ENGINES. My Spyder is shown, runs on pump gas, turns low 10's and has about 20,000 miles on the engine. Bob >>>>>>>>> OK HOW MUCH?????? Response...... We no longer do the type 4 engine. Type 4 parts are over priced and the engine is over rated. We build type 1 engines that will out perform type 4's and they weight a lot less. Our engines are assembled from all new parts. Type 4's are put together from a combination of rebuilt and new parts as new cases and heads are not available. Bob >>>>>>>>>>>>> Fuch it......

The company that builds the gizmag speedster is in Australia... I LOVE their rear fiberglass cover vs the cloth tonnau. Their car interior is equally amazing... with the conversion rate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
http://www.specialtyauto.com/PORSCHE.htm - Here is a more "local" company that builds them... and btw... looked into it.. The typical speedster weighs 1600-1800 lbs... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) - not sure what mine weighs but I'm sure it's something like that. 200 hp puts it at near the same power to weight as a base 05 vette. |
