http://videos.streetfire.net/video/c14c327...f71fee3e6bb.htm - that's hardly a rotary making all that noise is it? Pretty fast whatever it is.

Doesn't sound like one to me, but I haven't heard them all.

Sounds a hell of a lot like an aircooled to me.

Yeah, I have no idea - I never thought you'd get power like that from a beetle engine though, that's a pretty wild camshaft in there or whatever it has - pushrods, it has wild pushrods!

Thats a flat four. And yea, they can be fast.

haha Yeah you can get that much power from an aircooled. I have seen N/A aircooleds pulling wheelies like that.



My friend has a beetle that he built a motor for. It is stroked to I think 1.9 liters and has a t3/t4 turbo on it. He said it is scary fast with the 277hp @12psi, and thats in a 1800lb car.
