Home from having a brand new engine fitted: 1904cc stroker engine ~120bhp 72mph @ 3250rpm Engine from Aircooled Engines Scotland, fitted by DTH Performance.
It makes 2.5 times the power and torque of standard 1600. It bloody flies even with those 31” rear tyres and from 30-60mph it is hilarious fun. The look on peoples faces when that old Beetle catches them up and flies past before they can react …. Brilliant. Remember, it’s a long stroke engine so masses of torque so really pleasant and easy to drive.
How much faster does that motor feel over a 1600?

@@Daddyfixit I have a 1914 currently but have never driven a 1600 so was wondering. Thanks for the response.
