    It seems like the better way! The linear nature of the supercharger seems to better mimic the normal flow of intake air throughout the RPM range, putting less momentary stress on the combustion chamber. A turbo seems (to me) to spool up at an exponential rate, pushing an efficient boost to rev ratio only at a certain RPM point in the power band.

    • @martinharris5017
      @martinharris5017 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Supercharging has always made more sense to me than turbo for the reasons you describe.

    In all my years of owning many VW’s, I’ve had way more problems with 1600’s than I ever have with 36 and 40 horse motors. 36 was always the most reliable, ime.

    Chris I have one of these rebuilt to brand new and powder coated complete with Gauge, bracket that bolts to steering column and oiling system from Fram interested? All packaged up in the Box. I was going to install it on my original 58 convertible but out here in Arizona it'll run hot and for the extra couple of horsepower I don't need it to be doing that. Thanks for doing the video I know what mine would look like and sound like now

    In the near future, I will be restoring a 1960 beetle. I am keeping the 36 hp. engine. I already have acquired a Bosch 010 distributor and small diameter 12 volt generator (Bosch GR26X?). I would love to get my hands on one of these superchargers.

  • @martinharris5017
    @martinharris5017 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If I were adding a blower to my bug I'd want to feel the difference very noticeably. While it's got period-correct cool-factor, I'm betting an Okrasa-style upgrade would provide more noticeable performance gain. Add straight-cut gears and it would give a blower sound!

    i think they had the Judson supercharger for the 40 horse motor too. Had u made any videos on the 1968 beetle and the changes and options for the model year. as 68 is the last year for the swingaxle rear suspension and early heater channels as 68 on was for the safety standards then.

    • @classicvwbugs
      @classicvwbugs  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Chris, Nice work. I think you'll find the best boost in HP while in the upper RPM's say around 3K and beyond. I'm interested in what it'll be like on the parkway going up longer hills. What was Mr. S looking for when he was adjusting the MM oiler at the top of the vid? thanks
