        RnR beds are heavy. Vans are much nicer to drive with nothing in the back.



        Looking tidy though Si. Nice Work.

              We'll see how well it goes Rod and take it from there .Would you have to lower the compression ala a turbo petrol. The super charger could be less work than a turbo as its pulley and air intake and no messing with exhaust manifold. Its got my interest. Wouldn't want it pinking its head off or melting the pistons. I have a second head so cold mock stuff up to see if it fitted ok. See the things nearly finished but its not is it?

                NO, NO, NO and NO.

                Fit a turbo - there's a reason that everyone fits turbos.... they are simple and work well.

                Plus you can retro fit them to any VW engine without too much dicking about with fabrication.

                      • Turbo or super charger I can assure you if i'm involved there will be plenty of dicking around.

                          Oi! I heard that. I'm not quite steam driven but will admit to a liking for Bosch distributors with contact breaker points.

                              • We have spent more on the van than grandfather paid for the house behind it. £2400 in 1958.
