After a few years of running a 2332cc, turbocharged, air cooled flat four Ive decided its time to move on. With the kind of beating we put on our cars, it became extremely difficult to maintain the current engine and remain competitive. Being in the middle of the country definitely did not help, with all but a few of the local air cooled shops closing down I had to start looking elsewhere before we were too far behind the curve.
The air cooled community has been amazing to me and extremely supportive. The decision to move on was not an easy one to make. I am unsure of what direction the Dung Beetle will go but the goal is, as always, to go fast as possible on the street while remaining as much a streetcar as possible.
Stay tuned!!!
I’ve read other comments saying Porsche engine Subaru engine even ls swap but if it’s possible be different & try & force a 2006 bmw m3 in it straight 6 & compliant with 1/2 turbos . Look how well Aaron Kaufman did with his against the farmbird during your callout with him. Just a thought but YOU could always ask him for advice & it would make a good show with him helping with the build as a guest . Cheers Dave.
So subi-swap… keep the lineage. Subaru bought out the rights to VW’ s aircooled designs. Ej25?
