Aircooled VW South Africa

Good anti theft device

Look at this, TWIN Judson superchargers. I wouldn't mind a old school setup like this Crazy. Just imagine the scream

That sure does look nice, for the proper vintage look. But as far as I understand it a Judson wont do anything for a 40horse engine. They were primarily designed to beef up the old 1100cc(30horse?) motors. But, like I said, that does looks nice

Hi Z

There were 2 judson kits made one with the double drive belt for the 30 (36) hp motor and one with the single drive belt for the 40 HP 1200 motors.

I ran a Judson for years on my 65 1200 and it gave the sort of performance that you got from a 66 1300 or at a push on a cool day , maybe hang opn to a 1500.

no great burst of power.

A bit like a cup of warm piss, but thats all we had in those days

Or if you had bucks , you fitted a butchered T3 1500 motor

Or if you had real bucks, you bought a Porsche super 70 engine , brand new in the crate ( NOT a dolled up 356 industrial engine)----- super 70 - -- complete with twin solex / zenith carbs and a pipe -- bolt into a bug with a bit of tinwork

Good old days hey?

The porsche motor cost as much if not more than a new bug.

2 judsons? ----- bet they consumed more power than they made !

It is so cool to hear about VW performance and performance parts from the old days. Carry on with the nostalgic words, forcecooled. Us youngsters appreciate it

Tks Blits,
But no pictures, hey!

LOL

I polished up the chrome strips and fitted them to the door. No more holes in the doors anymore

Yes, I hate those 'Welcome to Gauteng' signs too...



Looking good Didi, seeing you the weekend?

Yip, will be there on Saturday, driving through on my own. Me, the Ghia and the open road

Twin Judsons! How cool is that. Thanks for the pic.
