Post Direct fire and twin plug ignition article.

Well just saw the first July VW Trends, we made a nice bold heading on the cover, and a 4 page story, with a full installation of the direct fire kit and even some head install pics and text..
This is the first of our type 4 Engine articles, so everyone go grab one, and start your collection...

PS I will be signing autographs at this weekends VW show in Marietta Ga, who is going???LOL LOL LOL

Signing autographs?! You conceited slob! Humble thyself!!

Actually, you deserve all the attention VW Trends is giving you and your operation; us T-IV-equipped sleds sorely need it.

Hope there's more coming your (and our) way!

BTW: I realize it's quite a while away, but are you planning on attending this year's Florida Bug Jam? I can literally stroll to the show site.

Sure would be nice to give Fisher Buggies (and their T-1 mavens) a T-IV run for their money.

Jake,
I just got the vwtrends aricle on your monster type four twin ignition.
It is very nice.
One question:
How much increase in HP "if any" does this twin ignition give an otherwise stock T-4 motor?

As one of the few T-4 builders

Keep up the outstanding work.

Kelly

The stystem requires a very large combustion chamber, especially with plugs placed in opposition of each other.

It is near impossible to fit both plugs in a head with less than 80cc of chamber volume. For this reason, we only use our twin plug heads on engines with bores of 103mm.
