Excellent! My next project ;)

Is there a distributor on this thing?

Some electronic substitution going on?

See the coil packs at the back? Waste spark system.

It works very well. My VR6 golf has a similar system.

I'm not having much luck finding a thread on such a project.

If anyone has the time could they provide a link?

The original poster of that engine does not have it in his "garage" profile either.

It's an older electromotive setup.

Cool - thanks.

Those are GM DIS style coils. Extremely common with aftermarket ECU due to quality, availability and performance.

I don't think that's a Piech/VW/Bentley, but it sure looks to take the shape of a W12!

Beautiful Henry - Supertec build?

Best looking pump I ever saw - seems they're usually black:

Benz diesel?

Hmmm.. Think a G60 1.8 would fit? I know... I'm a glutton for punishment!


VR6!

G60 would easily fit... which means a 20v turbo fits as well. Such great engines off the shelf from VW during this time. Lower the compression with a spacer, add ARP head studs and a cam and it's 700hp capable with boost. Swap pistons and rods and you're north of 1000hp capable. Unreal.
