@Steven DeSimone posted:I guess I should of asked earlier.. With the significance price difference between Subi and VW engines, what are your thoughts on air cooled VW engines. Which one HP displacement reliability wise would you recommend if at all.
I'm no expert but a ready to go Suby Speedster or even a converted Suby conversion is going to be more money, period. Whether it's initially built with the Suby or converted the cost to build is significantly more money. However, I feel in the long run it will be a much more reliable engine regardless of how big you build it. A stock Suby has more hp right out of the gate and no massaging has to be done to get it to have more hp. That being said a Suby can also be made to have a serious amount of hp.
