Therefore, it has massive potential for most Beetle-based kitcars\u00a0including Speedster, 550 Spyder and RSK replicas.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a supercharger kit for the Type 1 unit from aviation jet engine engineers, Mark Allen and Dave<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Godfrey<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>of Nottinghamshire-based\u00a0Kompressorhaus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-24479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two versions of the kit are available \u2013 the Sleeper at \u00a31295 inc VAT includes items such as Serpentine pulley kit, Aisin AMR500 supercharger, stainless-steel<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>brackets, pipework, fasteners<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and more.<br \/>\nThe Ultimate package costs \u00a31650 inc VAT and adds genuine twin Weber DCOE carbs which are pre-tuned and tailored to your engine. The\u00a0Ultimate better suits 1600cc and above motors such as big bore 1776cc, 1835cc and above.Lead\/delivery time is approximately three to four weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-24480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/16-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMark tells me that the kits are designed to be easily fitted in two hours and you don\u2019t need to remove the engine from your car. As long as there\u2019s\u00a0enough space, this kit will fit. Extras required are items such as a fuel pump and breather box, although they can supply these at extra cost.<br \/>\nKompressorhaus recently conducted a test on a 1641cc engine which was producing 44bhp. When they fitted their Ultimate kit and put it on the\u00a0dyno this was upped to 105bhp! Imagine one of these fitted to a Chesil Speedster with, say, a 1776cc engine fitted. Wowzer.<br \/>\nThis could well be a gamechanging product for kitcar owners with Beetle engines in their cars, especially at such a bargain price. As Mark Allen\u00a0says: &#8220;It&#8217;s horsepower in a box and an affordable alternative to having a larger engine built to give you the same results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Weber-kit-and-engine-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-24481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Weber-kit-and-engine-5-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find out more visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kompressorhaus.co.uk\/\"><strong>www.kompressorhaus.co.uk<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Now, here\u2019s a brilliant new tuning kit for Volkswagen Type 1 air-cooled engine.
