VW RICH FLAT4 sorry it has been so long since I did these that I don't remember the measurements.

@@VWRICH23 looked at some of your videos, nice bug good job on the interior 👍. Looks like you have a 1600 DP, I'm guessing it has a stock carb. For the money I would NOT do the 1.4 rockers until you have done everything else that you can bolt on with out splitting the case. You mentioned you want to put 87mm pistons in, that would be a good time to home port the heads and get a three angle valve job. For the money carbs will give you the best performance. Dual 40 weber or copies can work and would give you room to grow into a larger motor. But if you don't plan on making it bigger than 1641 a set of dual singles would be great. The 34 dual empi carbs worked better than I expected, they will need smaller main jets as they come jetted for a 1776-1915. Buy a set of 130 mains when you buy the kit. They set up very well and had good instructions and where great price. If you want the most you can get but don't want dual two's ( 40webers) then 40 kadrons are another great choice. Both of those carb kit set up well and require little to no maintenance. I would also suggest a CB performance filter oil pump, the are a great product and will keep the lower end clean and happy. For the exhaust I would run a STD header ( non merged) as you could run heat if you wanted to and it will clear the filtered oil pump. The muffler is all personal preference as to want sound you want to hear. - Hide out mufflers are nice and quiet but kick up dust . - Dual quiet packs are quite but sound good when you nail it.( They also make it sound ever so slightly loppy at idle) -The mondo/ phat boy muffler sounds raspy but make a drone sound on the highway that gets old on long trips - stingers are cool for two minutes and then they are just loud even with the baffles as the fiberglass packing blows out. I know this is long but hopefully it will help you pick some parts

what is the purpes to change the rockers arm is that to give you more power ?
@MattLundquistVW7 жыл бұрын
Changing the ratio of the rocker arm increases the lift at the valve. It will increase the power by a small amount ( usually 3-5 HP for 1.4 ratios) , but helps other mods like header and dual carbs reach their full potential.

They might be, I got them in a trade and they were not in the package.
