 Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 1:22 am Post subject: What motor do I have |
 |
|
| Just pickup 2 VW motors 1 is complete the other one all parts are there but disassembled. Can anyone tell me what size, year and what type of VW they came out off. One has a serial number of AH445943 right below the firing order. The other motor has a serial number of U0226574 between the alternator/generator and the gas pump. I also got an trans axle case which was taken apart looks like all parts for trans axle are there. Anyways I guess I can use the trans axle case to test the motors before installing into the bug. I paid $105 for both motors and trans axle case. |

AH engine appears to be from 1974 type 1, 1600cc 48hp
U engine appears to be from 1969 type 3, fuel injected 1600cc 54hp
Others will be very quick to let me know if I am wrong. |

| Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think the U0 block is fuel injected cause it has a fuel pump port. Could it be possible that they made U0 a carburator and a fuel injector model? |

According to the tech section here:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/serialnumberst3.php
Column it's under lists it as 69 FI type 3 unless I am reading the chart wrong.

My OU case uses a mechanical fuel port. The later model fuel injected cases did not have a mechanical fuel pump. You may want to disassemble both of them and see if they are even rebuildable.

All the type 3 cases had a provision for the mechanical fuel pump. The factory installed the auxillary air regulator in that place which was bathed in oil for its operation. Even the later type 3's had the AAR there but was controlled by a 12v wire.
The only case which did not have a fuel pump provision was the type 1 ('75-'79) fuel injected cars. |

Hey, guys. Maybe you can help me out with the motor ID also. Previous owner of my bug told me something happened to it, block was replaced. Very shiny! The numbers that are on the list posted by sb001has very different numbers than my block. this is photo.

Ever ponder starting your own post? 
You have an early case depicted there which appears to be a 40HP.
It's "very shiny" 'cuz somebody has spray painted it silver, & with at least 3 paint blisters clearly showing in the 1 small-area pic (ref:directly below #2, #8 & "WH"), I'll offer that it was very poorly prepped for the coat.
Suggest going back to the link provided by sb001 & click on the "Type 1" & then "Type 2" tabs at page top to determine pedigree of your s/n 6289791 case.

I'm not sure how compression works.
Turbos don't produce torque, they produce HP. Instead of torque.
The real problem with NA engines is you don't hear the nice whine of the turbo as it spools up.
Before I commit, I'm going to do more research because I don't really know what piston rings are. |
