This is an easy question [IMG]https://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/756tpg/DSCF10461.jpg[/IMG] For the win.

Judson is far cheaper as a good one should cost you about £1200 ish. There's also Pepco, Mag, Shorrock. If you can find one.

Uau :shock: So about 1300 € for judson and about 5700 € for okrasa TS1200. Do you mean complete kit ? The one in photo is a TS1300-30 ? Why okrasa is the best for you ? is difficult as maintenance ? Sorry for many questions :d

If you want a Judson from a reliable source you will need to pay nearer €2000. The Shorrock VW Supercharger kit was made only for the later 40hp engine and are extremely rare.

A twin carb kit, some head work and a good exhaust would probably be a good start for a lot less money. A cam too if you want to split the motor.

Sorry for many questions :d [/quote] I have seen kits at Camberg twice for about £1000, but i expect that prices have gone up since then. This is a 34hp kit, and has a NOS 69mm SPG roller bearing crank, so it is the same as a TSV 1300 kit, but it also has bigger pistons so is 1485cc. Okrasa is better engineered kit, and the torque i get from this kit is really good.

[quote=zippy]i have a 63 and would like to increase the speed what's a good safe way to do this please [/quote] What sort of thing you after?? are you trying to keep a vintage theme, if so, twin carb kits are the cheapest, however if you just want to go faster, a single port 1500 is a great little vintage engine.
