Status: offline 		i was also intrested to say that this engine is already tested after being built,so not much need for a run in .........but i will do it anyway cause im so kind hahaha lol

here is some info on this motor.

The new Cad-Power generation, based on Zenoah G240/270 engines.

The Cad-Power engines are hand built and modified. Years of experience guarantee for strong and reliable engines. They feature a flat torque curve and low fuel consumption. All engines are tested after modification. After successfully completing the test run the engines are shipped with a test certificate.

Tuning modifications:

- cylinder bottom machined for increased compression
- ports modified and blueprinted
- intake and exhaust ports are optimized
- timing of all transfer ports is modified
- cylinder gasket installed with elastic sealant
- tuning isolator installed
- crankshaft is modified and optimized
- crank case is blueprinted, modified and optimized

The engines are delivered in a wooden crate with an additional storage bag

cool huh??
cant wait for my parts to finish this beetle in two weeks............then there will be good vids

Are you gonna do any more upgrades to the drivetrain to make sure that it can take all that power?

I have not been driving it that much lately thanks to my other FG (the onroad). But I think it is a great combination to have them both
