2276 build

With Turbo and Super charging you can create massive horsepower with vw motors.

I wouldn't really mind building a 1915. It would certainly cost waaay less. Really all it would cost is some heads. Maybe some pushrods. And as I said, probably a new header.

I’m curious to see any up size on engine and the boost levels your running. I think a 1915 would be awesome! Even more so if you have everything!

I’d go 90.5/92 heads if you step up to a striker crank latter you have all the parts just need a new crank.

I would have to use 94mm heads because I already have the pistons and the case is cut for 94's. If I don't use those the build can be whatever.
The pistons are cast AA's so I will have to be careful not to spend too much on this.

That's what's in the mouse! But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous about it.

Fair, I feel like you could run the AA pistons just be safe with the tune, kinda like the stock pistons

Really it will be a tough decision. I am teetering between Panchitos and mini wedges. The mini wedge would be damn near $1200 by the time I get them decked out. That's a lot of bucks to throw a cast piston at. Especially on a stock rod. And a stock crank.

If... and I am not in your shoes so I’m spending money I don’t have. I would go Panchitos.

Toss the extra cash at a fordged set of 94 and a counterweight crank. Stroke of your choice. Then your good to hammer on it for a bit.

Though I get the draw of the mini wedge I feel like the turbo equalizes some of the the gains you might get from a better head.

Also heads are easier to swap then pistons or a crank.

Just my thoughts.

Makes sense. But if I did forged and a stroker I would definitely want at least mini wedge... Maybe super pros.
I've been putting 30 psi to cast pistons for nearly a year with no problems. Not that it means it would be the same on a 1915...

Panchitos are 40x35 only. Far too small for a killer 2275.
Probably be pretty good on a 1915 though.

That's odd. The mini wedge have 43x37.5 valves and the wedge have 42 (or 44) x37.5.
