I wouldn't recommend it. Why turbocharge? Because you're looking for more horsepower than you can get out of the engine any other way. But remember, forcing HP means stressing the engine. If you're looking to get good life out of the engine you need to overbuild it.
Let's throw out a number: You want 120hp out of your engine--double what a VW engine normally makes. You could get it out of a 1600cc engine, but you'd have to use a forged crank, forged pistons, and so on if you wanted a reliable engine. Or you could use 94mm pistons, stroke the engine a little, still use the forged crank...by the time you're done you've got a more reliable engine if you start by building a bigger engine in the first place.
1971
You don't. The engine is air cooled.
F0 1966/67 1300cc
HO 1966/67 1500cc
F0 1966/67 1300cc
H5 1968/69 1500cc
If it is an air cooled engine then it will not have a radiator cap.
1600cc from Model Year 1971 - www.lennysvw.com
If you're talking about a Volkswagen Transporter - THERE IS NO WATER!! It's an air-cooled engine.
This would be model year 1963.
From August 1971, this engine was used in California delivered cars. Had to do with emmisions.
you need to have the letters that come before the numbers to find that info
