VW 36hp engine with Judson supercharger and Marvel Mystery Oiler running on test stand

This is the first video of my 36hp VW engine running with the Judson supercharger on the test stand. When I installed the Judson supercharger and Marvel Mystery Oiler, I also installed a H-filter bypass filter and a freshly rebuilt 019 distributor. The engine also has VDO oil pressure and temp senders installed. The engine is complete, including ALL of the tin and a working warm-up ring assembly. Everything will either get painted or powdercoated prior to being installed in my 1955 oval, ragtop, semaphore VW. I had to source parts from all over the world to get everything I needed. It was quite an adventure to get this all together and running. It only took 5 core 36hp VW engines. 8^)

sounds healthy, it will go a lot harder with a MrWob Arbarth muffler...mine does.

I've heard that. (Sorry for the pun!) I want one! Where can I get one?

Now you can command 50 horsepower! Very cool motor

@bikr1975 Well, they may be only 36 hp, but these engines probably doubled the torque output compared to the horsepower. A factory 36-40 horse should have around 65-70 ft. lb. torque.

......back in 1960 I had a brand new Beetle with the Judson, Abarth exhaust, camber compensator and good old Michelin tires on all corners. Sweet memories.

hhaa.....im just suprised they could get around with just 36hp. good little cars and a supercharger makes more fun.
