EMPI Engine Battle 2024 presented by J Bugs!!

We are excited to announce the EMPI Engine Battle Presented by @jbugs_california_pacific , we are challenging EMPI dealers around the US to show off their air-cooled knowledge by building the most powerful naturally aspirated Type 1 engine with EMPI parts including any forged crank, heads, carbs, manifolds, exhaust, ignition kit, crank pulley and valve covers on an AutoLinea engine case straight out of the catalog. All other parts are the builders choice and they will prove their power on the EMPI Stuska 800 engine dyno with Jack Sacchette on the handle for the Championship Saturday June 15 at the EMPI Open House. There are no limits on displacement, compression, bore or stroke, and builders can machine & modify parts for maximum power. Internet bragging rights and $24K in cash prizes are up for grabs with the winning motor showcased in the EMPI booth at SEMA 2024! Every second of the EMPI Engine Battle dyno action will be live-streamed on the EMPI UA-cam channel courtesy of AutoLinea-this is gonna be awesome! 😎 😤🤩 #empienginebattle

[@ronaldspins]

You threw down the gauntlet Nitrous is in it's own class. It's a "Combustion Enhancer". powered! No matter how additional elements are gotten into the mixture- via atomization, trick fuels or fuel additives, if the mixture is drawn into engine solely by the suction the engine creates, it's naturally/normally aspirated go Nitrous

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Engines no bigger than 1915cc, would be better for the contest. Just my opinion.

[@EMPI_Inc]

thanks for your feedback-its builders choice! How high do they want to rev, bore, stroke displacement, etc.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@@EMPI_Inc Your parts, your rules. Its easy to build big engine for big power.

[@blakedismuke3656]

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetleits hp divided by CC so it's pound for pound and so people aren't gonna go big they are probably going to make 12K RPM motors.
