Here's my racing Okrasa wasser being redied for fire up after a rebuild and detune.... It was turbocharged with staged 8 injector system back in the mid '80, my cooling system wont help a road car install, but in my case it works well, it uses two Honda bike rads for L&R heads over the trans, these pair up and off up to the main rad at the front, control is electronic, no mechanical water pump is used. its on carbs short term for a shake down in a well known saloon car championship over here, before it gets its injection and ignition system back on. its built for corner exit torque and mid range power. more data to come when its looking more finished and set up, i have another build planned at 2.9 ltr, all the core is ready for machining etc, all i need is the time
please don't fall for all the myth and rumor about unreliable wassers, its only the owners that introduce the weak links, as with any engine, ive made expensive mistakes myself
... they also love turbos and have a very good head design, very det resistant, and the lower half can take prodigious power hikes as they come from stock, the coolant has better thermal efficiency than aircooled, allowing more power/ advance for longer time periods, plus all the T1 goodies can be used, from cranks to camshafts.
I Hope to see more wassers being built
