Klaus does not answer emails from the United States. He does not sell to the United States. I doubt he will sell to you either, but best bet would be to call on the telephone and talk to his son. The German tuners even find him hard to deal with. But not impossible.

Thanks,

and good luck...

Randy

Hr. Klaus might prefer to sell a fantastic T4 engine complete with 911 cooling that could be the ultimate T4 into Bug conversion.

I cannot imagine how much it would cost to find out if his stuff is as amazing as it looks.

Those Magnesium carb boxes look like a great way to modify an old T1 case

I just got my Klaus shroud Friday. I will try to post pictures this weekend.
Looks real nice, as predicted nothing to the shroud, but the metal work is nice. Overall seems nice but overpriced. Wish I could tell you how much it cost me, but after dealing with this whole Alex engine deal, Oliver Knuf doing some case work, etc. it became way too complicated. A deal that probably should be avoided unless Klaus decides to play ball in the US. Not likely at this point.

Thanks,

Randy

Hey Wally,

His engine probably has the RSK cylinder cooling shrouds that I do not have yet. Air is ducted by hose from both sides of the shroud to the bottom of the cylinders. Is this what he has? You never know maybe I have the "Export" version of the system, generation 1 or 2 and not 3...

Thanks,

Randy

Yes, that is correct. I believe it is standard equipment on his engines with the 103mm bore.

Greetings,
Walter

Hey Wally,

I am waiting for the price from Klaus on purchasing the RSK cooling and some of the magnesium parts. We talked about his new billet cylinder heads but it may be too soon to anticipate delivery and I need to get going.

Thanks,

Randy

klaus shroud

I recently got an e-mail from Rolf Klaus about his shrouds. Super RSI if i am not mistaken you may have a stage ll shroud he say's that stage 1 & 2 are for sale but stage 3 you get that with a complete engine. Are you going to post pictures and let us know of the performance of this engine when it's done. On the issue of pricing of shroud and some parts here is what i got from Rolf.

Fan Ring - 168 euro.
Backside cooling - 180 euro.
Fan case ll - 198 euro.
Spannband - 69 euro.

Just to recap my deal with Power Tuning, they charged me $ 1,750. to machine the case (said it was about a $100. charge), buy the Klaus shroud and ship it to Texas. Like I said the Klaus direct price was just a bit better! And this transaction from the time I bought the case and parts from Alex to the time it hit my door was almost a year. I am awaiting my RSK system from Klaus now and then on to building.

Thanks,

Randy
