EMPI Super Shroud Early 36 HP Style Fan Shroud for VW Type 1, Chrome

This is the chrome version of the EMPI Super Shroud, a fan shroud redesigned with CFD software and flow bench testing to cool better than the stock part. It corrects the usual imbalance that favors cylinders 1 and 2, and a velocity stack inlet pulls more air in, all under an early 36 hp style exterior.

Technical Details

• Style: early 36 hp look, non-doghouse, no heater outlets
• Finish: chrome
• Fan: stock 28-30 mm or thicker 37 mm
• Inlet: velocity stack, modeled on the Porsche 356 shroud
• Tested airflow: 7% more total airflow than previous EMPI non-doghouse shrouds
• Cooling: 42% more capacity with a remote oil cooler and 37 mm fan versus an OE style cooler and shroud

Fitment & Compatibility

For 1300-1600cc VW Type 1 engines with an upright oil cooler. It was built from 3D scans of OEM and bubbletop cases for a better seal to the engine tin than earlier EMPI shrouds, though some cases need minor trimming around the case stud and lower ridges. Loosen the engine tin screws if fitting with the engine in the car, and check fan shimming first. PMB Performance can help confirm this against your build. We have handled air-cooled Volkswagen and Porsche parts for more than 20 years.
