  • Skinny wheels, jesus christ!

  • Hi mate i reckon you have a awsome beetle there running 10 s is not easy to do expecially with 1600 cc it is a credit to you go the v dub good to see ! Australia downunder

  • @MrJim308 Thanks MrJim, my sons have raced this car for several years.We do all the work ourselves and fabricate it all. Search Youtube for " Hyper Bug " to see it's progress to low 6's at 116 mpg in the 1/8 mile. North Carolina, USA.

  • @Splungers MPH, not MPG, LOL!

  • /watch?v=eesJomkWlOw

  • a fuckin PORSHE engine in a Bug is soooooo KICK ASS hahaha

  • @IIIMAVER1CK a bug engine in a bug is so kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @DEVILxCT really do you have one. how fast is urs

  • @IIIMAVER1CK i dont know the top speed but it has 200+HP. its a 2180cc with a turbo

  • Herbie ate a mushroom :D

  • Herbia ate a mushroom :D

  • i have a 1641 but mine lacks the nos/turbo lol its slightly slower....

  • @omfgursodumb more than slightly hahaha

  • Oh look it's a porsche 911

  • loooooooooooooooooool O.O

  • Steve rebuilt the engine in my firt car when I was 16. I had a 68 bug. I spent every day at his shop till it was done. I learned alot from him.

  • wow what is that i was expecting a donut to pop out!!!???

  • @4BangerNA10Sec im sorry sir but you are mistaken its a 1.6 liter runin 8.90s

  • engine and exhaust look <3

  • @army71988 maybe eighth mile

  • @PAID2BSAVAGE

    Check out the Red Baron and Paradise turbo VW drag cars they are in the high 7s and low 8s in the 1/4 mile. What they have done with Hyper Bug is very impressive since it is done with such a small displacement. They are making six times the HP as the original 1600.

  • @vw2180 +1.

    This thing is cool (to me) because for some God forsaken reason, little peanut engines are cool :]

  • assholle dont move!!!

  • ive seen this car run in the very low 6's at elkcreek dragway.

  • holy damn, nice car. but you know they make under the hood turbo kits ;)

    did you custom fabricate it yourself?

  • This is a 1/8th mile track rite???? looks like you have it set up so that it's easy to remove the turbo, and still use it as a reasonable road car?????(not that having the turbo on all the time would make it unreasonable)

  • @taylorwolfbrandt Agreed- bolt on horsepower is a myth. It take lots of tuning and experimenting to get all the potential,and the more modified an engine, the more finicky it is.The Hyper Bug is a product of years of work.

  • Adolf and mr porsche would be proud

  • kujaftw,I believe Dr. Posche would be proud. The owner/driver of the car had a Grandfather and 3 uncles who served in the US military during WWII- An aircraft mechanic, a B-29 tail gunner, a tank driver under General Patton, and an infantryman in the battle of the Bulge,so that you could be free from Nazi's, play your video games and drink your warm beer. Place your Hitler comments where the sun does not shine...

  • @Splungers very interesting to know thanks for the facts

  • @Splungers Thanks for the info.

  • HEYYY !!!! PLEASE HELP !!! Can somebody tell me what do i have to do for tunne me bug for drag race!!!

    am saving for the modification, but how mucho do i need??? and what state is the better for buy the pieces??? or where is a good place for buy it???

  • Very, very nice! Not many can brag about a small-displacement ACVW running that hard!

    Blow-through, single IDF (DRLA?) system? Can't say I've ever seen one. Self-made? Not terribly familiar with the modifications needed to pressurize any of the Weber/Dellorto carbs - what all is involved? Any issues with the cylinders 'squaring out'?

  • ey frend what kind of pistons can doit this my good 6.s whit 1641cc is amazing

  • That is insane for a 1641.where do you race? Rising Sun,or Capital Raceway?

    Either way I got to get up with you guys.I live in Easton(just on the other side of the Bay Bridge,like you are headed for Ocean City)I want to bring my 67 to your shop BAD. I feel the need for SPEED ! You got a website or something,how do I find you guys?

  • type 1 box, weddle gears and mainshaft,spool

  • damn

  • WHOA! 6 secs for 1641! great tuning man! congrats!

  • that can't be safe right?

  • thats ok for a 1/8 mile.... i guees it takes like a 10 or 11 sec. for the 1/4 mile. it is great for a 1641cc....

  • @jjcg187 also true. either way, i dont really like the setup. that block wont last long running boost and nitrous

  • The "block" and crankshaft of the Hyper Bug have been raced in that turbo/nitrous configuration for 6 years- same block and crank, only 1 main bearing refresh, just to be safe.There is a video of a 6.29 pass on here, and it has been quicker.

  • @Splungers well damn. 6 years? how often is it run per year?

  • It runs the SEVWA series, several races a year, usually a test session before each race as well.Check out "Hyper Bug huge wheelie","Hyper bug vs 57 bel air"(a 472 cu inch car)"Hyper Bug 6.29 pass"Hyper Bug Mooresville"(running VW Pro-Mod) and "Hyper Bug sneak preview". There are more.

  • @jjcg187 thats still around mid 10s if it ran the 1/4 mile. id say thats fairly impressive for a 1641

  • @jjcg187 Wait, that's 1/8th mile? Oh come on, why they gotta do that. I hate 1/8th mile,it's so disappointing.

  • a 1641 running 6s!!! CRAZY!

  • go herbie go lol.

  • Pretty nice

  • hahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahh­ahahaah 6's ohohoh. Nutzy

  • i'm looking for a vw beetle 1970's model

    left hand steering

    if your selling i 'm buying

  • He Must be using the Nitrous to Launch, Good Combo..

  • how much hp have that car

  • i wonder what it read at the 60ft?

  • 1.38 60 foot on that run

  • das cool

  • is that streetable?

  • cause she used to street race it around town and it was given to her back in 1978 something like that by my grandfather and so its been in the family for a while. haha

  • o yeah thats cool well i didn't have to pay for it cause my aunt gave me her beetle which had the motor in it and its a 1970 VW beetle it's pretty sweet

  • isnt that like...100 cubic inches? dayum.

  • thats a wild 1641.. how much does a engine like that cost over there???

  • you can get a turnkey 1641 CC engine for about $2699.99. they are ready to run engines basically and thats the price from mid america motorworks website you could probably get them cheaper. but that engine is not going to come with a turbo but if you go to chico performance racing they can build you a custom made turbo turnkey engine but it'll cost you probably about 5-7,000 dollars

  • If you put a turbo on an "off the shelf " 1641, it will not make anywhere near the horsepower of the Hyper Bug. This is a Blow Thru turbo setup.

    It took 3 years of experimentation to get the Hyper Bug to do what you see in this video., To see even more power from this engine, from last season, search Youtube for

    "VW show at farmington"

    And "Hyper Bug 2008 sneak preview" Wheelies in 3 gears.

    My sons built the engine, and race the car.

  • i live in NC and have been to farmington dragway i was telling him how much a 1641cc turnkey engine would be. i was also telling him it'll cost you more for them to put a turbo on it. i'm talking about daily driving engines regular and with turbos. i have common sense and know that the engine in this video took some time to build and was specifically built for drag racing

  • This engine was street driven (at low boost levels) for 2 years, before it was put in The Hyper Bug.(no cooling system now) The original question was" how much does an engine like that cost?" That engine has a 6.29 at almost 114 in the 1/8 mile run on video here on Youtube. The car weighs 1835 pounds, and does 1.32 sixty foot times. I have given enough info to do the math and figure the horsepower. This is the only 1641 I know of producing that much power, so how much will one like it cost?

  • I have an 73 reg beetle that currently has a 1600cc, but I found chunks of magnetic metal in my oil during an oil change 2 weeks ago. So I will rebuild it this time to a 1641 with all electronic ignition from pertronix. I will not have the nitro goodies as it will be still my daily driver.

  • wow 1641cc engine

  • nice purge there in the middle i like that comming from a bug. im 16 and a 73 super beetle is my ride. its fun, but im not sure what to do with the engine to add more umph if you know what i mean. right now i have 1600cc in it, and i would like to bring it up to around like 1900cc but im not sure what the best way to go about doing that would be... if anyone knows the cheepest, but reliable way that would be great.

  • I would recommend that you go with a 1915cc. Are we talking a street car or a drag/street car or full on drag car?

  • @Lordestroyer why did the car backfire out of the turbo's intake on the 1st and 2nd shift?

  • @workensmart Sorry to respond so long after your question. the Hyper Bug has a rev limiter that shuts down the ignition to prevent over revving during gear shifting. When the engine falls under the 7200 rpm limit, it fires the excess fuel and air,causing the "Pop'.

  • @Splungers I forgot I asked that question but thanks for answering.

  • @midge255 take a 1600 and use 94 mm forged pistons with a 69 stock forged crank

  • @blackdog061 1641 cc is 69 crank 87 mm pistons

  • @midge255 Im 16 With a 1969 VW, and I bought a 1914 Pro Street Motor From MOFOCO. It runs well On the Street and i have yet to find out my times in a 1/4 Mile. It is estamated to about 110-120 Horsepower.

  • @MrHaladir hey if ur 16 you should have built that motor from the ground up u would prolly appriciate your car more i have a 66 bug i was trien to build that motor but didnt have the funds but next time u should ill tell you u will never get rid of it. good luck be safe dont flip over

  • @midge255 cheap and reliable do not go together well friend. keep saving your pennys mate and take a look for options on vw forums.

  • @midge255 Put the body on a custom Frame and stick a SBC on the front with a chevy 9in rear end. She might be a rat but she'll run 10's.

  • @midge255 dude i got a 74 bug. great little cars.heres my tip for power. put in a stroker kit with maybe a 90.5mm bore and a scat couterweighted crank. for a daily driver i recomend an oil breather box and a less restrictive exhaust. dual Kadron carbs work good but if u got the cash go for some weber idf carbs. if u wanna be a little differen, try a judson supercharger or a simple turbo setup.

  • @midge255 do what i did, I bored it to a 1776 cc, then put a big cam. put a thunderbird header and a little stinger, itll get around. 0-60 in like 8 seconds.

  • and i got to see this in person :)

  • this car sounds GREAT in action. i know the badgett brothers who created this monster, and they ALWAYS bring it to the Farmington Dragway in NC. AMAZING!!!

  • Dude, a VW was my first vehicle I bought in SOCAL. 64 Micro bus with a 1835cc and duel carbs. The stinger got me lots of tickets, but it was fun taking out beetles on the line.

  • rofl

  • And I suppose on that token we should also spurn jet travel. You are such a stupid fuck.

  • you're a bright one aren't ya?

  • that is 1 nasty bug,that's why it needs to be sprayed.ppsssssssssssss....

  • looks like this guy is short shifting out the ass. but i suppose if i had a beetle being force fed nitrous, i'd be shitting myself before i got on the track. good vid, and a good driver i think.

  • Define "short shifting" or at least your version of it.The car has a shift light, set at plenty of RPM. As to the nitrous, it's a small motorcycle sized shot.

  • I'm sorry, but dougerber, you whine too much. I drive a Nissan. It doesn't bother me that Nissan is Japanese and they bombed Pearl Harbor, which killed some of my Cali relatives. The past is the past. If you enjoy something then you should have every right to take part in it regardless of origin. Times have changed, and so have the mindsets of a majority of people.

  • VIVA EL FUSCA,VIVA EL FIURER,VIVA VW

  • i thinks its a wee bit higher...its cool to debate but it gets so out of hand.

  • Nice video:)

  • Only in the US would you get all this shit.........but the engine was designed by a jew at NSU ..long befor the war

  • Doug Gerber isn't a retard, he's just painfully stupid. Is he calling the owner/driver of the car in this vid a Nazi???

  • I do believe so.

    You know by his standards we shouldn't watch Japanese TV's because they bombed pearl harbor.

    What a disillusioned LOSER.

    Quite judgeing people by the make of their car, because its the SAME as racism(judge not lest ye yourself be judged). Grow the hell up.

  • Not you again fucktard! Please dismiss yourself from the human race and do the rest of us a favor. Yeah, whatever...I'm a Nazi because i own a VW. I guess having a Korean wife makes me a commie sympathizer? Oh wait, I would have a hard time being a racist with an asain wife, huh? Go away dude...seriously.

  • Why don't you stop and think before you type senseless ramble to see yourself in print? You are a dickwad...please excuse yourself from the human race because you are ten lengths behind the rest of us, read - a loser.

  • @dougerber  OMG DUDE ITS A CAR, GET A FREAKING LIFE YOU FAT NERD!

  • @whitepimp1991 are you actually a white pimp? how many bitches can you fit in your beetle? where did you get the idea that i was fat? if you like volkswagen beetles you are probably gay.

  • @dougerber do you wanna me one of my bitches? cuz im pretty sure i can squeeze you in somewhere next to all my other gay fat nerds =).

    anyways!

    just wanted to let you know that its ppl like you that make this world a better place. NOT!

    ppl like you make this world a shithole! yeah thats right! PPL LIKE YOU.

    im sure chicks would love to drive in your Hyundai cuz thats so much cooler right? WRONG!

    i wonder who put ur brain in its place?

    probly some one just as dumb as you =)

    laterz fatty =)

  • @dougerber I like vw's. I'm not gay. I have a 69 beetle with a turbocharged 1915cc that runs in the 12's. This guys 1641cc is fast as hell. And you think vw's are gay. Yet, you are sitting around watching a vw video. Hmmm. You must like vws. FAG !

  • @dougerber you sure are good at failing dumbass. bugs are fuckin beast. and i can squeeze in enough bitches in my car. the 1972 beetle has more room in the trunk.

  • @Lordestroyer bwahahaha i really dont understand why people harass the video uploaders....if you dont like it or have a problem then happiness is just another click away lol but seriously that bug is sweet loving the backfires out the stinger too

  • i think its funny that this dougerber fellow is ranting about hating vws because they represent hatred, all of his comments contain nothing but hatred and negativity, so in a way, he is the exact same as the nazis, he may just be in denial because they have so much in common. lastly....how the hell did a cool vid. about a fast car turn into some bullshit debate about nazis; nazis clearly have nothing to do with having fun and doing what u love. LORDDESTROYER, dont wast your time

  • Me? Get upset? Never happen!!! I will simply continue to expose the retardation of most folks on this site.

    Cheers!

  • i think hatred towards a car is a little different than hatred towards other human beings. like it or not, VW profited from the holocaust ( yes other companies did too.) as far as me being the same as the nazis, i believe that all human beings should have equal rights freedom, plus the fact that most of my family was killed in the holocaust. you can drive whatever you want. just keep in mind that when the "people's car" first came out, not everyone in germany was considered a person.

  • Whoa, first of all, nice car with a cool engine.

    Second: Don't get upset with this Nazi crab. Is it a 1942 VW? No, It's not even a Spit Window, so it's build past WW II. Germany is in the NATO, with the USA. What about the American's killing the native Americans, Stalin killing millions of Russians... I bet, this dougerber lost a race (that's why it's called racist?!?) against a bug and now he/she is just pissed off. Hahaha.

    Keep the VeeDubs rolling!!! Aircooled rocks!

  • get a life cool car regads of your fucked up politics. Im gussing you were raised in the south. The nazsi havent existed for years It's just a cool car sorry you cant see that want to know who I ambe more than glad to oblige your dumb ass

  • oh my god...having a VW doesnt make you a nazi! otherwise the millions of people out there that own them (myself included) would be one, that is so stupid and your mindset is totally wrong and offset to hate something because of where, when, and how it originated so many years ago. and if thats the case then you must hate pretty much everything....

  • this car was originated in the wwII but hiupothetically was turned into a peace simbol in the 60s and is a survivor of our times, excuse my english.

  • it's funny how people can turn ANY video whatsoever into a high schooler bitch fight...it's a turbo/spray 1641cc bug running at the strip, not a history lesson from your little setup you guys got going in your parents basement. go get jobs and join the real world like the rest of us... (this hilarious crap just reminded me why i never read the bullcrap comments).

  • Just so you know...I am in the real world, have a job and one of the fastest turbo powered steet VW's in the world. Check my videos. I am also not a racist or nazi. Just for the record.

  • i have checked out your videos and i enjoy watching all the clips from you guys. i'm in love with the split running the side draft setup (take it to be your brother's?). i've sent a few links of your videos to a buddy of mine who's interested in turboing ours. he just sold an 11 sec. 2275. -

  • VW is a nazi company.

  • Yeah, over 65 years ago!

  • What is your point?

  • my point is that VW are not symbols of peace and love like some people think they are. i am disgusted by the sight of them. to me they only represent how well evil can conceal itself. and the cars aren't that great by the way.

  • You're an idiot.

    Have a GREAT day!

  • that's all you've got! fuck you and your nazi car!

  • Thats all I need because you are an idiot. Period.

  • so it doesn't bother you at all that adolph hitler himself had a personal hand in the original design of the beetle? it doesn't bother you that VW was founded by a bunch of nazi's who used slave labor in VW factories? i used to have a mercedes, but now that i know the truth about the company, i wouldn't get another one. and at least that car got me chicks.

  • No, it bothers me not. I didn't enslave anyone. I like to go fast in a car that was built in 1968. You are an idiot. Funny you rely on a CAR to get chicks. Now I will add LOSER to your resume. Idiot loser.

  • well if it doesn't bother you then that's your problem. i would rather be an idiot/loser than a nazi. if i wanted a car to help me get men then i would have got a beetle instead of the mercedes.

  • You obviously don't need any car to get men...idiot loser manly man.

  • i guess you're trying to call me gay. which doesn't really hurt my feelings because im not gay.but think about what you wrote. if i was actually gay, then what you said would not have actually been insulting. anyway, it doesn't matter if im gay or not because i live in america. we won WWII, so i can be whatever i want and no one can force me to work on a volkswagen.

  • I hope you don't live in the south east, because if you do, those states were founded and built upon slavery, and you wouldn't want to support that. Thanx for the history lesson by the way.

  • i don't live in the south. i live in new york. a state that fought against slavery. i try not to support companies with ties to the nazi's. this includes american companies like ford and IBM. i honestly believe i will see the volkswagen company go bankrupt one day.

  • You have some serious issues. I think you may need to see a doctor.

  • oh well i'll run out and see one. when he asks me what's wrong i'll tell him "oh i don't know, this faggot on youtube who likes volkswagens just told me i should come here"

  • i guess you're trying to call me gay. which doesn't really hurt my feelings because im not gay.but think about what you wrote. if i was actually gay, then what you said would not have actually been insulting. anyway, it doesn't matter if im gay or not because i live in america. we won WWII, so i can be whatever i want and no one can force me to work on a man's penis and drive a Mercedes to pick up men. Hahahahaha...I kill myslf sometimes, hahaha! NEXT?

  • ford was a slave owner

    most big amarican companies are owned by families that in the past owned slaves

    ow the nazi's didn't make the vw's sold to the people back then .

    they just kept the name

    volks wagen

    good luck in hte world you racist!!!!

  • dude, of course ford was a slave owner. he was a nazi sympathizer too. but if you think that VW is clean you are in a state of denial. adolph hitler was personal friends with porsche. hitler even suggested improvements for the design of the original peoples car. i am not a racist, in fact im jewish and most of my family was killed in the holocaust. the VW company profited from the holocaust as did many other companies, including ford and u.s. steel. i say fuck them all.

  • i didn't say it was it's clean

    this is a clip of a a drag vw

    and your bringing up the past

    live and let live loser

    racist all ways say that they are not racist because they were once the victim

    but that is how the circle goes

  • dude, im not racist! cars are not the same as people. if i had a daughter, i wouldn't object at all to her marrying someone of a different race. i would marry someone of a different race myself. we are all people. no daughter of mine will ever drive a VW.

  • Henry Ford was born in 1863- how could he have owned slaves??

  • the familie

    did i say henry ????

  • The Ford family was in the State of Michigan, a "free state", no slavery allowed there, ever. Stop making crap up...

  • sure....

    does that mean that they could not own slaves in a nother state ?

    you are the same kind of person as dougerber

    you only want what you believe to be the truth

  • No frankie, you are the same as dougerber, making up crap and posting it as fact to create some sense of accomplishment or great knowledge, when you give no facts, only made up crap.When you are in a deep hole, stop digging.

  • reading your comment is proving that you are the only one who want to come out as the one who's got the knowlegde and want to accomplish something

    ow and how was the video or did you forget to watch it ?

  • The video was fine, frankie, I helped rework the engine in the car featured in the video and we finished up last weekend.New billet heads, new intake and exhaust configuration.See you at the Farmington race in a few weeks!..

  • Hey douchebag, here's a clue-all of Germany was under the control of the Nazi party from 1933 until the end of WWII in 1945.If anyone disagreed with the Nazis then, they disappeared-Inly a handful of VW's were built during the Nazi period. for propaganda purposes, Production actually began in 1949.Mercedes was around before Hitler..

  • i happen to think the people who disappeared are a lot cooler than the people who disagreed with the nazi's but kept on clicking their heels together. the company may have "created jobs" for german executives, but it also created a large number of slave labor positions in the factories.

  • Doug Gerber O Uninformed one, typing gibberish to rewrite history fools no one. Real, not propaganda VW car production started after WWII, no slave labor involved.175,000 views of this video. and one loser yells Nazi, make some more stupid comments, you pathetic wasted load.

  • @dougerber Another wank stain who wont buy a german car cos of the war did ya know nearly all cars use gearbox's made in germany.You need a car to get chicks, i guess your the kind who wanks over cartoon caracters. So why dont you buy a boring car and spend the change on a blow up doll and butt plug, You clown.

  • Comment removed

  • Dr. Porsche was not a Nazi,just a car guy,he is the designer of the Beetle.The British military rebuilt the VW plant after WWII to give the German people work and to keep them from starving. douchebag is an uniformed twit/twat.Check his creepy profile, and his great video of a dog heaving out a "log" Doug Gerber,what a Loser..

  • dude, he was a nazi . it was a nazi company.i like to bring it up to people and see how they react. this is something that i do all the time. when people react like this (by calling me names) it's even more entertaining because i know i've come across a true asshole and ruined his day. i think a lot of VW owners are good people that would be very unhappy if they understand the real nature of this company and how it came into existence.

  • You are such a douchebag. Its amazing that you set out to come across as a true asshole, but really your just come across as an uninformed, reperationist, moron. Ruin peoples day? Hahahahaha...the only person that has their day ruined by you is the poor woman that gave birth to your retarded ass. Your mother probably slit her own throat the day you began speaking.

  • i wonder if its possible 2 fit a small block ford in a bug?

  • fun

  • fun

  • Alright, so that 1641 is way, way quicker than my 1641..

  • Theoretically, this beetle would run a quarter mile in less than 10.5 seconds. Distance is a function of time to the power of 3/2. Speed is a function of square root of time. But it's all just theoretical, it doesn't take into account the traction limit of the tires, the time to shift gears, or that stuff which affects the first few seconds of the race.

  • The simple conversion factor to figure 1/4 mile ET's from 1/8 is to multiply the 1/8 ET by 1.58 .

  • THATS ONE SWEETY MEANY LITTLE BUGGY

  • +1. Show me a bettle that runs a 7 second quarter mile, and I'll show you a front wheel drive Enzo.

  • I got one....a front wheel drive Enzo, that is.

  • SARCASIM DUDE LOL

  • the engine look really...odd..

  • A flat 4 and a turbo is quite a lot to try and fit under the decklid...

  • yeah nothing special

  • Man that is so awesome! kick ass!
