[BONK2011]

Damn so how is the motor combo treating you. Any problems with it?

[slydogracing]

Awesome Video get some times on that thing!!!! and post up

[fatsubsonic]

Nice ride dude! How much HP is it pushing at the time of this video? What would you estimate 1/4 mile time?

es una hermosura

[oldvw]

hmm I might have started in second gear, as I would cruise at 40mph 3500 rpm in 3rd gear. Honestly this was so long ago I have no idea.

[germanvw]

Is this kit still in production? Thanks

[roboman79]

Sweet, I hope to be getting a 70 bug this weekend, I'd like to put a turbo on it too, Where did you get yours and about how much was it!

Great video, 5 stars!

[veedubus]

[oldvw]

dunno what you are talking about... old bug's didnt have turbos.

Whats the trick to get 15-17lb boost on 91 Octane without detonation?  Especially with blow through!?

[adriianv8]

@fatsubsonic 110 octane!

[cougar0n10]

That's pretty hot man...would you mind sharing the engine/trans specs with me. In the process of saving for a VW now. Sold my '69 about 9 years ago and now I want another. Thanks!

[oldvw]

motor is posted above.

stock super beetle trans

with a stage 1 clutch and new disc, new shocks, and a mid mount trans brace.

also had a empi shifter.

[buzzboy7]

If I count right that was 0-60 in around 4.5

Nice, I can't wait for my turbo!

[ch0g]

so glad this wasn't a rickroll..

[AZi2k]

stock transmission?

[DerkJester]

1776 still?

[oldvw]

yep. :-)

[DerkJester]

1776 with a turbo, they are a blast. one friend of mine had one in his 65 beetle, dual Webers with a blow through design, it was crazy how much power that thing had for it being a street car. it would chirp 4th gear going 85mph, he blew it and he put his 1835 motor back in it with the same set up and everything. he entered it in the Unlimited Street East and destroyed the transmission on the first run.

i've been thinking about putting one in my 69 beetle. can you give me some specs on yours?

[Astromic]

gr8,

what's the BHP???
