top stuff!

how hard is it to fit the 4AGZE unit to a stock flat4 setup? simple bolt on or did you play with the internals as well?

[BoostedVW]

if your handy with a welder its not too difficult, just make up some mounts, manifolds and a belt drive system. The 1600 engine it was on in this vid was stock but my 1776 had some mods.

[storm4X4]

cheers for the reply mate, i'll look into it for sure. my 1600 dual port could do with a little extra poke.

[amirrzz]

can you drift that thing?

[thetechnician22]

Dang... Were you going 105 mph with a supercharged 1600cc?!? Thats amazing!

[BoostedVW]

yea, but ive got a taller 4th gear and 18" rims which make it possible. with stock superbeetle gearbox and tyres it would only be about 150KM/H

[crazywetdog]

hey were did u get that supercharger from

[BoostedVW]

they're found on all 4AGZE toyota engines. mine came from a gen1 MR2

[danakindadude]

ohhh, hahaha yeah

[danakindadude]

all that effort into a bad ass car, and the video quality is shit...still sick though

[BoostedVW]

its only taken with my crappy mobile phone. bit hard to drive at those speeds one handed and hold a video camera steady

[jjwebb123]

holy shit hardcore right there lol

[corvette6698512]

any idea how much it would cost to build a complete setup? i think it would be real fun playing around with my stock 1600dp. throw a cw crank, mild cam, and supercharger. thanks dude, cool video

[sstorholm]

Bloody hell mate, I wouldn't dream of going 160 km/h in my bug, let alone in my turbocharged Volvo. What kind of suspension are you running?

[BoostedVW]

ive put a fair bit of work into the suspension to make sure it hugs the road well

front has custom coil adjustable struts with koni inserts, whiteline swaybar bigger type3 brakes, lowered all round and running on 18x8" rims, rear is fairly stock IRS lowered 1 spline gas shocks

Holy....

HOLY!!!!!
