[@21blake41]

As an owner of a '59 Beetle and a WRX, I approve entirely!

[@TheDuckumz]

Its official, this is the coolest beetle swap I have seen done so far, love that boxer sound...

[@JMSpeedshop]

thanks!

[@louiejonesponation]

There are better ones y’know. Search up on KZbin “1303RS.” Still, this is a good swap.

[@LawrenceGerman]

This is the same type of swap I want to do in a VW Bus. Possibly a 4 door Kombi. This was a great video, and it sounded awesome. I get that you built this out of love for the vehicle, and not to showboat, or brag about it. Whether if you do 10 second quarter mile runs, or use it as a daily driver, your overall project is simply awesome. Thanks for sharing Johan.

[@FireballGER]

Subaru does a 6zylinder boxer engine ^^ go for it here is someone on youtube that offers help and tips for a swap whit the 3.3 Subaru SVX Motor into a T3 his name is "svxcarat" check it out ;-)

[@shoqar]

I have never seen anything more beautiful than this.

[@JMSpeedshop]

+Anas Shoqar Thanks very much for that

[@Wiseguy248]

The fact that this bug is using an STI that's good enough for me.

[@carguy3217]

[@modelcitizen72]

+CAR GUY Exactly. 213 people... are morons.

[@JMSpeedshop]

[@njhotroder]

the classic hot rod way...light cheap body...good hp engine... awesome quick fast car. never fails. guys in the states were doing this to 32 fords dropping hemi engines and big blocks back in 50s. nice to see something different than the typixal honda mods. big thumbs up !!!

[@JMSpeedshop]

Thanks! I'm Busy with investigation for my next project it will be similair like this cheap body And big engine. Sleeper style

[@watchmovie27]

Do u want to sell it?

[@JMSpeedshop]

Sold 6 years ago . But i have a Mercedes w201 V12 swap. Only 1 in de world maybe You like that der have a look on my page

[@utooberblooper]

beautiful,fast and it revs sweetly.the boost seems to really come on fast and i love the sound of the blow off valve doing its thing.

[@rickeymitchell8620]

That is as raw as it gets! Gotta get me one of these! Great build and I agree with hearing the creaks and squeaks.

[@JMSpeedshop]

+Rickey Mitchell Thanks

[@mikeeey1337]

I've been following your progression videos for years. This is awesome, absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work!

[@JMSpeedshop]

thanks very much!! that is why i place my vids

[@deweypug]

That BOV valve sounds like my Pug sneezing! Massively cool car though!

[@skylarlynn8006]

2:00 imagine the guy in that SUV: "....WTF HOW CAN A LITTLE BEETLE DO THAT"

[@TheCincykid420]

"overtaken by Herbie the HOLY SHIT!"

[@christopherselleck5256]

Go granny car vvvwwweeeeee

[@vivitarasconnaisyveschante1900]

belle voiture

[@998777able]

This makes me proud of my VW Beetle. What a badass setup

[@edwardfinkelstein7219]

thats freakin awesome!! one of the best engines ever made

[@seekgodfirst1605]

What a blast. ... Although I was waiting for the hood to fly open at any moment

[@dundeedolphin]

Sounds amazing.

[@goropeza101]

Hard to believe that early Beetles had only 36hp LOL! This is a radical yet practical improvement! I love your little Beetle wrx hybrid!

[@VDSantangelo]

Hell of a nice job on that man, looks really good!

[@ododargo]

Fucking insane hats off to you sir

[@spedracer55]

omg this is cool sounds just like a subie

[@decimategamer9184]

Spedracer55 cuz its a subie engine?

[@AngeloChristmas]

Duuh

[@FrezzyYT]

DecimateGamer91 r/woooosh

[@AmunDeus]

That's a sweet-ass ride! Seriously, awesome setup man!

[@jk-76]

That thing was moving! Well done my friend.

[@JMSpeedshop]

+Erik Borg In the front where normally the spare wheel is and it is getting air trough the oem oil cooler opening under the front lid

[@pfcedmonds]

I need your help for my 69 bug Betsy I'm trying to make her a drifter so what do I need to do to fit that motor

[@JMSpeedshop]

+Ashley Edmonds the engine needs to be put at least 45mm forward from oem position to close the rear lid. But a little more is better like 6 cm it will give you so more space so allo gearbox needs to move forward

[@cadeq3045]

JMSpeedshop ! Not only does it perform well but it looks and sounds amazing too!

[@JMSpeedshop]

+In_A_Rush Thanks !!

[@Stabby666]

Great job!

[@jorologo]

Amazing. It idles and sounds like any old VW Type 1. Revved it goes like A Beast Poscessed.

[@renoromanin2927]

I have no idea how I stumbled across this video, but I'm now in love.

[@DieselWorld]

Don't really like beetles but that's a real nice ride you got there.

[@scott64ify]

I want one.....NICE

[@tomallis3954]

That is just plain, BA. Love it. Great build.

[@23hublock1]

That's a brilliant dump sound, I don't normally like it but man this rocks!Credit to you sir.

[@JMSpeedshop]

+23hublock1 thanks!!

[@jackrichards1863]

Ahoy matey! That's a damn good VW\EJ vehicle. Top job. I like the part where ,you did NOT pull it out of the shed and try to fry the tyres', as most deem suitable....and it fair shakes along too. BEAUTIFUL !

[@amelierenoncule]

I must see the suspension before I can appreciate this conversion...and before I would agree to race it. (Prior to agreeing to pilote an owners race ride, I spend a good deal of time inspecting its' 'undercarriage'.)

[@JMSpeedshop]

Jack Richards thanks!

[@JMSpeedshop]

Amélie Renoncule suspension is front and rear coil overs fully adjustable. No torsion bars. And stabilizer bars and cupstrebe. Good enough ;D

[@mrbadx19]

a stock smart will roll at 150KPH turning 4300RPM with a 999cc 3 cylinder engine, add a turbo and it tops out at 240KPH. not many people like driving an 1800 pound car with a 73 inch wheelbase much over 150KPH, it gets a little squirrelly.

[@JMSpeedshop]

+mr bad example The first versions of the smart petrol engine's where not really reliable at more 100dklm For me not really the engine to get high performance output

[@cooasp12]

never seen something as beautiful as that bug

[@michaeldewet5919]

turbo sounds amazing. well done bro. looks really good.

[@BossaNossa1]

Why does he sneeze every time he shifts..?

[@Sk3r0]

Not sure if idiot or troll

[@BossaNossa1]

+c$erkk C'mon it's a joke...

[@Sk3r0]

BossaNossa1 thank god, hahaha

[@yolofolo8674]

powershif

[@brentyork7413]

+BossaNossa1 lol good one!

[@anonymousstormchaser]

Call Matt Farah and get this on Tuned!

[@JMSpeedshop]

good idea maybe i will do!! ;)

[@indridcold8433]

Thank you for not putting a crap box CVT in it. It is well appreciated.

[@JMSpeedshop]

No problem 😊

[@march11stoneytony]

This car is bonkers! Almost crapped my pants when the boost kicked in

[@vwreconmaster]

I need a minute to myself now..

[@kotaman232]

I'm so jelous.

[@allied1394]

Wow great job you've inspired me I might have to snatch up one of these old bugs

[@timetowatchstuff3737]

Beautifully done man!

[@jaasun71]

Why do you sneeze just before you shift gears ?

[@Dansotherutubeacount]

its called a blow off valve...

[@funtpacecoof]

hahahaha! Ahh, well trolled

[@JMSpeedshop]

i sneeze not just before but when i shift!! the turbo needs it pressure be relieved when you get your foot of the throttle.

[@rkjer]

I expected it to be fast

[@stevebak90]

That's an absolutely sick build

[@andyxfish]

I like the design man, good job!

[@TurboABA1955Bug]

My point? Subaru is a slug.And such a pain to swap compared to The VW engine that can produce just as much power or more. That's why they're running low 10s and faster. I'm just not impressed. Sorry.I just haven't seen a Subaru swap that was really fast.I call 10.50s really fast in a bug.

[@JMSpeedshop]

i really not get it what you want. do you no what it cost to build a reliable vw engine with the same performance as mine and i mean really runs not only the 1/4 mile but also can do 100k miles with no problem this cost 10 times the price of a low mileage suby engine that is technical 10 times better and a bug with 350hp is never going to hit 10.50s in the real world i think other people have really liked your opion... i think ;)

[@hexadane]

Johan Muter I admire your work, I have gone the Nissan 1500 route few years back as I did the math and to rebuild my beetle engine would have worked me out R35000.00 (south African rands) where as the Nissan conversion with disk brakes and ss braided lines cost me in the region of R14000.00 I am contemplating on doing the wrx swop if I can source a motor. What gearbox are you running on your bug?

[@Stabby666]

Dude, you really don't know what you're talking about. The original VW engines cannot produce this type of power without changing virtually every single part anyway. Believe me, I've worked on those engines a lot, and it's expensive. Much more expensive than swapping in an engine with much more power out of the box, and the potential to push over 500bhp on regular gas, (not C16 or with help from a bottle) without getting crazy expensive.

[@skirmich]

TurboABA1955Bug Your high if you think a Bug with 350HP will hit 10.50s in the quarter... That would require at least +450whp... And you know how much a Racing Beetle engine cost? That shit its worth its weight in gold... This Subaru Engine produces an insane amount of power STOCK and cost literally 1/4th of a Racing Beetle Engine and the Subaru Engine will guaranteed out last the Beetle Engine for sure.. Make some Little mods to that Suby engine and you can have +500whp in no time with Regular Gas and still cheaper than a Full bolted on Racing Beetle Engine.. Those beetle engines are for the purist only...

[@yakacm]

I think next to videos about military subjects, videos on automotive subjects seems to bring out the biggest crack pot comments. Ppl listen to the BS spouted by ill informed ppl and spout it themselves as if it's gospel. If you think an engine designed in the 1920s or 30s is going to have anything like the performance of a modern engine, then you aren't being very realistic, about the only thing the 2 lumps have in common is that they are both flat 4s. That's why the Subaru engine was used very successfully to win un-told rallies, I can't think of 1 successful rally team that utilises VW's venerable old push rod flat 4s, not in this millennium anyway.

[@samlwanga9597]

Guys you are too professional keep it i love its sound and power

[@MrPeter3011]

looking back I wish my first VW-beetle would have looked and sounded like this here....great

[@JMSpeedshop]

Thanks a lot.

[@tylercrossalone]

man love the way it looks how the paint and everything im really picky when it comes to cars but this ill say its the nicest ive seen.

[@ricolaracing]

Nice to see it getting out and about Johan!

[@brentyork7413]

you did a great job! that is so SICK!

[@mohammadtaha6865]

the sound was awesome

[@nicholascremato4861]

best conversion I have seen!

[@itscorky]

I have to give you my compliments, that ride is sweet!!!

[@ernestpomareda8140]

Dam, that was a close shave parking it backing in!

[@ChopChompChump]

That's simply amazing.

[@davidkeep6526]

My first love, my first car! The young person, surf culture of '75 determined I would buy a beetle! Bought all the magazines, Hot VW etc and plenty of V8 powered and super tuned dubs made the pages. There was even a 351 beetle called Godzilla, long before Nissan GTR's inherited the name! Had beetles, fast backs, combi's and wagons in the friend group and it would be scary to add up what they would all be worth today! This bug would be a hoot to drive ( as all of them are! ). Not quite a " sleeper " though! Great car!

[@JMSpeedshop]

Thanks 👍

[@ChRiS00107]

nice celica st202 gages u got there! awesome

[@failcompliation]

It looks amazing. nice work

[@nicholascremato4861]

[@stevens9762]

Love it well done

[@kevinbarton9052]

Now that is the kind of car with a Subaru WRX engine I want. Perhaps all wheel drive for all weather conditions is a great idea.

[@shadowmind6343]

the blow off valve is just incredible!

[@modelcitizen72]

+SHIGATSU It sounds deliciously painful

[@4890ification]

Beautiful car and beautiful engine. Love this car man.

[@HeavensGremlin]

Great bit of fun...!

[@modelcitizen72]

You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome. What a nice car! That whip sound is hysterical, 1:18 "sti, or s&m?"
