Turbo B18 VW Bug Gets LAUNCH CONTROL!

[@luvstruck2733]

Some of the VW parts houses have scoops the mount to the right and left rear quarters?, and fill the engine compartment with air, you can duct the air where you want it, but they fit a Bug on the outside.

[@truelegendracer]

I’m loving the bug progress. I recommend a water cool intercooler if the hoodscoop don’t work out

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

That would 100% be a better option haha I just didn’t want to go that route because I’m stubborn haha

[@fendurrr]

Preston! So glad you started a channel and that it is GROWING! After I went there to get my radio bezel dipped and saw the bug project, I was always curious what you were going to do. Now I get to follow it. You guys are awesome! Keep it up! might go get more things dipped to see the progress lol

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Hey man!! Awesome!! Glad you found the channel!! Thanks!!

[@alltheboost5363]

Awesome build been waiting for an update... don't worry about how it's running... it's not tuned. Clean all your fabrication up grind all your welds down reweld them if needed. I guarantee you there's some pinholes in there and you can't have any. All that piping and everything needs to be finalized. take it all apart clean it... clean it again...reweld it... wrap it. clean up the wiring as best as you can and get it tuned! You're so close to being able to drive it this thing and its going to be fast. Soon as you have a driving after it's tuned you'll have plenty of motivation to make it look nice. I'm sure Brent is going to think this thing is awesome.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Wow! Thanks for the comment! We’ll do as you say! Thanks!!

[@rsharney1111]

Since I started watching your show. I pulled out the diesel troop for its 2nd twin T set up. I've got pilot lessons, rotor builds, Disco Rover build, own a fab shop, and building my own house in the high dessert. But I put them on the B-burner for this channel. Don't burn yourselves out, your going to do great things in time.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

You don’t know how much that means to us. Comments like this make my day. Thank you for your comment and your views, we really appreciate it

[@micahdpenrod]

I'm really pumped I found this build. I have been talking about wanting to do a Honda swap on a Bug that I have for a couple of years. Luckily I listen to your disclaimer and have noticed a few things I will do different but it's still an amazing project. One small suggestion would be investigation in a gimble or tripod. Lol!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Haha thanks man! We’ll improve things down the road haha

[@USN_Ret-]

Suggest ground straps from engine and frame in at least two places. One to block and one to the head.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Great thinking!

[@realnamez1]

I'm doing naca vents in the rear quarter windows. Ron lummus sells the kits

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I’ll check them out!

[@glassblastcollision]

Put a big washer on the pipe under the hood to the pipe and cut the hole in the hood bigger ! That way it will still clear when you open and still close it up around the pipe!

[@Brock_Landers]

I'm glad you went with a GSR...the P72 B18C1 is a great engine. I don't think that I've ever heard of anyone putting two turbos on one, but I'll be interested to see how quickly it spools those smaller turbos. The tuner can adjust the timing and air/fuel ratios to make the turbos as efficient as possible. I'm legit pumped for this build. I think that once it's tuned, painted, the interior is assembled, the glass is in, and it's back on the ground it's going to be such a cool little custom bug. I saw one sitting in a guy's yard yesterday afternoon and I thought about picking it up and swapping in my built B16A that I have sitting in my garage. I have seriously always wanted to own an old Beetle.

[@Brock_Landers]

My only issue is there's something about only having 40-some horsepower that doesn't sit well with me...it would have to have a stroked high compression VW van engine or something.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Yea they are very underpowered but cool little platforms!

[@Z-Ack]

Weld a flange on the inside of the “hood” and extend the pipe just enough where it doesnt mess with the closing of the hood and with the flange gou can put tips on it so it will have ann exhaust petrusion and will still be able to open it up.. how i did mine. As long as the flange and pipes inside dont touch it doesnt rattle or csuse anything negative .. just for looks.. and dumps out the car better, youd be surprised at the backdraft bugs make right at the center lower section. If you look at tunnel data they make a swirl right there.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Dang! That’s a great idea!

[@KWC0]

I would pull off the valve cover and make sure everythings moving as it should

[@stonedsquatch4205]

You guys are definitely in my top three Automotive channels! PFI, boostedboiz, and you guys! 303!...... maybe it's just because I live here in Colorado..... Maybe all of us Colorado things are just that awesome! LOL.... That's got to be it LOL............. sorry Cletus....... Number four is still very good though

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Awesome man! Thank you!! That means a lot!

[@houset1794]

I gotta say it also bro that’s my list exactly I literally look forward everyday to see those exact four channels freaking blow my mind and entertain me!!!! Your all so RAD!!! Thanks again for you all and sorry Cleetus but 4th ain’t bad.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

House T haha thank you!! We really appreciate it!!

[@boostedred_473]

A roof scoop might add down force. That might just be a good thing. I think a scoop from the bottom may not be a good idea for highway pulls. But that's just my opinion lol ; )

[@bondovwvw]

Needs a harrold helper

[@AdamOpheim]

Why bother with an IC on a build like that? Run a little water meth inj at each turbo inlet and eliminate all the bs. A2A will never work well there anyway. If u run e85 youd be miles ahead. Black bbq grill paint and wrap will take care of those welds! Good luck! Great project

[@tonymalm5539]

So Volkswagen or Baja Bugs have the back windows that have ports on them that you can get air in through them so you don't have to cut up any of the body or anything or make the under scoop wear if you run in rain or anything that throws water up on top of the motor I think that would be a very bad idea but they make windows that have holes in them with Scoops and I'm just sucking fresh air for the motor the go in those back windows look them up

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Our windows are solid with no hinge or anything to bring in fresh air

[@melissastone8461]

@@GARAGEIdiotS I think he is saying you can buy new back windows that have the scoops built into them. Maybe Plexi?

[@punkbloater]

GARAGE IdiotS - Could be a good idea though to have a look at mod parts for dubs, they might already have invented stuff you need. No need to reinvent solutions, at least for inspiration. But then again I love the home made low buck attitude you got on this build. 👍🏻

[@melissastone8461]

Maybe I misunderstood where where he is talking about.

[@tonymalm5539]

Yes there inserts that replace the back glasses I don't know if they're plexiglass or anything like that but I've seen him whenever I was in California out in the desert with the Baja Bugs I don't know where you get them at or how to get them or how much they cost but I've seen them

[@bigcheeezzz7135]

Ya know,, they used to make a 1940 Ford style hood, that had a big pointed grille. I'm thinkin if you could find one of those you could put a taller radiator in it. Put some roadster headlights tucked in close, yeah man!!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

That’d be sick!!

[@camd3041]

i've only just found your channel because of Honda Vlogs channel, this is awesome... I'm building a b18 mk2 Golf..

[@irakromero6440]

I’m in love with the bug 🤙🏻🏁

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Right on! Thanks!

[@damionstoen2596]

With the dimensions of the b18 engine you think it'd be possible to front mount it with a custom tube frame/ fabrication w/ single turbo

[@OnShouldersOfGiants]

Should of taken that whole Volvo engine. The Volvo 5 cylinder is a solid engine and sounds amazing.

[@RustyGlovebox]

The power to weight ratio of the Bug is going to be crazy

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Yea it’s gonna be nuts!!

[@rainydaysroofer9474]

[@StanleyKubick1]

meh, you can bottom them out with a hex-driver no prob. I do it all the time on my my own cars, then torque to 10 ft lbs

[@tomb9818]

Modern electric impacts can be set very low

[@barrycampion9679]

Still got that beetle rumble

[@razorburns8651]

drilling that decklid is practically a crime,especially when you could have ran the exhaust differently.

[@houset1794]

I’m totally with this guys. It’s a worth while day when I can just click a button and get this kinda entertainment lmao you guys freaking rock!!! It’s so dam cool to see so much goodness repurposed to build something so cool. Thank you so much for all you guys do and allowing all of us to be a part of it. LOL LOL the disclaimer is so freaking great bro F.Ck all you haters!!! Rock on fellas!!🐲🐲🐲

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

You rock!!! Your comment just made my day! Thank you man!

[@Thuli_KB]

quite interesting and thanks for sharing. you guys motivated me to do something rather similar just for FUB. i am at planning phase and i will be using engine from vw golf 4 1.8t because my brother has one and i will copy from it. i cant get my head around the shifter cables from gearbox to the gear lever hole. i honestly dont know how shifter cables are connected since the engine is now in the back. i.e. the cable will go backwards towards (beetle) exhaust when i transplant the engine. i would like to know how do you run shifter cables from gearbox to the gear lever(to front) to operate normally. your help will be highly appreciated. thanks in advance, anyone's help will be highly appreciated, D from South Africa

[@Terrycrackcorn]

Badass bug man! Cant wait to see her makin' jam!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thank you sir!!

[@Nihil1st1347]

You have extended the wheel base in the rear about 5 inches, right? It definitely improves the proportions in an almost invisible way. So it don't destroy anything and keeps the memory. Well done!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

It was by accident haha but thanks!

[@KWC0]

Check ur exhaust valves and make sure they are opening...could be over torqued

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

We’ll check but we haven’t touched those so I would guess if anything they aren’t tight enough

[@KWC0]

@@GARAGEIdiotS would account for the popping...was my thoughts.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Smokey ah! Good thinking!

[@lockstop1051]

@@GARAGEIdiotS the popping is the exhaust leak letting in air and causing a flame. valves arent torqued it has hydraulic lifters

I think he is talking about valve lash

Disclaimer is on point

Thank you sir

[@67shelbygt500]

Bit more information in regards to the under car air scoop you will need to fans to suck air up but it's definitely worth it and it doesn't ruin the look of a car

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

If the scoop pertruds 2-3” past the floor pan of the car there should be no issues grabbing enough air flow, but a puller fan was also part of the plan just Incase. Thank for the input man!

[@Brother2Jis_27s4]

If that's a used stock Audi throttle body y boot I wouldn't trust it with any boost above 6-7psi.. Boost and vibration is guaranteed going to split. Just a heads up...

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

It’s a aftermarket one we scored at the junk yard, I heard the stock ones pop at anything over 10psi

[@Brother2Jis_27s4]

@@GARAGEIdiotS worst case if you're dead set on using it and it does split you can score an aftermarket one on Amazon for around $30 and it comes over sized so it can be cut to fit. You can also run a map sensor in the charge pipe so you can get an accurate charge pipe boost reading...
