🏅Pink Mud Bug: V8 powered Baja Beetle | ANATOMY OF SPEED

[@haltech]

Before you hit the PLAY button - can you guess what Haltech ECU is used in this car? Bet you can't.... Old School Beetles are cool. Baja Beetles are even cooler. So how about a Toyota V8-powered Baja Beetle? Today we take our tech scalpel to this pink machine and see what makes it tick.

[@brianwills4398]

Definitely a clean buggy.. Not bragging but you should see mine. 600hp CBM LS and 2700lbs. Wheelies on command 😜

[@bedlamite42]

Baja is from a region in Mexico, and the J pronounced as an H in Spanish.

[@westpalmgt]

Very awsome ! I currently have my stock bottom end 1uz making 781whp. It's made that power for the last 4 years 💪 These engines take a lot of abuse !

[@lockjawjak]

Green coolant on a toyota engine? Blasphemy!! Long live the UZ though, I have nearly finished an A70 supra race car with a GTX3582r slapped on a built 1UZ in front of a t56, running an old PS2000 that a mate had lying around atm to keep the budget down but always room for upgrades down the track ;) I can't wait to hear what it sounds like

[@Baja417]

It’s actually blue to match the frame, is there a difference?

[@ErebosGR]

Finally, a UZ-powered car, even though it's a buggy.

[@billymanilli]

Having the radiator right behind the seats scares me after that incident at Cleetus' burnout contest!

[@danaburdett7090]

Do you have 1uz base tunes with your ecu's?

[@kentstroud8218]

Another great episode Scotty and made better for this Volkswagen fan. Not unlike the Volkswagen’s of days gone by, It’s simplicity getting the job done - and looking cool doing it.

Love Baja!!!!!

[@christinejohnson451]

Love the video. Shared it and liked. Please more of the same, love the offbeat cars

[@Lusty_85]

Looks a beast.. you missed the most important bit though... Does she wheelie 🤔😏😈😈

[@haltech]

she certainly does!

[@benkingston5315]

I guess an Elite 1500 or even older. Regardless, thanks for the content and mixing it up, all still very interesting. Keep it up.

[@gregorizi]

1UZ is hidden tuning reliable gem, keep them hidden. Best V8 ever made. LS is boat anchor against 1UZ.

[@haltech]

Best keep this one a secret before they start going up in price! But yeah, they're def a gem.

[@brianwills4398]

My kid has the 1uz in a rock crawler and hammer's it every weekend. I don't know anything about that motor , I run a 600hp CBM LS in my baja and have been on the Rev limiter for 3 years with zero issues so far. I'll stick with the LS 🤙

[@makingconnections777]

Good video. I just wish you could have shown the car with the body off as well

[@ricepony33]

BahJahh! Love it

[@ИванАндреев-у8т]

Hello! Tell me, please, what gearbox is installed on the buggy?

[@bvward]

Scott, Not to nitpick, but @2:50 It's "Bah-hah" per Spanish language etymology ;) Bah-Jah sounds like a spicy item on a menu!

[@jesus_built_my_hotrod]

Upside down in a lake on fire. How does that work 🤣

[@michaeljeffers9635]

Awesome

[@AbbStar1989]

I'm a big fan of the KISS method. It's a thing. Umm, Keep It Simple Stupid. That's me. KISS.

[@buggymenondofidel4308]

Muito Loko este projeto!

[@dreednlb]

Woot!

[@vintagetractorsaustralia]

I’d love to drop a 1uz in my kingswood

[@darens1869]

Ouch! That funny bone sure does tingle! 7:35

[@myfriendpete]

Not a bug. Its a dirt car with a bug body on it

[@chrisscoleri2341]

I bet VW purists are pissed about an oval window being hacked into a Baja Bug.

[@leo2502]

Is that how Baja is pronounced in Australia? As a proper noun, you’re allowed to still pronounce it like “bah-hah”, not “bah-jaw”

[@MattyEngland]

Pinky
