Holley Sniper EFI installation on aircooled VW

[@stevecleveland6644]

Man, you did a great job explaining the sniper system. I have a 383 stroker with the sniper and have a good understanding, but you helped me a lot.

[@dbo9277]

Great install and info. I have a 78 Convertible S-Beetle and can’t wait to add this system……Thanks for the video.

[@alilmamba]

i think i found the best youtube chan to exist.

[@GarageItYourself]

Wow, that's pretty awesome that Holley have bothered with doing a single barrel EFI system. Pretty darned cool 😊

[@obaidullahkhan1536]

Excellent i have 1974 VW and will try

[@michaelvadney5803]

Very thorough, thanks!

[@speedbuggy16v]

Great system, I have set one up on a LS, I had no idea they made one for a smaller motor like a VW. Very informative video, there are a few things I would do different but most of them are just personal preference as opposed to it being wrong. The only things I would really change is the temp pickup, that air filter, and I would likely run the fuel lines in the tunnel like a factory EFI car..... Yes, I am a glutton for punishment.. Good thinking on the raised idle once HOT.

[@lbermud]

It's not made for VW specifically. It's just a retrofit from what Holley makes for vintage single barrel American carbureted car motors. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGaoXoBpl52KpcU

[@haydensansom9115]

Now do one for a dual carb setup! :)

[@kevinhamling1963]

Wouldn't that be awesome. ✌️

[@robertwilliams-ff9if]

Clark's Corvair throttle bodies

[@lbermud]

Highly doubt it. Jenvey and others already have IDA, IDF, and DCOE throttle bodies. Holley's is all geared for replacement of American carburetors, and this is a retrofit of an Autolite carb and all the vehicles that had them.

[@red-emotorsports1212]

We offer duals now!: www.red-emotorsports.com/shop?store-page=Fuel-Injection-c157866091

[@derekobidowski3301]

as to install the o2 sensor on the stock muffler the bung had to be on the center or if you have a Vintage speed muffler you can install the o2 sensor in the one port of the muffler as the Vintage speed exhausts have the o2 bungs provided in them.

[@vulcanpie]

Thank you. I will be calling.

[@ryan.graham]

I like that nobody has bothered to remove the old wasps nests that are in the car lol

[@sjhotz]

This is amazing! Expect an order soon!

[@ocavant]

Is the wasp nest on the underside of the apron integral to the working of the EFI and included in the kit? 🤪 Nnce kit and explanation but a bit triggering for my 100% stock sensibilities haha. I can see this as a perfect upgrade for a late model with Bosch J or K .

[@ArmandoHernandez-zt7gy]

excellent video nice work my question? Where can I buy the carburetor adapter?

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Man they got one of those for everything. It does well too. The rigs i saw with it were 300 to 600hp.

[@fredruiz3855]

This is great information. Thank you so much. I have been doing some homework and i was wondering if its possible to run a holley EFI 2300 instead as i have a t25 turbo that i would like to adap for a pull thru set up. do you recommend sticking with the 1100 or should i try the 2300? thanks

[@V8N8T]

I have a 2300 fitech on my bug and lowbugget does blow thru with them

[@cabdodger]

On the FI Super beetle, why use 3/8" fuel lines when half of fuel system is the stock supply/return lines and tank ports which I believe are 7mm? Thanks.

[@vittorio7775]

Can the factory evap system - w/the charcoal cannister under the passenger fender - be used w/this system?

[@Chris530-65]

How big a motor can this work on? Say I want to put it on a fairly stock 1776 with a W100 cam or even milder

[@red-emotorsports1212]

We run it on our shop truck with a 2021cc (76x92) engine with CB Performance Panchito heads and thier Cheater Cam. Works great

[@robertbandusky9565]

Excellent! Have you ever used this system on a 1973 Volvo p1800es? It now has a Weber 38/38 dges carburetor. Will Holly connect to Pierce Weber manifold. Thanks, Bob

[@EmmettRacing]

This is a good starting point for stock guys!

[@CaptainInsane-O]

Great how-to. Any plans to offer a similar service / kit for the Holley Sniper 2300 or 2GC systems?

[@migielbarrios412]

hello, what is the fuel consumption of this system vs a solex 34pic carburetor or a solex 30pic carburetor?

[@TheDopedemon69]

Do you have a parts list available? Especially for the manifold adapter?

[@stephencarr7173]

Question: Will this be adequate for a 1904cc (type 1) motor?

[@red-emotorsports1212]

@stephencarr7173 it depends on heads and cam. FK7's and W110's are about the biggest cams we've run with it and they run great

[@adamcobb8861]

Do you offer a stock fuel pump block off plate, or do we source this? I don’t recall seeing one in the kit.

[@donniesthing5574]

Does the temperature sensor assume the engine temp bellows and air regulator flaps installed, or doesn’t it matter? The last person apparently felt the temp regulator system wasn’t necessary. So, all the flaps, springs and bellows are missing. I’m just thinking that in winter the engine may never warm up properly. 🤔🤷‍♂️ Thanks. It would have been nice to have a detailed look at running the cables and wires through the chassis. Thanks for putting this together.

[@red-emotorsports1212]

I'm not running thermostat and flaps on my personal VW (the shop truck), it's not an issue

How much is this system, can't I use on my single port 40 hp engine type 1

[@gregoryschwarz2730]

Is there a way to do a reset if you put the EFI from a stock engine onto a high performance engine?

[@vittorio7775]

And can you use the factory oil bath or paper element filters on a pre-75 Bug?

[@red-emotorsports1212]

The top of the throttle body is slightly larger than a 34pict carb. You can fit a rubber based air filter meant for a Solex but not steel. Plastic housing may fit if you carefully heat with a heat gun and open it up a bit but we haven't tried. There's enough meat on the throttle body casting to possibly have a competent machinist cut it down to the proper size

[@universalpenman]

I wonder what difference will it make compared to my stock fuel injected beetle 🤔

[@nittygrittykitchen]

Love this install video. I have a 76 stock EFI convertible that I've been messing with for years now on and off. Currently I have a Megajolt using EDIS-4 coil but need a good EFI system to add. Will these work well together?

[@red-emotorsports1212]

Just needs to wire to a tach output signal and it's good to go

[@nittygrittykitchen]

@@red-emotorsports1212 I'll be contacting you when I'm ready. Thank you!

[@thomaskiger6960]

I put Holley Sniper 1100 on my Pinzgauer with air-cooled engine. It's very similar to VW engine but is inline leaned at 23%. Having issues getting good engine temp reading. Tried in oil line and in fins of cylinder head. Never reads over 150° to trigger open loop learning. What Temps you seeing on VW engine?

[@MP-hx8fs]

Will this work on a 1914 with an Empi 110 cam. Also have an ac unit.

[@StaticLowLife]

So is the 1600 engine the smallest to fit this to or would it work with a standard 1500?

[@red-emotorsports1212]

As long as you are replacing a 34pict carb, it will work

[@EnsVibes]

Whats the biggest engine you can use it? Im hoping to build a 2020cc engine with a bit of cam for road and some light off roading.

[@red-emotorsports1212]

We've done a lot on 76mm X 92mm thickwall engines, Engle 100 and cb2280 cams and mild big valve heads, works great!

[@bigmexicanchurro]

Thanks!

[@ozkrpalminteri9431]

Years ago i would've said what a waste of money cuz the system was worth more than the car. But now a day's Vw's are worth so much

[@gbaker929]

Would you need to change any of the initial tune's parameters in order to run this on a 2276?

[@red-emotorsports1212]

Too small for a 2276 unless you have mostly displacement and otherwise mild can and heads (stump puller). We run this on our shop truck with a 2022cc (76x92) with cheater cam and panchito heads from CB Performance and it does great. Anything more aggressive than that the single throttle plate would be too restrictive IMHO

[@mathewboyd3746]

We're a Vw engine building business and I've been wanting to change over to a simple efi system for most of our complete customer engine builds. This set up looks idea for our Type1 1776cc with cheater cam. I'm just wondering how I find out the cost of this kit? Also, we build a lot of Vw aircooled 2L & 1800 Type4 engines that originally have twin single carbies. I imagine it wouldn't be hard to come up with a twin throttle body version for these Type4 engines?

[@gbaker929]

That will basically be my build when I am finished. I’m running Panchito’s and a 110 grind cam, so it shouldn’t be too far off from your build.

[@Magnusscipioiterum]

Does this work on a 1776 aircooled motor?

[@red-emotorsports1212]

We've installed them on 1500's up to 2180s. Installing one on a small cam 2276 today

[@Magnusscipioiterum]

@@red-emotorsports1212 I currently have Twin Webers that when they run, are really responsive. But recently, I found that these carbs get fouled up by the sugars in the Ethanol and leaked gas into my oil resivior. I have been looking for a EFI system that easy to install and will not cost me a whole lot of money just so I can ride my VW Camper once more.

[@chrisbegger8684]

Do one with a 2 barrel setup and I am a taker. I really like LowBugget's Fittech two barrel setup, but folks say that their customer service is garbage.
