Love the fact that the decklid closes completely. Understated . . . perfect!

[@StockTurboN20]

That always bothered me with modifying the beetles

[@trevorallan1340]

I'm impressed, 440hp out of a flat 4. Makes me want to get back into building VW's again. The last 1600 VW I built was in 1987 and we didn't have near the options back then.

[@GULFZILLA]

My 500hp turbo bug, wheelied the whole 1/4 on 6ft double tubed wheelie bars! 9.80s at 155 back in 1990

[@og-greenmachine8623]

How many HP y’think would blast off But, “STAY DOWN” -For street application?🤔

[@JNKM-rl1wu]

[@jbow1488]

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

I remember when an Engle cam and a pair of Webers were the hot setup. I love that the VW flat four continues to evolve.

[@ni_wink84]

Muito legal 💪😜👉🇧🇷

[@craigr13666]

I'd love to learn more about rear suspension set ups in cars like this. My 73 only has a single carbed 1853, running a solid motor mount. I fabbed the stock rubber trans mount into a solid mount because everything aftermarket I tried broke on hard launches, bending the heck out of the shift tube and broke the nose cone on the transaxle once. After replacing the nose cone and building a cromoly shift tube it all seems to hold up pretty good. But I don't dare run it with a sticky tire or run a bigger engine like I plan on, before I figure out what to do with with the rear suspension.

[@chrisdevalcourt648]

I raced in the early 70s. Chrome moly shift rod, solid motor mounts, beefed up differential and a line lock were some of what we had success with. The line lock allowed us to preload the trans and diff before launching. That was 48 years ago. Probably newer and better technology today. We were able to run 12.91 with a 1752 cc motor carrying 15lbs of weight per cubic inch of motor (107 inches).

[@craigkidman]

It's like a little lamb beautiful with mind of a axe murderer

[@andresguerin7162]

What is the reliability of this engine? How many miles can you expect to get out of this engine if driven in a daily basis?

[@badbug911]

Are you running a bus 091 gearbox in this car.

[@danielmasese7236]

Hi that is cool, the power is crazy. How can someone get that engine and at what cost?

[@garrutattoo1]

Good afternoon I am writing to you from Spain, what price would such a preparation cost?

[@peterlopez6743]

Bello

[@user-ti8fk9vp5m]

Wow Nice Ride !! Do you still have this beast ?

[@krazykafur]

what heads ??

[@chevplane]

Nice. What time did it run on the 1/4 mile?

[@powerhausvw]

it ran a 7.10 in the 1/8 & 11.84 in the 1/4 back then, the car now has a best et of 6.61 in the 1/8, haven't been back to the 1/4 mile track yet, there are newer videos under our profile with et posted.

[@treloughfarrer7604]

Times?

[@maria_minamahal]

Was there a let up on the gas or was that a freeway flyer 4th gear that seemed to cost y’all the win at the very end of the quarter mile ??

[@powerhausvw]

your spot on, this car had a tall 4rth in it at that race and right when I dropped it into 4rth, the other car pocked out right in front, we've changed the gears right after the race, nothing too short, just more inline with 3rd but have only been to the 1/8th mile tracks since then, cars best time now is 6.61 @ 106mph in the 1/8th

[@tomatwork5224]

What gearbox you use?

[@powerhausvw]

This car has a swing axle transmission originally built by Wright Gearbox wrightgearbox.com/?fbclid=IwAR259sOVYewTz08yrASRted7y8I376sSCqc6MvdPNi0KTgNij7TfaxiZXN4 using all www.youtube.com/@WeddleIndustries gears

[@mohamedshehata9825]

👍👍👍💕😍♥️💖

[@B18bVtec]

I'm going to guess the 1/4 was driver error that's why it wasn't posted.

[@luixfalaguasta]

Who is the manufacturer of the rollcage?

[@davidgros4838]

You gonna make some v-8's crap their pants!!! 😲🥴💩

[@korosuchimu1479]

How do you measure Bhp on a transaxle?

[@powerhausvw]

We’ve dynoed our turbo set up many times on both wheel & engine dynos, this car has made 440hp@ the rear wheels, that would definitely be at least 500@the crank

[@wischiwaschi1204]

Lass ihn doch mal gegen boba s Golf antreten

[@barneymiller7894]

So does the owner not want times published? Because the people want to know!

[@powerhausvw]
