TURBO Volkswagen Karmann Ghia!

[@GIGABACHI]

We NEED MORE of this "No-Non Sense, not so fancy, I'm not broke and didn't loose the house, wife and kids to the pawn shop" home builds. Keeping it real. 👍

[@Hammar89]

I find this a billion times more joyful to watch than the endless wave of big horsepower lambos and gtr's. Keep up the good work Kyle and crew ! =)

[@ethangee96]

Never really been a fan of VW's but these are cool, especially this one! 230 at the wheels in a car that's light (and getting lighter with the way that rust is going) is a good recipe for some fun!

[@derstatiker1164]

free weight reduction:D

[@1320video]

+Ethan Gee Definitely crazy feeling in a light car that isn't super 'structurally sound' :P

[@a.j.swierzbinski6225]

+1320video I surely so not believe these cars are scrap, but rather historically sound. Maybe you should politely call the little VW "Historically Worn". :)

[@PNSHR]

+Ethan Gee Weight Tuning Rust is lighter than carbon fiber ;)

[@BigMuddyCountry]

if this car is 1400 pounds structurally sound, imagine what it weighs now :p

[@deadinside0586]

We have a lot of Karman Guia and Beetle here in Brazil. Some with 200/300cv in the streets in perfect conditions. This cars are our pride, on the streets and in the drag races.

[@1320video]

This thing is SWEET! You VW guys will love this!

[@OpentheLightAUA92]

awesome

[@A8vscRrabbit]

that thing is sick! .....sounds way better than a subaru

[@pdiddyflyers4eva]

+1320video As a VW guy, thanks for the latest batch of videos!

[@willherbtherealwill8165]

I wanna see it from a dig too with that 2 step

[@elijahmaddox8500]

it sounds so good

[@andrewresczenko1958]

Favorite 1320video of all time

[@1320video]

+Andrew Resczenko Love to hear that! Finding weird cool shit like this, with passionate owners keeps us going :)

[@andrewresczenko1958]

Oh yeah for sure!

[@fahrvergn00gen]

+Andrew Resczenko My exact thoughts hahah.

[@godmegabob]

Fantastic car and the owner seems like a nice genuine guy

[@armandjohnsharp1703]

Love this Karmann Ghia.Beautiful old school charm.And enough power to surprise the most harsh of critics.Damn I wish I was cruising the streets in this old Gal

[@TheDustyaman]

You need more unique cars like this on your channel

[@rlprgp62]

Love the old Ghia!!!The looks like an old "Turbo City" set up. I built 2 of those set ups some 20 years ago, One set up is on a 2110 in a sand rail, that one dynoed 226hp. The other set up was on a 1914 and it spun a rod before we got the bugs worked out. Great to see the old stuff, Get some decent brakes on it. Great Build, Thanks for sharing.

[@DennisMcCracken]

My first car was a rag top '68 puke green Karmann Ghia I bought for $800 is 1976. Loved that car. Sweet build dude. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

[@georgeespinoza6710]

rust has never seen so good on a car

[@Gasinduced]

Love it. Given a new life when it's clearly had a long tough one.

[@mattsmith4322]

I can't even begin to imagine how fun this thing must be to drive. Just driving down the highway banging gears with the motor just screaming at you like "BWAAAAAAAAARGH." Even if it's not blowing minds on the internet with the power it still looks like a blast and I bet it'd haul some tail!

[@drgnzadiel101]

my favorite VW. great upload glad to see them getting some love!

[@robertandrewww]

More of these 1320!! We're not all rich to afford 1500 hp cars

[@keithw372]

that is sweet my 1st car was a 1960 ghia and i still own it today 27 yrs later, thats ia just awesome

[@Luckyjo21]

+keith wilson Nice! Ghia's are amazing cars

[@Frietpan]

cool they let a vw stay in and worked with that instead of just swapping something in.

[@EdwardAlcala]

Nothing like an air cooled motor!

[@jackmagnium6115]

@@EdwardAlcala with a 2 step turbo. that bitch is nasty. I didnt think VW flat engines were that nasty(in a good way)

[@Badger_S197]

If you wanna up it by a tiny notch, get a plate starting in "OS", standing for "Osnabrück", the down it was build in. Else wise, super bad ass ride. Sounds and looks fantastic!

[@there_is_nothing_here]

his friends told him to junk it? He needs some new friends. I love those old Karmann ghias. they look awesome just as they are let alone suspension work and wheels

[@mugshotmarley]

ikr?!? Karmann ghia for $400 in ANY condition is a great deal. Where Im at, junkers, rusted floor pans, no engine/trans goes for over 2k

[@XXARGYLLSXX]

I’m friends with him and trust me it isn’t going anywhere, along with his 12 other Volkswagen

[@RawShogun]

he said fuck a seatbelt this thing barely has brakes haha

[@omalley16]

Sweet ride, glad they left the patina

[@RawShogun]

"tell us what were looking at, what the hell is this thing." i ask myself the same thing every morning lmao

[@calvinsadler5387]

that is such a cool car, awesome when "nothing becomes something"

[@jonathantorres9294]

lmao "Wish it was faster face" he puts on every time he shifts. The facial serious "I Mean Business" expression when flooring it. Brother I can relate with my Svt focus build. I personally like it and respect it. Nice Video. Love that u catch everyone's expressions when they drive. hahahahaaa. much love and respect.... ✌

[@willthacker5182]

I love karmann ghia's especially low lights. This one is super cool.

[@vwclassicsarestorage4526]

This thing bites the dust super quick!!! freaking cool car!

[@A-Wall]

love how they are making it a low light.

[@SurfingFlameDCUO]

Really cool and unique build, that's what we need.

[@Th3unknownuser111]

I had a 1914cc in my 67 for some time... It was scary fast. From a roll it would take a stock subie

[@robertwashburn9230]

nice build. there was one when i was younger in RI that had the Transaxle and engine from a 911 gt3 rs. the 911 was totaled before everything was removed (felt like I needed to say that before someone got mad over ripping a fine gt3 rs apart).

[@leyvaleyva6449]

Loving seeing the diversity in the car scene!

He's wearing a Swastika, lol. Most Ironic comment right here.

[@kavanghia6908]

Great looking ghia! My son and I are working on our 69 Ghia that we saved from the car crusher 👍✌️ Our goal is to get it running and on the road and enjoy driving ✌️

[@BlacklistBuilds]

this car makes me happy; I approve

[@musshwins412]

makes me miss my 66 bug.

[@brandonwalter8532]

It sounds so awesome. Pretty cool little VW.

[@slowvette7189]

thing has mad potential its the only one of its kind

[@apismellifera1000]

this should be in the magazine Hot VW's

[@shaneman20]

Actually had the chance to see this car yesterday. It's much cooler in person.

[@RandomGuy-su7bi]

Awesome! The turbo looks bigger than the engine lol. this thing rips now

[@mylessiglin4134]

+1320video I have raced everything from old Progas cars on the street, to stock cars, this includes VW's too. Glad to see you put a nice honest 200+ hp at the rear tires on here. With a bit of tuning & the right transmission in that car you'd be surprised how quick that Ghia would be 😉 😉. lol Thanks for the post love it and all Air Kewled VW's! ✌️ lol

[@sirswerve2493]

+Myles Siglin yes. Quick.

[@mylessiglin4134]

SIR SWERVE Exactly! ;-)

[@anthonyc8853]

Aircooleds are underestimated! Used to own a type 3 squareback, currently in the market for a karmann or another type 3. My buddy had a 2100cc notchback that would smoke the 05-09 mustangs and the 09-10? I'm camaros when they came out. Cheap to buy build and fix

[@bassmetalheadbang]

She purrs so nicely!

[@mistacoz]

Cool car. A lot of these (of those remaining) get garaged and polished and barely get driven. Good to see one being thrashed on.

[@mikeshaffer4927]

Dude that's freaking badass! 🍺

[@CTmoog]

Wow!! That was sweet!

[@danielkeener5140]

"Its only been together about a month" I THINK WE HAVE A NEW KARMANN GHIA RECORD HERE.

That thing is COOL!!!! Sounds AMAZING too!!!! =0

[@Gageyy]

This car is gorgeous

[@michaelstenhjem8086]

I've always thought the Karmann Ghia were one of the prettiest looking cars ever made.

[@jackmagnium6115]

put some power and they turn into nasty hot rods.

[@stevebarnette]

Sahweet! Great build, great video!

[@midwestpartyfest4005]

badass. love these vids of unique cars

[@mikejensen-fogt4662]

more vids of cars like this!!! it doesn't have to be putting down quadruple digit number to be "cool"... this thing is badass :)

[@StretchakaKickman]

Power to weight ratio makes old school VWs strong

[@nathanyoung3078]

I wanna see one of these with a turbo K20. That thing would RRIIIIPPP!

[@andersonsspeedshop3051]

its been done and it ended badly, its hard to get a transaxle to hold up to that.

[@nathanyoung3078]

+Spencer Hall why not use a stock K-series transaxle like the MR2 guys? Or even a Dog Box, perhaps? Unless that isn't with the space constraints.

[@andersonsspeedshop3051]

a vr6 has been done mid engine like that, its basically 3 cylinders across so it fit, i dont know if a k series would work. this guy did it mounted in the stock location somehow and it ended up not making that much power or something like that, and not as fast as most turbo type 1 vw powered bugs. subaru swap looks like a good one and the rotary swapped bugs look fun. mounting a radiator is difficult

[@mereskimade]

Great little car! It's not perfect but that's why it's so much fun.

[@trollhunter2032]

Awesome build!

[@RuinedHemi]

That guy was photogenic asf

[@jacobm2625]

This thing is probably making almost 300 at the crank, holy cow.

[@Advection357]

Nice camber on the rear wheels bro

[@brandondeel3567]

that's too cool. I'd love to see it freshened up though. I know he was going for the old rusty patina look but this car would be sick with some premium parts on it.

I'm running a 2109 cc, but with megasquirt, meth injection and turbo :D 76x94mm

[@AimlessMoto]

I friggen want one.

And the best thing is it hasn't been LS swapped :D

[@stuad70]

Das is sehr guten fhart. Karmann getz schmee.

[@daftend]

200hp isn't even near the limit of an air cooled VW

[@Burley_Bert]

+daftend The limit? The guy said he built this in 2 weeks. He never claimed anything about limits

sounds really cool

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

+Kodiak212Dozer The trans is geared for a top speed of barely 80 mph.......

[@studid55]

the speedometer was pegged back at 0 so it was doing about 100+ at the end of the pull...

I'd drive it!!!

Where and when did you get that black eye?

[@volksbugly]

What Transmission/clutch do you have?

[@tomlong-ji7vt]

i have a stock 1973 Karmann Ghia -- im looking for a turbo kit - what is the info on this turbo please?

[@WileyMedia]

we have a split bug with a 2270 raby engine. over 200 hp naturally aspirated

[@imissmynut]

What's the red switch on his gearstick for?

[@MrELIAN602]

respect bro

[@Super11SAM11]

Impressive for a small motor (and the fact it has a turbo). I wonder what it would put down in the 1/4 mile

[@m4xwellmurd3r]

with the right tires and gearing itll do low low 12s, maybe high 11s (dad had a 66 bug, 2332 n/a ran a best at 11.96@107mph, estimated 240whp and ran 8in slicks)

[@priscillaboss2656]

pretty cool but it needs more carburator. a single dual barrel doesnt seem like enough idk. im not expert. the horsepower numbers are still impressive. need a holly 4 barrel and more boost and stronger waste gate.

[@keeganholthaus7143]

I wonder what bore and stroke size this is

[@BossHoss01]

That's badass

[@EmmettRacing]

Need more VW’s

[@bwarren228]

Good driver.. not bad at all with the Kung Fu

[@johnnyjjona955]

am I seeing things or is it carbureted with the turbos
