Turbo VW Beetle Engine - Will it fit? | JW Classic VW

[@JWClassicVW]

Hey everyone things are getting exciting now!! The new engine is in for the 1st time and man does it feel good. Almost a full year since my baby has seen the road and I've been able to cruise the streets. Getting closer everyday now! Thanks for being here and supporting the journey!

[@Mikefngarage]

Pretty soon there will be a whole new meaning to GOOSE-ING IT.......

[@VWJawbreaker]

Getting so much closer now!

[@JWClassicVW]

It is moving brother!! Getting closer everyday, need to get my baby back on the road!

Goose and the General 2.Goooooo! Amazing job Jason

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks so much Mark, glad you enjoyed the video!

Such a sweet engine. Turbo should be called the president.

[@JWClassicVW]

lol.... El Presidente!! lol

[@charliemessenger6537]

Yay, I actually won!!! Thanks Jason!! The motor is looking pretty damn sweet sitting in there. A awful lot of work there. Can't believe its been a year now. If it wasn't for pesky things like work and family responsibilities just think how much we could get accomplished. Waiting patiently for the Big Day!

[@JWClassicVW]

So much work man.... looking back through all the vids and photos is crazy. Can't wait to get her back on the street!! Congrats on the Calendar!

What an engine, that thing is gonna rip. Well, dontcha think goose needs her gander, I vote for "The Gander" engine.

[@JWClassicVW]

Lol.. Gander never heard of that!! Thanks for the support brother!

[@1fastbuggy502]

Just cam back from vacation Jason . Just spent all morning catching up on your videos. BUMMER I missed your " CALENDER" draw . Gray Goose looks dope.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks man! I want a vacation, need a long cruise with my baby once she is back on the road!! So ready!

[@danieldavis9314]

Goose is going to be hella fast. You have done a most excellent job.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thank you so much!! Lots of work and worth all of it!

[@joerullan7271]

Jason, The amount of technology your putting into your pride and joy is amazing!! Can't wait to hear her run. As for the name, I would name her after Goose's cousin The Roadrunner! Meep! Meep!

[@JWClassicVW]

The Roadrunner... lol maybe!! Thanks for the support brother appreciate ya!

[@kavanghia6908]

I like that you use the bible ( idiot guide)! 👍My son and I have a 69 ghia that we saved from be😂in crushed. Hopefully will be working on it soon. Try to find a garage to store it and be able to get her going. See ya on the road!👍✌️

[@JWClassicVW]

Yes and Yesssssss lol

[@fairlaneclubofamerica6498]

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks so much!!! Lots of love to the Darrell Howard the engineer behind this design! Love it!! Super excited about the 1st start up!

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Always keep a spare belt with you........Looking good man !!!!!!!!!!!

[@JWClassicVW]

Definitely going to have a spare or two... lol 😆 Thanks for the support brother!

[@dillyd3488]

Looks awesome! More complex than a N/A build with big dual carbs...But it seems to free up space in the engine compartment making it easier to maintain. That thing's gonna scream!

[@JWClassicVW]

Yes sir she is gonna FLY!! thanks for the support man!! Really appreciate it!

[@MrNightraider]

Beautiful engine build Jason! I love the gloss paint of your fiberglass shroud! It goes along with the rest of the engine!

[@JWClassicVW]

Gloss black will probably be the way!! It's way easier to clean too!

[@martinharris5017]

Amazing engine. Can't wait to hear it running and see the first drive! I would call that engine The Terminator! Came here straight from watching Duckman getting Eleanore home. Would LOVE to see you two get together with your VWs one day.

[@JWClassicVW]

Wouldn't that be sooooo cool That would be a beautiful site to see, our two babies hanging out! Thanks for all the love Martin, I really appreciate man!

[@andrigtmiller]

I started using PTFE coated AN lines for my fuel system, and I put them in the tunnel. I used bulkhead fittings on the front and back. In the front, it's fairly easy to add the bulkhead fittings, but you have to make sure they don't get in the way of removing the shift rod out the front. On the rear, I like to put the bulkhead fittings underneath the shift coupler where the tunnel raises up. I can actually reach those fittings with wrenches and everything even with the shift rod in place. They end up high enough that they are not exposed. This way, if you bottom the car out, or hit a rock or something, you don't hit your fuel lines or fittings. I'm always concerned about that kind of thing, plus I like to use the channel you put the fuel lines in, to put chassis stiffeners in. This is not a criticism, as your build is really nice, just the way I like to do things.

[@JWClassicVW]

I thought about the tunnel as well but really like the way I ran it. I may do the tunnel with a future build.

[@masbeetleboy9169]

Darn, well I hope to win in the next drawing. Anyway, the motor is looking really good, and I look forward to seeing Goose back on the road again.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks man, she is coming along, one step at a time! Appreciate the support!

[@trevorgonzales7351]

Beautiful engine. I would love to do this to my chopped 74. I am sure you know, but be careful with getting oil on the turbo cover. It can cause a huge fire.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks for the warning man... appreciate the support!

Great video jay , looking forward to that first start up 👍 boosted goose !👌💪🏻

[@JWClassicVW]

Boosted Goose!! Love it man! I'm so ready for the first drive!

[@mandytuning]

What turbo size you install?

[@williamhenk1030]

Have you got any plans for getting cooler air to the air filter?

[@JWClassicVW]

Nope not really as with any carb in the engine area fresh air will be received through the normal vents.

[@scottalvey1787]

How about General 5.0, as a 5 star General. It’s the highest general position in the military.

[@JWClassicVW]

That's pretty good General 5.0.... lol, appreciate the love Scott!

[@andrigtmiller]

I've seen a lot of different intercooler placements for these turbo engines, but they always make me wonder if they work very well, because of two things. How is airflow going to get through it, and secondarily, it seems like whatever airflow went through the intercooler, is going to be sucked right into the cooling system having considerably heated air coming into the cooling system, instead of ambient air temperatures. It seems like you would have problems driving these cars for any distance without overheating problems, but there are enough people doing similar things that it makes me wonder. I love to hear your results in terms of intake air temps, and cylinder head temps when you drive this over a long distance/period of time.

[@JWClassicVW]

Yup definitely going to be providing some good testing!! I'm also very curious.

[@andrigtmiller]

@@JWClassicVW Great. Looking forward to hearing your results.

[@chevplane]

Looks great! I am interested to see how your IAT's go with the air/air intercooler in the engine bay. I am currently running and air/water intercooler but would love to simplify the system and remove some weight if it works well.

[@JWClassicVW]

Yup, there are so many factors to consider with the intercooler and how well it works. I'm definitely curious as well to how it performs over a long trip or driving around town for a couple hours.

[@midwestron8576]

Nice pressure covers over the intake manifolds. Anyone recognize them? Know where to get them?

[@JWClassicVW]

These are custom made by my buddy Darrell Howard. He makes a run every now and then of them I believe. You can reach him through his FB Group facebook.com/groups/407118886299355/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

If you're loaded cated in California are you going to go to the Madera Spring Fling?

[@JWClassicVW]

Not in Cali brother I'm in Texas! But wish we had the VW seen that you guys do!

[@NevadaNorcal]

Question: How are you getting the engine on and off the engine stand? I work by myself in the garage and have limited room. Just wondering how you are doing it. Thanks.

[@JWClassicVW]

The Transmission jack I'm using lifts high enough... it is a balancing act but does work.

[@phoenixpowell6369]

Anybody have a very ruff estimate too rebuild an engine too this state?

[@JWClassicVW]

Total custom build... I worked with a close friend and picked up the motor and trans for a killer deal. My rough guess for just the transmission and motor with the same internals and custom turbo bits would be around 35k. There are builders out there that can build a turbo motor similar to this without an intercooler for around 22-25k. This doesn't include the ECU and the 100s of hrs. spent building out the suspension, fuel system and other custom mods.

[@mchkurtacollection2317]

Price this engine

[@JWClassicVW]

I'll be doing a price breakdown in a later video.
