Is this related to "aircooled" drag cars
or can it be street based drag cars which are both "air" & "watercooled" cars too?
Bugger it, I'll put my POS in here

Great work!! All welcome IMHO, the post is titled "VW Drag Cars' so your in!
Big fan of the stocker look. I am sure you upset a lot of people on the street (and strip). Keep us posted with the new combo.
Cheers
Tom

Heres some vids I've done when it was first going & then testing the MSD 2-Step on the old stock setup & then some more with the new
setup.
The new setup vids are black & white.
As its no longer my daily (which has been replaced with a 520+hp Holden Ute) I wound the mixtures up pig rich, threw some more boost at it along with
some timing & it can turn the tyres shifting into 3rd on dry hotmix! Has turned the tyres past 100 on several occasions now too!
I know they are only 165's, but who give a s%$t, Wheel spin in the dry at 100 is still wheel spin! Especially in the 1976 FWD VW!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbtNnc_GwSw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v1IHSWwRuI
The K-Jet mods are basically sourcing & testing all sorts of different components from all sorts of Euro cars, both NA & FI, using different
sorts of Warm up regs, playing with the System pressures, adding in extra staged injectors (cold start valves, as I wanted it to be full K-Jet &
not EFI controlled extra injectors).
Then playing with different sorts of timing retard components. eg. like reversing the vac advance on the dizzy to run at full advance at idle & as
soon as you sniff the throttle it pulls timing out of it.
Thats how I had it when it was running 10psi & had no dramas.
Now it runs a MSD 6BTM (boost retard) setup. I should really get a new MSD 6AL2 digital & have total control over the timing advance & retard,
but I'd rather save the money for the next engine, which will be a properly built engine with top notch components & much much bigger turbo,
instead of this slap together "garage hone", re-ringer engine! You should see how much play is in the piston-bore clearance & even the valve
guide clearance!!!!
Buts its lasted so far & hasn't put a foot (or leg out of bed!) wrong yet!
Would like to get it to Heathcote on the 30th to test the new setup before Portland, but I don't think I'll risk it with only a few weeks to go.
Can't be stuffed having to rebuild another car in a short amount of time.
Hope you enjoy the vids

If you feel like a long read with plenty of info & heaps of pics.....
Here's my complete turbo build thread from the original turbo setup, to the engine rebuilt & new T3/4 setup with all the tuning, testing &
breaking stuff along the way.
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4518476-K-Jet-turbo-setup
Its all been built, rebuilt (incl. head/manifold porting etc) & tuned at home by myself with alittle bit of help from some friends.
The only things not built in house were a couple of the braided fuel lines for the extra injectors & the exhaust from the dump pipe back. Also had
the cyl. head resurfaced too.

Bernie is the man. Andrew Ermel had a contact for him but has since lost it, possibly Rod Penrose may have something.

Bernie got the nickname " Sanchez " because of some of his antics when we were all in Mexico in 09. Sanchez is a FIFO fitter in the top of WA and
has put the car on hold for a while. Last time I spoke to him he had everything need to get the car going- but he needed professional help.
