Just bought 56? splity for my new race car.
This will be a slow build as you would expect, and thinking of starting n/a 20b, yep my current trusty bridge port minus the turbo, but running on alcohol.
Time to bring out the old 091 4speed box, not the best ratios but should be up to the task because this set up won't have much power using the original plenum and throttle body. Should be loads of fun having a purpose built drag car insted of a street/race car.
I'm still racing in Thomas at warwick this year but using pump fuel, and 7-10 pounds of boost.😢
Hear are some pic's, from to day, can't wait to get it home to start working on it. 😀

Hi Al, it's only fare to finish the type 3, as i already have a vw or two that go. The splitty can wait a little, but still have to start to plan the drive line, roll cage, ect. (wheels, stearing wheel,,,,yeah everything)🤪
I'm thinking 2010

Aaron, looks the goods, with the weight difference between the bay and the split the n/a 20b should still go pretty well but still cant wait to see the finished project when it turbo and a nice 800hp, should make a interesting ride!!Make sure becks t3 is ready for warwick, the grudge run is on!!
BEING ASPIRATED FEELS GREAT BUT BEING BLOWN TAKES THING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....
Are you going the whole hog and tubbing the rear for some big slicks and dumps it on its guts ... whatever you do I am sure it will be an excellent result 😎
LIFE IN THE LOW LANEAll people have the right to stupidity but some abuse the pr
Finally got the bus home to meet the vw family,
As usual it needs more work than i first thought, thats ok, I'm still excited. I think the youre right , the rear end will be the largest amount of work. I have about 4 designes that im working on. The motor and box will have to be able to be removed seperatly, but still will be tied in to the rollcage as well as the torsion beam. Thinking coilovers insted of previous air bags so i can adjust the spring rate. Dangerous has a pare of 28 x 9 slicks that i may use which should fit under the guards.
Picking up a 68 front end and the old box and axels tommorrow. Only the front end will be used with a disk brake up grade. Rear will have disks to.
The mazda 'sheriff' has run 9.4s on alcahol, but is a p/p and has aftermarket plenum and a single 3.5 - 4 inch throttle, making around 400rwhp. I will port the 20b manifold in this engine, un like the current 20b turbo that i left stock.
There is heaps of alloy that can be removed from the upper and lower manifolds, Ive done this with my old 13bt setup.
I guess that it slould make around 300hp
Brennden, we should swich buses then your young bus may have a chance,,,, 'big fella'😂😂
Hay Troy, Bec said bring it on!!!!
Thanks for the positive feed back guys, being non vw powerd and all, as you are all such vw enthusiasts.😀

JMOBFC!!!!!! nice. A year at mazda wasn't a complete waste for me then 🙂
Id love a rotary beetle... or... an sa22c. too expensive for me. one day though... 🙂 I really respect what you do, its awesome
Gee... thanks Daimo, I would have to say the same for you, and as for the nuts, well,, somethings got to hold the front of the kombi down.😂
Jason, I have a bouble block 4 car gararge and a 2 bay car port still not enough roofing.
I'm a cabinetmaker by trade, motor homes, 40-60ft cruisers, house hold cabinets and owned a shop for 2 years. I'm self taught for all automotive stuff (and spelling). I've worked at mazfix for 9 months but didn't lern anything new apart from sales. Still doing other engine convertions and rotary rebuilds from home. Also do courier driving.
Why not join the dark side, and make make what you want?
The splittie better be kudos, after all the work i'll do.😀

a 20b is a bug would be INSANE. and scary as anything. look forward to meeting you at warwick this year Aaron. I Took some photos of the black bay last year I think. 🙂
Great stuff Aaron. Will look forward to this build up. Hopefully you'll stay with the same colour scheme.
I must admit your bus has made me look at rotors differently.
I even let Ben bring his over now....although it has to stay out of the yard....small steps..😁
Sorry readers, I'm not alowed to spend much time or money on the bus until i've finished bec's type3 and done some more on the house renovations. So I laid tiles for two days and worked on the type3. Still working on my brothers 78 bay , EJ20 convertion, 2L auto ect.
I'll have to sort all running gear, tyre hight, body hight, wheel track front and rear, engine/box position, fuel tank position, rollcage, suspension location, all has to be done befor i start work. I don't want to redo much on this on this bus, unlike the last one. Want to plan for future upgrades, if posible.
I love different ideas so don't be afraid to post them up.
Thats a very tough looking bus alan. One of the best i've seen, pity it's not for the drags.
Thinking of mat green and mat cream on top, stock front rims cream, a bit retro, mabe???
Stanley, glad to see your comming around. Hows your son's kombi going? Send him round and we'll bolt on what's missing😂 I'll have to see his set up, and go for a spin.

I'd like to think that a later upgrade might even include a blown big block Rodeck ... I'd like to see a 7sec pass out of a splittie.
You can't have too much speed!
7's are still posible with a rotary, but that's to fast for me. Only looking for high 10's to start then someware around 9's later. Shame on you!, v8?? rotary😍
