The blue bug is a super (1303) with EJ20T out of a Subaru Legacy and Porsche 915 trans. The owner tuned it to 280 HP.

What is the tank(clear plastic) in the top right of the engine bay?
Radiator overflow?

rustycamper · 11 Jan 2005, 3:39 pm

That thing would be fun to drive.

subaruboxer · 11 Jan 2005, 5:26 pm

Hi fozee,

yes you are right it is the radiator overflow reservoir of a Rabbit 4.

And here the green bug with EJ 22 again a bit smaller.

humpty · 11 Jan 2005, 11:52 pm

Seems to be a good fit (read: tight!) in the early cars!!!!!

One day....Maybe after the EG33/Bus project! :thumb

subaruboxer · 1 Feb 2005, 5:29 am

And here a bug that is said to be build by remmele in South Germany, EJ 20 T , with big modifications. And interesting muffler.

MikeM · 1 Feb 2005, 8:28 am

This was my question to, plus how are they running their pipe work to avoid the steering / suspension arms in the super beetles (especially the steering box style 1302)

Cheers

Jak took his straight to the his muffler friend who put it on the hoist and ran pipe inderneath from the radiator straight to the motor, bends and all. Mine uses flexible stainless hose that runs inside the arch bolted to the body(rubber mounts). Just inside the running boards I too have hard pipe,the flexible is at either end.

Ummm - Drag bug, it's got something to do with the name at the top of the page "Non VW Engine Conversions" repeat NON VW.
Either you're being sarcastic or you're on the wrong part of the site.
All said in the nicest possible way of course.

Brad · 1 Feb 2005, 7:50 pm

hey dragbug you wanna build me a 140 HP VW engine for under $5000 ???:kiss

dragbug · 1 Feb 2005, 7:54 pm

Let me know when you want me to start.

subaruboxer · 21 Sep 2005, 5:01 am

My latest find it is the project car of Martin Bott, yes the man behind bugat5speed.de in Germany.
Looks really good!

subaruboxer · 21 Sep 2005, 5:10 am

With all his special parts, like his header his oilsump and Porsche trans and shifter for the Prosch trans. Nice car isn't it? Reminds me of Jak Rizzo's ej20t powered bug, but this is an ej 22.

subaruboxer: would you be able to scan pics of the EJ20t powered bug in the latest issue of VW Speed?
Rich

subaruboxer · 21 Sep 2005, 6:39 am

Hi Rich,

yes I can do that for you. It is the same super bug you see up here, the blue one. I took a few pics at a meeting last year, will check it tomorrow.

YIOughta · 21 Sep 2005, 4:01 pm

good stuff!! would you happen to have any pics of subi powered busses - specifically splits!? 🙂
The few that ive seen are heavily modified units.

Cheers

Sorry, no busses overhere with subyengine, at least I haven't seen one.

Hi Subaruboxer,
thanks for putting my car on the forum. The engine is looking a little better in the meantime. The picture was only from the phase of building.
The other one with the Turbo is my colleague´s car.
He is doing the most Turbo-conversions here in Germany.
The Ovali ("Uncle Ben´s") is only 30 km from here. He´s driving one of my sumps (not to be seen on these pictures). He also owns a Buggy with a Subi (also with the sump) in the meantime. Haven´t got pictures of it.

What concerns busses I can tell you that a lot of T3-owners have called me in the last months and at least one project with a 2.2 is in work at the fellow with the Turbo Bug. Subaru is getting more and more interesting to Bug-drivers, but to Bus-drivers also.
As soon as I have a first picture I will post it or get it posted (as I do alway have problems with it).
Cheers Martin

subaruboxer · 24 Sep 2005, 4:02 am

Hi Martin,

if you want to post pictures here, they have to be smaller than 50 kb. Maybe you have some pics you would like to share with us here. There are more conversions done in your area than up here in the north.
