sorry im a bit slack with pics, but my green beetle with a mild 69x94 with a small t28 on low boost ran a 11.89 (street tyres)was a great setup you could drive like a stocker with good mid range power, i only put it together as a steet car but it ran well on the track aswell
the new car should be a bit quicker, but is probably 12 months away from the track as i have a few other projects to finish
keith hauslers turbo car is also going to be a real weapon

I'll post them for you Adam!
Dragbug! It will all go good for a while and then n hold again for a bit until I sort some other stuff out, all turbo manifolds and intercooling gest done in a few weeks but I think the project is still a while from being finished (paint + interior + and the wheels) but it is slowely coming together.
Hoping to have it at Volksfest rolling with motor in back.

Wow engine bay looks nice and neat. Is it an optical illusion or do those front wheels have heaps of negative camber?

You know what they say about guys with big turbos don't you?
debiasi4 ·
yeah the car is set up with negative camber along with stiff konis and adjustable sway bars etc.
usally has 17x7.5 rims with circuit tyres on aswell, i really like going around corners fast more than in a
straight line.
So dragbug your car must be ready to roll , its been on the go for aslong as i can remember
what turbo setup are you using, post some pics
adam
dragbug ·
Not that ready yet adam.
Bought another house so puttn a little cash into that aswell.
Gettn close though!
Set up is non EFI.
Cant be arsed fukn around with computers.
I know they are easily tuned "apparently" but nothing beats the sound of a 48.

This is my streeter with a 2233cc in early 2004.
It made 240 kw @ the wheels on 18 psi.
After being VERY unstable trying to go straight a few mods were done to the rear end.

There was a very nice type 3 fasty at Action day 2 years ago with highly polished turbo set up that was almost completed and ready to run....haven't seen it since...anybody remember it or know what happened to it....may have been red but not sure.
Turbo54 ·
Look in dragracing forum, maybe that one?
Chasing sub 12's fastback?
Boostn ·
A few pics of those rear end mods.
The new engine package and manifolds made 290 kw @
the wheels on 26psi.
But I am building up a fresh 2332 race engine so I can put the street engine into another car.
Would people be interested in a build up post?
dangerous ·
Hell Yeah!
Bring it on Dude!
Craig Paton ·
S*$@ Yeah!!
58bbugger ·
the guy with that sick looking fastback wanting to run 12s should post his pics here !
kroozzn63 ·
man that last pic looks like an intestanal shot from E.R.
how awesome is that setup is it road legal?
kroozzn63 ·
anyone got any ideas on an engine package for my ute ,must be reiable good torque
for example i love to take of fast pull up hills hard but i dont thrash her or over rev her , should i supercharge a 1776 or turbo?
tassupervee ·
Either.
A quality build on a stock 1600 will be just fine.
Be prepared to spen spend spend! Neither of these changes are going to be done cheaply.
Its the nature of the best.
Good luck.
