Ok ive just bought a 72 notch, dont even have it yet. Its coming up from sydney. And ive been reading here and on shop talk for a while. Sounds like if your serious about reliable big power you need a shit load of cash (relative) and a g50 box.
I spose i have a few questions.
Firstly the g50 box. Are they all the same ratio's
rDont realy need one that does 190mph !
THe Notchback
Which would be the better daily driver h6, ej20t, ej25t.
Turbo lag? To much/not enough Power?
Are there any advantages in the Notch of having a flat motor over a v6 being that it could be messy anyway.Thats going on one ej20t notch conversion pic i saw.Obviously there are plenty of cheaper v6's around.
I might just go through with it in some form or another. Its been a few years since ive owned a type 3 so i'll see how hard the bug bites this time around. If i do decide it will be soon. This is the kind of car Noddy would drive. Mabe Noddy's a wolf in sheeps clothing. 🤘
Thanks All

h6 very good motor , I have one
ej20t yes best bang for your $
ej25t yes with a VF34 this would be a killa
have done one over here MONSTER

having just clocked 6500kms in ej20t powered 68 squareback as a work car, I would seriously think about doing this conversion , it added about 100kg to overall weight of the car and cost me about 6500 to do the conversion including engineering.
riverrat13 ·
Klaus it sounds good along with the price. How does it drive. What gear box are you running. Any anoying turbo lag?. Hows the sound? Has it got enough grunt 4 you? What did you get enginered?
hehe got to ask these questions
Im kinda leaning towards the EZ30r being that its probably more the refined motor, beter for every day use. What do you rekon?
Still waiting on her to arive
Thanks for the input everyone
please all give YOUR opinion
THanks Rich

The H6 motor would be a big deal for little gain .I have a H6 & there is nothing ( no power above 4500rpm then you have every thing on your plate in one hit .If the car was not 4x4 it would not stay on the road .
you would be better with a 2.5 motor from a bug eye the other 2.5 ltrs are still having issues with the head gaskets .
The 2.5 ltr pull like a 16 year old boy on heat !
Go & drive a 2.5 ltr subaru manual with a 4.444 gear box & report back here .
at the same time drive a H6 & do the same there only autos so drive it through the gears
I love all the power in the world * but * you can not over look the 2.5 ltr quad cam for a every day driver .
If you dont want the turbo lag , dont get a big turbo ! The VF10 comes on around 2200rpm & the TDO4 lower 2000 there abouts .
A stock WRX JDM auto has a TD04 but with a 4.111 drive line & the hatch back JDM manual has a TD04 ( bigger car ) still with a 4.111 drive
WRX auto turbo motors are around $2300.00 with loom & ecu .
klaus , did you take the V foce guys for a spin ? did hear some storys going around in the west mate .

if I may make a suggestion...and it depends what your engineer says, but I did some maths last year and the 4l lexus V8 should be legal in a late type 3. 🤓
the new higher capacity to weight limit (now national) makes it ok. it would be almost cheaper and smoother than either an EJ20t or an H6, and a heap stronger motor. The 3.8 holden motor and the 380 mitsu motor are also both legal. the question is always gearbox though. but then if you are heading towards a g50 with tall gearing, a torquey V8 is going to be great behind it anyway. the only drama will be weight distribution, but then you can always move the drive train forward a few inches and shift the battery and a few other things into the front of the car.
I'm trying to con a mate of mine to go the holden V6 in his late notch, should be tops if he stops stalling and does it. 👍

Hi
I have a JDM G50 for my bug, its the same box that the VWRX runs. The ratios aren't that bad, I did this chart to compare stock 1303 (L bug) ratios and the G50 at 6000 rpm shift point with a 25.315 inch tyre (235/45x17).
A modified stock VW box will live with higher output motor, it all depends on the nut behind the wheel.
Pete, are the new laws in yet? I cant find any reference to them on the NSW RTA site.
Steve
pete wood ·
mmmm, they came out last year, so I can't see why not. I've notive the RTA tends to leave lots of useful things off the site. either that, or they are buried in bulletins and you can't find them easily. I'll have to ask my mate the engineer.
riverrat13 ·
THanks for the input fellas, keep it coming!
V8 would be insane, I should check the dimentions although like you said the weight and distribution......... , Wouldn't say it's overkill though. It would be good for towing and blowing away most things.
Steve they seem good ratios.
looks like at the moment the ej25t is the most sensible option for the notch. Its tried and tested as they say and as you say Seagull.
I've got a lot of home work to do on this now but im gonna ask some anoying questions anyway 🙂
Firstly which ej25t? where can i get one? Should i build my own from an n.a. short block ?
What do i need to mate the motor and g50box? Anyone got one 4 sale?
What other questions should i be asking?
My budget is capable but no not exbendible.
Im in the process of attaining metal fab tools, not purely for the notch alone but other aswell. That will help.

Seagull I'm meang the ej25t motor itself is tried and tested for power not the conversion itself. And your right you didnt recomend the turbo. I do talk shit sometimes. THe computer screen does things to my brain. I'll give you a call mate. Guess i could start off n.a. and go from there but hmmm. The 2.5 is a big can of worms in itself. Just been reading a few forums and they're getting seriously BIG numbers from the 2.5 turbo's.
Rich

the 2.5litre turbo would cost significantly more to purchase than the 2litre turbo which is why the 2litre turbo is such a good base.
can still get large power from a 2litre turbo....300rwhp not enough for ya? hahahah

Hi Pete
I spent about 1/2 hour searching the RTA website all I found where the old regs, maybe they don't want to tell anyone about them. From memory the new wheel size limitations sucked.

Anthony 300whp is nothing mate!
WhooooWhaaaaaaHaahaahaahaaa!
Just kiddin but the low down torque of the 2.5 may be the better every day driver depending on how you set it up. Theres tons of information on the n.a.'s and ej25t's ive just got to sift through it all but please keep all your opinions comin 🙂
THere should be another thread "ej20t vs ej22t vs ej25t vs ez30r vs ej20,22,25 n.a."

I'm interested in how type threes will perform with all this power . How much is to much.Theyre certantly light up front. V8 would be alittle heavy wouldn't it? or is it all in how you set the car up?
sti ej257 blocks brand new $3900 and to finnish it probably ten.

Havent sourced g50 yet
porsche manage a 40/60 weight split in 911s with 3.8 litres 6s. And that's with a shorter wheelbase than a notch. If you think hard and be deliberate, you should be able to get that out of the notch with the V8 in it. I guess it would mean things like fibreglass rear fender and boot, moving the battery up front, moving the engine and tranny forward. Having anything at the rear of the car constructed with lightness in mind.
1916 ·
those 1uzfe's are all alloy blocks anyway arent they?
fairly light for what they are
riverrat13 ·
Takhoal nice link mate.
Like the idea of fibreglass fenders on the rear, especially if theyre wider, allowing a wider track.Dunno if thats leagl. The front would be a must aswell. I've been thinking there are a bolt on wheel arches like the torana slr5000, land rover defender, others?
But seriously a 2.5 sti block has got way enough power potential mabe not as smooth and predictable as a six or eight ,It would Retainin use of the boot, have less weight keeping the car more nimble.
How do you guy's rekon the notch would go as a semi off road orientated kit, with the flared guards i mentioned alowing for bigger fatter 4x4 tyres, bull bar, side steps, spotlights and because of the weight of the bullbar why NOT? slap in the 1uzfe for good measure. Perfect balance! I do live on a dirt road and my cars are always muddy!
The confusion persits but Confucious say....... Confusion, Confer and yea shall Concive.
SHUT UP

Dudes, for the first time went an drove The Notchess today. First she wouldnt start, after looking on the passager seat. there was a note " turn on ignition, at the same time toggle switch behind drivers side. She works After 15 minute i found the switch, buried in the vertical carpet out side the baterrycompartment
The outer body/paint is in superb nick. She goes well and first impression, very nicely for stock. Still got numberplates from nsw so no need to get permit/insurance at $100 to get it home. Gamble. Interiors CRAP and so is the dash but the underpinnings excelent in that there is no rust anywhere. Took it for a drive round the block (she's at the truck yard still} and what a trippy but short drive. Im 6ft and i felt high in the cock pitand close to the windscreen( good vision), The sports sterring whell gave an unussual fell , the motor pulled adequatley, but crickey this is like no other car ever built, must be the motor in the back, the riding position, i cant explain but memorys or not of This car put's a grin in yar body. It does!

I'll think about the rest tomorrow.

Yeah seagull i looked at Steves page today. Thats a swingarm isn"t it? Iwouldnt know > Just i couldnt match steve's photos too the irs under the notch today.
By the way way steve i found your bug site and pics by googleing "vw g50 torsion bar". Good one mate!.Your paving the the way for the future generation of vwcakes. What is it irs or swing arm?
I kinda got scared whiler talking to John Sherman (top bloke and a wealth of information) about the g50 conversion and its complexities. The g50 conversion alone could easily swallow 12k against $4000 i was quoted today for 2l kombi box, rebuilt with albin..? gears from leons motors. I'll hold back on the gearbox no with a little patience i think.
shermans got good bits too like kits allowing stud pattern for different mags and he can make up a kit for g50. Thanks seagull.
So it is ok to butcher the center of the irs torsion bar where the front of the gearbox is mounted? Thus allowing for extra room. I,ve got to get a camera.

Heres a link to a g50 bug conversion although i cant make sense of the photos.
Lets see photos of your work before you call me a butcher.
Its IRS, I'm using swing axle (40hp/1500) length torsion bars which are shorter, this allows the gearbox to move forward into the area where the original torsion bars were anchored.
Steve

Sorry man stupid choice of words no offence whats so ever. What i meant to say was i couldnt recognise that pic where u had cut heaps out of the center to what i looked at under my notch. Definitley could have thought about what i was writing more. I'd still call it butchering but only because so much has to be cut out of it. Not anyones particular work.
Like i said your making it easier for the rest of us and i totaly apriciate it.

Over here in Perth Luke is fitting a kombi 2ltr box with those gears & a berg center ( converting to a bug nose cone ) he has also a berg trans mounting kit .
The gear box adapter plate & fly wheel is one of mine with few custom bits thrown in .
you will find a gear box like this will save you a lot of time as it then becomes a direct fit
Steve has many years of building under his belt & knows his shit when it comes to these gear boxes , he has blown them up !
at the end of the day if you can get a G50 for 5K buy it !
1303Steve ·
Hi Rich
No offence taken mate, just bad choice of words.
The IRS torsion bars almost meet in the middle of the pan, so the swinger ones I'm using are shorter because swingers use a flat style spring plate, the IRS use a spring plate where the torsion bar protrudes past the spring plate and into the area in front of the rear wheel. So I have moved the splines for the torsion bars further out in the torsion bar tubes.
A guy named Russ Fellows in the UK has a G50 in bug, he didn't move anything forward to far so his motor would hang back further than mine.
Steve
ricola ·
Steve,
Have you seen pics of Russ's bug? He was running a 915 for quite a long time and has only just got a G50, I didn't know he had got anywhere with fitting it...
As for fitting the G50, I bought one for my project but unfortunately had to sell it in the end and am carrying on with an AT trans. I was using a type 1 adapter kit with longer studs and it bolted together fine, the flywheel could be modified by having the teeth turned off and a 911 bolt on ring gear fittting, then use a 928 friction disc as this has the correct splines and 200mm diameter for the flywheel. All that remains after that is using a saab style hydraulic release bearing.

The motor will be easliy capable of 450+hp and the g50 aswell. But is that too much. That means a quaife lsd too. Hows the poor little notch gonna handle it?

B4 you cut up your torsion housing I would do some measuring.... My bro fitted an EJ20T (IRS TI box) to his Notch 12 years ago and there is loads of room at the back of the engine bay.... You may be able to fit the G50/EJ25 without cutting up the housing.....
Measure twice, cut once....

Check the legislation in your state.... I don't have (but I will) to run cats on my EG33 powered 1985 Transporter..... But it does harm the planet...

What stage is the EG33 powered bus at?
Cheers,

I contacted Berg in the Us and they only do the conversion to type 2 irs for the 002 box not the 091. Does anyone do the 091?
Is the 002 as strong as the 091 if their both built boxes. Does it just come down to the strength of the case?
They wont have the 002 kits for a couple of months.
915 box in beetle with porsche 944 torsion tubes
getting around RTA laws and wheel sizes
use 944 irs arms with porsche drive axles wheel track to comply with porsche and wheels sizes and load
shorter torsion bars 26"
this would work in a notch
the gearbox moved back 100mm.

I might be wrong, but as I understand it, the extra strength with an 091 is in the diff and the gears. The diff and side bearings swap straight into a 002 1800 box I've been told. I'm a bit surprised that bergs don't do one that hooks up to an 091 box though. Jeff Unwin (Helbug fame) was raving about 091s into bugs with Berg nosecones years ago. He knew berg's catalog inside out at the time.
