yes it is hard to get 3--400hp out of a 40 horse motor.
youll have to check out post on members rides too.as well as this one.

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲

You will find all you need in the section so just ask or look above in the search tab .

There has been many bugs fitted with subaru EJ18 EJ20 EJ20G EJ22 , to date Subaru would be the most used motor swap into Vw. It up to you what your looking for in a VW , some like bugs , other a bus or a wagon . Me I like the Notch back , all are cool rides & even better to see the reborn with a new power plant in the rear.

An Ej20 G ( turbo motor ) can be purchased around $1500.00 c/w Harness & ecu . A stock single side gear box will last but if you do skids it will fail after some time, up grades can be purchased.

Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake

A couple of questions first - don't take these the wrong way 🙂

Do you know how much a beetle weighs?

What cars do your mates drive, what are you hoping to keep up with?

Are you less than 20 years old?
