is there a ball park figure on what kind of horses its will produce ??

vwrallycar · 14 Jul 2003, 2:37 pm

its a 1.8 GTI motor fuel injected of course.
these motors produce 110 hp stock.
it will be running a haltech aftermarket computer, no plans on modifying the motor yet bet will see how it performs 1st

looks great, u shure u will get enough air flo though?

frog · 14 Jul 2003, 6:46 pm

Glad it went to good use,should go like a rocket!.Has anyone done what you're doing before?

pyr0 · 14 Jul 2003, 6:53 pm

airflow could be a problem altho the thermo fan looks like she'll do the trick

jboy82 · 14 Jul 2003, 6:55 pm

Airflow will probably not be a problem, have you seen the vent sizes on some new cars? very small indeed.
Congrats on keeping VW

yeah i will cut the bonnet and mesh it like i have seen on other watercooled beetles, so i hope it works.
i have to make the ducting for the air between the radiator and the fuel tank yet, and cut some more body away
