with the support & backing from Team WPVW , Cindy has decided to come drag racing with 'Billi' her 1965 model rat beetle
for those of you who dont know Cindy , she has been a team member of WPVW for the past 4 years . She raced at Warwick in 2009 in a blue 1973 L-bug powered by a 1776 type-1 engine and also in 2010 in a red 1960 Karmann Ghia powered by a 1776cc turbo type-1 engine
this year Cindy plans to run her much loved 'Billi' at Warwick with a new 2332ml turbo injected type-1 engine

I can't wait to get there either, hopefully all the loose ends should be finalised next week, then onto the dyno.
Are you going to run an intake cooling system on this engine and what size turbo?

Man, I want this motor. I love it, well done guys and good luck with it Cindy you lucky girl 😁
Wayne, since you got most of the gear from CB are you using one of their turbos. Also, do you know with the CB turbo exhaust system if it will bolt up with heater boxes or only J pipes.
Thanks and keep us updated, Kev 👍

ben was it a petronix unit and the dizzy locked out sorry for all the questions in a build at the moment and weighing it all up was looking at running the ignition through the microtech has anybody used that option on their vw if so what sort of trigger did you use ive got a 2.1 waser dizzy i want to use through the computer
2442supercharged ·
Yeah it was a petronix with a locked 009 we use the microtech for the ignition I will have to check what trigger we use as I can't remember I know it is a Bosch brand. We use the microtech to control the timing curve

Have a look at Davis drag buggy project... He runs full microtech and a 13b rotary crank trigger sensor.

thanks guys this has been great cheers would like to know the trigger if poss would be a ignition module we are talking about ben
