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

vwrallycar - July 14th, 2003 at 02:37 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

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

pyr0 - July 14th, 2003 at 06:53 PM

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

jboy82 - July 14th, 2003 at 06:55 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

vwrallycar - July 14th, 2003 at 07:56 PM

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
