would this be a good idea to hurt an Italian exotic at the red lights? I have heard both good and bad things on using nitrious on subary boxers, maybe this trhead will clear things up.
Most Italian exotics aren't renowned for the off the lights performance, they don't get going till they have hit 3K onthe tacho. After this it is
hold on. No nitrous or forced induction is usually required with the Italian car. Don't try to play with them in the mid to upper range, they will
hurt you.....Discalaimer of Alfa V6 driver who owns a bug too. Very different animals, use the Beetle for cruising.......Alfa for fanging.
ps...Yes, it is red. What other colour is there for an Alfa?

Further thoughts.......
Why is Nitrious needed on a dub?
Isn't a Turbocharged WRX motor putting out more than adequate power with 98OCt fuel for street racing applications.
Isn't the point of a Turbo "If it isn't fast enough, turn up the boost some more"?
I cannot comment yet about my cars performance given the gremlins, but if humpty's notch is doing high 12's with a stock donk and a Diablo does
12.9. Jak is short shifting and looking at the girls on the side of the road as he destroys new 5.7 commodores (with 1/2 throttle).
I do not think you would have time to push the button between changes....especially with the little goodies you seem to be gathering to put on the
motor...what ecu and turbo are you running?
Matt
we will see if marks notch does a 12 second pass , its not come up aganst my toyota yet .:thumb
Your corolla doing 11's doesnt stop the other car doing 12's....unless of course he is watchig you too much.
Matt:vader
Adam's 2 litre turbo "AIRCOOLED"!!!! bug runs 11.8's,
No shitty suby donk in the back of this car.
Why change something that has been working since the 30's ???
Drag Bug ,
The problem is Adams car wasn't doing 11.8's in the 1930's......but then again you do live in Adelaide that could explain the time delay???
Well done Adam though...pat on the back.
Used to live in Sydney first ......
What does that now mean?
Couldnt pick up an EJ back then either.
[Edited on 1-2-2005 by dragbug]
I am happy for you.
It now means Sydney is now a happier place with one less tool who tends to keep posting in the wrong section.
and correct EJ20T's weren't around in the 1930's , but seeing as though your living in the past (and Adelaide) maybe you can speak to the
moderators about starting a "1930's Vintage Section" they can set the theme slogan with something like : Come compare apples with oranges and make
a complete dick of yourself and built 140hp reliable VW motors using 1930 technology ...all for under $5000.
Keep it coming..... your cracking me up.
C'mon... SA/Adelaide is not that far back in the past
hehe
140hp reliable VW motors using 1930 technology ...all for under $5000.
Where did i state this???
All this bent up anger from someone who cant handle a simple slice of sarcasm.
I dont care who builds what in what.......I just dont understand the whole concept of Suby in vw.
Yeah,it might be cheap to buy the engine to start with but what about all the choping,mounting,adaption methods,wiring,rerouting,plumbing......
This time and effort = lots of dollars doesnt it?
So before you wanna get personal, have a think as to where i might actually be coming from first.
Never slammed you about your choice of state to live in,nor do i resort to name calling.
dragbug,
If you don't understand suby's in VW's , dont post or read this section of the forum and that should stop you having to post a simple slice of
sarcasm.
While we are on the sarcasm thing umm.....Adelaide.
Yes Suby engines are cheap to buy and there is a lot of work to get them in the car correctly which does equal money and time , but that's the idea
of customising cars. I dont want to start a cost debate of suby v's vw because I dont need to convince anyone but myself , unlike yourself.
I wouldn't consider what I said getting personal ,surely you wanted a reaction and seeing that tonight I have nothing better to do ,I thought I would
give you a reaction.
Your right though I didn't think about where you were coming from, but I think you should be going to another section of the forum.
Cheers
Paul.

Hi
I think Adam would be the 1st to admit that his car is on the edge and he probably spent more on just the turbo than 1303, boof and Jak have on their
whole conversion.
Subaru motors aren’t as reliable as some Jap motors so I don’t know if nitrous is good idea, more boost etc is a better way to go.
Steve
Does Adam's 11.8 bug get driven daily? if so could he look at putting 200,000 kms on it before a rebuild.
I sold my 2332 in bits...did the conversion and had $4000 in my pocket, sure it has taken some time...but it was no where near as hard as trying to
get Doddy to build my engine. It would still be up the back of the workshop in a box!
One day come for a drive in a wrx powered bug..... bring Adam too, and the next post we will get will be asking which bits of the firewall do WE cut
first, and what trail bike will I buy with the money I now have spare!
