totally, you can't just throw out a little teaser like that and not give us something to look at.

right well, loadsa tidying to do, but this is essentially the project; 13b into a bug. Stock transmission (solid mounted). As i said the rad needs to be bigger and i have issues with fuel starvation...but lets see what happens!

I gather this is a competition car. Where abouts are you? Is it a turbo? Have you built a surge tank for it?

Check out the last dozen and sum posts of

well she will be street legal. Im going to CNC up some mounts for the cool air filter to mount under the vents in the upper engine bay. Its normally aspirated, but with the removal of the air conditioning and the steering pump, cat and a little bit of ECU work, i think it should develop around 180BHP

dubber91 - August 1st, 2005 at 11:47 PM

good work mate...what ecu are you using? seems to not be fitting the best. did you do any cutting?


Anthony


dubber91 - August 2nd, 2005 at 07:21 PM

no cutting whatsoever. :P
just lots of welding and hole drilling. The decklid will fit once ive re-routed the induction system; which isnt as easy as you may think......
