WOW, what a car, good to see a bit of Aussie technology is being used on it as well.

SCHWING ALRIGHT
WOW
Any idea on power expectations with something like that?

good to see the engines in the right end too

Fuck me, thats the only new beetle i like, but i think the turbo is a tad small
Thanks for the link Dave, now if only i won the lotto the other day, i'd build one for you Dave.

Holy crap thats awesome
Saw some teasers a while back on UAC but to go through those build pics......you can only begin to imagine the time and money that has gone into the
build...love it.

ghees it's amazing what abit of coin can get you.

Dave what a lovely piece of engineering...however the turbo outlet to the inlet cross manifold is 90 degrees a big no no for air flow !!!Maybe he has
that much happening it doesn't matter...not like us poor naturally aspirated competitors who have to grasp at every straw !!!

Crikey....pick pick pick.
Hey Hotdog, did you notice the wastegate placement is far from optimal too
BrisDubba - July 8th, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Wow - usually not into that stuff, but wow that is a piece of work.
polak - July 8th, 2009 at 06:32 PM

Hi Ross, yes I noticed that tight 90 degree joint where the throttle butterfly is.
When they guys all ran draw through carbs with their turbo applications,
a direct 90 degree helped stir upsome of the raw fuel that would pool in the manifold,
but with EFI and nozzles down low,
they have probably done that because of the limited space available.
Perhaps at a later time it will be easier to just swivel the butterly 180 degrees,
and plumb in an intercooler.
But yes you are correct, there will be no lack of power despite the design being less than optimum.

never mind that question, i just got to all the later pics.... frikken hell this thing is nuts!!! i got to say though, thats got to be the most
over-engineered power isolator switch i have ever seen in my life! lol
