PROJECT 2.5L STi coming to a close...

9:1 Forged Pistons
VF23 STi IHI Turbo
Version 8 STi Manifold
CNC Port/Polish Heads
Crower Cams/Springs/Retainers
Oversized Valves
DC Sports Exhaust
RC Throttle Body
AEM Pulley
TRANSAXLE:
Rancho (Rhino) Transmission
KEP Adapter/Clutch/Flywheel
Super Beetle Mainshaft
3.88 Ring & Pinion
S-A-W HD Axles
Berg Trans Mount
CSP Torque Bar
FUEL MANAGEMENT:
AEM Universal EMS
RC Injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump
COOLING:
C&R Radiator
STi Intercooler
Let me see if I can dig up an older picture...everything is currently apart

do you think that will hold up under such extreme power?
i have been told....that 200hp is about the safe limit to those rancho pro streets..thats 200hp at the flywheel.

Anthony,
You have to remember that the rating is for constantly giving the car 5000rpm and dumping it on the drag strip. With the suby motor this is not
necessary due to the abundance of torque...
For street use with the occasional trip to the drags the Rancho will be fine!

hmmm. am i wrong to assume that torque is what lunches gearboxes?
with this sort of power in the back (i imagine would be a fair wad more than your subie has) im sure he will want to give it a hard launch every now
and then.

Fat chance of any Beetle-based box coping with that, I reckon...

I am running an air duct underneath the car for the radiator.
For the intercooler, I am either going to mount 2 fans to it or take it off and run a staged methanol setup instead.
