James, that's a sick buggy! I've been thinking about getting my electric one up and running again....just gotta replace the seals and oil in the rear shockies and replace/repair the munted cells in the battery packs

so you're handy with VW motors then?

my dad and i have a off road buggy. basically a 67? dub with shell and floor pan gone with rollcage in place. got a fastback on the way for the motor (1600) and rear suspension set up.

how hard is it to make it carby and do you have and tips on modding for power. we're in a comp with my uncle and i want to smash him lol

his is a bit.... crap. but its running a datto 200b motor with twin SU's. Note my awesome helmet/goggles

yeh very handy. i got a 72 fastback too, thats locked away in my dads mates garage til i got a garage build (8 months ago hahahHAHAHA jokes on him). most fastbacks are dual carby and its rare to see a bosch fuel injection system still installed and running. use the type3 trans too they are abit stronger than a beetle one and have better ratios. might be worth using the pancake engine with dual carbs so if you snap a fan belt you dont cook the engine

basically bigg headers, big exhaust and the right amount of advance is the best increase without massive coin. on my old beetle i very lightly ported and cleaned up the intake port and then the same with the exhuast ports but polished the hell outta it to near mirror finish and the rest was bog stock apart from a 009 dizzy and a good tune and she flew!

I NO NAHSING!!!

the type3 rear suspension (if its an IRD model and not swing axle) is more beefed up from the beetle too, there 2 rear spring plates (trailing arms) instead of one so there less camber change though its range of motion. also the drum brakes are bigger

    • A work around is to install the R35 card style AFM/MAF on the cold side of the intercooler piping and the BOV on the hot side piping. Works well, also you can combat the revs dropping by adding a bit more ignition timing on the idle ignition timing table to slow the rate of RPM drop.
    • Understood. If you dont have a ridiculous limit,  Tune, T's and P's are in check, and arent bashing it all the time and doing the due deligence for maintenance(inc oil analysis) then its pretty safe. 100% agree, let your right food control it to some extent.
    • So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end   For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal??? I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed  I don't understand how that tracks with this video   https://youtu.be/RuPiI22Mplk?feature=shared   This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?   Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s
    • Yeah i know that MAF is no no for this type of BoV. The engine has no BoV and "hose/pipes" ..it was all deleted (or probably it was not even on the engine when it was bought  ) It does that "sutututu" noise which i kinda do not want(atmospheric is better IMO...but standalone ECU)  What are the cons of running without blow off on stock RB25DET NEO. It running 5-7 PSI max (it has boost controller)   EDIT: and can Nistune be "tuned" to know there is no BoV to i dont know "know" and be better for a car? I read so many info about no BoV. One guy saying it is bad and hurting the turbo/engine/car and other that it does not...  
    • Yeah. OK. I'll say the same thing I say to everyone. You do not have to use 100% throttle all the time.
