Always like to see something different, good luck.

Not much room for a bigger cam with out some notching eh?!
Nice build!

under_boost

i actually did have to remove some material on in the head, as the profile starts to open the valve. the cams are decent sized (for being a 20v head)
intake: 279* duration 10.45mm lift. exhaust: 268* duration 11.2mm lift.

but you're right, any more lift, and i would have to look at machining the caps too.

Wow very nice. How do you think the axles and tranny are going to hold up?

under_boost

preloading at the line, axles will last a while. good 30+ passes. trans? borrowed time and it hasn't even started. haha. next winter i will focus on building the trans. i didn't want the car to be down another year to build it this season. i haven't enjoyed this thing for 3 years now. i want to race, and get some enjoyment out of putting money into the car.

Turbo-charged

lots of vw's coming out now a days. looking good

why would you even post this in here? nobody likes volkswagons. just kiddin,
very nice build you got goin on there, 2500lbs is super light for vw good stuff

mrbh22

Mark Morris

Fred@Imerj

Nice, gl with the build

Schister66

isn't that why we love vw's? haha. actually, i've owned the car since new. it's a 2002 model, and i bought it 11/2001. only has about 35k miles on it. =P

i'll be hitting a few events this season. wcf is ont he list, a few vw events, buschur event in may and 1 for sure ifo. when i'm working, i work mad hours. anywhere from 60-85hrs/week, for 60+ days straight. so, sometimes it's tough to walk away from $~600 days to go race. haha.

fernancivic

Great build...been wanting to see one of these out in the events showing for the VW's

joe111599

Dang dude...what exactly do you do for a living??? lol.

Also, where did you get that fuel line hose from? What material is it and how much is it per foot? Im curious. Thanks! And good luck with the build! Looks bad azz! ;o)

EM2Civic

I <3 Jti's :D, espically a 67mm build. Damn that thing looks sick! Good luck getting out and racing it this year.

Mark Morris

Rumor has it........**** star-- I just hope I don't inadvertently run across one of his films.

under_boost

maybe you could be the co-star? lol.

thanks for the comments guys. all the wiring wrapped up for the car today, minus the ecu. that will be wrapped up tomorrow. fwiw, i pulled the oem harness out. headlight to taillight. i reduced the 85# copper pile down to about 40 wires. lol. i should have some updated pics tomorrow for you guys.

victor.ek4

I wonder what kind of power can this thing make...


In my country they say that this 20v head is bullshit and bla bla, ignorants, the builders still use the VW 8v head for the drag cars.

under_boost

vicotr, i k the 8v heads are more readily available in bazil, no? i'm shooting for 725+whp. this is an old school comp wheel here, with a dinosaur like turbine wheel. haha. i know you guys make crazy numbers with the 8v's.

FWDrag

Do you have any shots of the fuel cell from the inside of the car? Looks like a clean build.
