Default bug16

i'm posting these of my cousins car since he is away for a while




the fan is now under the radiator. it is in the rear luggage compartment of the bug.






it is a gsr fuel pump in a bug gas tank. it is modified to fit the -6 steel braided line.

it is a stock b16 with a header. the tranny is built by bugformance to spin the opposite direction of a stock vw. the radiator was a water to air intercooler that had some modifications done to make it my new radiator. to adapt the tranny to the motor it has a custom adapter plate and pressure plate from kennedy engineering. the intake manifold is cut and flipped. the radiator filler neck is on the back firewall.

mods to come..
Blox HSL cams
Supertech Valetrain

or if we can eliminate the speed sensor

Turbo..

all thanks to Jeremy and Brandon at REDZONE PERFORMANCE.

cause then you would have to further hack the firewall, and cause more unsturdyness in the rearend.. plus what is wrong with spending a little more money?? you have to pay to play right?!?!

this bug is not really finished as of right now, the owner went off to boot camp and when he gets back im sure we will be changing a few things.

as for the intake manifold, the throttle body would sit right against the firewall and the firewall would have to be cut more then it should be....there for flipping the manifold was the best option....like any project that has never been exicuted before you will have to figure things out and go from there.....but if you like....when you do yours leave the manifold alone
