There's your limit I think.

Hey Steve, how is your build going?

Hi

Its good to be back, thanks to everyone that worked to get the site going again. I will need to fix my photos up that are hosted on Photobucket

A lots been happening with my bug. I had the car back on the road for a few days and bent a rod, my fault, I got a bit carried away and drove it through a missfire.

So its a fully forged strocker motor, 2.5 crank, Argo rods, Manley pistons etc 2142cc it made 305 kW on 29 psi, Tomei cams are now responding to tuning thanks to a new ECU, it also made 200kW at just 4,500 rpm, the torque is amazing.

I also fitted an Accusump and Radium fuel rails and dampener.

Ive loaded a dyno photo, not sire if it will work, Red blue green 3 boost settings. Pink is old setup

Hi

After my Beetle crashed into my sons Beetle we did an update on it, Aero kit the same as mine, he borrowed my wheels for a while. Were building Oxy boxer for it, 82x94, Street elims, 48 IDFs dry sump etc

[Wally]

Nice car for sure!
Steve, what is the benefit of a fuel damper?

[H2OSB]

Two amazing looking cars! Love the idea of the oxyboxer. Unfortunately for me, I can't install an oxy for the same reason I can't do a Suby mill...don't have the guts to cut up my car. Maybe if I could just find the right radiator set up.....

Hi

I needed a fuel pulse dampener because Im running ID 2000 injectors and when they open & shut they cause a chatter in fuel line which causes a rough idle.

John, the idea of going Oxyboxer is that will be essentially an air cooled motor, a WBX with no water jackets.

When I sold my 1302 and fitted an air cooled motor in place of the WBX all I had to do was fit a new spare wheel well to get it back to standard.

I knew that. I guess I gapped out a bit. I was looking into an Oxyboxer crank into a T1 for a while, but I've gone pretty far down the T4 road, so I decided to stick with that. The jacketless WBX makes a nice motor, I just don't have any of whats needed to build one and don't feel like cutting my losses with the T4 parts.

Anyway, both you and CaveDarter have nice rides!

tnx! learned somethink again :-)
You run E85 now (because of the 2000cc injectors)?
