RAM Air for Volkswagen

[hybrid_john]

nice Yuki...I like the street car the best...although the racer is just awsome .

Though I was thinking about doing something like this to my 72 Super, I was going to graft on a front and rear bumper from a Porsche 996 Turbo....

If that didnt work out for me the way I plan it too...I will keep your company in mind when looking for a different front spoiler!


Thanks for the links :agree:


Oh....I would just like to add that I have cut into the roof and have started the intake...but I might redo the whole thing....I hope to get some picture of the work ive done onn the roof so far...just to see what other people think!

i have manufactured a scooped decklid for 70s beetle, (my 1303 in particular), it is all steel and before it got final painted i had a local make a few fiberglass copies, if anyone would like to see the lid pm me or reply here with you email, i aint figured out how to post pics,

currently 2 available for £70 each plus postage to wherever you are, more can be made to order.

the scoop is about 2/3 the width of the decklid and about 1.5" opened out.

Almost 2 years....any progress pics???

how about naca scoops in the deck lid not ram air but it would force ir over the engine

nasc car ducts could be done but as they are basically designed for a flat panel ther will be a lot of filling and shaping to get them to fit a curved panel like an engine lid.

i put one into the front quarter of my bug and it was a lot of work to get the curve exactly matched.

basically i ended up buying one duct then using it as a mould then i made a fiberglass one that i cut and grind into shape.
