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

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
