Changing the steering to where it belongs will cost some time and money

When my car is ready, I will drive it with the 2.0ltr type 4 I have laying around (+/-120HP N/A)
I want to add a bottle to it, so all the info is welcome. Do I have to run extra fuellines etc.?
I am still in the building face so if I have to change things (run extra lines and so, now is the time to do it.

Cheers Paul.

I ran a -8 feed and -6 return as needed for the EFI,then a simple T to take off the required fuel for the nitrous system in the engine bay,but as I wrote earlier it was on the limit of fuel supply,but more to do with the pump used than enything else,if building a car from scratch i would always fit 2 fuel lines,you never know when you will want to upgrade later,with a single line carbed ststem I think you want to add another fuel system for the nitrous anyway so yes fit 2 lines at least

Been talking to a nitrous company about what is best for this as its been 10 years since I last was up to date with the latest and greatest gizmos and things have moved on since then
and no one does a aircooled vw kit that I know of,last time I kind of put it together myself

Would be cool if you, after making this project a success, put together a nitrous kit for the vw engine which is "bolt-on" and made it available to buy

Oyvind,

I am talking to the nitrous kit manufacturer I used before to do exactly that ,we are figuring out any differences for carbs or efi and with or without a fan shroud,anything else you can think of that we should take into account?

Hi Richie,

The future engine will be EFI so I already installed 2 -8 lines (so I"m good for the NOS on the temp. engine). Please keep us updated on the beetle NOS kit.

Cheers Paul.

Ahh, nice! I think you have a good number of alternatives to start with there
If you make it complete with all hoses and fittings too, you will make it really easy for the buyer. Can not wait to see what price range this kit ends up in

[richie]

Todays parts addition

Well i have been offered such a good deal on a NOS nitrous kit i cant refuse I havent used one before so will be interesting to see how it compares to the "other manufacturer" who are keen to help and create a VW specific kit so I guess i will have to try both to see which does what

-8 will supply plenty enough fuel for your requirements

Race-weight ERCO's? 6"?
As light seats as possible with a lot of support!

That is my dilema,as the car is 4 stud and Ercos are not so easily available in 4 stud,particulaly used I need to look for other options,or maybe go to 5x130 instead as there are lots of cheaper wheels available if I ignore the looks,as I will proberly need new discs and drums anyway as they are so corroded buying them in porsche pattern isnt really anymore expensive

Proberly that or the Jaz equiverlent,but it will need some padding for the road but I am also considering the fiberglass low back buckets and then add a headrest/support to cage

[dannyboy]

There is a jazz poly seat  on lvzi for 60 quid

[Jon]

I am also considering the fiberglass low back buckets and then add a headrest/support to cage

That is the scariest thing I see, a head rest integrated to the seat will always follow the seat/your body in an accident. A cage headrest will not... it will stay stationary while you move about.  I know seats aren't supposed to come loose... but safety is about IF.
Just a personal observation.

That is a good point Jon,and something I hadnt considered,I had planned a steel backbone to the fiber seat but not considered the "what if"     

Highback it is then


Danny I will take a look,not so keen on the plastic seats as I worry they could tear where they are bolted through in an accident

We saw you make a pass but didnt see where you we all parked,they wouldnt let us round with the car and wasnt going to carry the scales all the way round so just watched from the stands.

2 thoughts from what I saw of your pass

less burnout needed and let the linelock off while still doing the burnout and roll out the water that way,it looked like you dragged some water out with you

Good luck on sunday

If you see the add for those wheels let me know please?

cheers richie 

[henk]
