There are better ones y’know. Search up on KZread “1303RS.” Still, this is a good swap.

The fact that this bug is using an STI that's good enough for me.

This is the same type of swap I want to do in a VW Bus. Possibly a 4 door Kombi. This was a great video, and it sounded awesome. I get that you built this out of love for the vehicle, and not to showboat, or brag about it. Whether if you do 10 second quarter mile runs, or use it as a daily driver, your overall project is simply awesome. Thanks for sharing Johan.

Subaru does a 6zylinder boxer engine ^^ go for it here is someone on youtube that offers help and tips for a swap whit the 3.3 Subaru SVX Motor into a T3 his name is "svxcarat" check it out ;-)

beautiful,fast and it revs sweetly.the boost seems to really come on fast and i love the sound of the blow off valve doing its thing.

Guys you are too professional keep it i love its sound and power

a stock smart will roll at 150KPH turning 4300RPM with a 999cc 3 cylinder engine, add a turbo and it tops out at 240KPH. not many people like driving an 1800 pound car with a 73 inch wheelbase much over 150KPH, it gets a little squirrelly.

i sneeze not just before but when i shift!! the turbo needs it pressure be relieved when you get your foot of the throttle.

My point? Subaru is a slug.And such a pain to swap compared to The VW engine that can produce just as much power or more. That's why they're running low 10s and faster. I'm just not impressed. Sorry.I just haven't seen a Subaru swap that was really fast.I call 10.50s really fast in a bug.

i really not get it what you want. do you no what it cost to build a reliable vw engine with the same performance as mine and i mean really runs not only the 1/4 mile but also can do 100k miles with no problem this cost 10 times the price of a low mileage suby engine that is technical 10 times better and a bug with 350hp is never going to hit 10.50s in the real world i think other people have really liked your opion... i think ;)

Johan Muter I admire your work, I have gone the Nissan 1500 route few years back as I did the math and to rebuild my beetle engine would have worked me out R35000.00 (south African rands) where as the Nissan conversion with disk brakes and ss braided lines cost me in the region of R14000.00 I am contemplating on doing the wrx swop if I can source a motor. What gearbox are you running on your bug?

@Stabby666

10 жыл бұрын

Dude, you really don't know what you're talking about. The original VW engines cannot produce this type of power without changing virtually every single part anyway. Believe me, I've worked on those engines a lot, and it's expensive. Much more expensive than swapping in an engine with much more power out of the box, and the potential to push over 500bhp on regular gas, (not C16 or with help from a bottle) without getting crazy expensive.

@skirmich

10 жыл бұрын

TurboABA1955Bug Your high if you think a Bug with 350HP will hit 10.50s in the quarter... That would require at least +450whp... And you know how much a Racing Beetle engine cost? That shit its worth its weight in gold... This Subaru Engine produces an insane amount of power STOCK and cost literally 1/4th of a Racing Beetle Engine and the Subaru Engine will guaranteed out last the Beetle Engine for sure.. Make some Little mods to that Suby engine and you can have +500whp in no time with Regular Gas and still cheaper than a Full bolted on Racing Beetle Engine.. Those beetle engines are for the purist only...

I think next to videos about military subjects, videos on automotive subjects seems to bring out the biggest crack pot comments. Ppl listen to the BS spouted by ill informed ppl and spout it themselves as if it's gospel. If you think an engine designed in the 1920s or 30s is going to have anything like the performance of a modern engine, then you aren't being very realistic, about the only thing the 2 lumps have in common is that they are both flat 4s. That's why the Subaru engine was used very successfully to win un-told rallies, I can't think of 1 successful rally team that utilises VW's venerable old push rod flat 4s, not in this millennium anyway.

turbo sounds amazing. well done bro. looks really good.

Now that is the kind of car with a Subaru WRX engine I want. Perhaps all wheel drive for all weather conditions is a great idea.

My first love, my first car! The young person, surf culture of '75 determined I would buy a beetle! Bought all the magazines, Hot VW etc and plenty of V8 powered and super tuned dubs made the pages. There was even a 351 beetle called Godzilla, long before Nissan GTR's inherited the name! Had beetles, fast backs, combi's and wagons in the friend group and it would be scary to add up what they would all be worth today! This bug would be a hoot to drive ( as all of them are! ). Not quite a " sleeper " though! Great car!
