what kind of mix are you using to keep it from boiling out?

its under pressure which raises the boiling temp.

That car is freaking cool. Deffinition of a sleeper. Is it a full time race gas car? Ive done alot of blow through stuff and could never get any decent off boost driveability without some sort of mod ring. Did u figure something out of just sacraficing for horsepower?

its 99% pump gas with methanol injection that comes on at 5psi. It runs AWESOME off boost, like a regular big stroker dual carb motor. As is right now i have no mod rings, just my own adaptation of blow through technology. I can floor the car at any rpm in any gear and it just pulls, no flat spots, no bucking, no hickups. It did take alot of fine tuning to get it this good. However when jetted for big boost i fear the off boost will be on the rich side.

someday...efi...someday

Yea i went efi and never looked back. You need to get that beast on a dyno. I would love to see what you can make on pump and meth.

do you still have your car?

55superbeetle · Post by **55superbeetle** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:43 pm

Yea but its subaru powered now. Although i guess your watercooled now to

I've been so broke lately i havent even been driving it because i know it will end up costing me money. It did make 280whp un-intercooled on 91 octane and 13 psi. I took it to wed night sac for the hell of it and it went 12.2 at 115 with a awesome 2.2 60ft. I was on regular street tires and it would not stop spinning the tires. Im saving up to get a weddle gear stack and im going to retune on e85 and some m/t dot's. Should easily make 350+ with the boost turned up. Its no drag car but its just so damn fun smoking all the honda kiddies.

55superbeetle, I'm glad you didn't sell that thing. Like 2stroke's car, It is a work or art.

2stroke, What are you using for a pump for the meth injection?

Hi,

Great to see someone else has already done what Ive been doing with the water cooled heads. Pictures of your heads on the samba inspired me to re-work the water jacketing I had already done on my CE heads. These are pics of mine.

What brand of water pump is that? Looks to be very nice quality.

Also are you running a simple T to split water flow through both heads, running two pumps, or running a thermostat on each head?

Cheers,
Ian

A T to each head and a T to the radiator. The water pump is a Meziere unit commonly available from summit.
