Heinous smell coming from engine bay '91 Loyale Sedan
Burned clutches smell awesome. And when I say awesome, I mean god-awful.

3rd eye on my Vanagon.
That's a nice lift you got there.

*VIDEO* EJ22 Beetle in action!
The rest of the car sort of looks like...crap. There's more work to be done before I ever show it. However, I'm tempted to see whether or not I can get it past tech and into the staging lanes at the drag racing at BUGOUT. VW powerplants only:brow:

There was water down the spark plug holes. SOOO STUUUPID! The Butler PD would love that.

Carburetion for ej22
Look what you all have done. When I move to my new place, i'm gonna have to build up an EJ22 with twin weber 48 IDA's and MSD digital ignition. It would look sort of like a vw motor, too. Goodbye rev limiter. I'm gonna need some billet connecting rods and forged pistons. Destroke it so I can rev it to 9 grand.

Drawthough with RHB5
This turbo does not have the seals you are looking for. It would probably work, but not incredibly well.

Look what was found in NC by NASIOC members...
Yeah, but can you autocross it?

Carburetion for ej22
I think MSD has the spark problem covered with their Digital II ignition system.

Carburetion for ej22
Yeah, twin webers would look good.

*VIDEO* EJ22 Beetle in action!
Yeah, it won't stay put. It just pushes the locked front tires. The rear tires are like eight inches wide, too. If it ever hooked up, I think it would pop a wheelie. Oh, Scrapdaddy and Spanky_Pete...Thanks for the hookup!

What grade gas?
High altitutes plus high grade might make it seem sluggish, as the air is less dense and the fuel burns slower. Essentially, you'd be running rich. I don't think that would hurt anything (converter temps might be higher).

Custom bumper, unusal and (too wierd?)
Haha, I'm in someones sig!

Cool, I'll let scrapdaddy know. BTW, when i looked at that address, I couldn't decide if it was real or not.

Carburetion for ej22
The 95 engine has an EGR valve, which may cause firewall interference. 90-94 do not. I'd love to see twin 48 IDA's with tall stacks on top of an EJ.

We'd kill that in half an hour.

EA82, 240k, bent valves, replace?
We are all supposed to be working, but posting here instead.

I think it's cool, in a "I don't have any money" sort of way.

Scrapdaddytatum took a video of me trying to do a burnout with the subaru bug. Glorious axis power action below.

Time for a different muffler
My RX has a straight pipe. It sounds pretty good, not too loud. I guess the turbo quiets it down a bit, though.

ea81 roof rack wanted, also y does it deseil
Dieseling is aggravated by timing too far advanced, idle speed too high, fuel quality low, and overheating. Carbon deposits and worn spark plugs don't help either (if the side electrodes are severely worn, they overheat and provide a source of ignition). Any progress on that video? I'm eager.

VW engine in 84 wagon?
TDI's can twist up to like 5 grand. But you want cruising rpm lower, or you will lose that delicious economy. You could probably make up for it with larger diameter tires.
