I have a 02 wrx engine which I am fitting into a vw beetle. I was just wondering the best (cheapest) way to get arond 300+bhp out of it

Dark Blue Mark

300 plus or 350?

Quite a big difference.

What sort of beetle?! Not sure how you would feed the I/C?

Has been done before, was at Santa Pod recently.

Surely not an old style beetle? Was rear engined.

Would be interested how the I/C is fed as the front end of the beetle doesn't look as though it lends itself to that.

300 plus would be achieveable with the right exhaust system - ECU mapping, fuel pump, regulator and turbo change to get to higher bhp's....

I still say you would be struggling with charge temps to keep it relaible, without some sort of good IC feed and or water / methanol spray.

Judging by that pic, the IC and air intake could well be mounted on the floor pan

thanks boys I was looking at running a charge cooler and mounting the rad in the front of the car. good idea ?

As the car is classed as a kit car for mot purpasses and the age of the car it wont need a co test if that helps
