Alright then...I am a new member, so I am going to make this an intro and project thread.

My name is Erik and I am from Tallahassee. I currently drive my 1973 VW Super Beetle...pictured here. (Rockin 48 HP)


Now that that part is out of the way..on to the madness. My project consist on a 1974 Super Beetle Body. A 1973 Super Beetle Pan. And what I was told was a JDM STI V3 engine (I have lots of Suby engine questions) I will have a roll cage, race suspension, upgraded brakes, and so on. But enough with that, onto some pictures.

Heres the engine-








Wiring Harness and ECU-



Upgraded sways and bushings...



And the Frame that will be getting the powerplant.



And last the projected look for the bug...or something along these lines!



Well there it is. My project in a nutshell...there is a lot of detail that isnt even mentioned here, but it will be brought up as I go.

I have questions about turbos, up-pipes, down-pipes, MAF, engine management...all kinds of things! Cant wait to do some learning.
