Lol. Two throttle bodies. Two belt tensioners.. I'm going out on a limb and guessing you love overkill..

Ready to go. Only issue is it now takes 2 people to put a belt on the car! Lol I will have to drill a hole to put a screwdriver thru for at least 1 of the tensioners because God only graced me with 2 hands..... checked it out on the 2 step and she did great.as it is now the 4.6 tensioner does not move the way it is mounted.... oops too much angle tward the sc. It's OK though it acts as a manual tensioner.
Noooo....... 3 tensioners.Lol. Two throttle bodies. Two belt tensioners.. I'm going out on a limb and guessing you love overkill..
Yes I do sir. This mockup and trial, it works great mind you. After I get my mig setup (shortly lots of yard work after all that 70 hr weeks) I will weld ribbing on the back. Each tensioner will also be receiving another piece of bar stock behind the plate to prevent tear thru. For instance the 4.6 tensioner on the far right has a piece of 1/2 aluminum stock behind the plate it's bolted through.
My only critique is something I think I mentioned before in this thread or may have already been covered:
I really think that you're going to have to add stiffeners to that plate to make it as inflexible as possible. For what you're using it for, it looks mighty thin.
All of that rotational weight increases exponentially as RPM increases. That, in addition to the extra torque and tension.... you see where I'm going...
I'm curious......Why exactly are we buying an Aussie version of this intake when there are perfectly good US made alternatives that don't have a ton of visible casting flash hanging off the water crossover?Things to come.hah traded for a set of contacts! we have the same prescription. (Dad)
Now I need an elbow @hoopty5.0 what did you use?
@84Ttop do you think the stock rails will fit? Or any suggestions?
Simple, it's FREE. That is not casting flash it's rtv, this was pulled off the 327 in the racecar. It's getting a super Victor, this was one of his testers. The design worked wellI'm curious......Why exactly are we buying an Aussie version of this intake when there are perfectly good US made alternatives that don't have a ton of visible casting flash hanging off the water crossover?
Well I cant argue with that. Free wins everytime.Simple, it's FREE. That is not casting flash it's rtv, this was pulled off the 327 in the racecar. It's getting a super Victor, this was one of his testers. The design worked well
They do well, going to get led bulbs. I'm not a big fan of the 3 led markers next to the headlight but my wife got them for me a few years ago for Christmas so I couldn't not put them in....Looks good man and have I asked you before how do your headlights do at night?

It's for the wife she wants the air cooled engine which is cool with me. It's the 2000cc with twin port heads, it WILL be receiving disk brakes and a turbo.I have a soft spot for air cooled vws. Although if I was doing a bus a think a suby boxer engine would be my power plant of choice.
My first car was a72 bug convertible. Never turboed it, but I did the Porsche doghouse fan, dual Weber's from a 914 and punched it out to 1800cc. Didn't do much for the power but acceleration was incredible after the mods.It's for the wife she wants the air cooled engine which is cool with me.

Best thing about a vw is that most of the panels are bolted to the one next to it. I think they are still stamping new parts in Mexico. I replaced quite a few on mine. Florida humidity didnt treat it very well.Lol its what she asked for, so it shall be. Happy wife happy life. @Davedacarpainter will be getting questioned relentlessly for this one. Lots of panels need love.
