Looks like a Weber 36DCD with the special casted manifold from Carb city in Pta. Had the same on my bug a long time ago.

thats good to know...theres actually a place where i could buy that manifold? how much is it???
howd the bug run with that set-up? i could get my hands on a 36mm weber, not sure if it would work.....would the performance/consumption
be worth it???

The engin is still a 1600. The manifold i bought 2nd hand , it is a cast aluminium manifold for a 36dcd . If it is available in SA i dont know,all i know is that i have never seen a similar one anywhere.You do get it in "home made" , a lazer cut flange with stainlessteel pipe, also looks good.The 36dcd makes a bigger difference to the fuel consumption then the speed.I must also say that i have a heavy right foot.The sound and (109ah battery) other trimmings ads about 200kg to the bug and it stil runs off the clock with 225/35/18 wheels.

well....it looks awesome. i see u avoiding the "nos" topic, its cool...was just curiuos how a standard(if it was standard) motor would handle with "gas"
i saw quite an awesome beetle in the "caperush" mag a while ago-an orange one...had an 11kw shot of gas, seemed like that could be fun

The nos system on my bug is a 30hp one, in fact it is the same system as a 100hp single fogger only smaler jets . I was told it is safe aslong as you dont boost more than 80% of your engin power.
