With more problems than a factory unit...by far!

@@jonnyrox116 How so?

Looks more than aeronautical application...

@@jonnyrox116 Incorrect.

Thanks Garrett, I'm learning as I go.

I watched it, thinking the same, but knowing different!

I’m having my Fastback done right now. WRX engine and 5 speed Subaru trans. Very excited about it!

@@michaelconverse5127 hell yeah any pics anywhere?

El engranaje anular se gira hacia el lado opuesto del piñón, lo que invierte la rotación de los ejes.

She didn't break it, but it takes a bit of time to learn how to drive it. She would have caught on if she had more time.

Unfortunately or fortunately? I am confused.

@@chrisallen9154 Unfortunately. I'd like to run two different oils in my Audi, but the trans axle prevents that. I run that same Shockproof Redline in my Ford Toploader transmission, shifting seems ok, believe gear noise is the same. Subaru transmissions have documented issues with 5th gear, but not with baulk rings that I'm reading until the later 6 speed boxes. I'd almost vote to have the gears matched no baulk ring at all. You can go back to what Subaru uses in there gear boxes for oil likely might help, or have someone make a steel baulk rings with carbon facings?

Thanks, yeah the next chapter is the front end and radiator. Still waiting on front spindles

Corvair engines were pretty common transplants 50 years ago but they are antiquated by today’s standards

I don't know the answer. Maybe someone on one of the Subaru/VW Facebook groups can steer you in the right direction.

It a 5sp Subaru trany with a flipped r&p

Subaru 5MT with a subarugears reverse R&P

Yes, there is, but not recommended.

Not really sure, but since it's only driven 1,500 miles per year, doesn't really mater. It also uses e85 which gets about 30% less fuel economy while costing 30% less.

It’s a Suby trany that comes as a 5 speed from the factory. 5th gear is like a fwy gear so it’s not over reving at 70 mph

Ha, that would be a giant step sideways.

@@JohnReynolds661 Yes but it would be a lot of fun! Even lighter.

@@yesode4201 Tell you what, you do it and I will subscribe to your channel!

@@JohnReynolds661 What is the time and cost estimate on the VW? As for the VW v8 I will see how you Corvair works out. Thank you for the cool builds!

@@JohnReynolds661 Your reply is 'witty' and clever as usual. Very good. And the second also, a good response. From the initial request, it was not clear to me, if he meant the Corvair V-8-LS4 or the original 6 cylinder, air cooled - somewhat similar with the Porsche 6 cylinder 'boxter' engine Though from his later reply to You second reply, it seems he intended the LS4 with mentioning "VW v8" and after Your Corvair. It seems this fellow is unaware that others have already accomplished LS4 swaps into the Corvair, similarly, some with single, others with twin turbochargers. Yours is certainly unique and grand to follow, with Your specific selections, choices, fabrication, suspension, etc. Which ECU have You selected John ? my personal interest would be a supercharged, however my location abroad has such extreme restrictions with motor vehicles, access to these older ones especially, certainly more so with any parts, engines, transmissions, drive train, all necessary parts, components, fabrication equipment, materials along with the space, locations to accomplish these projects. Thus, it basically is nearly impossible without extreme expense with acquiring all that is necessary along with arranging the shipment and location. This also would require the necessary planning for nearly every detail from the beginning, as You can imagine and figure. Anything not included, prepared, planned, expected or arranged will result in significant delays, and costs. For me, it is easier to approach projects which involve electronics, which are more accessible, attainable, though some limitations exist within this too, especially compared with in the USA. Taiwan based manufactures are very good to excellent and shipping is attainable, along with from Japan too. Though all still have significant importation duties + Taxes [VAT 17%] added after duties added onto total price. Vehicles have the highest duty of 100% + VAT it would be nice and delightful to also haves such motor vehicle projects. There are many which are within my imagination, for design, development, including some very useful which combine several developments together. Am looking forward toward more of Your posts with this VW Bug project and the Corvair Project also.

You could do a budget swap for 5 grand if you did all the work.

I had a 404 station wagon many years ago. Reliable doesn't come to mind.

@@JohnReynolds661 I'm rebuilding one as we speak so they are good I was told the same thing as my injection pump rebuilder he said they go forever thanks man this gives me confidence 👍

@@JohnReynolds661 I'm talking a Australian import 1.9 litre srdt turbo one of the last import diesel turbocharged engines.

I currently drive a single cam 4 litre fuel injected EB falcon 1993 for the last 25 years after I rebuilt it years ago I'm like you I like experimental projects 😁

2009 5MT -255 with Subarugears R&P

@@JohnReynolds661 Thanks

There really isn't an auto that would fit in this car and come anywhere close to holding the power. I'd have one if there were.

I bet you're really fun at parties.

Seems to make this bug shitty fast!

@@witcher71 Would have gone with a Porsche engine

@@dentes1185 Good luck making it fit in the stock location. What makes this car so great is its element of surprise. Plus a 500+ whp Porsche would be crazy money.
