Before you hit the PLAY button - can you guess what Haltech ECU is used in this car? Bet you can't.... Old School Beetles are cool. Baja Beetles are even cooler. So how about a Toyota V8-powered Baja Beetle? Today we take our tech scalpel to this pink machine and see what makes it tick.
Green coolant on a toyota engine? Blasphemy!! Long live the UZ though, I have nearly finished an A70 supra race car with a GTX3582r slapped on a built 1UZ in front of a t56, running an old PS2000 that a mate had lying around atm to keep the budget down but always room for upgrades down the track ;) I can't wait to hear what it sounds like
Another great episode Scotty and made better for this Volkswagen fan. Not unlike the Volkswagen’s of days gone by, It’s simplicity getting the job done - and looking cool doing it.
My kid has the 1uz in a rock crawler and hammer's it every weekend. I don't know anything about that motor , I run a 600hp CBM LS in my baja and have been on the Rev limiter for 3 years with zero issues so far. I'll stick with the LS 🤙

Definitely a clean buggy..
Not bragging but you should see mine. 600hp CBM LS and 2700lbs. Wheelies on command 😜
Baja is from a region in Mexico, and the J pronounced as an H in Spanish.
Very awsome ! I currently have my stock bottom end 1uz making 781whp. It's made that power for the last 4 years 💪 These engines take a lot of abuse !

It’s actually blue to match the frame, is there a difference?
Finally, a UZ-powered car, even though it's a buggy.
Having the radiator right behind the seats scares me after that incident at Cleetus' burnout contest!
Do you have 1uz base tunes with your ecu's?

Love Baja!!!!!
Love the video. Shared it and liked. Please more of the same, love the offbeat cars
Looks a beast.. you missed the most important bit though... Does she wheelie 🤔😏😈😈
she certainly does!
I guess an Elite 1500 or even older. Regardless, thanks for the content and mixing it up, all still very interesting. Keep it up.
1UZ is hidden tuning reliable gem, keep them hidden. Best V8 ever made. LS is boat anchor against 1UZ.
Best keep this one a secret before they start going up in price! But yeah, they're def a gem.

Good video. I just wish you could have shown the car with the body off as well
BahJahh! Love it
Hello! Tell me, please, what gearbox is installed on the buggy?
Scott, Not to nitpick, but @2:50 It's "Bah-hah" per Spanish language etymology ;) Bah-Jah sounds like a spicy item on a menu!
Upside down in a lake on fire. How does that work 🤣
Awesome
I'm a big fan of the KISS method. It's a thing.
Umm, Keep It Simple Stupid.
That's me. KISS.
Muito Loko este projeto!
Woot!
I’d love to drop a 1uz in my kingswood
Ouch! That funny bone sure does tingle! 7:35
Not a bug. Its a dirt car with a bug body on it
I bet VW purists are pissed about an oval window being hacked into a Baja Bug.
Is that how Baja is pronounced in Australia?
As a proper noun, you’re allowed to still pronounce it like “bah-hah”, not “bah-jaw”
Pinky
