@@jamesfitz1227I think he meant the starter is too small. He is just suggesting a fatter starter and bigger wire from the battery. But going by the way it started the second time I think it is possible the battery was just discharged like someone left something on and ran the battery down. It could even be that the battery isn't large enough. The battery could even be old even though it took a charge just one trip down the street. Kinda reminds me of my snapper mower after someone listened to the asshole tech and bought too small of a battery for it. Scary.
Actually coolant doesn't burn it just evaporates and comes out as steam. Yes it appears white, but white smoke is different, it comes from Transmission fluid when you have a busted diaphragm in your transmission vacuum modulator. So White actually = Transmission fluid Source : Mechanic for forty years
Wheelies are CHILD'S PLAY !!!!! They only appeal to 12 year old boys and people who are into WWF Wrestling For the record Dune Buggies and Dirt Bikes are best used for climbing hills and getting air !!!! And BTW that dune buggy is a worn out piece of shit, whose best day was 20 years ago. And anyone going through the trouble of making a dune buggy street legal is another moron. What are you going to take with you and switch tires when you go hill climbing ? Or just keep a set of street tires on it and can't drive off road for shit. Trying to have it both ways is a Swiss Army knife. It can half ass do a few different jobs but can't do a single job worth a shit.
Thing is , air cooled are cheap as a mofo. AND easy to work on. Lb for lb, why would you NOT choose an air cooled VW? (But, i. A dune buggy, not a rail). Unless ur in the dessert, wtf woupd someone need a rail for. (AND, theres so many better options for dessert running) BUT., I Guess I digress.. again.
Literally have an old SVO foxbody 4 cylinder turbo been sitting in the back of my family’s yard since I was a child the body is rough but it’s still all original motor and wheels. Supposedly it was a little animal back in the gap.
That is burning oil 100%. Smoke was blue,now maybe its also running a bit fat as well,but you should most definitely look into that oil being burned. Could of happened because he did a wheelie just before he got on it,and sloshed the oil up into the rear cylinders.
EVAN TZARAS Eh oil isn't always blue. Rich can be a very light blue color as well, my ZX9R(also carbed) puffed light blue smoke that was cured with a jet kit and dyno tune. The smoke I was speaking of does NOT smell like oil, it just smells very rich like fuel. Black smoke most of the time is flooding aka severe rich condition without barely any air. Point is, with smoke it's better to go with smell rather than color. If it's blue and smells like fuel, it's rich. If it's blue and smells of burnt oil, its oil.
Hey man I have a sand rail but am trying to put a v6 or a v8 in but I can't find a transaxle. So I was wondering if you could help me, What kind of transaxle are you using?? Thanks so much!!
@@ROTAXD prolly but it's definitely more suitable for this than an old fox body being as any car weighs more than this and the power to weight ratio seems pretty good for this but there's no way it's an svo
Cool. Ish. Whats the mix? 40:1 ? ;) With all these compliments, i can't figure out why dune buggies aren't more popular. (I mean 'cool ' buggies, not cheesy backyard 'sandrails'.. no offense meant ,of course)
If I had the chance to build a sand rail / dune I would put in a smaller cc turbocharged or supper charger or even hayabusa engine tunned the buggys are really light compared to a little car
It's really great build! Maybe I missed something, and it's dumb question, but here motor and gearbox are rotated in other direction than in standard car, so how it rotates wheels in right direction? I mean all gears front, one rear
Rich Wood You can add a turbo to anything. I'm not ashamed to say that it has any engine bigger than a VW beetle engine... I'm going off the information that was givin to me when I bought it. Said it was a 2.3 out of a mustang bored over to a 2.5.

That engine sounds great. Buggy seems wheelie-friendly, lol.
Wheelies never get old, especially when you got Michael McDonald driving!

It sure is

love the smile on the buggys face
that looks like so much fun. Bet the cops are a bunch of dream killers.
The smoke was from tipping the engine back when he did a wheelie
Bro take that shit to hoonigans donut garage do the first/best wheelie there!!!
crimsoncreep26 they just had a bug do the first wheelie. I still think this could be better
That thing is badass man that's a really cool setup you got there plenty of power and it looks badass
the smoke is from dousing the valve guides via the wheelie, that is not fuel, which would be black
I thought blue smoke meant burning oil?? I'm not a mechanic by any means but that's what I was told.
SkidzFPV Wheelies dump oil in to cylinder. Runs blue for a second.
@@streetstunna600 Yeah, Past the rings. However, it did it on his first blast, No wheelie...
Blue smoke is unburnt fuel
Black or grey is oil
Usually
@@michelle-vl3me
Blue or kinda grey- is oil.
Black or dark- grey fuel.
@@michelle-vl3me wrong....
Things badass, but personally I’d get some front body panels
Wild how it still sounds like a vw motor
Beautiful buggy do you have float baffles installed in the carburetor?
Nice rail. I like the projects that get driven and driven hard!
my 73 ghia does wheelies, not the safest but it looks cool.
I got to the point to where I could wheelie that sucker for the whole block!
I've never seen someone look upset about a wheelie.. haha
Lmfao!!!! This was a video to sell it. He wasn't supposed to pop the clutch that hard!! I did laugh though!
streetstunna600 haha nice it's definitely way cool what did it sell for?
Tyler powell $4,600.00. I had it listed for $5,000.00 and got talked down a bit.
Beautiful buggy. I like the motor choice. I was never excited by the air cooled engines.
Thing is , air cooled are cheap as a mofo. AND easy to work on. Lb for lb, why would you NOT choose an air cooled VW?

These are on a beast level!
KY ✌️ I'm working on a c6 custom buggy this winter
Had the same thing but with a turbo 4.6 from a Cadillac, it was scary fast pulls wheelies in third gear in the sand with bfgs!!
Not that it's lacking any power, but why remove the turbo?
Awesome wheelie at 5:35!!!
Lucas Martínez Parra and 6:23
How is that street legal? I bet its so fun to drive!!
smoke. white=coolent Black=rich Blue=oil.
pretty sure its burning oil

This one has a bus transaxle with the 2.3 ford mounting plate.
Ok thank you so much
We're Is the turbo if it's a svo
Tom Phillips highly doubt it’s an svo motor. More like a run of the mill 2.3 out of a mid 80’s fox body lx.
@@ROTAXD prolly but it's definitely more suitable for this than an old fox body being as any car weighs more than this and the power to weight ratio seems pretty good for this but there's no way it's an svo
The 2.3 came in lot of different vehicles from pinto's to rangers

With all these compliments, i can't figure out why dune buggies aren't more popular. (I mean 'cool ' buggies, not cheesy backyard 'sandrails'.. no offense meant ,of course)
How does the neighborhood like that thing? The desert is more fun for them.
I don't think they care. I have a lot of toys and never had complaints.
No complaints then all fun. Keep up the videos.
How the hell did you get it it mounted to a rear drive train I'm trying to do this on mine
This makes me think I should've kept my pinto motor 🤔
So how do you have the engine / trans setup? looks like it faces backwards; how do you get the trans to use forward gears in the right direction?
that is bad ass been wanting to make another one I sold one a long time ago and miss it bad
How much u want for it
Your neighbors must love you. lol
YOLO!!!
Get on it a little bit
*oh okay*
Nearly flips on the take off he wheelies that hard hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Oh okay
streetstunna600 Made me laugh hard hahahaha
@@CMX96 He went full Send!!! Doesn't know a thing about that half send it life!!!
streetstunna600 Hahaha that is the right way to approach things🤣
Where is the turbo from the svo? But cool buggy
Gear box oposite side ?? 🤔 How ?
You're going to have to teach pop to feather that throttle when hes nose up.
if you are planning on going woods riding you should beef up the front suspension.
I don't own it anymore. I bought it to drive on the street in the local Buggy club. It did pretty well doing that!
cool
Hey man good job. Very cool.
That's incredible. You selling it by any chance?
That's stick shift!! Awesome!! How many gears?
holy cow man. that is tight bro. it got power
wait, did he just wheelie
That thing is absolutely unreal
put a little turbo run about 7-9 psi and that thing would be really wicked
Sweet build man , I thought motorcraft was a NAPA brand , sick welds too
That thing is a beast 💨
What are the pros and cons of the different front ends and suspension. When it comes to the axle been style or the type with A arms?
If I had the chance to build a sand rail / dune I would put in a smaller cc turbocharged or supper charger or even hayabusa engine tunned the buggys are really light compared to a little car
One of my buddies in high school had a Mustang with this engine, I have never been in a slower car in my life.
idontcare80 That’s a really cool story! Those things were tanks as well. Bigger pistons and much less weight make it a bit more fun.
That was a 3000lbs car... this is maybe a 1000ish lbs big difference
PistonAvatarGuy Ford had to detune those cars so they didn’t out run the 5.0s..... Mmmhmmm, think about that one for a second.
why is the front wheel track so much wider than the back?
It's really great build!
Maybe I missed something, and it's dumb question, but here motor and gearbox are rotated in other direction than in standard car, so how it rotates wheels in right direction? I mean all gears front, one rear
A little late but look up a vw bug
How much did it cost all together? Body and fixing it up?
Does it have a rear diff or is it chain drive
You were ashamed to say Pinto engine?
SVO was turbo was it not?
Rich Wood You can add a turbo to anything. I'm not ashamed to say that it has any engine bigger than a VW beetle engine... I'm going off the information that was givin to me when I bought it. Said it was a 2.3 out of a mustang bored over to a 2.5.

Great Neighborhood! A bunch of old people that enjoy watching me do wheelies and enjoy seeing all my new toys. No HOA around these parts!!!! Thank God!!!
Think you need a weight on the front to keep the front wheels down LOL
And the svo motor is a turbo, where is your turbo?
Never said truck motor. So motor. Didn't need the turbo. It's laying here in the garage though.
Bet it pisses the neighbors off lol. I love itt!!!!!!
Between this, my motorcycles, 727hp mustang, rock crawlers, 4 wheelers and jeeps! They get an ear full!!! I do work for them though so that keeps them happy!
That thing would be cool if it had a complete rebuild with a 3.0l or even an sr20 and someone that could actually drive one!
It all ready pretty sick
ur neighbors must love you
That they do! Considering most of us ride motorcycles together and have block parties. They all play with all my toys!

Is he in Canada
Thought you said it was and 83 svo motor then you say it doesn't start because it I truck motor , which is it?

Whats the thickness of the piping you used?
Chuck Norris It is a 95" deluxe 2 seat longback frame with a little modification to make things work.
How much did you sell it for
Nice! Front suspension is sloppy.that landed hard
Did you loose the turbo or what ?
Yeah man, unfortunately I lost it. It fell off.

Very cool. Was the frame totally custom or with mods by you? Are plans or kits available?
Dont bother, its a shit frame, too many bending forces in it
