That looked like so much damn fun!!! Thanks for sharing this with us. Time for another crazy project like this?! 😁😁
Now do a fully upgraded Nissan Skyline GTR
Did you even modify the breaks or are they stock?
Np my dudes
I am in for my 7th time watching this video
47 minutes of MCM! Christmas has come early!
hi mumbo im your fan
+Mumbo Jumbo Hold up. Mumbo? I didn't know you were a fan of MCM!
+Mumbo Jumbo Wow didn't know you are a fan of MCM. I am one too. As well I am a fan of yours. One more reason to like you more
Mumbo, mcm Don't do redstone
ayy lmao they do cars instead
Imagine pulling up to a red light, getting ready to launch, just having a night of fun. Then some old beetle pulls up and hands you the whole menu to Gapplebees
Lmao 😂
That'll be very depressing lol
L🤣
LMAOO
I had a zxr750 when I was 17, it was a seriously fast bike, yet I got absolutely smashed once against a vw camper van, god knows what that thing was running
@@kanehood3478 an apolo7 space rocket
Holy shit this was 8 years ago?! Remember when this came out
now youre old ! HA
Having driven a 1974 Type II Beetle with a stock 1.6L dual port 4 with 54hp what I wouldn't have given to have an extra 50hp. Drove that Bug for 8 years through high-school and undergraduate school. Every Sunday night through ski season three of us piled in, ski's on the rack and head up to Mt Hood on HWY 30, east of Portland, Oregon. From Zig-Zag on we were in 3rd gear red lined at 42mph all the way, and down to 2nd gear if we were going to Timberline Lodge. Carried chains, tow strap, etc but never chained up in 7 years. It wasn't the fastest, but it was reliable and never let us down. Best thing I ever did was to put Bilstein shocks all the way around with radials. It came with bias-ply tires originally, and put an aftermarket disc brake kit on it. It was my daily driver so I kept it fairly stock. But the brakes, shocks and tires were a huge improvement. I remember doing a total brake job with everything replaced for $86
Oh god, woke up to see both MCM and Haggard have uploaded a video. Good morning!
+GTA5Videos Is this jelly
+GTA5Videos Get in from a 6am start at work to a MCM video. MATE YOU DONT KNOW HOW HAPPY IAM GETTIN.
+GTA5Videos Haggard? What are you... Twelve?
You watch mcm? Madddd
+GTA5Videos I got back from school and was so exited to see what they did.
Also i want to see what the Haggard's paintjob looks like my mate spray painted his Honda C50C and a Honda Chaly i sold to him both look ok
358hp at the wheels, with stock 1.5in drum brakes all around. As someone who drives and works on old air cooled Vws that is a bold move cotton
Here in aus the 74 superbug has power asisted front disc brakes, still scary with that power
@@tangybuttfrogfpv8772 I think the 74 L had generally McPherson in the front with disc brakes. But there's some madness with going this fast 😜
Yep my 2332cc didn't take long before it killed the transaxle in quite short fashion
@momoloo141 the air cooled never had boost assisted brakes any way bigger brakes mean nothing if your sliding flat spots on your tires.
I watched the 🦄 this morning and had to come and watch this again.
Did you order the poster?😮. I did 😂
@@Rctrilogy No mate, I don't like them 🤦🏼♂️
Holy. This was 5 years ago
I was waiting for the transmission to blowup.
+Carmicha3l Fairly certain it was
+Carmicha3l Pretty sure that's what the blurb at the end was about with them having to dial it back ~100Kw while they futz with the transmission.
+Lord Malachi Or, related to that rather.
+Carmicha3l it was. did you watch the same video as everyone els?
+Carmicha3l Yea It Was :p
2020. Still loving this.
Yeah, definitely. Rewatched it so many damn times, still incredible.
Me too
Same
2021. Still loving this.
@@isaiahdinkel5405 oh...really?
I made a sleeper once. I started with a Toyota Celica, bone stock. Then I put my cat in his carrier, put the carrier across the passenger seat, then drove seven hours to Bozeman. Every time I glanced in on him he was racked out asleep. People had no idea what kind of sleeper they were dealing with!
Lol
I’m so impressed by the original transmission!!
Smart to use a Subaru engine for it to be a sleeper, you'll even fool VW guys because it'll still be leaking oil
😂
that one hurt...
Yeah, just before Subaru engine melts VW gearbox...
This is late but, we should all appreciate that a grown ass man jumped on Mike and he stood there like nothing happened. What a fuckin unit.
They didn't show times because they sand-bagged both the New Beetle and the Silvia to accent just how good the yellow Beetle is. Which, honestly, they didn't need to do. For those of us that 1/4-mile drag, you recognize that those gaps were WAY, WAY to distant between those vehicles to have been a REAL race. Especially with the Silvia.
been watching MCM for about 12 years now and wanted to dive back into the archives.
the EJ25 swapped beetle has always been a dream build for me so I decided to rewatch this video to re ignite the excitement for me to get my hands dirty and jump into this build myself.
speaking of dream builds I have always wanted to do an EJ25 inside of an old 1967 Volo 122s amazon, the car was Volvos introduction into rally and it is a mad little car, and it is an absolutely beautiful car, and I highly recommend you looking into getting your hands on one for some future content.
I love this channel and will support this channel as long as you guys are making videos.
this videos at 11M views, 154K likes, 20.8K comments.
good on you guys!
honestly with tech nowadays, i would sort of expect something that seems impossible, like a fiat 500 with a racing truck i6 where the passanger seat should go
Let us know the progress of your EJ25 :D maybe MCM can also share you info
Same! I remember when this video dropped. Does not feel like 7 years 😢
For those of us still using Imperial British measurements here in the USA and UK, that 267kw
= 358hp! A freaking BEAST!
@usermcgee Stock 1974 VW Beetle weight
1800 lbs...
Stock 2017 Chevrolet Camaro Curb weight
3,339 to 4,113 lbs depending on the model...
You were saying?
@usermcgee not as much as you're thinking lol. It definitely won't be pristine around a corner because they built it as a straight line machine... But with the better wheels and some go-to tuning to the springs and camber, it's gonna be pretty decent. Enough with your Need For Speed knowledge bro
@usermcgee its a drag car...its meant for straights
@usermcgee LMAO do you really have nothing better to do than reply to a bunch of comments saying that beetles are heavy? I bet ur a 12 yr old who that thinks he knows stuff cuz he plays forza!
@usermcgee why do you feel the need to spread lies about the beetles curb weight?
42:50 the aero force on the side mirror physically pushes the mirror in.
I would have added two lightweight, chromed, stock-looking, dummy tailpipes that bolt on under the back end of the car to really sell the notion that IT IS a stock VW Bug...because when one builds a serious sleeper street car, one cannot go TOO far. ;)
Here in 2023
An absolute brilliant build 👏 🔥
Well done gents
I see a lot of comments on "sand bagging" etc, and I don't think so at all. A 1200 pound car with 350 HP is going to accelerate really really fast, even with the really LONG 3rd/4th gear of the Super Beetle transmission. It's power to weight ratio, kids. It's why a 700 HP Hellcat only runs 11s but a little front wheel drive Honda Civic with 700 HP runs 9s.
u should listen those cars and see how much brpm they are giving before changing gear
true that!
Hurray, an intelligent comment (finally). (Not you, Pasi Timonen)
I jizzed my pants when I saw the notification that Mighty Car Mods uploaded a new video
And it's 40 minute long
+Shreevo MightyCumMods
+MrJustapersn BAHAHAHA WTF
+Shreevo same but the car let me down just a bit
+Shreevo you're a bit premature aren't you?...
Quite a lot of recent comments crying "fAkE" - like, ok mate, you drive it then.
267KW or so with a factory weight of 816kg, (generously) call it 900kg with the bigger engine, then delete some weight as it's now 2WD instead of 4WD.
I own a car with 305KW and a factory weight just under 2,000KG, but my old, tuned 1.6L Veloster running 21LBS of boost would have given it a serious run for its money in a drag race and probably beaten it.
fAkE! Well, perhaps you should learn a bit about cars before commenting nonsense, in fact, I know a great channel you can learn from!
One thing you DID forget hahaha - "With GREAT power comes BRAKE responsibility!" ... But.. This is the second time I've watched this episode (first time when you did it, and now in March 2022) and STILL LOVING IT!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏 😎🇬🇧
That 267.4KW is 358.5WHP!
+papakfmcnados king cool thanks
Dude
And around 400+ in the engine.
prillzor yeah most likely around the 400 mark at the flywheel
+papakfmcnados king Also remember in down under their dynos read lower too. So this might be over 400 wheel in NA.
So this is Supras inline6 that youtube experts were hearing in the trailer?
+Laurynas S. made my night that comment cheers man
+Laurynas S. hey I called a bug with a Subaru boxer from the piston in the trailer. I am a smug individual tonight. Was kinda hoping they would do something with the new FA rather then the old EJ.... but happy non the less
Good job man good ears
lol
+Laurynas S. Well, I did say it was a Porsche. And, I was kinda, right...
It's hilarious when it starts the first time n their jumping around but the guys in the shop are kinda jus like yeah it runs
You can always make something go if you chuck enough cash at it. Making it stop is also a good idea and beetle brakes were only JUST enough at 30 horse 🙂
That rear radiator install must have been a breeze.
Marty is just radiating with puns!
da dum tssh
I watched because in 1969 I put a Buick V6 in the back of my '59 bug, L6-15 tires on the back, 25 feet of 1 1/2" radiator hose and 5 gallons of antifreeze. A Lark radiator cut into the front. It did 120mph in the quarter. I rebuilt the original tranny 4 times, every time I missed the 2nd-to-3rd shift it would weld the gears into 4th gear. I drove it close to 30,000 miles before moving on.
That bug just looks pretty normal to me, doesn't seem enraged at all... 😉
To anybody curious, 268 KW = about 350 brake horse power. Good job. If you put some more work into the front wheels, frame, balance of the car, etc., you can get some more stability and a couple more KPH out of that thing. There's no reason that shouldn't be a 10 sec car. Just get that junk Trans unit out of there and build something to handle what "The Rock's" got cookin'!!!
I know you spent a stupid amount of money building that car but, I'm quite certain you can make it all back, a couple hundred at a time on the local street races. 😀 I'm a Mopar, muscle car man, myself but, that makes me want to build another bug.
When I was a kid, if we wanted a sleeper we took something like a Dodge Dart, pulled out the 6cyl (or 318, if it was "peppy") and pulled a hemi and adjoined 1 tonn 4spd out of some old work truck, went through the engine and viola, you had a sleeper. There were plenty old road cars with 440s, 383, etc. to be had for a few hundred ucks. Just yank the motor and stuff it in an old shitbox (with some work put into it, of course) and you were off to the races. Thank the EPA for screwing up cars as we know it. Even today's big horse power cars have to have so many restrictions and qualifications that they cost 70 grand. It's not just an engine and some steel that cost all that, it's figuring out how to do it and still meet smog and MPG ratings that takes all the brains, people's and computer's, that's the issue. And the epa has done more harm that good over the years, get rid of them and start over. We'd all be better off...
And I had a '75 Super Beatle, the same, exact yellow colour with fuel injection and a 5spd that would haul ass. 😆
The big thing in my time was to pull the engine and shove a juiced up Porche engine in it. Then you're long gone.
My only problem with it was that I'm so big that when I had my winter coat on, I couldn't shut the door because my shoulders were to wide. 😆 🤣
7 years later and it’s still my favorite one
It's one of my favorites too. It popped up so I decided to rewatch it too lol.

like.
My brother was racing his Kawasaki 1100 with nitrous at New England Dragway (north of Boston), pitted against a v-8 powered bug which lost steering control at 130MPH when his car lifted its nose like yours. The bug driver suddenly swerved all the way into my brother's lane, missing him by inches. The bug pilot was sent home and my brother received a nice nitrous boost of adrenaline.
1-Have a budget borderlining in bottomless (or be ready to lose your wife)
2-Have a place to work in and the tools to work with.
3-Buy a shitbox (the older and uglier the better).
4-Buy the heart and soul of a dragon.
5-insert soul and heart of the dragon in shitbox.
6-Test the Shitbox (it will break).
7-Fix it and make it more powerful.
8-The stronger and faster shitbox will break again.
9-Fix it (again)
10-Use your new Kombi to destroy everythig that dares to challenge you.
Supergramps vs Beetle! C'mon!
+LieutenantNuggets I was hoping theyd do that, perhaps marty was scared gramps was gonna lose... that beetle is not making that much less power either...
+PommyDownUnder98 probably after they get it back to 300kW power rating and while is a better p/w for the bettle, it has far less grip and aerodynamics so it would be interesting to see, especially if they dial up the boost on Super G. for it cos its running 11's on fairly low boost
+PommyDownUnder98 well, super gramps is AWD, which is a huge advantage, plus it has beefier tires in all 4 corners, and it also has a MUCH better tranny, so it would pretty much have the race in the bag.
+ElZamo92 not really, supergramps weighs considerably more than. the beetle and the beetle is putting out at least 357hp vs the S14. who knows what they dialed it up to vs the Porsche. @357hp and 1850lbs the beetle should do a mid 10 second quarter mile where as gramps is a 13 second car if I remember correctly. Plus Marty said he's never been in something this fast.
+Matthew Ray more boost on super gramps is a bad idea without new engine internals. The reason it's a low boost built is because the engine can't handle a turbo in the first place
being American the part where you were looking at an extra steering wheel freaked me out momentarily. I thought the wheel came off for a second.
troy barnhouse I thought he had taken it off to have a look
Sooo... UA-cam randomly suggests i watch this eight year old video, and 47 minutes later I'm on the Mighty Car Mods shop ordering the See You At The End MP3? Crazy times! Great video, and great music!
Back again for some nostalgia.
Moogs music is always awesome.
Beetle vs Supergramps?! Or is gramps just too good.
better to wait till they get it running at 300 kw I reckn it would own gramps
+Corey Cvetovac They've gotta do something to the chassis and suspension before giving it the full beans, that thing is a death trap otherwise.
+Corey Cvetovac beetle would smash gramps im afraid.
+RandomStuffSam Beetle would start having some serious grip problems at 300kw, gramps as awd.... it would be interesting
David Hill Very true, but im pretty sure with the race where the boost was turned up in the beetle, you can hear it breaking traction under throttle in 2nd-3rd
On stock brakes?! With over 10x the original power?! Bravo on everything else.
gamby16a welcome to Australia
you guys nailed the most important part of a sleeper that all the other channels get wrong
dont put fucking DRAG SLICKS on it then say "oh its a sleeper" just because it looks remotely stock
They looked like street spec tyres tbh
@@josh-hu4gb yeah. Which is good. Other channels will say "sleeper" but then it's got 2 foot wide slicks on the back
2021 and its still awesome
Tveklöst!
267 kilowatts is 358 horsepower....for those that don`t know.
Hooch thanks for your reply, I was wondering how many horsepower it was.
@Avery-John except for the big engine that had to weigh considerably more than its predecessor? all that weight on the back with nothing out front to balance it out?
As somebody who does pc case modding, and has done similar things to this but with computers, this show really speaks to me, I don't understand all of the more technical stuff but it's really amazing how similar the spirit and obvious love of what you do is to the pc and case modding community.
gloeing G so what... that doesn't mean he's not allowed to post a comend
yes it does.. they tune the ecu with pc's.... smh dumbass
So sick. And mad props to the guys who made this happen with the custom work.
The guy didn’t even try to race the beetle it’s like no logic there is no backlash or anything no excitement from the other guy but either way I love the build
I also feel the same
Well wouldn't be very exciting to drive a stock auto turbo beatle. And the 200sx his his car so he'll be use too it. And 911, guess it's auto also and it's not much too it take off and put your foot down. Think Moog was more forced on the car they built
Very true
RELEASED ON MY 17TH BDAY AND MY DAD JUST GOT ME MY FIRST FUCKING CAR OMG IM SO HAPPY I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH (its a 1.2 corsa sxi silver , 2005 model)
what car did u get?
+gamers swag 1.2 corsa, 2005 , really clean in silver
+Jack “Mr J.” Napier drop it on BBS wheels, the obligatory first car speaker upgrade, done ;) safe driving
+BubbaGTi XD and ofc sticker bomb for more bhp , going to need to lower it for even more BHP and paint it BLACK for even more power , will be mad
+Jack “Mr J.” Napier best of luck with it, share it on the mcm forum
Thanks for the 5,000,000 Views. We think it's time for another sleeper project...
ledgands!
What was the 1/4 mile time on the sleeper beetle?
Just watched it! as a bug and bus owner from days of old I'm stoked...time to get out the chainsaw and recover one from the woods. :P
honda beat sleeper plz
Mighty Car Mods yes please
I recommend tightening wheels, Clutch etc. crosswise, to avoid tensions.
I'm not good in explaining in english, I'm working in a german mechanical enigneering company, where we learned how it's done perfectly.
Love you guys!
7:05 i still love it after 7 years
All that power and no brakes.
1000% increase in power, but 0% increase in brakes. :D
and no suspension and stuff.. it's roadkill tactics (but at least they've built the engine to make the power relativly reliably and not only putting some massive blower on)
I had a yellow bug just like this one. It was old, rusty, holes everywhere.
I was so happy to see your new engine fly down the racetrack.
me too same color rusted to death , fun great car just an old worn out beetle unsafe above 70 mph , IDK about these guys
Lol, watching this video again years later and I realize that that's actually a nice beetle you guys were able to find. I can't help but think of all the purists really upset rn 😂😂
Great video guys :) 🇿🇦
It showed up on my news feed as well lol
Johnny Sins is a mechanic too? What an amazing man!
Lmao, underrated comment
while im watching this im wondering how the hell that gearbox is gonna handle 10x the power
Didn't they say they rebuilt the internals or something?
@@samadjavid3801 rebuilt the guts of the engine, didnt say anything about the gearbox. that said, they must have done somethign to it cause otherwise it absolutely would have grenaded itself
they said they built the tranny
Stay on 1/4 throttle and gbox be just fine, for a while...
@@sofielee4122 they were going to rebuild it but didn’t have time so they had to turn the power down to what you see in the episode, working on beetles it’s actually amazing what the transmission can handle,
"Eh, maybe it'll be clo-"
*Coked up old ass beetle absolutely crushes it*
...Damn...
Watching in 2021 and the handshakes, hugs and high fives look so foreign now. ‘Twas a happier time…
You can still do that if you just stop caring and shut off the media
Beetle v Supergramps you know it needs to happen
+Colin Watson +1,000,000 ----- and with time slips!
+Colin Watson Beetle V General Mayhem...
That's What I Was Thinking
the second I watched the video that's what I thought
Could you imagine taking this into a workshop for a service? the lads look at it knowing full well its a bug, but when they go to change the filters, only to find a Subaru engine, the fuckers would flip hard
I like how they let the music drown out the engine sound.
This was an excellent video and being a beetle modder myself I love how this transplant was specifically engineered; air to water cooler, rear radiator, etc. Absolutely tip top 👏👏
I bought a bug & while cleaning it up when I got home, I found half an ounce of weed under the back seat.
Needless to say, not much got done on the bug the rest of that day.
Trevor Jones, a little dry. I put in a couple of orange peels, came back good, well matured.
Cool, you got some Love Bud from your Love Bug. You should've named it Herby.
Not gonna lie, I was hoping to see a Supra or Skyline, I wasn't expecting it to be a sleeper or this even, but you guys really REALLY impressed me with this one! Great work :)
+Doctor Ernie the only problem with a supra and a skyline is there kinda boring, if you ask alot of teenagers through to mid 20 year old's what is your favorite car, the typical answer would be supra, skyline, Silvia, wrx, evo. I would rather see them do a beetle because it unique, not many people do stuff like this. ........... plus there is the question of $.
+J Brooksey Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved this beetle mod. I was only stating a Skyline or a Supra just because of all the hype from the fans over the past couple of months. I agree with you 100% :)
Mitsubishi gto/ 3000gt would be huge potential and super unique. Oh and not a shitty bug
+Doctor Ernie Supra or Skyline as a Sleeper? Do you drink enough milk in mornings?
+MrFoksijs The Aristo is a huge sleeper and it has the 2JZ-GTE in it, without the VVT-I (JZS-147). LOT'S of potential, and looks like a granny car IMO.
5 years ago!
Seems like yesterday, I still love this video, their best yet 😏
The sound track for this era of mightycarmods was surreal 🤙🏼🤙🏼 just straight out bangers!
Im from America, and when I saw Marty holding the steering wheel at 3:33 I thought it just came off the rack and he was just casually putting it out of sight lol.

No Super Beetle Vs Super Gramps? :o
+Stewiegaming Make it happen !
+Stewiegaming THIS HAS TO HAPPEN
the people have spoken
+Stewiegaming I'm 99% sure this will happen when they fixed the last problems and did all the fine tuning. SuperGramps is gonna loose for sure because of the massive weight difference.
Ultravore1 I'm not that sure . Gramps has more power + awd . Bug trucks at 200 kw no problem but at 300 i'm not so sure . Since they have variable boost on gears it will keep it down or it will just loose grip and spin it .
I'm watching this in 2021 but I love how you 2 went from some lads in your garage doing silly and fun mods to knowing all these people and doing some awesome builds 👌
Holy shit 6 years passed and this video feels like year old, i need to progres in my life
42:50 the driver side mirror starts folding in from the speed lol
Lol
I really wish you showed the official track times...
Dude I watched the Cresta episode... But this one is frigging awesome...how it just launched soft and walked away...made me smile!!!
Who else here in 2024
Edit: Almost 400hp gotta be INSANE in that thing.
Facts
There is no doubt that awesome bald headed VW mechanic is a Replicant from the Blade Runner Universe.
267kw is 358hp
thx
usermcgee the beetle weighs 1900 pounds
Nice! Really enjoyed seeing ALL of the work going into that mod. Most car mod shows DONT show what you guys did.. And again..you make it look like fun. Ive gotta agree..you are now the BEST car mod show on the net! ...(and Ive watched plenty!)....
The legend is true Herbie really does exist 😄
10x the power... no brake upgrade.. love it
a few accidents incoming 😂😂😂😂
Braking only get's the rims dirty
Naw they'll have addressed this by now.
Good thing they parted it out, that thing was too dangerous
1:16 A rare sight of Moog without a hat.. Just realised i haven't seen dudes hair since Martys driveway days
I'm 7 years late to this video but what a mad vid!!! I really hope you still have this beetle, it would be great to see it on a new video. Incredible
Sadly they stripped it down
This is my 5th time watching it and I’m still in love with it, can’t wait to see more of these crazy mad projects 🤘🏻2022
42:50 You can see mirror bending.
Pretty cool build. It wasn't fair all the cars were driven by a guy that wanted the beetle to win. You could tell on the last race when the beetle stalled and the Porsche didn't leave the line. He waited for the beetle to go and he sandbag ged it. I am not saying the beetle wouldn't have won but it wasn't a fair race.
+Christopher Bocook lol, it wouldnt have been a fair race if the car DIDNT move eh?
Usually when you race someone you at least make it off the line before you notice the other car didn't launch. The VW is awesome and I am sure it would have won but at least try.
+Christopher Bocook the second run the porsche caught up for a sec. whas he still not trying there to?
coolguy10060 I am not trying to argue just stating the facts. The second race shows how much he sand bagged it the first race. All I was getting at is have someone that doesn't care what car wins drive the opposing cars I think the VW is fast and it's an awesome build but be fair about it.
Okay well its true. I really wanna see super gramps against it that will be a fair race
Lets just appreciate this is nearly 500hp ... in a beetle
360hp actually but yea it’s impressive as hell
367kw on the rollers that’s 492hp ish
@@david667766 267kw*
Fuck stand corrected I’m saddened now still a killer car
Prob 400hp crank to get 360 to the wheels due to trans loss of power and wheels to the dyno.
At the end they mentioned lowering the power just to prevent blowing it up.
Either way this was not a cheap project lol... cost more than a used 911 for sure, but amazing end product.
Imagine a la cucaracha horn, a tiny beetle rolls up, and suddenly they fuckin smoke you
Why are so many people now hating on this? It’s a fast beetle. Let it be.
