    In this episode we're working on project bugford and swapping the transmission in my 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. Then we're taking it drag racing in the quarter mile to see what the time is.

    W00t! A Velocity Labs upload. Man I hope this show catches on and gets more views. The quality is much higher than a lot of the popular channels. (Watches up to 4:57). Wat? Math quiz?? Um, OK. I won't cheat.
    (Flails for maybe 15 seconds). BAH, I'M GONNA CHEAT. According to the first hit on a Google search, it's in the ballpark of 25 seconds and 60 MPH, but that's without any adjustment for altitude. That kinda matches up with my best guess during the flail time, because the only thing I could come up with is that the presenter said he wants to hit that general range, and he surely knows more than me, so it was my best guess.
    Truth told, I simply don't know how to calculate drag times, even though I've been working on my project car for a few years now. Even so, I'm glad the video brought up the topic. I don't live near a drag track, but if I want to keep getting better at car stuff, it will probably help to know basic stuff like this.

    Erik I wanted to let you know that if you look on UA-cam you can find some videos on how to widen your fenders on your Bugford so that they stay of metal not fiberglass like the hood. sincerely, Robert

      Fiberglass is lighter, better for drag racing

    I did removable rear myself but uses a fine cutting wheel between spot weld seam fast and clean...only drilled one spot weld per side and than opened seam with hammer and cold chisel...a dremel tool (I actually have a Foredom but I just lucky that way)with cutting wheel for a few but most with grinder and fine wheel

    I gave up on VW's when I had taken my pop top van engine out 3 times. Thought I had it all taken care of then the carb fell apart and gas spilled out all over the engine. Although I want another one now. ;) With a sube engine.

    I remember that Iron Maiden shirt. I only thought they sold it at the Chicago show for their '08 somewhere back in time tour. The June 11th massacre or something? I was too young and lacked in funds to buy it at the time unfortunately, but it was an amazing show. Anyway great video as always, and I am looking forward to more turbo madness!

    • @VelocityLabs
      @VelocityLabs  7 років тому +1

      I was at that show! :D And every other Maiden Chicago show since (it's one of my favorite cities to visit). They sold it online afterwards as well but without the tour dates on the back.

    My best guess? I have no frame of reference for drag times at all, so I'lol say that it runs a 23.45s/67mph pass (see what I did there?).

    DO NOT use urethane engine / transaxle mounts unless you’re building a track only car. Use quality rubber! The added noise and vibration make for a horrible driving experience! Use a rubber isolated traction bar and frame horn supports. That will be good enough for a 12 sec car

  • @Finnishguy55
    @Finnishguy55 7 років тому

    @VelocityLabs hey ive got a question for you. I have a boost controller at 14 psi, and my turbo's waste gate is at 7 psi. when I floor it it will build up to 14, hit it, and then trail down to about 7. do I have to upgrade my waste gate to hold 14 consistently?

    • @VelocityLabs
      @VelocityLabs  7 років тому

      Could be that, could be the turbo too. If you have a smaller turbo (13g, 14b, td04, etc) they typically fall out of their efficiency range at higher rpms, so the boost will fall off. Although I think the most likely candidate is a boost leak, I'd do a boost leak test to 20psi and go from there. Good luck!
