1964 Beetle.

Ended up ordering a set of OBX racing throttle bodies. They are made in America.Not the best quality,but the only ones I could find the bolt directly to the Subaru heads.They normally cost about $900.I got them for $500,plus postage and import duty,so I thought I'd take a chance on them.

They look a bit weird with the massive red plenum chamber,but I might leave that off,and fit trumpets.Not sure what to do yet.

Also bought a load of stainless steel to try and make an exhaust.I have three exhaust here,but the ground clearance is not great with any of them.Just trying to figure out what might work at the moment.Have a couple of ideas sketched out.

Nice progress!! The ITBs will be cool. Do they come with ECU and loom etc? Or what are you going to use for management?

Thanks Trev.They don't come with ECU or loom.I will have to get an aftermarket ecu.Link make mappable ecu's that will plug into the loom I have,but I will have to find out if that could be made to work with this engine.Most of the wiring for the main sensors,injectors,and alternator look the exact same,but they're is one less cam sensor.Have a bit of figuring out to do there yet tbh.

Oh ya..nearly forgot..in other important news,my new cam covers look just like Podge and Rodge.
