Ive been thinking about making a surge tank setup for awhile. But on my next buggy its going to have a custom tank with baffles and a sump so I shouldn't need a surge setup.

brakes and paint and it will be done








cant wait to go for the first time

you turn your rear torsions up any?

No but them coil overs are 8" overs for frontends and i pushed them down 2" load on them with the buggy off the ground then it fell from 15" to where its sets now 12.5 with 31's

Its not the best idea but didnt have money for good coilovers but on the list

Theres more options then just coil overs for suspension. Im just turned up the torsions a few degrees and running truck air shocks

guys how much more does the Eco weigh compaired to a vw

305lbs dressed so I have heard. That's only 31lbs more than myself.

I have seen where alot of baja racers out west say car over all weight changing 80-100 lbs

constructive criticism - I dont like the exhaust, just way to big an gotty. Other then that nice work.

Wish in PA we were able to get our buggy's street legal! NOT FAIR! lol

Thanks and its all good I like the way it sounds but it is bigger the what I was thinking it would be.

Turned out good, maybe I will get around to converting mine someday.

I'll try and get numbers from mine, it's for a cadi, don't even hear it.

You will really like it, the power just keeps coming. I really liked mine after it was done but after getting it in the woods I LOVE THIS THING. also BTW I have a harnesse and ECU + everything to go wire drive if you need one i will make you a deal I need it gone



I put air shocks on it this weekend. After a good ride last weekend the aZZ was on the ground

have you got to run it hard yet whenever i run mine hard it shuts down and i cant figure out why

My buggy has the older brother to the ecotec, a QuadFour. The Eco is for my daughters buggy.

You can bolt any water cooled motor you can dream up but the weight will not allow you to apply full throttle without the front end lifting up and over and flipping. If you dissagree your motor ain't got enough power to do it.I wish someone would take the ball and look into a 2000 and up Passat mid engine configuration and make an easy 200plus H.P. set up.No motor adapter starter clutch carbs etc. to buy. Rite out of the car and you are done uhhhhh!93 octane all day!

some caint
