Here's my older beam'd Sand Limo! (I sure think it's a Sand Limo at least) It used to be turbo 2276 and I've since swapped a J35a4 into it and it's awesome! Nothing like bombing through the trails faster than SxS's with 3 of your heavy buddies and all the power to push through still!

Here’s the only clip I got of me racing this weekend! The buggy did excellent and was the fastest out of our group! (A few 3800’s, some VW’s, an ecotec and a Outfront turbo Subaru) definitely glad I decided to go with the Honda swap. The first two days I ran on with the 4500rpm limit and it was...

It’s together and runs! Complete with exhaust and working radiator fans😎 the only problem it’s having is that it has a limiter at 4500rpm for some reason. Guessing it’s thinking it’s in park/neutral, if anyone knows a workaround or a different factory ECU I could swap from a manual maybe I’m...

Finally got my adapter plate in and got everything mounted up today! Didn’t get water lines plumbed but fired the engine up and it sounded good! Going to do a 2-1 1 3/4 tubing to single 2.5” muffler in hopes to get rid of the burble v6’s with duals seem to have. Super excited to give this thing...

Is there any good sources of information for the 3 rib case 091/094 internal transaxle out of the TDI vanagons? Wondering if it’s the same case dimensions and mounting as a 3 rib but just 6 rib internals or what the difference is. https://www.facebook.com/share/1D1EGA1i4K/?mibextid=wwXIfr

How much spacer is too much spacer?😬 I assume I shouldn’t go higher than the factory spacer already is. If I can though I’d strongly consider it

I ordered through Moore Parts. I called both pacific customs and Kennedy and they said it was 4-6 weeks but I didn’t try weddle. Moore had free shipping and $30 off

I agree. Waiting to see where it truly mounts when the adapter plate comes in. Hoping the 4-6 week lead time is just them shooting high and it’s quicker!

Yes, I drilled the fuel rail mount bolts and was planning on plugging the EGR hole. Luckily I didn’t do anything besides the rails being that it won’t work for me

Flipped intake doesn’t really work for me :/ I’m okay cutting tubes and adding new as my dad has a tubing bender but I was hoping to avoid it

Flipping the intake does look like it sets it up just right! I really like the color scheme on your intake and plan on styling mine the same.

I’ll never miss it because I’ve still got two old school buggies with VW power😄 I do have to admit I’m excited to have reliable, easily/cheaply replaceable good stock power! Next on the list will just be a trans to hold when this one inevitably blows up

Hopefully the Flat-as-Kansas torque curve is even better being that’s where the buggy lives! I’d love to eventually do a 6-1 header but also the Hot Head Headers look super slick! Any suggestions for mufflers?

Replacing the turbo 2276 in my what I assume is an old beam’d Sand Limo

Got my J35 in as close of place as I can without my adapter plate today! Excited to see it come together
