The Dung needs an airduct from the roof to the turbo, and an expasion tank for the coolant. Also the fuel tank needs to be 4" further back. Additional ducting would help the radiator, but how to build it is a bit trickier than usual.. Lifting the frunk from the hinges for about 2" would be a decent start.
i like cars
Maybe a small auxiliary radiator externally mounted on nose
Total agree
200 is about normal for Subaru motors, also the OE pump might be struggling to move water to the front radiator setup, could go completely electric relatively easily and have complete control over flow/volume. All in all Iâd say itâs healthy and you really donât have to worry until itâs in the upper 220s and not coming back down
I totally agree
Glad you're still around. Enjoy your work. Thanks
DUNG BEETLE ROCK!!!!! SO GLAD IT'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never a dull moment with both of you guy are together!!!
I donât think I stopped smiling and laughing for the whole video đ€ŁđȘđŒđđ»
I think the very first time we seen The Dung Beetle is was a instant fan favorite.
Hah hah, the Dung Beetle lives!! Considering the outside air temp, I'm surprised it stayed as cool as it did! You may need to make a shroud of sorts to direct more air into that radiator and maybe a stronger fan. And for Pete's sake, get that fuel pump in some rubber mounts. Gawd, that thing is *LOUD!!* You'll definitely need some wheelie bars once you get the kinks out and start making some good power with that Subie motor! Heck, you can pull the front wheels with a well-built 2130 cc bug engine! You can pretty much predict what a Subaru engine will do making close to twice the horsepower!!đđ It already sounds pretty healthy up on the pipe, just in the short pull you did! Nice work guys!!đ
Great to see car back out, wish could see whole OG street outlaw crew together again. Keep it up.AZN
I love the Subaru powerplant! Man this thing is a work of art!
Sure you guys are working out the kinks by now! Iâm doing this conversion on my own beetle and what I learnt about the cooling system is with a radiator itâs more important getting air out of the back than in the front of it if that makes sense
It makes sense because f more air is leaving the back it creates a negative air pressure inside(ie a vaccume) which inturn sucks more air in from the front
@@ashenthrenchetty7 đŻ I am even making a front splitter for mine with a âgernyâ flap type deal to help create more of âsuctionâ effect
Some louvers in the sides behind the front fenders would probably help too!đ
Yea I'm doing a vr6 swap I'm planning on running radiator up front cut a grill. But put a cylinder fuel cell up on the Frunks "firewall" and weld nuts on the bottom and have a screen insert over the front steering mechanisms. That should do the trick.
@@chrissweetavena Why a VR6? Sounds like a lot of work for minimal returns fitting that large engine in a bug. Seems like you'd have to take the entire firewall out because it's so high... or stick it way out the back.
I think you'd be better off with the 2.5 flat 6 from a bus, that engine bolts right in the back of a bug, is air-cooled so no need for a radiator, they make bore kits for it... even 4 valve per cylinder kits so you could probably make it way faster..
If you're after power, a flat 6 with a 3.0 bore kit and 24 valves would blow the doors off a 12 valve 2.8 VR6. Even if they make the same power and torque the air-cooled engine will be much lighter.
Liquid cooled is cool but then the boxer 4 turbo from a Subaru would fit easier and be an easier swap that's less intrusive to build into your chassis..
Not knocking btw, it's your car and you should do whatever you want to your stuff off course so if you want to do the LC conversion with the vr6 more power to you... just wondering.
This is awesome, glad to see the beetle getting some more love!
Thanks for being good honest genuine people with a passion we all share for Automotive performance
You mentioned possible air in cooling system .Where is highest point ? Maybe add a bleeder aka fill point at engine depending on height ... Love this car !
Old VW guy here -- Seen the Subi swaps a lot --- The best way is to move the rear fire wall forward 10-12" and move the radiator into that new area -- supply some fresh air ducting into that and almost all your cooling problems will be over.... you'll be fighting that front radiator and air bubbles forever... Do a little youtube research and you'll find some Assie guys that have done that to get you some video help.
Mark is badass! He knows his stuff!
New tune and time to go fishing woo!! The dung beetle's back
so glad to see you guys still going strong wish I could just come out and help you work on something and hang out just to laugh my ass off you guys are hilarious
SUNGS OUT DUNGS OUT!!!! HELL YEA..
The Dung is my favorite drag car by far! Love to see it!
Video has got Louâs touches. Great to see the dung back rollin.
Back wheels wanting to go around,tell me about it.I had a CJ5.đłđ
Air bubbles in the system would definitely explain the cooling issues. Have you tried vacuum filling it? Itâs the best way to eliminate bubbles đ
I agree. I vacuum fill all the cars I work on. I just do it so I donât have to worry about it.
Not necessarily the radiator might be to small I'm thinking.
Or easy way is to jack the front off the car up very hi and leave for 24 hrs too
Awesome to see them two hotrod together again đŻ
Luv the dung beetle,hope to see more of it,farm truck& dung beetle, street racing for cash would be the best!!
Man that Bettle is the DUNG. Love that car!!!!!!
Glad for the new SO series, if you can't legally drive it on the street it's a track car!
I got to meet them in Ohio. It was the first time in my life i ever been to a live event! of any kind. It was the best bday to meet them. They are the only reason I ever started watchin Street Outlaws.
nice to see that Dung Beetle rolling around town
One thing that comes to my mind with the cooling is the one thing that many people overlook. I have saw cars that did not have a thermostat in overheat, and run cooler once the thermostat was in just because the thermostat made a resistance that kept the water in the radiator longer. When dealing with temperature problems on custom cars it's very easy to not think about the fact that water has to stay in your radiator long enough to get cool. Not sure what the situation is because you have a rear engine car which I normally would know to be air-cooled but I know you have a radiator up front with a lot of hoses. Whatever your setup is you guys are smart just remember to make sure that your your water is staying in the radiator long enough to get cooled down.
The Dung sounds beautiful
That fuel pump really is music to the ears đŹ
It's always good to see you guys.đ
thanks for watching bro!
Never thought I'd say I like DUNG ever !
It's nice to see the dung beatle out and about again can't wait
Wow brilliant love the old beetle too đ§đ§đ§đ§đ§
That's pretty cool, the Dung on upgrades.
That Subaru motor sounds great.
Time for a S-10 farm truck or a short wide C10, short wheelbase to match the dung beetle size, then run it in the small tire races. Love the Dung! That's my favorite OnCue you keep passing
NICE MY BROTHA! IN TRUE FASHION IT'S "THE DUNG BEETLE" ALONGSIDE "THE OL' FARMTRUCK" ...IM DIGGING THIS! đŻđ
That Dung Beetle has risin' !!!
It's alive, it's alive!!.. baddest thing on the street...it's a legend.
Thanks for Reppin the Jegs shirt Azn!
That's badass! Can't wait to see you guys on the street again!! FARMAGEDDON!!!
Farm truck, idk if you guys look at the comments, but Iâve always love watching your guys funny clips and stuff in street outlaws and CZcams, thanks for the fun over the years.â€ïž
You need to build a tube frame and fiberglass body for the farmtruck. Now thatâs entertainment
You guys are just so enjoyable to watch. It makes 2 hours 3 hours go fast. Continued success. From Pennsylvania.
13:48 FT "now we make double that" LOL!!!!
Yes!
4:41 A vertical shifter đ€Ł ! I knew you'd have to have one of those eventually . Peace and respect from an old hippy in UK . Oops , I said that out loud didn't I ? I love you guys . Pete
The stars of street outlaws!
You guys are great at what you do!
Dung Beetle President !
Effen A! FNA! Trash the front lid, replace with an uncut one. Great seeing yaâll back again.
Ive had a few bugs back in the day i had a 1959 vw Beattel 36 hp motor all original,ive allways loved the Dungbettel and watched it evolve into what it is today đŻđŻđŻđŻđŻ
Cool to see the Dung back out. Guy I hung out with in the 90s had a V-gate shifter in his 70 SS Chevelle. The modern version is way better. It was still badass for the time.
I missed seeing that car in action. Such an impressive combo.
Don't know if you guys will read this but some jeep style hold downs could possibly work great on dung beetle. Also I need another don't trust the rust bandana
Love the dung box brothers
It's about time the dung gets love.awesome video guys always watching thanks
Love the dung beetle.
The sickest boxer swap of all time! I love the history behide it and the farmtruck!
That fp is insane! Good gawd how could they stand that!
I love the Dung Beetle and love the sound of that turbo. Can't wait to see it with everything tuned and good and it making a hit. it's gonna be cool
Love the content. Fab work and motor work
Heck Yeah!
Sweet ride fellas
Ita great to see the bottle bk on the road still looking amazing car
You guys need your own street outlaws season! You guys make the shows 10x better
sweet ride,sounds good
I want to go back to when Steve was cutting the hood up. The world was a better place đ«€
Need to set the fuel tank back as far as possible or go to a shallower depth but wider tank, the fuel tank is definitely having an effect on the air flow out of the rad.
Mount the fan as a puller not a pusher unit to draw cold air in....now all that air that's passed through the radiator also has to be funnelled out.
If you follow the chrome side trim, there's a small triangular area behind the front guard that finishes at the panel gap. I'd cut out this area as much as possible and then weld in some mesh, it'll help with moving air through the rad. allowing it to exhaust.
If the under bonnet/hood temps. Are still high you could add a small thermo fan, biggest that'll fit, to the inside of the mesh area to force that hot air out. You could set them up to turn on via relays switched to ignition, on a stand alone thematic switch or pinned in to the haltech using an IAT sensor set at the desired temp.
Fitting a header/coolant expansion tank would also be a worthwhile idea, find one that has the right amount/sized outlets for your application.
I've personally fitted/used, with fantastic results, vw/Audi expansion tanks with the mounting hardware sourced from a wrecking yard.
Canât wait
Move the fuel pump đȘ
Exciting.
Love you all. Lou you are a master with the camera. GGs
Love the dung.
Iâm glad to see the Dung back in action ever since I last saw it on Street Outlaws, I might wanna copy your setup one day Azn, except put the engine in the front and LS swap it
Get it done we like it
Yup, probably an air pocket if it's really traveling from front to rear and back for cooling.
Coolest guys in the 405
Jack the front of the car open bleeder at the radiator if no bleeder cracked the hose just slightly. You will see bubbles let idle for a few minutes. Do the same procedure raising the back of the car opening the bleeder at the engine. if no bleeder crack a hose let run for a few minutes itâll make a world of difference we install the Subaru engine can VW buses here in Fresno California and that is our bleed procedure temperature will stabilize Subaru engine will be happy. Good luck đ you guys are AwesomeâŠ.
I'm og farmtruck fan
I'm not just saying this it really works. Zmax had a prostreet 57 that had an overheating issues after zmax it ran 30 degrees cooler. A few years later had a Yamaha vmax that started overheating and same solution had about the same results 30 degrees cooler
Love the fact they're getting back to small tire production based cars. I remember when pulling up to the line in what was basically a promod would start a fight pretty quick.
It's cool to see such a crazy build and hear y'all talking about such "normal car" stuff, does the radio work lololol
I understand the cut up hood is a personality thing of the car. I hope it grows out of this faze and does some self improvement and try something different but still keeping it individual look
Get that radiator blacked out boys. Helps with the sleeper aspect.
Can't wait to see the Dung Beetle bust out a can whoop ass on the 405 Crew and who ever else wants some also I hope to see some fishing again who agree's with me
Idk if you know this but uhhh, farmtruck and azn are a part of the 405 crewđ
@@silence3314 he is talking about some list raceing bro which is the plan for these 28.10 .5 cars
@@silence3314 Yes I know this and both of them will be racing against all of the 405 and other people on the New season of the 405 show on small tires and they might be doing some racing on the END GAME show you never know
@@Mr18031967 I know bro Iâm trolling
@@silence3314 lol
Great video gentleman.
Bring it to Ice Cream Cruise!!!
I really enjoy watching you guys. I haven't been able to watch y'alls show. I don't have cable. I did get to watch yall on the og street outlaws show when I did have cable. Y'all seem cool to hangout with. I would like to be y'alls friend and hang out.
It's a good thing that fuel pump isn't too loud! Badass car. Maybe cut larger holes in the frunk and duct air to the radiator.
Man, I'd love a ride in the Dung! Been a minute since I've come to visit, and I don't have an excuse since I'm 2 miles from the Firehouse. You guys were the main reason I watched SO. And I'm still down for that scooter race any time!
Hey Farmtruck, the short wheelbase can also be an advantage, if you guys are running streets, the short wheelbase will allow hookup where others can't
I had a big smile on my face when azn said that the dung will be back that ones one of the biggest reason I tuned in to the other then tale farm truck
That's good temp for subaru
Yeaaaaah đ€đœđ€đœđ€đœ thanks for bringing it back
Add a port at the engine end to use a vacuum pump such as a brake bleeding pump to pull air from the cooling system. You can also add a pressurized cooling system as in Nascar or circle track cars.
More film guys!!!!!
tnx for the video
Good to see you 2 back đđ
Needs a black California license plate that reads OFP 857
I gotta say I really enjoyed these videos! I really like this more laid back and tamed farm truck and azn!
