Installing a Supercharger on a VW Bug!

- This week is a fun one! My brother Bill T (host of Let's Talk Dubs Podcast) brings his 65 RAGCHOP over to install a Kompressor Haus Ultimate kit. Bill can't find the emailed instructions so we wing it. We hit some hurdles, but we got over them to get it done. BIG difference in power for sure.

A 36 HP fan shroud w/o heater ducts would look great!
Not happening. 🤣
Seen it at Cars and Coffee it looks like a great install look like cool Parts too I want to go for a ride
Sounds like IBlameBlain for music. Good work guys and very informative. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nice and clean brother!
Absolute killer. Amazing stuff !
Kompressor Haus launched the Slammed version of this recently which means you don’t need stand offs. You need an easy access alternator, all the regular outlets sell them in the UK, then the thing just fits under your regular deck lid. Maybe you can get just the parts to mean you can do that 🤷🏼♂️
I’ll put Bill on the hunt for those upgrades. I’d love to not put standoffs on the bug. I think they are hideous. Plus his chop top looks so much better with it’s Decklid in its proper place.
I thought that’s where you’d be at. Hopefully Bill can source the parts, and looking forward to seeing more on this car, again thanks for your time and response.
Interesting install. Either the music is too loud or the voicing is too quiet. I had to keep adjusting the volume. Also, the text at the bottom of the screen is shown too quickly. Cannot read it without pausing. This should be a very helpful video for anyone wanting to install one of these units. You showed how much time it took and the pitfalls! LOTS of fitting,, re-fitting and adjusting.
Great job I could see the struggle and know there are no true bolt ones. Everyone is running different stuff every application will be different. Stealth alt works and such. ..... ❤Those heater boxes are legit..... 😂
Deck lid standoffs definitely not . Cb makes some nice stacks and covers for that
Great upload,..sounds nice
That car is even badder than i ever thought!!!
Hell yea!!
Love it.
Nice clip - very informative! Think you can’t clock the generator like you do unless you alter the backing plate to make the cooling slot point down - or the gen will not get cooled… or maybe you did this of camera… ;-)
It was not clocked. When we pull the motor for the transmission swap we will address it then.
Made the installation of a brand new blower onto an 1800 VW air cooled motor. Started it and ran for a short while and drove it for a few miles. Then I had to take the blower off to make adjustments elsewhere. Looking inside at the rotors the "rubber" coating of the rotors is very rough and coming off in chunks. Brand new kit??? Anyone else experienced this and has a suggestion as to what's wrong?
The kit we installed is still going strong. Was your kit a Kompressor Hause Kit?
Great video any updates on the Supercharger conversion , have you had it on a dyno
No Dyno as of yet. But the car rips now. 👍🏽
Thank you for an interesting video. Please go with higher resolution next time.
I’m filming in 4K. It’s the way CZcams compresses the video. 👍🏽
Great video was dry coil packs used on the plug wires?
Not sure what you are referring to.
wonder what a guy would have to do for a ghia deck lid might spruce up a 1200 haha
Do you need me and Bobby D to test drive it? #onecrazyweekend
How do you attach the engine hood now ?
Deck lid stand offs.
Can you share the size belt use for this kit?
It came in the kit. If I remember next time I’ll get the size. 👍🏽
Do you feel the kit is worth the money?
Definitely worth it. Most bang for buck I’ve experienced.
Every minute working on bug is 1 min lost you could work on a real car.
Pinocchio of cars huh. 🤣
