Not much. The damn car only weighs 1700 lbs. An 11s Supra needs, what, about 500 whp, so a bug with half the weight would only need about 250.trucker;1130492 said:
mustang 5.0 with ebay turbo setup... seen those things turn some good times stock.. although carry a little motor scoot with you as it won't last long.
stock gutted civic with spray.. seen a 200 shot last two passes. fun boom when it went.
basically your not gonna be fast and furious with only a few g it will be short lived and if your up for stocking up on blocks go for it.. but its gonna cost a little more to bust into the 11's and be able to stay there.

if that math holds, then we are closer than we think. 1000 or so for betle with a blown motor, nice used taurus engine for what 5-600 complete, 4-500 for a ford to vw adaptor, some plumbing, and work(bfh and red wrench kind) and a little tweak to the motor, and were off to the track!
the 2.3 was gonna come in way too high, to get to those power numbers, and a modern taurus mill ought to be pretty damn close, maybe a 50 shot away?
course you are gonna have to tear out the back of the beetle, and cage the engine i guess(but it works for sandrails)
ans swiss cheese the front for a radiator, but i never said it was gonna be pretty...
I knew someone that had a 71 supper beetle he built the motor to a 2200 from a 1600 had the best traction I have ever witnessed (no tire spin at all) wouild walk on 5.0 mustangs all the time i think it was running low 12's or high 11's with little to know money invested

i used to run sandrails...and a good 2200 is gonna blow the budget, by the time you get evertyhing you need to get it running....
Wow!! no one said DSM, Well i ran a 12:10 @ 110mph on stock long block, Stock turbo, Stock IC but bigger IC piping, Ported 2nd gen exhaust manifold & O2 housing, 2nd Gen mass air flow sensor, 650cc injectors, S-afc II, 3" downpipe & Catback, ACT 2600 PP clutch kit.... Some weight reduction... I know if i switch turbos i could have gone faster...
right now im with misMKIII and 92 nsx old hondas are light and if u find a swap for liek 2 grand and toss ebay shit on u can run fast and ull blow it all to sky high but will sitll run that 11s pass and mis mkIII is right with teh soarer idea but over her in the us soarers rnt cheap over in ausie land they are more common so they can pick them up cheap and drop a ebay t78 and ebay nos kit and run it but still blow it all sky high how about u find a old jet engine make sure it works snatch it up for liek 1500 put it on a old 4wheeler and run that scene it done at a event up here in WI

Read the crazy swaps that get people going real fast. Maybe not 4k, but def for under 6. Imagine a chipped 2.5l STI motor running 25psi and an exhaust that is 4" wide, 2' long in a car that weighs around 2klbs. hell, if you really want to be a cheap mother, get some wider wheels with slicks, run skinnies on the stock wheels (IIRC they are only 4-5" wide) and remove the rear fenders to run the slicks (only a couple of bolts). A car that weighs 2400lbs (driver and gas in a stripped bug) with 350 crank hp is capable of running around an 11.6. Something tells me you can get more than 350 crank out of a stock turbo on an STI.

You can...for about ten minutes. Then you throw a rod.
OP what kind of money are you talking about. To run consistent 11's the best way to go is 240sx+LS1. It will cost about 5k. And will do 11's all day everyday.
cheap?
hmm
ANY CAR + a cliff that is 1320 feet high + Gravity = fastest 1/4 mile car!
Only issue is that you get exactly one pass with the car and no more!
