4 april 2022 - Friends of the house

Hans, well known from running the BBT counter for over 10 years, started Speedshack when he left BBT.

Speedshack builds VW engines so Hans and BBT is an ongoing story.

Out of his research Hans gives us a lot of feedback.

Today he shares with us how easy you can obtain HP and torque with Auto Linea heads.

Hans said he took stock Auto Linea heads, gave the valve and seats a 3 angle cutting job. He left the ports untouched, modified the compression chambers slightly where he made them same diameter as the cylinder bore diameter and “unshroud” the valves.

These heads he combined with 90.05mm bore cylinders, stock crank and rods with a healthy 8.4/1 compression ratio, for a long engine life.

He used an Engle W100 cam with stock rockers and 2 x Weber 36mm IDF carbs set up with 30mm venturi on just a cheap EMPI hotdog exhaust.

The dyno results are pretty amazing as you can see from the screen above…

A whopping 97.8DinHp over a 145DinNm of torque.

This will be a fun engine to drive for sure!

3 april 2022 - Fun

You can park a car in many different ways…:)

But you have to learn at young age….

or at little less young age you can park your bus in Amsterdam

or later on you take your family and park before the “Vleeshuis” in downtown Antwerp.

You only hope that babies in your collection don’t get hungry at the same time…:)

because if you don’t feed them well this is what happens…

But at certain age collecting starts serious, You park them on age…. Early split, late split and oval…

Also in the early days they parked their cars well!

HMMMMM not always….

But …. Police is watching you, all nicely lined up…:)

happy sunday… relax… and park well…:)


1 april 2022 - NEW

President Biden announced he will release 1 million barrels oil a day for a period of six months.
Flooding the market he will try to damp the crazy prices and stop speculation.

Hopefully that’s the start of a cheaper cost for daily living.
Those savings can be used very well to spend on some new BBT products we like to present you here today.

Welcome @ BBT news.

After the hidden USB chargers in the ashtray of your beetle HERE we now bring you  the same USB solution for the ashtray of your splitty bus.
Since most people don’t use the ashtray anymore, but more likely want to charge a phone or navigation system, the ashtray is the perfect place for a hidden USB connection.

Nicely out of sight when you don’t need it, and easy to pull for use.
This smarter QC0 2.0 / QC 3.0 charger works on both 6 and 12 Volts and has a maximum output power of 18 Watts.

@ 12 Volts it is even a fast charger of 3.5A if your phone supports it.
In other cases and with 6 Volts it charges with a standard strength of 1 A.

Easy to build in and  connect.
This device needs three small diameter holes to be drilled in the ashtray (Not included)

Stay charged, stay connected!

0699-250 USB charger for ashtray 6/12Volt – Bus -07/67

Nothing wrong with our German made sliding door seal for your bay window BBT 7530-500 except the price perhaps.

High quality parts  come with a price tag, as we all know.

But that doesn’t mean there are people who like to keep their bus or kombi going at a more moderate budget.
We decided to dig a second, more economical, version of the left side sliding door seal that fits the bill at a better price.

7530-400 Sliding door seal left – Bus 08/67-07/79
