JayCee 48 Special Dual Carb Kit | VW Type 1 (Beetle/Bus/Ghia/Type 3) | Dual EMPI 48 EPC 40mm (JC-5000-0)

JayCee 48 Special Dual Carb Kit — Hand-Built Dual EMPI 48 EPC System for VW Type 1 (JC-5000-0)

Jack Sacchette doesn't sell a kit he hasn't tuned himself. The 48 Special is the dual-carb setup he built his name on — every JC-5000-0 leaves the JayCee shop hand-assembled, pre-run, and dialed in before it gets boxed. You're not buying parts in a bag; you're buying a system that's already been proven on the dyno and at the strip.

This is the Standard (tall-stack) version with black-anodized JayCee billet hardware. Other anodized colors are available by special order (see below).

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Type 1 (upright dual-port): Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, dune buggy, sandrail, Manx
• VW Type 2 / Bus: with adequate engine bay clearance
• Best for: performance builds 1776cc and up, where dual 40s and 44s have hit their ceiling
• Note: Pre-pollution / non-emissions-controlled vehicles only

Why Choose JayCee?

Every 48 Special is hand-assembled, pre-jetted, pre-balanced, and run-tested by JayCee Enterprises (Jack Sacchette) in Anaheim, CA before it ships — so the kit shows up ready to bolt on rather than as a box of parts to sort out.
