Slapped a 1915 in my '65 years ago. Once I worked out all the "bugs". She would pull the front end up and drag the header collector on the ground. Neighborhood kids loved it at night due to the spark show. I was young and dumb trying to build a race car. Just recently fired her up after sitting for 8 years. To my surprise, she runs pretty good.
That's awesome, get it tuned up so you can cruise the streets again
man i love VWs
That engine sounds like it is perfectly balanced. Nice shop. I greatly miss building VW motors. Thanks.
Thank you
7:10 vibrates.
I built dozens of (perhaps a few hundred) engines from 1973 to 1978, mostly stock.
My brother was a certified VW mechanic and I learned all I know from him. He left the dealer and opened his own independent VW shop.
I moved on to another career in '79.
Now, at 70 years old I would love to understand how to build the "hotrod" engines like these on display.
I am drooling!
🤤
@@edwardtaylor8635 Thanks Edward, we're using a lot of aftermarket parts that make it easier for us to build these large cc engines that weren't available when you and your brother we're working with VW's and without what you guys passed on, we'd never be where we're at now so don't count yourself short, you guys are very much a part of what is going on today.
go back to mexicio.
Dude was tuning that shit by ear! That's a mechanic ladies and gentleman
Thank you for visiting our channel, appreciate the support
Beautiful shop. Beautiful motors. Great clip.
Thank you
Sweet engine! Sounds great!
I popped a 1800 into my 1956 vw... made my own dual carb setup...header exhaust... oh, also installed a vw van rear end...torqued up the front arms... $50 I paid for my vw
very cool, customizing your VW is always fun
That's gotta be a fun ride , my fathers told me tales of messing around with air cooled stuff in his crowd.
Like the guy who had a super 90 swapped in ,and if conditions were good there's a chance you might peek a little daylight under a front tire on a hard launch!
Another 30hp(this engine) must be amazing.
Thats gotta be a hoot on the street!
That's awesome, VW's have definitely created a lot of good memories
@@powerhausvw that they have, it's been a heck of a good time enjoying the people's car!
I AM,,the "GUY".
Eat it.
It's amazing how organized and clean you keep your shop,I have been thinking about bolt on valve covers, Now I know that if you are using them they must be the way to go, Great video, love to have one of your engines.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words, the bolt on valve covers work but should be checked for tighteness every now and then, the cork gaskets shrink after time and cover will get loose.
@@powerhausvw I have tested severals valve covers models in my 1600cc with similiar setup (~90hp). I have been driving almost 200 km per day since 2016. The beetle is used as main car to go to work that is in another city. In my case the better solution for stop the leak was return use the original valve covers + very good quality gaskets. For unsual car use as mine, I've been replace the gasket each 2 months (~5000km). Some people calls me crazy due to gasoline price in Brazil. But once infected by VW air cooled... One way ticket. I believe that great organization and nice projects in your shop shows the passion since a long time. Am I right?
Sounds great! I can't wait to upgrade from my 1600,
Brings back a lot of cool memories. Subbing.
Like to see some of these beautiful engines in their project cars and buses
Thank you Brian,
We are not doing the installs as an everyday business anymore but if you go back to some of our older videos on our UA-cam channel, we do show a few small videos of bugs and bus's
Check with A&D Buggies in Torrance, good people, they have been around for a long time as well 310-320-0642
Yes I'm familiar with Him the only problem with Wayne is that he doesn't work on your car unless it's engine build most time his just running around getting parts and his bunch youngsters working on your car on Ground shop is very small and very expensive 🙄 so my suggestion is don't recommend him unless someone want go there buy choice plus you can't even talk to guy he brush you off and kick you out store walks away kinda sassy sometimes 😉
I keep my bug’s stock 1500 engine well tuned and I’m getting all 44 hp , I dream of going through the gears with one of your engines behind me , well worth the subscription
Thank you for your support and the kind words
What year is your 1500 John?
1500 is perfect for my early split screen busses.
Currently saving for a motor from u guys 2180 or 2276cc for my 66 bus
If I could I’d have one of these engine in my living room just to look at. Running of course
What a sweet sounding motor, nice and crisp,
Thank you David
I miss my 63 ragtop. That motor would’ve been epic. Great work!
I know how you feel, I miss my 61 rag. I wish I could see where its at nowadays
@@bugnut82 I hear you. Unfortunately my 63 was stolen. The police found the body dumped on a major highway. The crooks took everything including the pan. I have no idea why they did what they did. It was show car condition with a 1776cc dual 40's.
@@johnmca5643 That's terrible. Did you ever get another bug? I bought a 62 in 2020, and it's almost finished! Just doing the headliner now, and started up its 40HP fresh rebuild earlier today.
Sounds nice...much better than my 2 litre CU....
SWEET
That’s great!!! Greetings from w Brazil 🇧🇷
My dad had a 1915cc in his 68/69 ghia and it was a ripper. we had 40 or 44 dellortos on it. Really awesome street engine.
Love the old VW memories
@@powerhausvw I have a lot of good vw memories. Grew up in my early teens in the early 2000's watching the VW Paradise guys hit their first 200mph pass. Wish I still had access to the old tapes that had that run.
@@kasuraga They we're definitely setting the bar in racing back then, not sure if they've been racing at all in last few years but don't count them out, they are some heavy hitters.
I love all your videos, all my respect to you, you are a real master to me am a big fan of all your videos, I wish one day we can meet each other.
Thank you for watching and supporting, much appreciated
Where were you guys when I owned a beetle back in the day lol.
Never messed around with bug motors too much I had a 74 914 VW with a 2.4 6 in it that ran good and buddies with vans that ran 6’s in them also
Yeah, sounds great!
Greetings from a Dane in Bulgaria!
I just stumbled onto your channel - glad I did.
What a beautiful rebuilt! Simply a work of art.
I wish you all a great New Year!
PS: and I did sub to your channel of course!
Thank you Jakob and we appreciate the support and kind words
Happy New Year
Love this channel wish I lived around the corner from you I’d have one of them in my van tomorrow 😂😂😂
I remember a bud had a Super V and it was strong in stoplight to stoplight runs
I painted the sheet metal & cylinder jugs fins black to dissipate the heat better on an air-cooled engine. I made an engine stand with a spit case transaxle half. you could start the engine and get it prepped for installation. 40+ years ago.
That’s cool, some of those old tricks are still being used today
Do you allow visitors to do a tour. I was trained by a VW factory employee that was working at the plant after WW2. He came over to the states in the late 50's and set up a foreign repair shop in PA. I worked there starting out when I was 13. Spent around 9 years working on Posche, VW and Audi.
Absolutely but we just have a small crew so you might want to give us a call just before you head down to make sure we don't miss you.

Man I wish I could bolt this into my 4x4 Tracker !
Sounds killer dude -
Beautiful!
Looks and runs great. Glad you talked about HP’s cuz I was wondering how much it would make.
Thank you
I think one would be hard pressed to find a smoother running vw motor. Just fantastic sounds!! My 62 bug would be complete with this!! I need save up some money!!
Thank you, appreciate the kind words
I want that in a tricked out Baja bug!
Put one of these in a sno-trac in Idaho. The first Lars Larsson snow cat had a VW/Ferdinand Porsche boxster engine. Because everyone knows you use air cooled engines in winter IMHO. Why? Because water freezes.
What a sweet sounding bug engine! They were a great car in the Chicago winters and never got stuck! The heaters were ify! But a very reliable vehicle!
Felicitaciones desde Argentina. abrazo.
Very nice. 👍🏻
amazing - feels 'steam punk'
Awesome work! Beautiful simple engines. Got an idea while watching this video.
With all the green initiatives out there, would it be possible to take a simple naturally aspirated VW billet engine and replace the alternator with a alternator/generator? It would enable a mild hybrid set up. The battery could be placed at the bottom of the front trunk to creat better weight balance. I thought I saw something like this at Sema one year? Perhaps it could put your company in a positive light when the California Air Quality guys come knocking?
one of our engineer friends talked to me a little about this a while back, last I herd he found someone to work with him on this but not sure where he's at in the process
Real nice 👍
It looks like you do the engine tuning right in the store.
Smooth...
Wonderfull.......
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work on the machine. Question, how much does it cost for you to build one of those to my 1969 bug? Same size engine, same as the one that you just showed. In Diamond blue color.
Big John!!!!
Would be great in go cart
Finally some one I can ask this question on reliability on stock trim fully rebuilt how long do they last mileage wise before another rebuild I was goin to purchase an old sand rail like the 70s military one but the guy said it's the small motor if you want more power find an older bus vw tranny I didn't buy it because I'm unfamiliar with this engine and know they used these in kit planes so what's the down low on these for maintenance and longevity
That's a tough one to answer, to many variables, these engines can be set up for many different uses and every engine builder has their own ideas. Some builders build for the most hp and rpm they can achieve, others build for low end torque and reliability, some transmissions are geared low and the engine will run at a constant high rpm on the free-way, etc. etc. If you have a chance, feel free to call us during the day, ask for Jerry or John and one of us wouldn't mind going into a little more details.

Badass!
I had a thought a couple of weeks ago. Since the cam is under the crank why do we have to rev. to 2,000 for 20 min. The idea of that is on normal engines to throw oil up to the cam. What I was told to break them in is as soon as you get them running and time was to go 40mph in 3rd and that was to set the rings .
That sounds so nice and crisp. I have mst pulleys on my 59. I do not like the idler bearing that came on the adjuster. I have replaced it once already. Yours is different and looks like it came off a modern car. Can you tell me where it came from?
This one is from MST, you may have an older design, they really need to be adjusted and aligned properly or they can have issues, we've had good success but do here stories on the pulley tensioner going out so make sure everything is aligned and adjusted
Amazing work sir great demonstration. I wish I had my 64 back with that motor.
Thank you
It’s another great looking motor you guys have built there . I was wondering what compression you are running because you did mention you build them with low compression that will run on pump gas ? Would that be premium?
Thank you David, this one has 8:0 compression and we still recommend to run minimum of 91octane
I have a 1970 dual cab. Running a 2110 w/ dual Weber 44’s ( stoker ). Builder was Jeff Gervais. Runs great. Not good for gas mileage. Fun drive
@@johnklink4825
Thanks John
I am having built locally a 2180 with a 8.5 compression with AA thick wall 42’s with an 82 crank
We have the Empi gtv-2 and I new set of 44’s for the carbs . This has been a year long project I just haven’t got time to finish so that why I’m having a local shop with over 50 years of experience with VW’s .
I actually bought my first karminn ghia from the owners dad in the 1980’s .
I wish I it now:(
Will this fit in a 1967 Porsche 912, and what mods would I have to make, if any, to make it fit?
Put that engine in a Karman ghia, that would be great!
Awsome" Have a 1641 in my 71 type 3 Square back. Whats the biggest engine you can pack into it without cutting up the deck.....?
It really depends on how much custom work you are willing to do, the type 3 engine requires a lot of fabrication and modification in order to get any dual weber engine tucked nicely underneath the deck lid, we've done as big as a 2387cc even turbo efi but will definitely require a custom engine build as well as a custom install.

Magical. Does a flat-4 need balance components? They're not 'naturally' balanced like a flat-6 or inline-6 are they.
We still balance but Most of these after market parts we use are very close, In-fact some even closer than factory specs
Dam…reminds me of the good old days. Have to say dual carbs are a PITA to maintain
Biggest thing with dual carbs is clogged jets, so keep the gas tanks clean, use a micron fuel filter and service the air filters
Do they need to sit on separate ports? On a 1914 engine??
📌🇧🇷 Covardia !!! O poder de compra e a gama de ofertas de qualidade fazem a vida VW do americano ser muito mais facil.
Awesome!

What was the other engine auto-craft turbo behind the 2387 in this vlog?
That was an engine we did for a customer of ours in England around 2015, he eventually went 11.24 in the 1/4 mile and held the record for the fastest VW 4 cylinder air-cooled bus for quiet a while, at some point, another shop went through the engine but was never the same so it is back with us to go through and upgrade as well.

How much is rhe torque and at which rpm ? Thanks in advance
PowerhausVW: Have you ever built a VW engine for a custom motorcycle build?
We built a 1914 about 20 year’s ago for a customer of ours with a motorcycle that I think had a bmw drive-train and have done several builds for customers with trikes
Crispy...
Do you do any videos on the W12 Phaeton engine?
We’re only building the air-cooled engines now
What was the real hp of the first VWs sent to the USA?
🤨 my Corolla 1.8 has 135hp- and 40mm.🤷🏻♂️
I’m joking. That’s a nice engine
NICE!!!
I don´t like how that equal length header steals the unique sound of a flat 4. It sure raises the HP though.
Will that engine fit into a standard VW chassis, or the latter has to be modified ? Greetings from Lima, Perú.
I'd say typically yes, they fit in fine, some of the early VW's may be a bit tighter of a fit especially if the body bushing are worn out or if any major body work has been done around the engine bay, so mostly yes but we have seen small modifications needed on some cars.
He mentioned in the opening that this motor is “dialed in” but what’s with all the adjustments he’s doing?
Just double checking, if you watch close , I only adjusted the linkage rods just a little, it never hurts to come back & double check your work
Am inn kenya.how can i get one
I’m a new vw owner ( ‘63 ) is this a worthwhile investment for a daily driver or is this more for people wanting to hit the show circuit?
Most of our customers will fix up and use their VW’s for a fun weekend car or yes cruise to an event or show. Parts prices have really gone up and finding a local VW mechanic may be difficult. I usually tell friends and customers that are looking to get into a classic VW or any classic car, it’s like owning a boat or RV, expect to spend money with no guarantees and be patient, if your just after reliable transportation with cost efficiency and intend to put a lot of miles on it, I’d probably say it’s not a good investment.
I wanted to see this on your website but too many ads.
What does that engine cost out the door with block exchange or without…..?
These are brand new engines so we do not require the old engine, you can find pricing and options on our website or if you would like a personal quote, give us a call during the week, ask for Jerry or John.

How much HP does the $23,000 efi one get you? I get that it is the best of the best . Just curious
We're actually not taking in orders for our turbo engines at the moment, we have them listed on our website as not available. The main reason for this is that these type builds take up a whole lot of our time and we still have several full custom builds to complete along side of our normal aspirated builds plus some of the efi parts we were using are not available and we will be making an ecu change very soon, pricing on all parts have gone way up and nothing on our set up is an off the shelf or sold to us in kit forum, everything on this engine is either custom made or heavily modified, so when we do start offering our turbo efi engine again, we'll probably only take on 2-3 builds a year and they will probably start off at about $34,000 by the time we add for all the changes and upgrades we are working on.
Our old set and specs that are currently listed on our website made about 275hp-300hp at the rear wheels on pump gas and water/methanol injection, we've made as much as 415hp at the rear wheels on race gas and about 23lbs of boost.

Can I buy 1914cc engine, wich have fan shroud with air outlets?
yes, we can set the engine up with heater provisions in the sheet metal or Porsche style shroud but we do not supply the heater boxes at the moment
🥰😍🤤
yea but l think l see a spec of dust laying over there.
44 webers seems big for a 1.9
It really depends on the set up, they work really well with our builds

@@powerhausvw thank you
The motor looks beautiful and likely (understandably) not cheap. But the one thing I can't get my head around is that a nearly 2L motor only produces 120 hp. The value per hp just wouldn't be there for me.
Thanks Michael, It really depends what your after, small cc engine making big hp is just bragging rights for mechanics at least in my opinion and that's ok, fun to compete with but we are building engines for customers that mostly want an engine to be driver friendly and last a long time so we like to use a larger cc engine, set it up mildly so that it produces more low end torque as appose to a smaller engine that needs to be high in rpm to achieve the same hp goals.

Looks like I have to sell my beetle to bay the enjin for me it's a cheaper option to go to a Subaru enjin
We’ll it really depends on your expectations, if you go out & purchase a brand new Subaru engine equipped with quality parts, it’ll cost more than one of our brand new engines but if you go get a good used Subaru engine and can put it in yourself properly, you’ll definitely save some money but if you or someone plans to do the swap like most I’ve seen with radiator sheet metal screwed into the spare tire area, coolant pipes running underneath the car, wiring & hoses everywhere, your probably better off leaving the engine in the Subaru and driving it but now your back to selling the bug again 😁
