  • When I do a compilation video, I usually choose one model, but for this aircooled video, I thought I would include as many of the VW range that I have filmed (including some non VW cars, but with VW aircooled engines)
    It is always going to be predominately VW Beetles, but there is a good mix of Campers, Buggys, Karmann Ghias, Type 3's etc thrown in.
    These are all vehicles that I have filmed my self, and do not include any that I have not. Apologies for any vehicles I have missed out, but I had to draw the line somewhere.
    Also, some of these vehicles may have run quicker times, these are just the runs that I liked.
    You May see on the side of a lot of these cars, the lettering O/FF nn. This is for cars that compete in the Outlaw Flat Four class. Check them out on FaceBook for more info - / offdrc

    My dad actually built the world's fastest VW beetle back in the 1960's.It was called the "Mouse Trap".It ran in the 9 second range! I still have the July 1970 issue of Popular Hot Rodding with the car on the cover.!

    Love air cooled V Dubs just as they were in the mid to late 60's. Soaking up the glory in the I/Gas class. The setup was twin 48IDA Webers, tall intake manifolds, big displacement (for an air cooled VW) rad cam, high compression (for a VW). Good big valve, ported after market heads, knife edged forged crank, 8 dowel flywheel, roller high ratio rocker arms. Naturally aspirated, unlike the supercharged Willys, Henry J. and Anglia AA/ G running in the early to mid 60's. It's actually pretty much the present day air cooled VW P/S (Pro Stock) class minus the wild custom paint adorning the 60's I/Gas cars. Many of which continue to run in Europe, England and Scandinavia.

    My passion for bugs started back home in Monterrey MX seeing 9-10 second bugs at the autodromo race track when I was a kid and the car shows were crazy in mx, heavily moded audio systems to interior,exterior,stroker motors...I wanted to buy a bug in mx and build it but prob not a way to legalize it hear in the states,but the currency of the american $ you could build a stroker motor for half the price...

    • @VeeDubRacing

      Parts in the UK are getting really expensive now, so to have motors like these built, costs a fortune. Still nothing beats seeing a bug run in the 9's, well until you see one run in the 8's :)

    Just curious - what's the most power that can be had out of an air-cooled 4 in one of these and still be able to close the rear lid. I.e. sleeper mode? Would that be via a Type IV short block?

    • @VeeDubRacing
      @VeeDubRacing  3 роки тому

      There is probably someone much better at answering this than me. I have seen 280bhp from the type1 engine, and then the way to go is to add NOS. Its the big turbo setups that stop the engine lid from shutting. So with 100 to 150 shot of NOS, you can get the power up to 400+bhp.

    • @carlostrujillo3854
      @carlostrujillo3854 3 роки тому +1

      I've seen some turbo setups with low mount turbos still concealed under the decklid with 300+hp, powerhaus vw in CA builds some beautiful engines and cb performance also in CA some of the best vw engine builders that will build to your spec...there are popular vw swaps like the 13b rotary small in size that will fit under the decklid or the Subaru ej20,ej25 from the sti flat 4 boxer engine,its low profile makes a popular swap as well...
