Ironic!! I just broke in a 1915 yesterday...same procedure I use. I'm digging that oil pressure gauge set up, WAY cleaner than the plastic tubing crap I have. Keep these videos coming, I learn something new from you everytime!! Much appreciated!
oh the memories! I built my first car. It was a Myers-Manx dunebuggy kit built on a wrecked 63 VW beetle. I cant remember the name but there was a catalog that all kinds of VW performance parts. I enetually added a stroker kit, a 2 liter big bore kit, a hot cam from Isky, A intake/ exhaust kit and Judson super charger. i never had a chance to get it on a dyno but it would lift the front wheels about a foot at a rolling start and twice that from a standstill. had a ton of fun with that car

I once had a 65 Baja Bug with a 92X76 stroker engine utilizing a single 44 Weber carb mated to a close ratio Trans-axle and it was a tank. never let me down but got pretty rotten gas mileage. Those were fun days.

I once received a $50.00 dollar award from Motor Trend magazine on how to remove valve guides on the aluminum Volkswagen heads.

Enjoyed your video on the Volkswagen .😊😊😊
Man every time i watch this brings back good memorys. watching my father do the same. i was putting them together when i was 14years old. and moved up to what your doing. keep it up bro love it. never see bugs any more. Bobs VW repair. and bill and steves. lol
RESTRAIN your hair !! I have waist length hair and when you open one of my tool boxes, right on top, is a package of hair ties. I have seen the results and it is something you will never forget. Awesome engine. Don't go bald before your time....
God is all of that racquet coming from the rockers? And what kind if cam gear are you running ? Straight cut? Good job on the build n nice catch on the carb. Great looking motor. Sounds way better second time around.
How do you set up your initial timing? Looks like you move the dizzy quite a bit to get it to fire off at first. What about jetting out the gate? what are looking for with head temps at with cam break in,..guessing about 2500rpm. Sounds very nice, crisp and snappy, love the way the motor calms down,..like taming a wild horse.
@@volkstroke Thanks,..appreciate the posts. We can all use a bit of knowledgable help and you have it pretty well figured...maybe see you at the track.
You should be making more HP than that. 10.5 compression . 1:6 rockers by empi, Heads were brutally polished and ported. Weber 48 IDA's with f7 emulsion tubes on the tall match ported manifolds.. infact, we welded thez back side gap to allow for more porting. Added 1 oz per gallon of Xylene, 2oz per gallon lacalene to racing gasoline. Final octane rating was un obtainable as it dissolved the container before the officials could analyze it. We guess it was around 130 Ronz number. Baylands raceway, Fremont, ca. We got 235 HP from a 2180
The heads aren’t that big it’s on 1.4 And only .550 at the valve advanced and peak HP is not that high in RPM so I actually think it’s perfect for what it is. And idk about all that funny business with the fuel I just build to run on 91
If I were to provide a length would you guys be able to cut/press together a set of push rods for me? Or possibly post a vid of how you made that threaded tool to press the ends on? 😁
I love these engine build videos. Roughly what does a complete engine like this go for minus exhaust? What transmission mods need to be done if any for a street car to be somewhat reliable? Thanks
I love how people sleep on air cooled flat 4s. I grew up watching type 1 and type 3s gapping purpose built pro street dummies at Pamona back in the day 😂
Omg. Cranking that dist. Like he’s an 80’s DJ running the turntables. Lol! Can’t you just static time that thing to get it in the ball park? Never used that distributer though.
Dude im having vw problems just getting mine stared .that 1 you built is rowdy as f.... i got the little 1.3 liter new starter new coil new flame thrower distributor new spark plug wires and spark plugs new voltage reg. And it acts like it dosent want to even roll over .no. crank im tired of dealing with it dude trade me 1 on of those bad boys i got some good parts on this thing or help me getr going .it ran like a champ last year with old parts its like a 55 vw if im not mistaken.
WoW! I have owned a 1965 & 1966, which I loved. This is Beautiful & Stellar.
Thank You For Sharing & Best Wishes.
Thanks man, they are fun cars
That air cooled VW engine , is a unique, unprecedented, unparalleled, unmatched machine , forever !
Indeed it is! I agree with you
Sounds real low end still responsive still snappy there is a lighter flywheel
@@TenToes-jp3ej look at the dyno video it’s on the description click on the link see the numbers and the ranges of torque
@@TenToes-jp3ej yes lighter by 5 lbs
2275cc = 215ish HP.... Could be more with perfect parts💪

Oh...and I ran outta fuel, even after checking!! LOL
That is awesome!
i always love to hear a new build CRANK RIGHT UP!!😅🤣😂
Yeah I messed that one up
@volkstroke happens to the best of us! lol! nice engine!!
Hearing a junkyard engine you just swapped not knocking on first startup is magic.
@ it is
I know what you mean, my ex-girlfriend love you to watch my crank build right up😂
It’s beautiful…Sounds Amazing!!!!

@jimhoover4060 that's it!!! Loved getting those in the mail
We had Autohaus stores in Orange County.
I went to high school with Gene Berg's sons in the late 70 in Orange.
Love the straight cut gear whine! That exhaust system I could look at all day, work of art.
Thanks
I have the same exhaust but it looks so much better on his with a brand new motor build
Never seen straight cut gears on the camshaftdrive... 😮

yeah it eventually ran very nice thanks for visiting the Chanel we got hundreds of videos

big power
congratulations for the work and whim!!!!!
Thanks buddy
The engine sounds beautiful! NA too! 200+ HP That bug is going to surprise a lot of cars! Way cool!
Check out our latest upload it’s intalation
Yeah we have a video of the engine in the car
the good stuff 12:57 Mahalo for posting this, sick build!
Literally the best VW dub video I’ve watched all weekend. Thanks Dave!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video…thanks for sharing!
Great video. I love the way that engine sounds.
Dream engine. 👍🏿 sounds great
Nice motor, looks so sweet. Sounds just great. 👌👌
Thanks 👍
Nice build my big boy build hopefully sounds and makes power like that engine
I totally agree on the stock valve covers.
well, I see one thing, you surely know your way around engines, superb job!
One of my best ones
Sounds great right on beautiful motor
Brothers VW Machine I have known them for many years A+
Yes sir
I’ve never heard a VW engine that sounds like that !!
Cool design! For me the most beautiful four cylinder sound in the world is the slow running aircooled VW engine sound. 😍 Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪🤝
Couldn't agree more!
You were burping it . Whoop first gear woo scpecond gear. Gonna be a blast. 💥
Amazing throttle response
Thanks
Wow, that big boy likes to rev! Killa build dude.
It’s a good pull to about 6700

Beautiful engine and SOOO SMOOOOOTH...
Appreciate it 🙏🏽
Beautiful pipe work.
its a nice header built here in the states
Sounds great, Thanks for sharing.
It's sounding good. Great work.
Yep it's running great.
Thank you
I pulled up to a drag start years ago. I thought, I can finally win one. It was a bettle
Oops. The dang vw crushed me.
@@richardharrold4357 😝
Orale! Thats why your tuning my 2110.
Eso
Sounded nice
So all that power from an air cooled, non turbo. Damn!
Fantastic!
Top!
The right side header scorching so much more than the left seems the fuel mixture was off quite a bit initially.
It’s all part of it
Sounds like a 'Pork-Che' for sure! I luvvit...
Maybe set the ign timing before cranking it. Not seen that method before!😂😂😂😂
Learn something every day
damn that thing sounds nice, like a bike!
Ok, that sounds pretty badass :)
Thank you
You do some great builds bro looks full of power and showtime ready
Thank you buddy
That is a nice piece of art right there.
Sounds crisp 👌 a bit better than my 1641 for sure
Just a little bit
That is a nice little motor.
Wow,sounds great!
You’re going to love the dyno
Love the initial setting of the timing!
me too
I guess you dyno'd it later to know the power or you built so many of these you just know? sounds amazing, top work thanks for sharing
It’s on the description the link to the video on dyno and install
@@volkstroke So sorry pal i didnt see the link on my device.

Geeze that twist!!!! Engine sounds good though!
It’s a stout build

These things rock n rolled.they were smokin 5.0 mustangs.

Very very nicy
Looks good and sounds good!
Thank you!
Nice work
Appreciate it!
Damn. Now I want another BUG!
WoW! Thats music from some good figuring to make a lion from a mouse.
The only thing i dont like about that engine is that its not in my beetle. Great job, awesome attention to detail
Fair enough!
Forever VW 🤘🏻

congrats on the successful 1st start.
Thank you!
Absolutely love the motor, would definitely want to learn how to build something similar for my bug🔥🔥
Hell yeah
Can't wait almost there waiting on my heads for 2332 then break in time
Get sum
I just bought a 2180 for my 67 Herbie Replica it won’t be 214hp but it’ll be fast it’s at least a month out before I get it but I’m psyched
Gotta have fun ma
Man! That VDub motor sounds great! I'd like to see that on a Dyno!
It’s on the description links
Two more follow up videos on the description
That exhaust sounds great
Yes sir
Nice...I want it!!
I have a 2332 with a web 86c I love this cam
Yessah 🔥❤️🔥💪🏾🙏🏽VOLKSTROKE 🤙🏾
Love it 👏👏👏👏👏
Give me some fresh air!!!😂
Just start the darn thing
I’m trying lol
I need that exhaust but Parkerized!

My first car was a 1964 Beetle. 1200 CC's and 40 HP. I miss that car so much!
36 -38 MPG if stock
Man that’s beautiful,, I bet you could build a nasty woods buggy engine,, volkstroker banging gears passing q**** in ecotecs hill killing,,
Big torque monsters
You should be making more HP than that.

These engines start at 12k for parts
Transmisión needs to be decent if you wanna get on it minimum a nice diff and axles and mid mount and traction bar to make sure it don’t hop the tire
