- We are working hard to get everyone ready for our drag series psca. This little hot rod out of Oregon has an 8 valve Vw engine with a 67/85 turbo and FuelTech ft550 has arrived to rip with us but before we do we need to get it set up for the race!
Hold on tight folks this is awesome!
Pick up some rad merch at pfispeed.com
Thanks to Brent and Jamie for all the help!!!!! We will be ripping soon! 🙏
Ive been waiting for this video for days since you guys posted on Facebook I can't wait to see you guys run this thing in person
What part of Oregon are you guys from ? I’m in NorCal and would love to see it run.
Portland Oregon

@@AaronCoyRacing OMG, I so miss Woodburn Dragstrip.. I spent many a weekend pitting for my friends From Hillsboro My home town, Back in the 80's. Friggin' Awesome the track made it this far! I froze my A$$ off one night in my 66 'Stang and will NEVER sleep in a car without a sleeping bag, A HOT woman or several blankets again! Seriously, so many racers from Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Beaverton and Portland used to go there. Friday night High School Drags were SO much fun! I have seen some really crazy $hit go down there! Jet Cars were the BOMB! I hope to return from Spokane, WA to watch the drags someday soon!! I am in College and will be out until Sept. 20th. I will try my Best to make it there Covid be DAMNNED!
When i was a kid, many moons ago i had a 87' jetta 8v with a fully built head and a tt 286/446 cam and have many fond memories with that car.. i believe in the vw 8v.. tough as nails
As a VW guy at heart, I loved this video..
hearing the 8v rev high is a good feeling lol
@@PSNxFTWxRAGOI no doubt!
I can't believe I missed this , I'm surprised my homies didn't roast me
Not sure about others but i really enjoy the trouble shooting part when you guys have to make adjustments on the dyno. I find it very interesting and informative
As a mechanic those hard diags stick with ya too. I highly recommend Scanner Danner channel for more of that stuff if your into it. He gives in depth computer systems and electrical diag, scope readings etc. I cant afford a scope... but its great learning how the pixies travel through stuff lol
@@JaredHIll13 thanks for the info brother I’m gonna check it out too I love troubleshooting I’m a IT guy and spend hours on wiring and troubleshooting
Shooting*
This is local to me so stoked to see Ryan bring the Smurf to you guys I've watched him for years building this thing up
That’s awesome
As a vw audi guy I absolutely love this!
Next Time Ryan heads to PfI. I will try to head over with him. I will Bring my 16vt Jetta coupe from Washington. I race with Ryan and Aaron all the time down in Oregon.
GUYS!!! Holy sh*t! This is the 1st VDub I’ve ever seen you guys touch!!! Yeehaaa! 🍻Here’s to MANY more!
The 8 valve is phenomenal still; read the chapter on it in "The Design and Tuning of Competition engines" and you'll get an idea of just how Dope it is! And I'm a Honda guy!! I've always loved Dubs though; air cooled and water cooled, Bless Up!!! 🙌
The brazilians run this 8v VW engine up to 65psi 1300whp 9k RPM for decades now. It's very popular engine down there. The fastest they had run was 6.8s 1/4 mile on the RWD Chevette H pattern. I do have Gti 1.8T 20v mk4 pushing 620whp 50psi and then swapped to a small turbo for road race. Talk to with the guys at Fueltech Anderson and Luiz they are expert on this type of engine.
That's who we are chasing is Brazil 🇧🇷😀
I want to see this 1300hp 65psi. Built with SPA parts??
This is one of them with same engine with 16v and 8v. Normally they used 8v cylinder head for 1/8 mile because has more torq and 16v for 1/4 mile for top end.

Damn a 6.7 from that 16v then his chute didn't open... :0
@@conorjamesthomson That Chevette has been rebuilt after the crash. The top 10 Chevette run low 7s high 6s. Those VW Gol AWD and FWD run low 7s. If they could bring their cars here to US it will give a V8, GTR, Supra and Honda a big headache.
Awesome to see a VW on PFI, ask Anderson from Fueltech what we do with this things here in Brazil. 8, 16, 20 valves you name it.
Yeah buddy...8 valve is my thing bro. Was so stoked when I saw the caption. I dont think I clicked on a video faster than this. Thumbs up from cape town South Africa
Just awesome to see how excited the customer is after all said and done!! PFI kicked ass once again!!
Why we made the trek tons of help and knowledge and great people
hell yea im a vw 8vt owner too i was waiting for this day!!
Been following Ryan and the Smurf for years! It's super cool to see it at PFI (Been following PFI for years as well)! Let's goooooo!!
It's good to see people still improving the VW 8 valve engines. Seriously underrated and I believe they still have a lot of untapped potential. I've seen a lot about this car over the years, it's been making tons of power for a long time lol. One of the meanest MK2s out there.
This kinda shows how tuning and being a good tuner is different, Brent has the touch to look at what the car is showing him and giving it his touch to the max that car can take. He is confronted with so many combinations in his world and he is a master at dealing with the whatever.
That was really cool to see all the cars cages get certs, shows you guys really do care about safety.
Seeing a VW at PFI was a pleasant surprise. 😎
this engine its the most popular in Brazil ! we have all solution in parts .
We have some contacts in Brazil.
Wow man .. what a memories of the good ole 8 valve motor .. loved my vws back in the day
The shop walls look so much cleaner and brighter.
Amazing what a little paint can do.
Video seems a little clearer. Must be the extra light.
Can't wait to find out how Lyset runs this weekend.
Hopefully no more 2 1 2's
@@jamesmcivor340 he did a 1,2,1
It is the paint maken the video's look better. The lighting does increase alot with fresh white painted walls. I'm a 25year painter and I've painted many reading rooms white so it would help them see tto read.
Jessie’s dads Jetta has certainly come a long way 😅
I wish my 8v was pulling 600+ what a beast💪
Dudddddeeeeee!!!! This has been a dream of mine for a long time! My favorite engine is the 12v VR. But something about the 8v. They are really stout little engines!! So cool I wish I could give multiple thumbs up. AND it's an mk2!!!! 😍😍😍
Che k out my NA 12v was the fastest one until a few weeks ago
@@AaronCoyRacing Very nice! That car looks super fun! Im waiting for the time when a VR is on Brent's dyno! I'm on my second vr. 2000 tropical orange, 5 spd. Vw4lyfe. I'll be checking out of rest of your videos.
It's rad to see Ryan's hot rod on here and to see Aaron get to learn from the mastermind. Also to see Justin experience that weekend and have his company plastered on the video for 20 minutes. Way to go guys!
This brings back some memories....... I've still got my old Nub works ABA Sri sitting on the shelf from my corrado. It did 419whp back in the day and I had to cheat with spray to break 400 😆 600+ was unfathomable from a 8v back then. But don't let that fool you because 250 to 300 from a 8v VW is one of the best 4cyl combos for street fun ever. I eventually swapped to a 16v head and made a lot more power. But honestly it's never been as fun to drive as when it was the 8v head.
Tell me about the 16v!! Tell me EVERYTHING!!!! >:)
@@conorjamesthomson it used a 2l ABA obd1 block with the early forged crank,pauter rods,1.8 16v head with some minor porting, I ran 8v aba pistols first but cr was around 8 to 1 so had custom ones done but I think 2l 16v but don't hold me too it because it's been like 15 years. The rest of the motor needed a 2l 16v passat intermediate shaft and oil pump.16v timing belt gears and iirc about 5mm milled off the 2l 8v aba crank gear because the 16v timing belt/gears are wider than the 8v t belt stuff. So you need to mill the pulley to make the accessories line up. I also had to modify the 8v distributor and use the 16v one on the head instead of block. I gutted the 8v dizzy putting the trigger window and sensor into into the 16v distributor and then I think I used the empty 8v dizzy in the block. But again it's been years. But that's essentially the cliff notes on using factory VW parts. At one time BBM Motorsports sold some aftermarket parts to do it too. But VW motors up to the 20v are like Legos and I also ran a 2l ABA 8v block with the 20v head in my old Audi B5. That thing ran mid tens in full street trim and put 538 to all 4 wheels running out of turbo. It was the same bottom end with schrick cams,mahle pistons , Tial v banded 35r Garrett and a pag parts v banded manifold.
I also did a 8v with carbs and a little nitro back in the day too 😆 we never dynod that because it was all spare parts. But going by weight and trap speed it was getting close to 180-200hp before going boom 😆
The Smurf is wicked! I've never seen anything like that ever
Brent is a Bad mother lover being able to deal with any clutch lmao love it !!!!!!!😁🔥
Ryan Cornelison awesome to see the Smurf again brotha!!!!
The shop is really coming along. Excited for you guys. 🤙
The dust on the roller made me smile during the pull
This is my favourite episode by far, being from Cape Town South Africa these 8v motors are very popular and is some peoples bread and butter, I too own a VW Mk1 2litre 8v 😃
Always going to watch PFI over anyone else first, Sho nuf 🤙
Very different build for sure! Unique one of a kind!
Love this little 8v that can make some great power for such a small engine ... 🐌 💪
Aba is the k series of VW absolute legend
Woooooooooo 8 valve tom said it is insane
Heidi sneaking around the back taking pics. You cant hide from us!! Such a cool car especially since its a single cam. Awsum!!!
The intake is cool and so is that funnel into the turbo
I love how you never know what is going to be on the dyno next
Thats an angry smurf!!
Shop is changing its appearance once again, the tuxedo look is awesome! 🤵♂️
The best tips on here. Definitely swapping a few T fittings to lil lines
That intake/scoop is crazy, I like it.
650hp from a little 8 valve engine that's nuts!
I was in Oregon with my team and our electric drag car an couple years back when they put an hole in there block, we blew up are transmission too. Oh well. That car was awesome to look at and fun guys to talk too
They've been fighting some issues the past couple seasons.
That block is still on the floor at the shop. We cracked it in half
I remember that day very well!!!
VW love, our kinda video. 👍
Let's GOOOOOOOO!!! My best friend told me his buddies were headed to you for a tune, way rad!!!
That engines are amazing, on brasil people make over 1000whp on this 8 valves engines...
Such a neat little car! I'm loving all the dub love here lately 🖤. Vw' s are some of the most fun cars to play with
1/2 hour of power. Love it!!
that lil one in one out is making some noise. really digging it
very impressive 8v ,nice to see a vw and a mk2
8 valve motors are so impressive. such a sick video
It’s cool seeing a VW in your shop. I’m currently doing a MK2 GTI VR6 swap myself. Kudos 🤙
Brent have you ever thought about doing a video on your back story? I'd love to learn how you got where you are.
I definitely would enjoy learning more about Brent as well as what brought him to this. One thing that I can say though is that there is a good deal of recent history that can be found by watching all the old videos however I'm sure that there is a great deal more that could make an awesome video or series of videos.
Brent came out the womb with a laptop n some dyno sauce
Hell yeah, Brent..
Please do a bio story..?
I'm a 8/23/1974 baby so we're not to far apart in age. I'd love to learn your history bro... I'm a welder fabricator, so what Sean does is up my alley but the vid's from Kyle and seeing your attitude (always positive) reeled me in to your channel. Your optimism towards challenges is the best!! Thanks Brent and keep pushing forward man.
brent is a master of his craft and is all ways adapting and over coming love you work and cant wait for the future for you guys i forsee big things for pfi👍🤙
I got all excited thinking Josh Joyce's Papa Smurf had resurfaced... Nice build
What a beast for 8 valves! I'm a little sad I missed everybody when I stopped by the shop yesterday lol! I was just cruising by on my way driving to Miami. But I was stoked I was able to meet/chat Sean!! The place looks amazing with the walls all painted. BADASS big ol American flag! I love it.
Massive shoutout to the boys in the PNW! Big moves!
I’m looking forward to seeing this at pacific waterland this year
We will be there!
I really appreciate your shots of all the engine bays you shoot. You seem to pay attention to every aspect of all the components in each system of the engine bay.
Cool to Tom back at the shop
Wow what a ride! And they're from Oregon, i miss it over there. 🤙🤙 I'm excited for the weekend!
I love 8v's, had a rowdey Vauxhall Astra GTE 2.0 8v back in the day and it loved to race :).
Yes! I'm a euro guy! Although I do love Hondas. This is my jam!
Those little 8v engines can take some serious boost. My buddy had a 87 golf with a built 8v and a big turbo. It was terrifying.
Great stuff guys👍 Brent having fun getting the Smurf to roll out 🤣 Jamie, get some "petroleum" tape instead of Teflon, it's usually pink,orange,green and stands up to all types of fuel where as the Teflon with fail over time.
8 valves love turbos
The custom intake to turbo inlet is badass.
Finally some Volkswagen dyno action.🤩👍
crazy to think how much more that set up would make with a 16v head
Eight big valves flow more than 16 little ones
@@alleydee9226 no they don’t there is a Company that makes an 8v head that follows as much as a 16v head but the 16v head flows way more
@@alleydee9226 not when it comes to VW heads. All of the high powered 4cyl VWs are using either 1.8t heads (20 valve) or older 16v heads.
It would make more yes but how many 8v making 600+ hp I admit I’m dumb but love being different and seeing what we can do
If we need more I have a couple custom cast heads from spa turbo Brazil being built right now
@@ryancornelison1382 i actually had a couple close to me that made mid 400s with just a basic build. One was in a mk2 gti and the other was a mk3 jetta. I get why you want to do it. But most of the time being different comes at a cost. what i find more interesting than the fact that its an 8v is that intake manifold and huge forward facing exhaust manifold!
No matter what it is, you just kill it, love the channel and keep it up mate 👌
Where's Tom's daily sock check lol also that vw screams it's bad I can't wait to see him make a pass in it now
Glad to see a vw on the Dyno love it
We have lots
Bro Brett nothing made me more happy and brought a year to my eye in this video then goofy's cage getting certed so proud of him and the rest of you guys for passing but that did bring a tear to my eye
Todd is such an underrated badass
Thanks so much these 8v dont get love and ik there was so much potential in them
This is the inspiration I needed I just got a manual 92 golf with an 8v
Bout time see a vw let alone a single cam
And it's a 2door Jetta. Wow Iv been looking for one.pretty Rare
You are a beast if you can handle that clutch in LA traffic.
MORE VW Content please I love it!
Wow that is so sick to see that motor making some real jam!! My first car was an 86 Jetta GL, it had a whopping 85 hp with a 3 speed auto. Always thought it needed something like this!
I remember when I had a 98 Jetta vr6 and put a 64/66 turbo on it. What a blast
This is Awesome!
LETS GO 👏👍
Oh its a Jetta! Haven't seen those been build for drag racing! :D Thats a mid 12 sec car with 653 horses
I’m not a VW person. I actually absolutely HATE working on them. But this is a rad ride for sure.
I miss my old vw golf 2 (from denmark) 1,8 8valve gti with digifant injection it was fun
Sick lil vw great power
Never though id see on VW on this channel. glad to see some euro love
Yet again you guys have created another beautiful monster. This channel is the tits... Always great energy on this channel it's just awesome.
love seeing the vw content back in 05 i felt like the only one that had a 1.8t passat with 500whp i liked it because of the engine orientation made it so easy to work on and no one expected the grandma hippy car to smoke procharged vettes lol
I just seen one of these in my home town hamilton ontario and im not sure what kind of v8 it was but she had a ford 9" in the back pure beauty
I love a 8 valve , have one myself 👌💥💥💥
I would love to see a video of you guys going to woodburn drag strip(home track of the Smurf) and potentially race with my dad, or at least watch
I wish there were some more sho nuff or bully content, those have to be my favorites
Fierce one, looks like something out of Mad Max, great video thanks :)
Good to see Kev
It used to be cleetus and boozted boiz with a little pfi but know it's all pfi..Brett is just the raddest dude ever .ps. hope the Smurf don't get a cease and desist eg the grinch
Finally this video been waiting for it along time...good stuff guys
Jetta coupe'!! Nice...
