Jim's an amazing dude, and everyone in the shop is so nice. Very personable people, glad to say I'm good friends with them. Happy to spend money in their shop any time.

Are those tips available somewhere?

Always cool to see a master of his craft

Any chance the titanium will make its way to the VW market?

Run mine with J tubes, made my car not sound like lawn equipment

Wish you guys would support the type 4 engine a bit more

rod is the man👍

Looking forward to 964 specific parts. But this new crankshaft pulley looks the business.

Exelente y para el beetle tambien la van a hacer ?

The damn music sucks, it could have been a good video..

EMPI inc .... the maximum

Going on my '58 Beetle, ordered.

Leno is a total beast! He knocked that together like its Legos. Calibrated fingers, Oh yeah, that's 0.017". Skills like this become lost to time, try googling for VW Type 1 Service in your area, or look on Samba, over half the mom & pop VW shops have closed in the last 12-15 years. Everything is disposable now from appliances to cars to relationships. I have a 1984 Chenowth former US Army FAV that will start restoration this Fall, Rancho is going to be one of the first calls about an 091.

For all budgets! Too often we see crazy engines but how many are used, here it's mainly for people driving their cars. Great.

I enjoy these shop visits. Normal real people doing good work.

Wow I was doing the same stuff in 1977...built many nice motors.. Was in usaf in North dakota. My car was a vette eater.lol

Very good !!!!

Will this exhaust work on a 1200cc 40hp?

Hello, I have purchased this kit and I am currently working on the setup. So far I am quite pleased with the product (except for missing parts from the kit, that should hopefully be shipped ASAP). But I have a more important problem : I can't find the Throttle Position Sensor reference (TPS) that can be attached to the throttle body with the specific "2 teeth" 7mm shaft ending (NOT A "D" SHAPED SHAFT). No one at EMPI seems to have the info, no instruction were shipped with the parts, even though it's obviously a MAJOR information to install a proper setup with this kit. Can you help ? Thanks

Hey Rob ! It is easy to get parts for our busses now than 40 years ago , thanks to the internet !

👍👍👍

Hey Empi! I have a 66 bug with the early style bumper. Will the tips for this exhaust be long enough to stick out a bit past the bumper? What’s the approximate measurement of the tips in inches maybe? I just don’t want them to be too short.

@nevadaoffroadbuggy I was wondering if EMPI was going to stop in and see you guys, love this shop I buy parts there as needed, they definitely help me keep my air-cooled bug running, and i like supporting a local shop first.

What torque rating do these carry? 200, 300?

Wow. Should've washed BEFORE the test fit on the needle bearing.

A perfect blend of new and old.

That is Badass, wow, serious cool factor. Love it

Nice work John

good too know when your out in vegas you can get parts. Probably good for Rodder Files.

amazing it will be a nice fit on my 75. Great work again Empi. it always starts with a dream.

You need to visit Bow Wow in Monroe WA. Lots of history to the name.

Nice, i got 165/65R15 tire and do it will rub

It is so nice to see a pro assembling a bug trans. Your attention to detail is incredible.

Loved seeing this video. I ran the Bugformance in Santa Cruz back in the 80’s. Glad to see the guys are still at it.

Your post no numbers you get no thumbs up. It’s simple.

I drove by place every day,but didn't get a chance go inside,say hello.

Had a kit made by west coast classic, I don’t like the mohair headliner that I got with the kit, I’m gonna go with the tweed headliner from sewfine!

Great content. If it were me, I would do flash images showing the empi parts used with part numbers for each engine. Shouldn't take much editing or cut time, there was plenty of down time before and during pulls.

tale my money

AWESOME!

Saudações do Brasil! Aqui a cultura e Lifestyle aircooled é muito forte! Venham nos visitar! 😊

Earlier i wasnt on team empi but im glad ive been proven wrong. My new motor has a c/w crank fron you guys.

Imagine seeing one of these in a VW Bus 👌🏼

These videos illustrate well the difference jetting can make. Drastic changes in hp depending on jets

What a horrible tune to show up to a engine comp with but then jetting carbs never was his thing

Air cooled bettle motor, highly modded?

This is a low compression street engine and will be a monster in a car. Great guy built a great engine. @jbugs

216hp 133tq is pretty good numbers for this 2110 with non welded Empi manifolds.

The #s from day to day are just way off. Why did every single engine lose so much on finals day? No replication at all.

Greetings from the UK, what a fantastic event and great bunch of guys. I loved every second watching it all 👍
