[@jeffreymueller7397]

Many a year ago i was a VW mechanic, parts runner here in AUSTIN TEXAS,my boss was Bill Parsons and Rick

[@wadefredheim3677]

Can you guys get that type of power out of a Porsche 1.7 or 2.0 from a 914?

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

Very sweet motor, though won't that exhaust cause clearance issues?

[@talder44]

why no intercooler ever on these engines?

[@johnpinckard4166]

Dam neer sounds like a small block chevy.

[@jacquesfontein714]

One more reason to buy CB Performance parts. I'll never buy cheap imitations again.

[@leonardgmiller8924]

maybe I missed it but only heard him say 272hp anyway I had my own machine shop in Adelaide South Australia V.R.M.S Miller Racing I used to run a '62 model Beetle with a few mods 2180cc Bugpac crank Carrillo rods NPR 92 mm pistons total seal rings top[expansion] and second [total seal] Teflon buttons instead of circlips Scat individual cylinder heads 52mm inlet valves 42mm exhaust valves 2inch exhaust I built to sound wave theory lengths with 27 and 3/4 inch megaphone a lot of working theory went into it, the exhaust. I had Hilborn intake manifolds with 48 IDA webers 47.5mm venturis 7.2mm made needle and seats [all the special stuff I made myself I had my own machine shop back then], the late 80's. Ran 2 fuel pumps one high pressure one high volume low pressure ran 1" fuel line to the pumps and half inch to each carby [fuel consumption was shithouse 6 to 8 litres burn out and quarter mile run] hey I had fun. Valve springs were progressive I designed them and had them built in the USA $400 for 8 double valve springs back then was a lot of money. I ran a special Scat cam built as a one off almost rectangular lobes with 1.5.to one roller rockers 757 thou valve lift 312 degrees of duration the engine "idled" at 3,500 rpm extremely lumpy it didn't smooth out till 5500 and kicked you in the guts the engine red lined at 10,000 checked on an engine dyno, I built it on a whim I hated in those days to be told I couldn't do something and someone walked into my shop oneday with and American VW DRAGSTER magazine and showed me they were getting 10,000 rpm from there motors and said I couldn't do it so I did hey it cost in real terms the better part of $18,000 if I had to pay for everything I mean the Scat heads were $4,000 each so I bought second hand ones and rebuilt them retempered them and they worked fine. Anyway I had a lot of fun with that car the body is still around the engine got detuned I built a set of street heads for it put a Scat c35 and 45mm Delortoes on it, it is still going believe it or not just taken out on special occasions by the guy I sold it to. I suppose the main reason I spoke here was my motor at 4500 rpm only had 54hp at 5500 rpm it had 250hp at 6500 275+ then it broke the mounts on my mates engine dyno, it wasn't pretty to look at it never ran any tin wear, no cooling at all, if the cylinder head temp got over 500 degrees Farenhieght I had to pull out because it would get way to hot at the end of the quarter other wise. I mixed the fuel I used myself it was only stable for 24 hours then it went to jelly and unusable for anything but party tricks. I preheated the oil before every run, they always frowned at me on the start line because at idle fuel spilt every where but at 10k it used everything, it was built for a dare and for fun and every time I got slack at work I would run it and be that damn busy I didn't have time to run it, a motor like that got dismantled every race meeting just to check things so they didn't break. I know where all the parts are if I ever had the money I would buy everything back and rebuild it just for fun, like I never heard it from the back but the guys that used to help me said it hurt peoples ears at full noise to me all I heard was 2 very loud weber carbies which had air intakes inside the body just with flame arrestors over them incase of back fires , the body and chasis is still around just need a gearbox tyres and the parts it would only be run once a year but I would donate it to a museum in Adelaide in honour of my father who just passed away and during his life he started work on VW's and Porsches in 1958 and worked on them til he semi retired in 1996 even then helped out many many people his nick name in Adelaide was Dr. Porsche, hey I even went for my drivers licence in a 1953 356a 1300 super Porsche oh of only I still had that car today. Anyway thanks for reading I hope you made sense of it and it was all in fun good ol Volkswagens hey. Oh my cars name Volks Revenge. Just have to add one thing it was lethal to drive only ever ran Avon racing rubber on 4.5 inch rims they would break away at any speed whenever they felt like it so much so I held the record for speed going backwards over the speed traps at Adelaide International raceway 95.86mph BACKWARDS I do not know who out there has ever tried that but when you have a concrete wall both sides it's some scary shit, they made me put a roll cage in it after that effort LOL they estimated my speed before the car went airborne at in excess of 130mph because as anyone who runs the quarter knows the speed is measured over 132feet that is 66 feet before the end of the quarter to 66 feet after and my car had stopped within 60 feet after the end of the speed trap that is how some boffin worked out my estimated speed when the car let go, good spectator value, but change of underwear needed LOL

[@nealefrazer4247]

Geezus H Leonard....that is a skillset with the humble aircooled..

[@jonnun7713]

As much as I love the air-cooled VW I can't believe I just fucking read all of that

[@banjobob9409]

Hi, I could realy use some advice from you is there any chance I could have some kind of contact details please I would realy appreciate it. Thanks

[@freddaniali]

I love this guy... built me a motor in 2000 and still runs great today!

[@kenstogner2427]

Motors Are Electric ENGINEs use fuel

[@freddaniali]

@@kenstogner2427 no... not necessarily.

[@aslmx1918]

I told the boat dealership something like this also. I told the owner that I bought a boat from him 20 years ago and it still runs great. He told me that people like me will put him out of business. Lol

[@jwhrivnak]

Pat, great video. It would be nice if you could do step by step on setting the engine up for EFI. Thanks for the video

[@joshcosta423]

This is the kind of video y'all need to be putting out.

[@eyecam286]

i still run my 2276 cc from 1984 with low comp 7:1 so i can run poop petrol

[@aphex14]

Nice!!! Your Turbos have come a long way since I read about your early set ups back in the 80's!...Great stuff!!!

[@RacerX-124]

252/248 @ a fairly modest 9 PSI. That's very respectable.

[@BBugnOut]

Well done CB Performance Mark is going to be one happy man!

[@carloseduardodeoliveiralei6224]

jesus christ this is a fucking plane engine (im not wrong thou..)

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Well i got to hand it to you guys not only is it a good performing and sounding motor it sure is a good looking one in my younger days of wrenching on some of my old Beetles usually the engine was a big heavy and oily bunch of parts bolted together and the only way for me to know how well it really performed was to jump in the drivers seat and go for a drive that was our Hillbilly Dyno lol

[@Howrider65]

Would of been nice to have this in my Bug....DAMN!

[@DanTheManIOM]

A split window bus definitely needs 310 HP ! -oh hell yes !

[@MrScottiedub]

That might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Nice work!

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Damn that is nice ! I cant figure out what i like more the look or the sound that is one heck of a engine build !

[@milesclifford-nicholson278]

How long do these engines last with this much power?

[@spamthese7221]

Love how clean this motor is with no distributor or fuel pump. Straight badass right there.

[@mikecarmean6446]

Extremely Clean Engine! Well Done CB... 💥💥💥💥💥 Would have installed Porsche Air Fan and Housing instead of junk VW

[@mazikeenflowers]

Beetle tins are better, although they are more ugly.

[@Rudywtf]

what am i missing? it was full throttle for six seconds and nothing happened until the seventh.

[@ducatimikep]

This. Scratching my head with this too. Can’t be 6 seconds lag with that small of a compressor housing.

[@CBperformance]

This is how the dyno software works. It holds a load until the RPM stabilizes, and then starts ramping in the RPM load and recording results.

[@MREnzoHerbie]

Do not you think chrome pulleys will make it has less grip on the belt and, consequently, less spin on the alternator, which means less cooling on the engine and less charging?

[@antoniovillanueva308]

In a 1700lb Beetle this should FLY!

[@louisvanrijn3964]

The ghost behind the curtain is the cilinderhead temperature. The cooling surface is limited on the small air heads. I can only see 175 degree cilinderhead temperature during the runs, which is no prove for a longer run under boost ( mountain climb, bug race). The heads start to creep, to disstort above 225 C and loose their thighness (torque value). Over the leak path (blow path) the head will erode or melt. The initial engines of the B29 bomber were powerfull enough, but all thermally restricted. If you make power (30%), you make the heat (70%) . I had like that CB would give a maximum contineous power value, at say 15 C ambient temperature, just as aero engines do. This value must be matched to 1000 running hours.

[@MoonBernie]

I wonder. Lets say I put this type of engine in a vw superbug for historic rally here in Europe. What needs allot of accelerating and decelerating, would it have a long lifespan? Because I do this as a hobby. For Fun... And I dont have the time tinkering every day to get the car ready every weekend.

[@sidewayssam]

Brilliant vid, and stunning engine, runs so much smoother with efi...have you tried megasquirt?

[@pierreduplessis1507]

2276cc turbo motor sounds like fun. why doesnt cb performance build a supercharged motor?

[@CBperformance]

Pat has always wanted to, but there is a lot of cost involved. Also, they don't make the power that turbo engines do, they just look and sound cool. Thanks.

[@speedbuggy16v]

Awesome Pat, I built one of the earlier versions for a customer. It was incredible, this is even better.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I get confused, I seen some with 2332cc and they said they only had about 140hp. I knew that seemed odd

[@barryfields2964]

The title to the video said 310, but you said 256. So, which one of you are lying?

[@OOICU812]

Love that sound!

[@casconie]

Well Down Pat :-)~ now we need to see a 2387cc(Strip Dominator Heads) Pat Downs Turbo Motor put out 600hp with the same footprint of this motor, E-85 . hope this ain't out of your reach pat or asking for too much. Melbourne

[@nilojornales8962]

melbourne e. adams jr. Q

[@burtonashbrook8912]

I would love to see that as I have put together a 2332 with a C.B. hybrid turbo,redline EFI and a set of strip dominator heads with 48×38 valves for my street car

[@macinfloydvolk]

WAY way more acceptable than throwing a Subaru motor in a VW

[@Redsun156]

How does it works on long-distance?

[@killerknight226]

How much would it cost to have you build this exact same motor for my 1972 vw beetle

[@CBperformance]

Lets see, it cost around 12k in March of 2016, so probably around 14k, but that's just a rough estimate. Pat can get you more specifics on the price if you are interested in having him build you one.

[@charlesgraham9954]

very first engine i built was a 2276 back in 1987

[@MrPrimitiveman]

That’s very impressive! Is an engine like this good for an every day driver or is it a weekend/racetrack kind of thing?

[@MrPrimitiveman]

Thank you for the response.

[@wixte]

Bad daily driver? Cause I heard 2100cc is most you can go if you daily drive.

[@pauldiaz4273]

Yup turbos on VW aircooled motors are hair dryers! Not good for daily driving

[@TBGaels32]

I wonder if this EFI system will run on the type 4 motors.

[@briarfox637]

Just another example that people with lots of money get to have the best fun.

[@jormangonzalez3769]

Good job, what is the price of such an engine?

[@monica93304]

Pat is a living legend. Great products.

[@mosaditsi9722]

WHat is the price/cost for this engine?

[@leohess230]

nice work of art

[@JBrantley728]

so if someone were to build this exact same motor but maybe in a slightly larger size like say a 2332cc or 2387cc and run 15 ibs of boost they'd easily top 400+ horsepower. damn I really want CB performance to build my engine lol

[@jon9932002]

Great video, thanks

[@user-gg4of8kj6y]

Van you do that to my 1835 please 😮

[@gunsnsails]

In the video you said it made 252hp. The title of the video says it made 310. I have questions...

[@saltydog888]

Jeez that sounds nice..

[@josehuaman4265]

very nice!

[@joseantoniocardenasescamil9426]

i need it in my bug.

[@mikemakuh5319]

310 hp?? Thought you said it made 250??

[@CBperformance]

252 HP and 248 Ft/lbs. Torque @ 9 PSI 310 HP and 298 Ft/lbs. Torque @ 14 PSI Different HP readings at Different Boost Levels.

[@83alpinab9]

No 310hp here "8 PSI boost, 252hp, 249 ft lbs torque" @ 1:00. Dont get me wrong here because those are great numbers, but a far cry from 310hp. Still a super nice piece of work with all the goodies.

[@sandrocapriotti8033]

Congratulations CBPerformance, beautiful and powerful, what a guarantee of quality for everyday use and for trips of 800-1000 km, get to Chimay Belgium and make a good result at the fourth mile races ;-)? with gearbox, suspension, brakes etc. adequate to the power

[@nitrokiller9959]

What would I need to make about 150hp on an n/a motor? Is that possible. I don’t know much about beetle engines. I’ve been wanting to build a chopped up beetle. But make it more like a race car. Idk. Just trying to get ideas on cost and difficulty.

[@vallanddess]

functional piece of art!

[@derJackistweg]

252hp with a Turbo? Doesn't sound to much for me. Out of the 90ies I know some people her in GER that had 220 from a 2.9 typ 4 n/a. A 2,1l n/a with 170. Alright, it's different numbers measured on 9 and 14 pounds of boost. I didn't see that in the description. 310 sound sufficient thought 😀

[@dermotshaw5722]

OK, I need one of these for my trike

[@davidhoran593]

I built mine in 89 with 92.5 pistons and jugs fuel feeder racing cam trick flo heads and a offenhouser intake running a holley 650 cfm and had a 200 pound flywheel and pulled 400 ehp after spin-up and did three dyno pulls then 1 run on the track twisting my 74 super beatle then had to send the engine home to NY. and after 8 months my father gave it to his friend who raced the engine for five years before kaboom

[@kinghasan9828]

I luv engine will this engine will fit my1969 vw .i luv to have .i rather like have your address to have look.luv what u got luv to u and all Vw lovers.Tc😍😍😍😍😍

[@Apilgrim108]

Wondering what the MPG is? That would suggest the efficiency, somewhat, of the engine.

[@BRIAN-nd2lc]

Is there a 3D model of this engine because i would love to build this engine but i would add alittle more HP to my beetle because I'm building a RWB, JDM beetle if anyone cares so yeah

[@orbitaljellyfish808]

4:28 why is there an edit right here?

[@joshears2003]

How much is something like this

[@all_about-You]

what ever happened to the old school, Bill and Steves, Demelo cranks. Dave faults record. and of course Bob hydes VW repair. ?

[@sachinr2211]

Beautiful motor.

[@josecortez5213]

If I had that engine I would ask for new but corroded looking parts. Too many thieves in southern California.

[@cobragarage527]

I would like to know how much this engine cost? Can someone give me information? I have a Volkswagen 1968 and would like to install it.

[@CBperformance]

This engine was a custom build for a customer over a year ago. A Turbo Engine with custom powder coating, stainless steel exhaust, Gen4 EFI and built by Pat Downs would start out over $12,000.

[@michaelluciano1980]

Beautiful job

[@willwilldantas]

what is the difference between Fueltech competitor and CB Performance products?

[@obiel3c]

Where you guys are located

[@tlachixketl6665]

Me encantó también ese motor, cuánto cuesta uno de esos Pat? Y se necesita alguna relación de caja de velocidades en particular para sacarle todo el provecho a ese motor?

[@AthenaKBond]

My favorite sound. the sounds of Herbie the Love Bug at full speed

[@Dabber422]

Whats this worth also live in Canada? Trying to figure out if I want a VW Bug

[@scottoden4144]

my engine made 310hp.... but its painted hearing aid brown

[@fullmetalfreedom]

Un freaking believable

[@geh3254]

Cool vid. Looks like a VW engine but I'm sure its not. Get a VW big bore kit and you have no cylinder wall left, don't think they would of lasted a second here. Nice engine, that would give someone a run for there money. I have ~565HP FI 2010 Camaro. Keep wrenching

[@CBperformance]

It is, in fact, a VW Engine!

[@zarakeys]

How much is this engine, I am good with a 150hp engine?

[@ThePaulv12]

I wonder what an inline barrel type liquid to air intercooler would do?

[@ArizonaOval]

wow!! very nice!

[@edwardstuart7138]

Is there anyway to build this in dual exhaust like a standard beetle?

[@DaBuGzLiFe]

Pat Downs? Was that meant to be funny? I don't mean to be an ass

[@newmantv5668]

$12,000 for 310hp, is that a good rate? Not being funny trying to get back into the bugs.

[@CBperformance]

Part of that price-point is the the fact that it would be built by Master Engine Builder Pat Downs.

[@frank09busa]

12k for 310 hp is ridiculous in every make of cars except for aircooled Veedub. Bug motors are designed with 8mm and 10 mm studs and expecting these tiny parts to hold 14.3 psi plus additional 9 psi on top of that, takes engineering. On domestic application where things are held by 12mm to 16mm studs can hold 40 psi plus just by relying on strength and not much else. Famous quote, how fast can you afford to go ?

[@comethiburs2326]

this! if you want horses, go watercooled. a subaru turbo does this from factory...

[@OpasJDGarage]

Crazy Canadian!

[@panwolf1969]

That's a good average on a air cooled engine. That's why I had to step away from them... Went through 2 engines in 2 years at an average of $10k-$15k per engine and accessories. Honestly, it was my own fault. I live in a very warm climate (100+ in the summer time in West TX., N.M., AZ.). Running a 2332 daily, I was asking for problems...

[@hok4952]

Marks got pockets!!! Whats a motor like this go for

[@user-vt4yf5li8k]

Looks like this car is for sale one hour away from me.

[@furrytom9439]

that shit will fit type 1 with decklid fully closed

[@markogonzalez6019]

Hy how much the engien is good for me beetle 66

[@MrLukealbanese]

Great work guys. Do you not use an intercooler though?

[@cn9a_loewen]

Curious as to how you vent the boost? I can't seem to find the blow off valve on your turbo system? Are you doing something different?

[@0cTeT]

Mackenzie Loewen they could be running a stealth diverter valve. vws like them more than bovs

[@halleffect1]

Jeeze, finally a turbo bug motor without carb. thank you!

[@idahooutdoorsman69]

How much power would a similar build without a turbo make?

[@CBperformance]

Our most recent dyno video features a 2276cc Carbureted engine that produced 170hp. You could even potentially get up to 200hp out of that size, by swapping out a few components.

[@xsavierneogeo1569]

that sounds like enough fun
