G'day Kevin from Australia. Great video ill watch this again you have some cool ideas. One thing I would do is the first fitting you put through the oil filler I would cut the length of it back the least amount in the oil filler as possible and check that thread tape. You don't want any excess to go for a walk and end up blocking a oil gallery. ✌

[@JWClassicVW]

Very good idea brother!! I'll probably do that tonight!! Thanks!!

[@chrisburnsed6349]

I did this and it works great! I also installed a/n fittings from my electric fuel pump to carbs.

[@JWClassicVW]

Excellent!

[@VWJawbreaker]

I always love the way the an fittings look. Nice job 👍

[@JWClassicVW]

Sooooooo Clean and makes it way easier to work on. Love this Evil Energy stuff!

[@OwhyeeVdub]

I have one breather for the oil stand and valve covers. I also added a catch can breather from the fuel pump block off I ran that line to my carburetor.

[@JWClassicVW]

There are so many breather options out there. Anyway you can vent the engine is going to help your seals.

[@haskyb9184]

Such a perfectionist, Jason. Even your wing nuts are all turned to the same angle 😂

[@JWClassicVW]

Lol... that wasn't on purpose. Thanks brother!

[@MarsGarage333]

Thanks amazing video, i want to do it to mine and notice video was made 4 year ago and do the breather box was working good. and I'm curious about the small filter can you connect only to your carb filter.

[@busman5429]

That improves the show quality follow the same theme with the oil cooler.

[@JWClassicVW]

You know it DAN, the show guys are gonna love it!! Gonna start a trend!!! lol

[@a.j.8926]

do you need to vent the oil filler AND the top of the case/fuel pump block-off plate?? aren't they the same pressure??. I love the way this looks and I am going to do the same thing, probably with only one breather though.

[@beardedwonder2413]

Nice work 👍🏼

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks man

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Hey JW You got more crank case venting than a 396 going on there? thats as far as you need to go. On my 63 I did not have the springs on the deck lid and would remove the hinge holder off . It was a 40hp and I would pull the fan shroud and gen. off fold up a towel ,grab the intake and drop and install the motor by hand . and to get it out from under the bug me a Joe lifted the back end over the motor, all by hand . Now we aint young no more . both in our 60s. You really have a nice bug !!!!!

[@JWClassicVW]

Thank you so much Jimmy!!! Goose is my baby and I just love working on her, reminds me of working on them with my dad when I was a kid. Thanks for being her brother!!

[@ernestescamilla481]

thanks for sharing. Great video

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielheinz8134]

Looks good, I plan on doing the same with my engine. I did see some bad reviews on evil energy fittings and lines. I know there is always one person that complains. I just want to make sure the longevity of the material is good. Else where these fittings can be super pricey.

[@JWClassicVW]

So far I have no complaints for either the -6 or -8, I have seen that the kits are becoming more difficult to find. I used the -6 for all of my fuel lines and -8 for my breather system and I love it!

[@danielheinz8134]

@@JWClassicVW cool thanks! I was thinking of doing the ptfe with black nylon.

[@joshcosta423]

Take those boxes to a local fabricator and have them tig those VS bungs in. No ugly washers necessary that way.

[@JWClassicVW]

Great idea... I'll look into it. I know a few that may be able to do it for me.

[@hawynstyl]

Hey Jason.. Been looking for that alltenator wire terminal black connector cover. where can i find that puppy thanks.

[@JWClassicVW]

Bro I have a bunch of them from battery installs I use to do. I'm sure you can find them cheap on amazon.... or IM me your address in the FB group or email me and I'll drop one in the mail.

[@wilfredleeling2776]

Hey maybe I missed it Why did you run a external filter on breather box?

[@GT.Bugger]

Nice fittings.. I like that they do away with jubilee clips, looks much neater. I've only got a 1641 but I know it needs help to breathe. I've got a stick filler and I'm wondering if I can cut down the breather pipe and tap it similar to what you did in this video and feed it to one of my carbs?

[@JWClassicVW]

Are you talking about the stock oil fill, with the single breather port that comes out of the top?

[@GT.Bugger]

@@JWClassicVW yes, sorry... Typing too fast

[@GT.Bugger]

@@JWClassicVW will the parts you have used work for that

[@Mikefngarage]

Wow I usually use 1 box and mount it behind the shroud so when I pull the engine it is all contained.

[@JWClassicVW]

Yes, I've seen that and it's a great idea! I think I just had this idea in my brain and went with it... I really like how it looks, people are like WOW!! what is going on in there!! lol

[@terryfleming7084]

Very nice!👍🏼

Thanks Terry!! It turned out super cool looking!

Hay Jason I also want to build a 1600 engine , being a guy we all would want max horse power for no extra cost, is there perhaps a motor combination that is your favourite for street like cc, cam size ,Carbies, also taking cost into account we like max bang for our buck thanks buddy. Harry

[@JWClassicVW]

This is a tough one brother... getting HP means spending money. There are some small gains to be made across the board with creative head porting, exhaust, carbs, and CAM choices. As for my favorite budget build, I've already done it with my 2276cc. Great power band with room for upgrades and improvements as I've made gradually over time.

[@jamiepezoulas4546]

Did you use insert nuts to mount those breather boxes to the firewall?

[@JWClassicVW]

Nope 1/4 inch stainless hardware holding them through the firewall.

[@jamiepezoulas4546]

JW Classic VW oh they go all the way through.

[@gutshotgriz3936]

Just a thought...rather than cutting down the anodized nuts, couldn’t you rely on the compression fitting to cinch down on the nipples on the breather boxes? If you need to tweak it to get a tight fit you could use crush washers on either side of the nipples. In any case, really enjoy watching you work.

[@JWClassicVW]

Can't do that with AN fittings the 37 degree fitting needs to completely seat or it will leak all over. The real fix is to use weld in bungs... just haven't stepped up to that level yet.

[@1eyerock]

So vintage speed ships from TW???

[@JWClassicVW]

Yup... they sure do.

[@1eyerock]

@@JWClassicVW You couldnt find them anywhere else in the US of A? I just bought the hoses and it's unfortunate that they dont come together. How long does it take to arrive? I just placed the order on Friday.

[@Goinbig]

Step 1: Wrap the hose in Electrical tape in area to be cut. Step 2: Use a cutting disk on a grinder and make cut. Step 3: slip fitting on hose, no clean up with scissors. Give it a try!

[@JWClassicVW]

Already done with the install but thanks for the info brother!

[@theslamer67]

what size motor do you have ?

[@JWClassicVW]

2276cc brother, about to be changing out to a 2275cc turbo efi.

[@theslamer67]

@@JWClassicVW nice thanks

[@Mikefngarage]

1835 or larger is my opinion or high revving engine.

[@JWClassicVW]

Yes, with the venting I have I think I could fly Goose to the moon!! lol

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Let's hope that teflon tape doesn't get sucked in the engine or carburetors and clogged something. 😟

[@JWClassicVW]

Yeah... you might be right... I'm going to go back and trim the fitting down some to make it more flush on the inside of the fill. Maybe I'll use the liquid tape that I have. May be better, thanks for the comment brother!!!

[@samuelblevins6248]

thats why you should use yellow teflon tape. its amde for oil and fuel

[@JWClassicVW]

@@samuelblevins6248 Thanks for the comment Sam... check out the 2nd video... you'll see that I used Loctite 592... which is resistant to Oil and Fuel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6O0p5Rjd551sNk Loctite 592 documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A8f0fb6ca-ef20-4038-b3bd-185b12dc634e

i wouldn't of joined the fuel pump breather into oil fill breather(TEE)--each breather location should have there own dedicated route. you got 2 boxes! why force two into one? IMHO
