My aircooled VW engine dyno tuning (budget build)

[@AirSpooledGarage]

I had a 1641 with a VZ15 cam, 10 to 1 and 40 dells, made around 120hp and went 14.79 at the track.

[@bwm999]

Thanks for sharing the details. It’s helpful to compare with similar small builds. My 1641 has stock crank / cam with 1.4:1 forged rockers (0.413 lift) & self ported heads (30/45/60 seats) .That peaks at 4k rpm but gets 83bhp. That’s with 32mm Honda CBR throttle bodies & injectors on nylon manifolds (3D printed) and $100 “speeduino” ECU.

[@volkstroke]

Yeah it’s something similar I have done similar builds on 1967cc engines and I wanted more cam and a bit of port work I nailed 116 on a similar combo with no head worn 74 x92

[@ahernandez9860]

Well Done!!

[@TheDasbull]

Great video and your work/shows what a small cc engine can achieve! Thank You for dyno pulls!👍

[@volkstroke]

You bet! Thanks for your visit

[@richardwhite8065]

That’s awesome you were right 121 without the belt , that glass pack is definitely old school. I had one on my 67 bug back in the day. It was either Thunderbird or s&s

[@volkstroke]

Broomhilda had one back in the day when I had a1641 on dual kadrons like 2013

[@ocavant]

Stinger or go home 🤣🤣

[@volkstroke]

@@ocavant 😅😂🥲🥲🥲

[@smokepeddler]

Nice little ripper!

[@vayabroder729]

Awesome little combo. That single glasspack reminds me of the one my dad installed in his ‘69 Ghia back in the ‘70’s (which ended up being my first car). Can’t recall if it was an S&S brand.

[@volkstroke]

Hell yeah they are unique sounding for sure

[@stanfordkoch1271]

That was my first street engine in the 80s, counterweight crank, engle w120 and 40 dells. Dont know the hp but i bet double from the stock 50hp

[@ArthurSperotto]

Hell yeah bro, I've been waiting for this!! Is that the Best Linkage from Vintage Speed?

[@volkstroke]

Yes it is! the best of the best

[@williamerentfro9543]

Damn awesome!! Don't forget to run a stinger😁

[@volkstroke]

🦂

[@LOWBIMMER323i]

Niiiice! 👏🤙

[@charlesloar3210]

What carbs are those? Great video and build.

[@volkstroke]

40mm DCNF

[@volkstroke]

Weber

[@spatulaman2753]

Are those 32 DCNF carbs?

[@volkstroke]

40mm on 32 mm Venturi

[@ocavant]

Why no O2 and a logger? Much more accurate than looking at plugs 🤷‍♂️ Are you doing spot head temp readings?

[@volkstroke]

The dyno that has that is far away and cost more besides we can read plugs good been racing for years and no head temp readings all I ever monitor is oil pressure and sometimes oil temp we would check head temps when we were putting these combos in busses years back and dove them 8 hours on the freeway so now days we know what we need to do.

[@JamesStamm-y6e]

@@volkstrokeoil temp is probably more important than head temps! I always used oil temp sensors👍🏻great build i did a1641 with a single weber 32 back in the day! Drove it cross country twice cruise 80mgh average 👍🏻

[@67VWForever]

I did guss 97Hp . But why are we still running points with all the technology now a days.

[@volkstroke]

I hate pertronics and those ignitions in rather have points that cost 5$ and if you know how to set them you can forget it

[@James-js6dx]

How much would that motor cost to build?

[@volkstroke]

Reground and machine work is between 5-700$ cam lifters 250$ pushrods 100$ Heads 600$ pistons and cylinder 300$ Rods rebuilt 100$ sump 180$ Pump and filter / cover about 160$ Rockers 180$ shims and gaskets pushrod tubes 160$ carbs and manifolds 1k Linkage 250$ air filters 140$ header and mufflers 250$ glass-pac 150$ clutch kit 140$ tin and alternator kit 600$ welded fan 90$ fuel pump 60$ kit to rebuild plus doing it the distributor around 100$ wires lines dipstick oil time to build it and dyno depends on what you pay yourself but it can be thousands dollars to build and engine just in labor to

[@jasonmaddox1967]

What does Chico charge for a dyno session,typically? That motor is gonna be fun on the streets, sounds killer-

[@volkstroke]

Around 250$

[@benkrom2737]

Basically Stock😂, went from 1200cc to 1641cc and dual carbs and headers. Cases don't need modification and compared to the engines you build, Yeah, it's stock 😂, just 3X the regular HP. With 4.30 rear it makes for a nice daily driver 👍🏻

[@volkstroke]

I got a 4.12 R&P it will be cool oh and has a short 3rd and stock 4th

[@volkstroke]

This was already a 1600 🤓

[@benkrom2737]

@@volkstroke So it was already a 12volt transaxle and dual port engine. 4.12 rear does great with the 1600 dual port engine. 1st time I rebuilt a 1300cc and turned it into a 1641cc and 12 volt with 4.12 rear I got better gas mileage than the stock engine. Drove it to work for years going 100miles a day. Had an actual filter and separate oil cooler. Was bulletproof, cruised at 70-75 without any effort. I went through 3 fuel pumps and well over 100k when I sold it. Pretty oil tight too. I used gasket sealer on cases with dental floss down the center. Was tight as a drum.

[@volkstroke]

@@benkrom2737 yeah it was already 12v 412 and dual port 1600 i didn’t use the same heads tho the channel has. A playlist for the build of this Ghia 8 episodes

[@volkstroke]

@@benkrom2737 this engine has a filter and did no want to plumb external lines at all

[@HedigardiCardoso]

Ok

[@stuck1000]

Haha. Sexy 41! Nice job.

[@HedigardiCardoso]

Ok Boa tarde Amigo tudo Bem Aqui tudo Bem Qual o País que você Fala e a Cidade

[@michaelboisselle8590]

Awesome, unbelievable how far we've come with technology, much love to Annabel, he built my 2110 and I absolutely love it, 148hp. Moves my 65 ghia very well
