1914cc vw engine making big motor power

[@ogbanger9107]

It sounded happier with that jet change. Very nice job David! As always, you do not disappoint 😁

[@volkstroke]

Glad you enjoyed it and yes it did sounded way better

[@TheDasbull]

Those heads are nicely done to make 150 with the belt 👍 Great work and thanks for the video!

[@volkstroke]

No problem 👍 thank you

[@vayabroder729]

You guys do great work; I am very impressed by your knowledge.

Nice work man very respectable numbers!

[@volkstroke]

Thanks for the visit and I think so and I guarantee you these aren’t those bs numbers you see on facebook

[@V8N8T]

@volkstroke ya know i don't know you in person but from what I can tell about you from your videos is you don't have any reason to sugar coat anything and you seem pretty honest. There's many ways to make hp and the heads really tell a story. Keep up the good work!

[@volkstroke]

@ thank you we just like what we do and keeping it real because the track humbles us

[@aishayana4298]

As21 alloy fuel injected case. Much better alloy that VW came up with to handle the higher temperatures of fuel injection engines 😊

[@richardwhite8065]

Great that’s a nice engine .👍🏻

[@volkstroke]

Thanks 👍 Armando is going to love it

[@dtengineering1]

Love the detail. Where did you get the lockable dipstick from? Cheers

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

I see you machine the cylinders, what benefit do you get with that? Seems closer to the heads.

[@dougwilliams4318]

Good reference of hp loss from the fan and alt.

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir

[@ahernandez9860]

Should we go to 7? Up to you, lets do it😂 fricken awesome

[@volkstroke]

Hell yeah just do it

[@Certifiedtray310]

Man I need you to build me a motor for my 62 bug you do good work

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

when you get the 36hp style fan shrouds do you prefer any company specifically for getting those? Thanks always dig the vids.

Hi, I got also a mild 1914cc. on strange kind of heads - 40x37.5 043 castings. A Scat Mini -D probably or something similar. The rest of the motor is pretty normal - Scat C35 cam on 1:1.1 rockers and HD springs plus chineese, but good 44IDF clones and a 1 5/8 merged header. C/R around 9:1. Rest of the combo is the shortest stock 1302 transmision (4.375) and 26 inch rear wheel (165SR15 F560) I want to build a 2276 in the future, but I wonder what can I do to this particular engine during the winter season without breaking a bank. I've read (on the Lounge probly) that a C35 is a symmetrical cam and does not work well with those valve proportions. Sooo... What do you think can I do in your opinion to this setup to take the most out of it - keeping in mind that 40mm intake valves and those 44IDF will have to stay for now - coz investing in this engine big bucks doesn't make sense as there is a completely new one in plans. Does swapping the intake rockers for 1.25 or even 1.3 plus on the intake valves only plus Double springs - and bumping the compression just a notch are going to make a difference? What do you think? The last resort would be swapping a cam, but I don't know what I would find inside after opening the case :)

[@volkstroke]

These heads are massive ports and runners they have made 240 on bigger cracks Cam rockers and compression is the key along with big flow

[@JohnnyRebLifestyle]

@@volkstroke Thanks! So if I take em out for boring out for comp and bigger springs seats and they happen to be cracked between valve seats - it makes sense to repair them? Coz I already got em, and bringing a really good set of heads here to Poland means really big bucks...

[@mirancm]

Question;;;; any issues with that muffler so close to the head as far as hotter than without it in that position.?

[@volkstroke]

No no issues if anything makes it more challenging to adjust valves

How much will it cost me to build an engine like this from you I have 1200cc engine and i want to make some power

[@volkstroke]

1200 is not a good engine to start with

[@robertomoreno1215]

So what cam did you use ?

[@volkstroke]

I mentioned fk8 like 8 times lol

cool

[@socaljarhead7670]

In my day, the 1914 had a notorious and unsavory reputation among built Volkswagen engines. 1835 or 2110/2180 was all pretty much anybody did.

[@socaljarhead7670]

It’s just a bored out 1776. Not good with a stock crank.

[@PierreDuToit-to7mb]

1835cc bored out 90.5mm barrels to 92mm were bad news. Thin barrels.

[@socaljarhead7670]

The rule with 1914s is don’t run them too hard for TOO long because they will get hot. Thin cylinder walls. 1904 was always better with the bigger crank.

[@volkstroke]

They are the same thickness as a 90.5

[@KaptainKlunk1]

thats banging for a 1914,,,,😉

[@socaljarhead7670]

1914s are the WORST size engines for a VW.

[@mech5]

​@@socaljarhead7670My 73 did a 12.8 with a 1914. Reliable experience for me.

[@jorgelynch1371]

@@socaljarhead7670 i dont know man, at this point, David (Volkstroke) is proving otherwise.

[@socaljarhead7670]

There’s a reason people prefer the 1904…

[@TheDasbull]

I love 1914cc. The cylinders today are thicker than the earlier ones. 94 and 92 cylinders are much thicker than they used to be. For a street bug with a German doghouse shroud and moderate compression ratio the 1915 is a good option. If you run above 8.5 to 1 compression in hot weather, may require additional oil cooler 🙂
