Hot 2276 VW engine first start up 214HP

Dyno session here is the link
• 2276cc Aircooled Stree...
This is a video of a complete first start engine procedure new engine, 0 miles all new and ready to race
 This is a very nice engine for street strip application. This engine is methodically thawed out to run on the streets with 91 octane fuel. Stay cool and go the distance. Everything we build here is built as if it was going to be put up in my own car and race against the best. They should be a competitive Engine for entry-level real Street and I competitive, I mean it will run in the high 7s.
The engine is ready now to go to the Dino. Thanks for everybody that watches my channel all over the world reviews lately have been very low. I’m not sure why is that but hopefully this will get you guys back on deck. #california #cars #car #vintage #performance #aircooled

Love the straight cut gear whine! That exhaust system I could look at all day, work of art.

[@volkstroke]

Thanks

[@markpenner7771]

I have the same exhaust but it looks so much better on his with a brand new motor build

Never seen straight cut gears on the camshaftdrive... 😮

@@ebbeweber1310 Common mod for aircooled VWs. Reduces side-thrust on the cam bearing and less friction. But the blower-like sound is the best reason to do it!

@@volkstroke Awsome dude!

[@fredmertz1791]

You should be making more HP than that. 10.5 compression . 1:6 rockers by empi, Heads were brutally polished and ported. Weber 48 IDA's with f7 emulsion tubes on the tall match ported manifolds.. infact, we welded thez back side gap to allow for more porting. Added 1 oz per gallon of Xylene, 2oz per gallon lacalene to racing gasoline. Final octane rating was un obtainable as it dissolved the container before the officials could analyze it. We guess it was around 130 Ronz number. Baylands raceway, Fremont, ca. We got 235 HP from a 2180

[@volkstroke]

The heads aren’t that big it’s on 1.4 And only .550 at the valve advanced and peak HP is not that high in RPM so I actually think it’s perfect for what it is. And idk about all that funny business with the fuel I just build to run on 91

[@bearvw1966]

Yeah pump gas

I love these engine build videos. Roughly what does a complete engine like this go for minus exhaust? What transmission mods need to be done if any for a street car to be somewhat reliable? Thanks

[@volkstroke]

These engines start at 12k for parts

[@volkstroke]

Transmisión needs to be decent if you wanna get on it minimum a nice diff and axles and mid mount and traction bar to make sure it don’t hop the tire

Sorry

[@frielocity6286]

How do you set up your initial timing? Looks like you move the dizzy quite a bit to get it to fire off at first. What about jetting out the gate? what are looking for with head temps at with cam break in,..guessing about 2500rpm. Sounds very nice, crisp and snappy, love the way the motor calms down,..like taming a wild horse.
