  • Dave on the dyno. Wheelspin and a small clutch issue prevented a full power run, but he still managed 212HP at the wheels

    @freeclimb64 Bro... I ain't gonna argue with you... Look up K C Dawn Patrol dot org and see that they are still using VW engines, with great success. Volksplane used them too, thus "Volks" Rotax are just too expensive, otherwise, there are many who would be using them... I'm IN aviation bro. I know.... The boys that build the planes I refer to use 2200CC type 1 engines... look for yourself.... before you go calling me wrong....

    1. Subaru makes flat fours too bub.
    2. So what, those tins were NOT made by Volkswagen, they are ALL aftermarket. That makes the fact that they LOOK like Porsche engines totally irrelevant, because they are STILL not.
    3. Tell you what- post a vid of one that isn't totally hacked to shit. I have seen beautifully done 1302/1303 Supers with huge ass type fours in them, never have I seen the flat 6 in one.
    Also, Porsche DID make a DOHC flat four. VERY limited number for the 356

  • @Landotter1
    @Landotter1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @csimvwtnt The title says it is a type 1 engine. I thought type 1 engines stopped at 2300CC and Porsche engines were type 4 but I don't know what their displacement range is.. 2715CC for a type 1 engine seems like an awful lot of displacement, but I'm not a VW expert either. I just haven't seen such a large type 1. Love to have one. I'd put it into a plane. Hell, I could hang on the prop with that engine!!! woo-hoo!!!

  • @AYEcorolla
    @AYEcorolla 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    4. ACVW Type ONE engines (Beetle) have pushed more then 700hp through them. I have YET to see an AC Porsche engine do that.
    5. You can make that thing street legal, but making it STREETABLE is a different story. Something like this bug is a handful to drive.
    6. This VW runs probably mid to low 11s. A VW that runs those speeds is about as hard to drive as a 9 second V8.
    7. About everything I said: Don't try to prove me wrong on this. I know my shit. I know when someone doesn't.

  • @AYEcorolla
    @AYEcorolla 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    To clear up some stupid shit:
    1. Some 356s did use an engine similar to the type 1, some didn't. They had DOHC 356s, this car here is OHV.
    2. There is no such thing technically as a Porsche AC 4 banger, those were VW engines taken from the 411/412 series. They were put into the 912 and 914, but they are STILL VW engines.
    3. I always hear people saying OHH its got a porsche engine. NO. I have NEVER seen a Porsche engine in a beetle. (IAW statement 2, they would be a 6 banger)

    @AYEcorolla
    0.) read - think - post only if wise & necessary
    1.) we´re talking about VW flatfour - don´t mix
    2.) they´re commonly named Porsche-Engins, because of their look - nothing else
    3.) search yourself with 911 Käfer or 911 beetle - you´ll see ;-)
    The rear has to be streched - ruins the shape of the classic silhoutte
    4.) If ever - Some experimental DOHC do not matter. There was no production line ever

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AYEcorolla
    Sorry to clear yout (stupid) comment.
    1.No flatfour was ever build with DOHC.
    All flatfours have only ONE camshaft placed directly below crankschaft,
    right in the middle of the crankcase.
    The valves are opened via (really long) push rods
    2. they look like AC-"Porsche-Engins" because they´re fitted with 911 generator, 911 Cooling-Fan and customizes doghouse. OK?
    3.There are several flat-six on the roads - even her in germany,
    where it´s pretty difficult to get them street-legal.

  • @varthdata
    @varthdata 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cheers thats what I thought mate, I have seen electric fan setups that replace the belt driven fan and shroud. Neat little ones that just to feed the barrels cool air, not sure about the oil cooler, probably running a large square cooler with a thermo fan at that level of performance ...either way, not ideal for a daily driven beast :)

  • @aircooledvw62
    @aircooledvw62 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @insane320 No. That's because of people installing fuel filters in the wrong area, or not replacing bad fuel lines. As most people who own an old VW work on them themselves. They get everything running good and neglect maintainence.Also they are pretty easy to Jerry rig to get home and it leads to shauty work.

  • @dangerousVW
    @dangerousVW 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    The engine is 2715cc and based on an aftermarket type 1 block. The head studs were moved out o fit 102.36mm pistons, and it uses a 82.5mm chank that i made from a chunk of 4340 bar. It has a roller cam shaft, and Pauter heads with mechanical injection on methanol(13:1 compression) The car weighs 810kg and has run as quick as 10.93@122mph

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Bigbully0110
    Pretty easy: Buy some Bug parts and complete an engine.
    Around 2k$ you´ll get 100Hp
    Around 3k§ you´ll get 120HP
    and so on.
    It´s pretty easy & affordable to power up a Bug flat-four.
    I got me one at highschool, changed to 1835ccm, added 269° camshaft, 44 cylinderheads and got around 95HP.
    Lot of music for a 800kg Beetle.

  • @varthdata
    @varthdata 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    People bag out VW for getting low power figures, completely forgetting early V8s around the same age like Flatheads made 75-125hp with more than 3x the capacity. A standard beetle making 40-70hp isnt bad for the day in a non-sports model, and neither is 212hp now!

  • @csg8501
    @csg8501 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    4.) Not completely true. Fuhrmann's Typ 547 a.k.a the "drawer engine" has been in production at Porsche (although, admittedly, in small series) from around 1954, ending up in officially sold street legal 550/550A Spyders, 356 GS Carreras and so on, other than race cars.

  • @rome9991
    @rome9991 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    well actualy he did.. , he wanted a cheap car for the people. (volk) car..(wagen) and together with Ferdinand porsche he created the volkswagen, .. at first the car was called KdF-Wagen but because of its looks (the roundings) people gave it the name beetle.. like the insect..

  • @guitarplayer0007
    @guitarplayer0007 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @freeclimb64 yeah u are right but it as long as i was aircooled (993 was the last model to have that engine) it was actually the engine from the 60ies. although it's still almost the same engine.
    i was just talking about the early aircooled models (as said till 993)

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Landotter1
    Sorry you´re wrong:
    Type-One engines stopped at 1584cm³. That´s the 1,6l flat-four.
    Type-Four are no Porsche Engines, but have been fitted in the 912.
    (looks like an ´70th aircooled 911)
    From that view, this 912 is more likely a flat beetle, than a Porsche.

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AYEcorolla
    Wrong:
    There are no flatfour Type-ONE capable to deliver 700HP.
    Maybe nitro-fueled - for some sconds.
    On this technical help, every other simple engin would be able to deliver easily 100-200% more power.
    Don´t be so stupid, to compare uncomparable technical concepts.

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Landotter1
    type 1 can go up 3.000 ccm - i would not recommend that.
    Type 4 came up from late 411, 912 Porsche & Busses.
    The difference is in design of cylinderheads & cams & crank bearing.
    For Inflight use: Better use a properly build up 914 UL - 4 Cyl. Turbo 115 hp Rotax Engin.

  • @slammedandshiny
    @slammedandshiny 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes! finally a car guy on youtube who gets it! i always get some clown telling me that new cars are faster and more efficient and better for the environment. maybe so but its a machine not a video game. i dont wanna fix it on a screen.

  • @varthdata
    @varthdata 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Exactly. I just got rid of my Audi A8 Quattro for this reason. It made 400hp, all wheel drive, did over 300km/h etc etc...but I couldnt do a damn thing to it. Something goes wrong...plug in my laptop....hated that crap. Bring on a 45hp Beetle please.

  • @darryleshelly
    @darryleshelly 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice VW man ! I used to run a similar setup back in the day , so much like a type 4 , scat supercase , superflo or dinasaur heads , it sounds healthy .looks like Hilborn injection on alcohol , nice ... Funny the guys standing on it to keep it down .

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Landotter1
    Don´t compare uncomparable.
    We´re talking about car engines fitted in normal VWs.
    There are a lot generator / pumpengines fitted with the ac VW flatfours also - uncountable.
    Type One for cars stopped with 1584cm³ - trust me.

  • @slammedandshiny
    @slammedandshiny 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    definitely not ideal for a daily. id run an 8 pass cooler and the stock upright cooler with the stock fan. i swear by using all of the original tins on a street motor. just has to be there to keep it cool.

  • @Urmom882
    @Urmom882 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I live in So cal, and it sucks I don't get to see very many of these anymore, way to keep them running. Hopefully one day i'll come up with extra money to restore a old school VW and build an engine such as that.

  • @Landotter1
    @Landotter1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @freeclimb64 Welp.... You can contact the KC Dawn Patrol and ask them if they are using type one engines or not... Well, they are. But, you should go see for yourself and then,,, I'll have my apology but ANYWAY.......

  • @Landotter1
    @Landotter1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @freeclimb64 Rotax are good engines but have 2 huge problems. 1. low TBO and 2. High priced. Many people have been using, with great success, VW engines for 40+ years. Thanks for your post!!! :-D

  • @insane320
    @insane320 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @hunterziegelmann happened to a friend of mine way back but honestly i'm not an expert on vw's took his word on it they had solid engines could run them into the ground and keep going

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @420witchdoctor
    You´re wrong - no 911 was ever build with less than 6 cylinders.
    The 912 (build for a short, unsuccesful time) was fitted with a 4-cylinder.
    Get schooled yourself ;-)

  • @slammedandshiny
    @slammedandshiny 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    alot of drag bugs dont use a fan. they do their pass and shut it off and get towed back to pit lane afterwards. alot of them dont run an alternator or generator either.

  • @505197
    @505197 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    ONe evil sounding bug, takes me back to the days I worked for Dean Lowery. I finally got over bugs when I sold my 69 Ghia, the engines sure are gettin large.

  • @wilcothefox

    I like beetles with normal, original engines. But I can't help smiling when I see a beetle like the one in the film doing the quarter mile faster than a Ferrari.

  • @varthdata
    @varthdata 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds good. Yeah only takes one missing or mis-aligned piece of tin to make a difference. Best left how it was designed :) ...maybe with a few mods.

  • @madjimms
    @madjimms 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    That whole setup for just 212hp? >_> I have nothing against the Beetle, but wouldn't a TDI produce higher power while getting more MPG with less effort?

  • @varthdata
    @varthdata 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I often see "drag" beetle setups with no noticeable fan shroud...how are these things being cooled? Just passively off moving air and short run times?

  • @freeclimb64
    @freeclimb64 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AYEcorolla

    102.36mm is a 4.03" chevy piston. I made the cylinders from cast iron hollow bar. These piston were actually made by Ross Pistons for a supercharged 350, but I cut notches into them for valve clearance, and use them normally aspirated. They are a little heavy, but seal well up to my 8400 rpm limiter.

  • @SedatedandRestrained
    @SedatedandRestrained 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    There was a production line of Porsche 4 cylinder DOHC engines. One of which was the 1.5L DOHC type 547 fitted to the Le Mans coupes and then the 718 or RS60. Another was the 2.0L DOHC 356 Carrera engine.
    Also..... it is a drag racing engine, it has had the fan shroud and all of the cooling tin removed, unnecessary weight on a drag car.
