I have a 1968 cc Norris 366 cam - pertronics elect. Ign - dual Kaddies on CB 044 heads. Runs really good !!!! Right after i built it - she had dual Weber 34's - ran really nice & smooth with those. Then i ran across the Kaddies.
Hey Mike ! I told this story before but it goes along with todays subject ? J.C. Whitney had a hop up kit that had a reground cam with lifters , blue retainers and keepers . With it it gave a recipe that you fly cutted about 3/16 off the head and on the cam the back side was even with the core so with the fly cut it used stock length push rods . Then to top it all off a Power Pulley ? And With This Recipe = Over Heat Your Engine oh yeah , some 87mm P/C
Hey Mike. Good information. Not a lot of RUclips about the vw cam choices. I am about to finish up my 1800 (74 x 88) with the web 86 with125s and 8 to 8.1 compression. Panchito 40x35.5 heads and 1.5 exhaust. No carbs. Stock LJet FI. Have some tricks up my sleeve to keep a smooth idle. We will see. In a pinch, can always go back to the 1.1s.
if you can and it works out go a little more compression.....you will thank me later. It will like that. maybe 8.75 with those heads. Tighter deck? (dont go under 45. or step cut and even tighter. you can step cut those and go to zero if it wont hit. put the barrel on the head.
Long time viewer, first comment. Love your videos and knowledge. I have a really solid great running stock 1500 SP. I had dual 34 singles and with ported heads and 1.25 rockers. (Didn’t want to split the case yet). I think I’ll split the case this winter and go with a w100-10 unless you have e a better recommendation. … also thinking a 74 crank would make sense if I’m splitting the case.
I have a 1968cc, W110 camshaft, stock rockers, 9:1 compression, flamethrower ignition, and a single 44idf with 36mm venturi, 55 pump jet, 55 idle jets, F8 emulation, 160 main, and 185 air corrector. Running a 437 trans with 235 75 R15 back tires. She pulls, screams, and gets 24 mpg.
@Mikefngarage I'm going to build a 92 x78 next. And I really like the van video you have with the 120 camshaft. I think I'd like to go with that w120 for my square back
@@OwhyeeVdub yea I checked the timing mark on the pulley on that engine it was around 5 degrees retarded. Start checking the pulleys like I did on the 1800 build. Once I tuned that engine the 2007 OMG it really rips was about a 125 cam But I would go a little smaller. will work better 120 should be perfect. 8.5 or 8.75 would even be fine on compression Make sure to get the performance heads with the 60cc combustion chambers. that is key on an engine that large. you will need more combustion chamber to keep the deck hight from getting out of control.
I've had a crower 3 in my 1915 for a while, first with a 38Egas which was probably jetted too high because it would foul plugs. And I just recently rebuilt that motor (for no good reason, the flywheel started coming lose and I thought it was knocking, didn't even hurt the flywheel or the crank dowls) but it gave me an opportunity to put a counterweighted crank, chromoly pushrods and 1.25 ratios on it. I topped it this time with a single Weber 44. Sounds amazing, runs awesome, great drivability even trail riding.
Pretty cool video dude. How can I tell what size rockers I have on my Vdub? I have an HO case which according to the samba means I have a 1967 type 1 1500cc engine but I think i put 87mm pistons. (It’s been a long time, I forget) so technically I have a 1641 engine now. I also put CB 044 heads and dual 34 carbs so I think my engine would benefit greatly from a bigger can and some ratio rockers. I bought some rockers but can’t remember the size. Is there a marking to tell me or can I measure them? I wanna upgrade without having to buy a new case. I just got a used single relief case so I don’t wanna go to radical due to oil limitations. Can I upgrade the oil pump on the single relief case?
im new to volkswagensi didnt understand a thing all i want is to be able to drive across Canada a few times into the States and into the mountains cars are ment to drive and not just to the store none of my cars have engines so ill need to build them or beef up a 1200
for that start with a dual relief case.....Then go to easy 74 stroke counterweighted build. All depends on what case you have. If you need all new stuff....Aluminum bubble top and go 78 stroke with new large chamber heads. All depends on how much money you want to spend.
What a great vid. Not so many vids giving info about the cam. My bug is a 1600 with two weber 34 ICTs. Do you think an Engle w 100 is a good improvement? Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Mike, I have watched a lot of your videos, and I am not going to lie, your cam suggestions are very “non-stroker” type suggestions. I agree, don’t run a W120 in a stock 1600. But a 120 doesn’t require a $2,000 crankshaft to be effective either. Stroke compensates for the lack of “down-low” on a cam.
I have a 2110 in my 63 Baja. Currently running a Engle 110 with dual 40 carbs and slightly bigger valve heads. I've been wanting to try 1.25 rockers, would the single hd springs be ok or would i need dual springs? I also have a set of 44 Webers i could use. Elevation here is 5700 ft, I'm curious how that effects what direction I'd want to go before I start changing things? I don't know any numbers but the transaxle isn't stock. It was in the car when I bought it and 3rd and 4th gears are quite a bit lower compared to stock. I put taller rear tires which did help a little but anything over 65 mph is revving pretty high. I have a stock transaxle i might try out, fun car to cruise around in but not so great on the highway.
125s are a bit much for the 110 definately would need dual springs. I am not sure if it will take that either. Never done that. 40s would be more appropriate for the 2110. 44s on a bit larger engine. will need to jet for the altitude but I dont know what jets. just need to install and trial and error.
@Mikefngarage thanks for the response, I've changed to smaller idle jets from what the carbs came with stock. I think they were 55, maybe 50? I have 45 or 47.5 ,runs good until I start getting around 1500- 2000 rpm. I noticed at full throttle I'm getting a little black smoke from the exhaust. Nothing crazy but noticeable. If the mains are slightly too big would larger air correction jets lean them slightly? I'd have to look but I believe the mains are 135 and the air jets are 200 with f 11 tubes. It's not like it's running crappy, mainly it's just fun trying to get it right. The vent tubes are 28, would slightly larger ones also possibly lean out the main jets a little? More air going through the vents and a bit less vacuum pulling in fuel? Maybe with all these questions I should get a weber manual?
@@goldentrunnell7450 not really versed on dual carb jetting But air cooled.net has some base jetting stuff for certain engine sizes. if I recall correctly 130s are about the right size main jets. all the others I dont know.
@Mikefngarage do you know if they're still in business? I'm from Utah and bought from them in the past, just curious. Seems like the last few times I went to their site I wasn't able to order anything.

IMO perfect combo. than w110 is really made for the slightly bigger engine like that.
