Back in 1980 I built a 2017 with midget camshaft welded D-port heads from Harold works in Puyallup Washington. I would twist that motor up to 8,200rpm and push the speedometer to the peg and still be pulling rpm! I had 20,000 miles on it when a fire ended that car! 78.4 Okrasa crankshafts rock and have the mythical perfect Rod ratio of 1.75!
I cannot believe this. With a V8 the camshaft is high in the Vee so that the pushrods are only half the length compared to a camshaft in the sump. And even with best materials and double springs a pushrod V8 only goes to 8000rpm.
....and they're is a few that twist higher than this. Very few......when Gene Berg was alive their black '67 race Beetle turned 9,500-10,500rpm heating up the slicks in 2nd gear. Seeing this in person for the first time at 17yo was all but religious experience for me. I'm 58yo now and still think about it occasionally......
Why not build a 2 liter that builds power lower in the rpm range to save parts? High revving motors don't last as long and tend to cost more from my understanding. Is it class restrictions or just to say it revs high?
My Beetle race engine is limited by class regs to a max of 1300cc. If I want more power, the only option is more revs. The result is a twin carb 1299cc flat four that runs up to 9000rpm. Mine isn't a JPM motor but i'm sure Johannes knows that by building these small, powerful and reliable 9000rpm+ motors, it provides a great advert for his JPM products.
Haha did you hear the engine run? Might as well drive a diesel if you want power at low rpm. This is why a Porshce, Ferrari, etc. sounds so great and so are so fun to drive.
Because cylinder pressure (na) will be relatively static compared to more cylinder pressurization events per minute. 400-600 extra CC’s isn’t really that much. I’ve built and daily driven a reliable 2-liter (I was 18 and delivered pizza every night) But for a weekend or race car a short stroke screamer would be more fun. (And faster)

I love the way the fellow in the rear winces as the motor goes well past the shift light! What a screamer!!!
Just imagine if they came from the factory like this.
o velho motor a ar do fusca continua desafiando o tempo old and new power vida longa ao nosso besouro
Wauw !!! Niet normaal....JPM parts are the best ! Thank you Johannes for uploading!
That has to be a built 1915cc engine to withstand 9,000rpm without parts and valve train giving out !! AMAZING!!! PROPS to the builder!

Soo much power.
That is amazing!
Now there’s a power upgrade. Looks like a fun track car.
Amazing what a difference fast sparkplugs can make
For all you wondering, this IS a VW boxer engine.
+VerticalGamingStudio i hear you can put a porshy engine in em!
what a monster!
1915cc Aircooled VW 4cyl boxer. Type 1. Check the other JPM`s videos, Or his own web sites. Btw. 240 hp`s... N/A Engine.
If a bone stock early beetle made that noise it would be absolutely the funniest sleeper on earth.
It definitely is.
Damn thats one mean v dub
My Goodnesss
OMFG!
Máquina em
Is this 1915cc engine w/48 IDF or IDA? Thanks
Let's see some spec's on the motor. I'm saying it's not a type 1 or even VW.............. Still very cool!
Now add a turbo with water/meth injection 🤯🤯🤯
ima doing that on my channel !!! cant wait !

what kinda power does this bug put down?
+Maliq Warren 240 hp at the wheels
+WhiteJawz1 That would go Nicely in my dads 65. Or my Drag Bug
