- Dyno services were provided by Jack Sacchette at Jaycee, and the test results were published in HotVWs Magazine. Emcee'd by Dyno Don Chamberlin, this blast from the past was shot in 2006. Part 1 covers the first three engines that were tested. No turbos, no nitrous, these are all-motor aircooled pushrod Volkswagen engines on the dyno. These engines are built to run on the street, not the track.
Clyde Berg 172 HP @ 162 TQ
CB/Pat Downs 224 HP @ 189 TQ
James2 201 HP @ 183 TQ

I remember That Day , Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, very cool video.
My 2180cc got 170@6k rpm cam is xr310 now that's not secret!
Dan dan the tv repair man!!!!
I enjoyed the video it did seam to be a fun gettogether ? I guess the community is smaller than i thought because it does appear everyone knew each other
The SoCal guys all know each other from races and car shows, and the out of town guys are known from internet forums, Facebook, etc.
Lol, Dyno Don his voice is all over :-) love the man !
What do I need to build the 224hp motor? I'm just starting a build and have no idea what to do for a powerplant. I thought a Subaru swap might be the cheap way to go but I'm not sure.
He says it in the beginning i just can't tell for sure? Thanks
I miss my Bug!
Wow...awesome engine....
Is that a lot of power I'm not familiar with the bug motors
Well, they're 40hp from the factory so...
Hello just1 question..which sealant do u guys use to seal the engine??
Aviation gasket
Three bond
172hp and a secret cam sound so stupid...
Miguel Gonzalez the camshaft is the brain of the engine. As for racing, the cam is always a secret. Grew up racing, family of engine builders, I can’t have friends without a secret custom camshaft grind. It’s real.
what was Berg compression ratio??? 7.2?
good question... unfortunately i can't remember the exact number, if clyde didn't mention it in the video you'll have to call him up and get the straight scoop.
Yes, he actually built a street motor.
secret cam??? LOL
Secret cam? Lol!
merla118 it’s the brain of the engine. In racing it’s always a secret. Its real, you’re just naive.
He says it in the beginning i just can't tell for sure? Thanks
it looks like i asked him in the video: "what have you got here clyde, seven to one compression" and he said yes... he must have told me ahead of time, so i was able to toss it out like that, to get him going... knowing clyde, i think that if it wasn't 7.0:1, he would have corrected me there.
