Let's see some pictures of really tidy Engine bays?

 They can be a nice 'stock as a rock' 30bhp or a Monster??

   What you got.......... Here's one to start. No idea who's it is but very nice.  ;D

Heres my temporary engine. Engine was supposed to go into my 65 bus, but I didn´t have time to finish the engine for my 62 ragtop type1 (which I just recently finish restoring), so i put in the bus engine to get the car running.

Engine is a std. 1600 singleport engine (started life as a industrial engine - fire pump), with a pair of 32mm Solex PCI, and a 1-3/8" merged exhaust.

60hp/4250rpm - 120nm/2350rpm  .....  drives perfect with my 3.88 -0.89 gearbox - the perfect cruiser combo.

next up is getting my 2liter IDA engine back together, so I can get the bus engine back in the bus where it belongs  ;D

here's mine 1200cc   ::) ::)

Thanks.

It´s 36hp.

Well here are mine:

1. 1915 cc IDA engine from my beetle

2. 36 HP engine totally restored with NOS Riechert kit, NOS Fram filter, Bosch 010 and more NOS parts then I can remember.

nice one phillip especially the second  8)

 :)

i LOVE seeing cars without firewalls
looks so clean.
especially the jade grenade.

dkk_fred, i like the black linkage!

thats my engine.i didnt build it accolades go to the ideaman on here.thanks luke i still love it!

HERES MY ENGINE  FROM MEXICO BAJA.........

(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee194/JMVVR/Imagen.jpg)

Ha ha glad I'm not the only one running an "interim" engine.  Mine is an 1835 "stocker" that is in place until the 2110 in completed.  Its a "stocker" because I have very little invested in it, so I kept it the way I acquired it.  All VW except 92mm, Kadrons, VW ratio-rockers (I think), 019 distributor, and extractor.

Altho I wouldn't really consider it to be "tidy" compared to most in this thread.

(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h311/cmhauer/miscellaneous/Beetles045.jpg)

i really start to like the 1200 engines with their period parts a lot like the nice ones off fabs, fred (love those filters) and that off Philip that looks also very clean and nicely done.

Here's mine .....

 ;)and here my ,, JUDSON ,, powered 61 ::) :P

And the 63...

Here's mine... ::) ;D

I like your pulley in picture 1 , Sarge. How's the balance on it?

Actually the top and bottom photo are the same. Sarge is playing around with his new photoshop.

the top one is a picture of mine ......  before i cleaned it !!!

(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x216/iancross182/melissacam037.jpg)

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My friend that used to work for Berg helped me get it right on the money ::) ;)

Mine,not quite finished yet  :)

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a12/GJT/67/Beetle-1.jpg)

Old Set Up.

this is what happens with too much compression

Yeah, it was "compressed" by a Chevy Dually  :( :( :'(

                                ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The 30 hp engines...

Thanks for those nice words on my 1957 lowlight engine.  It's a long project guys.  Bought the car from Bob's (BBT) private collection in 2000, the engine is allready finished since 2004.  Hope to have the car finished in a couple of years...

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/Hotrodvw/IMG_1846.jpg)

This is a picture Derek took at Sac.

(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z148/2manytoys_photo/56ragbreathersac.jpg)

  Oh Geez...... 

gaz this looks mint!!

cant wait to see it  ;D

Sarge check your mirrors before backing up next time dude.  8)

the drain comes off the top of the breather box ??

here is my 1776ccm:

Hopefully in 2009 with IDA`s and some more cc`s.The parts are already hanging around and waiting ;)

that's a very clean engine Felix!

Here is mine  8)

Same as my LanD custom breather. Drains back into the filler neck.

(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z148/2manytoys_photo/56ragbreather008.jpg)

so oil fills the breather to the filter level before it drains back ??
or am i seeing this wrong ??

No,the drain is on the right side  :)

That LanD breather looks nicely done,good quality  :)

gaz , i can only see 3 inlets on yours ??

guess i should start another topic and you can take me more pics ??

Here is our engine  :)

(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd37/StripTeaseRacing/59RHD/engine_unpacked.jpg)

Hmmm, good idea.  Normally, I just back up until I hear broken glass  ::) ;D

(http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/204943.jpg)
(http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/468309.jpg)

My old '66
78x94 made 207hp
It was a project...there never done  8)

tw

Not half as pretty as the rest on here, but it works!  ;D

(http://www.dudesbeetle.com/build/enginebig.jpg)

Dude  8)

my recently ubdated with the propper breather
sticker tuning as I called it (for covering the holes :D)

(http://www.polskajazda.pl/foto/foto-zoom/GreenTomMG_2008_2.jpg)

Hi Jim,
thank you !
I think with those IDA`s and a decent linkage it will look even smoother & cleaner ;D.
That`s even a thing I really like about those 24,5 & 30PS engine`s, they are so simple and "smooth" build. I love the overall "clean" and simple look with the cooper fuellines and the way the distributor cables are arranged.

@Basti: Hey when will that beauty fire up again?  ::)

Welcome.... that finish on the fan housing is just about perfect!

here is a better view of breather box and vent...

what i like is that when deck lid is on you can't really see it all....

I like the cloth braid hose. I run the cloth-covered HD braided (SS beneath) -8 for my oil system,

I am sure that this picture will show up super sized, just like all the other ones I try to post up. But hey, what do you expect....................

so its normal stainless braid then covered on cloth ??

i been thing about this lately ...... want to get rid of my ss hoses

Nice one, jrice...I like the color of your car, too! 8)

I don't believe it's SS wire.  Some of it's galvinized though.  It's 100R5 spec hose.  It's used for fuels, oils, and rate dfor DOT air brake service. 

AND ANOTHER ONE OF MY ENGINES. SINCE IAM SWISS I ALLWAYS WANTED A SWISS MADE ,, MAG KOMPRESSOR ,, FOR ONE OF MY OLD BUGS.  :P

...and here a pic of my ol buddys Jörg bug...back in the early 90s....cool hmmmmm?

It  Industrial Hydraulic line.... 

 

Thanks Sarge  ;)

the 4 hose's are circled in   ;) ;D

Ian, you might wanna check out: Jegs # 555-110924  (Cool Hose)

@Felix: I hope everything will be finished for Bitburg.
Will we go there together?

Here's mine ... 2276, Okrasa crank, Fumio welded heads, Carrillo rods, Berg this and that, Webcam 86C, currently 8.7:1 ... soon to be 10.3:1.

Lot of nice engine compartments on these pages!

Lookin, good, Tex!  That thing's gonna come alive with the extra bump.  Love them Fumio heads! 8) 8) 8)

Thanks, Sarge!
I'll have to update the photo ... that was about a year ago and I've cleaned it up a bit since that was taken.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll really make the noise with the extra pressure.
Thanks again, TxTm

 

       I love the Generator Pulley.  8)

 

Pretty sure that's a Berg piece.

It is.

I think someone makes wheels that will match tool ::)

What 4" BRM's.... :o

  They must be Mega Rare...... ::)

Here's a couple of "souped up" shots of Ratto's new mill... :o 8) ;) 

And the real deal... ;D

wow....  what WAS on that sugar cube, SARGE?  :o

"This is the end
My only friend
The end....."

Looks Great Jim! I don't care for the bottom picture, though. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Here's my 2276.  I do not recommend these aircleaners.   Even with the internal foam brace inside, I sucked one of the elements into the 3/4 IDA on a WOT run!  I thought I'd blown my engine!

Far from your big and beautiful engines, here is my "full 80's paint" 1200 engine  ;D

One year ago when I bough the car...

(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1156/10960128714014159913230.jpg)

Ans still in his shape now...  :)

(http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/98130/3828644805.JPG)

My 1776 I built last year, went with old set of Kadrons and had the air cleaners chromed. used a old Porsche oil filter system for the breather, spaced the top up a tad so it would vent. I think it came out nice.
Larry

Old pic of the engine in my brothers old car Radical Rod way back when.

   Here a few pictures of the engine I had in my 54 oval.

   Thanks
   Frenchy

 I like the exh. in ceramic black better than previous silver ceramic coating. still need to sheath dist lead wires.. bill

Looking good, Bill!
Coil pack in the luggage compartment (behind rear seat) or over trans?
Lack of ignition wires is really clean.
Take care out there ...

P.S. When're we gonna see the timeslips? No pressure,  ;)

My recently finished enginebay from my '72 late model

I don't know why, but I like that car!

 ;D ;D

My 2165 engine in my '66 Bug.  Car has over 460k miles, but the engine is fresh.

Super clean Donny ... still rinning your Berg DCNFs, right?  :)

Yep, that's the only dual carb setup I have ever run.  They work really well.  Not being a racer I don't need all that extra HP.  Besides I pretty much got racing out of my system back in the '70s when I raced motocross...

Yes, MotoCross in the '70's, That would get it out of ANYONE'S system! LOL
Good one Donny!
 ;) ;D

I sold mine for 48s back when, but have another pair now (and some 44s!), watch out!
Take care,
TxT

Here is some overkill for the street -- 10 pounds of poop in a 5 pound bag -- my 2919 with a couple of accessories

(http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/Fiatdude/2011-5-31.jpg)

Does it RUN yet?

Yep 300+ HP at 4500 rpm - 12 lbs boost -- The car was pulling the dyno roller so fast in fourth, the tuner thought he had the car in third  ;D :o ;D :o ;D  -- then lost an exhaust gasket and lost boost -- still tuning -- just switched over to E85, changed out the 60 LB injector for 160 lb, so starting all over again -- -- gonna pull the engine this weekend and get rid of the stock engine mounts so it won't be moving so much by next week LOL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJNaZRlCDPE

Outstanding Fiatdude!  That looks like a classic example of "The only easy day was yesterday".




PS. What kind of brakes are you using?  ;D

Thats a thing of beauty! Nice work.  :)

this is my 1776cc

tom, dual coil pack located on hat shelf, box is fiberglass formed so less interference signal chance. plugwires go throught firewall then up from underneath, four indvidual holes with grommets. no et yet, looking at clutch management system/ideas. I agree with nico, late blue 72 addie car is sweet. nice contrast of black / blue..bill

I have disc's all around

Here's my 2303cc.....

Love the details that mask and simplify the compartment ... dark Berg linkage frame & plug wire tube ... nice touches.
How does she run?
TxT

Thanks Tom, runs pretty good, has more mid and top end. It's only tempory for now, just finished my rebuild on my first 2303cc with JD heads, 42X37.5. Has a E125 on a 106 LC, also with 1.25 rockers. Will be going in soon. My 2303cc in the car now, (pictured) will be be freshened up with my new heads from Fred Simpson, 46X36. Will tweak the cam a little, 86C ;), This motor will be back in by next year. Want to have fun with the new motor, all low end. ;D Will post a pic when completed.
