Love seeing S**T VW parts put to work on a real build. Richard Sedoris of RIS Machine is making progress on Pete’s 1641cc, fitting the original German cooling tin alongside our S**T VW 36hp Dog House Fan Shroud (SKU 25888). Richard has worked with plenty of aftermarket 36hp shrouds that required trimming to sit correctly. His verdict on the S**T VW shroud?

“Perfect right out of the box.”

Great work, Richard. We can’t wait to see this one finished.

A year ago, Robert King Jr. was fine-tuning these 48 IDAs with 170 mains, 200 airs and F11 emulsion tubes, getting the combination dialed in for smooth, strong performance without the stumble.

We always enjoy looking back at the details that go into getting an air-cooled VW running just right.

Hood up. Sitting low. Looking good. 👌 A seriously clean VW spotted at RollHard at Bicester Motion.

Thanks to Leo Wilkinson for including us. We’re always happy to see what’s being built across the VW community around the world.

It’s alive! 🔥 After all the measuring, fitting, adjusting and assembling, Todd Getty fired up this 2500cc for the first time and successfully completed the cam and lifter break-in. Even better: no leaks.

Among the work leading up to first fire was dialing in the geometry for a set of S**T VW 1.4 ratio rockers.

There’s still more to come for this build, and we’ll definitely be following along. Nice work, Todd!

Automecanica BR took this ’98 fuel-injected VW and transformed it into a custom 2054cc street build, bringing together performance upgrades from S**T VW and others throughout the project.

From the 94 x 74 engine setup and ported heads to dual 44 HPMX carbs, upgraded transmission, rear disc brakes and plenty more, there’s a lot packed into this one.

Thanks for including S**T VW in the build, Automecanica BR!

From bare long block to a finished 1641cc. 🔧 We love seeing the details come together on a build like this. Nancy’s 1641cc is finished, broken in, dialed in and ready for its new home, with a S**T VW billet aluminum crank pulley among the finishing touches.

A lot of careful work between that first photo and the first fire-up.

This slammed Käfer stopped us in our tracks. Clean, classic and sitting just right. We never get tired of seeing how the air-cooled VW community puts its own spin on an icon.

RennProjekt is buttoning up the longblock for this Double Cab, and it's looking fantastic. Featuring S**T rocker arms, this 2110cc build is one step closer to firing up and hitting the road. We can't wait to see the finished engine in action!

Measure twice. Build once. 🔧📏 Todd Getty is verifying valve lift with S**T VW 1.4 ratio rocker arms before final assembly, making sure every measurement is exactly where it needs to be.

It's this kind of precision and attention to detail that helps build confidence before heading to Bonneville. Best of luck with the final assembly. We can't wait to see this engine in action! 👏
