Engle Cams

Engle Cams products help Volkswagen owners unlock more power, torque and drivability from their air-cooled engines with camshafts trusted by VW engine builders around the world. For more than 80 years, Engle has been producing performance camshafts and valvetrain components, earning a reputation as one of the most respected names in the air-cooled Volkswagen aftermarket.

About Engle Cams

Founded in California in 1941, Engle Cams has become synonymous with air-cooled Volkswagen performance. The company is widely regarded as one of the original pioneers of the VW tuning scene, developing camshaft profiles that have been used in everything from daily-driven Beetles to championship-winning drag cars and high-performance street engines. Today, Engle remains one of the most requested camshaft brands for air-cooled Volkswagen engines.

At Just Kampers, the Engle range includes performance camshafts, cam followers (lifters) and camshaft kits designed for classic Volkswagen engines. Popular profiles include the W100, W110 and W120 camshafts. The W100 is ideal for mild road-going engines, offering improved low-end torque and drivability, while the W110 is often considered the go-to fast-road camshaft thanks to its strong mid-range performance. For larger displacement and more heavily modified engines, the W120 delivers increased top-end power and performance potential.

Engle products are particularly popular with owners of the Volkswagen Beetle, T2 Split Screen, T2 Bay Window, Karmann Ghia and Type 3. Whether you're rebuilding a stock 1600cc engine, upgrading a 1776cc fast-road motor or planning a full performance build, Engle Cams products help tailor your engine's characteristics to suit your driving style and performance goals.

Popular Applications

Compatibility & Fitment Guidance

To ensure you order the correct Engle product, we recommend checking:

Your engine size and specification.
Vehicle model and year.
Existing camshaft and valvetrain components.
Compression ratio and carburettor setup.
Intended use: road, touring or performance.

Different Engle camshaft profiles are designed for different engine builds. Choosing the correct camshaft is essential to achieve the desired balance of power, torque and drivability.

How to Choose the Right Engle Camshaft

For smaller capacity road engines, the W100 is often a popular choice thanks to its smooth idle and improved torque characteristics. The W110 is frequently selected for fast-road builds up to around 1776cc, while the W120 is better suited to larger displacement engines and more performance-focused setups. Selecting the right camshaft should always be considered alongside carburation, cylinder heads, compression ratio and exhaust choice.
