Build Project 1: Harley-Davidson M8 107 to 124 Part 3: Finish the Engine and Dyno Tune
Hello! In this third of three videos I take a 107 cubic inch Harley-Davidson M-8 engine in a 2018 Road Glide and install an S&S 124 cubic inch big bore pistons and cylinders as well as a big 64mm throttle body and 6.1g/s injectors. The bike already had a S&S 475 cam and D&D 2 into 1 exhaust. This video will show step by step the completion of the top end of the engine left over from video 2 and results from the DYNO!

Racing Physics: Class #5. Your Cylinder Head Flow Tells Your Potential Horsepower! Cool Engine Math!
Переглядів 2,3 тис.Місяць тому
Hello Class! In this episode I talk about the Flow Bench and how it is used as well as some fun formulas for figuring your ultimate horsepower POTENTIAL based solely on the CFM of your cylinder heads and the RPM at which that power will occur based on displacement.

    • @rageracing6435

      This was my first time using the #38. The customer had it sitting around and wanted to use it on this bike. I was impressed with the results. Usually for mild combinations with stock valve springs I like to use the #27.

    • @rageracing6435
      @rageracing6435 3 години тому

      I used the stock springs. The S&S 475 cam does well with the stock springs and that's what the customer wanted to stick with. I was actually really happy with how it ran with that cam. Not just on the dyno but real world driving on the street too. The 124" big bore kit was just the pistons, pins, rings, head gaskets, and cylinders. The S&S part number is 910-0625. The customer also brought in a screaming eagle Harley 64mm throttle body and I provided the Fueling 6.1 g/s injectors. That was it. What i did leave out of the video is I upgraded the stock clutch with heavy duty springs. They provide 15% more force to the pressure plate. Other than that the clutch was completely stock and took the power and torque just fine although I didn't attempt any drag strip launches.

    Awesome build but why use such mild cam (S&S 475) for a 124 cubic inch big bore kit ... I would have used a 550 or 530 lift cam for that investment ... nonetheless great job!

    • @rageracing6435
      @rageracing6435 23 години тому

      Thank you for the question! So, you might have missed the first video in this series. The customer already had the S&S 475 cam and D&D exhaust on his stock 107. He wanted to keep those parts if possible. He is a touring guy and added the 124 kit for the torque to pass trucks on the highway without downshifting. He is not a racer or hot rodder in any way. I was interested in the results of the smaller cam myself as I like to experiment. A lot of the times going bigger on the cam can lose low end torque to get gains higher up in the rpm range. Too big of cam and reliability goes away. As it is the S&S 475 is about the biggest you can go with the stock valve springs. As you can see from the dyno results this engine ran very well even with the "smaller" cam and, surprisingly, pulled hard all the way to redline with no drop in power. I was impressed.

    Hi, Thanks for the information. I enjoy your videos a I just discovered your channel. About this video, you don't seem to include drive wheel diameter in your calculations for final drive ratios the engine actually sees. While the calculations tells the story of what reaches the wheel, the power is transmitted thru the tires when moving affects the final drive ratio. The taller the tire, the less gear multiplication you will have and vice versa. Can you follow up on the affects of your diameter of drive wheels in your calculations. Thanks

Also, how a tire on a drag car grows changing the gear ratio seen by the engine as speed increases. I try to limit the length of my videos so many things have to be cut and put into a future video. Thank you for watching.

  • @4739-g9c

    Explained it great again. "How to increase horsepower?" You: "increase the engine size" and "head air flow" But if you have a head that is capable of 300hp with a 302. Increase the cubes to 400 you might still end up with only 300hp but....... the torque will be much greater at lower rpms. Meaning greater averages. Greater averages makes better performance. So dont look at peaks. Look at averages

  • @4739-g9c

  • @4739-g9c

  • @4739-g9c
    @4739-g9c Місяць тому

    1. Average torque is what's better. Not peaks . 2. You can't have HP without TQ 3. There is no replacement for displacement. Anything you apply to make more hp in a small engine can be applied to a big engine. 4. Hp is a calculated number that includes force applied in given time.

    What is the .43 from?

    • @rageracing6435
      @rageracing6435 Місяць тому

      That is a great question. This is not a scientific formula derived from possible BTU’s of the fuel being burned with the air or anything. This formula is a simple quick way to find real world results to be expected from head flow on a racing engine. Here is an excerpt from one of my books: “But what is the relationship between the capacity on the flow bench and the horsepower of the engine? Tests have shown that if the complete intake system air flow is measured at maximum valve lift and at a test pressure of 10” if water, a well developed racing engine will produce the following HP per cylinder: HP = .43 x (cfm at 10” water) Of course to reach this level, the engine must also have the maximum compression, the right cam, and a tuned exhaust system. In short, it must be a well-tuned racing engine.” The formula is not perfect but it does get pretty darn close. It’s useful to a head porter that if the cfm increases by 1 cfm then expected power output should be around .43 horsepower per cylinder. Keep watching and maybe I’ll get around to testing this formula with one or more of the builds I plan for this channel.

  • @patrickm.8425
    @patrickm.8425 Місяць тому

    My experience has shown me that what you want is BOTH torque and horsepower working together! Example, if I have an engine that makes 550hp/435trq @ 6000rpm, and another engine with 550hp/485trq @ 6000rpm, which one is going to be faster in the 1/8 or 1/4 mile? Answer: you have no idea with that little information! What counts is OVERALL hp/trq “working together”. If engine (A) makes overall more hp/trq than engine (B), everything else being equal, engine (A) will win every time! Hp @ one rpm and trq @ another tells you absolutely nothing about where the overall performance is going to be. The most hp COMBINED with the most trq, over the entire rpm band is what wins races (in a perfect World).

    • @rageracing6435
      @rageracing6435 Місяць тому

      You are partially correct. These are just general formulas to get you in the ballpark, but in real life situations they are pretty close. I can attest to that. Those engine power and torque numbers you quoted are impossible. Power = RPM x Torque / 5252. So, 435 torque at 6000rpm = 496 Horsepower and, 485 torque at 6000rpm = 554 Horsepower Horsepower is a direct result of Torque and RPM. Change just of those numbers and horsepower changes as well. Torque is simply a force with no energy transfer. Horsepower is actual energy transfer. That is what accelerates a car. Energy. High torque at low RPM may create so much horsepower (energy), or Low torque at very high RPM creates the same horsepower (same energy). The car will accelerate close to the same rate given optimized gear ratios and shift points because its the same energy being put into the system.

    I need to make a small correction. At minute 21 in the video I say that the larger flow benches that can draw 28” water test depression are more accurate than my smaller 10 inch unit but with a conversion factor of 1.67 the two flow benches would read the same. That is only mostly true. Higher test pressure will create higher air velocities and if there is an inefficient short side radius the air will detach from the port floor. Harley’s are known For this and even my flow bench can pick this up on the twin cam and evolution heads pretty easily. The 28” test pressure will find this symptoms earlier and easier. Also, my little flow bench is good to about 190cfm at 10” total flow. That equals 320cfm off of a 28” test pressure out of a bigger flow bench. Beyond that my flow bench struggles. So far all the Harley heads I have tested were no problem as well as small block and oval port big block heads. Big block heads flowing 400 cfm are way out of my test range. That is where the bigger flow benches are a necessity.

    • @rageracing6435
      @rageracing6435 Місяць тому

      I’ll agree with that. I know that higher test pressures will get that floor air separation on the short side and that the Harley’s are bad with that. The heads I’ve done on my flow bench and also on a 28” flow bench were 23 degree small block Chevy and early Hemi heads and one big block Chevy and my numbers with my 10” flow bench using the 1.67 correction and they came out pretty much identical. High lifts on Harley heads may make a difference. Once you know how to attack that short side in the end if thr power is there that’s all that matters. And yes, the M-8 exhaust port is shit much beyond .250” lift. The intake I have not run into flow separation at my test pressures. But I gave only tested those to .500”

    Thanks for the explanation! I like cars and engines but I'm no expert in these things. In engineering school we were often looking at the "area under the curve" and what that represents(calculus). I have often thought about HP and torque like this, that the more area under curve the better. Gearing can manipulate this i guess by staying in the power band. This has been improving for a while in modern cars by using fuel injection and now forced induction. Not sure if you have talked about this before, but i would be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

And you are right. There is LOTS of area under the curve with engines. Valve lift profiles, horsepower and torque curves, power applied to the ground.

    the reason one ran 11.34 and the other 11.54 is that power band is different between the 2. power band is defined as peak torque to peak hp. high rpm is 112.2 hp to 123 hp. the low rpm is 103.3 hp to 121 hp. you can see that every gear change that it falls back to peak torque (calculated hp at that rpm) and that is where the difference is.

      I input the whole engine output curves from actual dyno testing into the simulator. And you are correct during the simulated test just as in real life the engine rpm does not dip to reach peak torque if I remember right. It depends on the engine combination. Some like to get into peak torque area. Others like to stay above.

      @rageracing6435 Місяць тому

      It is just a simulation so I would not be surprised if there is an error but the point I was trying to make is still there. As for big torque engine always being easier to launch, I take exception to that statement. High rpm engines can often put more torque to the ground with proper gear ratios plus there is more stored energy in the flywheel when the clutch is released. A lower rpm torque engine dies have a much wider range for errors during the launch. If things aren’t perfect the torque will pull you through it where a peaky high rpm engine could bog if not launched correctly. In either case when high horsepower is involved clutch management and traction are key to launching.

    A good example, but one that may be hard for some to relate to- 2 similar airplanes..piper Navajo: two 540cid piston engines, 350hp/700lb-ft each... Piper Cheyenne=close to same aircraft, but with two turboprop engines, 500hp each, but only around 100 lb-ft. The constant speed (varying blade pitch) propellers allow each to operate at the optimal engine rpm. In other words- the "transmission" lets the engine's full power be used.. The result? Even though somewhat heavier, the turboprop cheyenne pretty much will waste the Navajo in any measurement of performance...acceleration, climb rate, speed, etc. Drag racing is a tricky comparison because of the difficulties of getting power to the ground..sometimes a "torquey" engine is easier to get off the line, or may have a broader spread of power, making average power delivered over the 1/4 mile higher, despite a lower peak power..these things are shortcomings of the transmission and traction, NOT proof that "torque matters and HP is theoretical" or any other BS like that. Horsepower IS a measurement of the rate an engine can do work, torque is not. A 5 gallon bucket full of water hung from the end of a 2x4x8 makes more torque at the other end than either the Vrod, or the big inch engine...but won't get you very far. That e.t. formula is cool- pretty close for my cars and motorcycles. For the "torque" crowd...have you raced a torque rich fairly stock H-D against a "gutless" 600 sport bike with 1/3 or less the torque? If you won, it was by surprise. Not that I'm a big 600 fan, but they are generally almost 120 crankshaft hp, and not slow.

    I believe what you are saying. If you look at many racing disciplines, they have been turning higher & higher RPM until they have reached a ceiling of costs/reliability, then guy's just started making larger displacement engines. But, getting an engine to make power at 10K + RPM takes a lot, first and foremost, a cylinder head that can flow the required air. The cylinder head & induction package is the single biggest limiting factor in turning higher RPM. If the head chokes @7500 RPM, a bigger cam won't help etc. Great info.Thank you.

    I would argue that we cant make horsepower and that torque is the only thing that matters because its the only thing we can make. horse power is only a calculated value based on how much torque you produce and how long it takes to produce said torque. in order to calculate more horse power we need to produce more torque or take less time to produce the same torque. if you increase air flow by changing heads or cams or forced whatever.... you will make more torque and also calculate a higher HP number. Same if you shorten the time it takes...ie more rpm you will also calculate more HP. torque is the twisting force that makes the wheels turn, no torque..no turn..lol. ultimately you want as much torque as you can make without breaking stuff and produce it as quickly as you can this will calculate the highest HP numbers... sooo the highest rpm at the highest torque is the fastest because it does the most work... no need to calculate horse power..lol

      @mociczyczki correct, sir.. if I read that correctly. Torque is a result of the work done in the combustion chamber, so fuel and ignition must be correct. Crank throw, and that counts for sure. Power does count... big time. But it's a calculated number based on torque and rpm. It tells how much work an engine is doing. If you make more power you will go faster for sure, all else been equal. How do we have more power.... we make more torque or push said torque higher in the rpm range so we can do more work per minute. Ultimately we are all chasing more power(I think.) .. but it's torque and rpm that get us there. My wrx makes 900 plus horsepower at 9250ish rpm. My friends wrx makes 775hp , but he makes more torque. I mostly always win in quater mile... except when I change from first to forth..haha..

      @rageracing6435 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment and that is actually an excellent question I've been waiting for. For one reason the chassis dyno always measures horsepower. It takes a transfer of energy to accelerate a heavy mass up to speed. That energy is horsepower and the heavy mass is the dyno drum. The dyno does not measure torque directly. The Chassis Dyno calculates Torque at the engine. The dyno computer keeps track of how quickly the drum is accelerating and calculates how much horsepower is being delivered to make that acceleration. The dyno computer also reads engine RPM while accelerating the drum. The mathematical formula for finding Horsepower is (Torque X RPM) / 5252. Just the same the mathematical formula to find Torque is (Horsepower x 5252) / RPM. The dyno computer knowing the horsepower being put into accelerating the drum and reading the engine RPM at the same time does the calculation and shows you your torque output at the engine. Not at the wheel. If you run a car or bike or anything on a dyno whether you run in 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear or any possible gear you will always get the same result for horsepower and torque (minus things like frictional drag and differences in accelerating your own drive line). Try it. But you know 1st gear accelerates faster than 5th right? So what is going on? The chassis Dyno directly measures Horsepower. Your engine always makes the same horsepower no matter what gear you are in. The chassis dyno reflects this. Torque = (Horsepower x 5252) / RPM . As you run on a chassis dyno in 1st gear you have tremendous amounts of torque going to the wheel and the dyno drum because of the torque multiplication of your 1st gear. Thats why its easy to spin the tire on the drum and you can really get that drum moving fast as your engine hits redline super quick. Now go up to 5th gear and make a run. Now your tires are going a lot faster. The drum is spinning a lot faster but it takes a much longer time to rev out the engine. You are putting much less torque at the rear wheel because of the lack of torque multiplication from being in 5th gear but since the drum's (and your tire's) rpm is much faster using the above formula the Torque calculated at the engine is still the same. I recommend watching my other video about Torque vs. Horsepower. As an interesting side note. A engine dynamometer directly reads torque and uses the same calculation above to figure horsepower. So its exactly the opposite than a chassis dyno. I hope this answered your question.

      Thank you for the comment! What got me through my Highschool and college Physics classes was mentally applying everything I was learning to drag racing my car. Thats the red Camaro from the video. Growing up as a gear head and having a basic understanding of what was going on in automotive applications sure made those classes much more entertaining and easier to pick up.

    You might wonder why I used Torque as the unit of measurement going through these examples rather than Horsepower. The reason is Horsepower remains the same going through the gears. Horsepower is Torque x RPM divided by 5252 so as the Torque is multiplied the RPM goes down by the same multiplier. Therefore the Horsepower remains the same. Horsepower is a unit of energy. The energy always remains the same. Torque is a unit of force. The force can be multiplied but the overall energy going through the system will be the same from its source (minus small frictional losses of course).

      I have modified and tuned V-rods as well. I like V-rods. But by far not the fastest things I’ve built that was American made. Keep watching. I plan to resurrect this channel soon. Put some good content on it.

      Ive got some knowledge on turbos. I don’t like them on v-twins. What I do like and have experience building is v-8 roots style supercharger engines. If I had to build a v-rod turbo engine I would convert it to methanol to take advantage of the compression of the v-rod engine and cooling properties of the fuel so no intercooler would be needed then I would run boost to around 25psi to 30psi. Power at that point would enough to shatter the clutch basket and probably any part of the transmission and probably the bottom end (but I could be wrong). My feeling is if the Destroyer can run in the 8’s with naturally aspirated then the turbo is not needed.
