Just a heads up you want as little valve overlap as possible on a turbo setup... you want them to open then slam shut to hold the boost pressure charge in not blow it out the exhaust port it wastes valuable duration on the camshaft blowing boost out the exhaust valve...
Vinny Calvo..Well better pushrods didn’t come with the pile of parts that he is bolting on to make this think so amazing! Lol. Goes back to the extreme lack of mechanical understanding and knowledge.
I think they said there's an ARC rod. I don't know that brand but maybe they thought of it. What bugs me is I could have SWORN turbos dont like a cam with a lot of overlap... my memory is faulty but... i dunno.
@@lpmorgan90 wrong. It's to cool the charged air AFTER it passes through the turbo. I recommended ethanol to lower cylinder temps because it has a natural cooling effect.
Hey Man, Awesome build!! Great to see the progress to efi. Just wanted to mention that a larger collector at the turbo may be required as the waste gate exhaust can interfere with the exhaust and cause a bunch of problems with boost creep, low spool and hot egts. Maybe make a separate pipe that joins in for the waste gate
I really like the clear parts on these builds, that would be cool if the pullstart was clear and flywheel cover.. clear is dope for viewing these beautiful bullet parts 😍
You guys need to start getting into bigger cams.... like a f275 or 308 but great video! Love the way the engine looks. How did you install the brass Barbs in the billet side cover?
Just have to have valve pockets cut into the piston. Drag mini bike guys use big cams even bigger than a 308 in a hemi predator with over size valves around a 32 28 set up. All you see people using is mod 2 cans most the time a a mod2 ain't much better than a stock cam
Linda Castro yeah valve reliefs in the piston or shave it down quite a bit and just get the stroker rod. It aint much but i mean🤷🏽♂️anything is something
I put a 265 cam in a gx200 an hour ago and I spun I’d over by hand for 5 minutes. Didn’t have a clearance issue. What would be making the difference is there that much difference to the predators
Yeah I think the turbo is going to be "just for fun" but I like it anyway. Even if it made boost whether this particular EFI can take advantage of it is a big question.
Only n00bs run low compression with boost. With a good cylinder head, quality charge cooling, the proper timing, and a lot of octane you can easily run high compression, high boost, high power motors. This 212 motor though.. while they proved in the dyno episode the turbo is actually adding power, it's not really that much.
That cam is not going to be ideal for a turbocharged application. Minimal overlap is what your lookin for. All of that captured energy coming from the turbo will get spit right back out the exhaust and the turbo will be all for nothing. This is especially true in your case, where you’ll be lucky to see 5 lbs
Build Break Repeat can the efi control timing? Yall should try running a single COP coil off of a car engine if so and set up some anti-lag/2-step on the thing
@@Skwisgar2322 that was years and years ago, before they really knew what they were doing. I'd love for them to revise that thing with all they've learned.
@@BuildBreakRepeat Nah boss a couple of channels have done the same thing with efi and it was only semi effective they only moved the power band to a higher area in the rev range
Nicks backyardprojects...lol exactly. It doesn’t matter how many parts you can “bolt on” to this thing. You still actually have to know the why and the how of building boosted engines if you really want it to work. I applaud them giving it a try, but there is an enormous lack of knowledge behind this project... which almost always spells disaster. I wish you all the best though, I hope you succeed in whatever the hell you are trying to do here.
Good job guys! Glad to hear you've decided to go the EFI route. Which system are you going to use and about how much will it set you back? I've been impatiently waiting on nanoefi myself. After you've tuned this and dyno'd it you should cut the drive portion off and run it belt or chain driven as a supercharger. Taking a WAG I'd think you should get 20%-40% more power and you'd definitely get boost over a wider RPM range.
You can poboy balance the crankshaft use old bearings on the crank with the piston rod rings everything together on the crank as if it was in the engine. Use something to set the crank bearings in for the crankshaft to be able to spin in the bearings freely with the piston and rod hanging down spin the crank to see if the weights are heavier or the piston is heavier you will then know what is heavier to take material off of. If done correctly you will have a engine that will last! Not doing so results in bearing wear then rod nock then worse from then on. Not hating on the turbo build I think its sweet tbh. Also remember with force induction you'll always be taking timing out. I'd start with stock ignition timing and go from there 32 degrees i still think is to much.
This will be interesting when its built, question will it actually be worth the money put into it....likely not at all. Still really don't understand upgrading small engine vs buying a motorcycle or quad engine. Thought for later, what about building a gearbox for one of your projects and testing it vs just a sproket. :)
I could be wrong, but that head that you added. Is it not the same one the 208cc engines use? I swapped my simpson 208 head onto my predator. I believe that they have bigger valves
does it matter which way you orient the turbo? all the turbo's I see on normal cars face towards the direction of travel. does it grab less air or lose efficiency routed in reverse?
No, it wouldn’t actually. 1) better to have a little longer downpipe for noise reasons, and 2) if they flipped it around the intake piping would be way longer than necessary

If you get the turbo working right, you'll have achieved something Cars & Cameras didn't. Not knocking them, because I like a lot of their stuff. But they just never got the turbo working in a way that was satisfactory. It'll be interesting to see how this progresses and if it can get dialed in on a small engine like this.
Your gonna kill all you boost with that cam. The boost will just flow straight out the exhaust with all that overlap. You want an love separation angle of about 115-112° with boost. Don't know the lsa it has now so please tell me what it is. Also don't want too much duration. Maybe 230 max. You really want high lift low duration amd a wide lsa with boost
@@fullmetaljacket7 yep, I have the same turbo on a 300cc water cooled scooter, and it just starts to make boost at 5500. 212 is never going to get enough heat to spool that turbo. They would be better off with EFI and a 10 shot of nitrous.
Kinda scary dinging a new cam against the crank. Big cam may get smaller and smaller. I figure with a build like this it wont last that long anyway. Suggest a quick hone before new rings. Im ready to see if its worth the $ or not.

no man..
Agreed, it would actually make proper boost.

Finally someone who knows how to use a feeler gauge, the feeler gauge isnt supposed to slide in easily, its supposed to be a little hard
Painting the cooling fins is like wrapping them in insulation to hold the heat in.
Lol no it's not.
@@Jeremy-iv9bc actually it is. the motor is air cooled, surface area is needed to keep the motor cool, hence the fins.
@@Naferner_Said yea but that's why they used engine paint it's made to dissipate heat well
If you're not running an intercooler I would run ethanol with the EFI set up.
thing wont make enough MAD to even need an intercooler.. 2-3lbs at best
The idea of the intercooler isn't to cool the turbo... it's to cool the air going through the turbo haha
@@lpmorgan90 wrong. It's to cool the charged air AFTER it passes through the turbo. I recommended ethanol to lower cylinder temps because it has a natural cooling effect.
@@scottycotner I knew I got it arse way round haha nevermind
It would be a shame to turbo the Rotary engine, but Imagine how awesome that would be!!😂😂

Thanks, guys nice build. I also enjoyed the early 90's dye job.
I did the exact same thing with painting my block and sanding the fins . I thought I was the only person to ever do it !
Man,that is SIC ! You guys Rock the Net !
Patience and time are key
I'd be intrigued to see one of these running on E90... that would probably crank out some really good power when it hits boost!

They already had clearance issues with then new cam, a bigger cam would make that worse

Linda Castro yeah valve reliefs in the piston or shave it down quite a bit and just get the stroker rod. It aint much but i mean🤷🏽♂️anything is something
U guys are genius!
Rotate the turbo 90⁰ and the exhaust will dump out the side. As well as the intake side will dump into the carb.
Looks sick
when checking ring gap make sure you scrape the side of the bore with the feeler gauges
Your intro is just so amazing ^^ great video
You know you want high lift with minimal overlap for turbos.... just fyi. Keep up the good work
looks so good
Long overlap+turbo=mistake
quick question, why are flat head pistons used instead of the regular ones?
So nice to see you put a dial indicator in a vice. Really professional for sure. What next, maybe your gland's peinus ????

Where to buy a adapter for Exaust-turbo ? Please help
Damm that's one mean engine
It’s funny that a stage 4 kit is almost an entire new motor and you just keep the short block and a couple shrouds 😂
Amazing video! It seems every video you make even more progress!
Edit: also never seen a black 212 before and it looks AMAZING
higher compression and turbo not a good combination, usually you lower compression when boosting
True but more power off idle.
Depends, lower compression in good when you want to run a lot of boost. Doubt this turbo will be able to generate 20 or 30 psi😂
Yeah I think the turbo is going to be "just for fun" but I like it anyway. Even if it made boost whether this particular EFI can take advantage of it is a big question.
Only n00bs run low compression with boost. With a good cylinder head, quality charge cooling, the proper timing, and a lot of octane you can easily run high compression, high boost, high power motors.
This 212 motor though.. while they proved in the dyno episode the turbo is actually adding power, it's not really that much.
He set the ring gap at .057 that’s huge lol. It should let some compression past the rings
You do realize that by painting it will make it run hotter the paint acts like a insulation not allowing the heat to disparate

All of that captured energy coming from the turbo will get spit right back out the exhaust and the turbo will be all for nothing.

Yeah in automotive applications that's kinda the standard deal, don't want high duration or overlap on a turbo application
God damn you went really tryhard on this engine niceee dude👌👌🔥🔥
Looks awesome would be sick if there was a way to run a 2 step to build boost before launching it
Jeremy Howell Dude we were thinking of that, this efi system is really cool, might be able to do it
