I'm bing watching this series as if it were House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or Better Call Saul. Thank you so much for making this series !!! It explains so much for us noobs out there. Pete, if you're ever in New Orleans, I'll buy you a drink/dinner. I owe you at least that much.
Came in for description of intake manifolds, went out with basic understanding of velocity profiles of pipes and a little quantum physics. This series is awesome.
My father was a mechanic all his life. And one of the best.. He should have been the one teaching me this instead of a stranger on youtube. But as they say its not the messenger its whether you get the message. Thanks man. What you do really means a lot to me.
This is really fantastic! I will never bold an engine but the detail and the way you explain it makes me think I could. Don't listen to the jerks who say it's boring. No... they just aren't smart enough to get it and don't count anyway. There are those who can do but can't teach. YOU are a great teacher, sir. :)
I heard you mention these videos are getting long and boring. I LOVE this channel. The amount of information you give is awesome please keep making in depth video. I love to know the why and whats happening. Most videos you see is just how to install a intake or whatever part. Thank you so much for making these
My hats off to you Pete. I probably will never build an engine but I learned so much watching your vdos.......and today while watching this vdo, I now know why my engine spits oil back....Thinking of increasing the volume of intake manifold...let me take my Honda airwave 2005 to garage and ask them about it. you are doing an excellent job.....respect
Just found this from a mopar page , I have barely tinkered in my 440 , or anything for a long time, haven't personally put engines together for decades ( no garage , no $$$!) But, hoping that changes in a month or two ,FINALLY LOL I didn't know how much I forgot because I haven't used the knowledge !, but ,as so as you described almost everything, I couldn't believe how much I already knew and you retaught me, easily, because you made it basic and simple , pretty much the same as i might do ! I have been sort of long distance teaching my son for years (he is on okinawa, working on my old base as a contractor after he got out) , now, I can teach him some more of what I forgot i knew, :) , with this video ! I need to figure out how to make these videos, cut out the bad and such lol , but THANKS for the time you took in making this video !
If people are complaining about the videos being too long, they can go to another channel. This is an education channel in my opinion. This has become one of my favorite channels.
Pete first I need to thank you for the awesome t shirt. And the awesome videos I'm 54 years old and you have made my life better by putting your knowledge on U Tube. I was so bad at understanding the basic principles of mechanics. If I was a monkey in the jungle I would be the monkey eating the peels and throwing the banana away. But not any more I'm on my second engine. Thanks to you Pete. Blessings and more Blessings Thank you for sharing
You deserved it. Thank you very much for your comments. They help me, we are all here to learn. We about the same age and I learn something new every day. Blessings to you my friend.
I love this series. That's something I have been looking for for years. And Pete is very versatile: paint artist, physician and german speaker (langsam) XD smashing :)
I can't thank you enough for the work you've done in creating these videos. This is by far the best video resource freely available on the internet for building / rebuilding engines. Thank you Pete, this series has had a huge impact on my understanding of engines and how they work.
Hey Pete, I think you misspoke when you were giving the peak hp peak trq example. Its simply not possible for you to have your peak hp @ 4880 with your peak trq @ 5000. HP is a derived number. The math requires peak hp to be at an rpm equal to or greater than peak trq. rpm x trq / 5252.
Thank you for amazing VDO on youtube. i'm currently studying automotive engineering in Thailand but i've never know anything about engine assembly so this can help me a lot to upgrade my 4g63T engine.Now i can only tuning but i'll try to assembly the engine by myself after watch your VDO. Big thanks Petes !
A lot of science behind intake manifolds. And I definitely understand more than I did an hour ago. So I'd really love to see a video series on a turbo 4 cylinder build, that's my latest obsession. Thanks.
Pete, been watching you for a few months now. You are a awesome gearhead, thank you for sharing your expert knowledge . I have been building for close to 50 years now, always on a tight budget. Sometimes this make it more challenging how good of an engine i can build for low buck cost. Have done good over the years maybe just lucky. Current build is a 68 327 SBC , 30 over, Forged FT Scat rods . Had a top quality machinist (now retired) sad day. I opted for some 64 cc heads, 190 intake runners, hope runners aren't to large for my little 333... On a last note, my name is Peterson, so i go by Pete as well, also have two best buds hanging around my shop both pugs lol...
Your videos are so informative I never thought I would understand engine design at this level. All your vids are great and would like to thank you for taking the time to influence us out here in the technical manner that you do. Just AWESOME!!!
This is an awesome and very informative series. Dont deprive us of info because someone thinks these videos are too long. If they think they are too long they know how to fast forward through it. I have been to tech schools and oem schools and havent found someone thats more thorough than you. Thanks for the informative videos!!!
Thank you very much Nathan. My goal is to make it easy to understand and helpful. It's difficult to make it sound fun...maybe a couple chicks in bikinis would help.....lol
Pete, the reason for your 'ridiculously long' explanations is simply your vast knowledge … you can't help yourself. Keep it coming. Your explanations are just the right length. Thanks.
+Diesel Ready I'm trying to answer as many questions as possible when I make a video. People do not realize the amount of text messages I get. The more I put in the video, the less people have to ask directly. Thank you my friend!
+Petes Garage - Your videos are fantastically informative. I've watched several of them more than once so that the info percolates, haha. Thank you, Pete. You really know your stuff, and your enthusiasm really shines.
I definitely have enjoyed these videos. I have a 92 LX hatch that has the 2.3 in it. I am about to rebuild a windsor for it, so these videos are just perfect and really are extremely detailed! I will definitely give you a call if I have any questions!!
Thanks Pete, we agree with the end results. Very hard to explain in short time without going to far into the basics, we have designed and produced fuel injected for flathead 60s
All of these Videos are great, but the part on intake manifold and boundary layer portion is my favorite so far, Thanks Pete!!! When I went to University automotive engineering was not my major but the coolest class I ever sat in on was Engine Thermodynamics, that and this topic has me intrigued like few others.
Wow! Awesome series! I can't stop watching!! I've always been a DIYer, and have worked plenty on my cars, but I'm going to be building my first engine for a '79 Jeep CJ7 and this has been the most informative and thorough video I've seen series yet. I've learned a TON. Thanks, Pete! Keep it up!
This is a great inspiration for me to continue with my Mech. Engineering degree. Plus the level for detail and math satiates my nerdy needs! Cant wait to start building cars. Thanks for creating these videos Pete!
Whatever you do, don't give up on that degree. It gets really hard, but you will have it forever. And the math is just for junkies like us. Thanks Anthony!
Every video I watch builds on the previous one. I though I had a clue about what I was doing with my build. Ionly kinda did. Fortunately I did consult the experts and it appears that they led me down the right path for a reliable daily driven increased power engine.
In my honest opinion, not that it matters, there's really no point in teaching someone how to build an engine if they're not gonna learn how it works. I found it very helpful that you combined theory with the how to. I learned a lot from this series, and it helped me make better decisions as to what parts I want to get when I start my build project.
Thanks for explaining it so well. I have a better understanding now about the BMW disa valve and why changing the size of the manifold helps. Very clever concept.
some intake reversion can be cut down, by true cross over headers, the other deal is to change two firing orders(plus a cam change to match, so when one intake runner is getting air from the plenum it can use the opposite runner for increased plenum space, the other deal is extended runners in the plenum or jiggle the rocker arm ratios, the object of the game is equal combustion pressure between all 8, I understand everything your talking about, your stuff is spot on.
Love the amount of information in your engine building series. thank you for taking the time to put this out for us. I myself have learned a lot, and will be using your videos as a tool for the engine swap and rebuild on my work truck. thank you again friend.
theres a lot more to an intake manifold then I ever Imagined, no wonder theres thousands of different designs. This video is definately a 2 time minimum watch to get all the info in my head.
thanx for the info on this video...best I have ever seen.....Im not very good as far as the tech language goes but I was able to understand the whole presentation and now have furthered my knowledge as far as intake systems go
Hey I'm Michael from Arizona. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put in on these videos and I like that you explain how everything works not just how to assemble an engine. I have built a few engines myself but I still have learned a great deal watching your series. If your ever in Az let me know :)
Thank you Pete. I really enjoy your style of explanation of this theory. I cant wright a essay to save my life but I understood everything u said. I have a diploma in automotive engineering but my writing skills were no adequate for me to attain a degree. Thank you for making theses videos, I wish I had a workshop owner like u.
hi again Pete. every one is a resource if we read them witout judgment we can learn a lot.... this video is fantastic learned a lot.... I got stuck wen u were showing the cam shaft and pointing out the different aspects of it... the stains on ur work table have a nice affect.. the way it refracts the light.. wat is it.. if that not too weird of a question. in engine building part 5
Great series. It's helping heaps on my build. This video has identified another part adding to the lean cylinder problem my motor has. I'm looking at redesigning a new manifold, but was hoping you could give some pointers or directions on what I should be looking at for a twincharged direct injection 4 cyl engine. Supercharger runs until 3,500rpm, and from there on the turbo takes over.
Thank you for explaining with lots of detail,I had no problem following along. It is a very good video, thank you So Much.I am going to be putting an edelbrock intake on my 350 motor in my 1978 Camaro. I am not sure if I will go with a Roller cam or not at this time.Thanks again, Now going to look for more of your videos!
Awesome video Pete. I wanted to point out a very interesting fact that not many people are aware. The misconception is that we as humans breathe because we suck in air. We actually breathe because of the atmospheric pressure of the earth at about 14.7psi at the surface. The difference in pressure inside our lungs that we create by contractions, just like the difference in pressure inside of a cylinder is what allows the air or fuel/air to enter that cavity!
Petes Garage You talk a lot about velocity and that is an awesome subject. If you didn't already know, a vehicle traveling 70mph is traveling about 102 feet per second. Velocity is a measurement in distance traveled in a certain amount of time. There are 5280' in a mile and 3600 seconds in an hour. Divide that and you have 1.466. So multiply any MPH by 1.466 and you have the objects velocity. You can apply the concept to nearly anything traveling at a constant rate. That's my speech for the day enjoy your weekend! You can also determine how long it will take to stop!
You're a smart guy Pete-- Remember the BB Chevy and oval port VS rectangular cylinder heads and some people used to say they preferred the oval even though Chevy said the rect. was used on their higher performance engines-- I know the rect. heads did have bigger valves which would usually add HP-- Also some people used to MISMATCH intake but to me tat never made any sense to intentionally block free flowing air, like putting a rect. intake onto oval port heads-- enjoying your vids
Like others, binge watched up to this point today. Getting ready to build a Shelby Cobra replica and this information is invaluable in helping make decisions on my engine build. What an incredible resource! Thanks a ton Pete! I'll echo others sentiments - I'll buy you a beer if you're ever in the Denver, CO area! Cheers!
Petes Garage Thanks for asking! I'm planning to get the Factory Five Mk4 Roadster complete kit, so drivetrain is one of the biggest build plan areas that I'm working on. I've decided that I want a 302 block with fuel injection but haven't made many decisions beyond that yet. It will be mainly a street cruiser, not racing or dragging. I'd like to make around 400 HP on pump gas if possible. The good thing is that I'm still saving for the purchase so that is forcing me to make a good build plan!
Wow!!! This one is fantastic. I learned so much and as you stated you were only going over the concepts and not the detailed math. Can not wait to watch more and I love the comment below that said get me a sandwich because he could not stop watching. Looking forward to the rest and looking into other videos you have done.
+Petes Garage Thanks for all the great information, I am going through some manifold issues and this really helped me understand the varous issues I need to consider. Double check you high, low pressure air wing description as I think the low pressure is on the high side of the wing and the high pressure pushes from the bottom of the wing. Correct me if I'm wrong and maybe I've been wrong for years. Anyway thanks for the info, great job!
I like these videos I've been learning a lot some of it is over my head but I can understand what you mean by it been wanting to build my own motor for my dirt car and we're limited on what we can run just wanna save some money but still be competitive thanks for all the videos never seen any other videos so in depth
Fan bloody tastic! really helped me get my head around the last bit i could never fully nut out on my own. Intake manifold on my engine build is shot to shit so I may have to build a new one (4G63B engines arn't exactly popular for the aftermarket). but this explanation will give me a good start into HOW i will go about it!
with the information provided and my tooling at hand, i'm actually gonna take a bash at quad throttled body! we shall see indeed how it goes. I'll link you a video when it's up and running :)
Pete here we are again buddy I was waiting for this for so long. Thanks a million iam no math wizard at all by any means. But I will say you have given a great gift of knowledge with your series. Keep up the excellent work.
Your amazing as always sir . Im waiting for electrical connections and computer video. Thank you very much for your useful efforts . Just a little question are you a mechanical engineer ?
Thanks Pete i was wondering if you or anyone else can figure this out i,m building a 302 sbf engine have a new cam wrapped in grease & plastic , is there a way to know the firing order from the lobe pattern ?
I also really like the depth of this video. I'm learning and its really helping me understand what kind of intake manifold i need. Also, It would be nice to see someone make a video about building an engine for climbing are really long and steep sand dune. I have a 78 cherokee chief with a 5.9 amc engine and that is what i'd like to build it for. There is nothing on youtube that covers a sand dune engine build for climbing.
There are some very niche type engines that people want to build. I do not run across enough of them to make a video every single one, but if you apply the basic principles you will be sucessful.
what do think the basic principle of an engine build for this type of activity is? guess i need to know where the peak horse power or torque should be. I have no idea where thoe's need to be in this type of application. would you have any tips to just point me in the right direction? even just in a comment would be great.
I looked up your video thanks for your help. I’m really wanting to build my own intake for an 8.1 496 since aftermarket is lacking. I want to weld square aluminum tubes to a low profile v plenum but worried about throttle response. It’s going to be duel carb. I have a lot of ideas. Thanks again.
Pete, being an aircraft mechanic your boundary layer air also relates to the airflow on the fuselage of a high performance aircraft along with many other aspects of aircraft design. The other thing is the relationship between volume and pressure. Pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa, also the velocity of air flowing from one size diameter of pipe or tubing to another diameter. Bernoulli’s Principle. Pete to me your videos are not long enough. Thank you for sharing all the technical information that you do. Stay well and safe from one New Yorker to another. 🇺🇸😊😊😊 lest get those isometric drawings up to date better yet use Auto Cad. Lol Pete does the height of the bungs you welded on effect your fuel injector flow n anyway.?
Thank you Arthur, great comment!. I could draw everything in SolidWorks and use 3D models, but that's overkill...lol. The height of the bung is an interesting question. I'll have to think about it and work out some calculations.
You mentioned people complained about the videos being a bit lengthy because of the amount of detail you go into in certain areas. Maybe you could consider two different series. One could be "Engine Building Part 9: Intake Manifold Installation" and a parallel series "Engine Theory Part 9: Intake Manifold Theory" I enjoy the theory discussions and the detail you go into on some of the things. If you're looking to produce more content I would enjoy watching theory discussions.
This series is invaluable! I'm working on a project involving an engine built 20+ years ago by someone else. I've rebuilt several engines back to stock specifications but this is my first dive into modification. Its a CSB 400 with aluminium heads and a Corvette Tuned Port Injection manifold. I plan on putting it into a Jeep TJ for a trail devoted rig. My plan is to disassemble, measure, and identify all the components then treat it, like you suggest, as a plan for a total build. That way I can make decisions, based on the intended purpose, as to whether or not the components are appropriate. Thanks to you, I have a way to identify the cam and combustion chamber specifics. This video leaves me with more questions. Is there a way to discern performance specifics on the existing manifold, i.e. flow bench, water displacement measurement, existing data on a stock TPI? Thank you again. As many have said, this is truly a service to the car community and is VERY appreciated!
Thank you Jon. Great name! That was my grandfathers name as well. You could probably look up the volume and data on the existing. Gotta be a way to find out. If it is plastic and you are not building too radical my guess it that it would be sufficient
@@PetesGarage Thanks for the reply Peter! I know this is an old video. The intake manifold in question is GM's "Tuned Port Injection" fuel injection system from the 80's. It came off a 350 Corvette motor. Its a really neat system with a center plenum and long runners that cross over each other and run to the opposite side of the motor. Its a work of art in my opinion, beautiful lines and curves. This motor was a drag racing build so the fuel control system is rudimentary at best and I'm sure I will need to source something more modern to handle an off-road application. I'm just looking for information that will help me decide if that intake manifold is appropriate for the rest of the build. Thank you again! I really appreciate you taking the time to help out the less experienced, lol.
Pete, I was somewhat surprised that you said you were going to sandblast this manifold. The first thing that came to mind was what you said about not blasting an oil pan because one little part could cause your engine to fail. I do not mean to cause any problems but I am having a hard time telling what the difference is. Could you explain the difference to me? Thanks my friend, I love your videos so please keep them coming !!!!!!
A manifold is different because you can see and clean ever passage. And if by chance a particle gets sucked in, it will get tossed right out the exhaust. If it's in the oil pan it could go through the lubrication system and cause major damage
@@PetesGarage Thanks Pete !!!!! You do great work and I really appreciate you explaining this to me and especially for all the info you give us on how to rebuild an engine. Thanks my friend !!!!!!
I'm bing watching this series as if it were House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or Better Call Saul. Thank you so much for making this series !!! It explains so much for us noobs out there. Pete, if you're ever in New Orleans, I'll buy you a drink/dinner. I owe you at least that much.
Wow....so you're the one...lol. I'll be in Houston in a couple weeks. New Orleans is on my schedule somewhere.
Ha, I"m doing same! great vidoes
Came in for description of intake manifolds, went out with basic understanding of velocity profiles of pipes and a little quantum physics. This series is awesome.
I guess it's kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new tv shows online?

some intake reversion can be cut down, by true cross over headers, the other deal is to change two firing orders(plus a cam change to match, so when one intake runner is getting air from the plenum it can use the opposite runner for increased plenum space, the other deal is extended runners in the plenum or jiggle the rocker arm ratios, the object of the game is equal combustion pressure between all 8, I understand everything your talking about, your stuff is spot on.
+tom ashton Thank you for the comment. Those are great suggestions.
great information thanks for sharing
Love the amount of information in your engine building series. thank you for taking the time to put this out for us. I myself have learned a lot, and will be using your videos as a tool for the engine swap and rebuild on my work truck. thank you again friend.
+mynamewastaken06 I am so glad to help
Im loving this series and your channel so much. I've learned a lot...but i busted out laughing when you first drew the carburetor lol
I never claimed to be an artist....lol
theres a lot more to an intake manifold then I ever Imagined, no wonder theres thousands of different designs. This video is definately a 2 time minimum watch to get all the info in my head.
Thanks Darren. There is allot going on and it is really helpful to understand. Specially when tuning the motor to get every bit out of it.
thanx for the info on this video...best I have ever seen.....Im not very good as far as the tech language goes but I was able to understand the whole presentation and now have furthered my knowledge as far as intake systems go
That is my goal. To make the complex things easy to understand. It's not as difficult as you may think. Some basic concepts can make you an expert.
thank you again
I'm following this entire series! I can't wait to see # 9!!!!
Should be done this week
***** Yes!
Hi Pete's garage, your lessons have been giving insights on what I need to know about engines so keep it up man.👍👍
Awesome....thank you
Hey Pete, great series. Really appreciate you taking the time to these awesome videos together.
+Justin Bauman Thanks for watching my friend
your great in your format=being yourself, i enjoyed it and learned alot ,THANKS
+Richard Kodger I'm so glad to help
Hey I'm Michael from Arizona. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put in on these videos and I like that you explain how everything works not just how to assemble an engine. I have built a few engines myself but I still have learned a great deal watching your series. If your ever in Az let me know :)
Michael Clowser Thanks Michael. I'd love to get to Az soon. I'm heading to LA at the end of the month.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on engines!! These videos are Pure Gold.
Thank you for watching Devan
Thank you Pete. I really enjoy your style of explanation of this theory. I cant wright a essay to save my life but I understood everything u said. I have a diploma in automotive engineering but my writing skills were no adequate for me to attain a degree. Thank you for making theses videos, I wish I had a workshop owner like u.
+Dushan Degamboda Thank you for watching....I'm glad to help
hi again Pete. every one is a resource if we read them witout judgment we can learn a lot.... this video is fantastic learned a lot.... I got stuck wen u were showing the cam shaft and pointing out the different aspects of it... the stains on ur work table have a nice affect.. the way it refracts the light.. wat is it.. if that not too weird of a question. in engine building part 5
+Dushan Degamboda I think it's just a piece of plastic
Great series. It's helping heaps on my build. This video has identified another part adding to the lean cylinder problem my motor has. I'm looking at redesigning a new manifold, but was hoping you could give some pointers or directions on what I should be looking at for a twincharged direct injection 4 cyl engine. Supercharger runs until 3,500rpm, and from there on the turbo takes over.
Thank you for explaining with lots of detail,I had no problem following along. It is a very good video, thank you So Much.I am going to be putting an edelbrock intake on my 350 motor in my 1978 Camaro. I am not sure if I will go with a Roller cam or not at this time.Thanks again, Now going to look for more of your videos!
Thanks Scott. I'm working on making them easier to find. Love the 78 Camaro!
Love the series, can't wait for the next one! Better than anything on Netflix :-)
awesome work
Awesome video Pete. I wanted to point out a very interesting fact that not many people are aware. The misconception is that we as humans breathe because we suck in air. We actually breathe because of the atmospheric pressure of the earth at about 14.7psi at the surface. The difference in pressure inside our lungs that we create by contractions, just like the difference in pressure inside of a cylinder is what allows the air or fuel/air to enter that cavity!
That is a cool comment. Understanding why something happens is what I'm all about
Petes Garage You talk a lot about velocity and that is an awesome subject. If you didn't already know, a vehicle traveling 70mph is traveling about 102 feet per second. Velocity is a measurement in distance traveled in a certain amount of time. There are 5280' in a mile and 3600 seconds in an hour. Divide that and you have 1.466. So multiply any MPH by 1.466 and you have the objects velocity. You can apply the concept to nearly anything traveling at a constant rate. That's my speech for the day enjoy your weekend! You can also determine how long it will take to stop!
That is really cool, thank you.
You're a smart guy Pete-- Remember the BB Chevy and oval port VS rectangular cylinder heads and some people used to say they preferred the oval even though Chevy said the rect. was used on their higher performance engines-- I know the rect. heads did have bigger valves which would usually add HP--
Also some people used to MISMATCH intake but to me tat never made any sense to intentionally block free flowing air, like putting a rect. intake onto oval port heads-- enjoying your vids
That's great info, thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks sir.. you're working really hard for us..
the
Like others, binge watched up to this point today. Getting ready to build a Shelby Cobra replica and this information is invaluable in helping make decisions on my engine build. What an incredible resource! Thanks a ton Pete! I'll echo others sentiments - I'll buy you a beer if you're ever in the Denver, CO area! Cheers!
That is awesome Jacob! What kit are you buying? It may be worth a trip to Denver just for a beer
Petes Garage Thanks for asking! I'm planning to get the Factory Five Mk4 Roadster complete kit, so drivetrain is one of the biggest build plan areas that I'm working on. I've decided that I want a 302 block with fuel injection but haven't made many decisions beyond that yet. It will be mainly a street cruiser, not racing or dragging. I'd like to make around 400 HP on pump gas if possible. The good thing is that I'm still saving for the purchase so that is forcing me to make a good build plan!
Excellent choice. Sounds like you have a great project planned. When you start building let me know if you need any help.
Will do, thanks!
Wow!!! This one is fantastic. I learned so much and as you stated you were only going over the concepts and not the detailed math. Can not wait to watch more and I love the comment below that said get me a sandwich because he could not stop watching. Looking forward to the rest and looking into other videos you have done.
Thank you Jospeh
I like the water-boarding to demonstrate a point **Really Well-Explained video! THANKS
It was an effective demonstration....lol
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to make this video.
Love the series keep up the good work!
Thank you Matthew
Thanks for the help as it helped me better understand the theory of the intake manifold.
Jeremy Copsey Glad is wasn't confusing
Designing a 3D printed dual plane for a FSAE application, this video is helping a lot!
+Alexander Awesome...I'd love to hear how it turns out
You did a great job, and are a great teacher.
+Gristle Von Raben Thank you my friend
+Petes Garage
Thanks for all the great information, I am going through some manifold issues and this really helped me understand the varous issues I need to consider. Double check you high, low pressure air wing description as I think the low pressure is on the high side of the wing and the high pressure pushes from the bottom of the wing. Correct me if I'm wrong and maybe I've been wrong for years. Anyway thanks for the info, great job!
Only just stumbled onto your channel, but a good watch so far - simple to understand.
Thanks Mark!
Thank you Pete for this interesting explanation
You are very welcome
I like these videos I've been learning a lot some of it is over my head but I can understand what you mean by it been wanting to build my own motor for my dirt car and we're limited on what we can run just wanna save some money but still be competitive thanks for all the videos never seen any other videos so in depth
That's awesome! good luck and I'm happy to help
Well you would need to read up one the wissota rule book for mid west modified to see what we can use were pretty limited
I'll do what I can
That was a fantastic video mate , genius and well explained.
Many thanks!
Finally start to get some good insight in how intakes work. Thanks for the lesson.
69 Roadrunner from Belgium Europe
I bet that Roadrunner turns some heads
Wow alot of thought goes into engines. Never knew. Thanks for the information.
There is a science behind everything.
Very well explained. classical teaching.
Many thanks!
Fan bloody tastic!
really helped me get my head around the last bit i could never fully nut out on my own.
Intake manifold on my engine build is shot to shit so I may have to build a new one (4G63B engines arn't exactly popular for the aftermarket). but this explanation will give me a good start into HOW i will go about it!
Awesome Shaun! I'd love to see your finished part
with the information provided and my tooling at hand, i'm actually gonna take a bash at quad throttled body!
we shall see indeed how it goes. I'll link you a video when it's up and running :)
Another great video. thank you Pete!
You are Brilliant!
Pete here we are again buddy I was waiting for this for so long. Thanks a million iam no math wizard at all by any means. But I will say you have given a great gift of knowledge with your series. Keep up the excellent work.
It's all about helping each other...I learn from comments left here....thank you
Your amazing as always sir . Im waiting for electrical connections and computer video. Thank you very much for your useful efforts . Just a little question are you a mechanical engineer ?
Thank you...yes, I'm mechanical.
***** i appreciate you and your works
I'm not bored, and I do know it "all", I just like hearing people talk the same way I do.
Cool
your all video are very good . it help me thank you so much,
+Sajjad Ahman Thank you
Hey thanks for making those videos Pete they are really informative.
Newbpwng Thanks for watching
Thanks Pete i was wondering if you or anyone else can figure this out i,m building a 302 sbf engine have a new cam wrapped in grease & plastic , is there a way to know the firing order from the lobe pattern ?
Sure, get #1 exhaust at 12 o'cock and rotate clockwise. Follow each exhaust lobe in order as they reach 12 o'clock and that's your firing order
You go into so much detail! This is the video I was looking for. Thanks and sub'd.
Awesome! Glad it helped
I also really like the depth of this video. I'm learning and its really helping me understand what kind of intake manifold i need.
Also, It would be nice to see someone make a video about building an engine for climbing are really long and steep sand dune.
I have a 78 cherokee chief with a 5.9 amc engine and that is what i'd like to build it for.
There is nothing on youtube that covers a sand dune engine build for climbing.
There are some very niche type engines that people want to build. I do not run across enough of them to make a video every single one, but if you apply the basic principles you will be sucessful.
what do think the basic principle of an engine build for this type of activity is? guess i need to know where the peak horse power or torque should be. I have no idea where thoe's need to be in this type of application. would you have any tips to just point me in the right direction? even just in a comment would be great.
Short manifold and a wider LSA on the cam
An amazing series
Thanks Jeff
Great job Bete. Following you from Saudi Arabia. I was hopping to watch the Volvos assembly, l guess I can look for it.
Thank you....Volvo's are not American muscle cars, but fun to work on
Very nice and in depth explanation.
One question.: Inline 6 turbo diesel. Needs more bottom end. So a big plenum with short runners??
Thanks
another great video pete!
I looked up your video thanks for your help. I’m really wanting to build my own intake for an 8.1 496 since aftermarket is lacking. I want to weld square aluminum tubes to a low profile v plenum but worried about throttle response. It’s going to be duel carb. I have a lot of ideas. Thanks again.
Sounds like a really cool project Dave
Thank you for the info Pete! Your a huge help in understanding intake dynamics! ;)
Thanks my friend!
Awesome stuff!
Good explanation thanks
Thank you for helping me with my assignment :) very well presented.
Do I get partial credit?....lol
You are referenced in the report :)
and, fyi, 84% :p
awesome video!!
Pete, being an aircraft mechanic your boundary layer air also relates to the airflow on the fuselage of a high performance aircraft along with many other aspects of aircraft design. The other thing is the relationship between volume and pressure. Pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa, also the velocity of air flowing from one size diameter of pipe or tubing to another diameter. Bernoulli’s Principle. Pete to me your videos are not long enough. Thank you for sharing all the technical information that you do. Stay well and safe from one New Yorker to another. 🇺🇸😊😊😊 lest get those isometric drawings up to date better yet use Auto Cad. Lol Pete does the height of the bungs you welded on effect your fuel injector flow n anyway.?
Thank you Arthur, great comment!. I could draw everything in SolidWorks and use 3D models, but that's overkill...lol. The height of the bung is an interesting question. I'll have to think about it and work out some calculations.
Thanks for your reply Pete. Like I said your videos are full of technical information. Greatly appreciate your knowledge and sharing. 😊🇺🇸
Thx Pete you explain this so well. Fitz
Thanks Fitz!
What books can I get to understand this even better. This was amazing
You mentioned people complained about the videos being a bit lengthy because of the amount of detail you go into in certain areas. Maybe you could consider two different series. One could be "Engine Building Part 9: Intake Manifold Installation" and a parallel series "Engine Theory Part 9: Intake Manifold Theory" I enjoy the theory discussions and the detail you go into on some of the things. If you're looking to produce more content I would enjoy watching theory discussions.
That's a great idea, thanks for the input Jack
This series is invaluable! I'm working on a project involving an engine built 20+ years ago by someone else. I've rebuilt several engines back to stock specifications but this is my first dive into modification. Its a CSB 400 with aluminium heads and a Corvette Tuned Port Injection manifold. I plan on putting it into a Jeep TJ for a trail devoted rig. My plan is to disassemble, measure, and identify all the components then treat it, like you suggest, as a plan for a total build. That way I can make decisions, based on the intended purpose, as to whether or not the components are appropriate. Thanks to you, I have a way to identify the cam and combustion chamber specifics. This video leaves me with more questions. Is there a way to discern performance specifics on the existing manifold, i.e. flow bench, water displacement measurement, existing data on a stock TPI? Thank you again. As many have said, this is truly a service to the car community and is VERY appreciated!
Thank you Jon. Great name! That was my grandfathers name as well. You could probably look up the volume and data on the existing. Gotta be a way to find out. If it is plastic and you are not building too radical my guess it that it would be sufficient
@@PetesGarage Thanks for the reply Peter! I know this is an old video. The intake manifold in question is GM's "Tuned Port Injection" fuel injection system from the 80's. It came off a 350 Corvette motor. Its a really neat system with a center plenum and long runners that cross over each other and run to the opposite side of the motor. Its a work of art in my opinion, beautiful lines and curves. This motor was a drag racing build so the fuel control system is rudimentary at best and I'm sure I will need to source something more modern to handle an off-road application. I'm just looking for information that will help me decide if that intake manifold is appropriate for the rest of the build. Thank you again! I really appreciate you taking the time to help out the less experienced, lol.
Pete, I was somewhat surprised that you said you were going to sandblast this manifold. The first thing that came to mind was what you said about not blasting an oil pan because one little part could cause your engine to fail. I do not mean to cause any problems but I am having a hard time telling what the difference is. Could you explain the difference to me? Thanks my friend, I love your videos so please keep them coming !!!!!!
A manifold is different because you can see and clean ever passage. And if by chance a particle gets sucked in, it will get tossed right out the exhaust. If it's in the oil pan it could go through the lubrication system and cause major damage
@@PetesGarage Thanks Pete !!!!! You do great work and I really appreciate you explaining this to me and especially for all the info you give us on how to rebuild an engine. Thanks my friend !!!!!!
Thanks Dwight
