Found this channel as a suggestion on UA-cam and have watched every episode of the engine build for the last 3 months very quality detail and simply good job on level with AVE when explaining things in layman's terms.
@@robotcantina8957 I'll be moving not from you later this year. I hope to see some of your cars on the road! Chances are good you'll see and recognize some of mine, even if you don't know they're mine. ;)
You have such an extensive collection of oddball tools and custom made tools and things of that nature in your garage. I don't know how you fit it all in. It's more like a mad scientist's lab lol. Pretty awesome.
I run dyno cells at Cummins in Columbus IN. That's awesome you built your own. Interesting miata build, I will have to look up the old build threads. I built up a turbo miata for street and track use. Sometimes an electronics background would be useful! I am fine with engine builds, but trying to replace a MAP sensor on a circuit board is a challenge. Looking forward to the next vid.
He's getting bad about telling you how things work for 15 minutes and not actually accomplishing anything. I get these things take time, and editing slows it down, but id settlw for biweekly uploads or less detail to get things moving along again
The thing is, If I don't explain stuff I get a bunch of stupid comments from people telling me how to build this thing. I'm trying to figure out how much info I need to give. There are going to be videos like this where we talk about parts... just so most of the audience is on the same page.
@@robotcantina8957 I get that. Unfortunately you're gonna get stupid comments no matter what you do, from myself even. I just mean theres a noticable difference between the first 15 episodes and the last 10. I'm all for high level details, and I do appreciate the how thoroughly you explain things. I just wanna see this thing run again. So for me personally, I wouldn't mind missing some of the high level details in order to see the oil cooler and speeduino be one video for example. Just my unsolicited $.02
Continuing to really enjoy this. I'll admit wholeheartedly that you've reached a point where I understand less than 50% of the info. Says a alot though, for the way you present, that I still wanna watch it 👍😊
Nice - I'm in the process of putting a Speeduino ECU on my 1970 VW beetle. Got most of the wiring done last night. Looks like you're using a lot of the same parts sourcing as I am - the same exact 36-1 Ford crank trigger wheel, Got a UA4C from WMTronics, and definitely found JRready connectors in my hunt for reasonably priced connectors. Looking forward to seeing both our projects running!
To be honest, even if all the things exploded prematurely from misuse or just failed to work properly because of bad designs I would still watch this series. The fact that you know enough about it to teach how it works makes it even better though.
The only electronics I've dabbled in was an lm386 audio amplifier powered guitar amp that fits into a cigarette box that can also power a 200w cabinet for 2 minutes
Love your videos. You must have read my mind because i thought a 600cc v twin efi turbo would be perfect for this project. I really appreciate how you are iterating every step and working your way up. thats how you learn about what works and what doesnt. Helps with system principles. ive done a lot of efi conversions and this series is hitting all the major points. Gear ratio, aero, displacement, fuel delivery. You might consider using the grille to feed the cooling blower via some sheet metal and louver the hood for exhaust of hot engine bay air. Could help with temps.
I don't know about you guys but this channel alone should be way further up on the popularity scale than what it is. I get that 67,000 subscribers is pretty damn good but needs to be more like 67 million! Anyone with any kind of mechanical / engineering background will know exactly where I'm coming from by making a statement! I wish him the best of love because he damn sure deserve it the guy's a genius!
Mad respect for the cube PC and the METAL at 5:22 Oh the dyno is pretty neat too. Also, going back to the PWM controlled fuel pump\pressure, there are fuel pressure (ford) that have a tap for vacuum\boost.
I would be watching Vice Grip and his Oldsmobiles, Snowmobiles, and Sparkolator Tips, but I am watching you. ;-) I can't get here from there. (Oh, you must mean the "Old Same Place". Park out back. Here are the keys).
I think the supercharger will work nicely, considering most small engines are low compression to begin with. I suspect an intercooler will be added, once the 1st overheat occurs. Mind your thermodynamics!
Kid Rock....ur......ROCKS! I like The Kid because he lives 1/2 his time down here in Tennessee (IE: God's Country). Very informative about the electronic controller building. Not very exciting on the getting the car rolling part. All together I will rate the video a solid 8. Solely because you made it interesting instead of boring. I guess you Rock a little also. Good Luck, and Good Building!
Interesting. I have a Fiesta with a 1 liter supercharged engine here. The blower blows throught the throttle body instead of pulling air from the throttle body like in some old carbureted systems. To do that, I have like two valves that operates in opposite ways... when the engine throttle closes, the relief valve opens and vice versa. The relief valve got a small spring that still allows the excessive pressure to open it of the throttle position is in half position, which adds some flexibility to the system. At the beginning, I was using a Speeduino, but unfortunately the board had some issue and the spark timing was often off, so... I replaced it by a MegaSquirt MS1, which also uses the Tuner Studio software. I hope this project works, but I guess the 300cc look like more than engine for this smaller engine. The Eaton M24 I'm using on my 1.0L engine is 393cc with a pulley ratio at 2.739:1, which is reaching around 167-169kPa at 6000RPM on the engine. Atmospheric pressure here is around 90kPa. This should give you some idea about the pulley ratio. Good luck! :3
One and a half hour was the last video "will it run?" of VGG hahahaha. Maybe you could get an LS Coil if you want something more reliable (and cheap)? Or a VAG coil (1990-2010) with the ignition module integrated.
Thanks, your clear explanations make me go "Ah Ha! & your dry humor gets a grin & a chuckle! This is fun to watch. I always wondered what the same 420cc Predator, modified with EFI & boost, could do on a light motorcycle. Waiting on the next episode!
So, edit those vids and let us watch that. Hell, I'd chip in a few bucks at Patreon for that! :) Please, go on forever as that is how long it would take me to assemble that PCB... I continue to be in awe... :)
@4:14 Reliably turbocharging an engine is just a matter of setup, regular oil changes and proper care. Don't give it the beans until the heat is on. ;) @4:24 That is not a big picture, just a different engine. :D @4:32 Easy, bro. :D
Another good and cheap option is Spitronics Orion ECU. It will run a 36-1 trigger wheel as well, comes with whichever bar map sensor you need, 2.5 is default and you can get it with a basic loom that you just need to install the connectors on for about $350-$400. The ECU by itself is $220 plus about $60 to ship it since it comes from South Africa if you want to make your own custom loom, you can easily just get the ECU itself as it has standard connectors on the ECU. I got a plug and play one for a 1UZFE engine for $550. It also has the igniters built in to drive the coils. There is a step higher version for a bit more that will do quite a bit more. Bit easier for those with poor soldering skills. Decent software for tuning it as well. It will run distributors, wasted spark or coil on plugs. Nice vids!
Somewhere a Ford Expedition is missing an ignition coil. The sacrifices one must make to get a Honda to go faster! 😁 Kid Rock? Think Motor City madman! Uncle Ted rules!
lol. "Danger to manifold!" That goes way back!
Where's the nos though?
Dominic Toretto: Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning. Charly sheen: orly?
I have that on the background to the touchscreen computer mounted in my truck for tuning the holley efi.

Now I want to know more about the Miata build.
Google "B3 Miata fujioko"
I thought he said "Putin's Fab Shop" and thought it was a hilarious reference to Garage 54 😂😂😂 Kind of sad when I realized he said "Puddin's"
lmao same
We need to get these two together, imagine a lada with a Soyuz engine built with parts bought from ali express😏
OMG you too!
gotta love those knuckle-heads tho, they'll try anything!
So I wasn't the only one expecting a Putin look alike assembling some type of badazzed Russian apocalyptic type vehicle in a garage?
