      Yeah, well, kinda.
      Most shows on youtube that are supposedly scientific basically don't tell you shit. Steph at least shows you the whole process of the build, which is great, but he doesn't show you the designs process, calculations, tuning, etc. The good thing is that this kind of content is understandable for everyone (even outsiders to tuning) and it's still nice to watch even if you're into tuning yourself. This is valuable content, I like it. But still I think he isn't sharing a lot of knowledge with us in terms of specific details. Why? Because I have seen how generously Russian youtubers share their knowledge. _"So I have ported the intake to 26mm diameter, at the valve guides it's 27mm, where the ports come together it's ported to 37mm, I only polished the top side because the bottom side has will have slow separation and therefore a rough surface is preferred"_

      ​@@kiyoponnn It depends on your business model. And sharing info actually makes a ton of sense in quite some cases.
      If you are open and honest about your setup, then most people will think: _"hey, looks like you know what ya doing, can you tune my car"._ Such a honest approach and open attitude can bring in a lot of customers.
      In practise it's the charlatans and noobs who don't want anyone to see how they get their job done, because they're bad at it.
      And then there is the difference between knowing what should be done and actually having talent doing it. Telling someone how it should be done doesn't mean he will succeed.
      One great example of this in autosports is "Gocha", from the beginning of his career he has been sharing info about his setup _(including precise camber angles)_ with anyone that's interested, dozens of engineers from Europe and Japan have examined and photographed his car; and guess what: he became drifting world champion *again* in 2019.

    Stereolithography. Been doing plastics like that since 1986. That was even more complex: The laser focus was fixed right above the pool of resin and a bed would break the surface and get lased wherever it needed a build up. then it would lower 2-3mm and rise up again (minus the height of 1 layer) with a fresh layer of resin on top of the last layer...lase that layer...on and on and the machine would have to wait for any waves to stop in the tank so it was an overnight process for a few inches but you could build a furnished doll house a layer at a time. Now they are doing it with aluminum powder. That is some one off stuff right there as the cost to 3D print a form for a custom AL casting would be cheaper and maybe just as fast if you had the production nearby waiting for the part.

    Fun fact: I’m currently working on a project at my university that’s looking at speeding up the build time of those 3D printers by increasing the thickness of each layer. The only issue is that increasing the layer thickness could introduce porosity which would lead to mechanical deficiencies. It’s really cool and I’m really happy with the exposure this kind of printing has been getting recently.

    • @soaringvulture
      @soaringvulture 5 років тому +1

      It was by 1980 - I remember because I was working in the business hub of Toronto for a mining company that makes fine metal powders like nickel and cobalt for tech leaders like GE's jet engine division. In our office tower there was an architectural firm that was modeling proposed projects, i.e. those miniatures of office towers you'd see in lobbies. They had something that would lay a non-metallic powder and follow that with an adhesive to bond it where desired, then go up a level and repeat, etc. I thought it was a nutty way to make a model but who's to judge.
      That would be the grand daddy inception of powder deposition.
      Early 90's I paid $625 for a Creative Labs 3X speed CD writer to be able to tell customers we could burn CDs for them. Slow as molasses but the first on the block. I paid over $300 for my first DVD burner a few years later (~1995) and it wasn't even 5X write speed.

    • @Hydrazine1000
      @Hydrazine1000 5 років тому

      No, it's not sintering anymore. More than a decade ago or so, 3D powder metal printers would rely on SLS, Selective Laser Sintering. With the advance of optics and increase in laser power machines moved to SLM, selective Laser Melting. As mentioned elsewhere, modern machines can still do sintering when porous parts are required (say, filters).
      The difference between sintering and melting is that with the former you don't exceed the melting temperature of the powder, the particles just get hot enough to soften and stick/fuse together. You can get up to about 95% density this way. With SLM it is possible to truly melt the powder and get to 99.95% density.

      What is your evidence that it's weaker? SLS metal parts are similar in strength to billet. They're weaker than forged, but the process is much cheaper than forging and allows for significantly higher design complexity without an increase in cost. Sounds like you're pulling things out your ass to me.

    Wow, I have huge respect for your knowledge and capabilities. You are right up my alley as far as the quest for engine building and design knowledge through all types of racing and all types of engines. 1000bhp is a very impressive number for a production based motor. The only itch I have is with the amount of money that is invested to obtain these results. I am sure that with the considerable resources put at your disposal, similar results could be had with a lot of other production based engines from different manufacturers which sort of takes away some of the glory that Toyota or BMW would like to earn as a result of this build. With that being said, I will continue watching your videos with great admiration. Thank you.

    • @Shakzey
      @Shakzey 5 років тому

      In this application maybe not a significant gain.
      The fundamental benefits of 3D printing is the ability to print parts that are physically impossible to machine otherwise (think of a complex lattice internal structure). Another benefit is the weight savings without a loss in structural integrity (maybe even an increase in structural integrity) that can be made from using clever designs such as the lattice structure.

    "a cast piece" not "a casted piece" it's called sintering not "welding the powder together" this technique is referred to as "SLS" Selective Laser Sintering. You forgot to mention that the sintered piece is "baked" to strenghten the bonds of the sintered material. very enjoyable to see this content. Thank you for bringing it to us.

    • @Hydrazine1000
      @Hydrazine1000 5 років тому +2

      This is not Selective Laser Sintering. SLS was something of about a decade ago. Laser power has increased over the years, and so has the quality of the optics. The result is machines that really do Selective Laser Melting (SLM) to 99.95% volume density.
      Modern machines can still do SLS, if the specific goal is to make porous parts (say, filters) but all modern machines do SLM now. And that's really melting the powder at microscopic level, no need to sinter afterwards.
      (As an aside, there are also modern 3D printing techniques that do need de-binding and sintering, but those are called binder jetting, where powder is mixed with a plastic/wax/binder and then printed with an extrusion nozzle. The resulting part does need de-binding and sintering. But that's not SLS.)

  • @Dirkietje8

    For this part I understand it if you leave it as be, but for more structural or high load parts you would ideally want to 'cure' the part by subjecting it to isostatic high pressure and heat to consolidate the metal grain and force out any cavities between the metal welding patterns, right?
    For heat subjected objects these cavities could provide more insulation?

    Great process for a one off part. But traditional casting seems much more cost/time effective than a 52hour print time. Expecially if you ever need replacement in the future. And at a cost of 8,000? I wish the video compared the cost and time frame of other processes, either cast or hand bent tube and welded. If you can drill a fuel injector mount, can it be welded on like an exhaust o2 bung?
    Edit: I know someone will say about flow, better flow always results in more power but the gains are much less on the boost side.
