1/4 Scale V8 Model Engine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- This is the new KPL 632 fully functioning 1/4 scale model engine. It runs on regular pump gas, has spark ignition, wet sump pressurized oiling, & water cooling. It is the only gasoline model engine on the market that is based on an American V8 with single centerline cam and pushrod driven valve train that is also made in the USA. Check out KPLPerformance.com for more details.
Unlike others I've seen, this thing looks like it's meant to run reliably. Pretty freakin cool.
all i know is when i have a son he is going to have the most bad ass power wheels out there
Wanna see more along with a demo of installed in a Rc car.
That's beautiful finally a real gas small engine great job thanks
That looks awesome. Finally a real true 1/4 scale. Love the dedication that went into this That’s a lot of work. I can appreciate the details that went into this.
That's about the best sounding one iv heard but would liked to hear a higher rpm
Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah at over 12grand for a 1/4 scale engine is pricey but i can understand the time and effort in the little beast
way too pricey. especially when you can get a full size crate motor RTR for half the price.
@@renaissanceman5847or a pretty nice car for 12k
@@renaissanceman5847 That's what small volume machining costs. It's pricey to be sure, but not unreasonably so.
Man i wouldn't care how long it take at the end of the day a machine making these parts these are in no way shape or farm worth 12k. You a true idiot spending that on this an u can get 2 real cars with engines in them for 12k. It would be run but everyone who makes these just ruin it price gouging
Lol really a crate engine?! Maybe a rebuilt one@renaissanceman5847
Definitely one to look out for in future, subscribed!
That is fantastic bro!! Definitely ❤ that engine and how that carb and intake looks. Juat like the real thing
Espero que su canal siga creciendo y sigan haciendo muchos mas videos, estaré al espera de mas contenido de ustedes, amo los motores a escala y ver el funcionamiento de estos.......❤amo los motores
It's a very beautiful engine.
Only $12,475 without the run stand, so about 4 times the price of the real thing. What a bargain.
Thats nice. Just think how fun the full sized ones are
Well that's the coolest thing I have ever seen
Outstanding! 👍🏻
That is super cool! 🇨🇦👍🏼
Wow the imagination just runs wild with the what ifs...🤯🤑😎
Drink a beer every time he says "billet". So many people think "billet" is a type of aluminum. It is a component manufactured from a single block of METAL!!!! No welding!!! Also, it was a domestic living quarters for a soldier. LOL
Wow you are blowing away the Chinese engines I can’t believe how nice this engine is
Hey mate motor looks amazing, you need to do some more videos and advertising for it so people can understand the price of 12k US. Keen to see the supercharger when it’s finished
Its nothing he can do or say to make people understand 12k its not worth it because a machine producing them. If most of the work was done by hand then people would understand a little bit but this day in age a cnc mashine making every part of that engine. These should be 2k at the most no real work goes into making these
Sir, don't listen to any of the ridiculous negative coments, they mean nothing.
You are obviously a very talented individual in design and execution.
Your CNC machining talent is also next level.
It always costs more to make things smaller in small quantities.
That Conley motor was a fragile piece of junk next to what you designed and built.
People like myself with money only want the best, if it was cheap it would be worthless.
Keep building the best products you can and you will be successful.
That's what i did. Always buy the best, you'll never be disappointed !
I am a future customer.
Just a suggestion, you should use Evans waterless coolant. Conventional antifreeze will eat away at the aluminum.
I always use Evans in my $50K plus hot rod motors, it is a far superior product, you should be using it also.
Sincerely
FH
Thank you for the positive comments, and also for the suggestion of Evans coolant.
Theoretically it's capable of 100+ hp.
That's not how the math works. 1/4 scale means 1" bore and 1" stroke, or 0.79 cu in/cyl, or 6.32 cu in total -- hence the name of the motor. At 1.0 HP/cu in, one should expect about 6 HP from this motor. Speaking of which, I would like to know what this thing actually turns on the dyno.
Why not rev it a little higher. People need to see the RPMs. Aside from that great looking engine.
Because he knows it’s gonna throw a rod. 😂
Engine life is related to the vibration that rpms cause
@@richardbaker_0086probably not.
Just sending an engine to the moon with no load is bad.
Brilliant
Looks like a Holley carb!
Also need a 4 speed manual!
Perfect show top beautiful
Is the 632 for 63.2 ccs?
Also excellent work that is a very well made little motor, with amazing attention to functional realistic detail!
The 632 is for 6.32 cubic inch
@@KPLPerformance Oh yeah I shoulda known.
That's a nice touch, having the size in cubic inches like a real motor.
Thanks for getting back to me you'd be surprised how much of a rarity that is!
13k, nice but not that nice. Also your website colors are against every rule in the book. But it is awesome and thank you. Sorry I had to start off all negative, but take it as you will.
I cannot wait to see more
12.5k yankee dollar. Lovely engine. What can i buy in full scale for that amount?
🟥 Incredible engineering. Now... How about a full size version? 🟥
INCREDIBLE and worth every bit of $12,475.
Do you have one ? Because that’s a lot of money on scale motor, i also work in manufacturing using CNC mills and lathe machines
This thing is awesome, but since it’s modeled after a big block Chevy the lightning whirled should probably be in the back
What is the displacement, hp, torque, and cost of this particular setup? I'm curious as to the intended use of this engine as well. Are replacement parts available? Are all the multiple components interchangeable (pistons, rods, valves, springs, etc.)? Are there high performance upgrades available (higher compression pistons, bigger camshafts, bigger carbs, etc.)?
Overall, a very cool setup. Good luck in the future with your endeavors. 👍🇺🇸
1/4 scale means 1" bore and 1" stroke, or 6.32 cu in. At 1 HP/cu in that would be about 6 HP. The intended performance upgrade is a supercharger.
As for displacement @rockets4kids answered you perfectly, it is 6.32 cu in. or about 103cc. The supercharger will be available soon, but at this time I am not making any other upgraded parts. For your interchangeable question, yes all the parts are identical when they are made but once the valves have been lapped in there respective seat you wouldn't want to switch them around same for the pistons with the rings being run in ect. For use a 1/4 scale RC car or boat or just on the display/run stand to show people.
what is the intended use case for this? is it powerful enough to be put in a gokart? a supercharged mini hotrod would be perfect.
At 12k for the engine and $20k for the full rig I'm guessing this is for (1) demonstration purposes or (2) people who can afford a very expensive toy.
@@rockets4kids
Or they have a ¼th size car.
@@dukecraig2402 That would fall in to the category of very expensive toys.
Radio control cars or r/c boats. I do r/c jets with functional turbines.
Put that thing in a old school Peddle car . Lol , maybe remote control .
Two-speed automatic, eh? Ya know what? Chevy wants its Powerglide transmission back!
Incidentally, that was not a bad transmission for around-town driving.
I just bought a 525 horsepower Gen 4 LS3 6.2
for what this costs.
Yea but will it fit in a ¼th scale car?
This will, after it drives around in circles about 50 circus clowns get out of it.
That's because this is a completely hand-built engine.
12k for this engine is so much😢 I wish I could afford it. It’s so beautiful
Scale is confusing to me. This is 1/4 scale, but is this really one fourth the size of a full size V8? Seems *WAY* smaller than that, like more like 1/16 scale or even smaller. Anyway, very cool engine!
Well if you think about a full scale engine having a 4" cylinder bore my engines bore is 1", full scale blocks are about 24" long my engines block is roughly 6" long, full scale header primary tubes are 2" in dia, mine are 1/2" in dia., ect. Every part may not be exactly 1/4 scale but very close.
No explanation of the ignition? Is it magneto driven or battery voltage?
I'm currently using a single cylinder CDI ignition box that runs off a 2s lipo battery
Could it be used with a vertical shaft to power a lawn mower?
The engine needs to stay horizontal for proper oil return to the pan, you would need some sort of 90 deg gearbox to make a vertical shaft work.
Is the power output quarter scale too?
1/4 scale means 1" bore and 1" stroke, or 0.79 cu in/cyl, or 6.32 cu in total -- hence the name of the motor. At 1.0 HP/cu in, one should expect about 6 HP from this motor.
Even has a authentic price of $12,000 then the stand is $1800
It cost about 5 grand, definitely cool if you’ve got the cash!
It says $12,475 on their website...
Can’t find the website
It's newly listed so you need to type the entire address including the .com, Kplperformance.com
Go cart engine?
If you can afford a 12k go cart engine, absolutely!
12 thousand dollars!!!! No thanks. I will go full scale.
No shit!!! It's always infuriating when they charge a premium for what AIN'T there.
I understand R'nD, machining, supply & demand & all that bullshit, but $12k?... Yeah... hell no.
This one is going to be easier to re-build in your living room.
How much horsepower does it produce?
I don't really know, haven't found a small engine dyno to check it.
@@KPLPerformance i'd be willing to bet it's pretty torquey like most V8 engines are
@@KPLPerformance It wouldn't be too challenging to build one. A load transducer or a fish scale on a one-foot lever secured to a disc brake caliper, for example. Offset the R&D cost by dyno-ing small engines for people.
Make a heck of powerful weed Wacker
12 grand American are you joking. Does it come with spare parts and a mini mechanic in the box. For that price it better come with 10 more perks One being gold plated
Someone make a ls1 model
12k$ I understand the time and effort and also the intelligent decisions on the construction but for 6k you buy a hellcat or corvette engine v8
How much is a unit?
Over $12k
Should be 1/4 price
Capacity?
If you mean displacement, it is 6.32 cubic inches or roughly 103 CC's
Does not include run stand. For 12 grand they should throw that in for free.
I guess you could put 4 of them in a car?…..or hook the exhaust up to a gas mask…😅
$18,100 for engine, transmission and stand?!? WTF are you supposed to do with it? Is there even an application for this engine?
How much is it?
Over $12k
Wow. 13,000$!! I can build a serious LS engine for that. Lol. But I see why it cost that much.
Ok. Let's do this:
$12.4K for the engine;
$1,875 for the run stand;
$3,750 for the transmission (which isn't available until June 2024); and
$3,525 for the supercharger (available Jan. 2024).
If your interested in ordering an engine please contact me through my email Leok@kplperformance.com, thanks
😂😂 right
Dear sir tip in Junior Model Chevy V 8 Phillip it sounds like a real V8 it has a big cam in it lopes like a real V8 and has big Pistons like a weed wacker but no dome low compression a blower on it
We want sustained high rpm!
Buy one
Went on your web site & clicked on ordering & lead times & nothing happened.
There is no direct link to order because these are custom built with limited availability. That is why the order tab refers you to my email to request current lead time and if your interested in purchasing, I can add you to my order list and reach out to you when your engine build is ready to start.
@@KPLPerformance 10-4. Thanks
Nice machining and all that, but TOTALLY USELESS for anything but gathering dust on a shelf in the toycave.
almost 13,000 dollars wow thats ass
Toys for people with that FU money...
I understand its half scale an all that but the prices are just idiotic to the point where your a fool if you spend that kinda money on a toy. I can see 1 or 2k but 12k is crazy
That’s one heck of a toy…..or is it 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂
12000
Sorry, for 12,000+ dollars I'd have to have a real use for it.
✔️ *Promosm*
Fit it into a motorcycle
That is not 1/4 scale , not even 1/3 scale
12K FOR MOTOR? id rather take on drugs for a hobby.
The hobby is designing and building the thing. $12k is how you fund your hobby.
WTF would anyone purchase that? That won’t power a Big Wheel
I estimate this thing will put out about 6 HP. That'll make your Big Wheel go decently well.
it sounds awful guy. it looks awesome, but the sound is all wrong and that ruins the aesthetic. short of being able to start one of these model engines the next most important thing is how it sounds. the internal technicalities are kinda by the way really once its running. then there's the cost I can absolutely say if this thing is 5 grand it had better sound good. I don't know the price, but I'd be surprised if I'm wrong.
It still sounds like a toy, not realistic enough
Go Cart Massage
I wish it had a bigger Cam so it would be radical And I wish I had one Refreshing it How much does this engine cost
I wish it had a bigger camera so to be radical Is how much does this engine cost
Check out KPLperformance.com for pricing of each option.
12 grand lol. WTF you guys smokin over there?
See if you can build one yourself for less.
Low compression
That's likely because the maker is intending to add a supercharger.
