You have mixed up the oil inlet and outlet on the turbo. Take this to heart when you connect it all up and your turbo will last longer than 30 seconds :)
I've been watching for a few months and loved all your progress but this build is evolving beyond my comfort zone and my wallet. I'm never going to put a turbo on my build. I will still watch every episode but not as enthusiastically. Give me a carburetor and a set of points and I will get home. If any one of your sensors fails, Your walking! So no longer an apocalypse vehicle. I will wave as I pass you on the road at 47 MPH driving my 212, No promisses on not taking your food and women.
I totally understand the apprehension toward the fuel injection and the turbocharger. These additions are not really necessary because the car is more or less fine without them. These mods are being done to explore the possibilities of modern power adders. The alternative is of course carburetor jets and offset crankshaft keys. both being very affordable, but we have already done these mods before on the 212cc engine. Anyway, if you pass me on the side of the road with your 212cc rig, at least wave.
I bet if you combined Water-Methanol Injection and Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation, you'd get both more power *and* more fuel efficiency. Not to mention cleaner emissions. A win/win/win!
Two things: A) 40 years ago, it took automakers hundreds of millions of dollars to design/engineer/build rudimentary TB FI. Now? Hey, lookit this cool FI kit I got on ebay for a price less than a few six packs of craft beer! Amazing. Which leads to... B) Yeah. This FI is designed to work on a wringer washer but I can make it work on the 420 Hemi. Really? I still sweat blood changing/rewiring an updated power window module. And, don't even get me started on the turbski that was left in the dryer too long... To this old man, very impressive, indeed! :)
The second flange you pointed out is the one you want to use if you're going to utilize the internal wastegate. The flange with just a hole is for if you're not using a wastegate, or if you're using an external wastegate.
Very much enjoying the videos. The part I’m finding the most interesting is that you are getting better mpg than most modern cars via a harbor fright engine.
Sir I feel I should warn you. There are snails crawling all over your cement mixer. We've already called the OSHA compliance officer. Please stay on site.
Your fuel pressure reg, JB weld a fitting to that small hole in the metal can, connect it to a boost source and voila, now the regulator is boost referenced. try not to connect it to a vacuum source.
The unknown adapter is probably the one you want to use that gives enough volume for the wastegate to dump exhaust pressure into... and it's the stickers that add the 10hp!! You're a sick pup, I appreciate your efforts here. :)
The unknown flange is for the exhaust discharge if you’re running the internal waste gate. If you use the other one, it’ll likely block off the waste gate and cause boost creep
That turbo also came on the late 1980’s Chevy Sprint Turbo. For those that don’t know, that was a rebadged Geo Metro/Pontiac Firefly. On that motor(1.0L 3 cylinder) the turbo was actually on the small side. For the 420cc motor, it should work great!!! That turbo does not have positive oil bearing seals so if you ever try to do a draw through setup(an easy setup with a carb) then it will quickly start puking oil out of the compressor, which would then get sucked into the engine. Just a little FYI! The fuel injection setup fixes that problem.
The Chevy Sprint Turbo utilized multi port fuel injection instead of throttle body injection on the Metro. So the intake manifold was completely different. If you ever look closely at the cylinder head on the standard 1.0L 3 cylinder you will see flat spots on the intake side of the cylinder head just above the intake ports. This is where the fuel injectors were mounted on the turbo motor. I’ve read about people running a few PSI of boost on the stock 1.0L motor with only supporting fuel and ignition modifications with good success.
I believe the second exhaust flange you mentioned to be used if you're using the internal Wastegate. The flange you first mentioned will most likely boost creep if you're trying to use the internal WG.
One of the things that fascinates me about this project is that there are manufacturers making go fast parts for these little, relatively crappy engines. What real world use is there for a turbo charger for a 420cc engine? Even fuel injection is a bit of a reach. Just glad the parts exist so we can seem them played with and explored on the Go Cart.
We just got done shooting the EFI bench test video, it has a lot of detail and I think you will like it. The video should be released sunday or monday, stay tuned!
No better way to learn about efi wide band and turbo as well as the wiring as well as hall effect sensors than with a small? Motor... Thanks and all the best Mr Cantina. You're the best.
I just gotta say, im so on board with this and I cant wait to see how it turns out. I was giggling like a school kid at the thought of a 'built' bottom end for this thing lmao
Funny, I actually put this exact turbo on my honda insight! Sadly it was too small for the stock 1,000cc engine, so now there is a GT1241 on it. Anyway, that other, bigger holed flange is for if you are running it to the point the wastegate opens all the way(on the larger end of the engine size). If you use the 1.5inch oulet instead of the full outlet, the wastegate will rattle on the flange, won't be able to open all the way, and you will get boost creep.
The only time I’ve seen people successfully turbo one of these smaller engines has been with one of these EBay kits. The ECU was able to run a wide band O2 and a 1 Bar MAP, if I recall. Those weldable turbo flanges you had a question about were meant to be stacked, the flat one gets and exhaust pipe and the outer perimeter one goes between it and the turbo.
That looks just like a YZ450F ecu! The turbo you have looks along the same lines of a GT15 frame size. You’d be very surprised on how big of a turbo you can run on the 400cc single cylinder engines! Due to the “‘on-off-on-off” again nature of the exhaust flow (only 1 exhaust stroke per 720*’) it creates a violent exhaust pulse which has a ‘thrusting’ effect on the turbine wheel. That thrusting effect acts similar to the principle of an Anti-lag feature in a sense. It greatly helps spool a larger turbo On a turbo single cylinder. A multi cylinder engine doesn’t experience this because there is always an opposing cylinder exhausting after the other one hasBegan the intake stroke. It’s a much more linear, continuous exhaust flowrate. I inially started with the same turbo that you just purchased on a 450cc dirt bike. The turbine wheel was way too small And acted as a huge restriction on the engine. It didn’t want to rev at all. I ended up going back to the drawing board and started researching the Ford eco-boost turbos and ended up finding the perfect match for my application. I had to do a ton of modification on the turbine housing in order to get everything to package well Because I didn’t want to change the overall ergonomics or handling of the bike. I I’m still in the testing phase and just about have the kit complete and it’s working awesome! Even converted it over to E85!. i’m documenting it on my channel. Hope this helps!
Just found you and bingeing all the vids, love them! Unless someone has already mentioned it I would ditch the tensioner and just adjust slackto the required amount of run you have, probably about 12mm or 1/2". Good enough for 200hp superbikes! of slack for the run you have
Looking forward to these modifications, if it's not too much work, it would be super interesting to see a dyno comparison between the fuel injection system and the carburetor. I know it should be more efficient and make more power, but I've always been curious as to how much of a difference it is and this seems like the perfect time to make a comparison with that being the only variable
Good ol’ Ecotrons system eh? Not sure if they’ve updated their since a couple years ago, but it was way, way less friendly than something like Tunerstudio. Managed to get an SAE car going, but once we switched to Speeduino, life got way better. They’re a decent, convenient kit though for converting to EFI. Hardware wise.
The "x" ring chain refers to the X cross sectional area of the o ring material compared to most competitors O cross section. X ring claims better durability due to improved lube retention and less power loss. The Honda build is really getting interesting now. Cant wait!
You really need a billet flywheel from go power sports. the stock flywheel in the 420s or any of these predator motors will blow apart at constant high RPM. From what I hear you shouldn't be running a stock flywheel above 3500 RPMs. The billet flywheels you can run the RPMs up as high as high as the engine will go. Also if you're running a turbo you should probably put a bigger cam and stronger valve springs in too. I've built these predator engines up quite a few times and I don't recommend running more than 5 to 7 lb boost without o-ringing the cylinder head. also if any of you are going to be running a turbocharger on a carburetor the best way to do it is with the carburetor on the intake of the turbo with a fuel injector dump just after the carburetor for when you go to full throttle so there's no fuel lag/hesitation, but if you run the turbo on top of the carburetor your fuel pressure coming out of your fuel pump has to be twice as much then what boost is coming out of the turbo. That way the boost from the turbo doesn't push the fuel out of the carburetor. Love your videos this is freaking awesome! Can't wait to see what happens. I've always wanted to do something like this.
Some things I've noticed. Hope this helps. 1. You had the oil inlet/outlets reversed. 2. The extra weldable flanges are both exhaust outlet flanges. One is "bellmouth" for provided internal wastegate. The other is for utilizing an external wastegate and it blocks off the internal wastegate port. Hope this helps. I've been working in depth with turbos for a long time.
@@robotcantina8957 no problem at all. Is that actuator replacable for one with a softer spring? To bad it's not modular so you can just swap it's spring like say a tial wastegate.
Dude, I seriously cannot wait to see how that EFI setup works out, AND with the turbo! You'll be able to get onto the major thoroughfares after this lol!
Absolutely crazy and fun build I actually have plans from the '60's hat used a 5 hp engine in a small car..(Not honda, I think..) with a brushed DC motor to get 100mpg.. NOW, I want o find those plans and maybe try to build t with a few modern mods. Can you find it in your heart to post a few arts links?? Shore would be appreciated..
MOAR! Hey! So I just got a 995CC V-twin from a generator. Ran on propane. I also have a 1.9TDI Borg warner turbo as well. Not going to put it into a car, maybe a mini sand rail. Need to convert from propane to single or twin carburetor, and then I'd like to figure out the compression ratio. Turbo should work size wise with a draw through carburetor setup.
This is the Go kart project who's progress I look forward to the most. With an EFI kit this EMP proof engine is no longer EMP proof I am not a huge fan of adding a turbocharger to a single cylinder engine. It can be done but I am not that interested in it. Superchargers are more interesting but only by a bit.
Dont tell anyone, but I'll probably go ahead and use AMR300 supercharger instead of the turbo. Anyway I totally get how some folks don't necessarily like the EFI. but for the purposes of making youtube content, this is the direction the project will take. I want to be different than other channels.
Don't forget to add some ring gap while you have the new engine apart. with the continuous high load/ low airflow conditions this engine will be living in (plus adding boost) you don't want to take a chance on the gap closing up and locking up the engine (or destroying it).
Make sure you either reference your fuel pressure to boost pressure or otherwise account for your max boost/fuel requirements when setting static pressure. And run the numbers on the injector vs pressure flow requirements.
Yes different exhaust flange for different applications or sometimes the wastegaste doesn’t open right with the smaller flange and the other one works better in that case
I never thought I would say this, but the words "Fuel injected turbo charged cement mixer engine" have gotten me unreasonably excited
This man says “should be easy enough” to eBay turboing his harbor freight powered Honda Insight. God bless your soul. I’m fully invested.
If you watch long enough he ends up putting in a 1000cc 3 cylinder with electric motor assist!
That would just be crazy, nobody would ever put that kind of setup in an Insight

I believe the second exhaust flange you mentioned to be used if you're using the internal Wastegate. The flange you first mentioned will most likely boost creep if you're trying to use the internal WG.
Both flanges should be used to allow the wastegate valve to work properly. If only the smooth plate is used, the wastgate valve cannot open properly.

The turbo shows it's head along with FU for more power.......Nice to see upgrades to keep things going along.
for the intercooler use the biggest radiator you can fit
It would be interesting to find if the 212 can match performance with the stock 420 after an assortment of power adders, turbo, etc..
So ready for the next video
This is like RCR meets AvE and I LOVE IT.
think you need to stack the turbo plange on top of the other flange you didnt knew the reason for , its needed to clear the wastegate on the turbo
This is my favorite build in a decade.
I recommend you go to gopowersports and get a billet bottom end performance valve springs if you want it to last. But I like what I see so far.
I am super excited to see how you do the fuel injection...This is such a good series!
This is one of my most favorite builds on UA-cam. It is well thought out and done well. 👍👍
Have you seen the latest video from ROBOT CANTINA? Diesel engine into the Saturn?
You definitely need fuel injection kit for the turbo on a single cylinder to make usable boost.
That is a exhaust flang for if your not running the internal wastgate on the turbo and blocks off the hole that lets exhaust around the turbo turbine.
Looking forward to these modifications, if it's not too much work, it would be super interesting to see a dyno comparison between the fuel injection system and the carburetor. I know it should be more efficient and make more power, but I've always been curious as to how much of a difference it is and this seems like the perfect time to make a comparison with that being the only variable

You really need a billet flywheel from go power sports. the stock flywheel in the 420s or any of these predator motors will blow apart at constant high RPM. From what I hear you shouldn't be running a stock flywheel above 3500 RPMs. The billet flywheels you can run the RPMs up as high as high as the engine will go. Also if you're running a turbo you should probably put a bigger cam and stronger valve springs in too. I've built these predator engines up quite a few times and I don't recommend running more than 5 to 7 lb boost without o-ringing the cylinder head. also if any of you are going to be running a turbocharger on a carburetor the best way to do it is with the carburetor on the intake of the turbo with a fuel injector dump just after the carburetor for when you go to full throttle so there's no fuel lag/hesitation, but if you run the turbo on top of the carburetor your fuel pressure coming out of your fuel pump has to be twice as much then what boost is coming out of the turbo. That way the boost from the turbo doesn't push the fuel out of the carburetor. Love your videos this is freaking awesome! Can't wait to see what happens. I've always wanted to do something like this.

I love it pal. I just subscribed. Little jokey though. Otherwise keep it up. Your knowledge seems to stand up
Yes different exhaust flange for different applications or sometimes the wastegaste doesn’t open right with the smaller flange and the other one works better in that case
I've been with you ever since the first video.. Keep it up.. this is so entertaining
