Great work, just needs a stronger oil pump and other set of carburetors. If the turbos make nmany boost, you will loose all power because these aren't blow-through carburetors, they are draw-through. That means they only work on vaccum because Venturi, blow-through on the other hand needs pressurized fuel and a fuel regulator. A simpler way to do it, would be to take those 2 carburetors and put them on the turbo intake, that would solve it. Have a great day

Suck-through carbs can be used in blow through systems but you do need appropriate fuel pump and fuel pressure control. It’s probably easier to use fuel injection.

@@stephenwest2476Time isn’t all about work, time can be about entertainment and learning, he means watching this wasn’t a waste of time in the sense of him enjoying it.
This is awesome. The whole time you were machining I was like, yeah but how are you gonna deal with oil?!? and then cut to a finish shot with an oil pump and host of tubes and connections.
If you want this engine to make any boost you'll need to add a boost reference from ether the turbo intake housing or the charge pipe and connect that the side of the carburettor and the Bottom of the carb. Then ether add another boost reference to the top of the fuel tank if you are using a gravity fuel system. But if you are using a fuel electronic fuel pump you'll need to add a fuel pressure regulator with a 1:1 boost reference.
i thought so, plus dont carburetors have sealing problems under boost? i think a pull through setup would work wayy better, not to mention the sketchy paper test done at the end, it would take alot more than that to snuff a motor i feel
@@flubdorp No a draw through setup is even worse because engine runs like crap and its a pain to tune it also has terrible throttle response. If you properly seal up the carb it won't leak.
@@flubdorp I think he did it to prove that the turbo are connected to the intake of the engine but there not connected properly so you never see any boost.
I wish I was intelligent enough and skilled enough and financially capable of doing a build like this. Listen to how smooth that thing is. Just incredible.
Contrary to popular belief, an intercooler is not strictly necessary. You do still absolutely benefit from the added power of turbos, intercooled or not
Awesome build! I couldn’t tell if you let the penetrating oil sit for long enough or not, but from what it looked like you went straight from applying it to cranking the bolts off. Just know, the longer it sits, the more it’ll break through the rust on those threads and make it so much easier to break them free, and will greatly decrease the risk of breaking the bolt heads off the threads :)
I couldnt stop squinting when he dropped those heads in the lathe after lobbing them up with a wobbly drop saw . This is the most crudely brilliant shit i have ever seen. Absolute genius. Im all for it 👍
I swear this guy has a massive stockpile of those small cam cases for motorbikes. I don't know the exact make but they're in almost every build I see him make.
They're an old Honda design, manufactured by a lot of different companies now. Nearly all small Chinese, Indian, Korean, ECT motorcycle use the same engine.
In a world of electric interest, this is very cool. Nor only did they make a running engine from an abandoned air compressor, but they threw turbos on it too, heck yea!
the altering of the valve rockers to get the right opening and closing duration, just by eye is something that only a few people can imagine and see in their mind's eye,
A work of art. I'm impressed with the simplicity, yet so beautiful end result. I'm imagining a cool little cafe racer bike with this engine in it, most for show, not high performance.
I have autism and my autism level obsession is cars and car related things (engines included, especially high performance engines). This video was extremely fascinating to watch, I never would have even thought this was possible. I am absolutely mind-blown. I love this video. when you pulled out the little half cams, think i was jumping around my computer chair with excitement. that tiny muffler is really awesome. your hand starter is amazing! I really want to know how much HP this makes, how much PSI are those turbo's making, what's the compression ratio... all the details!
Sounds beastly I just wonder how much vibration there is. And how long it will last it doesn’t have an oil pump. For the rotating assembly I love how this guy literally takes anything put a Honda head on it and makes it run
The name of your channel cracks me up, let’s learn something! I learn something every time I watch your videos, I learn that there’s no way in hell i could do this 😂
Love love love those V4's! They're just so underappreciated, and underutilized in the transportation sector. That thing would end up in a "tiny car". A scale version of a real car that's a Go-Kart, made to look like a little Spyker Laviolette! Or a mini jdm car, like an R34 or R32. Like a 1/4-1/3 scale Go-Kart that looks and acts exactly like the vehicle it's modeled after. A Mini Lancia Stratos would be sick too!
I think a bigger oil pump would be a good idea
Very true I saw the oil barely going up the lines myself
Noticed, but once primed. It had a substantial increase on second start....
@@jeanlawson9133 substantial difference, though probably still insufficient for the task.
Preferrably a standalone electric oil pump
Definitely agreed. Even a prestart primer would be great but the oil does seem to move slowly. Maybe fine(?)
I appreciate not adding music or incessant talking over the entire video. Good job.
A LITTLE bit of talking would clear up a few things for those of us not named Smokey Yunick.
Agreed.

Beautiful job, I think it's worth investing in maybe a billet crank with a center bearing and connecting rods, then find something cool and quirky to run it in. But still a work of art as is.❤
This guy makes make it extreme look like a pup. Top effort.
he's also completely silly...... those are turbochargers NOT superchargers... I dont think he knows much about engines
@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk yeah, that's why he build an engine out of rusted junk lol
That has to be the most original burnout I have ever watched!
This is a bodging-together job worthy of Le Dan.
I was a machine operator back in the day this guy is fantastic
Runs better than most Harley's
Any*
@@davidgembe3446 🤣😂
for about an hour
@@theangrycrow3504 XD
That engine sounds amaziongly healthy for having very little design process. I'd give that a 10💯
I did not waste my time following you. I wish you success in the manufacturing field!
What are you doing since you ain't wasting your time you must be building something spectacular
@@stephenwest2476Time isn’t all about work, time can be about entertainment and learning, he means watching this wasn’t a waste of time in the sense of him enjoying it.
@@stephenwest2476 He said it backwards or inside out...
@@Theflowingcurrent I was puzzled too then read your comment to unravel the intended meaning of OP. Reading between the lines.
This is awesome. The whole time you were machining I was like, yeah but how are you gonna deal with oil?!? and then cut to a finish shot with an oil pump and host of tubes and connections.
I just love his builds😄
I definitely wasn’t expecting the twin turbo setup going in, naturally aspirated would have been more than impressive enough.
I'm impressed in spite of myself . Who needs a micrometre when you've got a black marker and a dream !!
Nothing I love more than doing it because you can 😊 Brilliant work
This man should get or make a dyno to test his engines
@@grovecitysirens_GCS The LAST thing he wants is to see them put to the TEST.
its been a while since ive seen something this impressive, subbed for sure
If you want this engine to make any boost you'll need to add a boost reference from ether the turbo intake housing or the charge pipe and connect that the side of the carburettor and the Bottom of the carb. Then ether add another boost reference to the top of the fuel tank if you are using a gravity fuel system. But if you are using a fuel electronic fuel pump you'll need to add a fuel pressure regulator with a 1:1 boost reference.
i thought so, plus dont carburetors have sealing problems under boost? i think a pull through setup would work wayy better, not to mention the sketchy paper test done at the end, it would take alot more than that to snuff a motor i feel
@@flubdorp No a draw through setup is even worse because engine runs like crap and its a pain to tune it also has terrible throttle response. If you properly seal up the carb it won't leak.
@@TheSmallEngineShed ooh good insight, what u think abt the paper test?
@@flubdorp I think he did it to prove that the turbo are connected to the intake of the engine but there not connected properly so you never see any boost.
Amazing how a felt tip mark works as well as modern CAD programs to make sure it's all time perfectly.
Should be 2M subs
why? because he is a scam artist and fakes videos?
teh turboes can not operate, and are intentionally set up to NOT make boost.
I wish I was intelligent enough and skilled enough and financially capable of doing a build like this. Listen to how smooth that thing is. Just incredible.
That my dear friend, is kindly referred to as a "twin-turbo" Engine 😊😊
And I WANT it.
yep , me too . I reckon she'll spin up a good 10 or 12 bhp !
This is awesome! Mechanic and engineer, lots of talent. I didn't expect that hunk of metal to live again lol 👏
I don't know if you're monitized in this video. So I didn't skip an ad
if it wasn't monetized or was demonetized you wouldnt see an ad :)
I can't believe you salvaged anything from that pile of rust. Nice work!
This is a masterpiece,but you forget an intercooler or intercoolers.😊Try with twin scroll turbo,also😊
Contrary to popular belief, an intercooler is not strictly necessary. You do still absolutely benefit from the added power of turbos, intercooled or not
Thank you for sharing!!! Its so cool to see someone creating something & building something so nice. You are a true craftsman!!! Thank you!
Скоро мы увидим полностью самадельный двигатель:)
This would be a mad engine for a motorcycle conversion absolute blow out well done old mate
So much of this is so far beyond what I thought was possible.
It's so cool, at the end, the hard work is finally paid off.😍
I really thought I was on top of the world when I rebuilt a Volkswagen W12 engine! I ain’t got nothing on this guy👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome build!
I couldn’t tell if you let the penetrating oil sit for long enough or not, but from what it looked like you went straight from applying it to cranking the bolts off. Just know, the longer it sits, the more it’ll break through the rust on those threads and make it so much easier to break them free, and will greatly decrease the risk of breaking the bolt heads off the threads :)
No fake aging on this resto. Nice work.
Thank you for not putting boring music on your videos
I couldnt stop squinting when he dropped those heads in the lathe after lobbing them up with a wobbly drop saw . This is the most crudely brilliant shit i have ever seen. Absolute genius. Im all for it 👍
Brought Back From The Dead 👏👏 Quality Work Sir.
Love the burnout 😂😂 Also, getting a blow-through carb to work right, let alone two of them can be such a pain to get right. Awesome build!
I swear this guy has a massive stockpile of those small cam cases for motorbikes. I don't know the exact make but they're in almost every build I see him make.
They're an old Honda design, manufactured by a lot of different companies now.
Nearly all small Chinese, Indian, Korean, ECT motorcycle use the same engine.
they are cheapo gy6 heads. you can get them for like 30 bucks a piece
NOW THAT IS TRULY A MAGIC MARKER ! AMAZING JOB MY FRIEND !!
In a world of electric interest, this is very cool. Nor only did they make a running engine from an abandoned air compressor, but they threw turbos on it too, heck yea!
Somebody get this man a ratcheting wrench set! Solid work!
the altering of the valve rockers to get the right opening and closing duration, just by eye is something that only a few people can imagine and see in their mind's eye,
Absolutely Majestic, Heart Melting, Inspiring Engineering, Everything Absolutely Wonderful.
Great design, the welds look great. Hopefully it holds up. Love to see it power something and get a little run time.
Both those turbo's are toast and the fan belt with the hand is real darwin stuff
It did not need twin turbos at all to be a total WIN. It was still the coolest engine build I have ever seen before the turbos showed up.
Man, after the spark edit I was sold, so I subbed.
Off the charts incredible! I would like to see you put it on a mini bike or go kart to see how it would perform.
Cutting and swapping the rockers instead of dismantling, the camp shaft was pretty genius
Impressive project. Well done and very well edited.
This guy is an engineering genius. Well done!
This is going in my "watch at 3 am" playlist
A work of art. I'm impressed with the simplicity, yet so beautiful end result. I'm imagining a cool little cafe racer bike with this engine in it, most for show, not high performance.
I bet it makes SEVERAL horsepower! 😂
I have autism and my autism level obsession is cars and car related things (engines included, especially high performance engines). This video was extremely fascinating to watch, I never would have even thought this was possible. I am absolutely mind-blown. I love this video.
when you pulled out the little half cams, think i was jumping around my computer chair with excitement. that tiny muffler is really awesome. your hand starter is amazing!
I really want to know how much HP this makes, how much PSI are those turbo's making, what's the compression ratio... all the details!
That is next level ingenuity! Bravo!
Sounds beastly I just wonder how much vibration there is. And how long it will last it doesn’t have an oil pump. For the rotating assembly I love how this guy literally takes anything put a Honda head on it and makes it run
Le Dan skills are spreading.
That is seriously cool would love to see it in a go-kart or something similar
it would not last half a round before this engine seizes up or disintegrates.
@asdfjkl981 still be cool to see
The name of your channel cracks me up, let’s learn something! I learn something every time I watch your videos, I learn that there’s no way in hell i could do this 😂
Love love love those V4's! They're just so underappreciated, and underutilized in the transportation sector. That thing would end up in a "tiny car". A scale version of a real car that's a Go-Kart, made to look like a little Spyker Laviolette! Or a mini jdm car, like an R34 or R32. Like a 1/4-1/3 scale Go-Kart that looks and acts exactly like the vehicle it's modeled after. A Mini Lancia Stratos would be sick too!
Sin palabras Victor, impresionante trabajo 👌🏼ansioso por verla ya terminada. Saludos y un gran abrazo
awesome, no other words to describe you. it would be amazing to see him in a custom bike
The most interesting video I've seen for years
