Can I put a supercharger like that on my Harley Davidson Street Glide? I have 131 HP and 149 ft lbs of Torque right now and its definitely way faster than it was but still not fast enough.
I'm probably the 800th person to say this, but just in case nobody else did, you forget to tell people to have the ring gaps opposed and not in line with each other. To limit unnecessary blow by and compression loss. Great video btw!!! I loved it! That thing sounds meaty
@@adytowe7969 I remember putting my Durango back together years back when replacing the trans….I had two really long bolts left and also heard a couple bounce from under and hit the road while driving….needless to say I drove it with no issues for 7 more years before selling it to my neighbor, who still has it. 🤷🏼♂️
I thought you were going to jump right into speeding around and yelling at me about how fast it goes. But you educated me and gave me understanding and lead to the final result.
As a mechanic myself this video is a well thought out and planned explication of a how to. Hats off to you for this video as it will guide many to succeed in an endeavour like this.
I enjoyed this video, thks bro..I’m a DVET, master tech, and can’t build anymore, due to being in a wheelchair, so I miss it…nothing beats building with ya own two hands,and enjoying the fruits of labor..
@itp5x5 yep guys use them for kart racing and build out the 212cc usually but aftermarket serves them fairly equally I think. You can get around 30hp out of the 402cc I think k that's the displacement
I really appreciate the amount of detail you gave whilst mounting the piston rings and all the interior crankcase bits and valve train. I could still pester you with questions about reasons for some of the procedures as well as sealing and grinding compounds you used, but you vastly extended my understanding on an engine rebuild. Thanks!
I'm in no way, shape, nor form a gear head, yet the way you made this video gives me the confidence that I could do this same procedure. You have earned my subscription. Great work and it looks awesome!
WOW!!!! EXQUISITE REBUILD!!! WOW!!! It's so rare to find a professional rebuilder like in the old days!! Thank you, Dear Sir! For the knowledge, and the professionalism! I really learned so new gentle torque down tips from you! And I thought that I took it easy. Also how to oil the rings on installation! Thank you again!
Damn that's pretty easy. Set the ignition coil gap and BOOM, your engine is back together, with a blower and the AFR set at the magical boost setting. I must have been gapping coils wrong my whole life. All the engines I've gapped were still NA when I finished.
Hey. Best video ever. You never see videos like this where you are walked through step by step and thoroughly explained everything!! I love it. Can’t wait to watch more of your channel. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough!
Hey mate don’t normally comment on videos but but your made a great instructional tutorial! Everything you need and no bs, good tips and I enjoyed watching, you have a talent here!
The arguments here are funny. This guy has a professional shop with every resource needed. Hes not your 14 yr old trying to build something with nothing by watching a few YT videos. He's been through trial and error and is giving you the best information he can. This is his hobby. Buying a 212 predator and thinking you can build it and have everything going smooth in 35 minutes is bc you you expected the time to amount to the actual build. This guy probably spends a few days doing these builds if not more bc of machining work from another shop. The video is very informative
I'm 62, I have known some of the Best gas and diesel mechanics. I was Wowed by the Smooth, Real, hands on build. Send this to any supplier you enjoy, and wait. If they want to sell tools, parts, chemicals, You'd be the Guy. I Really respect and Enjoyed Talent in motion. THANKS TOMMY
Great detail on build. I very much appreciate that! Everyone else always assumes that everyone else has been involved in a build which isn't always so. Thank You Sir
I watched this again came across it out of the blue,and enjoyed it as much as the first time..reminds me of all the time I spent rebuilding stroking my banshee to a 410cc two stroke , little different but still all fun..
Sooo, you basically bought a complete engine, and replaced Everything, except for the Block and maybe the oil filter. Now all you need is a block, and an oil filter, and you can make a working stock engine with all the spare parts
Yeah I was watching him pull the engine apart and was wondering why he didn't just stick a wrecked bike engine or 90s honda 1.6 in there. The Honda would have been heavier, but 30 more horse, fuel injected, and a shitload more reliable. Would have cost way less too.
It's a really cool video, but also, I just want you to know Red Beard Garage, the way you signed out this video means something. You may just be a stranger on a screen talking to anyone, but words like that can catch the right person on their wrong day the right way. So, thank you for adding kindness to the world.
Dude I love you straightforward style man you're so clear on everything on all the different parts on the different lengths all the gaps and everything excellent job my brother
you guys are cool I am an old dinosaur but in the 90s we were putting industrial z turn riding mower engines in Volkswagens on a giant piece of property in Central Florida a friend of mine had a Unlimited Supply of old z turn riding mowers and old Volkswagens so the rest is history a bunch of young guys with nothing better to do decided to put two and two together so we did and the racing two-cylinder Volkswagen was born and we had a blast and I know you guys are too hooray for y'all for thinking outside the box and trying new things keep up the good work
So just glancing at the parts list this engine is around 3k to 4k. If you want to go fast you have to pay. Very cool. I would still prefer this over a motorcycle engine to avoid shifting. I have a stock 650 Kawasaki atv engine that i'll use. It's only(lol) around 50hp and not nearly as cool but my frame is smaller and I didn't pay much for it. I just got done putting an old school Briggs 8hp flathead on a vintage McCulloch F1 race kart it's a real hoot.
Achronic Deth As long as you have the baffling around the cylinders, the front cover, and the fan on it then overheating shouldn’t be an issue. Plenty of air should be directed around the cooling fins even at idle.
I must give this man credit he is one of the best persons I ever seen building motor just like me very detailed very neat and very on poin the very 1 point that's the way I work this is the best person I've ever seen and keep up the good work great job
You the man for this build red beard! Your talent is being blessed and shows quality thru that mean machine and family. May God bless your mission and friends who help to success
Thank you for this build. I always like the long play videos where the creator shows every thing he did minute by minute. That makes for a long video but I always enjoy all the problems the mechanic runs into. I have to say, this was really well put together and I enjoyed the pacing. I love to see mechanics rebuilding these predator engines, making them better than they were. What was the total cost of the rebuild of this engine?
Love this! I don’t see too much in the way of superchargers these days. Speaking of supercharging, I just got an AMR500 to slap on my 1.2L Mitsu triple. Gonna be putting together a vid on it soon, it should be putting down 100+hp to the wheels 😜
I absolutely love how you include all the details, even the socket sizes! That's badass! You make it look and sound sooo easy... I am glad I came across your channel! Amazing production quality. Totally subscribing!
Good sir, it's this type of video why i went to UA-cam way back in the day!!!! I've learned allot from doing so. Thank you and your team for providing this content.
I love your videos and this looks like a pretty neat build. But, I have one comment that I think you might find useful. When you tap out the pin that holds the governor, if you shorten that pin, you can drive it back in the hole to seal it. That way you’re resealing it with the same piece that precisely fits it with no issues at all. It really is a quicker and cleaner solution. If it makes you feel better, you could even put a little Loctite on it, but that’s likely overkill. In any event, I’m looking forward to seeing the performance videos.
Cool project, I personally would have probably used a sport bike motor instead. I imagine it would be more cost effective and more powerful. But it’s still a dope and very detailed build
I was going to comment the same thing! Before all the craziness my ENTIRE 600cc sportbike (2004 Honda CBR600 F4i) was $2300 bucks. I actually got a mint 2005 CBR600RR for $2100 too. Something like 45 ft-lbs 90hp and includes an alternator, wiring, tach, ECU, clutch, transmission, radiator, fans, and a keyed ignition. Wrecked bikes that still run can still be had for even less I'm sure. Then sell off the extra motorcycle parts and you can end up with only $1500 or less in the powertrain. And you get more power and more reliability. M/C build has no supercharger whine, less low-end grunt, and not nearly as cool though.
Nice uniflow 2 stroke conversion, ports intake on bottom exh valves on top, these aluminum blocks are easy to cost into for ports, thinking of doing this with a big v-twin Harley motor, brapp
There's a reason it never crossed your mind... it's moronic, specially when you can buy one hundred hp motorcycle engines all day long for less than $1k that won't blow-up after a few hours of use
Omg, I love you! You called it an ENGINE!!!!! ... most of these people don't know the difference between an engine and motor ... lol. Subbed, thanks man!
That would be the lazy Boy way of doing things. Plus he might have $2.500-$3.000 grand in parts/boring/machine work. So to go out and get a used engine ($500-$800 ) good luck on Reliability/power. 0r buy a new one from Harley Davidson /Suzuki/Honda etc. That will make 70+ hp. your going to spend $9.000 grand and UP!!.
Okay horsepower masochist. Go ahead and wildly modify your Chinese lawn tractor engine into unreliability. Plenty of good high performance motorcycle engines at the motorcycle salvage - for a lot less than $9,000. I’m just saying that if speed is your goal, starting with a low performance Harbor Freight engine is a colossal waste of money and time
Love watching your videos just started my mini bike build leaning towards a 224 base currently running a 249cc briggs donor from the toy pile on my hillbilly full suspension build God bless and build some more turbo and super hair dryer toys
When gapping rings always err on the side of caution. You will not hurt the engine being a little loose but if it is to tight you will have catastrophic failure
@@RedBeardsGarage if you don't put the engine together exactly right you may as well throw the supercharger in the trash, which is where the engine will go after you run it, supercharger is just a bolt-on
Hats off to you sir for sharing your knowledge with us on that amazing engine! This video is one of the best and most instructional videos I have ever seen on UA-cam! I am a retired master aircraft mechanic with 30 plus years of experience including the overhaul of aircraft piston engines and you sir a master at what you do. Really great video and thanks again for sharing!
uestion:. Since even with properly gaped rings you get some blow by, has anyone ever experimented with putting two compression rings in each ring grove? I know the existing groves might not be wide enough to accommodate two rings each, but they could be widened. The possible advantage would have the two rings in each grove offset from each other thus minimizing blow by and increasing compression with the 4 compression rings on each piston. Just a thought.
Too many comments to sort through but a couple of things that a should have been addressed. 1-Grease compatibility and assembly line with motor oil being used. 2-Piston ring gap orientation, difference between 2 and 4 stroke and maybe “zero gap” or overlapping rings. Maybe add an extra 2 minutes to the video. Otherwise good job guys. God Bless !!
I have no desire to build one of these engines, but I am so impressed by your knowledge and precision, that I subbed. You get to do what so many of us dream of. I was lead to your channel from VasilyBuilds.
While that's pretty cool, I think at that point I'd just pull out an old Honda 1.6L single cam and slap it in. Would probably be cheaper, though you'd have less speed off the line due to weight but a good bit more torque
As I was saying to the other fellow I wouldn't have changed any internals I would have put the butler on there and run the piss out of it anything less than 10 lb of boost is fine with most stock internals in hell if it did break He spent more money in parts You could buy a whole new motor lol
This engine has no cylinder liner, seems to have valve seats machined right into the aluminum head, and probably a number of other cost-reducing design features - hardly worth upgrading this engine I think.
I gotta had it to you. This was an excellent build. You did a perfect job, I mean I thought I would catch you slipping on those starter mounting bolts, I was like the one time my dude doesn't use a torque wrench then 20 seconds later you're torquing them down. I know this is an old video, but I just came upon it. I even like how you turned down the idle for a moment to let the oil get to the dry side and then when you did start giving it throttle you gave it baby bumps until it was warmed up. Nice job beginning to end!
Probably should have both sets of piston rings with you at the grinder so you do uniform grinding to both ring sets. All that talk about gapping and it seemed like he just eyeballed it lol. It is just a harbor freight engine tho
Cam followers and lifters are different. Normally lifters work with rocker arms and push rods, cam in block design. Cam followers work with hydraulic valve lash adjusters, over head cam designs.
So are you going to show how to mount the supercharger, alternator, and everything else you put on the engine? The build up to that point was.usefull but what about the rest of it
To see how we mounted the supercharger watch the video link below! ua-cam.com/video/3IQ1pOgWDoU/v-deo.html
Can you build me one?
Can I put a supercharger like that on my Harley Davidson Street Glide? I have 131 HP and 149 ft lbs of Torque right now and its definitely way faster than it was but still not fast enough.
Why does the parts list have two superchargers?
I wanna buy one what’s the price
I need one for a mini bike project
I was not expecting that much clarity in the breakdown and build process. Well done sir.
Love your proccess clear as day great step by step all info for all the parts
Was just thinking that
Right!
No filler 100% great vid
I'm quite impressed. This is a very high quality video.
I'm probably the 800th person to say this, but just in case nobody else did, you forget to tell people to have the ring gaps opposed and not in line with each other. To limit unnecessary blow by and compression loss. Great video btw!!! I loved it! That thing sounds meaty
It doesn't matter that much... they spin around when the engine runs.
I'm frequently amazed at how mechanics can get all that back together.
Yes me to I would have all sorts of parts left over
@@adytowe7969 I remember putting my Durango back together years back when replacing the trans….I had two really long bolts left and also heard a couple bounce from under and hit the road while driving….needless to say I drove it with no issues for 7 more years before selling it to my neighbor, who still has it. 🤷🏼♂️
Good story thank you for sharing take care mate respect
I'm thinking this would be awsome
If you know you know if you don’t you don’t.
Y’all gave this engine the attention that a race engine might get. Can tell y’all love what you do. Really impressive work!
My goodness the amount of available aftermarket parts for these small engines never ceases to amaze!
Harbor Freight owes their success to UA-cam. They must've sold MILLIONS of these motors. Very cool stuff.
😂 its an engine not a motor

I could take it apart, it’s never going to be put back together again!
Love watching your videos just started my mini bike build leaning towards a 224 base currently running a 249cc briggs donor from the toy pile on my hillbilly full suspension build God bless and build some more turbo and super hair dryer toys
Never would’ve thought you could get that kind of power from a harbor freight engine!!!!!
When gapping rings always err on the side of caution. You will not hurt the engine being a little loose but if it is to tight you will have catastrophic failure
When it's loose it doesn't feel as good when it's tight
Man everyone knows how to do this, we just need to know where to get the spare money!
I bet u can't even change oil on your car.
I wish i could even afford a dirtbike
luis trevino I bet u don’t even have a car
luis trevino he’s just here tryna make some jokes stop being a dick lmao
I guess the supercharger install is classified..
I guess. This is kinda click bait.
Yep only reason I clicked
He already did a video on that
That video is linked in he video description. This was to show the build of the engine to get it ready for the supercharger.
@@RedBeardsGarage if you don't put the engine together exactly right you may as well throw the supercharger in the trash, which is where the engine will go after you run it, supercharger is just a bolt-on
Hats off to you sir for sharing your knowledge with us on that amazing engine! This video is one of the best and most instructional videos I have ever seen on UA-cam! I am a retired master aircraft mechanic with 30 plus years of experience including the overhaul of aircraft piston engines and you sir a master at what you do. Really great video and thanks again for sharing!
Thank you very much!
@@RedBeardsGarage You are most welcome and I look forward to seeing your other videos!
This is the best step by step video I have seen very informative
"Without leaving a gap" looks like a gap to me bub
I'm pretty sure that's why he said it lol
Awesome Job. How many hp are you expecting?
@@The_Replacements Should have redone the ring, that gap would haunt if it was me!
uestion:. Since even with properly gaped rings you get some blow by, has anyone ever experimented with putting two compression rings in each ring grove? I know the existing groves might not be wide enough to accommodate two rings each, but they could be widened. The possible advantage would have the two rings in each grove offset from each other thus minimizing blow by and increasing compression with the 4 compression rings on each piston. Just a thought.
@@CTSHOEBOX how would he have redone the Ring?
God I wouldn’t know how to put all them springs and shit back together 😂
How cool would it be to build this exact engine he just built and put it in golf cart
Not cool at all.
I kind of want to see one on a Sportster and one on a 4 wheeler. 🤣
Or hook it to a gear box and put it on a chopper.
Too many comments to sort through but a couple of things that a should have been addressed.
1-Grease compatibility and assembly line with motor oil being used.
2-Piston ring gap orientation, difference between 2 and 4 stroke and maybe “zero gap” or overlapping rings. Maybe add an extra 2 minutes to the video. Otherwise good job guys. God Bless !!
I have no desire to build one of these engines, but I am so impressed by your knowledge and precision, that I subbed. You get to do what so many of us dream of. I was lead to your channel from VasilyBuilds.
,, Without leaving a gap" leaves a gap of millimeters
I think he realized that once it gets compressed and heated up it will expand. An over expanding gasket can cause serious leaks
Yeah i seen that big gap to 🤣
Hardly a gap. Copper deforms obviously. Pedantry really, even a gap that's not visible is still a gap.
While that's pretty cool, I think at that point I'd just pull out an old Honda 1.6L single cam and slap it in. Would probably be cheaper, though you'd have less speed off the line due to weight but a good bit more torque
As I was saying to the other fellow I wouldn't have changed any internals I would have put the butler on there and run the piss out of it anything less than 10 lb of boost is fine with most stock internals in hell if it did break He spent more money in parts You could buy a whole new motor lol
This engine has no cylinder liner, seems to have valve seats machined right into the aluminum head, and probably a number of other cost-reducing design features - hardly worth upgrading this engine I think.
@@lyndonthan4350 all nylon gear wheels see he left one in ,all drilling tapping for a blanking plug ,just glue bolt in not used for any thing,
How much to put this on a mini cup nascar for me?
I gotta had it to you. This was an excellent build. You did a perfect job, I mean I thought I would catch you slipping on those starter mounting bolts, I was like the one time my dude doesn't use a torque wrench then 20 seconds later you're torquing them down. I know this is an old video, but I just came upon it. I even like how you turned down the idle for a moment to let the oil get to the dry side and then when you did start giving it throttle you gave it baby bumps until it was warmed up. Nice job beginning to end!
I admire your power tool brand selection
"add copper ring gasket cutting it to not leave a gap" *shows 1/16" gap to camera*
Probably should have both sets of piston rings with you at the grinder so you do uniform grinding to both ring sets. All that talk about gapping and it seemed like he just eyeballed it lol. It is just a harbor freight engine tho
Brian. One bad ass Harbor freight
Motor!!
Nice pfp
@@bmjca123 you must not know what a feeler guage is, it's the tool he used to check gap after he had ring in cylinder
Hand wringing while failing to comprehend copper deformation = no gap.
Am i the only one with a cbr engine in my head the whole way through this video..
Literally could have bought a used motorcycle engine for a couple hundred bucks. Way cheaper and easier
How about a supercharged 1800cc Gold Wing engine?
@@ehsnils How about no?
@@ehsnils that would be badass but defeats the purpose of being cheap and simple.
Maybe not a CBR but a Suzuki SV650 Salvage motor would have cost nothing and makes that HP stock. And you get to keep the VTwin sound.
Never heard of “cam followers” before I always heard em called lifters
Cam followers and lifters are different. Normally lifters work with rocker arms and push rods, cam in block design. Cam followers work with hydraulic valve lash adjusters, over head cam designs.
He also referred to them as cam tappets. They do not look like any type of standard lifter.
I like that you went to the point of detail of putting the fasteners size footnotes in along the way.
This video was so perfectly edited it must have taken forever. Thank you for the complete breakdown and clear explanation
I didn’t see it in the top of the comments I was curious how much everything cost including engine if you don’t mind
I am extremely interested in the final cost for the whole project. I may consider selling my motorcycle to make this
That plastic gear in the crankcase looks like a sure point of failure. Does it drive the oil pump?
A lot of motorcycles and even some cars use plastic gears to drive the oil pump. It'll be fine.
@@brennen6354 i would still trust a steel or aluminum gear over a piece of plastic
So are you going to show how to mount the supercharger, alternator, and everything else you put on the engine? The build up to that point was.usefull but what about the rest of it
Clearly in the vid description. This was obviously building the engine, not installing the charger.
Two years later and it’s still ridiculously funny🤣
Primo build man. Thank you for offering free advice on setting ring gap, bearing tolerance, and valve clearances
Anyone else recognize the music from donut media bumper to bumper
I swear I just commented about this
More powahhh baby......
All that money in aftermarket parts, would it be safer using a Honda block?
Makes about as much sense as a 500hp stock block 5.0.
Sounds better than a “HardassAbleson" lol...
STRONGLY AGREE!
That's a great build! Who knew!!!
This isn't a build, it's a RE-BUILD! Wow!!!!
