Working 1/4 scale working V8 model engine. Tour of how it's made as well as some light maintenance on the engine.
Here is the latest in the Conley line of V-8 engines. It sports the Stinger 609 name badge (6.09 cubic inches or almost 100 cc) and is the culmination of almost 30 years of knowledge gained in the designing and construction of model engines. The new Stinger possesses no parts used in prior V-8 engines. The bore is 1.00, with a .970 stroke. It weighs about 11.25 pounds and measures approximately 14" long (from the front timing belt to the end of the transmission), 6" wide, and 8-1/4" tall. The supercharged version will be about 10" tall. Among the numerous innovative features like large oval shaped intake ports, "D" shaped exhaust ports, and investment cast parts, two bold attributes stand tall: the dry sump pressurized oiling system and a full ignition system. The engine even has a user replaceable oil filter. For those of you who lack familiarity with dry sump oiling, it simply means that oil resides in a holding tank, rather than a conventional oil pan, which circulates throughout the engine. The oil that does collect in the pan is simply pumped back to the holding tank. I have incorporated what is call a "three stage" oil pump to move all the oil. One stage is used to feed oil to the engine, whereas, the other two stages are used to remove all the accumulated oil from the pan. This is particularly important for high acceleration, cornering, or boat applications. An important side note, my test engine held about 20 lbs oil pressure at idle and 60 lbs oil pressure at 9,000 rpm. The dry sump oiling system not only adds more oil volume but aids in engine cooling and makes sure that there is plenty of oil during hard acceleration or sharp corners. The spark plugs have a 10-40 thread. As always, the new Stinger 609 V-8 will have an electric starter as standard equipment. No hand held electric motors here, or something that fits in a box below the engine, but rather a 12 volt electric motor that is an fundamental part of the engine. It can be activated manually or via the transmitter on your remote control. The centrifugal clutch is also included.
I love it. Yes you can buy a full size V8 cheaper, BUT the work that has gone into this is phenomenal, and this isn't a mass produced thing, it's a talented guy in his workshop, spending a lot of time making them individually. You pay for what you get, and this is some stunning engineering.
13:50 to see the engine running
THIS IS the kind of person who can land a piece of equipment on a comet 4 million miles from us!!!! HE IS a GENIUS !!!!!!
I find Mr. Conley's enthusiasm so encouraging. Very inspirational. If I could afford it, I'd have one as soon as it could be shipped.
Got to win the Loterry.
This workshop is a little piece of heaven on earth. Master mechanic at his trade. Great to see and an inspiration to would be engineers. Congratulations to you and thanks for your masterclass.
I appreciate the thoughtful closeups from the person shooting the video. Cheers!
This guy loves his job, great to see
A fine example of a man who loves what he does and is proud of his work.. 👍
This is without a doubt the coolest thing I have ever seen. I want one of these so bad.
now THIS is why God made technology! Thanks for the video, first time I have seen these engines and may have just found a new hobby...
This is incredible. And he looks like Walter White from the show Breaking Bad.
yes and acts just like him.........mmmmmmm
Perfect for a CRX V8 swap project!
I was going to say fantasic... but this really is incredible !!!!!
This guy took shop class really seriously. You have my respect and a BIG thumbs up from me.
Wow. Dedication right there.
I wish I was able & had the skill & talent to do something this cool. This is Awesome! I've watched this video several times & it NEVER gets dull or old. Thumbs up man & thank you for showing your great workmanship. Question, Were do you get the tiny spark plugs? Again, Thanks
Very impressed with the quality of build of this little masterpiece engine and enthusiasm shown and very informative video, well done.
if you want to study for mechanic, playing with this motor is a great idea!
wow that little motor is absolutely neat
Thank you so much for this video.
You guys really went Inside the Stinger 609!
Beautiful model V8 and an excellent overview. I enjoyed it immensely.
Hey brother, I am not slamming these things by any stretch. They are marvels of micro-engineering. I am merely pointing out that to obtain this kind of attention to detail is not cheap or easy. I do believe that making a full size crankshaft is easier that making one that fits into the palm of your hand. And all the little laser cut gaskets and seals are a sight to behold. No qualms about any of it from my end friend!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
Exceptional work, small or large, you give credit where it's due...Bravo
Now I want to see this in a sick RC :)
More like a go cart.
Thanks so much for your comments and support :)!? You guys are all awesome!?
True engineering. I'm in awe of such craftsmanship.
Wow, just..'ken wow, garry conley is a true obsessive genius. This is the video I've been waiting for, for a long time now. I REALLY want one now...
I can see one of these in a go kart, that has a fiberglass body. A kid would go nuts!
LOVE this kind of stuff... wish I could do similar stuff
Outstanding. I thought I was a perfectionist...obviously not...the man is in a league of his own. Thanks for sharing!
$8295 WITHOUT the supercharger...thats and extra $1200..WOW! The stand to mount the motor to, if you dont build your own is a little over $1000..wth?
That's a fantastic way to spend your time. Well done mate...
Do your engines run on METHanol? walter.
$8,200 for that engine WOW
If I could afford one, I would like it to have a heavier flywheel. Everything else is to scale but it just revs up and down too quick. I have noticed that in every video of these running, they always seem to stall when returning to idle. I bet more flywheel effect would smooth the throttle transitions.
My speedboat 350 Chev V8 cost me 4 grand. I suppose this V8 costs more due to size. But, I like it. What an effort to make one.
Who in their right mind could give this video & concept a thumbs down? There's obviously 178 weirdo's out there. This has GOT to be the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I was thinking the Same thing.
id have the fastest shifter kart on the block if had one of these
Amazing amount of talent and craftsmanship. I see there is one "dislike". What does the "dislike" person have as his claim to fame?
A perfectionist, i admire your skills and patient.
I am an CNC metal worker myself..
I want this to be my alarm clock and for it to go off at 6:09 am every morning. PS the snooze button can be a shot of nitrous! lol.....
"Jessie, we need to make mini v8's Jessie. We have to sell more mini v8's Jessie."
This would make a beast lawnmower
Very very impressed with both the product and that awesome dudes passion and honest explanations. Thank you for sharing and I would just love to buy ,assemble and tune one of those mini masterpieces :)
Can you tell (or do a vid) about the transmission that is attached to this amazing engine, please?
I love it. I can't imagine the engineering that went into this.
The only change I would suggest (like I know anything) is to make your valve rockers rollers, it would take the whole lash problem out of the equation and bring the wear down immensely. Unless this is trying to be an exact replica, I may have missed that part.
Would you consider doing a 4 cylinder turbo? I would love to see a little turbo spinning 150K RPMs, with a cute cherry red glow.
put one of those mini v8's in a mini bike, you'll b a millionare.
Very cool.......attention to detail is everything.......Nice.
Man this engine r sick!! They look awesome.
To bad i can bearly afford a nitro engine :(
Now you just need to find a seven inch tall human who needs a new motor and transmission for his little car.
awesome work and craftsmanship !!!!! but who the hell is buying this things at $6-8k
a very clever man,they are works of art
those little engines and transmissions r so cool@@@@
Incredible sound from that engine! You gotta put that in a Losi 5iveT!!
That'd be a badass boat motor for a 1/4 to 1/6 scale boat! All you'd hear on the water is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET as it blew by
This man is a GENIUS!!!
That's what it's for, 1/4 scale stuff. Cars, Trucks, Boats, Dragsters, etc.
centrifugal clutch off the flywheel to engage the transmission, very cool.
We all love our MIP's
Oh yeah. Look through old rc car mags. They are a work of art when combined with a quick change rear end.
its cheaper to buy and run the full size one XD
Heh heh yup that's insane
that was simply amazing , love the shop, nice set up , 2 questions, 1 for the guy in the red shirt , is this guy hard to work for? and 2 can I have a job?
Fantastic. Thanks for the vid.
oh hell yes. I want one SOOO bad... Sittin right dead center in the middle of my living rooom... Or man cave. Whatever.. lol. Awesome. Really wish this guy was my neighbor, and I had access to his shop.. Hell yes.
AWESOME ENGINE SOUND!!!
Just found this video - pretty awesome! now if only I could find an extra $8300 kicking around...
a lot of the things he is showing is basic engine/vehicle maintenance. considering he's producing engines using full size production techniques on a reduced scale, anything that you know about servicing an engine or what could be taught a local college can be used.
I think it would be hilarious to drop one of those into one of those power wheels thingies
Remarkable! Beautiful work, very nice.
So, what do you do with these? do they go in RC cars/planes/boats?
wow this motor with supercharger and stand is
13,000 dollars
Looks smaller than 1/4 scale. Ultra cool
That motor would fit nicely in a small go-cart.
Iv seen little v8 but this is a little bigger and then put a little supper charger on it ! Sweet !
damn your talented totally awesome job man. im very impressed it isnt easy to do all that machining
This guy is a genius.
muito da hora viu muito lindo mesmo...parabens...
Amazing work wish I could afford to own one you are on my lotto list....
wow i love to have a job like that.
very cool video man. thanks for sharing
I want 2 of those on top of my head, runing my helipod. damn, 12hpx2 if 1 stop the other still make me land safe
i bolieve you have the title wrong, it looks like an 1/8 scale from here, considering a normal v8 engine size. but i stll love the video...its was very educational. thank you
Very nice ...That would be a great gocart engine
When i watched this video my eyes teared up because for someone like me that loves cars this is amazing and for the guy that threw the numbers out there the crate engine you speak of for 2200 will not handle the 1700 dollar supercharger you speak of "wich ive not seen " they are at least 4000 all the pieces you spoke of either will not work together or were way under estimated trust me a motor that can handle a supercharger reliably is atleast 5000 "atleast" and another 4000 for the blower=9000
This is like the Walter White of tiny engines :D
This is incredible. You are now one of my hero's because you did what I wish I would have done. Question. Does the supercharge actually add any power and if so, can you tell me how much pressure it generates? The Supercharger that is? Or is it just for show? Thank You for doing what I never had the time or patience to do.
great engineering work
awesome job
thanks sir......i like engine...
So well explained!
Is it supercharged?
You, good sir, are a genius. I hope you realize that. Hopefully I'll be able to afford one of these engines one day. Also, any plans for a multi cylinder diesel engine, say, an old WWI U Boat diesel or a Detroit 6-71 out of a WWII landing craft? If it could be made into a prefab kit, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I might have to sell a kidney on the black market to get the money for it, but I'd consider it. I have another working one, anyway. :-)
as a certified n.i.m.s. machinest very nice work !
I am at a loss for words except great job.
that is freaking amazing!!!! you should try and build a mini b-series honda vtec. great work!!
just WAW.
Nice Work and shop.
Amazing, beautiful!
1/4 Scale is correct, a full size V8 block is 20 to 22 inches long, the Stinger 609 block is 5.75 inches. FYI
i think it would be awesome if they put a manual transmission with a clutch and you could sit there and shift gears and pop the clutch
