@@toreshammerecelt861 Yes plus 2yrs ago 4x4, starts, shifts thru gears and weighs a bit more... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7DCpUs0cnt0.html
@@leemiracle6840 are there even clutches that are able to handle that much torque? I'm seriously interested to see and a torque converter would probably need to spin a lot faster if it was liquid driven but maybe, just maybe if it was friction drivin like a drum style with a hydraulic actuator type of setup instead of relying on centrifugal force
@@evalzeyn9730 They grab russian Lada engines and put them into old american cars. If you need someone to jerry-rig an engine for you, the cubans are your people.
There's a governor screw that limits the speed when it's used in a generator, unscrew that and it'll rev much higher. Also, if you haven't stripped the interior, do that. I want to see this thing as a daily!
Why does this just seem like more fun and more interesting than a 1,200 hp twin turbo ls swap. I don't know either, but it is! You guys were laughing your _ucking arses off, and had me laughing too. One of the best videos ever!
Should have made a jack shaft with the center of the clutch disc welded to one end for the splines to adapt to the transmission shaft. Use a 40 series torque a verter kit with plate on the 420cc engine. Run chain from driven clutch to sprocket on the jackshaft. This will give you a neutral when idling and also allow you to shift your transmission to reverse when needed. You would also be able to start your engine with the electric starter or pull start and the car would not jump ahead. No more pushing to start your car. It would run even smoother at the correct rpm/ power band. All you would need is a 40 series converter kit with backing plate and jackshaft made correctly, and appropriate sprockets. And you would have a smooth running and controllable power source for your car. The torque converter kit, pillow blocks and sprockets are off the shelf items. Not much more of an expense.
Right now the first time it builds speed going down a hill it will probably blow the engine. Its definitely not welded exactly strait... you can see it shaking from being out of balance. They sell a aluminum lightweight flywheel for the stock engine maybe they could use that to keep down on weight
@Tru Quality there is already a throtle cable in the car. And a centrigical clutch is only a single speed final drive. A torque-a-vertor is a variable speed transmission with a variable ratio final drive. It would be far superior to a centrigical clutch.
There are ways but I don't know how to do this stuff. What is interesting to me is that largest Harbor Freight Predator engine puts out 22hp, enough to actually run a light car if it is rigged up right. The 1220cc VW engine puts out 22.8kw or 30 HP. It would work.
@@zacharyatkins8880 a 10 dollar centrifical clutch from a farm store will work fine all you do is use a tiny like 10 tooth sprocket on the motor and a 100 tooth on the tranny that makes the gearing super low minimizing load on the clutch.
I don't know about Harbor Freight engines in Cuba, but I will tell you Cubans can engine swap anything. It's usually diesel engines going into pretty much any car tho
I can't imagine going to the gas station then popping your hood, but turning off your engine, then you start pumping gas into it, and then the recoil start before leaving
i thought it would just stall out. lol try and rig up the clutch and flywheel and attach the throttle to the gas pedal so you can drive it like a normal car and see how fast it will go.
That would be wicked but they would have to figure out how to rev on cue by using a string or something on the throttle body so it goes faster than rabbit
all they'd have had to do was make a hub that goes over the shaft. would have been not too much more work, except the keyway that would have to be cut in.
Wait wait... haha... We have the green new deal!!! Quoting Alexandria Octasio Cortez: "Why “net zero”? “We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast,” a summary of the proposal says. with her guidelines on ZERO emissions we're even more screwed unless the cows fart into the intake. I think the cow's farting methane would be acceptable if the cow was also included with each car. More like a Brown New Deal.
Hey Guyz ... Thanks for a great video!!! I remember seeing some guys do this with a motorcycle and I wondered ... "Gee I wonder if somebody did this with a car?" - Thanks for making u-toob worth watching again!!! Loved this!! :D :D And seeing the joy on your faces when it worked, was just bonus!! :)
ya that seems like an easy step for more control rather than direct drive. An engine is an engine, i mean an ATV or UTV with 20-30 hp 325cc single cylinder engine (ie polaris sportsman 330) will do a lot of work around most farms with an even smaller engine, so not sure why people are so shocked lol. An ATV can have a lot more control, 4x4 etc so not shocking at all.
You can put a cheap chinese engine in a econobox, and it will get you places, as long as you have another, larger vehicle to follow behind you, and push start you after every stop light. Would have been a lot more impressive, and entertaining had the car been actually functional and not visibly cut up. For instance, the reactions at the Wal Mart when you walk up to the car, open the hood, pull start the motor, then drive away.
@@mikemarler8224 in all fairness, that was just a rushed job. Most of these little engines come with electric start on a 12v system so its quite easy to get electric start. Even my 7hp generator has electric start with onboard battery. Clutch solves the push start issues, and you can get some sort of exhaust to go into the original outlet of the car's exhaust system. Again most of these motors will move a car, drive around etc, but longevity of the vehicle will be relatively low.
yes yes yes , lets show off that we can waste time and that we have lots of money . i am poor and disabled and yet only one person is willing to help me . millions of people on this world and only one . wow eh .
In terms of CC you are close to the first gennerations of Citroen 2cv the 2cv4 which had 425cc. You have actually created a pretty fuel economic vehicle there. You should develop this idea! Hook up the throttle cable and add some clutch mechanism.
@@thedriven1415 These engines have fixed ignition timing. they quickly lose torque when revved up beyond 3600 RPM. At 18.3 foot pounds of torque, that engine produces 12.543 brake horsepower@3600 RPM.
@@thedriven1415 Yes they were under powered but they did not weigh much neither so they compensated for that to some extend. Later a 602 cc version was introduced and that made a world difference from the 425cc earlier version. I drive a 602 cc Citroen 2CV and it can easily cope with modern traffic. The lack of volume only really shows on the highway when I overtake.
@@thedriven1415 The very first 2CV variant from back when they were released was rated at just 9 hk and had a 375 cc engine. this was done at a time where engine power would decide how much you payed for your cars registration, and the low power made it the cheapest car to register on the market. the 425 cc one was rated at 12 hp
@@thedriven1415 They produce similar torque, but governed engines have a narrow power band. Engines will perform pretty close to other engines, as 3000 to 3600. They just fall on their face at anything above, because of venturi size of the carburetor, and small valve size, the engine was never intended to go much faster. their best torque, is usually right around 2800-3000 RPM. At 3600, they don't produce as much torque, but make up for it in speed, to produce their rated horsepower.
@@modder2083 I'm afraid an engine that size would actually run the car! It wouldn't accelerate very well, but it would maintain highway speeds with an engine that size. If you made it a hybrid with a decent size battery, it would actually be viable for day to day transportation, as long as you don't try to pull a trailer.
Yep! The predator v-twin is 33 ft lbs of torque and rated at 22hp. Most say that’s low. Can be had for under $700 with coupon. For reference a 84 CRX 1.3 only had 60 HP and that was a legit car.
Found this video to be one of the best videos I've watched. I love your idea. The best part is seeing a group of friends doing something good together and having a blast. I know that from this video more things will come out and everones life will change. Make money doing things like this. Give away money. Blessings to all of you.
rjcass33 i bought a generator that is twice the size of a honda gen that I could find its massive and 10 years later it fires right up and runs like a boss for like 600 bucks and honda gen is like 3 grand for the same size
