@@fellpower The guy just built an engine out of a junk air compressor! You don't think he could fit it into something and make it work? Like a boat, go-cart, or a motorcycle? You're mad cause you don't have the intelligence to build one.
@@MikeRobersonDaddyDoeBucks those aluminum con rods would be knocking really soon, as those didn't have any bearings like normal engines do. And after all, air compressors don't get used like normal engines, duty cycle is pretty low. It was junk then, and it'll be junk soon. So we learned something today.
@@MikeRobersonDaddyDoeBucksi see sir ,you are man of intellect. Can you explain to me please, why he then run those poor turbo firts dry and above else wrong ? Since we are all just mad and jealous of his skills , i give you example. those tubes, coming out compressor hosing, are boost reference. They should be connected to bowls of carburetor or other parts to help with higher demand of fuel then on boost. But he just hidden them behind and then didn't even run them at all. Funny thing is , if run them in suck throu configuration, he would not need them and maybe even make some power . And those turbos whould be cooked in any application with more then 5 minutes of running them . His oil system is garbage with any pressure or flow so turbos whould get air locked. And i thing that block would Twist or crack because of temperature difference
@@Brett_PierceyI can tell you from that Ford/Mazda era anything rubber in that car breaks. From vacuum leaks to break dust seal and everything inbetween.
OMG, I was an Emglo service tech forr 5 years. Always enjoyed those v4's! Clean up those cranks and put fresh rods, send it! We did Kellogg, Champion, Quincy, name it.... But you're creation is a work of ART!!!!!!
maybe art, but outright trickery, ie, turbos that cannot actually work, is the thing a charlatan resorts to. hint. look at the "reference" lines on the front of the turbos. where do they GO? thats a massive leak, isnt it? on the last run, even the fittings have been removed... a BIGGER leak! wheres the pitot tube feeding boost reference to the carb bowls? essential part of any "blow through" setup. if the bowls experienced any boost... wheres the fuel pump to force fuel in against boost? on the vz21 turbo, one of those flange mounting holes on the front is open directly to the compressor side of the wheel... more air leaks? i was about to mention wastegates but one shot does show them blocked off with a bolt, so no argument on that point. yet again, that bolt is easily removed before bolting the exhausts on, and you never get another look inside there.. if you are a service tech for air compressors, i would hope you have at least a basic knowledge of how a turbo SHOULD be set up, and that open ended hoses and compressors with serious air leaks generally cant build pressure... and that clear vinyl tube dealing with hot oil from a turbocharger is going to last literally minutes at best... trickery, fakery, and useless "bling" doesnt strike me as being very "artistic" at all... it reeks of "scam". if he had stuck to the engine by itself... i wouldnt have any complaints. as it is, its earnt itself a report...
@@paradiselost9946 I've done enough compressors to know they don't have turbos. But with all your criticism, show us what you built. What's that, nothing? That whole setup was just one big spinny thingy, probably useless to power anything......So lighten up Francis!
Unbelievable, I didn't expect it to improve 90% like that, especially the rusty patches that look like they've rotted away. So talented, I love your channel..
TBF an engine is basically just a compressor. Instead of using the rotating mass to compress air for storage, it uses it for power generation or movement. It's not uncommon to see 4 of 8 cylinders on a V8 converted to compress air for stationary use.
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
@@lollipop84858 he's just giving him a tip to improve the engine and make it run more efficiently. There's no need to be rude. And what he's explaining is damn right, cuz i've made the same mistake when i was a beginner at workin with engines😊
Thought that I was the only one noticing😅 unfortunately we didn't see any huge lack of performance due to low boost. Anyways Great comment to help him improve both the engine and his knowledge
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.
FASCINATING! I didn't even want to blink. What an INSANE amount of skill and engineering! The fabrication of those custom cylinder heads and overhead camshafts just blew my mind. Just wow.
Don't forget to lube up the front and rear oil seals when installing them, without it, the friction between the crank and oil seals will create friction and they'll burn out very quickly 😮
Is the engine reliable? Probably not… but the fact that it wasn’t an engine in the first place makes this actually incredible. Definitely need someone like this during the apocalypse 🙂↕️
I love seeing folks raw dog an entire project. No computer driven machines, all manual. Well, there may be a board or two in the TIG welder, lol. Runs smooth, great throttle response. Absolutely excellent job my friend. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
@@jasonsummit1885, you should definitely enlighten me because a number of old school tool and die guys I know very well refer to an all manual machine build as a raw dog process. If it’s been associated with something different and it’s funny as hell, you gotta share man, lol. 😂😂
Best piece of engineering so far, really enjoyed watching you turn that old, rusty compressor into a great looking, great sounding monster of a V4, turbo charged engine! Magic!
Say what you want about this guy, but he's putting in the effort. This isn't some slap job fly by night operation. He's really putting the time effort and thought into these jobs
@@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.
Hey Let's Learn Something, I just wanted to say that every time I watch one of your videos I always get the same feeling of "wow, that's truly incredible." I'm currently in college for mechanical engineering, but you are truly and simultaneously the machinist, engineer, and tradesman that I honestly aspire to be someday. Keep it up my friend, and just know that I fully support you in every creation you form!
@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk "turbo supercharger". yet... they arent even plumbed up. they cant ever develop boost, and if they did, the engine wouldnt run. take a close look at the hoses leading from teh front of the turbo. the ones that usually drive the wastegate... where do they go? the last scenes great... theyre removed entirely, and left open.... just a "minor air leak", i guess. how are those carbs setup to deal with blow through? no boost reference on the bowls... wheres the fuel pump to get fuel in against boost pressure?
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 👍
All internal combustion engines are just air pumps! I'd like to see this with a lil load on it and making boost. Be cool to see if it would stay together.
Use it for a vehicle of some sort , also add a cooler and other things needed like a filter for the intake and bug radiator so you can just floor it and hear the turbos
Why! there are plenty of engines already out there just waiting to go, this just demonstrates the lack of intelligence this generation has now. You are all just trying to be Macgyver.
@oldgamer1330 i was just sayng the sound of engines makes me smile because i like cars but you do you mr i have a scholarship and multiple degrees in mechanics
@@oldgamer1330why use it in some sort of vehicle? Because you can and because it would be cool and unique. Nothing wrong with trying to put in something.
@@SajonWalker Yes I guess that is all this generation can come up with, a complete waste of time. You should have stuck with Lego. Monkeys do and other Monkeys watch on.
@@oldgamer1330why the fuck are u so mad, he just suggested putting it in a car, and instantly a whole generation is incompetent? Says more about you sir
This dude literally just said "see that pile of garbage out back?... lemme do something real quick hold up" and then proceeded to make an entire top end out of nowhere, machined his way into mad scientist level, and ended by basically saying he would've thrived during the golden era of NASCAR where engineering like this was praised when working in the grey area of the rulebook... I'm shook. Wild. 🔥 This is way better than those "just picked up this 'random engine' from the middle of the woods that I definitely didn't just throw away there last week and covered it in 5 pounds of dirt" for this scammy video." Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾
Я из России смотрю тебя и восхищаюсь твоим талантам брат 💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤝 Я сам механик изобретать ! Но твои способности меня искренне восхищают !!!! Лучше тебя ещё не видел!
I remember years ago I saw the video of turning an AC compressor into a engine, it's great to watch now how much the quality of the videos and project has improved! awesome!
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,
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.
Contrary to popular belief, an intercooler is not strictly necessary. You do still absolutely benefit from the added power of turbos, intercooled or not
Impressive! See an assembly and tightening connecting rods without a torque wrench including the cylinders and without a tightening order, down like this with a screwdriver...join 2 camshafts with a mild steel bushing only by pressure....assemble oil seal without first lubricating it .....assemble the valves without the relevant oil seals on the guides.....truly an excellent job.....shith.....
Next time when welding aluminium cilinder heads or cilinders, I’d recommend hammering the welds to compress the material so its stronger and denser. Might have to add material after.
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.
The instantly dirty oil is telling the viewer that its already tearing its self apart. It can't really work. And if THAT ain't enough, the massive cloud of smoke in the room at the end sure should!
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!
This video made me question my existence, I'm surprised the head gaskets didn't fail, and I'm surprised the turbo on the left didn't fail as it wasn't getting oil for a bit, I did notice a bit of play in the compressor wheel during some revs which could have been because of oil starvation but I will admit that I'm impressed, I wouldn't be able to do something like this even if I had all the tools
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 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.
Back in the day (1950s) John Deere had a V4 starting motor on some of their tractors. They ran at high RPM and sounded fantastic. A real contrast to the huge 2 cylinder engine they were cranking up.
There's your backup motor for the electric car. When the batteries run down, this motor comes on automatically to charge up the batteries, or at least get you home.
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
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!
Well didn’t expect to see a PTO shaft rebuilt but man wouldn’t all love to have a shop setup like that? Impressive skills though love the lack of socket wrenches also
Me: "You can't just use those flap valves in an engine, you're gonna need new cylinder heads.." Video: (starts whacking heads together) Wow. Precision work it is not, but it's still awesome to watch.
Very clever build, this guy definetly has lots of ideas. The question is how long will this thing last? All parts are subjected to much higher stresses than in "compressor mode" and the rods are aluminum without bearing liners, the crankshaft has no center support and the list goes on and on... I also believe that everything could have been machined with much more precision, not only based on a felt marker...
