@@jorge8596 Sad thing about that is 1 anemic 350 Chevy small block nearly doubles that horsepower while weighing barely half the weight of those four engines.
@@irgant I can already tell by the "1991" that you're saying the Soviet union broke up in 1991, and you don't get the joke. And your name is in non-Russian characters, and your profile picture has English. So you either don't speak Russian and used Google translate, or you speak both, but wanted to be a nuisance by replying in Russian to the English comment.
You NEVER ask a Russian 'Can it be done?'.. All you need to do is ask them is 'When will it be ready :)'. Much appreciation and respect from Australia!
Reaper4367 i love these guys, they always deliver on what they’re promising, something goes horribly wrong they just get another car and do it again, they never disappoint
"Hey there, fellas. So, in today's video we'll be adding the millionth and final engine to our Lada. Sadly the series will end after this episode, as there are no more Lada engines to add in all of Russia."
Just after WW2 a guy in the UK took an engine from a spitfire and mounted it in a Rolls Royce. Taking it to Germany he drove it on the autobahn reports say the speed was insane and the engine eventually pulled itself out of the car lol. Now with the insane powerful Russian aero engines mounted in a car maybe a Lada or even one of the old soviet black limousines that would be a sight to see. Let me know what you think guys.
Imagine what they could do on this channel if they had access to American junkyards. For every 4 cylinder sitting in a junkyard in Russia there are 2 cast iron v8's sitting in a junkyard in the U.S.A
ive been watching this channel for awhile , why has the algo not recommended this before!! this is EPIC!! holy moly , ive never seen distributor caps blow !!
just a thought but if the number 1 cylinder on number 1 engine is at TDC engine number 2 number 1 cyl should be at 90 deg past and number 3 engine cyl number 1 would be at 180 deg past then finally engine number 4 number 1 cyl would be at 270 deg past then in theory the cyl would be constantly aplying hp to the transmission and make more power , just a thought , I resent this as I had grammar errors in the first one I sent sorry
The principle is right, the numbers are wrong. Each 4 cyl engine fires every 180 deg so the phasing of each number 1 cyl should be 0 deg, 45 deg, 90 deg, 135 deg, then the front engine picks it up again at 180 deg and so on. Less stress on that long and flexy crank and would sound way cool!
It would make no difference in power output, it would only smooth the power pulses. You can't even archive proper balance with 2 4cyl together so there's no point getting complicated with it.
I was waiting for them to get into the timing procedure, but no. Attaching the crank pulley to the flex plate would have to be just right for this to work well and maximize power.
First I'm not an engineer nor am I a mechanic What if it was modified to make an entire engine act as a single cylinder. So in theory 4, 1 cylinder (IRL 4 cylinder) engine with 4 pistons. Then theoretically engine 1 all 4 cylinders at 180, engine 2 and 3 all 4 cylinders in each at 0, then engine 4 all 4 cylinders at 180.
@@atechnews3221 Couldnt work but I see what youre going for there. To better understand, look at how a crankshaft is designed and offset. It wouldnt be possible
You need to put them in the "Tractor pull style" configuration. The reason older V-16 cylinder engines worked so well is because all the pistons were on the same crankshaft. Every engine you add may add horsepower, but it is mechanically dissipated.
Maybe i missed the four fuel pump setup somewhere,cant just divide the fuel from same hose with t fittings....needs a custom twin tanks w 2 pumps on each
you are to be commended! utterly fantastic. love it. got a kick out how all the different motors seemed to be doing their own thing. sometimes it looked like some were accelerating and another might be trying to idle. when the distributor caps started falling off i almost flipped! very funny. very enjoyable. maybe even a little educating - honest! keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
The front wheels do not steer. They just float. It steers by the mid wheels (original front wheels of the car). That is why it is So hard to control at high speeds.
Running all those engines through a standard gearbox will hold it back. I also think those pressure plates are flexing knocking the timing out on each engine slightly. Another good video.
These engines are capable of good power 200bhp, if enlarged to 2000cc and electronic fuel injection and ignition fitted. Engines are strong, they had to be to survive in Russian winter. They are a modified fiat unit whitch was used extensively for racing in the 1980s.
Hi great vid :) Had one of those ladas -82 in the old days, the distribution rotor has buildtin rpmbrakes and... now you know what to do. Keep'm coming.
If you put one way slipper clutchs between each motor like a one way bearing to allow the crankshaft some rotational play..every motor has different behavior with timming..hooked solid crank to crank the motors fight each other..and you don't get the top performance of each..I went through this with a pulling tractor with multiple motors...once we gave them 2inches of rotational play we got full power from each...thats why you had the distributors explodeng...FANTASTIC SHOW..I love your creations,.,
If it were me, don't get rid of this thing... fix it up a little... improve the handling... get the motors in sync... then wait for summer and see what it can really do at a drag strip or something (if you can even get anyone to let you run it)
dont evertake that apart, make a actual vaz rat rod keeping all the engines, but actually fixing it up to be somewhat decent to drive and dont have the wheels in the middle. Also, cant you hook up the engines with gears to be sitting side by side each other, just in 2 rows instead of 4 in a single line?
We did the same here in America years ago. We had 5 V8s...haha talk about a WILD RIDE. 🤣 We did something a bit diff with the front end though. We kept the front end of the car as the turning point and just built some casters for the very front 2 wheels. When when we turned the steering wheel the front casters were free so they would also turn. We were going to go ahead and extend the steering rode but at the last min decided to just use casters and it worked out good. Now of course you had to get use to the turning radius but once you were use to it, it was 👌 OK. Ended up using the motors on our pulling tractor and even added another V8 making the total come to 6 V-8 motors. We pull tractors professionally on ESPN in the Summers. Love the channel guys btw....just found it and we enjoy it. Sometimes even have it playing in the background while we're in the garage working on the tractor...haha. keep up the great work guys. Stay Safe! 🙏
@@sunshinekid6922 to say vodka correctly, you need take 5 shots of it and try and yell it out loud after downing the 5th shot and holding back your dry reaching.
Hmmm.... I see a lot of vibration on that setup. You might find it runs better and vibrated much less if you correctly match the firing order between all the engines. With 16 cylinders you should be able to get 4 cylinders all on the power stroke at exactly the same time across 4 engines if you worked it all out and set it up correctly. Cool vid nonetheless... :)
Actually it would be less vibration if they fired all at different times, evenly spaced between firings. That would be somewhat time consuming if it was even possible to figure out crank positions and clock each one so they fire at or close to even intervals.
Lada is good for cold. My dad's car is fiat cinquecento. in the morning ,when there had -20c°, the car was frozen and when he started the car that started at first time. That fantastic!
Amazing guys! I love watching your experiments. Although I'm sure you guys have it under control I suggest moving the hubs and transaxle to the rear of the car and mounting the engines from the rear to the front ending with IV where the original goes. You would have to build a box to protect yourself while driving but it would all fit inside the vehicle.
Law of diminishing returns. Not surprising its slower and stuff is starting to break. Theres a shitton of harmonics there and the engines are probably not synchronized as well as they could be, leading them to loose more power than gained with each additional motor. Still cool, tho.
This is also more weight on the front axle but not really on rear. even if it was running good there is no way 4th egine would do much to acceleration. and not adding radiator is kinda stupid imo
mysock351C; theoretically YES! I believe it could be done with the result of a very smooth running "Masterpiece" (for lack of a better word)!!! The position of the 4 cranks should work together to eliminate any vibration without a harmonic balancer. I can just picture it now; the ?frame? Self disintegrating w/tires going one way, engines (still running) going in 4 different ways, Lada body w/driver(screaming) being launched over finish line...ROTFLMAO!!!!! Captain BUCKLEY (ret.)
You are very naughty boys 1;no seat belt;2 no helmet 3' no approved driving suit just to name a few but got to love you Crazy Rusky's . You got the Mad Max Approval award .Cheers from Down Under in Australia
Not so cold that you have to leave a motor running!...…. But, when that old sun goes down like a rock you gotta wear mittens which are fun to work precision with. Fortunately, not so cold you can't drink coffee and film. (Of course you keep a car running with warm coffee and donuts inside). "No booze guys until we get back to home base." Nice video!
