The Predator swapped Yugo moves! - HF Yugo Swap Part 3 

The CVT sholudn't always be spinning... You may need to take some weight out of the cetrifugal clutch shoes if they're grabbing at low RPM, or maybe the idle is too high and causing the shoes to drag. There should be ZERO drag on the system at idle. GoPowersports has aftermarket carb kits, cam kits, flywheels, everything you can think of for the predator, if you need it. I cant wait to see you bombing this thing around town. I want to see how it handles the snow

Theres a company called 3d clutches that make manual clutches for predators, might be worth a look

If you haven't heard of them, check out Robot Cantina on RU-vid. They're doing some similar stuff, including a Predator powered Saturn and a Kubota diesel powered Saturn. Might be up your alley.

I really want to see more of this! I really want to see it drive around on the public roads!

Glad to have your content and the Yugo back!

"You have 30 minutes to move your cube."

I’ve never been so excited for someone else’s project lol. Ever since I saw this I’ve wanted to do an Omni with one of these. Or maybe one of those amazon Diesel engines.

Just love your humor and mechanical skills

Oh awesome! I saw the steadily increasing stream of videos and was hoping for this one!

Hahahaja i suggested that centrifugal clurch when you started this project ...its simple yet effective check the weights in the clutch probably to much weight for disengagement of the drive portion... easy fix! Cant wait to see you blast this thing around town

Such a puzzle! I expect it will do fine once sorted. Drove over the bump well. The crushed into cube part shocked me. Longer intake and exhaust system will improve air velocity inside the engine

Ocmd spring cruise it better be there. Shit sounds tough

That's awesome!!!!!!!

Keen for cube video!

hell yeah dude

Drill the idle jet out to about .45 to .50 mm and it wont need to be warmed up to run good. They are way too lean from the factory

Sounds majestic

The drive clutch on those Amazon CVT’s are junk, I had similar issues with mine where it wouldn’t completely disengage. You can buy a Comet drive clutch on its own and pair it with your driven clutch. Drivability/engagement is so much better. Also noticed the air box is missing, if you rejet the carb you should be in good order.

Great video. Keep it up!

kudos for doing it for a living and fun, wrenching full time kills any desire I have to do it for fun.

That model of Yugo was based on the Fiat 127. Fiat 127 or 128 calipers may fit.

A bit like Frankenstein - it alive!🤕

A better clutch will have a spacer pipe that free wheels that the belt rides on that prevents the vehicle creeping until you rev the engine and belt always spinning.

what you have built is a microcar-go. they have a cvt then a manaul gearbox for reverse, at idle the cvt output doesnt spin, so should be possible for you. ivew worked on a few , there rare here in the uk but they exist.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO ! to bad you don't have a clutch pretty much takes it off the road

You have enough room under the hood to add a second Predator. You would have dual exhaust and dual carbs the hard way. Now how complicated could it be?

Now for a road test

I know you are good at fab/engineering but you may want to check out robot cantina's honda insight predator build or even the saturn sc2 kubota diesel

Hey Justin, awesome video, but how could we contact with you? Thank you

Runs like a lawn mower

👍

Your driver pulley is on backwards

Does the Predator engine have an alternator strong enough for the Yugo electrical system? or will you have to rig some other charging system for the lights and else?

The FIS Repower, in Yugoslavian Ultramarine. I'm curious about fumes whilst in motion. Venting or collective suffering Comrade?

Awesome!! My first car was a 1991 yugo by choice lol in 1998. Ripped out the back seat. Put a straight pipe with a 3.5" angled tip in the back. For the intake i used a k@n crankcase filter for a big block chev. I painted it ;ike a rally car. Fuel injected 1.3 i think it did 120

A CVT from a snow machine can take many times more power than that engine can output. Grind hard plumming on YT has a 100+ hp Engine hooked up to a similar CVT setup.

you could have tried a double v belt, two belts connected side by side

I cringed when you backed towards that closed garage door after just rebuilding the entire brake system.

One left brake caliper IN STOCK, right is two weeks out.

I'm surprised that the brake stuff is different from Fiat, like maybe a 127? This is pretty exciting progress. Would MS work on this engine? Or maybe there's a Microsquirt?

cube car golf cart registration?

Will Version 2 will be a Hyabusa Engine? 😊

1 - no mater what you do it can't be worse then what YUGO did , 2 - did any YUGO have a lot of miles on them ? lol

well u dont use a torque converter on a governed engine

fought with a carb setup on a predator i had...then i sold it

It'll be faster than it was with the original engine...
