We make a see-through gearbox for a Lada 

I was going to say the same thing

Isn't it a horendous amount of particles !!! WOW !!!!! :(

@Paul O'Connor it's an old car what do you expect? It's Not a Toyota.

yep same thought here...that would be pretty interesting.

I also was wondering if it was just aluminum shavings from cutting the holes in the casings. A magnet on the bottom would be a good way to find out.

jea i agree too

With automatics often being little more than a stack of planetary gears and clutch packs, there wouldn't be much to see from a housing cut-out.

@@teardowndan5364 cut a hole/window into the torque converter and then . .oh crap, it's spinning. Run some crazy video stabilization software on it? lol.

@@colinstu You'd probably need to use a high-speed camera with 1/10 000th shutter speed or faster and a sync mark detector of some sort.

or a Continuously Variable Transmission

And put them in the transparent lada

@@bradprimeaux8443 Hell yeah! And also use the clear wheels.

@@bradprimeaux8443 And drive it to the vehicle inspections.

@@Peter_Valoczi with a dog driver

I have thought about that myself

I’m not sure they really care. Didn’t see much oil in that box either….

@@SPW812 agreed. chances are the box was past its useable life anyhow before they hacked it up

Yep

🤔🤷‍♂️

looking at the colour of some of the shavings, i think its unlikely. the first gear sybcro/dog clutch ring in the gearbox looked well worn, compared to the one on second, for example

Yeah, unless it was damaged in the first place before they cut it. Running it dry for a moment of filming wouldn't have damaged it. Seeing how there was still lube on the gears when they ran it I don't believe they flushed it.

@@annonymous7440 thanks

This video has already been

@@TheMrSlavjan do you have a link to it?

Yes! That would also require a very high speed camera to capture all the action. Way too much going on to see with the eyes alone.

pretty much the same as any other engine would with a turbo added. boost etc would have to be carefully kept in check as it may not be able to handle as much boost as a built/designed for boost engine, and compression ratios will be higher so will only be able to handle modest (up to about 10psi at best) of boost anyhow without knocking, and that assumes being able to get sufficient fuel into the engine (rejetted carb for example). adding a turbo to a diesel is, in some ways, a SLIGHTLY simpler affair, but not much as similar principles around fuelling etc apply, but the engines are largely unchanged internally (certainly on older cars of similar era to the Lada) boosted or not

Prety sure they've done that before, one I recall was an electric job done with a starter motor, made boost, power went up, just as a turbo should...

I'd like to see what's called a "turbo-compound" arrangement. Instead of the turbo being used to cram more air-fuel mix into the engine, the exhaust turbo is directly driving the flywheel of the engine. It will be directly converting heat energy into mechanical energy, thus recapturing some of that lost heat. The turbo will have to be bolted in where the starter is currently located. Vlad will have to come up with an alternate way to start the engine. The turbo-compound idea was used in the DC-7 airliner. When it worked, the DC-7 had amazing climb and cruise performance. But, the metallurgy of the time wasn't up to the task and it would fry the exhaust valves all too quickly.

Imagine an automatic...

And yet folks continue to go back there to eat. I'll never understand.

Broken gasket

not sure how well it would work on a car. especially a petrol car. theyre effectively a 'blockage' in the exhaust, from memory, so a relatively simple concept

Wouldn't that cause an enormous amount of backfiring?

A most worthy life goal. Salutes for your ambition!

never seen a Ranger with a mitsubishi gearbox. the earliest ones sold in Europe were rebadged Mazda B2500's so used a Mazda transmission. besides, visually most gearboxes look very similar

dog box as in no synchros? or a sequential type one? many people think theyre the same thing, but theyre not. theres a reason the parts in a synchro box are called synchro rings and dog clutches. essentially all you do is remove them/stop them working (which is the main reason race/rally cars have to throttle blip/rev match on downshifts, to align everything so the gears can be selected going down the box. basically the same as driving a manual without using the clutch to change gears)
