The cone you speak of if usually called a spike. Some companies don't do this spike but the top tier header companies do. Stainless headers company markets this and says theres a huge flow difference. Interesting stuff

[@burntorangeak]

Fantastic. I'm glad you're tackling the bellhousing flange that Toyan should've just cast into the block. I'm kind of surprised you didn't leave a vertical plate of material to bolt it into the cage. Typically sprint cars have a simple plate bolted to the back of the engine that reaches out to the cage uprights in front of the drivers feet. Then at the front of the engine either a single plate, or a pair of wing type plates. All hard mounted to the cage with no vibration dampening.

[@timsane]

Hey, thanks for your comment! I build real racecars before so I know that my solution is not like the original.... but if you check the front and back surface of the engine, there is not a lot of space or at least a small gap to mount plates. The belt drive in front and belt drive for starter and supercharger are always blocking a plate... Thanks for watching

Wieder klasse Inhalt. Beim Lötzinn habe ich die Erfahrung, dass diese Löchlein entstehen, wenn du zu viel Flussmittelanteil hast und das dann quasi auskocht. Fliehkraftkupplung wird sich im englischen Sprachgebrauch unter besonderen Fachleuten sicher genau so etablieren, wie die mighty Biegelehre unter Elektronikern. ;)

[@heinzhaupthaar5590]

Nice project, as always. You know that these engines are more miniature models to look at than actual engines to power something though, right? They are quite low power and won't hold up very well, the crankshaft and the complete lack of in-between bearing points most probably won't allow for very much. But with those limitations in mind, if it's not about performance by any means, they're still kind of nice.

[@Todd_G_FPV]

I need to learn some of this! I love to build but never really welded since high school. Built a few projects over the last couple years but nothing on this level!

[@gunnarhansen9679]

This is awesome great job I just recommend changing wheels on the full size cars the front tires are a lot narrower and the side wall of the tires are slightly bigger

[@timsane]

Hey Gunnar, tires are always difficult as I can not make my own ones. I need to find parts which are as close as possible. The tires I am using were the best I could find - and even then, I had to custom make the wheels as the stock plastic parts were crap... Thanks for watching

[@richrinehart1083]

Tim, check all the different screws on the Dremel. Mine always gave me problems starting and I thought it was the cord but it turned out to be the springs that hold the magnets in place. On my Dremel there is a circular boss that has a "puck" with a small straight blade screwdriver slot. It has a spring that has one of the magnets attached to it. Mine wasn't holding the magnet close enough to the stator so I wouldn't start. I wish I could explain it better to you because I'm sure your probably going to go "What??"

Cool to see your (quick) progress on this build. Your workshop is impressive, I fear to make videos in mine because of the mess inside😊. You were courageous to direct mill alloy, I would have print one in place before, bravo ( just wonder why there is a slit between 2 parts)

[@timsane]

Good eye! I do not like that either and maybe come up with a Version 2.0 later. Often I do not draw pieces before, instead I machine and see the part grow. That costed a lot of time and money in the past. But I learn a lot through that process. Thanks for watching

You can burn the solder out. Use silver braze.

Hi Tim, great work as is your usual practice. How is the header attached to the manifolds ? Just the seals ?

[@mikesrcgarage]

Looking amazing! I have that clutch on my HPI Baja 5b. What springs are you going to use? 6,500 rpm, 8,000 rpm or the very high revving 10,000 rpm springs? 🤯👍

[@timsane]

Hey Mike, I do have the 8000 rpm springs. The engine idles at about 5500 and I wanted to have a decent acceleration. Hopefully they will work.

[@mikesrcgarage]

@@timsane That's a good place to start Tim. I've used the 8,000 rpm springs and they worked well! Love that engine mount and clutch bell housing! Keep up the awesome work!

[@jon-christiankaczor5384]

An equal length header where all the header tubes are the same length actually balances an engine out better on a 4 stroke especially a 4cyl

[@timsane]

i know 😞 sadly not possible and the tooling does not allow for shorter radius‘

[@mikethatguy27]

I wonder if using flux and soft solder the manifold together. When soldering plumbing pipe I've seen soldered joints hold up under extreme stresses but heat is what could be the killer.🤦🤷sorry I'm just running my mouth

[@olekaarvaag9405]

KZbin recommended this channel to me literally one minute after this was uploaded but I checked out some of your older videos first. The parts and cars you make are incredible! What is the ceramic coat on the exhaust for? I have never heard of that before. I assume it has something to do with heat and controlling the heat?

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Protection and heat. They’ve been using it for quite a while now.

[@timsane]

It is Cerakote and we apply that to many areas of our high performance cylinder heads and manifolds. It looks nice and has a technical function also - i love it!

[@6AL-4V]

The right rear tire will get soaked with oil from the nitro fuel due to the routing of the header. Should have extended the length Tim.

Some of the others that do their own machine work such as JohnnyQ, do excellent work and cool projects like yourself. That said, I really wish they would talk and explain. Even just a little voiceover would make his videos far more interesting, informative and even more entertaining. On the flip side, I get that it can be difficult for some. I'm a Grandpa and I really wish I took some non-academic electives in High School and learned machinery processes and how to weld. I've been wrenching on anything and everything I could get my hands on since I was a child. I even worked as a Nissan Tech, (Self taught, my education was in Exercise and Sports Medicine) before suffering an injury that limits my ability to wrench on large projects. I am now partially disabled. I wish I were more competent working with both metal and electrical. I'm not great with wood either. I joke that I measure 4x and cut 2x. Teehee! I plan on encouraging my Grandson to pursue learning these skills in addition to academic achievements. He isn't even in Kindergarten yet so I have time. He loves RC so we have common starting point.

Have a great day! Tim

[@TK_Mo]

@@timsane Back to your project. It is just that I've seen a few of these (not this specific motor but smaller ones) that have been put into 1/10th scale RC's. They all had gearing challenges. Even when using 4 speed gear boxes, 2 speed trans with a high and low gear setting. That TOYAN FS-L400 engine is rated for 1/8th scale application max. The max RPM is only 13,500 and it puts out 3.05ps (aka horse power.) In comparison, a 1/8 scale Dynamite .28 RTR Nitro Engine achieves 30,000rpm and 2.99HP. Even a small 1/8 scale 3665 electric brushless motor puts out 50,000 rpm and 3+ HP on 4s. I just don't see that TOYAN FS-L400 doing much more than getting that beautiful big RC to go more than a handful of MPH and take a minute to get up to that top speed. Maybe a 6 speed transmission would get it going decently? Here's to hoping I'm wrong! 🥂 I am also skeptical about the clutch. I admittedly don't know what RPM those clutch spring are rated to engage at? If you mentioned it, I missed it. My concern about a clutch like that on that engine is that you may not have many RPM's remaining after the clutch engages. Wouldn't using a normal but, beefy nitro clutch be be a better match? You did do a gorgeous job regardless in the clutch that you made. Absolutely brilliant! As you said, so long as your comfortable with potential or probable, IMO, failure and have realistic expectations for performance, it's a fun and very sweet project regardless. It's not like you can't put that motor in something else down the road and put something even more bad donkey (aka Ass) into that chassis. I'll be watching!

[@timsane]

@@TK_Mo a lot to discuss here... I will install an additional bad ass brushless to achieve a hybrid setup. Just make sure. Also the engine will be supercharged with REAL boost. I have realistic expectations and if it fails, i get back to the drawing board and make changes. As for the clutch: The engine idles at 5500rpm. There are 6k , ik and 10k springs from which i have chosen the 8k version. High enough above idle and hopefully with enough room after engaging. Those clutches take more abuse when installed on a strong Zenoah - so here also is a lot of confidence. There is some serious stuff coming, at least in my eyes. I am happy to have you on board!
