Go to Mega Squirt, complete control over the fuel injection AND ignition (battery powered) to be variable and integrated throughout all rpms. Simple 3d graphics on a laptop. I'm glad you figured out about oil changes because of contamination, I've seen a lot of newbies trash Triumph and BSA engines because they thought once a month is ok . On the mikuni carb, did y'all leave the fuel in the carb when done racing? You supposed to drain out the whole fuel system ( carb ,pump and lines) and flush with gasoline the nitro ethanol mix is extremely corrosive.. Do you check your fuel /nitro content with a hydrometer ,barometric pressure , air temp and humidity can cause variations in the precinctages making inconsistent runs. You should rethink the ethanol / nitro fuel you are using. The advantage of ethanol is the power doesn't drop as the engine temp goes up but doesn't have a real advantage until being use under very high compression , you should get things sorted out using Klotz or VP race fuel

They need to do some researching on how briggs and stratton sets up there commercial efi engines. They have coil on plug which is powered and timed by the computer. They use a hall effect sensor on the flywheel and a delphi computer which is already tunable with an intake that retains 2 motorcycle style fuel injectors. Just put a reluctor wheel on the 670 and use all those parts from the briggs with bigger injectors. It will all fit under the plastic cover

I think you might be thinking a mega squirt or similar would be a lot more trouble than it really is. All you really need is a power wire, map signal, rpm signal, wideband, injector and ignition harness. After than it's all data logging stuff. You also can run dual sensors and use the starter ring gear as a tone ring and a single post as a tdc indicator of you're worried about adding a reluctor wheel

[@dragpix]

efi fuel reg, efi fuel pump, efi hose, fuel rail, charging system, tps signal (unless going alpha-n), air temp sensor, coolant sensor. benefits of going EFI in this case are not worth it IMO. making an engine that was only ever designed for carb to efi is a big pita and cost/time adds up quick. easist would be a holley sniper single/two barrel but they don't support meth.

Drain the oil and you can put it in a crock pot and heat the oil up and it will boil the alcohol out of the oil. On my drag bike I run an oil pan heater and preheat my oil to 140°F before I start it. Plus the EFI will help with minimizing oil contamination.

I would recommend a Microsquirt Efi kit, they run about $380 for the ecu and universal harness but do some research they are very easy to wire and tune and you only need a crank signal a coil and a fuel injector and you can make anything run, i wired one into my f-150 with a 4.9L and it wasnt very hard being only 19 years old at the time😂😂

[@PuckFNT]

You can also tune when the PJ adds fuel (not just how much fuel it adds) by shortening it - the shorter the PJ sticks into the venturi, the higher in the RPM range it will start to add fuel. Just make sure you stay roughly in the center 1/3rd of the diameter for a nice strong signal :).

[@srxspec2872]

The primary spring controls most of your stall speed, not the weights. The weight profile will affect the stall speed to an extent, but if you just put lighter weights in you're going to slip the belt.

I can download the PCB design and get it printed from whoever an American company, Canadian, Chinese it doesn't really matter, I can make it.

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

Based on how the clutches are shifting with no load on them (revving it with the wheels in the air) I suspect that you aren't even close with the clutch weight adjustment. It should be shooting up into top gear (closing the primary) pretty much immediately if you don't have a load on it. With this setup you will likely have a decent hole shot, but it's going to stay in low gear way too long and probably not reach top gear at all. I suspect that you will have to remove the weight from the inner hole and move it to the outer holes on the clutch arms, but you may be able to just add weight to the outer holes. It's a good idea to put a black marker on the primary clutch before you do each run and that will tell you how far it is shifting. Ideally you want to be hitting top gear at the exact time you cross the finish line. Ideally you would also remove the primary spring, close the clutch all the way and set the belt in place. Then mark where the top of the belt sits so that you know where top gear actually is... otherwise you are kinda just guessing. There's a TON of tuning between gearing and clutching... and every time you change one thing, it means that you have to change the other to get the most out of your setup. I suggest learning about your secondary clutch and how to tune it. It is usually the quickest way to make an adjustment at the track and is much better for fine tuning than the primary. It can get pretty complicated with multi angle helixes (cams/ screws /ramps)and whatnot... but if you know the basics, it will help. Also... if you start engaging at a high rpm (high stall) you are going to start breaking a LOT of stuff on that car.

[@jimciancio9005]

Your Primary spring/s are also what determines the stall speed of your engine! That's why they make so many different pressures to them. Your weights will mainly effect the shifting timing along with the secondary spring and helix angles. I would have left the weights alone at first and went up the next spring weight of the Primary and nothing else. I tuned these clutches and I know what your trying to accomplish here. Just letting you know that the last thing you want to do is change the weights until you've changed the springs. If you're still having issues or not what you want? Then you change your weights. Jumping off a cliff in order to get home faster isn't very wise! Just trying to help you guys out here on this topic that seems there's not very much good information about on how to properly tune a CVT system.

[@ryanbarrimore9703]

Another suggestion with the addition to the wastegate is to have a blow off valve fitted. When you are pedal to the metal down the quarter mile and you are under a lot of boost… you cross the line and you snap that throttle shut…. Where is that 15/20lbs of boost going to go? Fitting one of these will also help with turbo spooling and making the turbo more efficient. This is an awesome build and I can’t believe how nitro is that hydroscopic! Keep up the good work.

[@APerryNation]

@CarsandCameras . When testing stall speeds and take off in the shop you guys should sweep the floor, then sweep again, and again. blow it off with a high powered air hose.... then get some track bite. This will allow you to simulate the conditions that a track should have in the first 30 feet or so.... dust on the floor, as you guys noticed, allows for a lesser friction, which can allow the engine to gain rpm's easier. with track bite it allows you to see how the engine may bog down in the initial launch due to track conditions. you might find further carb or other tuning needed after this. Just a thought.

The progression of this build over the years has been an epic journey. I really hope that some of your other builds receive the same level of long term attention and dedication. I'm particularly the most excited to see the next video on the Yard Dart. My top couple requests for that thing all have to do with Ergos, followed probably by bigger front tires and regearing it to do about 60. On the ergos front, lay the driver back/down more, and pick the feet/pedal box up and place it above the front suspension for better fitment and not more steering wheel between the knees. Lastly, bring the shifter between the legs and just up and to the right of the steering wheel. Oh, also, make it so you can left foot brake, that way you can bang clutchless rev-matched downshifts while braking at the same time.

You may want to add a lot of intake manifold volume to this. There seems to be a lot of boost-pulsing. It should also smooth out the pulses going to the carb too and get you better more consistent fueling. For fuel injection, check out Speeduino! its SILLY cheap and theres a whole support forum for it with TONS of info. You could get a MAP sensor and run everything on speed-density with sequential spark and and sequential injection. Plasma cut a trigger wheel and bolt it to the flywheel, and have a real tuner tune it on the dyno! I want to see this thing SCREAM. The 2step would be a nice touch too, you could have it hold at just-under the stall speed, build boost, and launch with a button

[@racketmotorman]

Totally agree , the volume of the ducting between turbo and engine needs to be at least 1.5 times swept volume of a V twin engine , otherwise the turbo will go into surge everytime both intake valves are closed

[@turkeyboyjh1]

You could run micro squirt fairly easily I’ve set a few up on 420cc predators but there is definitely a steep learning curve, also nitro doesn’t play nice with methanol and nitro it will poison the sensor over time, egt gauges will get you way further, and going to blow through will work a lot better you just need a boost referenced fuel system

You could attach an old speedo cable to the power jet screw and run it back to a knob you can twist on the dash so you can tweak the mixture when your at high speeds at the track...

[@bfgvlogs887]

@24:09 It cracked me up when Ike was yelling while wearing the ear protectors

[@donay3773]

I would recommend something that would push more air like a velocity stack at the track make sure you air it right dead in the middle so when you at 60mph the air is almost like a ram intake will help the turbo spool faster

[@socialxperiment3162]

Man I’m so glad to see you guys taking a project this seriously. “It’ll be fine” carsandcameras jankiness can only go so far. And a side note, R.A.C.I.N.G. stands for “Rowdy And Cashless Idiots, Not Geniuses”

[@matthewsmith6330]

hey lads love the videos, im a small engine mechanic and know that briggs have fully fuel injected engines available and also have dry sumps they're incredibly responsive

[@larrysilverman2099]

Use a spark plug anti fouler to give you a better afr reading, it’ll allow the mixture to stir instead of rushing past the sensor.

[@mikebrown6357]

Adding a small water heater element to your crankcase, inside the oil, will evap enough of the methanol out that you won't have to switch to gas to cook it off. We've been doing this for years In our pull truck. Alcohol boils off at 180 degrees.

[@Mikehawking-v5z]

And also use a little bit of two-stroke oil like castor oil or beaoil they mix very well with it and help keep parts smooth and not sticking

[@E-FC3S]

Ignore Holley Sniper comments and all that. Way overkill. All you need is a 1. Speeduino ECU (dirt cheap stand-alone built from an Arduino, runs megasquirt software and is very capable. The Volvo 240 on my channel runs it) 2- Any random throttle body with a TPS (eBay bmw gs1200 throttle bodies- they are cheap, have a TPS and fuel injectors built in) 3- two junkyard LS coil packs and 4- any IAT sensor and MAP sensor plus a bit of time and wiring. EZPZ and you’ll never go back. Enjoy the power of not being limited by control.

[@E-FC3S]

The GS1200 throttle bodies (think 2012-2014) are dope. They all are cable driven, standard rubber boot connectors, fuel injectors built right in, and tps all in one little neat package.

[@Torspd2]

A vacuum surge container on the vacuum line for the boost gauge, of whatever creative design y'all can come up with, should help keep that needle from oscillating so much. Worth a shot.

[@seanbragg1696]

You can also run pipe from fan shroud to the carb for more draw on carb and cooling charge

[@danielfischer6820]

One thing you guys , can do when done runing the M5 is to rig up a hose To a can of WD-40 to your fuel line and run it all the way out of fuel . While it’s runing be holding down on the bottom on the can . An when the motor starts smoking turn it off.

[@marksmithson1414]

I lIke how john is saying we all the time, when he is sitting up at the desk and Charles and Isaac are doing all the labor.

[@kclaptraffic]

Starting and stopping a motor on methanol is what creates the fuel in the oil. This is why on a sprint car they shut off the fuel to kill the engine. They leave the fuel off on startup (push off) until the motor is spinning fast enough to start then turn on the fuel. Methanol runs very rich so when you cut the ignition, the fuel washes down the cylinder.

[@natereinhold6180]

Two-step will spool the turbo too. So you're not only launching @ a higher rpm, but the turbo will be spun up near completely too!

[@oliverscorsim]

Really happy to see you listened to some of my suggestions try adding a Harley check valve for their power jet inline. Makes the fuel response instant instead of having to go up the line. A Dremel with a cut wheel can make a nice groove on a lean needle like a gas one add a pin with a small hole drilled into the slide and the fuel will now go up the back side of the needle like a lectron use it in the compound bike works great. You can also change the length of the power jet tube to change where it adds fuel. In your position shorter would be later needing more flow and longer would be earlier needing less flow. I might shorten it if I was you but not much. Ike kinda got it but not quite the power jet works off a low pressure yes but it's not supposed to be vacuum signal it's a low pressure created by the tube being in the way of the airflow. The air gets to a certain speed around the tube and creates a venturi effect. When adding them normally in multiples we use that bellmouth to adjust when it comes in as well as length relative to the slide opening. Check valves have different open pressures also hence why I recommend the Harley ones. For efi the best is fuel tech but a speeduino could do this with easy for $400 with everything but your intake design won't make power efi gonna have to get into actual intake theory there. Mainly keep them separate and have a big plenum. Runner length matters alot. Idk your specs but if I had to take a guess that intake like to peak pretty low for this thing. So big gains could be made there. Personally a good carb setup makes more power having gone carbs apon carbs and then efi then carb then efi then I settled with a blow through carb setup it gave me the best of both worlds. Drives like a stock bike with big cams and when you get on it over 1/2 throttle boost comes in quickly. It also just makes way more as the pull through carb leaves you with a situation where as you tryna the boost up it gets smaller and smaller. The carb that makes power is also the carb it has a hard time idling on. The 155cc bike pull through single turbo struggled to make 45whp with a 44mm carb went blow through with a 28mm and it made 50whp with 5psi less and a broader powerband. You really need to know carbs to do a blow through set up but all ram air sport bike carbs are already set up for it.

[@isaacsnyder9479]

I have a suggestion for you all. Have you thought about adding Vertical gas ports to your pistons? I am unaware how much blowby your getting but due to the oil it seems like a lot. Its a pretty much free upgrade if you do it yourself on a mill or lathe you may want to check it out. Fruit for thought.

[@silentdeath9237]

Build a container that you can put under vacuumed to boil off the moisture in the oil then you can filter the oil and reuse.

[@brandenwilson5586]

Awesome intro! "This is getting expensive" perfect way to put it!

[@seldoon_nemar]

if it's straight water contamination, you could always heat the oil to 215* on a portable cooktop. just enough to evaporate any water

[@bradley3549]

For this size engine, you can build a pretty simple dummy load using either a water pump or a couple of big truck brake rotors. Would allow you to do a lot of testing under load right at the shop for very little money/time to set up.

[@PheyuckYu]

Fuel Tech FT450 will work for what you guys are doing. Boosted Bois are using it on a single cylinder go kart with a turbo successfully.

[@taptapindustries2580]

For Fuel Injection System: Suzuki SV650 and SV1000 run fuel injection from 2003 onward. They are V Twin motors and really good bikes 🤙 as far as I know you can get after market computers to tune them too. As your running turbo probably need the system from the 1000 🤷. Awesome work and video as usual!

[@jamieleeper8215]

I was thinking the same thing, but with a harley. The Vance and Hines tuner I have on my 07 dyna (fuel injected) has boost options as well as spark and fuel maps.

[@Shortzy54]

24:00... LOVE Ike yelling with the ear pro on. hahaha

[@jamesrust7896]

I ran a 670cc Briggs V twin on a microsquirt. Whatever you do run from Ecotrons. The Microsquirt took a ton of work to get to run, and never really sounded perfect and getting odd-fire to run right with no way of getting a cam sync was a huge pain. Think the power train lead after me ended up swapping it for a Haltech and had better luck, but they also machined a cam pickup into the rear cover. Had to waterjet a custom 60tooth wheel to run off the front crank, cherry hall sensor for crank pickup, ran LS coils, jeep 3.6 injectors since that’s about the smallest injector you can get easily, gm map sensor and intake temp sensor, innovate Wideband which gave us constant issues and should of been swapped with a Spartan or something better.

[@jamesrust7896]

I believe you could also keep the stock ignition and feed the microsquirt the tach signal off the shut off wire but you won’t have any ignition control. And you might have to run the injectors in batch fire but at the rpm your turning it really won’t matter. Injector timing isn’t that critical at high rpm.

[@scottj1218]

I'm glad that power jet is helping out, I've seen as many as 5 power jets to a single Harley Davidson drag carb, also a velocity stack will speed up the air through the venturi drawing more fuel

[@jjacobsensnake]

True DIY I would source individual parts together with a MicroSquirt. If you guys are looking for a more Plug'n-Play scheme I would look in to Ecotron or UAVenginesystem. Whichever way you take, keep up the good work!

[@stevemacdaddy9909]

I often wonder if you tried those split fire plugs. They have two spark points on one plug. They are expensive though.

[@bryanwhite5819]

The rail is by far my favorite project on the channel

[@hankyost2399]

Again, the dragster is my favorite! Please keep up the hard work fellas! I wanna see 575 in the 8th mile!

[@sheamccolley9988]

Hey guys! love your stuff. I look forward to every Mon and Wed night to watch what you all are up to. I love what you guys are doing with the drag rail. I think the torque converter weights set is going to be a great improvement in you launch and 60-foot time. I noticed when watching your video today that your exhaust pipe opening looks like you could be scooping air with the way it is angled. at 80- 90 mph that could really scoop some air. you might want to check it. just a suggestion. Stays safe! and GO TURBO!

[@timwilkinson2797]

UK here ! Loving you blokes !! HA more please !!! Cheers !

[@Ellington_Industrial_Arts]

Run it on a MicroSquirt! EFI Source sells a $260 module that would be more than enough, 2 step, the whole nine yards. Speeduino is another cost effective EFI option. Having a legit timing curve, would do wonders... You could pull timing as you add boost, just like you SHOULD.

[@jamessidebottom9706]

we used to reach back and adjust the carb in the box stock class back when i was younger

[@bryanparent1888]

Just remember when it comes to clutch tuning what you do to the primary affects the secondary not to mention there are a veritable size springs for the primary and secondary so that they work together instead of against each other or not at all

[@bsims9048]

MicroSquirt! I have a turbo go kart that uses MicroSquirt for fuel injection and ignition timing. I have a few videos on my channel of it running down the street at 10psi. This video is like deja vu... I started down the carb path and will never use them again in a turbo application. The learning curve is a little high but if you start off with fuel control only, it shouldn't be that bad. You can find a 650ish efi motorcycle throttle body with most of the sensors you'll need off ebay (TPS, MAF, coolant temp, air temp, etc). Find a generic trigger wheel and sensor for it and you should be set as far as components. The software will take a bit but there's tons of support in their forums. Reach out if you'd like some help!

[@timboslice1984]

If you haul the rail on an open trailer. With carb open it can pull fuel while going to and from track.

[@michaelthomas788]

Pretty sure on all those CVT transmissions it's not just the weights you have to change the pressure on the spring too that's why they have different colored springs each color is a different spring pressure causing the clutch to stall later or grab harder

[@Sp00ns655]

you could make a dash mounted power nob adjuster if you put a servo motor on the valve, and used a potentiometer on the dash or steering wheel to control it.

[@LeadfootOnline]

Need to do some spring work in the clutches to really tune it. Lighter weights and the same springs will change how it shifts up. Do the dyno, find your rpm for peak hp and tune the clutches so the engine stays in the peak range while accelerating.

[@robc7812]

ive had that set of screwdrivers, they grip great till you put too much pressure, then the tip cracks off but the philips does grip till that point
