Barbie Car Turbo #2 Testing and Driving on the Oregon Coast 4K

Subscribe to see how the drift trike was built on Tuesday! / @grindhardplumbingco
In today’s episode of Grind Hard Plumbing Co we finish turbocharging the Barbie car, build two custom downpipes and put the contraption to the test!
We took the barbie car to a ATV park on the Oregon coast called “Sand Lake” and sent a rally session.
Next step for the barbie car build will be to get the engine running as fast as possible NA then add new go kart tires and wheels. After this the Barbie Kart will be at 100% and we will film a new speed test video. Then it’s time to start our next barbie car that will be more easily turbo charged and put down some serious track times!

Try supercharging it, a VW smog pump makes a great SC for anything less than 300cc, and an AMR 300 for anything over 300cc

This is great. I passed you going through Portland and was questioning the little pink Barbie car on the big car hauler trailer. So fun to see it show up on KZbin. Cheers

[@ericpaulgoldie]

Dude, whoever does the videography/editing is a champ! Great drone shots, smooth tracking shots and the color correction/lut is awesome! Keep on crushing! Plus the car is cool!

[@berttracy90]

A pull through design works fine. I think you had too much oil pressure into the turbo. Was pushing through the seals and into the engine. Thats where that big puff of smoke came from. Also some header wrap on the exhaust pipe to help keep the heat in the pipe would help with spooling. Put a regulator inline to the turbo. And fatten up the jetting. I think your onto something. 100psi into the turbo is not needed. If its building 7psi u only need like 10-14 psi oil pressure. The volume looked good tho in the test.

[@PWNAGE703]

Tru the pump is probably just too strong. They should get a smaller restrictor and I guarantee that turbo will spool better

[@jtj250]

I would put the turbo a little closer to the head and wrapped. Thin oil with less pressure. Fattin up jet until it doesn't pop... Check plug after full throttle run for jetting indicators.

[@kontrolledkhaos4853]

This is what I'd try too

[@elesjuan]

Yeah, more fuel and a smaller orifice for the turbo's oil supply.

[@sdkenclosures2892]

Yes he needs a restrictor on the oil input

Looks like an awesome time was had. I think the Barbie car is super mint, doesn’t matter if it has a turbo or not it’s awesome. I will seriously have to get to my old man’s house to go through all his old Mazda rotary stuff and I’ll let you know what I can find if it’s not too crazy expensive maybe I can ship it your way.

[@hxntxrtxylxr]

I like how it stances itself just from you being on the car, makes my day

[@itbsection8980]

A BIG thumbs up fellas for your honest no discrete builds, Great Job!

[@MuscleVsTuner]

+1 for the Majin Buu sticker

[@brandonbrown3600]

restrict oil pressure to the turbo to 10-15psi, Make a bigger exhaust pipe from the flange on the engine to the turbo ( more air in more air out near stock size is to small), run bigger jetting on the carb, and wrap the exhaust from engine to turbo. Running the fuel lean for to long and your going to burn the engine up. Keeping to much oil in the turbo is going to blow its seals. A few simple changes will go a long way.

[@evanenglish1695]

The turbo would work if u tuned the carb for extra fuel and you probably had to much oil presure into that tiny little turbo i think the experiment isint over yet

[@slomaro-mz9mk]

I was thinking they probably just threw it together and did no extra fuel just ran the stock jets in the carb so that bitch was probably super lean

[@florascent9ts]

@@slomaro-mz9mk yo i was just thinking this lol

[@oliverscorsim]

@@florascent9ts in a draw through you shouldnt have to make much changes to the jetting (vacum goes up when boost comes on) mine i ended up going one size smaller and a crazy staged needle that opened up like crazy about 3/4 throttle. Pull through is easy just a bad set up in general check out all the 80s turbo bikes you see blow through and efi not really much pull through. Pull through can make more power but to do it it wont idle or run any kind of okay at anything other than full throttle. Simple solution efi the mot simple is blow through.

[@benjimelling2035]

You need to put a 2stroke engine probly a 50-85cc and then it will go sound better as well 😀

[@poptartmcjelly7054]

That turbo was way too big, you need something much smaller than that, Guessing by the sound this one was only getting probably 10k maybe 15k rpms. And it needs at least 50k to give reasonable boost. Something tiny like a turbo from a 1.2 turbo diesel might work, those turbos are about the size of your fist.

[@Deiphobuzz]

Id look at a Smart forTwo turbo, even smaller, think they are 600cc.

[@oliverscorsim]

Sorry man the less cylinders you have the weirder things get with turbos just like in the intake you get a really big pulse at one time. Same deal in the turbine side you get a really big spike in pressure the xr650r guys and crf450 guys are using turbos for 2-3000cc cars and getting fast spool times. Alot of kits with the garret gt17 for the 450 that hit boost threshold before 3krpm. Mine is half the displacement of his with the same turbo and I get it by 3k no problem. His issue is he's not getting anything into the engine. He's taking that boost in the intake and let's say 14psi intake valve opens and it drops into vac and before the pressure wave can catch up and shove air into the cylinder the valve closes.

[@oliverscorsim]

[@efsedan8191]

I love the coast, one of Oregon’s many beautiful things

[@NPCSN]

Ive got a few questions: Did you guys alter the compression ratio in order to prevent detonation once it reaches boost? What cc is that engine? Where does the engine fall on the compressor map for that turbo? Thanks, looks great, looking forward to more videos.

[@yjjeeper1]

They obviously researched none of that or it would have worked, everything about the set up was wrong. Looked fun to try thought, with much better though invested anyway.

[@Baldys_projects]

Thumb down because of turbo removal 😢 y'all should have installed a boost gauge and it needed a larger main jet for the extra air/psi from the turbo because without it it probably didn't even spool a psi or 2 because I didn't see the wastegate arm move under load at w.o.t ...
