Chevy 454 Motor - First Ever Startup

[@Godscountry2732]

look in the yellow pages for a rollin dyno,tune up shop,speed center etc.,they can see what the motor is doing,most will set it up,well worth the investment

[@Godscountry2732]

set it up with about 36 degree total,all in by 2000 rpm,thats a good compromise with 91 octane.Make sure you have full throttle when you install linkage,in car.happens a lot

[@71corvette]

@ccexped That type of break-in is only required for flat tappet cams. This motor was built with a retro-hydro roller so no specific break-in period is required.

[@71corvette]

@queensplazasouth I hate to burst your bubble but good engine builder knows how to set timing WITHOUT having the motor running (it's quite easy), and if you know how to tune and prime a carb that part is easy to get close to the final setting as well.

[@techoverloadx]

Sounds nice. Just wish I caould find someone around here to tune my vette that sweet. Timing and carb outta wack, 77 stingray with original 350 bored 40, voodoo cam. Sounds awesome but not putting out the power it should.

[@xxxxclutchxxxx]

@SuBN01z3RaT i've had 2 friends put a twin turbo setup on a civic.. one a coupe one a hatchback and both of them were pulling mid to low 11's all day ON STREET TIRES.. so once again.. i dont know what research you've done, but its 100% possible and it works quite well actually.

[@Countryboy830]

@71corvette You're right... It's called Static Timing and priming the fuel system. I've won lots of money on bets that I could start a complete fresh rebuilt engine on 3 turns or less.

[@xxxxclutchxxxx]

@SuBN01z3RaT you can doubt all you want.. ive seen it done and ive seen the turbos done multiple times.. if you're willing to throw the money at it you can do pretty much anything you want

[@Vette31991]

Nice motor!

[@xxxxclutchxxxx]

@SuBN01z3RaT they dont need to push that much boost. 9psi a piece is enough to put up numbers..

[@madtownmadman]

Hey, I'd take a small block powered Civic any day. Thats the only way to own one.

[@So0nerMag1c]

correct me if im wrong but, gas can next to battery and electrical wiring... maybe not a good idea?

[@xxxxclutchxxxx]

@YOUONLYLIVEONCE08 i dunno what research you've done but any DECENT 71 corvette with a 454 is gonna cost a lot more than its gonna cost you to take a honda civic hatchback do an engine swap and throw a couple turbos on it.. that puts both cars upwards of 500hp and the civic is gonna have the weight advantage every time. Im not arguing, id rather have the domestic muscle. i personally have an 83 chevy pickup with a dollar or two spent on the motor. i just wanted this guy to think before he talks

[@deanschool]

@71corvette got that right!

[@camaro4542u]

@queensplazasouth im with u thats bullshit

[@Countryboy830]

@Countryboy830 Oh, you also have to prime the oil system especially when you have hydraulic llifters.

[@foto1LE]

Whatever car that goes into, it'll beat any import.

[@anderson5908]

is it goin in that what appears to be corvette in the background?

[@SuBN01z3RaT]

@xxxxclutchxxxx only way i can imagine it working is the exhaust from 1 turbo dumping into the other like they do for diesels i dont see 2 cylinders spooling any decent size turbo

[@Dieselme]

How much would it cost to build something like this from a bare block? Cause i wanna drop on in a stingray im lookin at, and two can the average guy do it?

[@xxxxclutchxxxx]

@SuBN01z3RaT i think you're missing the point.. 1 turbo or 4 turbos.. all i was saying at the beginning is that there's plenty of non American non 454 vehicles on the street that could eat this motor for lunch every day of the week.

[@MegaScott]

Sounds like the starter is still engaged.

[@VOAOURKZ]

@xxxxclutchxxxx a civic? a supra? thats a big jump there sir point is this will beat imports, even the ones that are a little built but the ones are the insanely built, now theres probably gonna be a problem there

[@SuBN01z3RaT]

@xxxxclutchxxxx i still think it would be easier to just run 1 bigger turbo then fabbing up twins for a 4 cylinder i dont see twins helping with boost lag being there not sequential

[@YOUONLYLIVEONCE08]

as one piece yes, but if you buy the body, and then engine, it wont be that bad, but yeah, too bad he has the top rated comment

[@rockstardrinker95]

hey i got a 95 chevy 1 ton dually with a 454 in it, ive got a true dual 2 1/2 exhaust on it with 24" glasspacks, and the air cleaner flipped for a tiny bit more air , i heard stock it pushes 255 hp and 405 tq how much to do you think the exhaust system ups those number's? let me know thanks

[@72troy455]

Not much. 10-15 HP if your lucky.

[@queensplazasouth]

bullshit, you had that running before. look how smooth it's running, timing, is perfect, etc.

[@aleksankazakov]

this is V demn 8

[@SuBN01z3RaT]

@xxxxclutchxxxx so if you throw a couple of turbos on a honda civic how the hell do you expect them to even spool a 1.6l is going to have trouble spooling any decent size turbo without a a decent amount of lag

[@SuBN01z3RaT]

@xxxxclutchxxxx what did they throw on 2 dsm turbos? only turbo thats small enough that i could see it spooling 2 of

[@chevydually454]

It'd not good enough? As far as this video is concerned, it's more than enough.

[@Shawn_Magara]

@stc2008lt Not if he puts it in a import :P

[@aidanhd]

is taht engine 4 a chevelle?

[@kpj200]

i looks like its almost ready to drop in the covette

[@xlelanolx]

I'm calling bs on "first start" as well, any good engine builder breaks in the cam for the first 20 minutes. Unless he has a retro roller or something. hmm. Regardless, it's a nice engine!

[@funkyspaceinvader]

Yeah sure it will. It will also return 4 miles per gallon...! Who cares about red-light drag races? Any 5 year old can floor a throttle and drive straight. Good cars are all about handling... and imports are good at handling.

[@YOUONLYLIVEONCE08]

@xxxxclutchxxxx but... you do know everyone, (ok almost everyone) watching this video will take that 71 Corvette over ANY import, is stc ignorant? maybe, but that corvette will cost a fraction of a DECENT 1000hp import, and still hold it's value, just saying

[@VOAOURKZ]

@xxxxclutchxxxx in the end its still a civic

[@RaceIsOpen]

nice

[@440hondaex]

engine not motor now thats day 1 stuff

[@chevydually454]

3yyar, Maybe that's because he does know shit.

[@xxxxclutchxxxx]

@VOAOURKZ a civic a supra a lancer a jetta, i dont care.. the point is still being missed.. you kids have some seriously blurred vision

[@WhiteNuklz966]

@queensplazasouth if you know how to build a motor you can set er up really good before hearin the son of a bitch.

[@camaro4542u]

i dont care who u are u will never start a motor first time like that even this guys full of crap

[@xma456]

pfff DUH!!! lol
