Special thanks to UNOH: www.unoh.edu
Also thanks to Kevin Frische and Nate Mailhot.
As you can see, things didn't quite go as planned. It seems to be the way with this engine. It fought us at every turn it seems. However, at the end of the day, this is one heck of an engine. Had we had the entire day to play with the tuning, I'm sure we could have gotten even better numbers.
No worries because once I finish the car I plan to go back and put it on their chassis dyno to see what kind of power it makes at the wheels. We should have plenty of time to dial in the max power of this set up.
So kick back and watch us struggle as we try to make this engine produce some power on the dyno.
The final #'s: 574.7hp @5500 622.8lbft @4400 7.8psi boost

[@SouthernMechanic]

call me crazy but i would much rather see real world problems and people working to solve them like this rather than a perfect "throw it on the dyno and get numbers" video that most people put up because they edit out valuable information and scenes like this that can actually teach you ALOT

[@ericthecarguy]

It's so great when people 'get it'. Thanks for the comment.

[@SouthernMechanic]

your welcome sir :-) keep up the great videos

[@Bot.number.69420]

Yeah, makes me happy to see I'm not only one with less than perfect moddings and hours and hours of stupid fault finding. Just fixed ecu from boosted E85 ford sierra... alcohol melted glue inside ecu and solders rattled loose :O

[@deepsquat600]

[@srd240yo]

am i the only one on the edge of my seat watching this?? AWESOME

[@mehmetemingoztepe8733]

you and me both

[@MrBugsier5]

funny to see the fould finding proces, and thinking with that, talking to my screen here,after the miss firing, its the air intake on top off the carb, its the air intake!! then let them finding it out it was that! lol

[@kennethmonson]

I was on the edge of my seat when his AFR was in the 16's and he kept opening the throttle...

[@jjackson4829]

srd240yo I hear ya, I was on the edge of my seat, too, especially after they figured out the hat issue!!

[@nofoxgiven6315]

yep i was laying down

[@Akira_203]

That moment you realize a half running engine makes more power than your daily

[@ericthecarguy]

Right?

[@southpark11235]

The moment you realize a half running engine makes triple the power of your daily and even with the most generous estimates more power than the stroker you are building.

[@HotForgeChaos]

Even when your daily is still a V8 and its still making more power

[@PantherSerpahin]

Less than 15 minutes in and already scared of damage on the engine. 16-1 on AFR is just ASKING for trouble! Why this guy was trying to "power" through when the engine was saying enough was enough was scary to watch!!

[@JackS425]

PantherSerpahin it wasn't technically lean if you watch later in the video. It was missing and the air from the missing cylinder was causing the o2 to show lean but it was actually rich.

[@fabs1565]

I think they meant it was showing lean because the fuel was not being distributed correctly due to the horrible hat design. This was causing a very litle to no fuel mixture to some of the cylinders

[@PantherSerpahin]

Fabs 15 and all it takes is a bad fuel flow and suddenly you are going into pre detonation issue which can send rods and pistons through the bottom/side of the block

[@mattbiggs1524]

You really think a couple seconds of a lean condition at mid RPMs and at most the time 50% throttle will hurt the engine??? Im not worried at all, the AFR was right at every other RPM to cool the cylinders back down and excess heat was not an issue.

[@Nathanallenpinard]

That computer seems to be sort of drive by wire, so it controlled the amount and limit of RPMs.

[@charlesleblanc1956]

My favorite episode on any KZbin channel for a long time, really appreciated the work of Nate Mailhot. This proves how useful dyno tuning is after en engine modification or a complete build

[@latata381]

I think I knew what the problem was from the beginning it just needed more cowbell it seems that it couldn't get enough cowbell

[@optimistichorizon]

[@TheOnlyToblin]

It's great to see people, who know what they're doing , troubleshooting engines. You learn SO much from watching it. Especially since the dyno dude explains so well. I'm only 20 minutes in and I'm hooked. Great video for engine builders!

[@CaptainNero]

im so used to the pretty edited dyno videos i thought something was wrong. this video gave me a lot of anxiety but I'm glad it worked out for you, and you got one hell of a small block there.

[@kevinwoodcock7578]

By far the best video in this series so far. Patience and persistence paid off in a big way in the dyno shop.

[@johnmckamy6398]

[@numinous4789]

And here I though carbs/distributors were supposed to be simpler and easier to setup. Give me coil-on-plug and EFI any day, LOL.

[@Baigle1]

opened my eyes too lol

[@TanCalHan]

It’s because he’s doing a turbo blow though setup. Carbs are a LOT simpler than any efi system.

[@yardman0001]

That guy Nate seems like he lives in that dyno room, he knows his theory tho haha. I'd trust him with my motor.

[@WMDeception]

Congratulations Eric and Kalvinator Engines! Like many, I've been following this build with mounting excitement and it's great to see this come roaring to life.

[@JuicingDailyTV]

honestly one of the best videos on youtube. I just watched the whole video glued to my seat, so intense

[@1957kwick]

That guy on the Dyno seems to really know his shit. Good job guys!

[@fooey88]

Great video! Very knowledgeable folks and really enjoyed seeing them troubleshoot through all the steps.

[@gunprojects5398]

This may be one of the most interesting videos about tuning on a dyno on KZbin because many just tell you that a dyno gets numbers and they show a dude sitting down looking at a computer. Although this is a video in the build series you actually get some sort of look on what the hell these guys actually do to get an engine to run right. I mean it's different bc were talking about a turbo charged carbureted motor so there's a lot more involved than just a naturally aspirated application.

[@ericthecarguy]

I love your comment. Thank you!

[@8point4LitreViper]

I echo this sentiment.

[@gunprojects5398]

+EricTheCarGuy I actually just went through my first build just as these videos were coming out and they were very informational. Unfortunately I didn't have the experts like you did but everything turned out great considering I was all naturally aspirated. Thanks Eric

[@AuMechanic]

Have a look at Nicks Garage, does old school muscle V8, dyno runs etc.

[@jessemurray1757]

when tuning an engine, especially a boosted one, you should always "power through" the lean spot........ALSO, do it a couple times.....you know.....to make sure.

[@v8consumption]

especially during the most loaded area of the powerband. just hold it at 3k rpm while its 19:1 on pump gas. it will fix itself. lean is mean

[@finnroen2334]

Disregarding the analog torque output meter is also very important. Just run it again and again...

[@Captaindan7141]

This was so cool, thanks for sharing Eric. I love learning :)

[@ozzstars_cars]

That was some deep intense dyno drama in the beginning. Enjoyed the video. Shame we won't get to see how the top end was put together

[@ericthecarguy]

Yea, I regret that too. Next time I'll plan more time for shooting. If we didn't have all the trouble during assembly, I would have had time to catch it all.

[@Sirach985]

Didn’t expect to wake up today and watch an hour long video while two kids are running around in my house lol. The amount of detail and the steps taken to troubleshoot the issue had me glued to the screen lol. It is really interesting to see all that goes into this process. Thanks ETCG.

[@Ch3mG33k]

Eric, all of your videos are amazing fun, but this was one of the coolest and most informative videos you've done to date. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@scottfirman]

I miss the good ole days! Raw fuel,carborator tuning,reading plugs,changing dwell, setting points. It reminds me of my early days of automobiles. I witnessed the incorporation of throttle body injection,then fuel injection,stuff that was already being used in Europe on high end cars back in 1975. I still love the sound of the dyno and hearing that turbo on that engine is pretty cool. Fiddle farting around with something we played with back on my brothers cars only to take it off and go back to running without. When you eat drink and sleep engines,sometimes taking a break can unscramble your brain and get you to rethink an issue,sometimes something simple stupid,sometimes not when it comes to trouble shooting. Nice strong engine ! Like I said,I miss those days.

[@efremkiel8798]

usually we only see the end result and they make it look like it's easy to dyno an engine. this is a true video on how this process works. very interesting and on the edge of my seat. have to stock up on tires now eric ;)

[@flinch622]

Air is lazy, and resists itself going in a straight line, much less making a radical turn. The only thing that flat hat is good for is filter relocation for cool air intake/no boost as this experiment proved. A blow thru carby can be twitchy to setup [boosters and air bleeds need to see the same pressures on top], but this episode might help the injector fans too: velocity and wave effect/backpressure may tweak effective boost values seen in the ports differently along the rpm range. I'd like to see a dyno test with heads modified to chart flow or pressure seen in each intake runner on the heads to compare aftermarket manifold designs flat spots in certain rpm ranges on a typical v8 injected motor, but that may be more trouble than Eric would like to get into. [There's always cool looking stuff out there that doesn't actually make the grade]. Mainly - to compare front vs. rear cylinder performance VE at various engine speeds. I note alot of OEM manifolds always add extra intake runner length and seem to pay attention to minimum turn radius details to a point that seems silly to anyone who never turned a wrench or tuned anything.

[@Wtrxprs007able]

MrBugsier5 gale banks firebird

[@ericthecarguy]

You have more control with EFI granted, but you can make just as much, if not more power with a carb.

[@anthonywebber2211]

EricTheCarGuy yes EFI has a bit more control, but the reason I said gale banks Pontiac Firebird is cause it has a twin turbo big block Chevy and has a carburetor and he wanted to go 300 MPH, so power is still there with a carburetor

[@ericthecarguy]

Yea, carburetors are just fine for making power. I think it's just that most people don't know how they work, or how to tune them is the reason why they don't like them. Hence the reason I asked Mr. Mailhot in the video if he thought tuning carburetors was difficult.

Remember folks, Oliver harks from a time before laptop tunable EFI. Carburetors may not be any good in the modern world, but damn 440 actual KW is a bloody good effort. That's almost half a Megawatt! And he probably makes it on humble octane liquid gas. Awesome effort Eric.

Scares me when stuff like this happens. Don't hurt a man's brand new engine :/ Lean. Just add more throttle? Hold at 16+:1 AFR..... Skeery. This is like part guessing when you have a problem with thte car instead of diagnosing and fixing. Just throw crap at it and see what happens? 41:05... smaaallll boost leak lol. Commenting as I go here.
