Maximum rotating assembly weight reduction - what will happen?

[@DatBlueHusky]

reason it didnt rev higher (if there isnt ignition rev limiter) is there is valve float, its kind of its own rev limiter. If you guys put in stiffer springs and billet flywheel, it will be even better.

[@volvo09]

They reduced the weight of the valves and the rockers... I bet the ignition module has a rev limit where it kills spark.

[@tyreserari4323]

And the crankshaft is of balance. That can also contribute dramatically.

[@charlesball6519]

The crank is no longer balanced, so that is also limiting the RPMs.

There is no valve float with these Lada engines, the valve springs are 3-4x stronger than modern cars, they're twice as thick. Lada engines have been known to rev to 11k with stock valve springs.

Maybe they did the smart thing and removed the same weight that is removed on the piston+rod. But i doubt that because they removed 2kg from the crank shaft....

[@freezinghotshot]

Weight isn't the limiting factor on max rpm. Usually you'll need stronger valve springs to keep the valves from floating.

[@AnalogDude_]

If done correctly it will be faster faster. It takes less energy to accelerate, pure physics. You start with flywheel.

[@AnalogDude_]

But changing the flywheel can make the car feel awkward to drive in normal traffic. So it will be multiple step process, before removing to much.

It was SUPER gard and took about 2 weeks straight to complete an entire engine by myself and send to assembly. But well worth it when your reaching past 15,000Rpms on a big V8 that should never be there at that piston velocity in the first place. Lube doesnt stick, shit get hot spots, its amazing its instant and its an engines death at full power.

[@kevinyancey958]

The rev limit isn't about the weight of the components. Rev limit is about airflow and piston travel. Reducing rotating mass will allow it to rev quicker. My advice is to port match intake and exhaust to plenum and header, carb to intake plenum, and use a less restrictive exhaust. If able, you could increase valve size. My 1.8L uses 40mm intake and 33mm exhaust, and revs past 8k. Prior to my build, it was running 32mm intake and 29mm exhaust, and would flatten out at 5.500rpm. I also increased the throttle body size, increased cam duration, and use a 3-2-1 header into 50mm mandrel bent exhaust. It out accelerated a 2L turbo from 0-100kph.

[@MegaDirtyberty]

The 4-2-1 exhaust is usually better at torques while the 4-1 exhaust is good for revs.

[@twoeightythreez]

The biggest change they need to make is to get a cam made with more duration and a tighter Lobe separation angle. I wonder if they could modify a Datsun L series cam to work in that engine? Even the stock cams in the Datsuns were a lot hotter than what this Lada engine probably came with. My L20b engine easily revs to 7000rpm under no load.

Weight reduction = engine response. Redline = valve springs, intake/exhaust porting, exhaust flow improvements, cam duration, ignition timing and carb jetting.

Using shorter stroke pistons and con rods and crankshaft and stiffer springs for the valves. Reducing the weight like you did here makes it quicker to get to the top end and doesn’t sap as much energy from the engine to get it up to speed. It will also make it easier for the engine to engine brake quicker due to the reduced rotating mass (the flywheel effect). To raise the rpm you have to shorten the distance that the piston has to move between power strokes

I used a Taunus weber from a 2L. The car smoked the tires even on third gear. The speedometer maxed out at 180 kph but the needle went past the markings at the bottom of the dial. I raced a brand new Volvo 240 turbo and it was dead even at top speed. My car was faster up hill and the Volvo faster down hill. It revved 3000 at 90 kmh(old school). It never stopped revving. I shifted at 7500 rpm to keep the engine intact. At 9000 it still wanted to go higher. The high compression 13,8 kgs and the cam was the difference. My radiator popped loose and hit the fan at 210 kph, that killed the engine, since I didn't have an oil heater gauge installed and the water gauge didn't react since all the water was dumped out. It was fun while it lasted and I smoked many cars and bikes.

I've seen someone do the math on lightened flywheels and it's largely affected by gear, multiplied by the gear ratio (better in 1st vs 4th). That's one reason it jumped off the line but had no advantage near the race end. The large problem induced by removing the counterweights is there will be a severe 2nd order harmonic, causing the crank to rock the ends up & down at 2x engine rpm. It's usually just vibration you feel, but it can wear out front/rear main bearings quick and shatter crank-driven oil pump gears (not chain/shaft driven).

[@Jdavid2890]

I wonder if the Summit catalogue carries any parts for a Lada?

[@1234567890CAB]

Especially in older engines, the revs are usually limited by valve springs. When the revs get too high the valves begin to float or stay open longer than the cam shaft is telling them to. The more float, the less power the engine makes, thus it reaches a balance point. Furthermore, cam timing is also a factor. It takes time for the exhaust to leave and fresh air to come in. However, there is less time when everything is moving faster. The cam can be degreed or positioned so that maximum opening is later in the stroke, providing a bit more time for intake and exhaust, but this decreases performance at lower revs. In other words, when the cam is advanced it opens the vales too late when everything is moving slowly, but at the right time when everything is moving quickly. Modern engines have cam phasers between the timing chain sprockets and the cam shafts that can twist the cam shafts using oil pressure to adjust the cam timing while the engine is running to keep the cam timing in the sweet spot for longer.

[@tomaszbudnik521]

Would be nice to do dyno before and after to see if/what difference in power engine makes. In theory like I guess reducing rotating mass should increase power but how much? Revving engine will not answer this question. I guess carburetor and intake manifold now are main obstacles for air flow preventing higher revs.

​@@CVLova Probably less torque, but in a different way that I'm not sure would be as measurable on a dyno pull.

Vlad, spassiba for yet another great video. Regarding the RPM limit, have you checked the Ignition system yet? Even older vacuum points systems can determine how much the engine can accelerate. Also the cam will be a concern. By the video, it looks like the engine is revving up easily until the limit is reached, and then it refuses to go further, hence my opinion is likely it's an Ignition limitation. An update on this would be great. Also, I suggest a video on how much power you guys are able to get from the Lada powerhouse. Turbo or not.
