Micro SUPERCHARGER on the TWIN Cylinder 4 Stroke Engine! - First impressions

While I'm waiting for parts to arrive for the 4 cylinder 1/6 rc car, I decided to install my micro supercharger that I made almost 2 years ago. Of course I didn't have any expectations as in order to produce usable boost, it would need to spin at hundeds of thousands of rpm. Nevertheless, I tried with a rather small pulley (I could make a larger one but don't have a belt for that) and I got an engine that san't running very well. The dual carburetors don't help either. My plans are on the end of the video. Anyhing you can suggest is much appreciated.

[@MrGrimCarnage]

I was watching the smoke coming out of the exhaust when you were revving it, when it gets to the higher RPM, the smoke decreases significantly, indicating a lean condition. I've raced nitro buggies for many years and this is one of the traits that I watch for during operation, to determine if the tune is correct. I couldn't tell if the carbs on this engine have a low speed and high speed needle, but you are definitely running out of fuel under full throttle, when the engine revs up. You can try richening both needles 1/2 to 1 full turn, and see if that helps....if there are no low speed needles, then it may become too rich to idle properly. The pull through carb that you showed at the end should alleviate the problem, assuming that it's large enough for this engine.

[@evansallee603]

I would agree with you! The carb adjustments make a big difference. I would also recommend if possible adjusting the ignition timing. This is because under boost the fuel air mixture in the engine burn quicker which could be potentially fighting the piston downward before it hits top dead center.

[@ronbradshaw7404]

You may be right. There is the fuel pressure entering the carb too, HAS to be over the total boost pressure otherwise, fuel starvation will occur...

[@ravensfan7986]

I was thinking the same thing since I know that with all that extra air getting into the engine you need to compensate by adding more fuel. If he was using the same carb as before that could be an issue if the jets aren't large enough

[@TestECull]

They do have LSN adjustments....standard TN carbs...but the problem is more that he's running them blow-through than it is anything else. No amount of carb twiddling is ever going to get it to run right; these carbs just can not operate properly under boost conditions.

[@TestECull]

[@AutoAddictionMedia]

Would it be an idea to put the carburators before the supercharger? That way the supercharger "sucks" the air/fuel mixture through the carburator, so you won't need to worry about backpressure etc.

[@johnnyq90]

Yeap, that's the draw through setup that I'm considering doing next ;)

[@jimmyschwarz9075]

You Here?

[@bigpig187]

Thats what he means at 11:13, it's called a draw through setup

[@random123name1]

As he said, the mixture leaning out is probably the result of the current carb setup. Whenever the supercharger delivers any kind of boost, only in high speeds, the pressure will reduce the fuel flow. And this is highly unlinear, exhaust backpressure could work but is hard to adjust. The only quick solution is carbs upstream of the charger.

[@ericmaulijr.2493]

With blow through you Need to add the Boost on the fuel pressure plus 0.3bar, there are special valves for it for real Cars. Problem will be finding them in this size. One Good side effect of the Draw through would be that the supercharger gets cooling/lubrication for longer runs. In This case This would be the way to go

You may want to add a pressure tap before and after the carb to measure static pressure. It's pretty easy to use some clear tubing to make a water monometer to operate at those pressures. You can do differential pressure too with that setup. Might help you determine boost issues at different RPM.

[@AVI8ER]

At first, I was wondering how the exhaust in that little engine would be able to adequately spin the comparably massive turbine. Then I saw the belt and was like "ooooohhhhhhhh...supercharger. Like it says in the title." I see you improved the gearing in a later video. This is great stuff!

Draw through ruins bearings and reduces power. It's never worth it.

[@ChamonixMatrix]

For power readings there are two options, 1st you could use a brake that can rotate around its axis and use a load cell or other scale to keep it from rotating the force from the load cell or scale can then be multiplied by the distance to the axis to get the torque. 2nd option is using the engine to rev up a flywheel with a known inertia. Measuring how fast the flywheel accelerates can then be calculated to the power being put in to the flywheel

[@johnk756]

That or have it spin a small motor (using it as a DC generator) and use a potentiometer to vary the load on it and measure power output.

[@ayxanmusayev832]

[@adamramirez7626]

Would be pretty difficult as the engines is super small and its al little harder to calucate the friction if the brake which is very important for this type of measurement... i would put a high efficient electric motor to it and put one after an other a electrical consumer to it untill it starves

Great to see that you are experimenting with force induction again ;) To test the power output, why not use a brushless motor as a generator, a full bridge rectifier, and a serie of big resistor

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

This is my first through as well. Just need to properly calculate the losses in the diodes and in the motor. Then again if it is just A/B comparisons maybe the absolute power produced is not as important as relative difference. In other words have the changes made increased or reduced power output.

[@JonLinde]

Make a motor mount on a short length of rails. (20*20 alu v-slot extrusion?) Let the motor pull some propellers and use a load cell to measure the pressure the propellers can generate.

@@JonLinde Good idea also, to get a simple power difference, but I think you meant traction instead of pressure.

this exactly, needs to have boost feeding the fuel tank not exhaust, that way the carbs will be back to their atmospheric pressure tuning

[@kleetus92]

@@FaultyMusic No, you need more than just boost, other wise the carb, tank, and manifold are in equilibrium pressure... how's fuel supposed to flow like that. You could absolutely use manifold pressure for an external say electric fuel pump to bias the fuel pressure, but without an external pump it's useless. This needs to be a draw through setup.

[@gadgetdeez7069]

In order for that to work, you'd need 2 check valves with very low forward pressure. One tied into exhaust and one tied into the intake and y'd into the tank. The intake wont provide pressure at idle like exhaust will, and if the sc were to work, the exhaust wont provide the pressure that the boost can. Still sounds like irratic tank pressure to me tho.

I was modeling with 3,5ccm off road cars (mostly picco, rb and os speed engines) for years and i'm pretty sure the engine runs rich in lower rpm's but leans out in the top end as the forced induction produces boost. So lean it a bit in the lower end (small needle screw in the carb) and richen it up a bit in the upper end (big screw where the fuel nipple is located)

Sounds like it chokes..... not getting enought fuel at high speed..?

[@failmasterizer]

Too much or too little. without a boost guage and fuel pressure guage no way to really tell for sure

[@iStracchino]

@@failmasterizer no need for gauge, need an exhaust gas temperature sensor (egt)

[@ronnywestad4892]

@@failmasterizer YEah hard to tell, but I guess thin bcs when it revs up and chokes it stops smoking.. in the same way when he pinch the fuel line it revs up before it dies that indicates rich mixture... there is alot happening between low revs and high rev mixture and ignition so checking exhaust temp etc would be a good idea

[@failmasterizer]

Very true

[@iStracchino]

@@ronnywestad4892 -in the same way when he pinch the fuel line it revs up before it dies that indicates rich mixture... , u mean LEAN mixture... anyway the missing of smoke at high rev mean that the mixture is lean

Thats a turbocharger

[@rileybaldwin4906]

Atleast where i live

[@WestOzRC]

@Riley Baldwin aaahhh no it is not. A supercharger is driven by the crankshaft of an engine, usually connected with a belt, therefore requires engine power to run, while a turbocharger runs off exhaust gases created by the engine. You've been learned. :)

That’s really impressive how you did all this cool work by hand, great job! But are you thinking about putting that engine in like an RC car or something? That would be badass!

[@eloymartinez9970]

You got all tools you need, nice job

I used similar tachometer in my garden tractor engines. I think they are pretty darn accurate

[@thesoroosh7613]

Too much work and effort, God bless 👌

[@lngstryd]

That is three kinds of amazing! Well done.
