Nitro Engine Cooling Head Modification

This is probably a 15 year old RC nitro engine that I found on ebay and bought it. It was really cheap so I thought why not. I'm planning to use it in an upcoming project, but it needs better cooling since it's going to be stationary. I had a cooling head that was bigger and that could work. I mount it on the lathe and brought it to the required dimensions and this is the result!

You should take one of these R/C motors and build an active cooling unit for it. building a tiny, tiny water pump seems like just your kind of thing.

[@nukester.]

mormon missionary of water cooling

[@drewcirino8130]

Nathan Boody you can't water cool them.. They require a decent temp to run proper... I had an sts 28 when that was a huge motor an anything under 285 it ran like shit

[@savvassavvas8075]

KA w wnW

[@phantommedia9964]

Just use a desktop pc watercooling system

[@JasonBlack66]

already done. Checkout marine nitro engines for RC Boats. Infact, both Nitro and Electric motors for RC Botas are generally water cooled.

[@glass4600]

dude I just watch your videos because I live vicariously through you. i will never be able to be a good machinist. this is amazing

[@MrIdea]

I am also Making some awesome LIFEHACKS videos.... need your HELP... please check them out....

[@darealrulezbreaker9493]

2:55 damn, NICE work!

[@malldredge252]

2:00 is so satisfying OMG

[@hole1stdrillpresschannel]

Impressive precision

[@jmannetje1]

Marios Pantouvanos no, no, no. Johnny is an German in disguise...

[@NitroRCNerds]

jmannetje1 impressive fabrication but no understanding the advantage.

[@coldbloodedfasist5536]

make it water cooled!

[@MoePower2]

I've had two of that exact engine back in the days. One of them had the carburettor bored out to a bigger dimension, it was a lot faster than the standard one. Would rev mor and was more agressive from a standstill, but couldn't give it full throttle right away when stationary. This was one of the smallest kyosho engines when they were new.

[@patricksawyer9779]

Color me intrigued. Can't wait to see what this leads to. :D

[@SpecificLove7]

Nicely done

[@BOTAJELL]

Very cool bro !! I love this kind of stuff! Please keep up the great work!!!

[@freevbucks8019]

Finnally a well-balanced lathe

[@cylosgarage]

Can't wait to see what you do with it

[@RCGrid]

RC supercharger or turbocharger build?

[@johnnyq90]

I would love to, but turbocharging or supercharging a 2 stroke and on this scale isn't going to add anything in performance. A tuned pipe would work better in my opinion.

[@RCGrid]

johnnyq90 That's what I've read and understand, I was wondering if you'd debunk the theory of a nitro turbocharger

[@johnnyq90]

That would be nice, and I was searching about a similar build with no luck. On the other hand, a 4 stroke rc engine is a better platform for turbocharging.

[@RCGrid]

johnnyq90 That would be cool, you could even get a nitro rotary engine. Graupner / O.S. Engines used to make them years ago, but you can still find them used on eBay

[@roelwieggers]

They also make boxer engines.

[@MichelPASTOR]

Awesome ! Brings back memories of my 1/10 nitro Porshe :). Can't wait to see what you will do with it !

[@nixie2462]

Awesome! If I remember correctly, you also need a small copper shim washer for the combustion chamber to correctly seal. I too wait eagerly to see your next project! Keep going!

[@johnnyq90]

You mean between the cooling head and the glow plug? Yes there is one, but in my case I needed a much thicker one, so I made one out of brass off camera to match the distance that the previous head had between the piston and the glow plug.

[@ghettoflyer]

Since the engine works more or less like a diesel, why not like a modern diesel have a convex dome on the piston and the glow plug be completely flat? Theoretically the fuel would burn more completely (as it demonstrated on the clear head wasn't completely burning) and the power stroke force would be more directly excreted on the center of the piston ( not to mention better seal at TDC = less blow by) Possibly creating a swirl as fuel/air entered the cylinder at BDC, because of the dish helping better mixing the fuel/ air charge?

[@samuelstanfield3029]

I wish the Kyosho GX12's we're still made

[@rmckelvy15]

Man I am sending my engines to you for rebuild😀nice work

[@Heatherder]

Youre an amazing machinist

[@tfpproductions3686]

cooling head is often called heatsink btw

[@luisantoniomarrega3713]

Pequeno motor fantástico! Rio Brasil

[@ryleechurch6278]

Converting a nitro engine to run on diesel would be definitely be cool.

[@robot797]

the compression sounds okey just reseat the head also i love the gx-12 it is nearly industructable

[@colemanbinyon7063]

Traxxas 3.3 for life

[@DerKrawallkeks]

Nice, I'm really interested what your project will be, cause as you might know I've been into nitro rc for a long time;) for a stationary engine, this might not be enough cooling, depending on your application. I use such an engine in my submarine and passive air cooling wasn't enough, but you'll see

[@johnnyq90]

You are correct, it's a not a huge improvement over the original cooling head. Nevertheless, I will add a fan on the flywheel and with a duct it will blow air into the cylinder head.

[@DerKrawallkeks]

Yep, that should work. Any kind of air movement will improve the cooling effect by a lot! Hehe i'm looking forward to that project

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

I guess you're going to use it for a micro generator.

[@HoverFreddy]

This little engine had the luck to find the right person: It will have a prosperous future :-)

[@kasraa4840]

oooohhh thank you very much,thanks for your help,and you answer.hope to find it.

[@ben1000bhp]

Most of the cooling actually comes from the fuel going into the engine for Nitro engines, still a good idea with the bigger head though.

[@7th_dwarf542]

wow, I wonder how the movement pattern for tapered shape is achieved in a reproducible way... Awesome display of skills.

[@Neobaneo]

You do incredible build videos bro

[@davideulivi]

Fantastic work! How much torque is needed for head bolt tightening?

[@johnnyq90]

I have no idea, I just tighten them by using a reasonable amount of torque and it just seem to work.

[@PerryCodes]

Damn - this makes me want to be a machinist!

[@bobhunter9642]

i remember that between the "camicia"(in italian cause i don't know it's name in english...) and the cylinder head there was a brass(or copper, i don't remember well) washer to seal the gap for better compression, at least in the engines i had, those engine can reach very high temperatures at high throttle, and also very high rpm! the downside is that this fuel is very aggressive and corrosive... maybe you need to change some parts to get better performance

[@joanmanuelpichardoreyes7203]

Me encanta la mecánica y me compro uno. Pero ahora noce donde comprar el combustible que alguien podría decirme en qué página lo puedo comprar.

[@manitoba-op4jx]

How about you make a dedicated water cooled engine with a radiator?

[@amitchetry5208]

can you provide the details of work that u have done on lathe like how much facing how much turning etc?

[@ralfclems7014]

Motor O.S. 3.5 cc 2.5cv 37ooo rpm! The King!

[@sng2162]

Can you make a beginner motor tutorial so we understand the basics of it being made to design our own

[@victorbonilla6005]

HELLO Nice Job , But i will like to know how i can Build up the Calburator(How i make one,what i need to Do it)

[@mrpoopybutthole6314]

What if you put thermal paste between the engine and the head?

[@freevbucks8019]

Nothing really

[@Lillebroor]

You should make a supercharger for it =) I experimented with putting a coppertube between the cooling fins. My plan was to make it a watercooled engine. But, i was 12 or something and had no clue how to build the pump or get a small radiator. You could totally do it =)

[@perez9619]

Superchargers don't make enough power to justify the cost of going through the hassle, some would even argue if it even has an effect since the exhaust and intake are open at the same time allowing for any "boost" to leak out the exhaust pipe. Some say "tuned" pipes alleviate this but there's no valid proof on the concept. RB innovations data is complete horse shit if you were going to mention them.

[@brownmechanic3865]

Would like to see a 3.0cc or 5.0cc mounted on a bicycle running off gasoline or even diesel

[@rcshenanigans8886]

I’m gonna take a gander guess, that your using a CNC lathe

[@Ferelmakina]

yo johnny, what do you do for a living? I've been wondering

[@lanaturalezadeguatemala9390]

Como puedo conseguir un motor como eso me interesa

[@tpilot1]

Great if you had the tools and the bit of knowledge to do it, I would of just got the GX15 head as its longer and a straight fit, But I could of done with something like that just a few minutes ago as just had to cut 4 bolts to get the head off due to some idiot threaded the bolts,

[@kiranasodha3358]

[@123deliçavuş]

the engine didnt have any copper shims doesnt that affect the engine compression?

[@neptuned4746]

Fantastic work. I'm in the process of figuring out how RC engines work and this helps. I've actually designed a .21 1/8th scale buggy engine in the quest to create more bottom end out of that .21 size Most are around 3hp and I would like to hit the 4.5hp range and set the Diffs up with heavier oil and gears. I just find these engines very interesting. Again great work you're doing. ;)

[@chriswolford9274]

I have a 3.3 revo truck I can not get it to run cool it wants to run 290 I have turned it best I can could use some help please

[@jorgeluis494]

Saludos Jonny exelentes proyectos. Mi pregunta jonny vendes estos proyectos

[@bluehandsvideo]

Very cool! I really enjoyed that. Thanks!! Mike

[@DeeFPV]

the kyosho GX-12 was made in 2002 the Engine was a verry fast nitro Engine back in the day

[@gavinmcvey8177]

Cool stuff

[@maisumcanaldedesenho8462]

nao sei pq mas verr essas maquininhas ai de deu sono

[@SandeepVelpula]

you did it.... awesome

[@Sunitapatidar9090]

Hi Johny only one question , in this engine spark plug always glow or working like as 4stroke engine answer please

[@bugbomb8048]

sweet..... excellent work excellent video

[@cyclicredundancy16]

Don't add another bigger cooling head. It will hide lean and rich mixture indications. It will be hard to tune.

[@TaradMobile-my3qj]

เครื่องยนต์จิ๋วมีขายที่ใหนครับ,ราคาเท่าไรคับ,หาซื้อได้ที่ใหนคับ

[@curtisunderdue8503]

nice work Jonny..how can I start myself to learn to work with lathe and or a milling machine?!

[@johnnyq90]

You can do it by watching videos on youtube, and reading forums and blogs. At least this what I did. I'm not saying that you'll become a machinist, but it's a way to get started.

[@larahadington1370]

So amazed

[@luisermert]

are you like an engeneer or something like that?

[@breezetix]

you should build a rc engines from making parts

[@jamespalmer9556]

can you grab the flywheel and stop it? whilst its running ?

[@robertlizardi9544]

James Palmer yes but you might damage something

[@jakobcampbell2303]

You should turbocharge one ;)

[@blaqkyellow]

Thank was sick nice work 👍🏼

[@sobrerodas2381]

how do i get such a motor and how much does it cost ?? I am set in 3 units

[@atomic4440]

Use it as a compressor for a turbine rc build :D

[@Zombie2snipe53]

What is that tool you put on top of the engine and why do you need it?

[@lennicrafter8902]

Zombie Snipes It's to start the engine

[@memztv956]

it helps ignite the glow plug google it it is interesting

[@davidhill5621]

Way bigger chamber , i guess you can run much higher nitro content, the more nitro the cooler she will run also

[@DrGPaw007]

can i make a nitro skate board with this engine ?

[@tfpproductions3686]

DrGPaw lol great idea not like it'd break the other day.

[@wandersonoliveira7438]

Onde você compra esses motores?

[@HOTSHOT-ls1bc]

Omg I gotta say I live the drill lol

[@DanielMartinez-ip4wp]

Where do you buy that type of engine

[@robot797]

were cant you buy it is the better question look on ebay or gragslist or marktplaats there litterly everywere

[@nicolleguerra9437]

hola soy de el salvador como hago para conseguir un motor de esos

wish i had a lathe.

[@kasraa4840]

i loved it.how can i buy this kind of small engines?and how much do they cost?(i live i italy)

[@johnnyq90]

I got mine used from ebay and believe it or not, it came from Italy! I got it for 30 euros including shipping.

[@gamingnepal2133]

How can I get this kind of nitrogen engine

[@ranjanchaudhari4658]

I do hope you know that it's not good to run those un-loaded. Put a prop on that thing.

[@sohagbiswas314]

I am Bangladeshi. I liked this engine. Me buy engine. What is price please

[@user-xd6rk5il3o]

Where is the spark plug? :O

[@muddboss5700]

what kind of fuel do them use???.. im just now wondering that

[@johnnyq90]

RC glow fuel, also often called nitro fuel, is a special blend of three main ingredients, plus a few minor additives, used in radio control model engines. There are several different blends of glow fuel available, suited to different types of engine and performance requirements.The three main ingredients are methanol, oil (Castor or synthetic) and nitromethane, the latter being the one that puts the word nitro into so many rc terms (nitro plane, nitro car, nitro engine...) even though rc glow fuels don't always contain it.

[@muddboss5700]

Didn't know that.. thanks

[@SaracenArrow]

Is it alright to use typical car fuel? Also what CNC machine do you own? Great video. Thanks.

[@johnnyq90]

These engines work only with this type of fuel. This is not a CNC. It's an optimum tu2004v manual mathe

[@rileyferreira1121]

johnnyq90 in other words nitro usually 20% oil like a 2 stroke

[@derpinbird1180]

I think i had that same engine in my rc car for about 5 years until i broke the main pin on the crank

[@jojoferrari2356]
