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

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
It's so great when people 'get it'. Thanks for the comment.
your welcome sir :-) keep up the great videos
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
yep.. Motor trend does a series with dyno comparisons..they NEVER have problems LOL
Southern Mechanic I completely agree with you as well.
am i the only one on the edge of my seat watching this?? AWESOME
you and me both
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
I was on the edge of my seat when his AFR was in the 16's and he kept opening the throttle...
srd240yo I hear ya, I was on the edge of my seat, too, especially after they figured out the hat issue!!
yep i was laying down
I think the troubleshooting added so much value to the video! Thank you so much for this look inside the dyno operation world! I've always wanted to see a sort of candid day engine tuner video like this
such a special feeling when you get your new engine dialed in . CONGRATS BROTHER
Wow, I sat here and watched the entire video. Its really cool watching the troubleshooting and then finally seeing the end product. Great Video !!
Great video! Very knowledgeable folks and really enjoyed seeing them troubleshoot through all the steps.
My favorite episode on any TH-cam 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
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.
That moment you realize a half running engine makes more power than your daily
Right?
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.
Even when your daily is still a V8 and its still making more power
This has got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I can only imagine the feeling of satisfaction of being the one to create that.. or own it.
I loved seeing the troubleshooting,Eric!!! Thank you so much for these videos!
By far the best video in this series so far. Patience and persistence paid off in a big way in the dyno shop.
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.
This car is going to be no joke. Can't wait to see future vids
honestly one of the best videos on youtube. I just watched the whole video glued to my seat, so intense
That's a great thriller, kept me on the edge of the seat the whole time :) Good job, loved the tuning guys!
This was so cool, thanks for sharing Eric. I love learning :)
I literally dinoed a sbc 350 in that exact cell last Tuesday..and I had mr maiot sub in for my aep class, hes a freaking genious. I love my school!
Awesome! So glad it worked out Eric, sounds amazing too and looking forward to seeing it drive!
That was awesome! Nice footage and loved seeing the dyno pulls. These guys really know their stuff... brain surgeons of engine tech!!
That was intense, I was shitting bricks, I was sweating profusely but.....they did it......they finally ate lunch.
LOL :D
That guy on the Dyno seems to really know his shit. Good job guys!
Congratulations Eric. Happy things finally came together for you.
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.
My favorite ETCG video ever. Could not stop watching. Where'd the evening go?
-"Dad, what are all these numbers on the fridge door and where is our macaroni art?"
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!
Thanks for posting the full video problems and all. Very interesting to see the guys working on the engine in the dyno room.
That's some nice numbers there Eric!
This was an excellent video of the process of tuning an engine for maximum power.
Not really. 90% of it was fixing an error.
This must be one of the most exciting dyno videos I have ever seen, proper detective work, I couldnt take my eyes of the screen for even a moment. I love it!
Awesome troubleshooting session, very cool headed, pro level dyno operators👍
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
Miguel de la cruz Awesome.
nailed it.
severe lack of CB.
Lmfao!!!!! Nice!!
"Trust me you're gonna want that cowbell on the track"
-B. Dickerson
That guy Nate seems like he lives in that dyno room, he knows his theory tho haha. I'd trust him with my motor.
most anticipated video for me. nice job! I'm going small twins on a SBC using a fitech tbi efi unit. Your build reminds me of the details I need to remember. Thanks ETCG!
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.
This may be one of the most interesting videos about tuning on a dyno on TH-cam 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.
I love your comment. Thank you!
I echo this sentiment.
+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
Have a look at Nicks Garage, does old school muscle V8, dyno runs etc.
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
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.
Mr. Mailhot is a fantastic instructor with a ton of knowledge and experience. One of my favorites I have had for sure!
This is the stuff, not just some random horsepower figures. Lots of problem solving and useful info for many viewers. Keep em' coming Eric!
It cool to watch this I'm currently going to unoh!
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.
opened my eyes too lol
It’s because he’s doing a turbo blow though setup. Carbs are a LOT simpler than any efi system.
that was an amazing video! That sound just makes me feel a little tingle inside lol I hope all is going well with it!
subscribed.....this was absolutely brilliant. as a weekend wrench warrior, and a engineer, this was fantastic to listen to the troubleshooting discussions
"well we finally ate lunch" i laughed, i was dealing with similar symptoms, took me ages to figure out as the project was 2 hours away from my house and I only made it up there once every few months
I vote this as the best video your channel has ever produced. Primarily due to the inherent life lessons; cooperation, communication, perseverance, among others. Great job Eric. Can't wait to see that beast run.
Thanks.
You were not lying yesterday! I really did enjoy the video! Not much has changed since I graduated there 7 years ago! It's refreshing seeing actual real world experiences on an automotive channel! Keep up the good work man!
Thanks!
love that you put up the full video. Too many people on internet stuff make it seem like they never make a mistake and everything goes perfect every time when reality is more like this video depicted.
beautiful numbers man
When I first heard you fire that thing up I'm like... Nahh, nobody is going to know that's a sleeper. 😄😄
This was amazingly interesting to watch, great video!
Sounds soo mean man, freaking wicked engine. Nice work and can't wait to see more.
I don't like American V8 engines, I don't like carburetor + turbo, I don't like single camshaft, I don't like 2 valves per cylinder.
But what a great build, great people and thanks Eric for sharing this with us. Thanks from the Netherlands!
I'm happy to hear that someone knows how to intelligently disagree with a build. Thank you for that.
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.
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
Disregarding the analog torque output meter is also very important. Just run it again and again...
Thank you for uploading the whole video. I have enjoyed it a lot.
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 ;)
The progression of thoughts are "nice rumble, sounds powerful", "beginning to climb", "oh yes", "really?" Oh wow", "holy jumping cow", "that's mind blowing outrageous" and then roll about laughing like a demon when you realise it's still got more to give.
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.
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!!
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.
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
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
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.
That computer seems to be sort of drive by wire, so it controlled the amount and limit of RPMs.
Impressive numbers, congratulations, you must be proud. Very interesting to see all the troubleshooting being done.
that is a bad boy there Eric you're going to be passing everything up besides a gas station
Well, it's broken in now....
And congrats on blowing by 875K subs !
- Eddy
Eric, I really enjoyed this video. I always like watching a master at work, weather a dyno master or hell someone who has mastered the drive thru of a fast food chain, was a enjoyable experience. Stay dirty!
I'm really enjoying this series even though I was just a guy looking up normal car repairs! Thanks for the edutainment!
Gimme fuel, gimme fire... Loving this !!
GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE!!!!
Quench my thirst with gasoline....
36:21
Eric: you got a water bottle?
Nate: *smiles like a child that has just been given candy*
This video was very helpful. learned something very valuable in this video. I loved the trial and error. Also how they finally figured that such a simple thing such as direction of air flow could have such a crucial effect on how an engine runs.
You learned how not to tune an engine
porting an polishing is an art...and can DRASTICALLY increase engine performance if done correctly...better the airflow, better the power
I have never been to a dyno test before. I really enjoyed the time and effort you put in the testing. Wow talk about chasing ghosts.
As i was sitting here watching you guys taking every possible stab at figuring out what was wrong as soon as i thought about that hat and how rugged it was and may not provide the smooth airflow into the carb...boom u guys figured it out...wish i knew earlier so i could be a keyboard warrior and say i knew it before all u guys :)
oh please!
I think that hat was designed for EFI applications like you'd find in a stock Fox body so it will fit under the stock hood.
1000th like!!! Whhoooohooooooo that's cool!! It's all apart of the process
amazing engine! thanks for all the videos eric ive been watching for years and i give u major credit man! SO many people complaining about how long everything is taking you can tell they never did a build before! great job man keep up the good work!
Thanks for that. You're right, to do this correctly takes time and a lot of work.
This was such a great vid to watch and see things progress on to victory!
EFI, Haltech and Tuning Fork magic
and maybe e85
Peter N and a bit of turbo yoda too.
go watch double unicorn if you want that.
At 6:42 Frische puts his hand on the hat and says,"This drives me nuts." LOL
haha sharp
That does look like a flat hat.
Found the issue almost right away, but went down a different path... life.
So true, I giggled :)
WOW, that was sweet!! after all the videos we finally see a tune!! What a beast!!
I enjoyed the video thank you very much for showing the whole thing it was nice to see how you we're troubleshooting the engine trying to dial it in thanks again
That's quite the amount of blow by .... Wouldn't surprise me if by "powering through the lean spot" a couple dozen times hurt a piston or two ...
"So I haven't broken 500 horsepower"
"Ooow but you will, you willl..."
Hahahaha Awesome!
Thanks for showing real world and not editing out all the crazy problems we can run into.
I don't comment much, but I've been subscribed to you since early 2009. It's amazing seeing all the accomplishments you have made and watching this channel grow. God has blessed you Eric :)!! Im sure you recognize it already lol but he really has. I'm proud to be one of your many supporters.
Indeed. I'm humbled by it if I'm honest. Thanks for sticking with me and for your comment. Both are very much appreciated.
lol "the heck with all that stuff my kids drew"
Just label the power curve "stomposaurus" and... good to go: everybody is happy!
Why is this guy leaning on the an engine that's is running at full lean? I'm over hear yelling at my phone........ my blood pressure is about 2000
Todd Coleman good thing they are pros
because they are idiots
Because morons
Woah😹 your heart is on dyno
He says he can’t “power thru it” moron
I'm happy you included all the headache that is a reality with custom parts combinations and even some stock vehicles with oddball problems. This is the reality of troubleshooting and trying to make a living when the machines will not cooperate.
This was very interesting! Watched every second of it. And the engine is just brutal.
And this is why dyno tuning starts! at $700/day.
pfft i paid 600 and got my car back better than the guy i paid 1400 too.
dyno tuning is about way more than the cost it's about going to someone who knows what you've got and how to deal with it.
a long road+ tools+ knowledge=free tuning
Frigglebiscuit theres actually a law against road tuning in my state. Well not road tuning specifically but a law that can be applied to road tuning.
kyle hubner wow....ill be sure to stay in alabama then.
+Frigglebiscuit Ive riden in the passenger seat of many cars doing exactly that. Just need someone to drive that can follow directions.
Do you have a boost referenced carb?
great video. enjoyed watching the process of figuring out what the problem was. when I used to do those things all I had was a timing light and a tach/dwell meter. oh and my ears. good job.
Amazing! So cool dialing it in and troubleshooting. Cool to see the excitement in the dyno guy once ya'll figured out the stupid had issue...and boy howdy does that thing sound mean! With all those dyno runs you definitely broke in that engine for sure! Very very cool!!!!!!!!!
Amazing school glad to say im a past student.
He's - trying to find a safe space?
very interesting watching the problems you had and the process to work thru them. nice video
oh man have i been waiting for this one, excellent video eric!
*He should have gone for lunch when you offered.also Eric this motor gets a cracked piston ring groove and you end up stripping her down again. I'm from the future.*
ofc the fuel dist. makes some cyl's run hot then on down the line..
Something ain't right internally.
Awesome vid. I went to UNOH and was instructed by both of those guys. the Dyno display looks alot different from what I remember. Do you go there often for Dyno runs?
Eric traveled to get this engine build completed and is not in his own backyard so I doubt he has done this at UNOH before.
same here
You blow alot of motors up to?
Was interesting (not to mention, suspenseful!) watching how pros approach the troubleshooting process. Having a dyno helps, but it still takes skills and knowledge. Impressive numbers; I see traction challenges in your future.
So glad you left in the troubleshooting, other vids would have skipped right to .. look its perfect.. makes us shade tree mechs feel like we ain't doin so bad :) and off chance things can even happen to the best,, awesome vid !!!
Oh man i totally forgot Eric. The problem you were having could have been related to the spark plug gap.
As boost increases, the spark plug gap needs to be decreased.
he was my teacher at unoh
Hope you kept your receipt
on a scale on 1-10 how good did of a teacher was he
@@sandchar 12
man this sound so nice, so beautiful
I won't lie, I'm kind of disappointed to miss out on the top end in the awesome detail you've covered the bottom end with. Scheduling issues happen, though; I can live with the rest of Oliver's assembly. Keep up the great work, Eric!
Yea, I guess I'll just have to build another one to cover the entire assembly. ;)
EricTheCarGuy a little something something for us GM guys? Perhaps something... four wheel drive?
Not 4 wheel drive, but definitely GM. th-cam.com/video/5cblScHKnHc/w-d-xo.html
