@@Jacobtheunwise Yeah no its the other way around. Ive got friends in Bulgaria who know people with dynos. Garage 54 just isnt a performance shop, so a dyno would be an expense they couldnt make back without completely changing their service.

well they are dirt cheap over there. my uncle use to buy used Ladas for 50$a pop back in the end of 90s and beggining of 2000s. here in sweden they cost a couple thousand but in slavic countries you get them for a few hudred bucks. and half the shit they do is like common slavic practice. like i have heard stories of people doing all these things to their Lada as back in the day they where to poor to really afford repairs so you repaired it with what you got and because they where cheap shitboxes it also ment younger kids would get them and then obviously do stupid shit with them and experiment.

@@henrygoldberg1248 I don't remember, but for sure it will give the engine much more breathing room. Stacked (as if one going into the other) would probably hurt performance if I had to guess.
I did something similar when I was 11 or 12 with a lawnmower camshaft. I tried 2 things. First, I ground material off of the base circle of the cam and found valves with a long enough stem to get proper valve to lifter clearance. That resulted in .080 more life, but the same stock duration. That is when I took to welding the lobes to increase duration. To my surprise, it worked quite well. The limit was of course the stock valve springs limited the top rpm potential, as did the stock carb.
@@bradroark6036 Yes, when I was 11. I started working in my neighbors machine shop when I was 9. Learned to cut threads on a lathe that same summer.

One of the best channels on TH-cam for car guys. Absolutely no bs, you guys say exactly what you’re gonna do then you do it and upload the results. And you’ve been doing it for years, love you guys
Rather than aggressive cams, why not create a cam profile that increases low end torque, like a diesel cam on a petrol... all the power from idle to 3000 rpm. Loving this content ❤
Torque is more about compression. You reach a point on a gasoline engine where you simply can't cram in enough air without superheating it above gasoline's auto-ignition limits. You sorta *can't* make a gas engine pretend to be a diesel.
@dustinbrueggemann1875 I agree it's more than the cam,,, and more about compression, mitigating pre ignition and so forth. but at the high end, the engine cant also just spin faster just with a cam,... valve float and so forth.... what i mean is a cam purely to optimise torque, long duration short lift, attempt an increase in volumetric efficiency ... stock cams cover a wide range of rpm. Race cams cater to high rpm power.. how about them torque cams 🤣
@@liamkenny100 I haven't seen a tuner shop selling torque cams, but maybe the stock cam is the closest that it gets. Every time when you increase the duration or lift of the cams, you are usually shifting the torque curve to a higher rpm, because you are reducing static compression and increasing dynamic compression. Even if they made a cam that favors torque, in those snow conditions it may not produce better results, because it's the torque that causes the wheel spin at low-mid range rpms. Maybe fitting a smaller intake/carb or head with smaller ports could have increased the torque due to increased air speed.
Definitely revisit this in the summer. Make another flywheel made of lead and a cam with an even more aggressive profile, with slick tires in the rear, Rev it up and dump the clutch, and now you have a drag race Lada.
An easier way to get higher lift with limited machining facilities would be to grind material from the base circle, leaving the lobes as standard, this would give a large tappet clearance when the valve is closed, adjust clearance to normal setting, then you will have a higher valve lift, easy...
I agree,that's 1 way it was done long ago.widening the lobe points would make the open time longer.but then the power moves up in the rpm range.this stuff they are doing is great round table discussion stuff add VODKA to the mix and you might get some great fight footage,haha it might has worked better if they just welded a section of iron pipe 1 1/2 inch sliced 8 ways welded to the top ,then blended to the base circle?that way the height is consistent.
That requires fixing the rest of the geometry. Keeping the same base circle eliminates all of that. You don't need to do it as ghetto as they do but it's definitely not easier that a welded cam.
I'm a female but I really love your channel , I had a Lada once and really liked it a lot , wish I could find another one some day , Vlad I think you are a really fun great guy
Bonjour à toute l'équipe du garage 54. Cela fait plus d'un an et demi que je suis abonné à votre chaîne et franchement j'apprécie beaucoup la traduction en français grâce à l'IA.

I love these guys. Their videos always soark my imagination. As an American enthusiast my imagination and excitement is often lowered because of everything is so expensive. Often i am thinking " well i will never be able to afford this modification". Then all excitement and joy goes out the window too. Its refreshing to see these videos. And learn new things that i can try myself without spending alot of money.
The problem is you are running a high rpm cam but not using it fully go all the way on each gear up to 9k rpm dont short shift at 6k as you are losing a lot of power from the cam. With high rpm cams u dont get much out of it if u shift half way up dont think about the wheel spin just keep it all the way to 9k till u get a feel for it in each gear i bet your 0-100 will be a huge difference, also why not put the engine in a rear drive car it will be a better choice for a high rpm engine. Anyways great video great idea u guys always amaze me and keep it up 👍😁
This whole test is nice! I enjoy watching the trial & error, if you wanted to get even more performance and check how everything is running next time. Install a wideband 02 sensor and since it's Carburetor you can adjust the fuel jets accordingly. Just my .02 cent
They have been doing this for years. Theres a company i used to send my cams to to do a weld and grind for hi lift pacco racing was the company they would take your core weld the lobes with nickel rods then grind them to your specs. They were great they also make cranks all kinds of stuff cutom. Over the years theres been a lot of companies that do this and with cnc cam/crank machines makes the grinds perfect. Pretty cool video you guys do some crazy stuff lol
If the engine has a mechanically adjustable valve train you can do almost the exact same thing by just grinding down the "base circles" of the camshaft then adjust out the added slack. I did that on my Honda Z50A and it worked out awesome.
Vlad I hope you and your family are doing well and safe. Politicians start wars not everyday people like us. I pray for peace and understanding between nations. My best wishes for you and your family and friends. Keep up the good work. Thank you Vlad.
This was exactly how you got a hot cam back in the day. My dad used to do this before the aftermarket cams were as available as they are today. He didn't even have a moden welder he was doing this with oxy acetylene and wire coat hangers. The only downside to doing it this way is they don't last very long. The plus side is aside from your time it's practically free.
I'd like to see you guys take a STOCK Lada, performance test it/Dyno etc, THEN, strip the motor, PORT/POLISH IT, BLUEPRINT, HIGH LIFT CAM, 4 BALANCED CARBS (Motorcycle?), LIGHTER FLYWHEEL, LIGHTER INTERNALS, yeah, I mean a FULL 'Race spec', and then performance/Dyno test it again, see what power gains you'd get 🤔😏😉👍 😎🇬🇧

Yeah, you guys should absolutely do this again, and better next time. It'd be hilarious to see a full race-prepped Lada enigne, and since it's 2 valves per cylinder, I suggest you look up David Vizard for camshaft specification advice and head porting advice. If you can get the head to carry the torque to 8500, then you could theoretically have a redline of 10,000 that you're after and should make about 175hp at the wheels with this. Worst comes to worst, I'd say at least 135 is still possible, which IIRC is just about 1.5 times the stock horsepower at the crank, so yeah.
this one is awesome ❤ . keep it up bro . Suggestion Ideas: try to short stroke engine for more power stroke 2 stroke with valves same as new mazda race engien
So to do this the "right way" you actually reduce the back side of the cam where it doesn't wear. Then adjust or shim to the correct clearance, and you will have extra lift. Also you keep the standard wear surface where it bears the most pressure. It's called "reduced base circle". Of course it would be difficult to get the kind of lift they did, but a little bit would be cool. The Cam profile is very particular at the ramps, where you don't want to fling the valve off, need to transition smoothly so the lifter/rocker follows the cam.
do a full low budged engine build pls. modyfied cams, lighter flywheel, 2 or 3 stock valvesprings combined, stronger piston rods (maybe lighter) and all the good stuff. that'd be awesome
You guys are amazing and do so much interesting content! I applaud your dedication and drive to do unusual things to Lada engines the should be paying you for R+D lol. Great job guys love your work! From Sth Australia ✌️☘️🙏🇦🇺😎👍
the camshaft lobe on a overhead cam engine is ground at a verry slight angle . this is so its rotating the little filerplate in the lifter bucket so it doesnt wear a dimple in it welding up a cam and grinding it down will work some but its not ideal , wat ive seen done is people grinding down the base circle of the can and readjusting the valvelash this allso causes the cam to lift more but prevents the metal of the cam to be anealed by the heat of the welding i seen a real camgrinder and the grinding wheel is HUGE on the thing and watercooled i allso seen a homemade version using a bench grinder and a device that uses a second cam to grind the original one , basicly a wheel about the size of the grinding stone sits next to the gronder in a rig holding hoth cams side by side , the wheel gets thouched by the racegrind cam and it lifts the original cam towards and away from the grinder you move the thing side to side from lobe to lobe copying each lobe ontoo the original cam , if you tune / shape the slight angle in the grinding stone you should end u with a cam thats verry close to an original racing cam for verry little extra money once you build the grinding rig

To raise the lift on a camshaft cam,cam manufacturers will grind on the back of the cam lobe instead of welding the tip of the lobe to increase the lift. It is much easier than your solution. Because of the rough surface from grinding you will lose hp due to friction and will need to polish the lobes inorder to free up hp. I have been building racing motors in the US for over 40 years and have had many camshafts modified by professionals because the camshafts were obsolete and a high performance camshaft wasn't available.
In one my cars the camshaft had lobes that looked like chicken eggs. It was completely mental to drive the car around. It doesn't work very well with turbocharged engines, though. But it sounds wild with naturally aspirated engines.
After now seeing the video, I'm onboard with the one guy's speculation from the Short, which was that they had the tach configured for an engine with more cylinders. Which now that we saw a second tach (the first one in the vid), I'll add to it by saying: that first one reading 7500RPMs would make sense being a 6cyl tach if that engine's factory red-line was 5500RPM. Which the AutoMeter would further make sense if it was set to 8cyl with its 9500RPM! Hard to say, honestly. Of all the crazy stuff they do, this is actually the first time that I'm _extremely skeptical_ of what's been shown... 🥴 _(not counting the April Fools videos)_ Even if it was configured right, we were still skeptical that their 2bbl carb would have enough headroom to supply 9500Rs!
You guys need to make a video about making as much power from a Lada engine for as cheap as possible like this and diy carbs and more to see how much is the max
I just used the bench grinder and ground 3mm from the bottom of the cam lobes and then 1mm from the tip of the lobes to make it less pointy 😅, so being less on the low side after adjusting the extra clearance, it gives the highest point an extra 2mm lift with about 8mm duration.

It'd be hilarious to see a full race-prepped Lada enigne, and since it's 2 valves per cylinder, I suggest you look up David Vizard for camshaft specification advice and head porting advice. If you can get the head to carry the torque to 8500, then you could theoretically have a redline of 10,000 that you're after and should make about 175hp at the wheels with this. Worst comes to worst, I'd say at least 135 is still possible, which IIRC is just about 1.5 times the stock horsepower at the crank, so yeah.
Who needs a honda K series when a lada will turn 9k! 😂 that was so awesome!
this one is awesome ❤ . keep it up bro .
Suggestion Ideas: try to short stroke engine for more power stroke
2 stroke with valves same as new mazda race engien
I always said the 2 stroke will have a comeback in normals cars.
For banger racing this would be perfect as the engine doesn’t need to last a long time and you want mode it cheap as possible
Same here in Finland at folkracing
Just make the lobe all around. The valve will stay open all the time and that must be the most power I guess.
So to do this the "right way" you actually reduce the back side of the cam where it doesn't wear. Then adjust or shim to the correct clearance, and you will have extra lift. Also you keep the standard wear surface where it bears the most pressure. It's called "reduced base circle". Of course it would be difficult to get the kind of lift they did, but a little bit would be cool. The Cam profile is very particular at the ramps, where you don't want to fling the valve off, need to transition smoothly so the lifter/rocker follows the cam.
this is one of the coolest things ever
do a full low budged engine build pls. modyfied cams, lighter flywheel, 2 or 3 stock valvesprings combined, stronger piston rods (maybe lighter) and all the good stuff. that'd be awesome
I was hoping for 10K on the road test 😢 I feel like you didn't keep your foot in it long enough - looking forward to Part 2 ❤️
You guys are amazing and do so much interesting content! I applaud your dedication and drive to do unusual things to Lada engines the should be paying you for R+D lol. Great job guys love your work! From Sth Australia ✌️☘️🙏🇦🇺😎👍
That crazy without any other sound...
Awesome , I’ve done it to a gx390 single cylinder engine. 73mph in the tuck on a self built frame and rebar spoked space saver wheels.
I actually expected "better" from them - they are usually pretty darn precise. Impressive either way.
you should put this cam and some stiffer valve springs on the light weight engine
This seems to big like V-theck for Lada , thumbs up for you guys
I'm waiting for my opposed piston LA DA engine.
Vlad....😊
the camshaft lobe on a overhead cam engine is ground at a verry slight angle . this is so its rotating the little filerplate in the lifter bucket so it doesnt wear a dimple in it
welding up a cam and grinding it down will work some but its not ideal , wat ive seen done is people grinding down the base circle of the can and readjusting the valvelash this allso causes the cam to lift more but prevents the metal of the cam to be anealed by the heat of the welding
i seen a real camgrinder and the grinding wheel is HUGE on the thing and watercooled
i allso seen a homemade version using a bench grinder and a device that uses a second cam to grind the original one , basicly a wheel about the size of the grinding stone sits next to the gronder in a rig holding hoth cams side by side , the wheel gets thouched by the racegrind cam and it lifts the original cam towards and away from the grinder you move the thing side to side from lobe to lobe copying each lobe ontoo the original cam , if you tune / shape the slight angle in the grinding stone you should end u with a cam thats verry close to an original racing cam for verry little extra money once you build the grinding rig
LOL i want to run the cam doctor on that shaft to get the specs. Cheers from Australia
Imagine these guys make a race car
These guys yet have a couple race cars, and take pert in some racing. I know they go drift in Russian drift series
They've made a few high end builds, the supra was pretty dope.
Wow, big fan from New Zealand. What you guys do looks so fun, ide love to fly over and visit one day. It would be awesome to see all your crazy projects for myself. ❤ Keep up the fantastic content. Rock on!!! 👊
Me to from nz
Same
Hello fellow New Zealanders!
Ehh!!!!! por fin! jaja.. audio en español! jaja felicitaciones!
It would never occur to me modifying camlobes by free hand angle grinding, but here we are :) All for its uses :D
HI from the UK. the translation i watch is translated from Russian. i don't know where u are. but love ya stuff. n ya lada knowledge is epic. if u are in Russia. i am in the uk. i do not want anything bad to happen 2 you or your engineering crew. i have watched u for years. the twats in charge of where i live. sorry mate that aint me. I LOVE U N YA LADS. you are like old friends i've known 4 years. n I love ya content. cheers fellow petrol head
Still incredible that honda managed to make both of the worlds into one with the VTEC technology.
To raise the lift on a camshaft cam,cam manufacturers will grind on the back of the cam lobe instead of welding the tip of the lobe to increase the lift. It is much easier than your solution. Because of the rough surface from grinding you will lose hp due to friction and will need to polish the lobes inorder to free up hp. I have been building racing motors in the US for over 40 years and have had many camshafts modified by professionals because the camshafts were obsolete and a high performance camshaft wasn't available.
In one my cars the camshaft had lobes that looked like chicken eggs. It was completely mental to drive the car around.
It doesn't work very well with turbocharged engines, though. But it sounds wild with naturally aspirated engines.
I think it will be great if you star a DIY series of how to cheaply improve your car performance!
DIY lada turbo conversion please !! 😁😁😎
Gracias👍 por insertar el idioma Español Latino
ustedes son los mejores 🙂👍
Love your videos lots of great knowledge wish you would invest into a Dyno to show us some numbers ;) 😊
Must be good for bernth knowing a bassist exists that is worthy of sharing the stage :P
These guys need 1m subs asap 👌
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
After now seeing the video, I'm onboard with the one guy's speculation from the Short, which was that they had the tach configured for an engine with more cylinders.
Which now that we saw a second tach (the first one in the vid), I'll add to it by saying: that first one reading 7500RPMs would make sense being a 6cyl tach if that engine's factory red-line was 5500RPM. Which the AutoMeter would further make sense if it was set to 8cyl with its 9500RPM!
Hard to say, honestly. Of all the crazy stuff they do, this is actually the first time that I'm _extremely skeptical_ of what's been shown... 🥴 _(not counting the April Fools videos)_
Even if it was configured right, we were still skeptical that their 2bbl carb would have enough headroom to supply 9500Rs!
Después de tanto tiempo. Por fin en español 🎉 olé y olé
i almost spat out my drink when it became a rotary🤣🤣🤣
Poor Lada! Lots of fun.
We have a lot of Ladas here in America, i should try this.
Bigger jets To carburetor and it Will fly 👍
You guys need to make a video about making as much power from a Lada engine for as cheap as possible like this and diy carbs and more to see how much is the max
👌😂👍I definitely enjoyed your crazy experiment!
The lada can take anything you guys throw at it 😅
I wish we could have lada in the United states.
I just used the bench grinder and ground 3mm from the bottom of the cam lobes and then 1mm from the tip of the lobes to make it less pointy 😅, so being less on the low side after adjusting the extra clearance, it gives the highest point an extra 2mm lift with about 8mm duration.
Most fun experiment ever
this can be pushed so much further, i hope to see 10k+ rpm and rods flying in the summer
