@@NorthTo60A supercharger doesn’t do anything on a LVE. It can’t force more air into it. And even if, the resistance will limit the power output and the rpm so much, that the engine might even run worse.
try this again but instead use 2 vacuums on it. one for cylinder 1,2,3 and the other for 4,5,6 as you might be running intoair flow rate issue due to the single vancuum this should improve engine speed and power slightly. down side is you need to make another throttle body for 2nd vacuum
You’re definitely on to something. I think the 6 has a lot more potential, it’s just very impractical to unlock it. I don’t have a second vacuum but I might try to get a compressor into the intake
Try using tape to cover the gaps (especially on the exhaust manifold) Though it doesn't look as clean, it will increase the torque and RPM as less suction is lost. You could try to put the tape on the inside if aesthetics are a primary concern. Either way that engine is sick as hell!
i way to make it wayyy faster is to add some luberication, like olive oil to the pistons, and valves. that's what i did, and it made the rpm go from 2200, to 4600! But, dang, this is impressive, i barly have the parts to make a 1 piston engine, and l would not have the patients to build for that long, awesome!
It probably made less power because the vacuum's the same but the engine is bigger and heavier while having less equal distances for air to travel (cylinder 1 and 6 is further while cylinder 3 and 4 is closer)
I recognize 2 major mistakes - first of which is how torque was measured. The inline 4 got the weight up there faster because it has an higher RPM, not necessarily because it has more torque. I suggest you find a way to accurately measure actual torque and power by for example making a dyno. Second mistake is that the L4 was given an unfair advantage by using the same airflow divided across fewer cylinders, which increases airflow in each cylinder and makes the individual cylinders more powerful. On that note, an L2 or a single cylinder would likely outperform the L4 because of this very reason. Try providing the same amount of airflow for all cylinders on all your engines and let's see what is the most torquey or most powerful then. :)
Are you still working on the clutch tutorial? I’ve tried building it but I’m stuck. Love your channel man don’t ever stop ❤️ Edit: I’m talking about the clutch you showed in a short about 5 months ago.
Have you considered using a differential system to adjust the engine timing more fluidly and possibly while the engine is running? You may reach a more ideal 'tune' that way
Both look fantastic and I have to admire what your doing But it would be interesting to see what would happen if a 2 cylinder had 1/3 of the suction power from the vacuum and the inline 4 had 2/3 with the inline 6 have 3/3 of the suction power. I wonder which would lift the bottle quickest then as this would balance the air flow side to give a more realistic example as ordinary, the six would require more suction to match the output Keep up the good work tho, your engines are awesome! 👏👏👏
You should try a simpler 2 «cylinder ». That’s generally how I build my engines and I managed to make one that was very fast and torquey, but still pretty smooth and responsive. I used 4x4 pistons (KFPlus « performance piston » design), individual throttle bodies for each «cylinder », a thin 43mm diameter Technic wheel as a flywheel, gears for syncing the valve shaft with the crankshaft like you did, and a slightly different valve design where I used 2x1 Technic bricks put in the « center » of the hole, instead of 2 1x1 on the sides, which can easily be misaligned causing extra friction. I also had a smaller stroke for the valve shaft, using some conventional Technic crank parts used in fake engines. Otherwise, great designs!
The i6 has more power potential but has less fuel to use and also is less efficient for having more moving parts that cause friction. On a bigger vacuum the i6 would have more power and more smoothly
Now just need to find a way to add a flywheel and build a car aeound that... Then build a scale dyno and figure out the math to calculate CI of motor bore x stroke = Cubic Inches. Start plugging in real car engine math and see how much tq and hp or some measurement power it makes... Thats just my thoughts after watching this awesome video... 🙏🏻🔥
These are super cool engines! I think maybe if you went to 3x3 pistons you would get the fastest inline engine yet! I’m going to be trying it as well in the future. But I’m still designing it. It is going to have the look of a Honda k24 engine. I’ll let you know how she runs.
I’m going to assume you glued your valves? I’d imagine with one stud connections like that they would explode at high rpm’s otherwise. I toyed with the idea of trying to make sideways valves to prevent having to glue them but they didn’t quite fit.
The valves in the I-4 are glued but the 6 doesn’t use any glue:) I know what you mean by building them sideways tho, that’s definitely worth some more explanation!
@@jmodsbricks Made a temporary short so you can see (forgive me if this doesn’t work, I’ve never made one before). th-cam.com/users/shortst_G_6MJEgls?si=GuZfkD4lUjmMNRzE I’ve only made the single piston engines for lack of parts, so the pivot point of the valve was in line with the crankshaft. This probably wouldn’t work well with inlines. Also I’m amazed your valves don’t enter low earth orbit whenever you throttle that thing if they’re not glued lol. Probably brand new parts. Also also, I’m equally impressed by the fact that your crankshaft is made up of those loose technic pins. Whenever I tried to use those they would mess up the timing with all the slack they have, especially with that many pistons in a row.
The inline 6 dosent have as much suction per cylinder as the inline 4 does which then during the winch test the inline 4 could rev higher and hold its revs.
you should have done a 2 lb and a 3 lb torque test too because although the i6 is slower, the power from the vaccuum has to go somewhere, and by somewhere i mean more torque than the inline 4
i think its not as strong since the inline 4 has less pistons than the inline 6. Lets say you are sucking at 40psi, on a inline 4 you will ideally get 10psi on each piston but on a inline 6 you get 6.667psi on each piston which will result in less power. What if you suck harder and theres also the problem of giving each piston balance sucking like a intake/sucking manifold
I want to swap the orange crank parts in the i4 to those half liftarms with axle holes but the 6 needs a weird offset between cylinders so that part was the only option.
i would like to see one where pisons 1 and 6 are in sync 2 and 5 and then 3 and 4 like a real i6 engine then it might sound a bit more real and be more balanced (i think) edit i saw that you already did lmao
I’m not sure if it’s really worth it to go bigger than 6, I’m still trying to decide. I’d love to hear what other people think tho, 8 would definitely be the next step

this is very cool, dude! Sorry for the lack of views, good luck with everything!
The view will pick up no doubt. Thank you for the support🙌🏻
I have one more question, what is the secret of speed? is that the pistons are 6×4? lubricant? or a powerful vacuum cleaner?
@@sharik1337 the design is very effective and my vacuum is powerful
Would love more dyno runs. Perhaps spinning up a heavy weight like a brake disc from a car would be possible
I kept the disks from the last break job I did. I just have to figure out how to attach it
your channel color scheme is peak
10:53 I think the reason why the i-6 performs worse is because of the power limit that your vacuum has. It can only extract so much air.
Hello, what would happen if you let the engines run under water ?

5:45 This is definitely a HP vs TQ thing. Higher no-load RPM vs lower max RPM, hi torque
"Unbreakable "
**Lego breaking sound plays**
If you time it like a real I6 (like 2 inline 3s mirrored with the pistons moving in pairs) it should have perfect primary and secondary balance.
The inline 6 dosent have as much suction per cylinder as the inline 4 does which then during the winch test the inline 4 could rev higher and hold its revs.
the 4 seems to be more efficient 6 seems like its starved for more vacuum power
surely we make this a purchasable kit. My birthday is coming up... :)
I’m gonna make the instructions free:) just gonna polish them up for people to download
you should have done a 2 lb and a 3 lb torque test too because although the i6 is slower, the power from the vaccuum has to go somewhere, and by somewhere i mean more torque than the inline 4

btw those peices you used for crank/cam arent too great, with using pins instead of rigid axles you get alot more play in the crank as a whole

Worth it? For what exactly? For fun is the only reason
