Can I put a supercharger like that on my Harley Davidson Street Glide? I have 131 HP and 149 ft lbs of Torque right now and its definitely way faster than it was but still not fast enough.
@@adytowe7969 I remember putting my Durango back together years back when replacing the trans….I had two really long bolts left and also heard a couple bounce from under and hit the road while driving….needless to say I drove it with no issues for 7 more years before selling it to my neighbor, who still has it. 🤷🏼♂️
As a mechanic myself this video is a well thought out and planned explication of a how to. Hats off to you for this video as it will guide many to succeed in an endeavour like this.
@itp5x5 yep guys use them for kart racing and build out the 212cc usually but aftermarket serves them fairly equally I think. You can get around 30hp out of the 402cc I think k that's the displacement
I really appreciate the amount of detail you gave whilst mounting the piston rings and all the interior crankcase bits and valve train. I could still pester you with questions about reasons for some of the procedures as well as sealing and grinding compounds you used, but you vastly extended my understanding on an engine rebuild. Thanks!
I'm probably the 800th person to say this, but just in case nobody else did, you forget to tell people to have the ring gaps opposed and not in line with each other. To limit unnecessary blow by and compression loss. Great video btw!!! I loved it! That thing sounds meaty
Sooo, you basically bought a complete engine, and replaced Everything, except for the Block and maybe the oil filter. Now all you need is a block, and an oil filter, and you can make a working stock engine with all the spare parts
Yeah I was watching him pull the engine apart and was wondering why he didn't just stick a wrecked bike engine or 90s honda 1.6 in there. The Honda would have been heavier, but 30 more horse, fuel injected, and a shitload more reliable. Would have cost way less too.
I thought you were going to jump right into speeding around and yelling at me about how fast it goes. But you educated me and gave me understanding and lead to the final result.
I'm in no way, shape, nor form a gear head, yet the way you made this video gives me the confidence that I could do this same procedure. You have earned my subscription. Great work and it looks awesome!
Achronic Deth As long as you have the baffling around the cylinders, the front cover, and the fan on it then overheating shouldn’t be an issue. Plenty of air should be directed around the cooling fins even at idle.
WOW!!!! EXQUISITE REBUILD!!! WOW!!! It's so rare to find a professional rebuilder like in the old days!! Thank you, Dear Sir! For the knowledge, and the professionalism! I really learned so new gentle torque down tips from you! And I thought that I took it easy. Also how to oil the rings on installation! Thank you again!

Great detail on build. I very much appreciate that! Everyone else always assumes that everyone else has been involved in a build which isn't always so. Thank You Sir
I enjoyed this video, thks bro..I’m a DVET, master tech, and can’t build anymore, due to being in a wheelchair, so I miss it…nothing beats building with ya own two hands,and enjoying the fruits of labor..
Dude I love you straightforward style man you're so clear on everything on all the different parts on the different lengths all the gaps and everything excellent job my brother
Damn that's pretty easy. Set the ignition coil gap and BOOM, your engine is back together, with a blower and the AFR set at the magical boost setting. I must have been gapping coils wrong my whole life. All the engines I've gapped were still NA when I finished.
I watched this again came across it out of the blue,and enjoyed it as much as the first time..reminds me of all the time I spent rebuilding stroking my banshee to a 410cc two stroke , little different but still all fun..
When gapping rings always err on the side of caution. You will not hurt the engine being a little loose but if it is to tight you will have catastrophic failure
Thank you for this build. I always like the long play videos where the creator shows every thing he did minute by minute. That makes for a long video but I always enjoy all the problems the mechanic runs into. I have to say, this was really well put together and I enjoyed the pacing. I love to see mechanics rebuilding these predator engines, making them better than they were. What was the total cost of the rebuild of this engine?
I'm 62, I have known some of the Best gas and diesel mechanics. I was Wowed by the Smooth, Real, hands on build. Send this to any supplier you enjoy, and wait. If they want to sell tools, parts, chemicals, You'd be the Guy. I Really respect and Enjoyed Talent in motion. THANKS TOMMY
I love your videos and this looks like a pretty neat build. But, I have one comment that I think you might find useful. When you tap out the pin that holds the governor, if you shorten that pin, you can drive it back in the hole to seal it. That way you’re resealing it with the same piece that precisely fits it with no issues at all. It really is a quicker and cleaner solution. If it makes you feel better, you could even put a little Loctite on it, but that’s likely overkill. In any event, I’m looking forward to seeing the performance videos.
So just glancing at the parts list this engine is around 3k to 4k. If you want to go fast you have to pay. Very cool. I would still prefer this over a motorcycle engine to avoid shifting. I have a stock 650 Kawasaki atv engine that i'll use. It's only(lol) around 50hp and not nearly as cool but my frame is smaller and I didn't pay much for it. I just got done putting an old school Briggs 8hp flathead on a vintage McCulloch F1 race kart it's a real hoot.
You the man for this build red beard! Your talent is being blessed and shows quality thru that mean machine and family. May God bless your mission and friends who help to success
Good sir, it's this type of video why i went to TH-cam way back in the day!!!! I've learned allot from doing so. Thank you and your team for providing this content.
Love this! I don’t see too much in the way of superchargers these days. Speaking of supercharging, I just got an AMR500 to slap on my 1.2L Mitsu triple. Gonna be putting together a vid on it soon, it should be putting down 100+hp to the wheels 😜
Nice uniflow 2 stroke conversion, ports intake on bottom exh valves on top, these aluminum blocks are easy to cost into for ports, thinking of doing this with a big v-twin Harley motor, brapp
There's a reason it never crossed your mind... it's moronic, specially when you can buy one hundred hp motorcycle engines all day long for less than $1k that won't blow-up after a few hours of use
I must give this man credit he is one of the best persons I ever seen building motor just like me very detailed very neat and very on poin the very 1 point that's the way I work this is the best person I've ever seen and keep up the good work great job
Cool project, I personally would have probably used a sport bike motor instead. I imagine it would be more cost effective and more powerful. But it’s still a dope and very detailed build
I was going to comment the same thing! Before all the craziness my ENTIRE 600cc sportbike (2004 Honda CBR600 F4i) was $2300 bucks. I actually got a mint 2005 CBR600RR for $2100 too. Something like 45 ft-lbs 90hp and includes an alternator, wiring, tach, ECU, clutch, transmission, radiator, fans, and a keyed ignition. Wrecked bikes that still run can still be had for even less I'm sure. Then sell off the extra motorcycle parts and you can end up with only $1500 or less in the powertrain. And you get more power and more reliability. M/C build has no supercharger whine, less low-end grunt, and not nearly as cool though.
@@RedBeardsGarage if you don't put the engine together exactly right you may as well throw the supercharger in the trash, which is where the engine will go after you run it, supercharger is just a bolt-on
I absolutely love how you include all the details, even the socket sizes! That's badass! You make it look and sound sooo easy... I am glad I came across your channel! Amazing production quality. Totally subscribing!
Hats off to you sir for sharing your knowledge with us on that amazing engine! This video is one of the best and most instructional videos I have ever seen on TH-cam! I am a retired master aircraft mechanic with 30 plus years of experience including the overhaul of aircraft piston engines and you sir a master at what you do. Really great video and thanks again for sharing!
uestion:. Since even with properly gaped rings you get some blow by, has anyone ever experimented with putting two compression rings in each ring grove? I know the existing groves might not be wide enough to accommodate two rings each, but they could be widened. The possible advantage would have the two rings in each grove offset from each other thus minimizing blow by and increasing compression with the 4 compression rings on each piston. Just a thought.
Love watching your videos just started my mini bike build leaning towards a 224 base currently running a 249cc briggs donor from the toy pile on my hillbilly full suspension build God bless and build some more turbo and super hair dryer toys
I gotta had it to you. This was an excellent build. You did a perfect job, I mean I thought I would catch you slipping on those starter mounting bolts, I was like the one time my dude doesn't use a torque wrench then 20 seconds later you're torquing them down. I know this is an old video, but I just came upon it. I even like how you turned down the idle for a moment to let the oil get to the dry side and then when you did start giving it throttle you gave it baby bumps until it was warmed up. Nice job beginning to end!
That would be the lazy Boy way of doing things. Plus he might have $2.500-$3.000 grand in parts/boring/machine work. So to go out and get a used engine ($500-$800 ) good luck on Reliability/power. 0r buy a new one from Harley Davidson /Suzuki/Honda etc. That will make 70+ hp. your going to spend $9.000 grand and UP!!.
Okay horsepower masochist. Go ahead and wildly modify your Chinese lawn tractor engine into unreliability. Plenty of good high performance motorcycle engines at the motorcycle salvage - for a lot less than $9,000. I’m just saying that if speed is your goal, starting with a low performance Harbor Freight engine is a colossal waste of money and time
So are you going to show how to mount the supercharger, alternator, and everything else you put on the engine? The build up to that point was.usefull but what about the rest of it
Probably should have both sets of piston rings with you at the grinder so you do uniform grinding to both ring sets. All that talk about gapping and it seemed like he just eyeballed it lol. It is just a harbor freight engine tho
While that's pretty cool, I think at that point I'd just pull out an old Honda 1.6L single cam and slap it in. Would probably be cheaper, though you'd have less speed off the line due to weight but a good bit more torque
As I was saying to the other fellow I wouldn't have changed any internals I would have put the butler on there and run the piss out of it anything less than 10 lb of boost is fine with most stock internals in hell if it did break He spent more money in parts You could buy a whole new motor lol
This engine has no cylinder liner, seems to have valve seats machined right into the aluminum head, and probably a number of other cost-reducing design features - hardly worth upgrading this engine I think.
Cam followers and lifters are different. Normally lifters work with rocker arms and push rods, cam in block design. Cam followers work with hydraulic valve lash adjusters, over head cam designs.
I have no desire to build one of these engines, but I am so impressed by your knowledge and precision, that I subbed. You get to do what so many of us dream of. I was lead to your channel from VasilyBuilds.
I keep waiting for the mention that the piston rings need to be placed in the correct position. That was something I had never considered until I overhauled an engine. Small detail, but astoundingly important! Awesome info! You put in SO much wonderful detail!
Omg, I love you! You called it an ENGINE!!!!! ... most of these people don't know the difference between an engine and motor ... lol. Subbed, thanks man!
I don't see why he did that piston and rod and crank conversion for a measly 10 lb of boost anyway I put more than that on stock motors if I ain't going over 20 lb or 30 lb of boost I'm leaving stock internals lol hell if it breaks the money he's been on parts you could buy a new damn motor

I need one for a mini bike project
I was not expecting that much clarity in the breakdown and build process. Well done sir.
Love your proccess clear as day great step by step all info for all the parts
Was just thinking that
Right!
No filler 100% great vid
I'm quite impressed. This is a very high quality video.
I'm frequently amazed at how mechanics can get all that back together.
Yes me to I would have all sorts of parts left over

Good story thank you for sharing take care mate respect
I'm thinking this would be awsome
If you know you know if you don’t you don’t.
The most amazing thing is that you actually have a 10mm socket, mine all seem to grow legs and run away!
Wesley Jolly I'm sorry I'll give them back
I found one on the ground of a parking lot! Felt like the luckiest day ever .
Right. I have 6 tool sets. I had to make a 10mm wrench out of a 3/8 . With a grinder. I had 6 of them lol
They ran away to go live with the 3/8ths to 1/4 adapters.
What he doesn't tell us is, that motor comes with a free supply of 10mm sockets.
Y’all gave this engine the attention that a race engine might get. Can tell y’all love what you do. Really impressive work!
As a mechanic myself this video is a well thought out and planned explication of a how to. Hats off to you for this video as it will guide many to succeed in an endeavour like this.
Supercharging an engine like that to 70 hp is absolutely unnecessary.
That's why I love it!!!
You had me in the first half😂😂
@itp5x5 yep guys use them for kart racing and build out the 212cc usually but aftermarket serves them fairly equally I think. You can get around 30hp out of the 402cc I think k that's the displacement
What’s the build cost on something like this?
I want a hundred from a harbor freight motor so bad idc if they have to make a 4 banger
@@Agilepickleunite They just need a hint of boost or make a diesel.
I don’t do this kind of work but I just wanted to say that this is an exceptionally well-done instructional video.
My goodness the amount of available aftermarket parts for these small engines never ceases to amaze!
I really appreciate the amount of detail you gave whilst mounting the piston rings and all the interior crankcase bits and valve train. I could still pester you with questions about reasons for some of the procedures as well as sealing and grinding compounds you used, but you vastly extended my understanding on an engine rebuild.

Nah bro , this engine makes 70 hp but probably 120 torque lol

It doesn't matter that much... they spin around when the engine runs.
Sooo, you basically bought a complete engine, and replaced Everything, except for the Block and maybe the oil filter. Now all you need is a block, and an oil filter, and you can make a working stock engine with all the spare parts
Right? Order a long block of a pred engine and save time money and waste.
@Ron T exactly way to much work for just a meh idk 70 hp? whoopde du bazzle
@@mikeallen2444
The re-do includes removal of the rev limiting device. That way it is assured the engine will grenade in the first race.
@Ron T he basically built an SV650 motor. Same power output, but the SV doesn't need a freaking supercharger.
Yeah I was watching him pull the engine apart and was wondering why he didn't just stick a wrecked bike engine or 90s honda 1.6 in there. The Honda would have been heavier, but 30 more horse, fuel injected, and a shitload more reliable.
Would have cost way less too.
You clearly gained more horses by just removing 80% of that plastic.

Coulda gained ten horses with a can of red rustoleum..... everyone knows red is faster....
powder coated crap added 100hp

Harbor Freight owes their success to TH-cam. They must've sold MILLIONS of these motors. Very cool stuff.
😂 its an engine not a motor
This is the most detailed teardown and rebuild video - the fact you listed the size sockets etc was icing on the cake. Great job man!
Crazy how much stuff is just bolted and attached to that engine. It actually looked like an engine once a bunch of that crap came off it
Achronic Deth As long as you have the baffling around the cylinders, the front cover, and the fan on it then overheating shouldn’t be an issue. Plenty of air should be directed around the cooling fins even at idle.
@Achronic Deth actually the majority of the plastic is there to make sure it doesn't overheat.

Shoot I worked on Koehler v twins and they are the same wat with the heat shields. They look so much better without all that garbage on it.

So to go out and get a used engine ($500-$800 ) good luck on Reliability/power. 0r buy a new one from Harley Davidson /Suzuki/Honda etc. That will make 70+ hp. your going to spend $9.000 grand and UP!!.
Okay horsepower masochist. Go ahead and wildly modify your Chinese lawn tractor engine into unreliability. Plenty of good high performance motorcycle engines at the motorcycle salvage - for a lot less than $9,000. I’m just saying that if speed is your goal, starting with a low performance Harbor Freight engine is a colossal waste of money and time
Boring and assumes cost equivalency. Much more interesting seeing an unassuming engine built into something it wasn't designed for.
I am wondering what the finished weight of the engine is after the rebuild. Would you possibly remember or know?
,, Without leaving a gap" leaves a gap of millimeters
I think he realized that once it gets compressed and heated up it will expand. An over expanding gasket can cause serious leaks
Yeah i seen that big gap to 🤣
Hardly a gap. Copper deforms obviously. Pedantry really, even a gap that's not visible is still a gap.
So are you going to show how to mount the supercharger, alternator, and everything else you put on the engine? The build up to that point was.usefull but what about the rest of it
Clearly in the vid description. This was obviously building the engine, not installing the charger.
Best instructional video on TH-cam. That thing sounds mean after the blower!
This is the best step by step video I have seen very informative
At first when you flashed 10mm socket on the screen I thought you were bragging you had one. Might as well wear a Rolex while building.
"add copper ring gasket cutting it to not leave a gap" *shows 1/16" gap to camera*
Probably should have both sets of piston rings with you at the grinder so you do uniform grinding to both ring sets. All that talk about gapping and it seemed like he just eyeballed it lol. It is just a harbor freight engine tho
Brian. One bad ass Harbor freight
Motor!!
Nice pfp
@@bmjca123 you must not know what a feeler guage is, it's the tool he used to check gap after he had ring in cylinder
Hand wringing while failing to comprehend copper deformation = no gap.
While that's pretty cool, I think at that point I'd just pull out an old Honda 1.6L single cam and slap it in. Would probably be cheaper, though you'd have less speed off the line due to weight but a good bit more torque
As I was saying to the other fellow I wouldn't have changed any internals I would have put the butler on there and run the piss out of it anything less than 10 lb of boost is fine with most stock internals in hell if it did break He spent more money in parts You could buy a whole new motor lol
This engine has no cylinder liner, seems to have valve seats machined right into the aluminum head, and probably a number of other cost-reducing design features - hardly worth upgrading this engine I think.
@@lyndonthan4350 all nylon gear wheels see he left one in ,all drilling tapping for a blanking plug ,just glue bolt in not used for any thing,
This video was so perfectly edited it must have taken forever. Thank you for the complete breakdown and clear explanation
Never would’ve thought you could get that kind of power from a harbor freight engine!!!!!
How much to put this on a mini cup nascar for me?
Anyone else recognize the music from donut media bumper to bumper
I swear I just commented about this
More powahhh baby......
Never heard of “cam followers” before I always heard em called lifters
Cam followers and lifters are different. Normally lifters work with rocker arms and push rods, cam in block design. Cam followers work with hydraulic valve lash adjusters, over head cam designs.
He also referred to them as cam tappets. They do not look like any type of standard lifter.
I have no desire to build one of these engines, but I am so impressed by your knowledge and precision, that I subbed. You get to do what so many of us dream of. I was lead to your channel from VasilyBuilds.
I keep waiting for the mention that the piston rings need to be placed in the correct position. That was something I had never considered until I overhauled an engine. Small detail, but astoundingly important!
Awesome info! You put in SO much wonderful detail!
I didn’t see it in the top of the comments I was curious how much everything cost including engine if you don’t mind
I am extremely interested in the final cost for the whole project. I may consider selling my motorcycle to make this
All that money in aftermarket parts, would it be safer using a Honda block?
Makes about as much sense as a 500hp stock block 5.0.
I would love to know how much this cost in total
Bout 800$
Motor is about 800 parts and supercharger looking about 2k with no labor
Omg, I love you! You called it an ENGINE!!!!! ... most of these people don't know the difference between an engine and motor ... lol. Subbed, thanks man!
Way better than any Cars and Camera rebuilds
Where is the rest of the charger install
Smack bang at the top of the vid description...
Am i the only one with a cbr engine in my head the whole way through this video..
Literally could have bought a used motorcycle engine for a couple hundred bucks. Way cheaper and easier
How about a supercharged 1800cc Gold Wing engine?
@@ehsnils How about no?
@@ehsnils that would be badass but defeats the purpose of being cheap and simple.
Maybe not a CBR but a Suzuki SV650 Salvage motor would have cost nothing and makes that HP stock. And you get to keep the VTwin sound.
You should have just sourced an old engine ...if you just need the raw block.
I love how you go in depth with your engine build videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Dude, top notch video and I love that you put the socket/driver sizes in the corner.
I would do this mod too except for the fact that I can't find my 10mm or my 8 mm AGAIN.
That plastic gear in the crankcase looks like a sure point of failure. Does it drive the oil pump?
A lot of motorcycles and even some cars use plastic gears to drive the oil pump. It'll be fine.
@@brennen6354 i would still trust a steel or aluminum gear over a piece of plastic
i dont really understand building these motors when you could get a street bike motor so cheap
I don't see why he did that piston and rod and crank conversion for a measly 10 lb of boost anyway I put more than that on stock motors if I ain't going over 20 lb or 30 lb of boost I'm leaving stock internals lol hell if it breaks the money he's been on parts you could buy a new damn motor
Gordon Clark you cant even reliably put 15lbs of boost on a stock engine. Good try though.
Its fun and everyone can do it
@@adhdieseltech236 apparently you have never boosted a 4.8 ls lol
@@armyboy1420 This isn't an LS, this is a cheap Chinese 4 stroke not designed for boost.
this thing looks like a fun little treat to assemble
