In regards to cooling the intake charge, this can be done in 2 ways. With an intercooler, or with water injection. Water injection can be done with a small single nozzle at the outlet of the supercharger. Water not only will greatly cool the intake air charge down, but it will also allow you to run more ignition timing gaining even more power. If you go with an intercooler, it will have to be mounted somewhere in the air flow. The longer piping will decrease your throttle response. The other option would be to go with an air to water intercooler. This would allow you to keep the short pipe distance between the stupid charger and the intake on the cement mixer. You could then either run a small radiator up front to keep the water cool for the intercooler, or you could run a one to two gallon container inside the car(because there isn’t enough room under the hood) where you could fill it up with ice water and actually have intake air temps of below ambient……. until the ice melts! You’ve got lots of options, and honestly any of them would make for good power gains, and help in tuning as well.
@@Dis-Emboweled alcohol injection is not as effective at cooling the intake charge as water injection is. For example, a tea spoon of water will be able to absorb more heat than the same table spoon of alcohol can. Granted, alcohol does increase the effective octane rating, but more of it has to be injected to be effective due to the lower BTU content of alcohol.
Those IAT's are a little spicy, I'm sure an intercooler will help quite a bit. An intercooler, E85, and a smaller pulley might make it almost as fast as a stock Insight! Keep up the great work. I love every one of these videos.
@@kirbyswarp He will indeed get poorer fuel economy if he went to E85, he'd also need larger injectors. ~40% more just going to E85, and if boost is raised then proportionally more. Figure ~30% decrease in cruising gas mileage. Still worth it as detonation is pulled back quite a bit.
e85 is probably a bad idea given that he's using a predator engine. Most small engines aren't designed with high alcohol fuels in mind. Odds are he'd run into a bunch of his plastic and rubber parts breaking down due to too much ethanol. Also you're adding to the injector and fuel pumps's duty load on top of already adding to it with the increased fuel/air volume from using the supercharger. switching to e85 requires something like a 30% increase in fuel flow.
Just discovered these videos. Spent a lot of hours fully captivated. Still though, i think an intercooler before and after the supercharger would give a reasonable gain
For intercooler selection, I wonder how a factory top mounted intercooler from a Subaru would manage heat in this application. They're not too big, not too expensive, and it could easily be shoehorned into the engine bay as a front mount intercooler or a top mount with a hood scoop feeding it. (Also showing people the Insight means business!)
Look into a knock sensor circuit for the efi. A lot of power to be made with timing and boost. Possible idea over an intercooler is methonal injection. Definitely be running 93 fuel. Maybe even look into e85. E85 and boost go together very well. Looking forward to next week.
@@bobroberts2371 Yes. You have to know engines normal vibrations and somehow determine dangerous vibrations. Knock sensor is actually sound frequerency sensor.

Even if finding a knock sensor and getting it dialed in to work correctly would be a challenge it would definitely be a good idea regardless. Working solely off IATs, power, and "it didn't blow up yet," is really not an ideal plan with boost.
The root type supercharger produces most amount heat into the intake air than any other supercharger so you will have to introduce cooling for intake charge. Keep this in the mind that water cooling has more benefits into your type of car which is under powered and more weight.
For comparison, a Citroen 2CV6 with a stock 602cc 29bhp engine (and 2 cylinders) has a 0-60 of about 26-30 seconds, depending on whether the wind's at your back, so you're nearly there... :D

You should not need an intercooler with a sidewinder, just make sure it's pulling cooler air than the engine compartment Cowl induction is the best. The drag coefficient on that Honda should allow for some really nice dense cool air swirling in the cowl area. Suck that in and it will keep things cool enough without the trouble of an intercooler which probably won't be anymore efficient.

This is just amazing, not only the build, the commentary is just so relatable. It's like a buddy is explaining his most recent project. Absolutely love it
What a lot of people don't understand about using a turbo on a single cylinder engine is you need to make an air box to equalize the air flow otherwise you take a chance of back spinning the turbo and snapping the impeller because of the pulses generated when motor goes up and down mainly the piston those pulses are generally reduced or not so harsh to the engine when you're running multiple cylinders
My heart goes out to those effected by the tornado last night in the Andover, Wichita area of Kansas. Quite a bit of damage to homes and property is noted.
While reading some of the comments a harbor Freight commercial came on , I believe once you pay for a product it's yours to do as you please nice job cheers 👍
Now you add the turbocharger! Like a R-2800 14 cylinder radial engine in the P-47, Supercharger was for low altitude/low boost with the turbo used to maintain manifold pressure at higher altitude.
The little cutaway zone on the bearing is to allow the oil to spread via capillary action across the entire surface so it can be dragged through the bearing evenly on larger versions of this you'll often see grooves that run through the entire bearing and something like an x pattern

This does seem like a real friendly channel. I can tell by all the fan mail type comments. I feel like helping out in the workshop also. Wouldnt that be neat?? I love that little ROBOT..lucky guy!
Still sad the primary on the CVT is not tunable. Would be nice if it held 3800-4300 rpm from 0 to 60. Loving the progress of pushing more power out of this one banger. A twin 440 2 stroke would put it to shame though and would be a much more manageable size than the V twin. Plus brapp brapp noises.
Are they not like a scooter? On my scooter you could swap the weights in the front pulley to change ratios, I put a sidecar on mine so it'd bog with all of the extra weight, so I went with 19g weights instead of 28g weights so it revved out more. Also went up a main jet size since my plugs was white.
I think running water/methanol injection would be the best way to reduce the intake temp. It's easy to install, is very effective at lowering IAT, and the methanol adds extra octane. I've been running it on my supercharged Mustang for years.
I've been waiting for the Supercharger episode since the first time you mentioned it. We have a 79 L82 Corvette we're going to supercharge soon and this is a great appetizer for the project. Thank you for this.
Nice job!!! To manage the heat of the sc , I put a water injection system on my car. Easy to install, and only spray at wide open throttle. The water also made 62 more tq on the dyno.
@@kansasrose2909 Those are always good fun to watch. I have to admit, when I first saw a Honda Insight, they remind me of a cockroach! Now it's starting to grow on me!
A 1997 Civic driver myself, I like the idea of swapping the Insight engine for a smaller one. The performance of the supercharged 400cc is (imho) quite disappointing: way back in the seventies (yes, I'm that old...) I drove a Citroën 2CV4, that had a 435cc twin with a claimed 23 HP. Top speed of this "tin umbrella" was around 110 kph (+/- 70MPH) Since the CW of the Insight is half(?) of that of the 2CV I expected the Honda capable of well over 70MPH. Anyway: I enjoy your videos, so keep up the good work!😉
Sound good? It is! Let’s begin by checking out the second-hand OE blowers available from the Japanese import wreckers... Second-Hand Japanese Import Blowers Subaru EN07 This supercharger is, in a word, tiny. Fitted to upmarket versions of the Japanese-market Subaru Vivio/Pleo, this blower is lightweight and can be squeezed in very tight engine bays. It measures approximately 18.5cm in length (including the pulley) and the main body is around 15cm wide and 10.5cm tall. Although fitted by Subaru, the blower is manufactured by Aisin and is coded AMR300. This code suggests it displaces 300cc of induction air per revolution. The 660cc supercharged Vivio engine is rated at the class regulation 47kW and has 84Nm of torque, so the AMR300 blower is suitable for only low power applications. This makes sense when you look at the small 45mm OD blower outlet pipe. We’d be reluctant to push the AMR300 supercharger past 70kW - which means it’s good for only sub 1.0-litre engines. Nissan MA09 This is another small capacity supercharger manufactured by Aisin for Nissan Motor Company. Coded AMR500 (a step up from the Subaru’s AMR300) this is another light and compact supercharger. This unit measures 17cm long, 18cm wide and 13cm tall (not including the mounts and bolt-on inlet and outlet pipes). Again, the outlet pipes measures just 45mm OD but its code suggests that it displaces 500cc per revolution. The AMR500 blower is used on a very interesting engine. The Japanese-market Nissan March from the early ‘90s could be optioned with a MA09 1.0-litre 4-cylinder that boasts a supercharger and turbocharger! Peak power in factory form is 81kW, along with 130Nm of torque. This supercharger can be used for slightly higher power applications than the Subaru’s AMR300. We suggest that about 110kW is its limit. Toyota 4A-GZE The Toyota4A-GZE supercharger is the most popular second-hand supercharger in Australia. This unit is a considerable step up in weight and size over the previous Aisin superchargers. Coded SC12, the 4A-GZE blower is 27cm long, 21cm wide and 15cm tall (not including mounts or bolt-ons). The extra breathing potential of this supercharger can be seen in its larger outlet pipe, which measures 57mm OD. We’re led to believe that this supercharger displaces 1200cc per revolution and, in standard form, boosts to around 10 psi. In its final years of production, the supercharged and air-to-air intercooled 1.6-litre 4A-GZE engine had a standard output of 125kW and 206Nm. In tuning circles, we have seen this blower in applications making over 150kW with good reliability. Note, however, boost pressure in excess of 14 psi can lead to heat-related supercharger failure. Interestingly, the 4A-GZE blower comes with a small dipstick to check the internal oil level. It also has an electro-magnetic clutch mechanism (much like an air-con compressor clutch) that is used to engage and disengage drive to the supercharger. Toyota 1G-GZE The supercharger fitted to the 1G 2.0-litre straight-six is essentially a larger capacity version of the 4A-GZE’s SC12. Coded SC14, the 1G-GZE blower is the same width and height as the SC12 unit except it is 31cm long overall. The other major difference is the lack of an oil dipstick - the SC14 uses a conventional oil level inspection/filler plug. With the same 57mm OD outlet pipe but displacing 1420cc per revolution (220cc more than the 4A-GZE supercharger), the SC14 is fitted to the Japanese-market Toyota Crown, Chaser and Estima minivan
Wow, I learned something new today! Never knew about the ring gap having to be opened up when you modify an engine, and I’ve been working on cars for over 50 years!
@@kansasrose2909 The robot was very cool and also the 3-D printer, wish every shop had one of those, would be awesome for restoring classic cars and rare vehicles, you could make your own parts!
Broooo, this was awesome! It's great to see that sucker (or blower lol) in action finally! I especially love your repurposing of other automotive parts, and yes I would say that second unknown water neck came from an older Chevy but I could be wrong. And I was also surprised that thing pushed so much boost, as I was expecting probably 5 to 7 PSI, so nice job!! I've been wanting to find an Eaton S/C from a V6 Thunderbird or one from a GM V6 to mate to my Jeep 4L engine. Would really make it dance I think! Anyhow, great job and I know you'll get it tuned up right and running even better! Lastly, yes I think that Intake air temp is a bit hot. Maybe rig up a water/methanol injection to cool the mixture, if there's not room for an intercooler. 😎
I would put the throttle body where you had it, right on the intake manifold, so you don't run that much vac through the blower. That charge pipe is a perfect spot to replace with a small tube and fine type intercooler, cut a hole in the hood with a little scoop so it directs air over it. Or use a few PC fans to blow air over it.
Anytime that you explain your reasoning it helps the rest of us newbies grow. This site is intriguing and I always enjoy your post. Keep up the great work. Would like to know engine weights when the time permits.
One of my favorite episodes so far can never go wrong with stupid charging I can't wait to fine tuner and see what it'll do I've been very interested in one of these superchargers for my snowblower thanks again keep up the great work love the channel see you next week hopefully for another wonderful installment of robot cantina

Loving this, can't believe the supercharger is finally installed! I am really looking forward to seeing how the intercooler and a tune affect performance
Eliminating the cvt and manually shifting, would give free hp, instead of heat. Centrifigal clutch would also be more efficient. Throttle body installed on pressure side of blower and a waste gate, may help smooth out the tuning. Carbs do well on intake side of blower, due to their design. The Buick SC 3800 is similar to your setup though. Might be some hints in that design to help. Neat project.

You should seriously consider checking into a billet flywheel. The regular flywheel has been known to fly apart at higher than stock RPM. Might look into gapless top or second ring too.
Hey buddy, stumbled on your channel today and I'm here to stay. Got yourself a new sub🙂. Nice project but please take care of the intake temps, that was brutal🤣. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Also back in the olden days we had water vapor mist injection… Don’t know if it really worked but it was a fancy gimmick that everybody tried… You might do a little history on it and see what you think
The rings usually bind and crack the ring-lands when you run out of gap from too much heat. Sometimes pops a nice chunk out of the piston crown when the top lands cracked.
Now I have to shave?!??! Ugggg! It will be interesting to see what the final build with the Stupidcharger will be vs. a unmodified V-twin. My guess is the Stupidcharger will be more powerful.
You are certainly getting right, soon that car will be running along at 75 on the interstate being a fuel miser. Good ole Red Beard, he has a lot of knowledge out there on these engines. Next week cannot come fast enough. Have a blessed week.
I'd think a simple intercooler setup would be both simple and very beneficial. I've got a Toyota vits (yaris) which I supercharged running 15psi of boost with an eaton m45 positive displacement supercharger. IAT's were over 120c, which is not ideal. I added a small intercooler to that, and IAT's came down to ~30c. I did the exhaust at the same time so unsure exactly what gains the colder IAT temps made by itself, but overall power went from 90wkw to north of 130wkw (that's 175 barley corns for the imperial crowd) Simple and very effective!. Also there's lots of stock intercoolers off older turbo japanese cars which would likely be cheap at a junk yard and ideal for this little 420cc BIG BLOCK!. Love the videos! Don't fire Duke and Cheryl! They're doing a great job!
@@kansasrose2909 You made use of that positive displacement supercharger.. that is great. Go with what is both simple and beneficial I agree. We love the imperial crowd.
I think she'll be absolutely amazing...it's a shame you don't have a wheel dyno for the car itself with the whole setup in it, but hey, 10 pounds first day on the job peak or not is incredible. Keep it up!
Jimbo, this video did me a *big* please, keep it up 😊👍 Recommendation for the intake temps: By putting the throttle body before the stupid charger, you're not letting fresh air flow through it when you lift off the throttle or drive steadily. That's just gonna soak it with heat. I truly appreciate it's hard work doing all this stuff, but I really think you'll benefit from moving the throttle body closer to the block. Regardless, we're grateful you're doing all this.. for science 🧪🔬 🔥
With a positive displacement blower like this one, and without a blow-off valve, putting the throttle body after the blower can lead to things like bent throttle plates when you close the throttle and the engine and supercharger are on the overrun and forcing more and more air into what is essentially a sealed tube. If you're lucky you blow the intake piping off.
I won't lie. I came here out of random. I so was not on my A game. I swear I misheard "Super Charger" as "Stupid Charger". All because this is stupid but awesome. So you know what? Keep it up. All because I never thought of super charging a go-kart motor. Edit: I like to retrack my statement. I did not mishear. You really did say "Stupid Charger". I was on my A Game! Woo!
To deal with the vacuum collapsing the tubing on my supercharged Miata’s, I moved the throttle body to the intake manifold of the engine. Then you just have to run a blow off valve in the tubing between the engine and the supercharger. At idle it’ll just vent the excess air from the supercharger. Bonus is that you get a sick PSHHH noise when you let off the throttle.
You could try a water to air heat exchanger. This would allow you to not only improve overall air density but you could also use ice water for 0-60 runs for a small bump short term. It of course would greatly increase complexity and would require an air to water heat exchanger but... For science.
Air to water in this application would also help with packaging. He is starting to run low on space, and being. Able to remote mount the radiator would be a boon. The problem I keep thinking about is, what would you even use for the intercooler?
You can actually get fairly small barrel type water to air intercoolers. This would be good for two reasons: 1. Less air displacement between supercharger and throttle body. 2. As you said, much smaller packaging. If I was Mr. Cantina, I'd be running an air to water intercooler under the hood, and run the hoses back to the rear of the car. There, I'd mount a radiator and a small electric water pump under the rear bumper if possible. This could possibly eliminate the need for an electric fan, if the low air pressure area behind the car is used cleverly. However, with the alternator video, I think Mr. Cantina has been a few steps ahead of us already. That water pump is going to need like 4-5A at least.
@@ocdman202 What should they teach? The Aerodynamics and Fluid laws or automotive engineering? Personally I believe neither should be taught at high school level, imagine forcing someone to learn about Aerodynamics even tho he isn't interested and would be rather learning Biology or Art. This is a college level study, I believe it should all be covered on first year of Mechanical engineering. But anyone remotely interested can learn on his own, there's unlimited resources, for free!
On 91 octane fuel you should really be targeting in the 10.5-11.0 range for afr. I would strongly suggest a wideband o2 sensor to work with the ecu to properly tune fueling. AEM X-series units are nice and can be had for about $230. From there I would definitely investigate e85, or a small water to air intercooler setup. They are by far the most efficient when considering packaging size. If you need any pointers on the tuning side feel free to shoot me a message!

That plastic gear does not serve the purpose of an oil slinger. That’s what the dipper on the rod is for. Vertical shaft engines do however rely on the governor gear to sling oil. You can easily tell because they have paddles on the outside of the gear.

You should not need an intercooler with a sidewinder, just make sure it's pulling cooler air than the engine compartment Cowl induction is the best. The drag coefficient on that Honda should allow for some really nice dense cool air swirling in the cowl area. Suck that in and it will keep things cool enough without the trouble of an intercooler which probably won't be anymore efficient.

What a lot of people don't understand about using a turbo on a single cylinder engine is you need to make an air box to equalize the air flow otherwise you take a chance of back spinning the turbo and snapping the impeller because of the pulses generated when motor goes up and down mainly the piston those pulses are generally reduced or not so harsh to the engine when you're running multiple cylinders

Still sad the primary on the CVT is not tunable. Would be nice if it held 3800-4300 rpm from 0 to 60. Loving the progress of pushing more power out of this one banger. A twin 440 2 stroke would put it to shame though and would be a much more manageable size than the V twin. Plus brapp brapp noises.
pass on the 2-stroke here, burns oil along with the fuel, but agreed on the drive-pulley, that thing needs tuning for that engine relative to that car
Are they not like a scooter? On my scooter you could swap the weights in the front pulley to change ratios, I put a sidecar on mine so it'd bog with all of the extra weight, so I went with 19g weights instead of 28g weights so it revved out more. Also went up a main jet size since my plugs was white.

studied that formally?
A 1997 Civic driver myself, I like the idea of swapping the Insight engine for a smaller one. The performance of the supercharged 400cc is (imho) quite disappointing: way back in the seventies (yes, I'm that old...) I drove a Citroën 2CV4, that had a 435cc twin with a claimed 23 HP. Top speed of this "tin umbrella" was around 110 kph (+/- 70MPH) Since the CW of the Insight is half(?) of that of the 2CV I expected the Honda capable of well over 70MPH. Anyway: I enjoy your videos, so keep up the good work!😉
Sound good? It is! Let’s begin by checking out the second-hand OE blowers available from the Japanese import wreckers...
Second-Hand Japanese Import Blowers
Subaru EN07
This supercharger is, in a word, tiny.
Fitted to upmarket versions of the Japanese-market Subaru Vivio/Pleo, this blower is lightweight and can be squeezed in very tight engine bays. It measures approximately 18.5cm in length (including the pulley) and the main body is around 15cm wide and 10.5cm tall. Although fitted by Subaru, the blower is manufactured by Aisin and is coded AMR300. This code suggests it displaces 300cc of induction air per revolution.
The 660cc supercharged Vivio engine is rated at the class regulation 47kW and has 84Nm of torque, so the AMR300 blower is suitable for only low power applications. This makes sense when you look at the small 45mm OD blower outlet pipe.
We’d be reluctant to push the AMR300 supercharger past 70kW - which means it’s good for only sub 1.0-litre engines.
Nissan MA09
This is another small capacity supercharger manufactured by Aisin for Nissan Motor Company. Coded AMR500 (a step up from the Subaru’s AMR300) this is another light and compact supercharger. This unit measures 17cm long, 18cm wide and 13cm tall (not including the mounts and bolt-on inlet and outlet pipes). Again, the outlet pipes measures just 45mm OD but its code suggests that it displaces 500cc per revolution.
The AMR500 blower is used on a very interesting engine. The Japanese-market Nissan March from the early ‘90s could be optioned with a MA09 1.0-litre 4-cylinder that boasts a supercharger and turbocharger! Peak power in factory form is 81kW, along with 130Nm of torque.
This supercharger can be used for slightly higher power applications than the Subaru’s AMR300. We suggest that about 110kW is its limit.
Toyota 4A-GZE
The Toyota4A-GZE supercharger is the most popular second-hand supercharger in Australia.
This unit is a considerable step up in weight and size over the previous Aisin superchargers. Coded SC12, the 4A-GZE blower is 27cm long, 21cm wide and 15cm tall (not including mounts or bolt-ons). The extra breathing potential of this supercharger can be seen in its larger outlet pipe, which measures 57mm OD. We’re led to believe that this supercharger displaces 1200cc per revolution and, in standard form, boosts to around 10 psi.
In its final years of production, the supercharged and air-to-air intercooled 1.6-litre 4A-GZE engine had a standard output of 125kW and 206Nm. In tuning circles, we have seen this blower in applications making over 150kW with good reliability. Note, however, boost pressure in excess of 14 psi can lead to heat-related supercharger failure.
Interestingly, the 4A-GZE blower comes with a small dipstick to check the internal oil level. It also has an electro-magnetic clutch mechanism (much like an air-con compressor clutch) that is used to engage and disengage drive to the supercharger.
Toyota 1G-GZE
The supercharger fitted to the 1G 2.0-litre straight-six is essentially a larger capacity version of the 4A-GZE’s SC12.
Coded SC14, the 1G-GZE blower is the same width and height as the SC12 unit except it is 31cm long overall. The other major difference is the lack of an oil dipstick - the SC14 uses a conventional oil level inspection/filler plug.
With the same 57mm OD outlet pipe but displacing 1420cc per revolution (220cc more than the 4A-GZE supercharger), the SC14 is fitted to the Japanese-market Toyota Crown, Chaser and Estima minivan
Man that thing sounds a lot better than the last motor. I would say you have got the right equipment now.

Yes, and I am waiting for the next ROBOT CANTINA video.
I'm telling you the 670 V- twin WILL FIT. Seeing around the hood scoop to accommodate it may be spotty but it will fit.

Broooo, this was awesome! It's great to see that sucker (or blower lol) in action finally! I especially love your repurposing of other automotive parts, and yes I would say that second unknown water neck came from an older Chevy but I could be wrong. And I was also surprised that thing pushed so much boost, as I was expecting probably 5 to 7 PSI, so nice job!! I've been wanting to find an Eaton S/C from a V6 Thunderbird or one from a GM V6 to mate to my Jeep 4L engine. Would really make it dance I think! Anyhow, great job and I know you'll get it tuned up right and running even better! Lastly, yes I think that Intake air temp is a bit hot. Maybe rig up a water/methanol injection to cool the mixture, if there's not room for an intercooler. 😎
This was awesome. I am waiting for the next video, Maybe out this weekend?

I would put the throttle body where you had it, right on the intake manifold, so you don't run that much vac through the blower.
That charge pipe is a perfect spot to replace with a small tube and fine type intercooler, cut a hole in the hood with a little scoop so it directs air over it. Or use a few PC fans to blow air over it.
Anytime that you explain your reasoning it helps the rest of us newbies grow. This site is intriguing and I always enjoy your post. Keep up the great work. Would like to know engine weights when the time permits.

Eliminating the cvt and manually shifting, would give free hp, instead of heat. Centrifigal clutch would also be more efficient.
Throttle body installed on pressure side of blower and a waste gate, may help smooth out the tuning.

Cool video! (BTW)
I'd think a simple intercooler setup would be both simple and very beneficial. I've got a Toyota vits (yaris) which I supercharged running 15psi of boost with an eaton m45 positive displacement supercharger. IAT's were over 120c, which is not ideal. I added a small intercooler to that, and IAT's came down to ~30c. I did the exhaust at the same time so unsure exactly what gains the colder IAT temps made by itself, but overall power went from 90wkw to north of 130wkw (that's 175 barley corns for the imperial crowd) Simple and very effective!. Also there's lots of stock intercoolers off older turbo japanese cars which would likely be cheap at a junk yard and ideal for this little 420cc BIG BLOCK!. Love the videos! Don't fire Duke and Cheryl! They're doing a great job!

HEY JIMBO..... congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers.. ROBOT CANTINA is providing the

Jimbo, this video did me a *big* please, keep it up 😊👍 Recommendation for the intake temps:
By putting the throttle body before the stupid charger, you're not letting fresh air flow through it when you lift off the throttle or drive steadily. That's just gonna soak it with heat.
I truly appreciate it's hard work doing all this stuff, but I really think you'll benefit from moving the throttle body closer to the block.
Regardless, we're grateful you're doing all this.. for science 🧪🔬 🔥
With a positive displacement blower like this one, and without a blow-off valve, putting the throttle body after the blower can lead to things like bent throttle plates when you close the throttle and the engine and supercharger are on the overrun and forcing more and more air into what is essentially a sealed tube. If you're lucky you blow the intake piping off.
Yes! Thank you
@@Surestick88 Ahh fair point :)
I won't lie. I came here out of random. I so was not on my A game. I swear I misheard "Super Charger" as "Stupid Charger". All because this is stupid but awesome. So you know what? Keep it up. All because I never thought of super charging a go-kart motor.

At the heart of gratitude, kindness and compassion can be found.
Keeping a bit of kindness in your heart at all times is a way to brighten the world with thanks.
To deal with the vacuum collapsing the tubing on my supercharged Miata’s, I moved the throttle body to the intake manifold of the engine. Then you just have to run a blow off valve in the tubing between the engine and the supercharger. At idle it’ll just vent the excess air from the supercharger.
Bonus is that you get a sick PSHHH noise when you let off the throttle.
That noise may be something but THE ROBOT stole the show this time.

Rings should be filed from the outside edge inwards.
You could try a water to air heat exchanger. This would allow you to not only improve overall air density but you could also use ice water for 0-60 runs for a small bump short term. It of course would greatly increase complexity and would require an air to water heat exchanger but... For science.
I like the fact that it would greatly increase complexity. for science
Air to water in this application would also help with packaging. He is starting to run low on space, and being. Able to remote mount the radiator would be a boon.
The problem I keep thinking about is, what would you even use for the intercooler?
You can actually get fairly small barrel type water to air intercoolers. This would be good for two reasons:
1. Less air displacement between supercharger and throttle body.
2. As you said, much smaller packaging.
If I was Mr. Cantina, I'd be running an air to water intercooler under the hood, and run the hoses back to the rear of the car. There, I'd mount a radiator and a small electric water pump under the rear bumper if possible. This could possibly eliminate the need for an electric fan, if the low air pressure area behind the car is used cleverly.
However, with the alternator video, I think Mr. Cantina has been a few steps ahead of us already. That water pump is going to need like 4-5A at least.
@@lazar2175 They should really teach this in school , at least at
the high school level. So important to know this stuff.
@@ocdman202 What should they teach? The Aerodynamics and Fluid laws or automotive engineering?
Personally I believe neither should be taught at high school level, imagine forcing someone to learn about Aerodynamics even tho he isn't interested and would be rather learning Biology or Art.
This is a college level study, I believe it should all be covered on first year of Mechanical engineering. But anyone remotely interested can learn on his own, there's unlimited resources, for free!
I would recommend that you dish out the cylinder head more to lower compression so you have more timing to help with more power
On 91 octane fuel you should really be targeting in the 10.5-11.0 range for afr. I would strongly suggest a wideband o2 sensor to work with the ecu to properly tune fueling. AEM X-series units are nice and can be had for about $230. From there I would definitely investigate e85, or a small water to air intercooler setup. They are by far the most efficient when considering packaging size. If you need any pointers on the tuning side feel free to shoot me a message!
I love your videos! Keep up the good work, talk is cheap, results talk and you always get results, and do it your way. Waiting for the next video.
I am a subscriber 🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@kansasrose2909 Rose , what is it you like about these videos?
@@ocdman202 THANK YOU !! For the fun videos, ROBOT CANTINA!
Nice ep jumbo. Tanks go to Duck and his wife for helping out with this Ep.
Yes, by all means, Thanks to duck and the wife..
The duck and all the team. 😚😚
@@ocdman202 How many are on the crew if I may ask?
Is that ROBOT on the payroll?👾👾👾??
@@kansasrose2909 If the ROBOT is not on the payroll
he should be..and thanks the duck and wife, they
make a great couple.
I love this series.... There is something so fun and intriguing about it....
Could it be the little ROBOT?
@@kansasrose2909 Which came first the CANTINA or the ROBOT. ??
Jimbo == Right?
A power steering pump and a electric drill work for feeding a turbo oil, just make sure it feeds into a collector for gravity feed
In matter of... less than two days i've devoured all the episodes of this masterpiece! GIBE MOAR!!
🌈🌈🌈🌈 Kansas has WIZARD OF OZ and ROBOT CANTINA🤓🤓🤓🤓!
I am just kicken' back waiting for my next video here.
@@kansasrose2909 Is it happy hour yet?
@@ocdman202 Did you see one of the early videos Jimbo has of the Model T?
@@kansasrose2909 Yes, I have watched some of his early videos.
