It’s funny you mention gaming setups with water cooling. my pair of old school bazooka subs had a rare water cooling setup. Can’t find the original equipment but now I’m thinking I could use this idea..and save myself 4 hundred bucks. Subbed!
I'm wondering if using this same type of setup on the core of a water-cooled oil cooler might lower oil temps, without requiring an additional oil cooler.
I'd love to see you bring it into a Honda dealership for it's "yearly maintenance" with a hidden camera under the hood I'm sure you would get some very confused reactions
I've been following the series from the start, thank you so much for using my recommendation from the last video for the computer cooling solution and the Epic series processor block 😂 I can't believe how well it actually works! It means the world to me that this ended up in the car! Cheers from Canada
Not sure if it's worth saying but I have notifications from a few youtubers with some with a few million subscribers and I always chose this video first. Time to watch!!!
A small oil cooler with a small oil scavenging pump may help significantly lower the supercharger oil temps as well. I do like where the build is going though!
One of the things i always wanted to do and never had the time for it. Was to take one of these engines and weld a jacket around the cooling fins and see if i could turn it into a water cooled engine. Since your already sticking a water cooler into this thing..........might be something to experiment with.
@Alfred Wedmore I'm not doubting that, it just seems easier to put the jacket around the fins than it is to try and remove them. For experimental purposes. Plus i got this idea originally from wanting to capture the waste heat from a generator. Would make sense to do that and pipe it to a radiator inside the house for heat in the winter if the power goes out.
For the head gasket. There's a mod refered to as the piano wire mod. We're a metal o-ring is made from piano wire and sandwiched between the block and head gasket . Typically done with turbo builds. For the same reason as why you may need this
Why do I find this series so fascinating? I think I am addicted. Can’t wait to see where you take this. With the price of oil and vehicles, your mower/ cement mixer engine in a car may become a reality for people needing basic transportation. lol Phil

Nice work bro your killing it 💪 just a quick note the second turbo out the box is called a ko4 turbo from a 1.8t 20v vw,audi,seat,skoda rated for around 320bhp good luck friend have fun 👍
it'll be cool to hear turbo noises in future episodes from a small engine, that's for sure. and man a blown head gasket, would've been a real pain on an engine built for the car, but thankfully dis- and reassembly of the cement mixer one won't be too bad. can't wait to see the power it's gonna make with the intercooler though :D
K03-029 is the Borgwarner turbo from a 1.8t 20 valve 150hp Volkswagen Jetta/Golf GTI and others. K03-056 is the turbo for the 180hp later variant. About the pc cooling pumps, make sure the the water is always above them, air kind of destroys them. Plus those all in one kits are not the most reliable ones, I would the replace it with a single D5 pump.
There were turbo kits for some Kei cars which used an IHI RHB31 turbo. Suzuki Cappucino was one I think I have both the AMR300 and an IHI turbo. The turbo will shortly be going back on my FZR125 twin, #2. #1 was blown up on the dyno. Those IHI turbos work really well on small engines so well worth giving it a try.
The larger of the two is a K03-15 Found on Audi A4 and VW Passat 1.8T From 1997 to 2004. Too large in my opinion for a 420cc. The smaller turbo however is a variant from a lower RPM diesel 1.9TDI I believe from A 1993-1998 Jetta TDI with a smaller exhaust turbine and housing. I do believe this one will see positive pressure on engines in that range, especially with EFI and an operational RPM over 3000. I would recommend artificially reducing the size of the exhaust housing inlet size if you plan on using it on a smaller engine to increase the focus of exhaust pressure. I have reason to believe the smaller turbo may solve some issues or add to this current project as well. If used for another project, that would be cool too. Hope these tidbits help!
Yes, I just made a note of your info, After the first few days, the comment section gets too big and I typically cant go back and find stuff that folks have written.
Wow that's a unique AIO liquid cooler, I've never seen one with the pumps integrated like that before, and twin pumps is definitely a unique concept. That it's still sold is equally impressive considering it's a 9 year old product.
Those small turbo's are K03 turbo chargers from the vw mk4 1.8t engine found on the jetta's, passat's and the audi TT's from that era, while tiny they can be good as long as there is not shaft play.
I been following since mid season last year and this whole project has really inspired me! Just today, my good friend gave me the title to his old 88 civic sedan. Clean car, no engine or trans..... And I have a 22hp Kawi Vtwin sitting in my shop.......
Sounds like you got enough stuff to start a project. Keep in mind that on older Honda's the transmission is on the passenger side of the car and the engine spins backwards from normal cars. The Honda insight that I'm using has the transmission o the drivers side of the car and that is how I'm able to use the predator engine.
@@robotcantina8957 i think I may have that issue sorted by using a Mazda transmission.. Its some backwards compatibility knowledge that I learned when researching a Honda engine into a Ford Escort, which was Mazda based. Talk about Frankenstein-ing!
Air to water cooler is how the Saturn ion redline and early chevy cobalts were. They sold a dual pass end plate as part of their factory stage 3 kit. Your make shift kit reminds me of that car! Fun times
That 1.8 hairdryer turbo is plenty, trust me. Idk if that's the KO3 or KO4 but the 3s suffered heat soak while the 4s had better thermals. My 1.8 VW had 15 psi from one of those little things before it dropped a valve and that was far less than the turbo wanted to go. I've heard they can push past 35psi easily on a 1.8 but obviously then you're wearing the lifespan of the turbo. Anyway, might be worth a shot! Don't knock that tiny turbo until you try it 😅
Kei cars are my favourite cars of all, and I can't understand why similar legislation is not common outside Japan. They're all the car you really need, and they're fantastically inventive
@Alfred Wedmore I would agree with you had we not actually owned a Twingo (90bhp tce, not the GT) and it was a piece of junk. Engine sounded like it was trying to mix gravel in a blender, had big holes in the torque curve, didn’t want to rev, and wasn’t particularly economical (around 45mpg imperial). Also, the car was terrifyingly nose-light and would change lanes in crosswinds. Such a disappointing car, particularly given how cool they look.
Awesome work get that intercooler in and head gasket fitted! My electric project is getting there I've got spinning motors now time to unjury rig everything and go for semi permanent install and test drive!
Nice work on the supercharger temps. Blown head gasket? That's what happens with "blown" (supercharged) engines. Can't wait to see the fix (copper head gasket, maybe?). Also, stronger head studs/bolts?
Yaaaaa the is the best content in the world....... Also have you seen the man that made a tow truck out of a five horsepower engine in a K20 4-speed truck
Pretty time consuming oil tests! Honestly, I don't know how you find the time for your private and professional life, do all these experiments, build the setups, make road tests and record / edit the videos - I guess you are in a time-warp zone :-) Very interesting episode, as always!
@@howiefeltersnatch2973 I used to be like that, with wife, daughter, job and still had time for hobbies (but not at this level). Somewhere along the way I lost my steam, and now, that I'm turning into a couch potato, I can't find time for anything 🙂
I have a VF-40 turbo from a Subaru in my garage. The impeller looked like it ate someone's 10mm socket!! 🤣 I could send it to you to add to your collection 😁🤣
Put on three head gaskets that will help lower the compression and help with power you do want a lower compression on boosted engine. Then I would get head studs. But multiple layers of the gaskets will help
(Question) is it a sealed unit like it only holds 16 fl oz of oil , or does it have two of those fill hole 12:27 if so you could rout lines to an oil cooler where you have more space.(comment) you could add tons more oil volume and fans
Yay turbos. You can see now why turbo yoda doesn't like superchargers and calls them hot air makers xD What a technical machine you've created, quite an accomplishment.
I agree w/ Al but will argue that while blowers are crap (despite being super cheap and easy), twin screw superchargers are very competitive with turbos for street applications
@@krakhedd agreed. turbos make more peak power but twin crews make more torque under the curve critically in the primary operating speeds of street engines. i recommended them for everyone for their street applications.
@@cmcbunch I wanna see those turbos plumbed through a twin screw, but he's already lifting the head at 1/2 bar so maybe 5 bar of boost isn't such a great idea 🤣

PC builder here... It's a good idea to use an radiator like that to keep the supercharger cool. At any rate, it will at least help with the overall life of it. A couple things I saw that you'll want to keep an eye on. One (that's already been mentioned) is to make sure you have an inhibitor of some kind in the fluid. Tbh, some antifreeze should be fine but I wouldn't mix it too hard as I don't think the pumps can take it. Another is the hose you use; that clear tubing looks like what you get from ACE or a farm and home supply store. That tubing is typically rated up to 80C before it starts to break down so it may not be a bad idea to try and find some automotive hose (tranny lines maybe?) to replace it. Otherwise you could gunk up the whole cooling system and having to replace it. I feel like this was just more of a test to see if it worked, and isn't going to be permanent, but in case it is. :)
Computer nerd here! Antec is a really good brand... if that's not counterfeit which it very likely is. You probably want to check the metal the radiator is made of, per Langam's comment -- if it's fake Antec it'll be aluminum. Given that "CPU block"... LOL... I can't imagine it's the real thing... especially since I've never seen a pump config like that. But who knows? Also, I wonder if Mr Regular over at RCR (Regular Car Reviews) could help with the supercharger thing? He knows a lot about JDM stuff, from what I've seen, and especially Subarus. I bet he'd help, especially if you let him drive that monstrosity for a video.
The radiator fan thingy came with a different heat block that had some sort of controller to vary the fan speeds and whatnot. We cut that part off and use a generic heat block that fit the stupid charger better. I would love to see Mr Regular try to drive this thing.... it would probably be a hit on his channel.
@@robotcantina8957 Ohhh okay. That suddenly makes a lot more sense :) Yeah, I'd love to see what Brian makes of that thing lol. You should try and get in touch! Heck, _I'd_ like a ride someday, but I'm in the sort of part of NC where the Holiday Tours buses don't even slow down when it's high noon on a Friday, and the next McDonald's in any direction is 30min away... somehow that's simultaneously quite far away from KS and probably a lot more boring.
@@laserhawk64 At some point when we get things a bit more reliable I may reach out to RCR. Right now as we are trying to tame the supercharger, the car is a bit fragile.
Sure wish I would have seen this 6 months earlier. In the event you revisit this down the road, a few helpful bits learned from the jet engine and high performance worlds: Jet engine oil is mostly used as a heat extraction medium, with lubricity being a relatively distant secondary principle. It's fairly thin in terms of viscosity, more like warm maple syrup, but used in tandem with an oil cooler, it is remarkably effective as a thermodynamic system in moderating temperatures. Your charge intake air can be Cooled by the methanol injection if done directly after compression, preferably in as long a tube to your induction chamber as allowed. The methanol, when injected as fine mist, will evaporate heat and enter the combustion chamber nearly in an ideal gaseous state. Maximum compression and its significantly higher octane rating means you can get more power out of your air fuel mixture. On that note, as I'm sure you're probably aware by now, you'll need a richer ratio than 14.7 as methanol has a lower energy density than gasoline. Working with the intercooler, you get a nice, cool, dense intake charge and can run higher boost to compensate for the lower energy density. On the flip side of all this, most combustion engines get maximum Efficiency the hotter you run them (but less overall power, naturally). The longstanding belief that *watercooled engines get max efficiency with acceptable power at 190-205*F is the "ideal" temperature, whereas air cooled engines can go up a bit with significant and sustained airflow past the cylinder fins. Having enough air to both come into the engine bay and good routing in extraction (hood ducts, extraction channels beneath the vehicle, whatever works for your design) will improve overall system efficacy. NACA ducts work surprisingly well with air cooled applications, both as a moderate enhancement for air compression and lowering drag. Placing them on leading edges works best, though it's not always aesthetically pleasing to do so. If function follows form on this project, you'll be far better off for the effort. Incorporating as many of these as you can to balance performance with design protocols and packaging limitations makes for a very challenging project to tackle, and I look forward if you get to modify your later vehicle with the V-twin!

About the pc cooling pumps, make sure the the water is always above them, air kind of destroys them. Plus those all in one kits are not the most reliable ones, I would the replace it with a single D5 pump.
Looking forward to another great video from ROBOT CANTINA!

There were turbo kits for some Kei cars which used an IHI RHB31 turbo. Suzuki Cappucino was one I think I have both the AMR300 and an IHI turbo. The turbo will shortly be going back on my FZR125 twin, #2. #1 was blown up on the dyno. Those IHI turbos work really well on small engines so well worth giving it a try.
Do you think JIMBO will ever get this thing to 70mph??
possibly.

Hell yeah, K03 turbo! You can program those 1.8t vw engines with stock internals to over 400whp reliably!
Maybe 225hp go versions can go that high. But versions 150-200hp can go max 300-320
Also - 1.8T had K03, K03s or K04 stock
You can safely get 350 out of the AEB, the audi TT225 can take up to like 450.

Aaron, you are the man, thank you for the turbos, cant wait to see how these guys use them!
Hey Jimbo! Aaron here! Hope those add to entertainment and science value! I'm a turbo guy to say the least!
The larger of the two is a K03-15 Found on Audi A4 and VW Passat 1.8T From 1997 to 2004. Too large in my opinion for a 420cc. The smaller turbo however is a variant from a lower RPM diesel 1.9TDI I believe from A 1993-1998 Jetta TDI with a smaller exhaust turbine and housing. I do believe this one will see positive pressure on engines in that range, especially with EFI and an operational RPM over 3000. I would recommend artificially reducing the size of the exhaust housing inlet size if you plan on using it on a smaller engine to increase the focus of exhaust pressure.
I have reason to believe the smaller turbo may solve some issues or add to this current project as well. If used for another project, that would be cool too.
Hope these tidbits help!

Wow that's a unique AIO liquid cooler, I've never seen one with the pumps integrated like that before, and twin pumps is definitely a unique concept. That it's still sold is equally impressive considering it's a 9 year old product.
Where would i find. One of the pump integrated fan?

😇😇😇😇😇😇
Also…you could adjust the pulley size so the peak boost is under 6 psi. That should be usuable intake temps.
Those small turbo's are K03 turbo chargers from the vw mk4 1.8t engine found on the jetta's, passat's and the audi TT's from that era, while tiny they can be good as long as there is not shaft play.

Sounds like you got enough stuff to start a project. Keep in mind that on older Honda's the transmission is on the passenger side of the car and the engine spins backwards from normal cars. The Honda insight that I'm using has the transmission o the drivers side of the car and that is how I'm able to use the predator engine.

That 1.8 hairdryer turbo is plenty, trust me. Idk if that's the KO3 or KO4 but the 3s suffered heat soak while the 4s had better thermals. My 1.8 VW had 15 psi from one of those little things before it dropped a valve and that was far less than the turbo wanted to go. I've heard they can push past 35psi easily on a 1.8 but obviously then you're wearing the lifespan of the turbo. Anyway, might be worth a shot! Don't knock that tiny turbo until you try it 😅
Looking forward to another great video from ROBOT CANTINA!
For engine temp .I would use a metal strap or pipe clamp to put it on the head in contact with the head.
Kei cars are my favourite cars of all, and I can't understand why similar legislation is not common outside Japan. They're all the car you really need, and they're fantastically inventive
@Alfred Wedmore I would agree with you had we not actually owned a Twingo (90bhp tce, not the GT) and it was a piece of junk. Engine sounded like it was trying to mix gravel in a blender, had big holes in the torque curve, didn’t want to rev, and wasn’t particularly economical (around 45mpg imperial). Also, the car was terrifyingly nose-light and would change lanes in crosswinds. Such a disappointing car, particularly given how cool they look.

The P.O. Box address is in the description. A busted turbo may come in handy for some experiments. If you do send it, please put a not in the box. :)
take a look at a polo g40, they have a air bypass if throttle is closed. and it is also mounted very close to the exhoust.
Put on three head gaskets that will help lower the compression and help with power you do want a lower compression on boosted engine. Then I would get head studs. But multiple layers of the gaskets will help
Genius use of computer hardware...

(Question) is it a sealed unit like it only holds 16 fl oz of oil , or does it have two of those fill hole 12:27 if so you could rout lines to an oil cooler where you have more space.(comment) you could add tons more oil volume and fans
Yay turbos. You can see now why turbo yoda doesn't like superchargers and calls them hot air makers xD What a technical machine you've created, quite an accomplishment.
He doesn't have have a problem with all superchargers, just roots blowers.
I agree w/ Al but will argue that while blowers are crap (despite being super cheap and easy), twin screw superchargers are very competitive with turbos for street applications
@@krakhedd agreed. turbos make more peak power but twin crews make more torque under the curve critically in the primary operating speeds of street engines. i recommended them for everyone for their street applications.
@@cmcbunch I wanna see those turbos plumbed through a twin screw, but he's already lifting the head at 1/2 bar so maybe 5 bar of boost isn't such a great idea 🤣

I'm imagining a twin turbo single cylinder engine an I like that
awesome content here.
PC builder here... It's a good idea to use an radiator like that to keep the supercharger cool. At any rate, it will at least help with the overall life of it. A couple things I saw that you'll want to keep an eye on. One (that's already been mentioned) is to make sure you have an inhibitor of some kind in the fluid. Tbh, some antifreeze should be fine but I wouldn't mix it too hard as I don't think the pumps can take it. Another is the hose you use; that clear tubing looks like what you get from ACE or a farm and home supply store. That tubing is typically rated up to 80C before it starts to break down so it may not be a bad idea to try and find some automotive hose (tranny lines maybe?) to replace it. Otherwise you could gunk up the whole cooling system and having to replace it.
I feel like this was just more of a test to see if it worked, and isn't going to be permanent, but in case it is. :)

Computer nerd here! Antec is a really good brand... if that's not counterfeit which it very likely is. You probably want to check the metal the radiator is made of, per Langam's comment -- if it's fake Antec it'll be aluminum. Given that "CPU block"... LOL... I can't imagine it's the real thing... especially since I've never seen a pump config like that. But who knows?
Also, I wonder if Mr Regular over at RCR (Regular Car Reviews) could help with the supercharger thing? He knows a lot about JDM stuff, from what I've seen, and especially Subarus. I bet he'd help, especially if you let him drive that monstrosity for a video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ROBOT CANTINA had a great video this week, !!
The radiator fan thingy came with a different heat block that had some sort of controller to vary the fan speeds and whatnot. We cut that part off and use a generic heat block that fit the stupid charger better. I would love to see Mr Regular try to drive this thing.... it would probably be a hit on his channel.
@@robotcantina8957 Ohhh okay. That suddenly makes a lot more sense :)
Yeah, I'd love to see what Brian makes of that thing lol. You should try and get in touch!
Heck, _I'd_ like a ride someday, but I'm in the sort of part of NC where the Holiday Tours buses don't even slow down when it's high noon on a Friday, and the next McDonald's in any direction is 30min away... somehow that's simultaneously quite far away from KS and probably a lot more boring.
@@laserhawk64 At some point when we get things a bit more reliable I may reach out to RCR. Right now as we are trying to tame the supercharger, the car is a bit fragile.
@@robotcantina8957 Looking forward to another great video soon!
Sure wish I would have seen this 6 months earlier. In the event you revisit this down the road, a few helpful bits learned from the jet engine and high performance worlds:
Jet engine oil is mostly used as a heat extraction medium, with lubricity being a relatively distant secondary principle. It's fairly thin in terms of viscosity, more like warm maple syrup, but used in tandem with an oil cooler, it is remarkably effective as a thermodynamic system in moderating temperatures.
Your charge intake air can be Cooled by the methanol injection if done directly after compression, preferably in as long a tube to your induction chamber as allowed. The methanol, when injected as fine mist, will evaporate heat and enter the combustion chamber nearly in an ideal gaseous state. Maximum compression and its significantly higher octane rating means you can get more power out of your air fuel mixture. On that note, as I'm sure you're probably aware by now, you'll need a richer ratio than 14.7 as methanol has a lower energy density than gasoline. Working with the intercooler, you get a nice, cool, dense intake charge and can run higher boost to compensate for the lower energy density.
On the flip side of all this, most combustion engines get maximum Efficiency the hotter you run them (but less overall power, naturally). The longstanding belief that *watercooled engines get max efficiency with acceptable power at 190-205*F is the "ideal" temperature, whereas air cooled engines can go up a bit with significant and sustained airflow past the cylinder fins. Having enough air to both come into the engine bay and good routing in extraction (hood ducts, extraction channels beneath the vehicle, whatever works for your design) will improve overall system efficacy. NACA ducts work surprisingly well with air cooled applications, both as a moderate enhancement for air compression and lowering drag. Placing them on leading edges works best, though it's not always aesthetically pleasing to do so. If function follows form on this project, you'll be far better off for the effort.
Incorporating as many of these as you can to balance performance with design protocols and packaging limitations makes for a very challenging project to tackle, and I look forward if you get to modify your later vehicle with the V-twin!
Now i'm thinking of gold foil to spread the heat like the Mclaren F1. Might want to start a gofundme for that.
