Here's an idea for a video. Take two Lada engines and merge them together so that they are 180* apart and sharing a single crankshaft to create an eight cylinder boxer engine.
The main journals wouldn't accept two rods, you'd have machine skinny rods from like a subaru or something or grind Lada rods to half their original thickness, which is possible actually. Then you'd have to totally reinvent the oiling system...and put fuel injection on the motor...and adapt the monstrosity to a transmission...and cut apart a car for the thing to fit...
@@nicholasagnew2792 In past projects they've turned two 4 cylinder engines into a 6 cylinder, converted a gas engine to diesel, and put a truck engine in small car. So they certainly have the skill and ingenuity to pull this off.
The UAZ is a dedicated military vehicle, while the H2 Hummer was designed to look like a military vehicle but was intended for shopping and taking kids to school.
It's not surprising to me that the UAZ turned out to be better. I also want to give it extra kudos for not tearing up the grass anywhere near as much as the Hummer did. The H2 did much better than I had expected, though. Well done.
I'm in auto collision and restoration 30+years in America. I'm a GM guy. The H2 and Caddy is a rebodied GMC Yukon/ Chevy Tahoe. Having said that, my freedom dollars are on the UAZ. The Caddy likely has a Positraction diff in the rear, possibly two Torsen style diffs, better traction control that utilises the ABS to aid traction, and better suspension components.
The biggest obstacle was the mosquitoes 🦟. The H2 has nothing in common with a Hummvee (H1). They were a mistake GM would like to forget. Huge, heavy & slow. Interior was full of Walmart grade plastic. I expect you'll be fabricating that thing soon. UAZ looked very similar to a International Scout. I'd rock that thing here in the states for sure.
@@motorkr2857 In the UK we have lots of "green lanes" which are basically offroad trails. Something like a UAZ would be amazing fun for that, and great for round the local area. Not planning any highway trips in it hahahaha
i dunno where do you see international scout there....They're spiritually similar, since we always used americana style designs for our bigger vehicles, but, they're still very different
From Canada we have the same kind of Terrine an Eastern Europe (Russia) This is the kind of vehicle we need instead of all the overprice garbage they keep feeding us they can’t go off routing right out of the box
Im very surprised the H2 and the UAZ did as well as they did on street tires.. Huge difference in weight between the 2 vehicles... UAZ 3600 Lbs.. H2 6400 Lbs.. Need to test something in a closer weight class like a jeep... Looked like an awesome day...👍👍
We had this vehicle in the army, plains, mud, winter, -20 degrees Celsius, it went everywhere and didn't get stuck, it was ugly on outside, even uglier on inside, but it was able to cross kilometers across meadows and fields in the mud almost up to half a wheel. Simple, reliable, without any, any, not the slightest desire to flirt with, not luxury, but the most ordinary feeling in the vehicle. Hard, uncomfortable.But the first choice We had a bunch of vehicles, (I think they were called puch,and that they were made by the Austrian STAYER) They looked a lot like Mercedes G-classes, they also had Mercedes engines, on the road extremely comfortable, the cabin is a bit luxurious, although you can see the military purpose, but off-road zero. When I say zero, I mean zero, at least winter, mud, rain, snow. In the summer it might be different, but we were not interested in trying it. We had UAZ. We were at war and we were not interested in experimenting. Another good vehicle was the Fiat Campanola. It's a small vehicle with narrow tires that cut through the mud nicely, reliable, its only flaw, an open convertible, with a soft roof and tarpaulin that didn't reduce the cold much. But a good vehicle, reliable, capable.It looks very similar (certainly a faithful copy) of famouse American jeep from WW2, only a little smaller, I have that impression. We also had Austrian Pinzgauers, a spacious vehicle that looks a lot like a Volkswagen van (t2 or t3, the one from 1982,3,4,5, with the engine in the back)Quality made, spacious, good heating, but mud and fields are not for him, maybe in summer.It goes, it works, but it's a lot of trouble in a more extreme nature,in winter, and you have the feeling that you're taking a risk (some), and we shouldn't have allowed ourselves to do that.The vehicles that left a good impression were also the Russian ZILs (ZIL), they were almost 40 years old at the time, but they worked flawlessly, they started at -20 without major problems, (ours were all gasoline) and after that winter I was clear why weren't they already scrapped? Because you can simply count on them in such conditions. No beauty, no luxury, some feeling... hmmmm, what can you say,nothing ... but the sound of that powerful engine was like a sound, let's say a mixture a tank and a jet plane, your skin gets goosebumps when it goes uphill. Strong force,and you just feel that.The solid vehicle was a FAP (domestic vehicle,TRUCK , but with a Mercedes license, I think it was a 6*6, so it ran well, it just seems to me that it was a diesel and there were minor problems, sometimes, but again, it ran ,It didn't have the power of a ZIL, but it had a steering wheel that you turn with your little finger, inflating the tires from the cabin, etc., which at that time was, for us, like a Rolls Royce. .
I’m d have the big yellow shouty thing and day , run forever on basic maintenance and spares and when a big EMP / solar flair comes our way no electrics to fry 😂
uaz looks like an international scout- would be cool to see a comparison. H2s are pigs, kudos to you for having the stones to take it in the mud much less out the mall parking lot
When I was in the Army, I spent a good amount of time as a driver for a humvee and gotten them hopelessly stuck before- especially the up-armored ones.
Loved that first hill with the H2, that thing is awesome and shit.it needs a bootfull of throttle to get its big ass up things, good thing it has the power to support it ! That UAZ I've respected as much as my own YJ, and damn, in it current configuration... I don't think my Jeep could make it up, open diffs and all Second hill, learning the throttle more lol, its heavy! you always gotta keep that in mind! Third hill UAZ was sick, I was wanting that vehicle to be put in more of a challenge hill! Flying colors, the restart after it stopped at the top of the hill was world class lol. Glad the H2 made it, power is king in that truck lol. Good stuff when you guys were just cruising around wheeling, seems like a great time. The big hole at the end was a fun time, exactly how i'd drive the hummer, the Lada, damn, just jumped off and had to cope lol Good video, hope you are all doing well
Im from EU! I loved this test, showing this Hummer is a city car with nearly 0 offroad capability because of the useless weight, its just a nice murican way to show off while burning gas... The millitary version with the right tires is more capable! But overall, a "cheap" 4x4 from Russia or Japan is way more able to do offroad with lighter frame! Much Love from France! 😉😘 (PS: I love all russian people but Fuck the extremist government and actions 🙃)
The H2 is actually a Chevrolet truck in drag. The Cadillac Escalade was made to impress the neighbors you can afford $100,000.00 instead of $75,000.00 for the same GMC.
Depends if you want some comfort with your mud and will sacrifice some ability. But an offroader that pops out of gear may negate a lot of performance.
Joined different off road drivers in my life. All sorts of terain. What I learned, get a driver that knows what he is doing. Picked up some things, but I know I would get myself in problems unable to come out of sooner rather than later. Good fun though.
That Soviet UAZ is quite the vehicle, basic but it works. Have a old 99 Jeep Wrangler with basically 31 x 10.5s not that aggressive of tread, but it still works well when SHTF
All SUVs used to have frames before they came out with crossovers. They were pickups with a full body instead of a box. All SUVs these days are just minivans.
I am actually surprised the mall-crawler H2 did as well as it did, especially given the tires weren't great. I honestly expected it to get stuck a lot.
To do a real comparison you would have to have the same exact tire with the same exact tread or the tires that the cars came with from the factory when they were new
That UAZ is so lightweight thats whats really helping it. If that thing had some tires and lockers it would go anywhere. The hummer and caddy are just too heavy.
To compare with British 4Wds, the UAZ is like the old Land Rover where the Hummer is more like the Range Rover. Both are good vehicles but the UAZ must be about 40 years old by now where the Hummer has the latest technology.
These old time offroaders are light and thus very nimble. Fiat Pandas 4x4 are known to beat expensive and specialised vehicles on trials. Now these are getting really expensive.
we are doing a 4l80e transmission swap and 4wd low high range transfer case swap geting rid of the 4l65e transmission and Awd transfer case i hate that it has no low range but its a Chevy so mods are easy as the rest of hummer is a 3/4 ton chevy truck so it need that better transmission and select able transfer case
No sabía que necesitaba una dosis de off-road, lo disfruté como si estuviera alli...me sorprende que la Cadillac del principio subiera mejor la pendiente que la Hammer...el UAZ lo hizo muy muy bien!!
UAZ all the way, it was deemed the closest out there to the British military spec Land Rover's for capability and like the L-R's just about as bullet proof and hard to kill. Soviet Russia did end up with a whole bunch of Austin Champ's from the war effort and you see how the Soviet's reverse engineered a lot from that one vehicle. Its like modern Russian diesel locomotives have at the heart of it, the Brush Kestrel which was a prototype similar to the BR class 47 that the Soviet's bought, took it painstakingly apart and copied, remade diesel engines for loco's in Russia using the Kestrel as their design template. Soviet Vyatka was prob the cheekiest the Soviet's pulled off, Moscow approached Piaggio to allow them to build Vespa's on Russian soil like Vespa were doing in Britain and India and Spain... Piaggio said nyetski and be on your way so the diplomats in Rome for the Soviets bought a brand new Vespa 150cc scooter, sent it home in a diplomatic pouch and painstakingly reverse engineered the whole scooter to produce the Vyatka, a 1:1 absolute clone save the Soviets uprated the suspension to cope with the atrocious roads over there and also thickened the sheet metal having seen the Indian built Vespa's do the same to cope with poor roads.
Theoretically the Hummer is supposed to go anywhere since it has been conceived to follow tanks on battlefields (ok ...this one is not a real Humvee but a classy H2) the old AK47 is visibly better off-roader than the brand new M16 (the Humvees were supposed to go and make war to the people who are using it on the video at the place where they are testing it) If the cold war had changed to a real war, the G.I.s would had problems (the Ladas are indestructible, the UAZ can be fixed with a hammer and the Urals can go anywhere)
Can’t compare classic old fashioned live axles against independent suspension suburban mall crawler’s!👋🤣👍plus the Hummer and Cadillac basically share the same suspension and chassis!
I’m sorry to be the guy that gives you the bad news but that’s a hummer H3 which shares the same engine / chassis / transmission as the Chevy suburban, Cadillac Escalade etc. if you want to compare military grade vehicles you should compare it with the hummer H1. The hummer h2 was a big disappoint it even had fake tire rims as the h1 did but the h1 variant was able to deflate and inflate the tires.
This is an h2. You can see the emblems on the door and the h2 on the from skid plate. And they do share the gmt800 platform like the Tahoe. The h3 was based of the gmt355 platform much like the Colorado is. And the h3 has kind of flavored fenders. Not like the smoother sides of the h2. Both could be had with the fake hummvee rims
I expected the UAZ to rock it, it’s a proper old school mechanical 4x4 like a old Land Rover or Jeep, but……. I’d rather drive the hummer on a 300km journey ;-)
The heavier the vehicle, the deeper it gets stuck in the mud. The H2 was primarily redesigned from the original military Hummer to be a luxury SUV, and not a "real" off- roader. A Humvee should be a more correct vehicle to compare with the UAZ or with any other Russian off-road vehicle.

They've done an inline double and inline triple engine in the past
If you used two cranks that are gear driven it would do some weird stuff because one would be counter rotating.

No you wouldn't. Drinks gas like a 7.2l V8 and drivers like a garbage truck.
The UAZ looks an awful lot like a 62 International Scout mail truck that I owned as a teenager.
But works well and its simply.
Probably the design is from the era as these are made since 1971._
Because the Russians stole a lot and they couldn't invent much on their own.
Most soviet designs were bought on license and then tweaked a little.@@DjResR

@@Colorado_Native Yeah, lacking there & breakover.

You guys should do an off-road build on the Uaz. Lift kit, larger tires, and a couple lockers. Then, put it up against the same built Jeep.

i'd love a UAZ.. gotta settle for just driving one in snowrunner i guess 😥
I think it can be difficult when weight and front is playing with slippery surface and even side wind and becomes important

Great video, I would have liked to have seen all vehicles on good mud tyres of the same type.👍
The hummer and caddy in Russia probably both have there serial plates ground off to save weight.
To do a real comparison you would have to have the same exact tire with the same exact tread or the tires that the cars came with from the factory when they were new

Please Mercedes Unimog vs GAZ 66!
UAZ Number one...simplicity at its best
Funny to watch :-) . At the same time, Hummer weighs 2900kg, the UAZ 1500kg. What we see here, is effectively a mud tire test.
These old time offroaders are light and thus very nimble. Fiat Pandas 4x4 are known to beat expensive and specialised vehicles on trials. Now these are getting really expensive.
Honestly the H2 did pretty good for Russian Taiga, that stuff is no joke. UAZ is the definite winner but that's no surprise
it would help if the tires werent bald basically street looking tires if they had some tread they would catch and not slide as much.
Ha let's off road!! The ground is soft but not to wet!! Anyway what a laugh you guys had😂😂😂.
Children's games. If you could see on what roads we drive a UAZ loaf... only timber trucks and 6x6 KamAZ trucks drive on those roads.
i was stuck with my Chevy Blazer m1009 at a Militarytestground for Tanks near Augustdorf. 5 Nivas pull me out now i own one...
In that thin greasy mud, it's all about the tires. The only thing worse than wide tires on that stuff is wide low profile tires.
Keeping the tires cleared is key! Unless you're a giant hummer with a terrible power to weight ratio
It's all about the tyres. 🙂
Now try taking a kei truck like a Suzuki Carry or Honda Acty. Curious how their light weight and short wheel base would handle those challenges.
As much as I like the Uaz, I would very much prefer a certain 4 wheel drive van. Love me a good Loaf.
Yeah, funny how when you disengaged traction control on the Hummer and the got the wheels spinning it immediately jumped right up the hill
Genial video .Cuando un uaz hunter vs suzuki samurai? 😅
Thanks :)

Weight plays a big difference on mud too. That hummer weighs at least 2.5 times more than the uaz
Low range is good for 2 things, pulling or crawling. When you're in the mud you need wheel speed! Keep it in 4 high!
Heavier vehicles means you need more wheel speed. Gotta clean out the tread to get traction.
It would be interesting to see using snow chains in these conditions
Fun video! Would have worked better with some Cordiant Off Road tires.
Hardly a comparison. The UAZ would be half the weight of the H2 . If they both had chains it would be the other way.
Everyone immediately knew it shoulda been an H1.
What you need is Praga V3S.

Theoretically the Hummer is supposed to go anywhere since it has been conceived to follow tanks on battlefields (ok ...this one is not a real Humvee but a classy H2)
the old AK47 is visibly better off-roader than the brand new M16 (the Humvees were supposed to go and make war to the people who are using it on the video at the place where they are testing it)
If the cold war had changed to a real war, the G.I.s would had problems (the Ladas are indestructible, the UAZ can be fixed with a hammer and the Urals can go anywhere)
That UAZ would be childs play with better tires. The Hummer as well.
Can’t compare classic old fashioned live axles against independent suspension suburban mall crawler’s!👋🤣👍plus the Hummer and Cadillac basically share the same suspension and chassis!
I’m sorry to be the guy that gives you the bad news but that’s a hummer H3 which shares the same engine / chassis / transmission as the Chevy suburban, Cadillac Escalade etc. if you want to compare military grade vehicles you should compare it with the hummer H1. The hummer h2 was a big disappoint it even had fake tire rims as the h1 did but the h1 variant was able to deflate and inflate the tires.
This is an h2. You can see the emblems on the door and the h2 on the from skid plate. And they do share the gmt800 platform like the Tahoe.
The h3 was based of the gmt355 platform much like the Colorado is. And the h3 has kind of flavored fenders. Not like the smoother sides of the h2.
Both could be had with the fake hummvee rims
H2 is a poseur 4x4, should have tried the H1
Exactly
You need to make an off road lifted lada!! Even try a Honda element
I own a couple of UAZ's.......only in Snowrunner, but still.
This is great content!
The problem was; filled tires. Make em spin, so they get fresh grip and see the difference. Horsepower makes the difference!
I expected the UAZ to rock it, it’s a proper old school mechanical 4x4 like a old Land Rover or Jeep, but……. I’d rather drive the hummer on a 300km journey ;-)
The heavier the vehicle, the deeper it gets stuck in the mud. The H2 was primarily redesigned from the original military Hummer to be a luxury SUV, and not a "real" off- roader. A Humvee should be a more correct vehicle to compare with the UAZ or with any other Russian off-road vehicle.
I'd like to see your team try to build, and road test, a U-Type engine.
