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. 🤷🏼♂️
@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'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.
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.
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 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 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!
Hey mate don’t normally comment on videos but but your made a great instructional tutorial! Everything you need and no bs, good tips and I enjoyed watching, you have a talent here!
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..
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!
Hey. Best video ever. You never see videos like this where you are walked through step by step and thoroughly explained everything!! I love it. Can’t wait to watch more of your channel. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough!
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
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.
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'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
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!
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
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
Good sir, it's this type of video why i went to RUclips way back in the day!!!! I've learned allot from doing so. Thank you and your team for providing this content.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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..
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 😜
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!
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.
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
@@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
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
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!
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.
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
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 RUclips! 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!
It's a really cool video, but also, I just want you to know Red Beard Garage, the way you signed out this video means something. You may just be a stranger on a screen talking to anyone, but words like that can catch the right person on their wrong day the right way. So, thank you for adding kindness to the world.
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.
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
this is a really cool project and end result but i cant see justifying spending that much on parts when you could get a used CBR600RR or R1 for a few grand and reliably yeet yourself into the sun on a buggy.
That would be assuming the cost is somewhat similar though. It's cool seeing these sorts of unassuming engines built into something they were never designed for. A packaged bike engine would be rather yawn.
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
The arguments here are funny. This guy has a professional shop with every resource needed. Hes not your 14 yr old trying to build something with nothing by watching a few YT videos. He's been through trial and error and is giving you the best information he can. This is his hobby. Buying a 212 predator and thinking you can build it and have everything going smooth in 35 minutes is bc you you expected the time to amount to the actual build. This guy probably spends a few days doing these builds if not more bc of machining work from another shop. The video is very informative

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.
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'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
It doesn't matter that much... they spin around when the engine runs.
Y’all gave this engine the attention that a race engine might get. Can tell y’all love what you do. Really impressive work!
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.
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.
Qardo
Coulda gained ten horses with a can of red rustoleum..... everyone knows red is faster....
powder coated crap added 100hp
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ ah yes the ol wh40k ork method works best. Not fast enough? Just add more red
Ok, but where's the flaming skull stickers?
You’ll lose power actually. The cover is what makes the fan on the front work, a overheated engine will lose power.

"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.
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 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
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!
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.
Didn’t even show installing the supercharger…
Kinda why I clicked on the vid.......🫤
I could take it apart, it’s never going to be put back together again!
How cool would it be to build this exact engine he just built and put it in golf cart
Not cool at all.
I kind of want to see one on a Sportster and one on a 4 wheeler. 🤣
Or hook it to a gear box and put it on a chopper.
Appreciate the full build and info, great work.
This is the best way to explain the difference between a Hemi and a Supercharged Hellcat Hemi
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.
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.
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 RUclips! 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!
Thank you very much!
@@RedBeardsGarage You are most welcome and I look forward to seeing your other videos!
It's a really cool video, but also, I just want you to know Red Beard Garage, the way you signed out this video means something.
You may just be a stranger on a screen talking to anyone, but words like that can catch the right person on their wrong day the right way.
So, thank you for adding kindness to the world.
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.
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,
God I wouldn’t know how to put all them springs and shit back together 😂
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
These are the channels worth subscribing to well done !!
,, 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.
this is a really cool project and end result but i cant see justifying spending that much on parts when you could get a used CBR600RR or R1 for a few grand and reliably yeet yourself into the sun on a buggy.
Or even an SV 650 for the V twin vibe!
That would be assuming the cost is somewhat similar though.
It's cool seeing these sorts of unassuming engines built into something they were never designed for. A packaged bike engine would be rather yawn.
Its just something cool because everyone does the motorcycle engine swap.
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.
I like that you went to the point of detail of putting the fasteners size footnotes in along the way.
I love how you go in depth with your engine build videos. Thanks for sharing :)
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.
Seriously , how do you remember where everything goes after you pull it apart?
iphone video footage.. just record everything you do and re-watch the video to put it all back . Works great for Motors and motherboards. :)
Where is the rest of the charger install
Smack bang at the top of the vid description...
The arguments here are funny. This guy has a professional shop with every resource needed. Hes not your 14 yr old trying to build something with nothing by watching a few YT videos. He's been through trial and error and is giving you the best information he can. This is his hobby. Buying a 212 predator and thinking you can build it and have everything going smooth in 35 minutes is bc you you expected the time to amount to the actual build. This guy probably spends a few days doing these builds if not more bc of machining work from another shop. The video is very informative
