- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- HOW MUCH POWER IS AN AMR500 BLOWER WORTH? CAN I INSTALL AN AMR BLOWER ON THE 1994 GEO METRO XFI MOTOR? HOW MUCH BOOST WILL THE METRO XFI MOTOR TAKE? DOES THE XFI MOTOR EVEN RUN? DOES IT HAVE COMPRESSION? DOES IT NEED A BATH? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I EXPLAIN THAT I BOUGHT A METRO XFI ONLY BECAUSE I HAD AN AMR500 SUPERCHARGER SITTING IN MY GARAGE. I NEEDED A CAR/MOTOR TO DYNO TEST IT ON! BEFORE ADDING BOOST, I NEEDED TO FIND OUT IF THE MOTOR EVEN WORKED? WAS THE 1.0L MOTOR HITTING ON ALL 3 CYLINDERS? WHY IS IT CALLED PANDA X-PRESS? WHAT DID IT NEED TO GET RUNNING PROPERLY? LET'S JUST GET THE MOTOR STARTED HERE IN PART 1.
Robot Cantina style! Thats what we all needed . Not 10000 $ on a transmission but 250 on a car
Those old metros never die. Absolutely gutless especially with the 3 cylinder but they got stupid good fuel economy for the time. A friend in high school had one and we would take it everywhere because $5 in gas would get you 200 miles. This was the late 90s/early 00s
Man this is what I have been waiting years for!!!!
I drove my mom's 3 cylinder Chevy Sprint to college back in 1993.
It was a 3 speed auto. After racing on the motocross track against my buddy in his 2 wheel drive Toyota truck, you had to shift manually.
If it was in drive, you were in 3 Rd gear. It would not shift from the gear you had selected.
It knew what it needed, driven!
My Mom took it to a transmission shop and they told her to leave it, people would pay to have that done to a car.
48mpg religiously. Not bad for a four door car.
Now that is a smart car.
Tdi swapped my 1981 vw rabbit
It got 54mpg in a car that weighs 800lbs more.
75mpg
And 3x as fast as it was new.
That is a smart vehicle to own.
The car did not have idiot shift is what we would call it where I’m from
I see someone's seen Robot Cantina's channel
These are the droids you're looking for. Robot cantina is great
Other way around, this guys written books I can guarantee robot cantinas had a gander at.
The g10 can take up to 20psi of boost stock n anything past that it will delete the head gasket, you can also take 40 thousands of off the cylinder head to bump compression especially since you have the Xfi cam already your golden. I have a few vids on my channel of the metros me n my buddy n my son have worked on. Check out more power geo.
Great adventure! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
My guess for the reason the timing cover is that way: someone wanted to change the timing belt but didn't want to remove all the pulleys and get everything else out of the way, so they bent the plastic cover back, made the change (or didn't) then let the alt-belt self clearance. Probably why that bolt is missing as well.
Stoked to see what you do with this, and hoping for a Richard Holdener / @robotcantina8957 crossover episode (like so many other commenters have said.)
That restaurant is in my home town in Washington State! We used to go there all the time.
Which town is that? I live in Tacoma and I’ve never seen that place
@@partysodown east Vancouver.
Mad Scientist Mode. Richard doing us all a favor by satisfying our curiosity
A can of Restore with CSL is always worth a try.
It has good compression rhough
@@manworksgarage I had to abandon the video to give my kids showers. I should have said more -- worth a try if the compression isn't the greatest. I still run a can every 4 oil changes as a preventative maintenance, since 2007.
@@der_pinguin44 figured you left early. Indo that a lot too
Love the metro! Loved mine when i had it! Yes it needed boost!
I love it! A real world low budget project. I can't wait to see more!
Screen the intake between the engine and SC to catch all the rotor pieces when it all comes apart! I've seen a lot of them come apart idk why but I think it might have to do with high vacuum during throttle deceleration . Most SC cars now are plumbed with a bypass system
Glad to see the engine seems healthy, cant wait to see if make some boost.
This is great content. really looking forward to the next episode.
That's a Belt Guide! It mayn't have been years ago but is now! I'd keep it!
I love and appreciate the idea of this! Can’t wait to see the progress
That car cover costs more.than the car itself!! The sprint turbo is very awesome though!!
Great project, black wheels or not. Looking forward to THREE DIGIT POWER FIGURES some time soon! And blower whine.
3 digs would be cool
Hot Rod Shop has done this but he made it racer only and ran Holley sniper . I would like to see a tamer street version that still might get in the 30's mpg range. He milled the head at least .04 and ported the snot out of it. Then he ran E85 with 20 + lbs of boost. Definitely a tuff little engine.
ONLY 30 MPG ON A METRO?
What a cool project ! I love your logic , I got a supercharger , now I need a vehicle to put it on , my way of thinking too . Thought it was funny the first battery was almost as big as the engine (or motor as the case may be).
I had an idea that since the bore space is the same and bore size is close, 3.900 to 3.898, it would be cool to see the 1990-1995 lt5 dohc heads on an ls or an ls1 specifically. The lt5 dohc heads with some porting, flow 350-370 cfm.
THE BORE SIZE WOULD BE THE LEAST OF THE CHALLENGE WITH TRYING TO RUN DOHC HEADS ON A CONVENTIONAL LT1
Nice! Can't wait to see what you can do with this combo.
Looks like a fun project
I literally have 3 motors and 3 transmissions my dad loved them the front strut mounts all rotted out but he didn't want to part with them
No rpm gauge, fancy!
Great project, can't wait.
Why do you want an intercooler? It's a positive displacement pump, it will move air fuel to the other side of supercharger regardless of the density of the air fuel on the manifold side .
to lower temps-a PD blower is especially bad at higher boost levels (needs intercooler)
Lol I remember when I owned my 94 Corolla 1.6 I worked at a factory and raced my buddy with a little 3cyl geo haha it was close
funny how i just seen one of these superchargers today for the first time and now your video pops up. i was just browsing for some boost options for my new hot rod project. little large for a briggs 11 hp i would say lol i will be following your project as usual. keep up the great content
It might not be a little large for it depending on the displacement of the Briggs and Stratton usually they're a low constant rpm decent capacity motor.
These don't always make boost on things 1.5 litres or over because the motor can take the flow.
It only produces 500cc per revolution. At a 2:1 ratio that's 1 litre or .035cfm at 3000 rpm that would be 105 CFM.
the blower will support 150 hp-it is not displacement-it is flow
RUclips red beards garage!
They also make AMR 300
Should compare IAT with the throttle body placement. I know a guy that tossed a amr500 on a suzuki g16 and the iat dropped alot just from moving the throttle body location.
I like your dyno videos
This is really cool project. I love the dyno but car stuff is just cooler
That is cool Richard!!!!
That's a very nice little project to have you got something up your sleeve all right Mr Holden let's see what you going to do with it. 600 horsepower 👑💯💯👍
600 HP with a 2V 1.0L?
@@richardholdener1727 140 psi of boost and a touch of nitrous should get it there. Rotating assembly and head gasket may disagree.
@@richardholdener1727achievable during a few microseconds , then some engine part might get to orbit😂
His HOA told him to cover the geo up immediately😂
there is no HOA
What is the purpose of the rotor button having such a long transfer end on it? I've only seen that a few times and always wondered.
You need to put in the exhaust valve from the turbo version! Exhaust valves in the non-turbo engine will burn/tulip very easy.
I have two turbo Sprint motors-one of them has all forged components
If you need a Panda Faaaast!
Did your HOA make you put that cover on?!? 😂. Booooooooooost🎉🎉🎉
i learned to drive a manual 5-speed in a metro... More speeds than cylinders hahahahahahahaha!
Honestly the closest to 50 mpg ever made, was a damned good little car.
with the price of gas in So Cal, I might buy a Metro to😫
Looks like a fun project. 😎
Those cheap bolt together battery terminals are junk. The plate is thin so bends before it really clamps tight. Which allows it to get surface corrosion in there and will loose connection.
You can take it apart, wire brush everything, and they’ll usually start working again. But, crimp on terminals are much better if you can’t get a pre-made cable.
the whole wire was junk
Can Richie push the panda Xpress to Gr Yaris/Corolla 3 cylinder territory? 300hp,100hp per hole, can the geo really do it?
That is a much better 4-valve motor-Even 100 hp (double the factory power output) with the 2V motor will be good
Say I think this is pretty cool cuz I wanted a supercharger for my 2.2 L S10 and I can't find anything right now this might be a viable option
Amr is probably small for the 1.0l
the AMR500 will support 150 hp or so
Is the AMR worth the squeeze?
turbo would be better-but AMR is cool
Can you do Holley efi vs aces jackpot
if the EFI gives you the correct Af and timing-they make the same power
Would this work for a d16y7?!
it can support 150 hp
Timing cover is *Self Clearancing* - Pro Tip - Remove it for an extra ~15HP!
15 hp would be a 30% gain in power!
Maybe 1.5 hp gain
@@darcypenner215 Crank, or wheel? Yeah 3ish at the wheels -- 12~15hp minimum flywheel(: add some stickers for moar
Chilly Bob intercooler will perform better 😂
Looks like they already did some weight reduction for ya haha
Oooo I will be following since I have honda insight
Fortunately the ring gap is .0261060 so you're good there.
Delete the top part of that timing cover.
No 6/pac 6/barrel came like that? Your to young to know. You don't know about gas rationing either. waiting in line for 10 gallons of gas
came like what?
Why do have to use the biggest piece of crap we can find? This is a waste of the cheap blower
Can't wait for the BTR Panda Express Series 3cyl turbo cams.
"turbo cams" multifaceted LOL there
They should call it the wrong cam
@@madmodOr the wong cam.
@@neilsmith8790 btr chopstick cam. Emphasis on the chop lol
I'm curious to see what u have to do to get positive pressure. All the videos I have seen when people try those it restricts air I think I found a video were a old bug was getting 1.5psi out of it but not sure. If anybody can make it work right it should be you. Good video thank you can not wait until part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Richard, its Chris from the Geo Group. The XFI motor is if it is still original has a special low rpm torque cam, and low friction 2 ring pistons (1 comp ring and 1 oil ring set), plus the ECU and highway geared transmission. Should handle boost fine as those rings/pistons leak down quickly when worn. They are known to burn exhaust valves when ran hot and egr is clogged. Would like to see how you control timing as boost increases and add fuel. Thank you for all the videos you do!!!
Wish i knew of those little SC back when i had my 4 cylinder Sonoma
This car makes me think you don't actually have any friends.
Richard are these motors capable of making around 150hp 200tq ? I'm in the process of a second engine build with a chevy sprint head, 1.6 pistons believe to be 74mm bore. Will be turbocharged using a updraft carburetor
My 1971 monaco/ black and white ( manual steering No heater or a/c) 440 727/ 12.5 compression purple shaft cam dual points distributor 780 holley vacuum secondary . I bought in 1981
I bet the interior smells like nightmares
and broken dreams
YES! SUZUKI POWER!
I remember my old geo metro best $700 I spent
Battery is bigger than the engine
Suzuki swift here in OZ
Watch it LOSE power.
Thrust bearing ok on crank?
I noticed a lot of your videos don't actually have the final finished product although assumed in description and make people wait for some future release. I'm out.
😂
Well bye
That motor sounded like a lawn mower cranking
Glad I am not the only one thinking that! Sounds just like the 17.5 briggs on my lawn mower
What happened to the GLH!? A whole lotta lead up and then....crickets. 😢
it is running and needs to come back to Cali
Are you going to use the "Super Richie" inlet and outlet on the amr500 ?
yes, but I need to do better ones, but they won't be much of a restriction on this power level
You put a car cover on that? Over budget.
I had to hide it
Fair enough.
I would like to see a test done between stock Chevrolet hydraulic, roller, lifters, and aftermarket performance hydraulic roller lifters. Maybe you already have done this test?
what are the lifters going to change?
@@richardholdener1727 I’d like to know if the stock chevy hydraulic roller lifters are collapsing or bleeding off lift and sacrificing horsepower compared to aftermarket hydraulic roller lifters. The cam I put in my 4.3 V6 just doesn’t seem to be giving the hp and torque as it should. The valve train is much more noisy also.
Pulley looks backwards
I'll check that
It's missing a pedal. 🤨
they were all there
mooaaarrr boost plz sirrah
This'll be a quick lil ripper no doubt
What kind of brakes are you planning to run with once the power is there?
Still, have to say...
Richard, your enthusiasm is legendary
So glad I found your channel
Love the M90 LS content...my c/c limit might just redline with the bad ideas I'm getting
👍HELLS YEAH! Richard delivers truth within the context he is sharing, yet many take it "out of context" which creates the controversy that is not only entertaining, but is .... creating many memes that we all enjoy, and more importantly builds on the engagement this channel needs to "grow" so Richard can continue to share his wisdom for those whose that are willing to apply due diligence and "create more powah" in the context of actually making more powah, not stuck in the friggen weeds of LSA, TB size, stroke is the only way to torque,,, (lol) etc, etc. while the simple among us continue to "argue" out of context... (even though we disagree, we do appreciate your contribution to creating engagement on this channel😉) which actually helps this channel.
GO RICHARD!
I see you have a harbor freight battery charger. Don't we all.😅😅😅 . Love the videos.
I have a gauge bezel with a tach. You want it?
LOL, nice, Richard love this goofy project!
Suzuki makes some reliable cars.
What you really want is a honda insight. I know cause I own two.
Love those too-for Bonneville
I think it needs a swift turbo distributior and blowthroug carb. The front cover is close but check for missing hardware .
there was at least 1 missing bolt-but I think I will cut it
@@richardholdener1727 I used a piston stop and made my own TDC 0⁰ indicator haven't had a cover in 10+ years
Hilarious you build 5-700-1000+ hp motors that do notbing but make noise and numbers but you have to build a platform to drive around a supercharged popcorn machine....
some guys just don't get it
@@richardholdener1727 get what? Doing something because you want to try to?
