You guys are gonna need some high octane fuel to combat spark knock. And proper timing. Can’t wait to see this fellas. Then get that engine in something and get that power to the ground. I’ll be on the edge of my seat to see this.
You guys are right in the diesel engine territory with that kind of cylinder pressure. So it would be interesting to see how long the modified gasoline engine would last on diesel fuel with the injectors mounted into the spark plug holes with the machined diesel injector clamps mounted to where the spark plugs should be in just so they stay put and hold the pressure.
The oil tings is designed to hold oil to evenly lube the cylinder, and remove excess, the lower ring is to scrape oil from the wall, keeping it out of the combustion chamber, the reason the more rings raised compression, is because the rings are higher on the piston.. you could simply add a ring land at the top of the piston, and move the existing rings up, more rings only rob power, more friction! And it takes time to seat the rings to get a good deal!
WTF!!! 20:1 From a Lada engine that's insane congratulations to the team there! 😃that means, they achieved better compression ratio even from the modern (skyactiv) combustion engines of Mazda. Well done guys there! I appreciate your simple and the hardworking way that you all devoted to your projects. Thumbs up from me Garage54!
No my man, you mixed all up and is confusing all the terms! 20:1 is simply a ratio of how many times the compression volume can be inside the cylinder volume(stroke volume + compression volume). It has nothing to do with pressure! But you can say that in order for a diesel engine to run properly, you need at least 18:1 or more than that. Mazda has achieved 14:1 in their diesel engine, but has a hard time to start in winter due to low pressure and therefor low heat. But they managed to sort that out using exhaust and glow plugs. The reason they did the low compression ratio was because it produces less NOx and particulates! The new skyactiv x that runs on gas, has a compression ratio of 16:1. What the actual compression pressure is, I don’t know, but could be in the region of 15-20 bar of pressure. For diesel engines the compression pressure must be between 30 to 50 bar in order for the finely misted diesel fuel to ignite
There is a certain pressure threshold before it will behave like a diesel engine. A diesel engine has pressure of 300 - 500 psi. And that engine is producing compression similar to low end of diesel compression.
Vlad will have to send the stock Lada cam to Isky Cams in California. They can analyze the stock cam and then make an entirely new custom cam from scratch for this particular Lada engine.
It will bend the rods instantly. Engine knock is basically how diesel engines work, with that high compression, idk if it will last long even on straight gasoline or LPG
I built a Honda engine that maxed out a 300 psi gauge in 3 rotations so we had no idea how high it really was, it took a pair of pliers to hit the release valve
The best way to increase dynamic compression is camshaft timing. Advance the cam a bit. Maybe 4 degrees or so, and you'll get more low end grunt. Also, good cylinder head port, and seat work will help. Try a 5 angle valve job, and cut the intake valves and seats to 30 degrees. This will present more open area at the valve curtain at lower lifts, and will enhance low lift flow, improves cylinder scavenging, and will build low end torque
wish they would someday combine all power boosting experiments into one vechile. Like what beast it would make with dual engines, shaved crankshafts, dual carbies, extra piston ring... plus whanever else i forgot
The main issue I imagine is the total combustion pressure is relative to normal atmospheric pressure, there's probably some sort of a curve that shows the inefficiencies of too-high compression where at some point you're using all the combustion energy just to compress the next shot, and no useful energy comes out of the crankshaft.
@@Chris_Garman you don't know how physics work do you. Good luck magically harnessing all the kinetic energy from a tiny explosion in a tiny chamber where you nearly have no control over combustion timing, and then having it somehow flywheel into another compression.
@@dimitar4y Look in the mirror perhaps? If nothing is absorbing the energy through heat or deformation, it is all harnessed. Generally 1/3 of ICE energy is waste heat.
Practical engines have been built with ratios up to 25:1 this is about 20:1. What your saying sounds right but a good few engines have gotten to the same level or not quite alot higher ratios.
Maybe it would be wise to back the timing right down on this thing and run 50% gasoline and 50% diesel to begin with. I wonder if the connecting rods are going to hold up. Don't really understand the reason for putting compression rings where the oil ring should be. Hopefully this isn't a problem for lubrication
@@TurboVisBits Well, technically you're pumping air with an engine, which is a fluid but not liquid. And you're not trying to compress liquid on any refrigeration system, just the low temp/low pressure gas into high temp/pressure gas into the condensing coil. But even so, this wouldn't work as there's too much leakage everywhere and you'd just keep loosing refrigerant. Cars still use piston based compressors, and there are piston based compressors for HVAC, however they've fallen way out of favor for scroll and centrifugal the last 20 years.
This engine could be suited to run on diesel, considering the high compression ratio. But it needs to have its internals strengthened so that it doesn't disintegrate after a short while
Most diesels I have worked on had about 500 PSI compression pressure. Now that is with one injector out and the fuel line dumping into a jar or jumpered in the case of Detroit. Compression is with the engine running. Don't know how the 285 was attained. A bit high for conventional gasoline technology, but Mazda has an engine running that way, and I believe lean burn.
Not sure if the connecting rods will be able to survive the extra compression, I have a feeling a piston and/or rod is eventually going to break. Also you must have an oil ring on the pistons, premature wear on the rings and cylinder walls will happen and also more friction and heat will be generated, basically the engine won't last, could even seize.
Wondering with all that decking if they adjusted the valve clearance of it was OK on that engine? Even non interference engines can run close to the pistons. Looking forward to seeing this being converted to a Diesel which I bet is the game but the question will be how well the bottom end will/ would hold up as well as maybe the rods? Have thought of doing this myself on a larger engine doing low power but being able to run on diesel for a generator.
@@DarkLinkAD they work fine for non dry sump applications.. lots of goofy scenario... gas ports on stock cams cause problems, vac pumps cause problems... shrug.
its going to seize, dril someo tiny holes in the lower 2 sets of rings, dress and polish, at least there will be a way to oil the cylinders, for the compression issue you need a jake brake or compression reaslee for each barrel... you open it up then slowly close while cranking over with ignition and fuel on, she'll fire and spin on 12V
An idea I just had: What would happen if you put like 3 or 4 brake calipers on each brake disk on a car? Would the brakes be extremely twitchy or what would happen? Could you lock up the tires at 50km/h?
It’s great how you lot keep coming up with new ideas and testing them out so we don’t have too. Have you tried fitting a different head to the larda engine block or fit a larda head to a different engine block. I used to test that when I worked at the scrap yard. I found 3 different engines that you can swap heads and blocks
They should weld the cam then file and sand it all smooth and see if they can make there own performance cam... They would have to figure out how to harden the lobes perhaps using a stick welder with a really hard rod...
Please get a base line on a dino or a tuner program. Also with that many rings I’d let it idle for awhile or go around the block a couple times not to exceed 2000rpm and do an oil change.
if the valves are open at all during any compression what so ever, you have so much that it could be pressurizing the head therefore the crank case. could explain the blow by. different cam and valves shell run mint
Assuming the already in place set of piston rings was installed correctly with proper end gap and the cylinder bore is not excessively out of round or tapered, adding additional ring sets will not offer any significant advantage. GM played with this on several "Big Block" truck engines back in the 1960s. If additional rings worked it would be something raceing teams were doing as a regular thing. But in reality all it does is increase frictional losses and operating temperatures.
You can run with this much compression, it takes 130 octane leaded aircraft fuel, and a retarding of the ignition timing, but, it is feasible. I seen my cousin run an Oldsmobile 5.7 liter diesel this way, back thirty five years ago. That little engine was a torque monster
I would like to see a motor running with HHO only. It would be a kind of electric motor with low efficiency because a big battery would be needed to make the gaz
You might have to run that engine on natural gas (120 octane) CNG, or propane, something nice and slow burning, and then try diesel 😂, I machined 2mm off my Nissan GA16DE cylinder head and it just happened to be 1cr per mm, and ended up being 12.5 - 1cr, so I can only keep it happy on Gull 98 😊
I had a opel gt with 18 kilos and i had to run 105 fuel and two cans of Is octane boost just stop the spark Knock. The car ran great 0 two sixty in 3 seconds top speed at 185mph.
gotta appreciate the russian stereotype of always wearing a tracksuit and buddy puts on his fancy tracksuit for this vid love the videos just poking the russian bear
One of three things will happen once the engine starts 1. Head bolts/studs will fail and head will shoot off 2. Main cap bolts/studs will fail and crank will fly out the bottom 3. If they run gasoline as the fuel, the plugs will blow out the head, or there will be a massive predetonation that will destroy the engine
Wonder if they’ll try running it on diesel, should easily run with that compression
They would need to modify the head to fit diesel injectors, somehow fit a pump, and then the rods would probably just bend.
Ethanol or methanol mixtures of high octane petrol or something like that. Maybe pure petrol. LPG is an option.
@@kordta Would be too high for methanol as well i think. LPG might work, but i doubt the engine would live long.
I wonder running E90 or even some leaded aircraft fuel would suffice
Nitromethane used in RC cars/planes might work, but still it's very high compression.
He’s like Gru in that he’s a good guy, but he’s always cooking up something diabolical to do to ladas. The shop workers are definitely his minions.

Ethanol is perfect for that.
@Ti They’ll probably need around 120 octane. This can go very bad, very quickly.
Spark knock? Do you mean preignition as it occurs prior to the spark?
i think knocking is the idea, so much knocking that spark plugs wont be necessary.
@@ohyou_6599 Diesel it is!

how many rings is to many rings you asked well watch and find out🤣

@Karl with a K definitely not next to nothing. Piston rings cause a significant portion of a whole engine friction.
@Karl with a K karl, i would just like to add that the high performance racing 2 stroke engines mainly use single ring pistons
But the two strokes racers aren't diesel either
@@Samheraghty-qs7uz matters notwhat kind of fuel the engine uses-their pistons still have ring(s)

Not so sure all that cylinder pressure wont blow the head off?
That engine is either going to run really good or it's going to get ugly quick!
It'll knock harder than a bailiff
Big end shells will probably give up
My lawnmower has 250 PSI per piston ( it is an old TurfTiger)
@@AndrewAudio that sounds pretty high for a gasoline enginge ... maybe your valves need adjusting?

Spark Plug holes for the injectors and where the distributor goes for the diesel pump.
Glow plugs are optional
i like where you are going with this !!!
It will bend the rods instantly. Engine knock is basically how diesel engines work, with that high compression, idk if it will last long even on straight gasoline or LPG
As long as narrowing the ring lands don't break that should be awesome for torque even with the added drag.

One of three things will happen once the engine starts
1. Head bolts/studs will fail and head will shoot off
2. Main cap bolts/studs will fail and crank will fly out the bottom
3. If they run gasoline as the fuel, the plugs will blow out the head, or there will be a massive predetonation that will destroy the engine
Detonation will be a issue , if the pistons hold up
