We Tried to Build the World’s Smallest V8

The Journey of RC Car Engineering: A Story of Troubleshooting and Triumph

Another day, another problem. At this point, we can get the engine spinning, but the fuel just isn't igniting. This could be for a few different reasons. When we wired up our battery, we wanted to power the glow plugs, which we did. However, we didn't account for powering the starter. It's possible that the battery doesn't have enough amperage for the starter and the plugs.

While the engine is spinning, the glow plugs aren't hot enough to actually ignite the Nitro, which results in the fuel spilling out of the exhaust. This creates its own problems - it's on fire, so that's a big issue. It's not super obvious when something is on fire, like right there you can see it.

Or maybe the engine isn't compressing the fuel enough. Maybe the glow plug shorted out. The scaled-down physics of a smaller engine make it way different than your average V8. We thought we were going to be done with this project two weeks ago. That's why it's having trouble pulling it, and now we're just adding way too much fuel.

Maybe that's definitely feeding the problem. That wasn't the issue. Come on, well well. But we can't get this thing running, and we're not going to give up. So I guess it's time to call in the nuclear option - part two of the sequel. You might remember Pacific Coast Hobbies from our previous video on RC cars. They happen to be experts on all things small and vehicular.

They were willing to help us out together, and we came up with a new plan. The plan is to use eight individual glow plug heaters to power the plugs. This means we'll only have to worry about powering the starter if we can do this in theory, we can finally fire this engine up.

They sent us their best glow plug expert, Theo, and together we're gonna try to troubleshoot it. The heaters are installed, and the fuel is flowing. All we have to do now is turn it on. It was different that time, let's try it again.

And no luck, but we're still not about to give up. We're still not sure what the issue is. It could be something obvious or something completely hidden. I think that we have an air leak on our carburetors and when you have an air leak, you can't tune the carburetor properly.

You can't get the air-fuel ratio to be correct, so it's not going to fire. Maybe we have a pinched o-ring or something like that that we can fix. Hopefully, it's not pinched. Or maybe we still haven't figured out the wiring.

It wants 11 point one volts, and what is the max amperage of this box? Ten. We're choking this one off quite a bit. So we tweaked the engine and started it up. Check the voltage, run the engine, add more fuel, add some starter fluid, run the engine again and again and again and again.

I mean, it's a model, first not an engine, but Nolan people have got it to start. I know it can be done. You're right. What are they doing that we aren't?

Well, guys, I think we've reached an impasse. I can continue working on this little engine and ignore pretty much everything else in my life like normal-sized cars, my loved ones, or other videos. Or I can do the mature thing and give up.

For now, we tried our best on this thing. We hired multiple experts. We even consulted people in other states. But it just didn't happen for now. But I swear that we will make another video. We will get this stupid little engine running.

And we will get this RC car driving. I'm gonna make Theo Spencer and Skyler at Pacific Coast Hobbies, and Matt at Work Perception so proud when we get this thing going. They're gonna be like, "Whoa, nice job Nolan. You didn't even get our cars running."

So make sure you don't miss that video. Subscribe to make sure you don't miss it. Thank you for joining me on this journey and thank you again to Pacific Coast Hobbies for all their help. Uh, you guys freaking rule.

Go buy something from them. Go pick up a wrench and work on something whether it's big or small. It doesn't really matter as long as you do it. You know, have fun with it.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eninside this box is the world's smallest production v8 engine just like a V8 in a regular car just a little smaller we got to put this thing together piece by piece we're going to show you all the parts that make this thing tick then we're going to install it in an RC car just to see how much power match that's fire piece this is a 1600 kit here let's unbox this thing all right here we go let's see what's uh in this little crate here hoyan engine is the manufacturer this is a 28 cc motor it's pretty small obviously the pieces actually look like small car parts the toyin engine is engineered too in theory via functional V8 engine look at this cute little crankshaft look at that that's so cute it's cross-plane whoa air cleaner air cleaner that's sick dude that's so cool oh dude do we have to build this is people like have these little pieces most RC cars use nitro engines these two-stroke engines are smaller and lighter than your traditional four-stroke engine which is good because smallness and lightness is important in an RC car but this engine is set up to run on good old gasoline just like your full-size V8 but this is a model first and a working engine second so we're probably gonna have to do some backyard engineering to get this thing to not only start up but to idle consistently so here's the plan assemble this bad boy and then install it on our big chunky rock crawler chassis driving around let's get to work let's like any other engine build we're starting with the bottom end that means putting the crankshaft and the piston and connecting rods into the block itself this is actually very similar to the ls that we installed on low car bike to normal engine these are also aluminum aluminum actually has really great strength when being stretched this way in a connecting rod application that's what that thing's doing it's going up and down thousands of times a minute so that makes sense that you want something that resists stretching and braking all right big milestone the crankshaft is going into the black yes the crankshaft is in the Pistons are in but uh it all rotates pretty easily it's going to wipe up this extra goop and move on to the next step time out on the field for today's sponsored DraftKings we're officially through the first round of the NFL playoffs and if the excitement of the upcoming

playoffs game and instantly get two hundred dollars in bonus bets that's promo code donut only at draftking Sportsbook surprisingly the twin engine is coming together without any major hitches though the smaller scale is leading to a few quirks in construction the whole assembly is pretty easy it's not every day you can put a whole engine in the vise but little did we know this would be about the only easy part of the build so you gotta assemble all of this huh this is great you know if this costs a quarter of what it does it'd be a pretty cool little thing for your like your kid this is like 1600 kit wow not many people can say they built an engine in a day although actually yeah that's pretty common so I'm using logic based on how real engines work to assume that this is how this one works so here it goes shout out to all the model makers out there you guys have a lot of patience I know you guys put a lot into your craft in this this is definitely making me respect that a lot more look at that it's got the freaking belt on there on the home stretch here building our little toy nv8 and it's not just a model like we get to get this thing to to run somehow but let's finish that first and worry about that later all right there you go man freaking V8 engine that we built in seven hours what do you think this is freaking crazy and so the engine is done wow so what's the horsepower rating apparently five this makes more horsepower than the Cabrio I would believe that this could legitimately power something totally yeah dude good job you assembled a whole V8 by yourself but our glory is short-lived we're missing some vital parts to our engine namely the cooling and ignition system and we still don't know how the ignition system is supposed to be timed to tell the spark plugs when to fire but luckily a package showed up just in time inside are an awesome tiny radiator and overflow tank for the coolant we still have a problem with the ignition system though this also meant we'd have to wire up our own electrical system for sparking the plugs which none of us were very excited about so you got to get little spark plugs yeah it's gonna be paid it's gonna suck everything about getting it running is probably going to suck and there's also another problem oh that's got some heft to it yeah it's like I'll bill it dude this twine engine was way heavier than we anticipated and it would flatten our stock set of tires so we need to to order new ones even with everything we thought we needed we're still in Uncharted Territory we have a lot of little intricate parts and zero instructions I haven't seen a piece of literature in any of these boxes Joby is off in the shop he's fabricating a piece that'll Mount to this chassis with any luck that's going to turn into an engine mount hopefully that'll line up and then start piecing everything together to see if we can get this thing fired up but you know what though I'm confident we can figure it out there's one thing we can do here at donut it's kind of solved problems okay engine mount is mostly complete we just got to put it on the engine made it up to the chassis and then we got to make two holes to mount it to the chassis with we were off to a smooth start I fabricated an engine mount for the chassis and installed it no problem big progress here namely the engine has gone into the chassis which is a huge step and it looks ridiculous it's so big but that's where the real problem started the radiator fit on just fine but would be sort of useless until the engine was running and the tires on the other hand well they were big enough to hold the heavy engine but they were too big which created a new issue uh this thing's not gonna turn at all dude and the ignition well no spark huh interesting try it against the gray side a little more since this little engine runs on gasoline it needs teeny tiny spark plugs and a tiny computer to control the spark but the controller that we got isn't sending the signal to fire the spark plugs if we couldn't get the electrical system figured out this thing would be dead in the water all right this isn't working I agree oh boy no spark means no combustion which means no power all means the engine doesn't run the ignition systems that we have they kind of suck yeah this is not firing we can't start it all right well that's fine we just wasted eight hours yeah we would need to call in the nuclear option well I'm working on one of these little toyan engines I saw you had a video on one of these things our buddy Matt from warped perception had his own video where he powered the toyin engine so we gave him a call to see if he could help us with ours but as it turns out Matt was having the same problems we had like we were able to get any spark at all were you I couldn't get anything I I powered it and I thought it was weird the way that they're I don't know how they're timing that still we weren't about to admit defeat we talked with Matt some more and finally came to a solution how much of a pain in the ass is it to convert this thing to glow plugs is it yeah okay so new plan we're gonna switch this thing to Nitro power so instead of gasoline we'll be using nitromethanol and we're going to pull out our spark plugs and replace them with glow plugs all right day three of working on this thing couldn't get that ignition system to work so we opted to switch to Nitro and glow plugs a lot simpler of a system so we're going to go ahead and figure out how to wire up the glow plugs job is handling that while I handle the rest of the assembly we're getting really close so yeah if I don't finish this car by the end of this night I'm gonna eat my own foot alright so like Nolan just said we are switching to a Nitro meth setup which means we get to use glow plug so there's three big benefits that we're getting in switching to Nitro math one is the glow plugs and they work we already tested them they glow so they will ignite the fuel another big benefit of nitro meth is that it has nine percent oil in it so it lubricates the engine the oil in the fuel will help that engine last longer and run better the other huge benefit is that you can make almost twice the power with Nitro Math versus regular gasoline so things are going to be a lot faster too the only problem is that it didn't come with any wiring so I'm taking care of that right now with our new plan things seem to be going better but we still have a few hiccups with the chassis side of our little build there's actually no Hardware to connect the servo to the shifter but if I can kind of get everything into place we can kind of figure out the connecting situation later and I think I'll just zip dye the battery to the car and I think we'll be good we got the glow plugs working immediately which is a good sign it's a nice little glow yeah with our fuel lines hooked up and our new ignition wired we finally have all the pieces together it's time to see if we can fire it up day four and if we don't get this thing started job's Gonna Leave me that's right man I ain't got time for this we got the ignition system together Joe but soldered a bunch of uh D cell battery cell batteries together I think we're good to give this thing the old shot yeah we'll give it a shot we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope that uh everything that we've done comes together and works the Glow Plug Power let them warm up for a sec sure it's in neutral both plugs are hot here we go flipping the switch nothing's happening nothing let me check voltage on this battery maybe it's low I mean I thought we were going to have a lot of problems but I didn't think that this would be one did you try to run yeah you know this this thing is uh it's very cool but we put it together in a pretty quick hurry and it's not like it's just gonna fire up like you know an engine you pulled out of a truck or something but we are closer than we've been we just lost the set screw yeah on this so it wasn't engaging the starter under the flywheel very well so hopefully it's just an easy fix but I think we're gonna have this uh kind of every step of the way where you know as we get something figured out we find the next thing that's going to give us a little bit of trouble so just keep tinkering and figuring it out along the way okay so another day another problem at this point we can get the engine spinning but the fuel just isn't igniting this could be for a few different reasons when we wired up our battery we wanted to power the glow plugs which we did but we didn't account for powering the starter it's possible that the battery doesn't have enough amperage for the starter and the plugs so while the engine is spinning the glow plugs aren't hot enough to actually ignite the Nitro which results in the fuel spilling out the exhaust which is creating its own problems sure that's fire so that's the other thing about this stuff is it isn't super obvious when it's on fire like right there you can see it or maybe the engine isn't compressing the fuel enough maybe the glow plug shorted out maybe the scaled down physics of a smaller engine make it way different than your average V8 maybe we thought we were going to be done with this shoot two weeks ago maybe that's why it's having trouble pulling it and now we're just adding way too much fuel maybe that's definitely feeding so that wasn't the problem come on yeah well well but we can't get this thing running and we're not going to give up that easily so I guess it's time to call in the nuclear option part two the sequel you might remember Pacific Coast Hobbies from our previous video on RC cars they happen to be experts on
