Put a turbo on a stock lada engine see how much it can handle

Things I learned this episode: 1. You can change oil while a car is running 2. Vlad has a very tall bucket

Try air-cooling a regular watercooled engine, by pumping lots of air through the water cooling system, and check how long it can run like that

I would like to see a spark plug change with engine running 😜🤣

I added oil to a running engine once. I really miss that car but it did make a cool fireball after the oil sprayed on the exhaust manifold.

I change my oil while running all the time. By change I mean drink, by oil I mean Vodka and by running I mean sitting.

It would have been cool to see compression test results before and after the oil change, just to see what the damage is from running the engine without oil for a few minutes.

I've done this on a generator, except we didn't let it run dry, trying to leave some in the sump for the pickup. We cracked the drain and tried to feed just a little more than we drained, replacing about 1.5x the volume. It worked, but had someone with hands on all the valves and watching the pressure. Too much oil bogged it a bit and threw smoke, so be careful! One guy forgot oil is hot and got scalded, but otherwise went okay. But the filter is pressurized, so that had to stay, keeping the oil a bit dark. It was powering a concert, and the owner had mentioned the last maint was like 5 years ago when it started running rough. *facepalm* Lesson learned, always have a backup. P.S. On a properly running engine, you should be able to add oil with no issues, trick is if you're adding oil while it's running it's probably a POS (aka blowby).

I've got an idea... I'd like to see how well velcro tyres would grip a velcro floor...

Garage54. Answering questions we never knew we wanted to know. Love this stuff

Absolutely! No problem , just make sure to have on a protective oil proof suit!

I love my Lada great little machine. Not many left in Canada anymore but fantastic machine for here. Even the parts are cheap until they are shipped here 4months later.

Some aviation pioneers kept an aeroplane flying for over 3 weeks and actually changed the sparkplugs whilst it was running in the air! Maybe you can try this some time when you get flying lada.👍😎❤️

Try doing a compression test on that engine to check if any damage occurred at the cylinders

The planes that set endurance records for continuous flight were modified to allow changing the oil and filter during flight while the engine was running.

Ive always wanted to try this…

You guys never cease to amaze me. The ideas you come up with for videos crack me up.

I've done this working on heavy equipment. It's a little easier with those considering it doesn't have a traditional drain plus, but a drain petcock. Plus when you have a pneumatic oil gun hooked up to a drum and you can adjust the amount of oil being pumped, it's probably the easiest way to do it while it's running.

If your vehicle burns/leaks enough oil, you have the bonus of never having to do an oil change because you keep putting new oil in. I call this: The perpetual oil change.

Here's a challenge for you, Try taking an ordinary Lada, and turn the mechanicals 90 degrees in relation to the body shell, then drive it sideways! - If that isn't practical, try welding two Ladas side by side, and turning the mechanicals by 90 degrees. Let's see a Lada driving sideways!

We actually used to do this at a jiffy lube I used to work at. The one guy who worked there really wanted his 93 Sundance oil clean. So we would start then car, start draining it, and pour oil in at the same time. So as it’s draining out, new oil is going in. We just waited until it was clean and put the plug back in and stopped putting oil in. It actually worked pretty well.

I wish I could get a lada inported to canada. I love how simple they are, the perfect car for me.

Wonder how main/rod bearings look like after such an oil change :-)

I was relieved when the engine was producing one pressure in the oils.

Excellent, how about changing the front coil springs while driving lol 😆

"you'll notice that it isnt running perfectly"........one day ill notice when one does run perfectly!!..love your work you guys

10 W 60 holy crap!

Always happy to see new videos!!!

YES, you can, and you can change it out into the hills behind your house. No carrying dirty oil to recycle.

That was great fellas. Thanks for using my crazy idea. Now I'll have to get some merchandise from you.

I didn't know that... The oil filter on the Lada is located in a smart place, unlike many other cars. 🤔

The flight endurance record in Las Vegas they did oil changes mid flight over the 64 day event. It took place in 1958.

As always awesome video brother 👊🏽😆

this Channel is always fascinating.

Great job guys!

👌😂👍I’m convinced! That no matter what you try! You can’t kill a Lada engine!

Successfully messy, but completed!! Nice job!!

I reckon, if you installed a valve inlet of some description so you can force the new oil in under pressure it would be a lot easier to pull this off. Taking in to consideration once the sump plug has been put back in and the system is sealed you would need to have higher pressure outside that inside the oil system for it to work.

I laughed when he said, "You'll notice that it isn't running perfectly, but no worries, that's totally normal."

You should replace the head gasket while it is running, now that would be a challenge!

Great video ! 👍

Use 3 people..like a pit stop. One drains oil..while one removes the oil filter and the other person is ready to fill..that way it wouldn't run the risk of seizing. Also try change plugs with the motor running...one at a time. Loosen..change and reconnect the bougi...then move on. Love Garage 54 you guys are amazing. Would love to meet Vlad

Hey I just wanted to say hi I'm Dave out of America what you do will change what the engines running that's awesome no one's ever done that before that is pretty awesome and you are awesome we love your videos

great job vlad 👌

Garage 54 they do make quick disconnects that you replace your oil pan bolt with so you hook this little hose to it and it drains your oil and you unhook the little hose kind of like a quick disconnect on a air tank...

I love the crazy stuff u guys come up with no one else ever comes up with anything similar. U r unique over there u wild and crazy guys.lol

With a two man team this would actually be pretty quick. As in one guy below the car draining oil, the other filling it up from above.

You guys have successfully washed a car in motion. How about doing an oil change with the car in motion? Others have brilliantly suggested a tire change on a moving car. (a superb idea!) Either or both of these challenges are worthy of a Garage 54 solution and documentary video. Please make it so. May the force be with you. Live long and prosper. Aloha.

This has to be the craziest channel on KZfaq. Just the recipe for troubled people as myself.

Good task already been mentioned in video - try to push-start the automatic!

Serge is a great mechanic.

yo this is amazing. and if the engine doesn't die under their conditions, surely this could be done when the process is further optimized. cool!!

Of course you can, But should you is the real question lol.. The synthic oils are deff better for this than a normal oil.. Also a high mileage oil.. Would like to see this with a few different oils.

Use an external oil filter with a quick release coupling on both hoses. Pop both while running, put "suck" into a bottle of "new" oil, "blow" into a drain, and swap the filter with no pressure!

12:27 mixes a hearty mechanic's stew.

Greatest content on youtube

Replace the drainplug with a fumoto, petcock or other no-tool/no-mess drain valve. That way you can close the drain valve easily after the oil drains clean.

Next time try to change the head gasket on a running engine ! ;-P

This is something i wondered my whole life😂

I was expecting something like a dialysis machine. But nope, they went full send! _SAVAGES!_ 🤣

Ladas are the Nokia phones of cars. In 200,000 years the only cars that will still run will be Ladas.

I used to tow for a living. Recovery, not repo. We were preparing a ford explorer for scrap one time and decided to see how long it would last with no cats, no oil and no coolant. Ran it wide open and it made it 16 mins before locking up! That engine died in the name of science!

I change transmission fluid buy overfilling it first with 4 qts then pulling a cooler line off running it to a bucket have an assistant start it and as it pumps fluid into bucket i start to add fluid after about 4 qts comes out i run system capacity through it 12 to 16 qts usually and shut it down hook up line if i let it run 20 sec after i stop pouring and save back the last qt i can sneek up on level after warming it up if you overfill pull cooler line back off and pump out excess

can you guys make an electric lada from addin like 2 or 3 starter motors on engine and put couple more batterys on it like a backup when engine blows up you could move on with starter motors

Actually you can take this experiment one step forward and you can measure cylinder compression values before and after the change to see the effect of this process.

i did that on a white tractor 1947 (semi truck dont confuse with farm tractor) we had to flush oil, took about 16-24 gallons total to flush melted and chipped/broken babbitt out while it was running, then we took cam out, put it in a ceramic oven to melt all babbitt. then, we heat treated the cam again. cast new babbitt on them. sen tto local machine shop to machine into size. put it back together. the engine is good for another 150k hours.

Russian Jiffy Lube.

I have seen oil change systems on semi trucks that allow you to change the oil with the motor running.

challenge: push start an automatic lada. for example for me i have an 07 honda civic . It has to be rolling in 1 st at about 15-18 mph before i can switch the power on and it goes . (note , battery must have some charge to energize altenator) so this is more a broken starter type of scenario.

You can top up oil on a running engine, if the rocker cover has an oil baffle inside it you wont get any splash. If it doesn't.... mine didn't and I didn't get any spray🤷‍♀️

Trust Sergei, he knows what he's doing 👍

Fun stuff! I wish you would make a reversed backup camera, as in a big flatscreen on the rear of the car showing the drivers face. Vlad, that is.

That is really interesting to see I thought for sure that engine would start knocking lol but guess not all is well

I suggested this a few months ago! YES!!!

Garage 54, You should try welding the crankshaft in a crossplane configuration like a Yamaha R1 engine.

It would have been nice to see what the crank and bearings looked like before and after this. What all damage was done..?

They do this on the plow trucks up in Alaska but you dont have to pull the plug they have a pep cock with some quick fittings and they add oil as its draining then shut it off when it runs clean . then they shut it off and change the filter

Before this videos I am wondering if is absolutely necessary tot fill oil filter with oil , when I change the oil. From this point everything's clear 😌 👌

Oil a water may mix in case of broken head gasket, so may me use the same fluid for both usages :-), you just have to ajuste some drilling diameters, but should work

Nissan's official service manual says the correct procedure for changing transmission fluid is to do it with the engine running. Not exactly the same thing but getting close.

So this is how Jiffy lube changes your oil so fast. Good for another 3000-7000 miles.

Awesome video

Get a BIG pan and then dump lots of oil on top. And eventually it'll come clear. It's probably the best way to do it since it'll flush too and get the most oil out and new in. Chevy uses a big tank of oil to slow break-in their Corvette engines. It's mounted over the tank with pickup in the oil and then they slow rotate it like 150rpmish to make sure the motor pumps oil through and they let that go for about a day. I imagine it's like a "spa day" for an engine lol.

Burning your arms on the manifold, burning your fingers with hot oil and oil filter, is part of the oil change experience.

old lada's never die. they just become more powerful than you can imagine.

Bardahl, #1 in Russia. From Washington State, started by a Norwegian.

I wanna see the worlds first external combustion engine.💥

USA: wearing gloves and safety glasses Russia: removing the oilpan screw with bare hands while the engine is running - staring with unprotected eyes from 20cm distance on the boiling oil pouring - lying down on the floor while car is on the lift :) luv u guys LOL

how about using the drive shaft & or the axle gear housing to convert a car into a chronograph watch with the Time & month & day & the moon phase

I enjoyed that !

Could the engine run if you would reverse its intake and exhaust? I mean if you'd put the exhaust side on the intake and the other way around

As oil is draining out, slowly pour oil in, same time. Flush out old oil with new oil.

It would be interesting to see if either a Lada or a Honda could drive and for how long on only 1 qt of oil.

You guys should try to do a valve adjustment while the engines running

I agree if you say LADAs are awesome cars. I drive a NIVA/ 4x4 for 8 years now and except the beginning rust it's running like new. LADA never completely fine but also never completely done.

Fun trick you could have done to prevent oil from coming out of the drain plug until you want the oil to drain is to use a powerful Shop-Vac and you secure it to the oil fill on the top of the motor turn the Shop-Vac on take the drain plug out and the shop back will create enough suction to pull air through the drain plug that's preventing oil from pouring out shut the Shop-Vac off the oil drains

I wound not recommend trying this with a high compression engine or a new engine with high friction. But very interesting.

There is one automatic transmission that I know of that you can push start it is a Powerglide with the pump in the back

You’ve probably never heard of the YT channel, Neutral Drop, but if I did 1/32nd of what either of you channels do, my trucks would blow up immediately but you guys are able to pull this type of stuff off without issues!?!?!?

How much oil does a Lada engine need for stopping it, if you just pour it in towards the cap?
