I have a feeling the cylinders that don't get a straight shot on the new intakes will be down on power compared to the the ones with the straight runners, it's a pretty abrupt turn and you should have made an intake where all 4 have equal length and geometry runners to a single intake chamber fed by both carbs.

4A032 is a great little engine. it's big brother, the 4A084, (84 Cubic Inches vs the 32 Cubic Inch displacement) is another engine you should be developing. We modded some of them and put them on home built aircraft. Great engines.

@robertpeeler8151 8 ай бұрын

Since it is a 4 cylinder you could fuel inject it with something like a fuel tech or Holley injection system or build a intake for a single barrel carb for a car. Both of those would give you way more fuel and hopefully be easier to tune.

Guys I have one of those motors I will donate to the cause. It would be the ideal candidate for the experimental porting and polishing. It hasn't run but the last I knew, and I KNOW, it has a hot magneto on it. It might be a few weeks but I should be able to meet up someplace. This will save carving on the new engines until you have seen what you are getting into. Cheers Terry

@kevinsellsit5584 8 ай бұрын

Thumbs up indeed. I have been looking forward to this thing running on 4 cylinders since episode 1. Ike, on your racing version aka "4A032-Type R" imagine this beast with 4 carbs on long cross-ram intake runners, 4 into one tuned stinger exhaust (so I can hear it running in AZ) AND most important of all ... *MORE THAN 6:1 COMPRESSION RATIO* . The insane potential of this engine needs released! I think the cam sounds fine for three times the power it makes now. Oh, and a REAL clutch that can handle the power. Thanks for making my day on a very rough week for me. What? I didn't say anything about a third dragster ... but that is a good idea!

@richardmedina9117 8 ай бұрын

What you've got to do is tune the carbs to the intakes that you've built. Put a vacume port in each of your intakes, then hook up a inline vacume gauge setup, one that tests the overall indipendant vacume to each of your carbs... I'll bet you that one of them is more open, if you will, than the other .. then all you have to do is adjust your cables to be at the same intake vacume as each other's .... And then tune the carbs to the engine by turning your air fuel ports

Love the paint job! On you next HP military motor build. Look into having someone 3D print you a 4 into one using a center plenum that would mount a two barrel down draft automobile carb. Do all your intake and exhaust porting, then port match the intake. On the exhaust side build an equal length 4 into 1 header. This looks to be a low RPM motor so go with smaller pipe that's a bit longer, it will help with low end torque. The biggest gain will be with building cylinder pressure, so mill the heads and reduce the area over the piston.

Back in the late 80's me my dad and grandfather bought 20 of those engines. 5 were turned into experimental aircraft engines. The test mule was a home built gokart. And 10 were pure spare parts. The last 5 were left stock. It was a blast and ran great. We used a single 38mm carb and made zoomies with a muffler on each. Did some port and polish as well as a minor shave to bump up compression. We also did turbo and superchargers but never dyno time,just seat of the pants vs shifter karts.
