Glad Vlad is back. Hope the younger guy gets to co-host with him moving forward on some episodes, though. He's really skilled as well.

14:07 door flings open, casually shuts it 😆

“The prop shaft might be hitting something” Ah dont worry lets just continue im dying 😂

It's great how you edit these videos so well that it doesn't take weeks to see the end result.

Would love to see the horsepower before and after a turbo swap.

They will never run out of ideas

I love this little series. I remember an old mechanic always telling me he wanted to try it

The factory hospital pee bottle fuel tank means that you don't need a fuel gauge. Innovative.

“Gives you a feeling it’s foreign made” Please tell me this is a common phrase in Russia 😆

I noticed that the glow plugs were still installed. The combustion heat can cause them to glow red, and cause detonation and loss of power.

When Vlad does these things it's cool because it shows the years of experience, this young guy is brilliant in problem solving and is real cool to watch. We need more forward thinking youngsters as him

When vlad came back that made me smile! So glad he’s doing good and able to work on things!

Welcome back Vlad... Even if it's been said a zillion times

Give that young man a raise , he sure knows his stuff , and he's good in front of a camera

"It really gives you the impression like its foreign made " 😂

I like that it's a low rev engine. Taller gears could be a direction to go.

Welcome back Vlad..Diesels have a longer stroke so lots of torque but not designed to rev high due to the piston speed in the cylinder mid stroke.

The voiceovers with the different accents and stuff is hilariously awesome ❤

Thanks, mechanics! Glad Vlad is feeling better! Thanks also to the translator!

A bit of two-stroke oil would do for a bit more lubrication for the top end

It's wholesome as f to see Vlad is back, but it really nice to see the younger gentleman in these newer videos. He is a great addition. Great to see the Deitrol is running great.

I'd say it is the cam profile, it is designed for a low reveing diesel engine. Is there a gasoline powered version of this engine, if so do a cam swap.

Great effort!! Great to see Vlad is back!!

Nice job on this …. Turbo with a blow through hat! And welcome back Vlad, glad you’ve recovered 107% of the way.

It’s good to see Vlad back, questions they asked is how to turbo it - Do a blow through setup with a fuel pressure regulator as per the Corky Bell book Maximum Boost

These guys seem like they're shooting a Russian TV show. I cant get over how fast they turn out new stuff that are so intricately involved.

Put the carburetor on the intake side of the turbo in order to use it as a draw through style. That will simplify your install as well as help cool the intake charge of the boost pressure. Then I would try using e85 or consider blending some diesel in with the gasoline to prevent detonation. As for the lack of power and at the higher RPM is most likely due to the camshaft profile and timing. Good luck!

What a great load of guys!

Turbo blow threw system with su carb will work on the lada,,no need for fuel injection ,,make sure you upgrade ignition to 12v with good coil

I'll tell you what would be really cool to see, how this thing would feel with a turbo. That camshaft is designed to never rev higher than 3500 RPM, so that's why it falls off so quickly.

Loving this young lad is he's always been in the show but it's great to see him running the show

AMAZING stuff! Thanks for getting more of the guys to help in the last few episodes! Hope Vlad is feeling better! HUGE FAN ✨ love how crazy you guys get with the suggestions!

For another project, I would love to see you revisit the idea of mounting an engine and transaxle sideways to run a front and rear differential in an AWD vehicle.

Vlad's back! Glad to see him feeling better and back on camera! I bet he was wanting to jump in there with you guys the entire time he was sick

So glad your back Mr Vlad. Welcome back and welcome home.

When I was sick with the virus, your videos were on my list. Glad you are back.

Welcome back Vlad good to see you back. And yes please use a turbo on it.

What a great suprise seeing vlad! Cyril and Vlad make really good duo :)

it is the diesel camshaft that holds back the high revs. Nice to see you back Vlad.

What a wonderful channel. Clever, imaginative, and humorous. Thanks!

Great great video, Cyril is a great addition to Vlad's presenting

Happy to see Vlad is well! I would suggest looking at a different camshaft. The diesel camshaft would be optimally designed to perform at a lower rev range consistent with that of a Diesel engine which is probably why the performance tails off over 3000rpm. Good results could be achieved from that engine as is on a carburettor, but set up correctly, without the need for a turbo or fuel injection.

The reason it still sounds like a diesel is because they are using the diesel exhaust manifold, the low RPM power is from the modestly sized cam used in diesel engines. Because the combustion chamber is the same shape the vibration frequencies are likely very close to the same as before the engine converted; also contributing to the diesel sound.

Glad to see your back and well Vlad

Ah, this project is a man's dream. Hamfist the impossible and stubbornly create the insane!

I’d like to see it stay NA, but address the cams and valves to get it to make more power up top and possibly rev higher

Volga gearbox meets vulgar welding. I love your style fellas

Glad you're back Vlad. Good to see you made it through. Your guy there is awesome. Still can't believe it fired right up.

Garage 54: We present our high compression gasoline engine , built with some junkyard parts laying around. Mazda Skyactiv Engine Engineers: How it's that possible? We spent millions in research.

Next: Diesel engine converted to run on vodka

welcome back Vlad, happy to see your healthy again, hope you go full out on this build, exciting to watch

Vlad walks in half way thru the video - great!

well if you put a turbo, make sure you retard the timing enough since it is already knocking, the extra pressure will definitely knock even more. also using the same turbo might help with the "volumetric" when it comes to how much air in/out it needs and in the same REV range. (unless Diesel expels more exhaust gas out...)

glad to see the big man back. I hope this is just the first collaboration between these two

That’s superb! Nice work. Look forward to seeing what you do next.

Love this channel. They do all kinds of awesome stuff. Much love from the U.S.A.

Would of been nice to see this motor on the dyno as a turbo diesel, then now as a carby and then turbo carby and see what the power differences are

I love this channel. Think you guys can turbo it for science reasons? 🤣🤣I wrote the turbo idea in the beginning of this video. I think I might be Russian because I share your thoughts. You guys are brilliant

I love the fact that you guys have so many Lada's!!

I really like these guys. They remind me of the days when I did things like this. Shoe horning a Chevy 283 into a Willies Jeep that I used for plowing snow, swapping a small Chevy straight 6 for a gas hog V 6 in a GMC van. Switching an old Plymouth flat head 6 for a dodge V-8 in a truck crane I had. Changing the cab on a Chevy truck and shortening an old Pepsi delivery truck by 4 feet and 3 inches and converting it into a wrecker. Lots of fun. Now it's all transistors and diodes and all I do is check the oil and run it through the car wash.

No joke, but you can run it on speeduino, cheap standalone ecu and one day setup!

If it's not in this episode I wanna see it on a rolling road

Glad to see you back in the guys did a great job while you were out we wouldn't mind seeing more of the work you know if it's been tossed around

those diesel lifters are going to make the engine sound like a diesel even though it now uses gasoline. my 225 (3.7 L) slant six engines use solid valve lifters like the engine used to have when it was a diesel engine. Mopar never used hydraulic lifters on that engine that i am aware of. the changed the block casting to slant it 30 degrees so a lower hood profile could be used on their cars/trucks, changed the cylinder sleeves, the cylinder head and ignition timing, spark plugs sit here the diesel injectors would have been. so, if what you are hearing is a "rattling" like a diesel, that is why. my engines do it all the time, and are running on all 6 cylinders, and running good, pleanty of power/torque. glad to see you are back and better Vlad. also, maybe keep that young guy in more videos. (the look on his face when the engine fired up was priceless).

How about a small diesel engine (8-10 hp?) to spin a supercharger in a draw through carb setup?

Next convert 4 stroke to 2 stroke on a full size engine.

Enjoying this project. Glad to see Vlad!

Welcome back, Vlad! You were missed.

yo guys need to get turbo on fuel injection on that thing and see when it blows that what we need :)

it should be pretty strong compression wise, diesels way higher than a gas engine. you may have to lower the compression down to about 12:00 to 1, from 20 to 1. also, the Pistons and connecting rods and crank are way heavier, way stronger, but way heavier as well. so it'll be interesting to see how much power it actually would make. this is not uncommon. look up 350 Oldsmobile diesel. many drag racers in the 70s and '80s used to use these blocks from the diesel, as a race gas engine, due to its much stronger webbing. I haven't watched the video yet, let's see how it goes.,...

Glad you are back Vlad !! and Greetings from here in Mount Juliet (near Nashville) Tennessee USA

Vlad is back, so glad you are feeling much better!!

Build an engine with a different firing order so it will have simultaneous power strokes The outer 2 cylinders fire together and the inner 2 fire together and see what happens You will have to change the cam aswell or not im not to sure

Ah finally, a new Supra that has an actual Toyota motor in it.

Forgot to add, G54 is the most innovative auto channel on youtube.

Brilliant work garage 54!!

The power is low and its dropping off at high rpm because you're using a small carb and intake on a large engine. Its going to have a very similar power curve to the Lada but at lower rpm. Try two of those carbs. :)

Uhmm, now i think that you guys should try to make a motor that you can go and Change from diesel to gasoline and vise-versa, like when on gasoline have one of the valves bein Open for a little bit for lesse compression and have both spark plug an injector

Happy to see you back Vlad!

I love the exhaust sticking out of the side, proper muscle car !

Shorten the conrods. This will do two things. It will give a lower compression ratio eliminating the detonation and will change the power to come on at higher revs. A shorter stroke will make the engine want to rev higher. And will be happier doing so. You would most likely need to consider a lighter flywheel and cam profile also. All these things could be done in separate videos to show the changes. Putting a turbo on before these changes, especially before lowering the compression ratio will not end well for the engine. Keep it up

I so want to learn Russian

Love your experiments thoroughly entertaining keep it up fellas good stuff

The longer stroke effect from the diesel engine will give you the torque but they don't like to rev as hard. When we changed bus diesel engines to compressed natural gas we too put the plugs in the injector holes but the key thing was to reduce the compression ratio c/r from diesel level to gas/petrol level to stop pre-ignition. We refitted the head using two head gaskets and that dropped the c/r down to the required level and that worked fine. Only other change was the timing, natural gas burns slightly slower so you have to advance it a bit. Otherwise, guys, loved the video, well done and looking forward to part 2!

Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio, which needs harder valves. This is what makes diesels sound so noisy.

Who else loves all the needless narrative? I swear these Russians just love to hear themselves speak. They could relay their ideas with about 3X fewer words.

Welcome back Vlad glad to your doing better

Happy to see Vlad recovered :)

Happy to see you on the mend .

I've always wanted to try that. I might do it next week

Sweet. Welcome back Vlad!

Happy to see you're doing well again. You give me hope to see 107% success rates..... thanks from America

Glad you're doing better

So happy to hear and see you pulled through this shit Vlad! Try and feel better, from everything I hear this virus takes a toll on your body in the long run for some people, others not so much, depends on the person I guess? But anyways just wanted to say feel better soon and we're all glad to see your back on your feet, take it easy and don't overdo things.

Good to see you back and healthy vlad!

I like how the younger guy is still taking over even with Vlad back, Nice.

Glad your better vlad. Cylinder head may not flow enough for high runs along with cam lif/duration designed for low rpm diesel

Crazy homebrewed stuff guys! BTW, that Volga trans looks suspiciously like a T5!

Love watching you guys these projects are so cool I was just thinking again today how it would be cool to convert a diesel to gas, then I saw your video pop up. Cheers from Canada.

Turbo it boys! It’ll be fun! Good to see you back and well Vlad!
