Now turbocharge that 2 cylinder. Plenty of space in the engine bay now haha.

How about adding 2 cylinders and building a straight 6?

Finally, a channel that simply asks "what will happen" rather than "why should we do this?" Absolutely blessed channel, great work, fellas.

I need to replace a fuel injector on my Jeep and can’t because i don’t know how. here is this guys cutting and engine in half for a hobby.

This is the kind of task no one other than Garage54 would tackle. Nice job guys!

Now that you've cut one in half, you need to try welding two together for an 8 cylinder. :D

I'm gonna leave a like just for the young boy running behind with the camera. Such effort must be rewarded.

This has honestly been my favorite KZfaq channel for months now. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work

I think the reason these Lada engines run so well after what they've had done to them is because they don't have a computer on them telling them they can't.

I could imagine living or working near these guys.... Everytime those garage doors open, you'll never know what sort of Frankenstein Lada is gonna roll out! Love it :)

So fun! You’ll need half a Lada to match the “new” half motor

I am impressed with how far you have come and your shop fab skills!

"We keep getting a lot of nutty requests in from the viewers." "I have a Lada fun reading through them." I'm so easily entertained 🤣🤣

Next time, please, try welding 2 Lada engines in a "V" shape and make a Lada V8 engine with 4 carbies :)

My hats off to this guy for all his ingenuity. I would ground out the unused open distributor lines as the way it is it could possibly crossfire.

even after all that cutting and welding this engine is still more reliable than any Harley engine

The fact that you cut this in half, started it, and actually made a car move under its power, is impressive all in itself. Good job guys that was wicked!!

I adore you guys so much. Any other KZfaq channel, this would be a 40-part series that never gets finished. Garage 54? Break out the grinders and welder, let's see if we can get this into the car before lunch.

I like your ingenuity, and y’all impress me with every video.

I'm about a quarter of the way through as I just started watching this video.. I'm excited. Super, super excited.

"You're a Lada, a Lada never failed us" Since you cutted it half. Would it be only be a LA missing the Da

You need to have a person drive this car to a repair shop and ask the mechanic to look at the engine because it seems to be low on power. It would be interesting to see what a mechanic would think about this engine.

Thank you, thank you for this, can't believe you made it work. You guys are Great!

Thanks a ton Garage 54...with all that being watched now i am also planning to convert my inline flat plane crank to cross plane.....

Thank you for the translation! Only Russians would do something as wacky as this, and I love them for it.

You should do a collaboration with the channel "I Do Cars." He does engine teardowns and discusses why they fail. Send one of your amazing modifications to him after it dies, and have him do a blind teardown video of it. The commentary would be priceless!

Unbelievable! You and your guys are awesome. I can't believe y'all made that work. And it worked great. Not much HP but what you expect. Amazing! 👍👍 I predict you'll be at 1 million subs soon and then you'll grow like wildfire. Good for you. You're good people and you deserve it.

If your crankshaft was cut so your pistons are 180 degrees apart then I think you might want to use the two opposite connections on the distributor instead of the ones right next to each other. It looks like one piston is in time and the second one is off. That thing should run smooth like a lawnmower engine. Awesome job cutting it down and welding it all up. Love your videos!

*cuts engine in half* “it seems like there’s something off” 🤣

All of my childhood questions become reality on this channel😆😁

Fascinating. Stayed interested the whole video. Good job comrades.!!!

A T34 no, but a testament to you guys determined spirit to get the job at hand done regardless of the odds or situation! Love it and thank you for the info on this. As good as it gets!

This was once again brilliant! It looked like the power output was only somewhere around 10-15 hp.

Now headgaskets last twice as long. When it blows you just turn it 180.

Just found your channel and I love it! Can’t believe you did this and it actually ran 😂. Like what I see here!

Wow 😳 you did it! It runs. That's incredible! Well done! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏆🍾. I love your channel 🤩🤘 thank you for amazing videos!

When I was a kid I was taught, "With a grinder and welder, all things are possible." This is proof, well done!

I love seeing weird engine mods, would be hilarious to see them make a V4 or V6 xP

Hey guys love the channel as always As someone who works on cars I know you put a lot of work into that and it somehow runs !? Amazing

This will remain as innovative idea for another decade... 🙏 Thanks for the video.

You should do a lada INLINE SIX now. It would be a great experiment since lada engines shake a lot, and inline6s are really smooth, so we could see how much of a difference a different layout of the same parts makes.

I'm living in Austria and a week ago I saw a new Lada model driving down the road ... I hat a PTBS like flashback on all those Garage54 vidoes b/c of that and even missed my green light LOL

Nice job, really impressed by your weldings

Empressive build! Nice clean workmanship. I've cut a VW engine in half in the past. It's involved though I did not have water jackets to worry about. Cutting engines in half is nothing new it's done quite often with a Volkswagen Type 1 engine block. These are used in ultralight airplanes. In the 80s I had a J-3 Junior with a half VW engine. Although it was built from a 2300 giving it 78hp nearly 20 more hp than the original half VW. That lighter weight allowed me to stay Within fars part 103 category. Those engines run much smoother since they are opposed cylinders. Likely much of the vibrations felt within your lada engine is an imbalance. Then if it's vacuum advanced timing, that's going to mess things up. Leading to pre detonation which tends to heat things up. Would love to see a custom manifold that support two AMR500 superchargers on a Lada. It's what I have on my bush plane. ( Feeding 4 throttle bodies.) it's good for almost 120 fp extra torque and around 135 hp for short takeoffs or high density altitude. And the wine from the superchargers is an eye 😲opener! Lol I only give approximate horsepower and torque figures since those values vary depending upon temperature an altitude.

1 cylinder version with extra heavy flywheel would be nice to see allso.

There’s a reason an in-line 2 cylinder usually has both pistons traveling parallel. The vacuum produced by the engines firing gaps is erratic messing with the carburetor. The issue is you have cylinders firing at 540 and 180 degrees the 540 degrees again before another ignition. If both cylinders where parallel you could fire every 360 degrees providing better control of the standard carburetor. I’m sure you could get it to work but not with the carburetor the way it is not receiving enough back yet to get the venturis to function correctly.

I had my doubts, but holy cow you guys didn't disappoint!

Incredible, Masters of Mechanics, crazy crazy genial Russians, incredible job, what a skill and dexterity in working and adjusting ! You have motors in your veins and in your head. There'no limit for your capability! I'm going to subscribe NOW! Thank you!

Goverment: we need to downsize more engines! Garage 54: Hold my beer.

This just points up that while G54 looks like a real rough-n-ready kind of operation, they can do some pretty sophisticated stuff. Most people cut an engine in half, that engine is DONE.

that place looks amazing ...its huge !! i love projects like this 😀

Nice. Just what the world needs, a short block Lada!😂😂😂😂

It sounds like an old John Deere when you lug it down. I LOVE THIS EPISODE!

Weld two engines together and make an inline 8 cylinder.

This is the type of cameraman we need in every video, sprinting down the street with almost little to no camera movement!!! Good job bro💪🏾💪🏾💯

We know you will choose the nutty ideas! We love you for it 🙏

try making a cross plane crank for it, make it sound like a mini v8.

I used to imagine stuff like this, and to finally see it being done is incredible !

i love these guys. don’t back down from a crazy idea 👍👍

When Vlad mentioned all the problems with sealing, I thought why not take cylinders 2 and 3 out?

Always entertaining!! And every now and then this channel does things that nobody has even thought about trying, let alone pulls it off. It's definitely one of a kind, and that's why these guys rule!

Would it be easier to cut out cylinders 2 & 3, then join 1&4 together with the ancillaries on each side preserved?

Love the sound of it, like an old tractor.

Best video yet! Howdy from Texas 🤠

Did anyone think to tune the carburetor and re-jet it? It's set for twice the displacement otherwise, running filthy rich... EDIT: If it's a points ignition you might also be saturating the condenser because there's no spark energy leaving where 3 and 4 are missing. The heat's probably from a lack of crossover passages in the back of the head and block, it's getting a hot spot and making a bubble that blocks flow.

Great job! This gave me an idea. How about converting an engine into a self-contained water pump by running the engine on 3 cylinders and using the 4th cylinder as the pump with a separate inlet and exhaust for water in and water out via hoses. The camshaft would need to be modified so there is no compression stroke on cylinder 4, only the inlet and exhaust valves opening alternately. It would be a great unit for draining ponds or flooded basements, or fighting fires with an onboard water tank.

That's awesome, well done guys.

Great as always!

Loves these videos! Here´s a thaught: if you make a custom crank so that ignitions are 1, 2, 1, 2, etc, instead of 1,2, nothing, nothing, it would run sort of like a harley. Better, but not much better, i know..

Can you make a V8 out of 2 inline 4s? My uncle made a joke about my GAZ52 saying that you can add 2 inline 6s together to make V12 so it gave me a idea.

This is wicked. Nice job.

It would be really fun to see the 4 cylinder engine like that in a trike or motorcycle even 4 wheeler, that would make a really fun video, you guys are great! Thanks a ton for the videos! I’ve learned a ton about the mechanics and engineering behind these machines!

That’s the most crazy and impressive experiment they have done! And it works! Amazing!👌😎👍I’m impressed!

This was awesome! You should try to cut another and then arrange them laterally and make a hack job boxer motor, that seems it would fit your style perfectly! Looking forward to more crazy video!

It takes talent to make such a crazy suggestion work. Good job, guys.

Lol Vlad is so nice to that old LADA, "oh comon babe" "you cant be that hot can you"

its pretty close to a russian Trabant now, 2 cylinders, except its now a 4 stroke instead of 2.. Actually impressed that the engine started. Again, Lada engines are impressing me with how stubborn to kill they are.

I just love this show, always interesting and unseen stuff, and they give anything a go.

You guys always amaze me. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

daum, this Chanel man, i love you content, i loved myth busters as a kid, i love top gear, and im currently having an obsession over mechanics, even though i crashed my first car after having for a week -__- but this Chanel is great, I'm watching the whole thing with a grin on my face! keep it up! heh/ i love your humor too, 13:40 reminds me of a woodworking teacher i once had!

That was one of the most incredible job you did, guys! Amazing

The video I had been waiting for. You guys redeemed yourself. Kudos. This engine would be nice in a motorcycle, it has a throaty sound. Next time don't cut the engine, remove pistons 1and 3 along with the conrods. Close the intake to no 1 and 3 cylinders, start and see the difference.

That's some pretty amazing work. The original GMC V6 (60s) was created by simply chopping off two cylinders. I wonder how the car would work if you used those two cylinders to power a generator which in turned powered electric motors?

Everything ya'll did there was beautiful.

I gave thumbs up for the title alone already 😂. And it's amazing that you've got actually it work 😁

You guys are the best mechanics for sure 💯

Impressive fabrication skills!

Im a retired panel beater i cut cars in half and make them drive again but cuting an engine..that was so much fun to watch..thanks for the english translation..love your show😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

I really want to see an engine run on 1; pure petroleum, 2; gear oil (manual trans oil) , and 3; auto trans fluid

I think my favourite part of these videos is the informercial sales pitch! "You want some drip like this?" Lol

The video was the most awesome of the channel!

I had an old Fiesta Mk3 with a manual choke and two cracked cylinders and it sounded just like this thing on start up on a cold morning lol.

Try to make a V4 engine by cutting a V8 in half that would be EPIC!

Really nice job. Can you make one big engine out of three? The opposite of your 2 cylinder. A 12-cylinder in-line engine. I think to get the best performance out of it, the crankshaft and camshaft need to be welded 120 degrees apart.

Now do a straight 7, that would be an awesome show. Make it a series over 3-4 episodes. Just to hear how that would sound would be magical.

one of the finest engineering minds that the frozen tundra has produced

Thank you so much for hear my sugestion on cut in a half a motor and just use two cilinders. I loved the video! greetings from Argentina.

Have you guys thought about taking a break from the tests and try a multi video car build. Would be cool to do a Russian Rat rod or something. Maybe Tub a Lada and drop it and throw a nice engine in it.

You all do some strange but awesome stuff lol it's always interesting watching ya all...but one problem ya all ain't on every day lol ..ya all are great godbless and stay safe.

Awesome job
