I built a similar unequal length exhaust for my suzuki sv650 so that the exhaust would exit under the seat. I did back to back runs on the same dyno With the unequal exhaust and my oem exhaust That was cut and fitted with An aftermarket muffler. The result was a nine horsepower loss using the unequal length exhaust . The exhaust looks neat, but definitely produced horrible results
@@AverageJoesracingteamYeah, actual Subaru tuners are well aware how inefficient UELHs are, which is why equal length options are out there, but plenty of people prefer the burble and can live with leaving some power on the table.
Jimbo, please think of using a snowmobile torque converter instead of the stock one. You're not running much power through it, but the vehicle weights noticably more than what it was technically designed for so it might slip without you even noticing. The guys from carsandcameras were using a stock torque converter in their small dragster build with an uprated V-twin like yours & they were losing noticable amounts of power & acceleration despite their build weighing nowhere near as much as the Renault
We are using a Comet 44 series clutch system and its rated for 18HP. we are aware of its limitations and do plan on upgrading it to a Comet 700 series at some point.
It seems like this project is making far quicker progress than any of the others. I love your statement of "finding some new problems". That's excatly how all projects work!
She’s a bit spicy now, or at least it sounds the part. I’d be interested in seeing a tach on the engine and on the trans input shaft, with maybe some wizardry that displays realtime RPM differential. To get an idea on where the CVT is in its operation. Also, possibly already suggested or mentioned, but that carb tuner thing that Thunderhead may be a good candidate for testing on this setup (or vise-versa?). Top notch video! I hope you’re enjoying making them as much as we love to watch them. Cheers!
I think a good stage two kit would be very deserving of being put into that engine. A stage 3 would be even better and those 670cc engines have a massive after market community.
HEY JIMBO! I have watched your channel for a long time but do not typically comment on videos. Anyway, me and a friend of mine did a full street legal build on a small UTV/SXS that is 300cc. The engine is based off of a Yamaha motorcycle engine with a CVT. It was loud and would not pass auto inspection. So what we did is replace the muffler with a newer but quieter version. Then we had an exhaust shop weld an exhaust flange to the end of the motorcycle muffler, then had the exhaust shop make some custom pipe from the new flange to a car muffler and also did some mods to hang the car muffler. We went with a Walker quiet flow. I think we paid like $35 for it. Anyway, this setup is basically using a stock motorcycle muffler as a resonator then a car muffler for the rest. It is very quiet now and you can't even hear it idle 100 feet away. It is not as loud on the street either and we can now play the radio. Just a thought for your setup for the muffler. May not be what you are looking to do but I am sure gave you some ideas. Love the videos. Thanks!
Thanks! We have already picked a glass pack muffler that provides a mellow sound without restricting the exhaust. It may not be as quiet as a Cadillac, but it should be good enough for rural Kansas. This will of course be in the next video.
Cereals packets make great gaskets. Years (and years) ago me and my mates would make our own gaskets from Cornflakes boxes, because they were free and often better than factory items. You can make hole punches from odd bits of tubing and taper the ends with a file or stone. You can also buy that fibre gasket by the sheet. It's pretty cheap and it will come in handy one day, trust me.
I have a Kawasaki Brute Force 750, the guy I bought it from changed the factory exhaust to a KMF straight pipe type muffler, and it bike is incredibly loud, so much so, I didn't think I'd be able to use to go hunting. So, I took a stroll to the junkyard, and found a factory Stainless muffler on a 1990 Mitsubishi pickup, with a little welding of a flange, and a hanger. The muffler inserts into the KMF muffler, and shaves a large amount of noise off the bike that makes it very suitable for being in the woods, and after taking some full throttle rips, doesn't hurt the top end too much(At least the highest I'm willing to feel the top end, doing 60mph on some 29.5" High Lifters is the limits of my bravery.). The muffler is also plug and play, I can pull if off and be loud for some mudrides, and throw the extra muffler on, and you hear the engine noise just as loud as the puffs from the back. I say all that, as a suggestion, to find a large style 4-cyl exhaust, to not hurt the power of the engine, and still get a factory/OEM sound. Bonus points for old school flapper cutout.
You've done forced induction, so might be fun to see how compression and head work effect things. I've welded up both 212 and 420 heads (up to 12:1 or so range), and it made a big increase in power, and I believe fuel consumption. Cost me some time and welding supplies. I'd grab a spare set of heads to mess with as you do other things, though, in case you get a whoopsie like I did once. Don't drink and weld, kids.
Coffe and Cantina to start the day, why thank you, I believe I will! Sundays have got to be my favorite day for the plethora of people i follow, sundays are some of the best.
396 BBC and a 4 speed M21 ? I have found my Tribe ! 🤣 But seriously, thanks for all the mechanical shenanigans and entertainment. It makes every weekend feel like Saturday morning cartoons.👌😀👍
Man I got really sad last week when I didn’t see an upload. But this episode really made up for it!! Keep killing it sir, you’re about to be CZcams famous!
Listening to the engine as you accelerated got me to thinking. A cheap way to shave a bit more time off of the old 0 to 55 would be to get a tuning kit for the torque converter.
get some gasket sheets and make one, it's usually done in 15 minutes once you get the hang of it, squeeze the gasket-paper against the surface you wanna match and the contours will show you where to cut... i haven't bought gaskets in years, i only make them from sheets.
In a pinch a cereal box will frequently work as gasket material, especially if gasket thickness isn't going to have an effect on other tolerances. That cover looked like one side of a cereal box would have been the perfect size to cut a gasket from.
For any incidental sharp things that get into ya from wrapping headers or any sort of fibers like fiberglass, a pair of brand new pantyhose works best, polyester will do similar but not as well, use pantyhose as a washcloth in a nice hot shower. Low pressure against the skin with lots of soap lather, and it pulls a majority out first go. It's a mad good way to take care of it when doing insulation or anything where you end up with small painful fibers in your skin. Hope this helps at least one person lol
That CVT unit doesn't sound like it's really getting to the top of it's range (1:1-ish) until the engine is way up in it's RPM range. Maybe some looser springs in the driven unit and the gears in the transmission would be more useful? Right now it's like "pick a gear, any gear."
When I was a kid we used to call the cheap, underpowered 4-cylinder engines lawn mower engines, because they sounded like them. Here, you took a real lawn mower engine and made it work! My hat's off to you, sir.
You can purchase sheets of gasket material.. I use Felpro gasket material for situation as you have.. simply put a little grease on the parts surface lay on paper and imprint cut it out. You can use the bolts for punch against a board. If you look at a bolt the end is made just for this it will cut the gasket material...😎 8 N Ford tractor muffler would work... I use to use them on Onan generator for Motorcoach.
u can also hold it in place and knock around the edges with a soft-ish blunt tool like the handle of a screwdriver. tap it enough and u'll actually cut it clean. learned that from an old lazy mechanic :D
I felt the car was performing better as soon as you got it on the road. It seems this baby could really move (relatively speaking). Can't wait for the next episode. Keep up the good work Jumbo.
I might need one of these engines for my already CVT-transmissioned DAF 31, it might actually make it faster than stock! Also could help with the whole expensive parts thing.
I had to google DAF 31... Hmmm... a nice looking little car. I reckon updating the engine to something more modern might make the car more practical and cheaper to maintain.
I think a supertrapp muffler would be good- it's compact and gives you the ability to tune it with different plates. Used to be popular on old air cooled VWs. Your current rig sounds a lot like my friend's Super Beetle from highschool. And it's about as fast. Lol. Just needs some Black Sabbath playing through the Pioneer 6x9s and some burning parsley.
Finally my favourite channel uploaded new video, so i can use free time on very important thinks ❤❤ AND actually, you dont need to dissasemble the engine, you can just bypas the guvernor by eliminating the springs and just putting backspring so it would not stayed open, I was really thinking about how to bypas the slow throtle responce, but keep the rev limiter for my cheapo 200cc china engine, and i came up with solution, that i will stick a lever directly in front of the guvernor that will push it only to the half and stop, use spring , that it will stretch the sping after the lever would bottom out somewhere around half or more throtle, and merge the original throtle with the directly pushing carburator half limited throttle after the spring part, so it would react instantly to about half (or more, it just need to be less than the position when the guvernot keeps the revs low) and still be limiter on max revs.
Years ago I had a Subaru Justy with a 1.3 liter 3 cylinder engine, and the best muffler I could find was for a garden tractor, which I got at Tractor Supply.
I remember being taught how to make a new gasket using a Corn Flakes box and a ball-peen hammer! I've done it a few times; it's crude, but efficient! Maybe some sound-deadening insulation in the engine compartment, too??
I'm very surprised you aren't the type of person to have big rolls of gasket paper around to make your own gaskets at any given moment, hahaha. Also coulda gone with RTV of course. Holy crap this thing is loud and sounds ridiculous now. Loving the videos as always.
Sounds like you need a carburetor with an accelerator pump in it. Maybe a Rochester 2GC, Carter BBD, Weber 32/38 or 38/38? Or, being those are made for much larger displacement engines (318s, 350s and such), maybe a 1 barrel car carb? Dayton Carburetor makes a 1 barrel with an adjustable main jet in it. It's based on the Holley 1920.
I would love to see some go pro footage of the CVT working. It's interesting the way the RPMs go high then as thecvt kicks in the engine slows back down and slowly reaccelerates. Very cool project.
DAAAAHAHAHAHAAAM THAT'S LOUD! Bet your neighbours LOVE YOU! 🤔🤣🤣 Good idea for bolt on a 'slip on' end can from 600cc Motorcycle, some also have a quick removable baffle. It'd give a nice deeper note too 🤔😉 😎🇬🇧
It’s so much fun to listen to your words and to watch the changes and the progress. And sometimes I do learn some new vocabulary. I’m looking forward to the next update! See you - Martin
Love the videos. Can’t wait for the next video. Got a whole nother week. Good thing I work every day all day. Hahah thanks for the videos makes me wanna do this stuff. Keep it up.
"Correct gasket" is to glue gasket paper to the cover with contact cement. Then cut off all the excess paper. A rule of thumb for header pipe diameter is the exhaust valve diameter. Make the header pipe long enough to contain 100% or more of the cylinder displacement.
Please consider getting some gasket paper, some wad punches and a small ballpein hammer. It's pretty quick and easy making your own gaskets actually. I do it all the time on honda 125cc motorcycle engines. If you use "Hylomar Universal Blue" as a sealant for the gaskets, they never leak and never tear on disassembly so you can use them again. It's so good you can even reassemble with torn gaskets without leaks. It's fuel stable too. I used to use it all the time when I used to race motorcycles.
The way you fix the gasket deal is you glue gasket material onto the gasket surface with Gaskacinch, then trim off the excess with an exacto-knife. Another matter: you might wish a larger oil cooler, with a scoop to direct air over it at speed.
The way is sounds is just amazing! If you're interested in speed parts for the 670 you should check out performance 670, they have billet rods, cams, valve springs, and other kind of parts to hop these engines up
Unequal length exhaust? Subaru guys approve! 👍 😎
I built a similar unequal length exhaust for my suzuki sv650 so that the exhaust would exit under the seat. I did back to back runs on the same dyno With the unequal exhaust and my oem exhaust That was cut and fitted with An aftermarket muffler. The result was a nine horsepower loss using the unequal length exhaust .
The exhaust looks neat, but definitely produced horrible results
@@AverageJoesracingteamSubaru guys don't care about power. They barely stay running stock.
Cries in ringland failure
Better than the stock muffler.. which was likely unequal length as well.
@@AverageJoesracingteamYeah, actual Subaru tuners are well aware how inefficient UELHs are, which is why equal length options are out there, but plenty of people prefer the burble and can live with leaving some power on the table.
You’re the Mr Rogers of small engines. Thank you for being my neighbor!
I sure hope he did that testrun in the early morning, when everybody were asleep! :-D
Now we just have to hope that Mr. McFeely's Speedy Delivery is bringing the parts for the next episode.
@@DeadKoby That is truly funny. It took me a minute...
@@antoniovillanueva308 Maybe upon delivery they will sing a song about it.
I'm enjoying how loud it is at 13mph 😂

@@alexcoronathe output on a snowmobile might be heavier duty, but it's not what he's using.
It’s not stock. It’s a modified comet magnum 44.
Snowmobiles have 70+ horsepower, so yeah they have to have a much beefier CVT
We are using a Comet 44 series clutch system and its rated for 18HP. we are aware of its limitations and do plan on upgrading it to a Comet 700 series at some point.
You're giving tips to a guy who was once a Michigander, and I'm sure at some point he dabbled in snowmobiles. This ain't his first rodeo.
My weekend last week felt so incomplete without my Jimbo fix. Thanks for a complete weekend this week!
It would be cool to see you put an O2 sensor on each pipe just before they merged. The individual cylinder data would be great for tuning.
Your neighbors love this project. They don't even need an alarm clock anymore.
Never want an episode, to end.
Jimbo, you just might've created the perfect CZcams channel.
Thanks for bringing us all, along.
It seems like this project is making far quicker progress than any of the others. I love your statement of "finding some new problems". That's excatly how all projects work!
Pro tip. Once you have the header wrapped absolutely saturate the wrap with header paint. It glues it down and all but eliminates the pokies.
Thanks! I'll give it a try the next time we have the header out of the car.
Also, the wrap soaks up the paint like a sponge. You'll need more paint than you think.
That 4th gear rolling start sounded great! 😂
Us Subaru folks are happy! Unequal length headers is a bit of our thing!
YES!!!! count me in... unequal length headers rule!... Meh..because I'm too lazy to make equal length..
So is breaking down, let's hope this doesn't do that often
@@robotcantina8957 Header length isn't so important with a turbocharger anyway! 😀
Begin the Turbo chant!
What a weird/waste of time thing to embrace. Is there nothing more exciting about Subies than header type?
Sunday morning routine is now complete! Love the results, can't wait for the tuning portion next week 🙌
She’s a bit spicy now, or at least it sounds the part.

Another matter: you might wish a larger oil cooler, with a scoop to direct air over it at speed.
Missed you last week, hope all is well. Glad to see you back! 😊
I can't believe the matchbox toy car on the treadmill🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙 omg, I thought it was real!🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
For a gasket, go to your pantry and find breakfast cereal. Use the box to make a gasket.
Really enjoy your videos. I like the modify and test method. Thanks. Looking forward to the next episode.
2:39 I think your gonna have problems tuning the carb, along with exhaust scavenging issues with the unequal length exhaust header.
Sounds like a ww1 fighter plane 👍
That 670 sounds mean as hell!
You and your cliffhangers! 😵💫 Looking forward to next vidya thanks!
The way is sounds is just amazing!
If you're interested in speed parts for the 670 you should check out performance 670, they have billet rods, cams, valve springs, and other kind of parts to hop these engines up
I love how it's "LOUD ~silent while changing gears~ LOUD"
Well worth the wait for a missed sunday episode posting, keep on keeping on 🤘
