- This is one of Kevin Braun’s and Pete Aardema’s bizarre homemade designs which was a porotype originally intended for the use in an H1 Unlimited Hydroplane. The development of this 20 Liter V12 included the help of Kevin Aylesworth and Jeff Johnson. This massive gasoline powered beast measures nearly 1200 cubic inches with a 5.625 inch bore and a 4-inch stroke, producing a potential 3000 horsepower. Kevin and Pete are true automotive masterminds and are capable of doing pretty much anything they desire. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to see this engine in action. Please subscribe and check out the video library to see some more of Pete and Kevin’s engine designs and land speed racing events in action.
I can't even make my bed and these guys make engines from scratch.
Truth :)
😂😂😂
You wet ya bed?? Mmm?
@@tripled1600 Yep. Dreaming of making engines.🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
The hardest challenge these guys ever faced, was just finding the time to do it all.
Look like shadetree mechanics but with the knowledge of rocket scientists
These guys are something special
God, I wish Unlimited Hydroplane racing would go to this, the turbines are slowly killing the sport because of cost, and engine guys can't relate to a turbine. These engines would GREATLY reduce the cost and would be far more thrilling to watch race.
John, your observation is spot on. However, I personally would like to see other engine type class racing. Think of massive radial aircraft engines running 28 cylinders. Add to the list multi rotor Wankel engines. The list goes on..
i dunno about the cost reduction but they would be cool.
@@lasskinn474hard to believe yes, but the turbines for unlimited are insanely insanely expensive.
I wish I could just hang out and learn from these guys. They are truly amazing. They have forgot more about engines then I will ever know
wizards
Dang someone needs to sponsor these two an engine dyno. Can't wait for part 2!
I hope to see this in an H1 boat someday
Also tell Kevin to just calm down and be himself he is a natural on camera but you can tell that he's a little nervous but tell him he is a natural and just be himself
People love this
It’s not every day you hear a 20L quadcam v12 with a lumpy idle
The V12 brought the thunder to Unlimited Hydroplane racing, I hope that we will see interest increase in producing this engine for boat racing.
PLEASE tell me part 2 of this video will be uploaded soon. I LOVE the content of this channel. It's truly mind blowing to me!
Glory be! What a sound. Love the car alarm once they cut ignition. Rather abrupt ending!
These 2 blokes are Gods.
How does this channel not have more followers?
I can’t stay silent any longer. Greg i thank you for putting this channel together and showcasing these two geniuses in disguise 👍🏻. As far as I’m concerned @youtube this is the heartbeat of your whole engine corner. ❤
I always wanted to build one of the packard 2500cid pt boat motors as turbocharged and fuel injected!
awesome powerplant! I like how it's not fluffed. just solid and simple
Id bet my lift leg that those two could build one hell of a tractor pulling engine...
Well, two people are living the life! Good buddies sharing knowledge, brainstorming, machining, assembling, testing, etc. It all sounds like a bunch of fun to me. This is something I always wanted to do, and I am happy for these gentlemen. The build is important, but the friendship is key.
When these guys went home, their wives asked "did it work?" ... To which they replied, "WHAAAAAT !?!?!?!?!?!?"
Happy to see you posting videos again
Poetry in sound n motion right there
As one who grew up on the world’s fastest (only one on salt water) H-! Racecourse in Mission Bay and listened to those big RR bomber engine powered rigs. I’d know i ‘d died and gone to heaven if I heard this beast at full song on that straight down Fiesta Island. It would rattle windows a mile away.
Your incorrect about San Diego being the only salt water course. They used to race at the Miami Marine Stadium which is off Biscayne Bay (salt water), and was arguably the best location from the spectator's perspective: great seating and location.
Would love to see that thing running the AA class at Bonneville
Hell with the Hydro set up, it belongs in a Duesnberg or one of crumbs creations! Just caught minute five, Hooray!
Build a streamliner to run agaist danny Thomson ( mickeys son) , his is a twin engine one
Yet another amazing video. Sounds like a perfect symphony
Message for the Ricer crowd....
Think of this engine as TEN Honda 2.0L engines... but MUCH COOLER
I’m in San Diego and remember this engine from the Bayfair a few years ago. I thought it was magnificent. We had a delightful conversation and I wish I had got their contact info. Would still love to go be a fly on the wall. I retire from the navy in a couple years and want to be a performance engine machinist in time.
Id love to see that engine master piece power something great work.
There needs to be a piston powered unlimited hydroplane class. Nobody likes the whistling turbine sound. They were called Thunder boats for a reason.
OLD GUYS RULE......
I REST MY CASE
I am in the process of helping your channel become worldwide and super huge
It's a work of art, and it must make a crazy amount of torque too!
That sound is lovely
Wow fellas nice work!
Hand built from scratch. Amazing.
You are going to be very popular overseas
Mind...blown! Just amazing, thank you.
I wonder if the angle between the cylinder banks is 60 or 90 degrees ? 12 cylinders are usually 60 degrees.
It is 60 degrees to maintain an even firing order.
These guys must really like machining. The motors output is anemic, but I respect the effort. They should spend some of that effort making custom heads and intakes for existing motors that are lacking aftermarket support
Enjoy the ride bud you deserve it
I bet this thing could make 5,000 horsepower on 30psi boost!
Especially on alcohol
That is awesome!
Spectacular work!!!!
They should build a v12 with ducati L2 cylinder heads they are made for 110+ bore and put that with 50mm stroke and rev it to 15000rpm cz it has desmo valvetrain!!
Amazing man love it
Wow, I don't know about a ¾ ton International. I can see this engine in a Tractor Trailer, like a 50's or 60's Pete or Kenworth Needle/Narrow nose. It'd seem like too much engine for a pickup, the smallest I could see this engine in would be a Top kick, or Medium Duty truck application...but some mad lad did swap a Merlin in a 55 Chevy...so then again swapping this engine in a full size pickup isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Thanks again for documenting and showing us the startup of the beast, always loves hearing what these old masters have to say and show!
There was a guy back in the 50's -- 60's putting WW11 V12's in regular cars. He wrote a book about all the crazy things that he did unfortunately I can't remember his name. Hopefully someone will remember it.
He did say it was going into a Jay Leno type truck. I think he was referring to one of his "cars" like the v-12 powered speedster type thing , actually it looks like an old grand-fix car before they moved the engines to the rear.
"Something" brothers, I think sore throat guys who built it. They scaled up the body and such so the body and engine proportions were similar.
This thing is soooooo bad a$$. Love it.
Absolutely awesome work guys.
Also thank you Greg for documenting these "adventures".
Content and narration is great
Sounds like sheer power!!!😊😊😊
Dont forget about me... YOUNG DOLPHIN
Perfect gift I just watched more of the video you can buy them a new dyno
It's beautiful
Another Great Video full of nothing but awesomeness!
What ecu does this run please ? Amazing work. Love it.
I think they made their own.😉
The ECU is made by Adaptronics in Australia.
A gas version of a Detroit/GM Diesel, made from aluminum, and modern lighter weight parts, drop the compression to about 10:1 use a large rotary valve on the intake if needed, to prevent the piston from pushing air back into the intake, or maybe use something similar to a sleeve valve, use 1/4 of the bore as a port about 1.5" -2" tall, 3-4 ports to induce swirl, at a angle , to allow the blower to push out the exhaust filling the cylinder, the low pressure high volume boost filling the cylinder, and inject the fuel on the piston top and it start to rise compressing the air evaporating any liquid fuel, mixing it with air, at higher rpm possibly injection of fuel may need to start soon as the piston uncovers the port as scavenging is happening, if exhaust temperature is a issue, cam timing may need to be modified to close the valves to prevent fresh air and fuel from entering the exhaust , the engine should make tons of power! Especially at higher rpm when the turbo spools, pushing about 2bar into the cylinders, possibly requiring multiple fine must low volume fuel injectors, to allow a fine atomised intake charge to be pulled in, the wet injection would allow the fuel to evaporate and burn later in the stroke, possibly making more power, the engine would require a lot of testing to get ell the power from a turbo two stroke GAS engine, I think atleast a 3.80"- 4"+ stroke would be best because if the loss of work due to the intake port, maybe it doesn't matter, maybe the boost / scavenger and cam timing makes up for it, and all the energy is extracted and the exhaust valve can open allowing the pressure to start the scavenging, before the intake is open allowing the exiting exhaust pull in intake charge, then the 1-2 bar boost, making more power,
Even a 53 series based gas engine would be awesome, 424cid v8 or even a 150 cid 4 cylinder, but 2stroke I'd love to build one!! Converting a diesel to gas, the weight is out of the question, weighting 1000's of pounds it's better off diesel! Sorry to ramble!! ✌️
Other than the Saturn 5 night launch, this is up there. A little extreme, not for me. They made it happen, Gold.
Has it been taken down? I can see it, but it won't load!
Watch how I make viewer's increase. This video. Let the snowball begin
@ Yung Dolphin We would love to pick up some more views! I'm still trying to figure out this CZcams thing! Thank you! Greg
@@GregQuirin u have figured it out pretty well. This video was done well
finaly, a engine worthy of puting in a car
That's insane !!!!
Ryan Falconers V-12's are physically smaller 1/2 the cubic inch displacement, make 1200-1500 hp naturally aspirated, & over 3000 hp with twin Eaton superchargers
Just making horsepower is not the problem in a hydroplane. It is about the worst conditions I have ever had to deal with because the engine is always under full load and the propeller is bouncing in and out of the water. Reliability is the problem.
I see a red Prius in the back ground. I bet that is the recipient car...or is there a tesla waiting somewhere ?
Please finish the story..
Could you guys reproduce the ultra rare McGee brothers quad cam top fuel engine?
Power
Incredible!
Would love to put this in a thunder mustang
True marsters
Ty guess guys are legends
You know, if the cameraman held still once in awhile it might be a little easier to see and appreciate this thing!
Turbo's don't look like there attached to the exhaust?
they are belt driven, not exhaust.
it sounds very similar to the 26L merlin v12's from ww2
It even sounds better hearing it in person 3 feet away!
@@GregQuirin I wouldn't doubt it one bit
What is the advantage of the cylinders bolting to the crankcase vs an engine where the cylinder heads bolt to engine block? He compares its to construction to a Harley. I believe Ferrari in the 60’s designed engines that way too.
Ease of machinability mostly, helps keep costs down as well
No head gasket problems. Millers and Offys were built that way for that reason.
Boost it!!! Spin it!
this might be good in an aeroplane
It's just slightly smaller than the Rolls Royce Kestrel engine that powered many 1930s fighters (even the prototype of the Bf-109!). Of course with twin turbos I'm sure it makes a hell of a lot more power...
Bonneville.
Tractor pulling?
Not a lot of stroke for such a big engine. I guess she can rev a bit?
That motor sure sounds good 👍
How much hp
Do these guys need an intern?!
This thing in a ww2 fighter
1200 cu.in is on the small side for a WW2 fighter engine. The Merlin was probably the smallest mainstream one, and it displaced 1650 cu.in. That being said, this engine would probably knock a WW2 engine's socks off thanks to modern engineering knowledge and twin turbos.
Got to put than in something cool 😎
Can you put us in touch, I’m in San Diego and want to check this out. I also know engine electronics well…
Would like to talk to you. How can we get a hold of you.
@@kevinbraun6272 I think we have a mutual friend, I’m gonna see if I can get your number from him…
😊
Those air filters are tiny and reducing peak output a lot.
Lmao you think they don't know this shit?
They used to be full size units from a big rig, but they’ve had such a vacuum pulled on them, they now look like their fit for a Honda K20 or something. ;)
That would be awesome in a VW bug.
And so you are not going to for Elmers Garage. or Bonnevile with a car to go for the speed record? Spend all that money and the burn tires off of the car for media??????
I think they shd put it in a boat
YOUNG DOLPHIN
Wow what crank does it use
Usually Callie builds their cranks for them.
Put it in a Miata
Do me one favor when the wealth comes in please kick down a little to the key old guys they are great I know they are well off but just take him down some money put a smile on their face once it starts coming in nice maybe a year from now you're going to have too much to even think about
You gotta quit moving around so much.
