Awesome series. This is exactly the type of content I have been looking for. Keep up the good work. I'll be impatiently waiting for the next video.

Waiting for the next episode of this series is like waiting for the next episode of the Mandalorian. Very exciting.

Man I literally spent hours upon hours throughout November/December doing research and building a Predator 212 for a big minibike race. 99% of info about these motors on the internet is subjective or a secret due to Kart racing teams running these motors competitively. Thanks for making these videos and keep up the good work!

Because nobody actually knows what they're doing lol. Plus every track is different, no combination of parts ever works for every track.

I don't even mess with small engines but as a drag racer and car person I love watching parts comparisons and dyno test.

I have a huge respect for all you KZread builders/makers out there you literally produce and market Hollywood quality content weekly without aides or other actors just you some friends and your garage all the while working your daily jobs and raising a family the majority of you.. it's pretty nuts honestly....you sir are an over achiever and have no gripe about a small issue with filming issues. Keep up the phenomenal job

So the fake mikuni carb would have had it at 15+hp zz... I can't wait to see everything you have in store! I complained about you in the past in the comments section and I was wrong. You kick ass and I appreciate you.

I'M LOVING THESE DYNO VIDEOS! Please, keep them coming! I can't wait until you do the same thing with the Predator 670.

Just picked up a 212, thought I was going to leave it stock until I found your channel. You earned a new sub here, thanks for spending my money red beard.

As you show its not just peak numbers but area under the curve that improves It would be great to see side by side graphs or overlays Peak hp does not tell the whole story Great video mate!

Normally great videos! On these Dyno Test, You know all the Engine DATA, but most People don't it would be nice to have all the Engine Data, CC, CAM Spec, Valve Spring lbs, Valve Sizes used, Carb Size, Type of Air Filter used, Type of Exhaust used. A list of hp made at different rpm, other than just Max hp@rpm. These Honda/Clone Engines are being used on more Products every day. Go Carts, Off Road Karts, Snowmobiles, Snow Gliders, Air Boats, Mini Bikes, Hover Craft, Mud Boats, Part 103 Ultralight Airplanes, PPC, Kit Planes, Hover Craft, etc. Like for Airplane use they would be limited to Max 5500rpm for Durability and that's just for Takeoff 2-3min and then Power Reduced to 75% to 90% depending on Speed or GPH use. Part 103 Ultralights can only carry 5 Gallons. Part 103 and most Small Kitplanes use 26hp to 40hp Engines. The Lazair Ultralight first used (2) 5.5hp Chainsaw Engines then upgraded to used (2) Rotax 185 2 Strokes at 9.4hp@5000rpm each, then upgraded to (2) Solo 210 Engines 15hp each. All Planes have a Max Takeoff Weight (MTOW). A Good Power to Weight Ratio is 1kw for 10 kg to Fly Well. The Lazairs MTOW is 450 lbs = 204.1166 kg / 10 kg = 20.41166 kw needed to Fly Well = 27.37249 hp / 2 = 13.686 hp or 13.7hp needed for each Engine. Which these Honda/Clone 200/212 engines can make that hp@5000rpm. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioOFsblrd9TZZ7Q.html

These dyno videos are great for seeing gains. Love them

That Ams Oil is awesome stuff. I swear I get an extra 200 rpm with it in my 2 stroke snowmobile. The exhaust pipes get a little sticky and messy but it's worth it.

This round of videos has had great audio. The sound of the tools and voiceover were spot on.

Can't wait to see what some port work does to compliment the cam. It's very cool to see the air/fuel being shown in these last couple videos. You should get into that a bit more, showing jet changes and what not is required with each change to keep it in line. Very cool stuff!

That was good, but one thing I would like to have seen was the graph of the last one with the same carb against this run to see the changes in where the HP is with the different Camshafts. Also when you do the head, compare the two stock heads, against two ported heads (maybe just use a thick gasket to compensate for the lack of dish in the piston for the original style head)

Loving all the dyno vids of you testing parts. Thanks for doing these. 😎👍👍

This is a great series! Absolutely love it. Really hope the 459 predator gets thrown in the mix. Just started a Yamaha G2 project and am planning on dropping a 459 in it. (It has no engine so for my purposes I figure the 459 is the way to go.) For this year I plan on just running it stock but next winter tear it down and liven it up a little bit. Great series, keep up the fantastic work and have a wonderful day.

Awesome series, should show dyno graph and numbers from starting point bone stock to what you have achieved!

Great job Redbeard really like this series I like to see you put your 224 stroker on their I built about the same motor so I'm anxious to see what kind of numbers that does that be great keep up the good work brother peace out

Good stuff thanks for doing this. Always look forward to the upcoming episodes. I'm sure you been asked to Dyno a stock ghost motor out the box and see.

Guessing you’re already planning on it but I’d like to see what an EFI system will do, power wise, compared to a carb. Love this series!

I’m absolutely loving the series red beard!! I have one suggestion even though I’m sure you’d like as much content as possible, but I’m wondering if it would save you a ton of time if you just refer to your videos that shows the install part of the parts? I still watch it but I feel like it would give you way more time and dyno content if you just bang out the part install and show us the results. Probably be able to get through wayyyy more variations and combos that way we can get more dyno content. Thanks for the uploads brother !! Maybe run a poll to see what the viewers prefer? Just trying to make your life a little easier ! Less editing for stuff you’ve done 100 times and more time testing new combos! Also curious if you’ll ever run a subscriber dyno shootout? Awesome videos man. Loving the dyno content

This series will sort the claims from the real ...can wait until the next video!

Love the series very interesting

very nice series keep it up

It might be possible to remove the HP dip around 7000 RPM, by lengthening or shortening the intake tube between the carb and the head. It would be interesting to see how that will affect the HP output curve, and should be very easy and cheap to do. Since the cam was changed you changed the intake duration and resonance, and it normally means you also nee to change intake length to match the cam.

Next one please! The combos you can do, this series could last a long time.

Really enjoying these Dyno videos. Maybe a video on comparing to fact same mods on a 196 vs 212? Just to see the differences in power bands

Love these videos! I started watching you because of the golf cart build you were doing. Any plans to do any more golf cart type building in the future?

Thanks for the videos, would love to see more videos on 301cc preds and gx390/420 preds. We have a few lawn mower pulling clubs in my area (northern middle tn) and use those engines.

You might get a few more horse power if you stick a RBG sticker or two on that engine just saying.

The small valve 14cc head is a popular budget option....giving up valve size vs compression. You could compare a ported 14cc to a ported stock valve on the same engine and I believe same head gasket.

Very cool keep it up

Hey Greg, greetings from Texas!! Fantastic series. Could you include a link to a comprehensive comparison of all the builds including est prices of each step? I would love to see the bang for the buck comparison as well.

Yeah, this is fkg cool stuff! I used to love building v-8 engines, but i have to say, this is just as enjoyable just on a smaller scale. I wonder if it would be possible to come up with some videos of some epic fails? Like showing just how bad a factory flywheel explodes on the dyno? It would definitely make someone think twice before taking the governor off a stock motor! Yeah, that probably won't happen but i had to ask! Also the big block motors are going to really get my attention because i want to put together a bike with one, albeit stock, just for the torque to climb just about anything! I don't need to go fast anymore, i just want to be able to to get to those far away hunting spots!

Would like to see a Paul’s kart cam on stronger springs with stock carb…. A lot of people watching are go kart racers an this gives us an idea of what hp our motors might be putting out…. But a lot of them have to run drilled stock carb style stuff.

Once you do the final build up with max HP you should do dyno runs with differant weight oils would be cool to see how much HP is lost by thick oil

l love this series. if you can hit the 20 to 30 hp mark off pump gas ill order the parts for that build. I want a 4 stroke for my ultra light.

Don't get me wrong, I love the content and the videos.Type of videos all of us want. I appreciate the effort. I just don't understand the high rpm pulls so quickly on break in oil. Normally two oil changes on break in oil are in order to remove assembly lube and tiny metal particles that come with these types of engines when new.

RBG does engine pulls off camera with the break in oil. Break can be as little 15 minutes- top engine builders with diamond hones and proper hone grits. That said, leak down testing/no oil residue inside the exhaust port verifies the rings have seated.

@markyoung9964 I asked that very question, "Was a proper break in done before that high rpm pull? Am I missing something?" That being said, I would not do full rpm pulls on contaminated break in oil. I race prep Briggs Animal lo206 engines and have championship hardware to show. I have found the engines put out more power and last longer if the proper break in procedure is followed. Mostly decontamination the oil is the biggest deal. I also have a stage 4 kit on a predator hemi from NR racing with a 280 cam and 2.1 ratio rockers. I do not speak just to speak. I speak from experience.

Im sorry but you should try a big filter with velocity stack! That little filter has to be hurting a little power! Love the series

Loving these videos, I would love to see what a CDI unit did to the power and torque curves. CDI performance parts in Canada have kits for these small blocks

Man can't wait for you to test the supercharger 670 and maybe an update on the karts?

Honestly watch Richard Holdner and his engine dyno stuff. I want to see everything he does but on a tiny engine. Intake runner length tests. Head to head brand builds. Turbo the world.

At this level i dont think you'll see real big gains from the head maybe 0.5-1hp but rockers heck yes! Do just the intake rocker dyno it, then do both, you'll see how little effect that extra lift has on the exhaust side.

You should check out David Vizard he explains rocker ratios and how they don't always do what they're supposed to each one will lift the valve off the seat at a different speed very good information to learn

I'd like to see different intake lengths tested, there has to be a different as the math suggests a different power band

I hope you dyno test a 301 hemi Predator. I've had a lot of naysayers over the years tell me they're junk and not worth building. My Coleman CT200U-EX was a completely different bike going from a "stage 2" small block to a basically stock 301 with only a header & governor delete.

I was really curious about the lubrication of a lot of these predator motors and Honda engines at general oil thrower at the bottom of the connecting rod I made a clear side cover ran the motor and was surprised to see that the lubricant only flung around the gears the teeth themselves and would drip down on the connecting rod bearing and other parts after you shut it off So I took a file and made a very small flat portion on the oil thrower towards the front of the motor made a nightinday difference with the way the oil splashed around

Id like to get a billet steel rod, with a pressurized oil system, forged piston, with oil squirter, and oil cooler, it should spin 10k rpm

You should really degree that cam to shift that powerband over some

Supercharged 212

Hi, Kevin . I'm Greg's AMSOIL dealer. If you get a chance contact me.

@8:37 I agree modifying the crank is necessary but re-balancing, especially after that much grinding on one side should be considered. When you're digging for every last 1/10th hp, a balanced crank and blueprinted rotating mass assembly will unlock hidden gains. Also, is that dinky air filter a class limited size and/or manditory?

Awesome! Is this cam similar to “the racer” cam on Go Power Sports?

2000rpm range of 11.25ft/lb+ of torque is great!

Is there any way you could dyno a 212 ghost, with the ghost "performance kit", compare the straight intake vs the 90 degree, and do a stock ghost carb vs mikuni, i think that would be interesting

Im wanting to see some more test runs with the bike

Love this series. Did you plasitgage that rod off camera?

Would like to see a Briggs or even a GC190 on the dyno

Vary cool

OK I like all that now let's see one that's built like that and port match everything intake an exhaust wise an see what we get see if it helps throttle response an bottom end torque wise and be another series part to do too

Great information. Will you be doing a DuroMax 440?

i got a 356 cam in a 212...i cannot find a carb that works .....really enjoying the dyno runs

Just a few thoughts, are there cooling upgrades for these engines? With hp, comes heat. I see the new flywheel appears to have a slightly different fin design but is that enough? How long would one expect the lifespan to be without some sort of cooling upgrade? Which could be a neat addition to the series, upgrading the oiling system and adding cooling to it with external oil cooling to see how it effects overall engine temps. Have you considered non traditional engine choices for up coming builds? I know they can be harder to find bolt on parts for, but it would be very interesting to see. For instance I have a Rhino 450. They're slow but reliable, and I'll likely replace it with a maverick eventually. But without aftermarket support for real hp gains it would be very interesting to see how much improvement can be made from engines without thst support. Things like playing with different size carbs, porting and polishing, intake and exhaust upgrades. Mabey even a couple homemade turbo set ups. Things that can be done with any engine that just doesn't have the benefit of a huge following to bring parts and experience to the table. Also, this show is getting a very much too scripted vibe. Similar to the old spike tv shows. We all know damn well those e-clips turn into ballistic missles just by looking at them wrong. I don't know where you got those low tension stunt clips from, but it really takes away from the realism.

Thanks for making this series ! Question: are those torque specs the same on a Non Hemi ? I am following this and want to build mine similar. Its a non hemi though.

Hey Red, I saw in one of your videos. Sry can't remember which one. Where you plumbed the valve cover vent back to the crank case where you removed the govener arm. I would like to suggest plumbing it back to the intake tract since increased crank case vacuum improves ring seal. You could add a small oil separater to prevent intake charge contamination. I am curious to see if this would make a real world dyno number difference.
