V16 hot rod? rat rod? part 2

[fayth78a1]

uhm when i see the rim it look like dodge viper rims....idk why

[TheMykkH]

How are the engines joined? I see the flywheel spinning on the front engine, is it connected to the balancer of the rear engine?

[ShawnMc749]

Bet changing out belts on the rear motor is fun.

[RotaryRobBrap]

daily driven? jk

[TheTeamjasn]

AMAZING so cool, well done to the builder.

[crusTodd]

Yeah, it's a cool ride Yannick. Like I say, I think the frame and suspension should be a kit. I could see an aluminum version for hot 4 cylinders or v-6 power. Maybe a TDI VW diesel? And a single engine V-8 size. I'm surprised by how many guys run sand rails on the street in the warm climates! This be WAAAAAAY cooler than that.

[Elquiesceace]

are they seperate engines? or are they welded at the crank and timed the same?

[popatittyshit]

@Elquiesceace probably not welded im guessing they are bolted together though.

[Cardie94]

So how does the transmission work on this? Looks sweeeet

[asinhawkeye0065]

OMG SO SEXY now what the gas mileage on this?



[san2n8]

This probably has been asked a few times, but how is the power from the 2 engines transferred, separately to a one way clutch, through a clutch from first engine crank to second, does it have a separate flywheel for each engine??? I need to know more about this incredible hotrod! Are there any homepages of this build?

[SireCustoms]

@san2n8 Look at the rest of the vids on my page and see!

[doctorwhodj]

create a Honda vtec tho the third power.

[doctorwhodj]

are those Dougs headers? im inspired to conjoin three Honda VTEC motors and make an inline 12.

[SireCustoms]

@doctorwhodj U-bends and j-bends but  Yes.. Dougs or should i say Pertronix

[numbnutsyo]

is it street legal? if so im guna break my gmc and chevy down for the v8s and have a ball lol

[marchondaracing]

Only the exhaust are pretty amazing!! Lot of fine work, vous travaillez vraiment bien je peux vous le dire cher Européen, salut du Québec

[SuzukiRider93]

they should put this car in gt5

[thebizzlehimself]

I don't think I've seen such beautiful exhaust headers before!!

[homerunhita12]

how are they bolted together?

[gav240z]

How the hell does this work? 1 v8 for the front wheels and 1 v8 for the rear wheels? My brain can't work this out :).

[Arthurb06]

My only question is... WHAT DA FACK!?

[AmusingAirplane]

Is the chassis/ roll cage design based off a dodge viper?

[boltenloozen]

Those exhaust headers were made by an artist! very impressive tube work.

[g00dl00kinb0i]

Those exhaust manifolds are looking crazy - Great job guys.

[alexharrison15]

quit hatin you fuckin faggots this shit is boss as fuck!

[ImDaMan323]

sick! how many miles to the gallon?

[MMMRCHPCTB]

@ImDaMan323 Gallons per mile is more like it...

[SireCustoms]

@MMMRCHPCTB 17 @ 60mph since you have no clue other than hate and be negative

[SireCustoms]

@twostrokeornill1 Yeah this was built for mileage.. seriously.. look up electric hybrid this is no place for you!

[Ryknfjor]

Okay i got 2 questions...

1. how did you utilize both engines

2. what chassis did you go off of?

[crusTodd]

Mmmm... and it reminds me of the Cheetah race cars from the '60's

[SireCustoms]

@crusTodd nice!

[crusTodd]

It pretty typical to see idiots leaving negative comments on a car THEY CAN'T BUILD! I think Leno agrees it's a cool car. Maybe the design isn't optimal in some ways. Maybe. But it's unique, self-designed and built from low-budget parts (mostly), fast, AND it gets respect from people who could spend a PILE O' CASH on any thing they want. Plus, I'll bet it's a BLAST to drive. I'd like to see it sold as a single-engined kit car.

[SireCustoms]

@crusTodd You couldn't be more RIGHT! Thank you!

[Hiago773]

sonho de consumo HEHEH

[SebNormandy]

Ça parle français à la fin!!

[SireCustoms]

@SebNormandy De Toulouse



[SebNormandy]

@SireCustoms Super, vous avez participé a la construction de la bête?

[kozz1963]

a question about your set up. are the engines coupled through each other ?? if so when you accelerate them individually why did it not speed both up??

[lomestar350]

Love it, but its realy not a rat rod wears the old school tarnish and the look alike rust ??

[SireCustoms]

@lomestar350  Think of tarnish as a paint finish.. not all rats are rusty... but true not really a rat just a hybrid of many things! Thank you!

[dookie89]

how can you increase throttle separately? shouldn't then run in series? or is the front motor not hooked into anything but the exhaust and a gas tank? lol not serious about that but really... this makes no sense to me.

[SireCustoms]

@dookie89 When throttled separately one engine drags the other...keep thinking about it it'll make sense!

[beyond305]

i wanna know who was the genius who put the radiators behind the exhaust headers...thats gottta be the dumbest shit ive ever seen. the HOT air coming off the headers goes right into the radiators lol smart man...really smart

[urbanmustang]

fircken incredible , amazing on so many levels

[SireCustoms]

@urbanmustang  Thanks!

[FrakMunkie]

haha, Nice.

What's the roof cut from?



[SireCustoms]

@FrakMunkie Karman Ghia x 2

[Valtiel1605]

All that money and customization and you settle for those cheap Edelbrock foam air cleaners lol

[SireCustoms]

@Valtiel1605 All that money? the whole car is mostly shit i had laying around my shop... they had no foam just on there to keep assholes from puttin shit in the carbs!

[ballerxfoxsho]

Paten this ASAP. Youd make millions

[Alex77Carr]

are both engines puting power 2 the ground???

HOW!?!!

[caioghiotto]

This is madness!!! This is Spartaaaaa!

[Auxane69]

ah c est des français qui parlent? ^^

[SireCustoms]

@Auxane69 L'artiste deToulouse

[JuicedJetta]

btw are those Viper rims?

[jpjr12251]

Imagine that shit in the rain lol

[SireCustoms]

@jpjr12251 imagine driving it in the canyons of sunny california

[trapped45]

@SireCustoms Heck yeah!! Can you please upload some canyon run videos. I wanna see how your beast handles :)

[porknbeans2013]

@SireCustoms is the second engines radiator beside the exhaust? or are you running it off of the front radiator and just using a second water pump to get it back that far? gotta say i love this car, the use of chevy smallblocks in this configuration is genius. I read a comment about the coupler between the engines, can you explain it? is it a clutch type or more like a torque converter?

[TheSaltysack]

i hear you got 2 clutches and 2 gas pedal...lol

[ricardocrick1]

What wheels are on it?

[SireCustoms]

@ricardocrick1 02 BMW X5

[rameliito]

this should be in a sport car

[CanardAircraft]

absolutely meaningless and insane, I love it!!

[SireCustoms]

@CanardAircraft YES!

[moofish1]

excellent work incredible car.  Imagine a single Tucker style headlight that moves with the steering!

[SireCustoms]

@moofish1 I did but no room... Thanks!

[250forlife]

this should be on a porn site

[MegaGamer1919]

love to do the oil change on that bud hate to pay for it

[Ovadose850]

Yeah it looks cool.

But how does it handle ?

[SireCustoms]

@Ovadose850 Amazing= indy car on the street

[Sirimico]

thumbs up

[sickkbasterd101m]

how does the first engine put power down to the trans or is it tied into the crank and belt system of the second engine

[welovedickblake1]

When you sped up the first engine it struck me that the rpm's don't have to be perfect, one engine can speed up (like engine braking) the other, but doesn't this continual inconsistency have a bad effect on the crankshafts and tie rods? like knocking?

[SireCustoms]

@welovedickblake1 Not with the engine coupler i built..

[KISSarmyist]

This video is brought to you by......global warming.

[R3yHDz]

Quick question... does that model come with A/C?

[NinjaToastMan]

@R3yHDz yeah providid by foot to the floor Tec

[SireCustoms]

@NinjaToastMan Nice!

[StillOnTheRun44]

wow! this thing would have effortless torque! great work!

[CFH4E]

its awsome but how did u get that to work?

[BAMITsJACOB]

"Honey, go get some milk" "FUCK YEAH"

[codeman6998]

how do you get the two engines to work together.

[theguy5550]

im intrigued at this. how do you get power from both motors to the wheels? also # i bet those headers were fun to make #1.5 they look sweet #2 amazing work. that thing is sick.

[ProTruck87]

for some reason jegs and summit doesnt seem to have those headers lol. I called them to tell them what they were for and they hung up on me

[lZeaDl]

What a beast i want one:D

[mikeb1444]

Firing the engines out of phase by 45 degrees won't give you the 16 cylinder exhaust note like the BRM V16 because the same header encounters a more continuous pulse, thus you get a Yamaha R1 style pulse. Try 315 degrees, or more easily, you can disconnect the coupler, move it 1/3 turn, and you'll get a more V16 ish note

[vivi72098]

Non on l'a pas assez entendu! lol

[Daner8282]

so how many gallons per mile does it consume?

[Kloseqq]

$100/100km?

[stempa13]

Man! this vehicle is awesome! You are my hero ;D

respect from Poland!

[spongebob773]

How the hell can you dislike this? Its amazing craftsmanship, but I guess I would be mad too since if I would do this with two 4 cyl just to have a 8 cyl.

[4NICK8TER1]

thumbs down

[SireCustoms]

@4NICK8TER1 2 middle fingers up lol!

[4NICK8TER1]

@SireCustoms Quit lying...you know you still got one in your butt

[TheMrholt]

@SireCustoms hell yea make that four i got your back BALLIN build  keep the vids coming

[Piffydaily]

@SireCustoms thoses headers are pure art work...kool

[zeekdavis11]

@4NICK8TER1 what the hell is wrong with you?

[4NICK8TER1]

@zeekdavis11 not much, what the hell is wrong with you?

[TYRUS1990]

Love It!! 

[hempseed57]

That is like something you would see on road warrior where they are all driving around looking for gas. oh the irony.

[frouwoulou]

ce monstre est en france??

[SireCustoms]

@frouwoulou Non... USA

[SireCustoms]

@SireCustoms  What?

[schumi444]

@frouwoulou je ne pense pas que notre police accepterait ce genre de véhicule en France et c'est bien dommage!

[OffroadRaptor660]

how much of a difference does it make other than a single block?

[REZtastic]

Rofl, are those rims from a dodge viper??

[XxhilfmirxX]

price/cost estimate?

[fenderstratguy]

That thing's awesome man

[mikeb1444]

Are those V8's firing in sync or out of sync by 45 degrees?

[mikeb1444]

@mikeb1444 Nevermind. It's 45 degrees. I watched your other video. AWESOME

[SireCustoms]

@mikeb1444 Thank you!

[Rancidkidd]

Amazing build! What I dont understand is how both motors are hooked up. Are the crank shafts connected to each other and the rear engine runs to the tranny? Or is one for show and one for go? =P

[SireCustoms]

@Rancidkidd rear engine runs the tranny just as normal and front engine is connected to rear engine via a coupler i made... check out my other vids there is a close up of the coupler in one of them! thank you!

[supercarboy2]

its just a fucked up viper.

[MonsterDuner450]

Hands down one of the sickest cars built! Great job on the fab work man. Need more videos of it doin some nasty burnouts though!!! haha

[chevguy350]

100 mpg

[SireCustoms]

@chevguy350 17 mpg



[etem40]

how is the tranny hooked up?

[SireCustoms]

@etem40 like normal

[bassxchill]

wow this car gets better mileage than my mustang haha (then again im always driving in the city) do you plan on giving this car a proper shell?

[sebasinfire]

Beau bolide sa... tu a fait le chassie toi même?

[SireCustoms]

@sebasinfire Oui!

[sebasinfire]

@SireCustoms Très beau travail alors franchement j'adore

[SireCustoms]

@sebasinfire Merci bien!!!

[souldriver81]

Wow amazing. Wanna sell it ?Price?

[DumpValvesAndDnB]

Thats really cool. wouldn't expect that to come out of france!!

[SireCustoms]

@DumpValvesAndDnB Thank you...Why not, I get my Passion from there!!

[jamillano]

its only two V8 man

[Veikra]

Salut de l'autre cote de l'atlantique

[23juliano231]

extreme! very nice man!

[couz650]

Vous êtes de quelle région? j'étais surpris de vous entendre commencer une discussion en français à la fin.

[SireCustoms]

@couz650 Toulouse...Salut

[johncartelli]

wow ton of work just in making the pipes!

[zekis000]

looks like a stripped bmw z4 on steroids

[blnt548]

@zekis000 either that or a viper when you look at it from the rear

[doublesomeday]

what kinda hp you pushin?

[510Exclusive]

Where the hell did you get somebody to make those headers? they're fucking sick!

[Grossaye]

belle machine.



[SireCustoms]

@Grossaye Merci mon ami

[octaneping]

Now all it needs is a cowl or hood that you can put a fancy "Double Eight" badge on!

[john55blaze]

You guys do amazing work(very creative), I loved the car the second I saw it in Hot Rod magazine, keep up the good work

[rippkurlzable]

whoever did those headers is an artist...

[Michaelientje]

so what mileage do you get?

and do you have to countersteer at avery gas station? :P

[SireCustoms]

@Michaelientje 17 mpg @ 65 mph but lets not talk about it when the foots on the floor

[dugan1991]

@SireCustoms then it goes to 17 gallons per mile haha, sick ride ive looked at your videos and that machine is awesome

[cb7pwn]

@SireCustoms L.O.L better mpg than my 99 f150 5.4l hahaha

[dannichls1]

I don't understand how you use both engines for drive power. Is there a shaft between both crank shafts?

[SireCustoms]

@dannichls1 yes and will make a vid on it soon

[oldford71]

@SireCustoms has that vid been made yet cause i'd love to see it..very fascinated by the twin engine concept I see some cars being built with..

[Irushconcrete007]

not a true v16 but still the thought of having a badass hot rod i call WIN vs. every civic

[Unicvr]

chevy v8?

[nitrousgtx3]

It isn't suppose to be a car, it should be a rocket lol

[kittenasacat44]

gay



[Hogasofa]

Wait your cooling both those engines with one radiator?

[SireCustoms]

@Hogasofa 1 rad in very front and 2 rads on each side of rear engine

[samsung427]

Dear Santa, I am writing you this short letter to bring you up to date on my newest Christmas wishes. Please turn to 0:10 into this video and do your best to put that in my garage on Christmas morning.

P.S. I've been a good boy this year

[Petroholic88]

i was wondering how the heck do you get into that badass car until 1:15 :) man i would sell my wife for such a car :)

[SireCustoms]

@Petroholic88 lol

[TVDUDE33]

@Petroholic88 mines already sold and i just finished ordering everything i need

[richardarichter123]

drool

[67stang721]

how are the 2 motors power combined? like how does the front engine deliver power to the wheels?

[pimprock23]

is it fully built?

[sxtdude]

@sirecustoms I know that your probably really busy and I appreciate you answering my questions. I was wondering did you run one or two fuel pumps, and what size? Also, can you tell me the sizes of the radiators possibly? I want to do a build kind of like this. I cant wait for the video of how you coupled the engines and how it all works together and how you match the throttle responses. Thank you!

[DaMadBlaqDrumma]

still trying to wrap my head around how it works.

[sxtdude]

@Sirecustoms...I love the car! What size chromoly tubing did you I use. And what transmission? How is the tranny holding up to all of the power

[SireCustoms]

@sxtdude 1 3/4, 1 1/2, 1 1/4 tube Turbo 400 built by Mikes transmission in Lancaster Ca, So far so good!!

[n9athan]

you should cover the engine and make it into a track car lol
