This is one of the few channels that I never fast forward the video, because I'm afraid and miss something interesting.. Thanks Steve and Kyle for educating us..

The dyno absorber needs a " Boost fixes everything , or breaks everything " sticker .

Normally we see Steve testing an engine with a Dyno, today we see Steve test a Dyno with an Engine. Honestly though, it's not the first time.. XP

That Monte Carlo is gorgeous.

“Parts that I don’t make……..yet 😎”

I've seen Alan's Monte doing the Drag-n-Drive deal....and he's a good dude! Always seemed to be in a good mood even when things weren't going well which is a sign of a class act. Beautiful car too!

"....parts I don't make. Yet." You just gotta love how Steve drops hints and is constantly expanding the shop's abilities. He surely is always investing in the future of engine building... 😎😎🤘🤘

Steve, this video was just awesome . I was 100% engaged the entire time. I could've watched another hour of it easily . This is how you make great content to a target audience . Perfection.

Congrats to whoever won sugar momma! Man thats life changing!

That Monte Carlo is an absolute sensation! :)

Steve Morris presents: "The World's Loudest Water Heater"

Bubbles form during cavitation. As the pressure in the pump increases, those bubbles collapse in the form of an implosion - equally as violent as an explosion. The implosion causes shockwaves to travel through the liquid and hit the impeller causing mechanical damage.

That Monte Carlo is stunning! What an absolute beaut

Allan's Monte Carlo is one sweet ride with power to boot... 😊

I love the plastic ABS Y connector among all the stainless 2000 psi braided lines...lol.

It's cavitation burns you're thinking of. The supersonic implosion of the bubbles erode the surface. Happens to propellers on powerboats sometimes as well.

That new absorberDyno is going to be awesome once tuned in!! Nice!!

I’ve been subscribed for years since you were at 11k subscribers have never watched one of your videos and not learned something love the videos Steve

Cavitation will only occur in the absorber if not enough suction pressure (feed water pressure) is maintained on it. You must keep the water in a liquid state as you add HP (heat) to it. As the absorber temp rises the supply pressure needs to rise and stay above the boiling point of the fluid. The minimum flow required can be determined by...........HP x 5.5 divided by the Allowable Temp Rise of the fluid.

cavitation bubbles can produce so much energy when they collapse that sometimes it emits flashes of light, called sonoluminescence, so of course it'll erode metals.

Steve is the type of guy you want working and building your shit. It doesn't matter what he's doing his brain is just churning data and info. Him hypothesizing with the dyno guy was fun to listen to. Crazy knowledge and you can tell he just loves to figure out and know exactly how each little thing works.

STEVE what happened to GRETTA? U have to replace her in the bottom left window..😂😂😂😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉

The amount of technical information in Steve Morris videos is wonderful. I love that you always are pushing forward, trying to make everything as perfect as possible. Keep up the grind Steve, your work ethic and technical knowledge is second to none, and the end product shows exactly that.

The damage from cavitation happens when the micro bubbles collapse and act like a hammer hitting the metal.

Thank you Steve, Val , Kyle and the rest of the employees at SME for all you do for me and the rest of your customers. ❤

Fantastic stuff Steve, thanks for taking us all along.

I recognize that guy from across the pond. Since I made the switch to Your Dyno, ive had zero issues from my dynocom dyno that was broke down more than it wasn't.

Stainless steel, machined beautiful butterfly valve > Hardware store PVC Drain pipe > AN Fitting hoses. Love it!

Awesome how whilst your in reflection or assessing a scenario, an element of viewer involvement overwhelm’s my interest…🤔 Top Job Jim Bob….🛠

That Monte Carlo is a beautiful machine. Wow. Rowdy too. Big time.

Steve i love the amount of work you put in to just making the videos for every one here on your channel. thank you so much.

I'm sure that you'll get it figured out. I haven't seen you not do so yet. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

only 3008 to the wheels? phhh lol my 98 sierra would take that car on the street. 280 at the crank baby

Thanks for bringin' us !

We had that problem with water ring vacuum pumps. The end plates would get scalded from cavitation that by outgassing of the water that created bubbles that would cut into the end plates and rotors. We installed water vapor gas eliminators on the top of the end-plates, and it eliminated the problem. By allowing small amounts of air into the end-plates it passed the bubbles through and out the exhaust side of the pump.

Having been through industrial engine dyno and truck dyno issues: having on site reps is reassuring. Dynos are not without issues.

"Slow sweep" Words i never thought id hear on the morris channel. Hallelujah. Im proud of u doing all this. Max love from a long time watcher, complainer and enjoy-er of your channel.

Very nice. I see you got a new accelerator handle!!

Improving is always a plus ! Hell yeah 💪🏻

Absolutely love your channel. Whats best is all the information you share. Keep it up Thanks

The big block that was in my 68 Camaro was out of a 72 SE Monte... Very cool car. I like em. The 402 they came with was only a 2 bolt main but it took a nice beefy cam and heads, and also took a small shot on the bottle. Made wheel stands possible on a 10" Bias Ply back in the day.

Just an observation from one tradesman to another. I've been working with PVC for over 25 years. The swept tee at the bottom of the pipe is meant for drainage applications where there is no water pressure. The glue sockets are halve the depth of a schedule 40 fitting meant for pressure. That is defiantly the weakest point of your setup. PVC glue is supper strong it's aloud to cure, but that Tee is not meant for pressure, the plastic isn't as thick. I'd keep an eye out for cracks.

Fingers crossed this one doesn't snap, otherwise you'll have to stop making so much power.

I love both of you guys! I use Your Dyno stuff as well and its amazing. Such a great product with such great support!

Tuning a PID, is why we joke about that control loop as Pain Inflicting Device. We still use a Schenk dyno with electric motors to load testing of inverters. That new dyno of yours is awesome, nice work there.

Steve always on an adventure to improve everything!😄👍

Thats a beautiful Monte Carlo

Thanks Steve great content

The digital remote hanging scale on the torque arm is cool.

Super sweet monte carlo! I've had a 76, 79 and an 84. Always loved the 70-72.

That's awesome 👌 good luck on your dyno...keep living the dream ✨️

That monte is my literal dream car, colours and everything, 3000hp just make it that much better

The brake is just a simple pump. It will only boil the water if there isn't enough pressure on the water to kept it in the fluid state. Nothing wrong with the water getting hot (very hot) if enough pressure is maintained on the fluid to keep it in a fluid state (no boiling) so long as the temp is within the limits of the absorber. Refer to a publication called 'Cameron Hydraulics' to understand the pressure / tempreture curve required to keep the water in a liquid state at any tempreture or pressure.

Awesome Thanks for sharing, love it can't wait to see more.

Thanks for showing us

Its hard to have a single dyno cover a huge power range. An eddy current large enough to absorb that kind of power would be huge, and it would have so much inertia start ups and shut downs would be brutal. And as you can see, a water brake designed to absorb several thousand horsepower, does not flow enough water to stay cool with engines that create "low" torque. You will know when the water in the absorber turns to steam... steam doesnt hold back any power... instant rev limiter. Also, bi-directional dynos are very commonplace in automotive engine development. First shift runs the engine on one side, second shift runs the engine on the other side... minimal downtime. Andddd, Alan's car is amazing!

Gorgeous car!

Alan's Monte Is an absolute monster And super super clean I'd hate to say what my 1st car was .....a 500 dollar RX3 with a rotary Yeah I beat it like a rented mule

Nothing is ever simple there’s always something that makes u scratch your head

That Monte is one of the nicest, cleanest cars I had ever seen!

I'm all about this particular segment! KUDO'S Steve! Respectfully, Seth

Super techie video. Loved it.

Great content thanks for sharing

So cool! Was anyone watching upstairs where the tank & pumps are to see what’s going on? It doesn’t seem like it’s getting enough supply, which I know you have huge tanks & pumps? Also what was the RPM #? Next to the load dial doing? Big RPM dial said 7500, number next to load percentage dial said 8355? We had issues with an old superflow years back! We had water restrictions because of the iron in the water up here! We used some clear lines to find issues! Good luck man! You don’t need anymore issues! It was nice to see it run 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻! You sure put a whoopin on the ol mule 🫏🫏🫏🫏😜😜😜😜! Making Steam 😜😜😜😜!

We call the dyno mule a master. It’s the good unit or control. I run and maintain a transmission dyno

Super cool seeing the inside details of what it takes to be the best!! We know it’s time and money, first!!! But always enjoy see the details. Great video as always!!! From SME. My local hero!!

Very interesting dyno information. Alan's Monte Carlo is " perfection " .! Many thanks.

When a dude from Norway shows up, you know your machine is about to see it's peak.

That Monte Carlo is beautiful ❤❤

SME can now dyno food grade motors with their new unit, LOL! Those valves look like ones we used while I worked at a breakfast bar manufacturing plant.

Love my your dyno stuff, works great on my 902 dyno, Question though, why not use the servo valve on the outlet side, after plumbing in adequate volume capacity, and put a variable static valve on the intake side to control the servo percentage on starting the sweep, at say 70-90%, thus keeping water pressure in the brake, and maybe keep the cavitation down a little. Just a thought. Jostien is a great guy, his customer service is second to none. Enjoy your channel, I don't know how you don't burn yourself out...lol!!

Wow that monte is very very nice😮

Wow man that Monte Carlo is so bad arse!! Its one of my all time favorite Cars next to Camaro and Corvette C2 and C3

He is the man! Set up my Dyno ect and helped me threw all the crap

love the content steve keep it up hopefully soon i can buy a built motor from you!

The pitting that Steve is talking about is when micro bubbles form on the vanes, and when they collapse they create an ultrasonic shockwave that hits the metal so hard it begins to erode

Big diesel engines have specific coolant to combat the "cavitation" that your explaining. It will actually erode the liners from the vibration and explosion inside the cylinder and create these bubbles.

I ❤ the northen Norwegian accent.

Really gorgeous car, Alan. Very well done👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the education Steve! Would be cool to add a Mopar Pistol Grip shifter knob to your throttle handle.

Steve this video was very interesting and i learned a few things. Thank you sir keep on keeping on. Lol

Nice video ! I am thinkin you are thinking about Cavitation Erosion ! Most common on Cummins engines without proper coolant !

Love that Monte! Beautiful car

Please put the Greta sticker back on the dyno window. Makes me laugh every time I see it. 😂

Darn.. I did not get a call about sugar momma.. really wanted to have it

I have literature from the early 70s where Clayton recommended buying an absorber with dual inputs so in the future when engines got even more powerful you could add another absorber to handle the power. They are rated 2500ftlbs individual or 5000ft-lbs in tandem. They are awesome for steady state because they used closed water in the absorbers so the torque load can be held constant. They also use air pressure thru the vent to add dyno load as it is easier to do 1% increase in torque with air than trying to get an ounce or 2 of water into the brake

My kind of badass ride ❤👌🔥🇺🇸💪🏼have a great Friday guy's

Alan’s car is so dang good! I love that thing, so clean, so put together, and a beast, ridiculously beautiful car! What if you chilled the absorber? Like an MRI machine?

I've loved that green MC since the first time I've seen it. 😍

Where do they even run a SMX in England? I feel like that engine is too big to fit down the streets there by itself 🤣

Just got my new shirt! Man these are nice!

i was watching a video about the USS New Jersey they explained the cavitation damage on the propellers they said when the bubbles pop near on the prop they damage the props

That Monte is sweet, when I was a kid or neighbor had a 72 with a sweet 427, always wanted one..

You and cleetus drop at the same time. You win this one. No way I can pass up a video on the billet water brake!

I would try to experiment with ventilation pressure. Perhaps high air flow instead of ventilation creates cavitation and airing. I'm very interested in the end result. Steve, please make an episode in which you fix the problem

I love that Monte Carlo

God you never see them, but one of my all time favorite Chevy's, the 70 or 72 Monte Carlo(negative on the 71, 72 is favorite appearance wise, even though it couldn't be had with the 4spd)....a guy down the street from me when I was 13 through 17 had a gorgeous dark green, black vinyl roof, black cloth bucket, 71 Monte Carlo with the 396 Big Block ("400/402" still the damn 396 🙄😤) with a 4spd and rallies....it looked so good, I loved that thing, even if it wasn't a 72 😅

The steam bubbles collapsing (imploding) generate BIG localized pressure spikes (This is the principle ulltrasonic cleaners use). Here they are much stronger, and do damage, similar to what detonation does to pistons.

Slow the water down so it has time to absorb the heat. Fast water or pressured water cools less than slower, Hence thermostats the other way !

A nice easy 3000hp😂😂 Beautiful car👊🏼
