We Tried to Build the World’s Smallest V8

We thought it would be fun to build the world’s smallest gas-powered V8 engine. We were wrong.

Huge thanks to our friend Matt from Warped Perception for helping us out on this one. Make sure to watch his video on this horrible engine.

Also, huge thanks to Pacific Coast Hobbies for the countless hours spent troubleshooting this with us.

Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

These things are tough, a real pain in the a**, sounds like a timing issue. But my anxiety is at 500% just watching you guys trying to get it started... I have small engine PTSD rn.

Funny how a tiny V8 ended up being Donut's kryptonite.

Johny Q90 is your man. He not only got them running but actually figured out the spark plugs and has built every single Toyan engine.

Not going to lie I’m a mechanic my self and to see 8 grown man in a circle trying to start an engine the size of a mason jar and genuinely having a hard time makes me proud to be a mechanic the love for this art is much more then just a job ! If you enjoy it you understand! And I’m not down sizing the frustration cause the same things can Happen with big engines… kindaaa 😂 looking forward to seeing you guys succeed!!

Honestly, Nolan is such a gem for handling all these complex situations at work on camera and still being pleasant.

Nolan's suffering can no longer be contained within just one video anymore.

“If there’s one thing we can do here at donut, it’s kinda solve problems”
You have no idea how much I felt that one 😂

10 months boys, I’m not expecting the impossible but we want to see you re-engage a difficult problem and overcome it together.

Teach them young boys what struggle really looks like.

I love watching these engines build on JohnnyQ90 and now it’s cool to see them on donut

[troyguererro]

You should call johnnyQ90. He has a collection of these engines. He even custom made parts for his RC cars. Talented AF.

I love how the graphic artist created the orientation of the spark plugs at the 6:58 mark.

[philcarrizzi]

I think it was really bold of you to go ahead and post a video of you failing at some thing you worked really hard on. I like it. It feels real.

[onesadtech]

I really thought JohnnyQ90 was gonna be the nuclear option, both times. 😂 Would be cool to see him come help the boys.

[justinlawlor]

Johnnyq90 put this in a car and built a supercharger for it that worked, shout out to Johnnyq90

[AzyTabz]

Shoutout to Nolan for all the amazing work he had done recently!
I'm so proud of him

[firstfromabove]

"I swear we WILL make another video, we WILL get this running."

Well THAT was a lie lmao

[lukewelte]

Imagine the spark plugs being upside down @ 6:57

[rustybros]

I love watching Donut's content cause 80% of their content is the struggle they face. Ain't like these other content creators that is all easy fix and smooth sailing.

[FlockerLP]

Can't wait for this to turn into a 10 episode series tbh

[Baeviss]

I’m actually waiting on Part 2 of this! Haha. Loved this!
