Nitrous Chainsaw Video: This Thing Is Called The Hulk And It Cuts Logs Like Butter


Nitrous Chainsaw Video: This Thing Is Called The Hulk And It Cuts Logs Like Butter

There is a vast world of chainsaw enthusiasts out there. Not just enthusiasts but guys and girls who compete with chainsaws at logging/lumberjack contests on the local, regional, and national level. That means there has to be a level of hot rodder in there who is delivering the most horsepower and speed for his customers, right? Oh yes, that is right.

The John’s Custom Saws channel on YouTube is all about showing the porting work and methods used to create more powerful chainsaws both for fun use and for competition. That’s stuff is all interesting, but this nitrous saw is completely off the wall. He’s modified the head, the piston, and Lord knows whatever else to get this to work without blowing up (every time, he has killed one of to early versions) but it is ungodly bad ass when fired up and working. The carb has been enlarged to go along with the rest of the modifications as this thing has a little tank on the handle and a nitrous nozzle aimed right down the throat of the tiny volute directing air into the carb.

It sounds wacky to say that a chainsaw sounds possessed but when he opens this thing up and plunges it through a log, it sounds possessed. Watch and listen!

      Allowing more air in the cylinder the cold air is thinner so it can take in a lot more cylinder pressure

        Cold air is denser allowing more in allowing for a more complete burn of the fuel. And you can add more power with a dry shot by turning the carb mixture fatter so it also has more fuel to burn. Kinda the back yard shade tree way of a wet shot but then if the nos isn’t activated the chainsaw runs fat thankfully 2 stroke you don’t have to worry about cylinder wash down as much because the oil is in the fuel.

      The NOS saws are custom made to order and they are pretty expensive and can only make 3 or 4 cuts then they have to be shut down… this particular NOS saw is definitely not for sale but they start at about 3k and then literally the sky is the limit… turbine engines/bike saws (2 stroke dirt bike engine on a custom frame)…. hybrid saws… etc… the wait times are very long tho that is just the nature of the beast… I am booked out 8 months or more depending on the saw.

      Check out my channel man… I cut thru a green 21 inch maple very quickly… the chain in this video was specially made for the saw and is not for hardwood… it would tear the cutters off

        I really appreciate the article guys… very well done and its so incredible to see this saw all over the internet… I started this project on a whim and its been a wild ride to say the least… a video of me blowing up a saw (and I literally mean BLOWING UP) has 7 million views alone… I now have 3 NOS saws and the latest is still a work in progress but its a 122cc Stihl 084 and will be running a wet shot… everyone says its not a good idea but they said the same thing when I built the Hulk so I guess we will find out… love the website btw and I had no idea this was posted so I just wanted to say thanks!!!
