I really love cars! Especially Japanese cars from the 90s and late 80s. If you do too, this channel is probably for you! I make project car content as well as DIY and tutorial videos. I produce automotive, mechanical, electronics, repair, and garage related content in general. I have numerous project cars. My current collection includes multiple turbo Subarus, two 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, an SR20 swap 1985 Toyota MR2, and more. I also turbocharged a Nissan 200SX SE-R for only $500! I also like some domestic cars, but have had less opportunity to play with them. 802 is the phone area code for all of Vermont and a common way to represent the state. If you are from Vermont or New England, feel free to get in touch with me and chat cars or RU-vid. I'll also be hosting car meets, so please let me know if that interests you. Thanks! I'm also very active on TikTok and Instagram so check them out! #802Garage #802GRG #JapaneseCars #ProjectCars #SubaruImpreza #SaveTheEclipse #SaveTheManuals
I have lost 2 battles with an angle grinder disc exploding. last month it was my right index finger that took the hit,, this month the left,,, note to self,, get a guard for the thing!
Great to see the v10 project again, i guess i could check out the specs on their site, but just wondering how much psi from your compressor does the jack require? i got a nice compressor so likely won't be an issue for me but i could see other guys asking about it.
Never had a single one of these fail. What's important is using decent quality crimps and the proper crimpers. Most people are not good enough at soldering to make reliable connections for automotive applications. Professional wiring outfits in general almost never use solder on vehicles unless absolutely necessary such as to boards, with extremely limited wire length, or in potted connectors..
Hello? In case you were confused, 3 metric tons would be 6,600lbs, but the typical Harbor Freight floor jack or any other 3 ton jack sold in the USA is rated for 6,000lbs or 3 imperial tons. Please don't make ridiculous accusations.
Needs wider contact area with adapters for narrow pinch points. If air bag shifts to the side due to unlevel ground, 'like an old driveway', will it shoot out and fuck everything up?
@@silicone_o-ring Nah luckily it has an internal support pillar so it would take quite a bit of force to knock it over. If you mean the base plate, it's already easily as wide as most large jack stands. No chance of that tilting over without crazy force. As always, you should never work on a car using any jack without jack stands.
@@heroesofruin27 Sort of a complicated answer. Depends on the engine, how much boost you are running, what your intake setup is like. The PCV return is likely routed into the intake pre-turbo in which case you can either retain that system or switch it out to a catch can that way you aren't sucking the oil vapor into the turbo. If you are pushing a lot of extra boost you almost definitely want a catch can because it is going to pressurize the crank case. It basically just ensures you don't get oil and vapor everywhere and that it is routed to where you want it to go instead of where you don't. The more boost you run the more vents you likely need as well like in the valve cover as you see on a bunch of high-powered cars.
@@heroesofruin27 Sure thing. Basically if you are making an NA car turbo or if you are upgrading a turbo car, a proper catch can or air oil separator is a good idea.
@@802Garage I have a 2020 Chevy Malibu Lt I put a cold air intake on it and there is no oil catch can for it should I just put the stock air system on that has a catch can on it or is it that big of a deal ?
@@heroesofruin27 I would try to retain all of the stock functions and just keep the intake as well. If there are missing provisions for tubes and hoses that go to the stock PCV system, I would try to add them back as they were placed in the stock system.
I have a 2020 charger amd i have a rear end knock and it only happens when i have people in car and when i slowly accelerate...i lift car up and it doesnt make the noise only when on ground moving...
@@nealhemminger7604 I'd check how much play there is in the shaft. Take off the intake and if you can wiggle the shaft in and out more than say half a millimeter there's likely an issue, and if you can wiggle it side to side enough for the blades to touch the housing, it's fully blown and I wouldn't drive in it more. Or if you can see damage from the blades touching the housing. If it has a lot of wobble, not just a little, but isn't touching, it may just need a rebuild. The other option is that oil is backing up somehow and the drain is not draining properly.
Sorry about that! There have been many updates on my TikTok and Instagram/Facebook. The car is almost driving now. I will have the full long form series coming to my RU-vid channel once it's driving. It has just taken a lot longer than planned!
@@findingforever8274 Hahaha thank you! I know this video is very old, but the car is almost ready to drive and I have a full long form series to release on it, so stay tuned.
Thx man, so helpful tutorial. FYI, I just didn’t have that upgraded hose that is connected to the master cylinder but the default one (hard metal). To close the screw on it, you need to push the hose down a bit hard to make sure it sits perfect and then you’ll be able to close the screw. 😊
Had a rusted greasy ball joint that would not come out. Tried this after 2 hrs of doing what I could to take off Ball joint out it and it worked. 2-3 min to find a tool and wedge it in and jack it up and down 2 times and it popped right out
The history of inventing is insane! Not only internal combustion engines, but jet engines, chemicals of all kind, computer chips? Come on! Totally wild.
@@kaleb54354 Hahaha naw. It's a Dodge 488 Magnum. The iron cousin of the 1st gen Viper engine. It's a heavy pig, but gobs of torque, and I got it for $150.
do yall know a version of this vid but for superchargers? I'm tryna bring a friend of mine into engines since he loves cars but knows nothing about how they work
@@Voidz3r I'm not sure of a really short explanation like this, but it's similar except the mechanism is driven by a belt instead of exhaust gasses. I'd make one if I had a supercharger on hand.
@@dyyl29z20 There are two types of turbo bearings, journal bearings and ball bearings. Both are lubricated by oil. Journal bearings are just metal rings that sit between the housing and shaft, and yes they float on oil, but they do tend to spin as the shaft does, it's just not imperative for function. Ball bearings are like a skateboard or wheel bearing and have a series of captive balls spinning in races. They definitely spin, but also rely on the oil to mitigate metal to metal wear.
@@joesphschramm3754 In general they should be maintenance free, but heat shielding the boots if they are near an exhaust or something hot is crucial. A rubber treatment and protectant like 303 Aerospace can also help the boots live longer.
