As a self taught beginner tuner, these are my favorite videos. Also, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, as a teacher, Jimmy is pretty damn good at explaining concepts without diluting the meaning. A+ job sir.
Um, it's an emissions thing like Nissan. The secondary ignition fires on the exhaust stroke to ignite any unburnt fuel. It's nothing to do with the actual igniting of the power stroke. You would have to set the secondary ignition just advanced of the primary to hurt the piston or ring Lans. Doing that would be about as dumb as thinking deleting the secondary system for smart coils could damage the pistons.
So stoked to see the Porsche running again! Also...Jimmy please get Spoon some proper fab tables. Look into Langmuir tables, super nice for the money. It will change things big time for you guys!!!
I learned this summer. I always heard that before but I really learned it by halfway through the process. Guess I’ll just have to go back and redo the front of the MR2T. I have plenty of leftover paint and supplies.
@@negativeindustrial I learnt from a old gentleman that had 40 plus year's in the field, and he stressed, perfection is in the prep... and that applied to all painting, house's, car's, bike's it didn't matter. In 3 years I was running the company with 20+ crew under me and learned a great deal about painting.
Great video with air cooled Porsche content. Air cooled Porsches usually have twin spark when they are set up with higher compression. The high comp piston design reduces the efficiency of a single spark which can’t produce a flame front that bridges the hump in the piston top. The second spark below solves the problem.
I think we need a side quest video with rjay a day in the working life of rjay. We no what everyone else does and rjay is a key member and original og let’s see his day in the oaks garage 😊
JIMMY been needing a breakdown wiring video from someone who I can actually understand when they are putting it into words thank you for the ever so detailed description!!!!!
You can problems with knocking when removing the secondary coils. Sometimes manufacterer add these to compensate for inefficient combustion chambers (they value flow and Power over knock potential). It will be very interesting to see the results of turning them off. Learned that Fromm a professor at our university who designed engines for 20 years
Events and big videos are fun but honestly the thing that makes this channel my favorite is the in depth build videos. As much as Adam LZs videos are crazy good, I miss the older days of him wrenching in the garage doing stuff I could take inspiration from working at home myself. Keep up the great work!
Great to see your process. I usually use ropes of different sizes to lay out the routing and then go into my CAD-cave and fiddle around for a while before I start building on the drawings I made
Ive been following Jimmy Oakes for about 5 years now since he appeared on the Hoonigan channel helping them build a harness for one of their Garage Garage build series. The Oakes garage has came along way in 5 years. Keep grinding homie your channel is always entertaining
You're probably right because you've wired that ecu before. But from an automation standpoint you explained digital inputs kinda weird. It's basically an on off status. Not a scaled voltage input like analogs
Hopefully spoon doesn’t read this , but you should down the line create an episode surprising him with a new work station. I think it would a great episode , just an idea 🙂
My first full time job was at a Train factory/assembly plant. First department I was in was making the Engine Harnesses, the chassis heli like 20 different "looms" each being 2-3" thick and hundreds of pounds total. I also got to pin cannon plugs of 60+ pins 😂😂😂 really enjoyed this video
I started following during the hoonigan cameo. Dude made light work of wiring the sh!tcar. It seemed like everyone wanted to engine swap but nobody wanted to wire the darn thing. Jimmy seemed to always make problem solving entertaining. This is the way
Please , always go in depth like this in wiring , as well as content I get too learn a lot and continue too use this sort of info in my build 😅👍🏼 top video as always 👌🏼👌🏼
Great video, I am a prototype wireman, so I used to wire for a living, so I can say you are doing a great job, But please buy a real heatgun, they are cheap, Also I know you upgraded the charging system, is that wire the correct size for the max current ? Great Idea on the coil Dyno test video, I remember in the 1980 that Alfa did 2x plugs a cylinder, I don't know if it helped, I may well have done as the fuel system was not as good back then, Good luck Keep them coming, Dave from the UK
So excited to see Porsche content again. Have you considered converting to ethrottle? You could remove the idle control valve, which would simplify the engine bay and remove the physical cable that runs from the pedal to the engine.
I just enjoy the VIBE from Jimmy and his gang I look forward to every upload I've only been watching for about a month but I'm catching up on all the past vids but quickly becoming my favorite channel on YT. Plus the cars r fly af
Yo you need to check out the woven/braided wrap around loom that several companies sell. You can build your harness, then put the loom on and use the tesa tape to secure it and for any of the intersections where wires exit the harness. heck even Holley makes a fancy flame retardant version
Love the Porsche update. It’s coming together so quickly it’s going to be amazing and spoon your car is looking so sick. That cage is so sweet everybody keep up the great work you guys rock.
BLESS YOU RJ! saw some weird tiktok that only americans says something when others sneezes and as an example he used sweden WHICH IS SO WRONG! im swedish and IM THE ONLY ONE SAYING SOMETING!!! xD
Copped my Rx7 Tee soon as it dropped. First time ordering merch from anybody 😂 it goes hard tho so worth paying the shipping to the uk 🇬🇧 keep smashing it Jimmy! 👊🏼
I feel what RJ is going thorough. So much dust and tire lol I used my tundra to tow cars off for final bout and it’s absolutely covered in dust and tire. Lol
Watching you wrapping that harness took me back to my apprentice days when I had to build a prototype harness for a kit car on a 8 ft by 6 ft board with markerpen outlines of the whole electrical system. We had to use the old school looming cord and no plugs, all ring, spade, blade and male and female terminals. A 1 day test and it had to be a one piece harness all working without ever seeing the car. That was the first and last day I've ever used looming cord as I'm an industrial electrician and everything is in/on cabe tray, trunking, conduit or hidden behind panels. Love your work but it's no Rob Dahm milspec harness LOL
James you are such a better teacher than any of my professors, most of whom make well into the 6 figures. I hate wiring, but these videos always give me short burst of motivation to go rewire my car 😂
the collab is awesome, i bought a hoodie and both banners and shit you not 25 minutes later i got emailed a disocunt code for them lol, glad to see some Porsche content again
