MERCH ► sammit.net FOLLOW ME ► @sammit01 I build a forged HKS SR20 capable of 500+ HP at Yashio Factory for my S15 Silvia. This is a massive accomplishment for me as it's the first time I have built an entire engine myself!
Every time I see an engine building video, I think about the engineers who designed the engine and all the math and calculations they had to do to get it right.
He's got the spirit and not to forget, the correct woman. He decided correctly when he moved to Japan and with his dream and met May. Maybe I don't know enough about this love story, but I think it also belongs to his history. I would love to here more about this, if you like to. Not a must, just a plus ;) I follow your channel for a few years now (frequently) and I just start to put the puzzles together. I guess these rare and awesome cars, driving, drifting and building these things are in first priority of your channel, but I would also appreciate the story behind the scenes. I'm not finding the right words at the moment, but I think you all know what I mean. A story about May and the history of you two maybe would be nice for some videos. Also some more about yourself, May's family and Yashio Factory's history would be and idea. Cheers from Germany. Tristan ;)
@@tristanrs1398 He did a video about why he came to Japan where he explains a lot of things. I'm pretty sure he met his wife through a church group when traveling to japan where they became friends and eventually became a couple.
@@tristanrs1398 he has explained how he met Mayumi in previous videos. Also, not everyone is comfortable sharing their personal life on social media due to what is happening right now.
I just can’t get over how much okachan seems like a father to Sam he pretty much does everything with him like if Sam was his own son. This is why okachan is my role model
Okachan is such a great humble man love it everytime he makes a appearance in videos. And the fact that he's always down to help sammit in any situation. Keep up all the great content.
Separation is in the preparation...my Brother 42 years ago built his straight six in his '63 Biscayne for the first time! I got to help and it was a great experience...my Dad checked the work, but it was a stout build for the time and it had a decent body from a stellar platform in those 2 dr, '63 Chevys...
realy infomative video for who is going to build a engine for the 1st time ... and for me wacthing this is realy remind me alot of things about to rebuild the proper engine 👍🏻
not sure if okachan knows about the “dual guide” mod. Its where you grind a lil bit of the rocker arm that sits on the flat shim side to allow for another guided shim so each rocker arm now uses 2x guide instead of the flawed factory design of 1x guide shim + 1x flat shim. This should give a little more aid in keeping a shim from getting spit and a rocker arm from coming off until the owner decides to shell out the $$$ and put a VE vvl head on and just totally eliminate the rocker arm issue. So anyway to any readers seeing this, just make note to use a same size guided shim that would be replacing the flat shim that you are changing out and, this is so you will retain your lash. Have a good one and enjoy your rwd sr20s 👌👌👌
congrats ! first engine build is so nerve racking and exciting at the same time, it’s a different feeling. really good video and looking forward to more content !
Sam you’re the reason I want to get into drifting and wanting to get into cars. Don’t get me wrong it always interests me my whole life but you’re the reason I’m actually gonna do it
Great video, Sam what an exciting video to watch you assemble your first engine at Yoshio Factory. Loved it, I happily watched every single second! Arigato! Joshy San.
My favorite videos on your channel! More Okachan content please! Also, I was always under the impression that the oil pump cover had to be milled down with the head whenever putting on a new one cover, so that the headgasket sits perfectly flat against both the cover and the block.
A VE head would have been a nice touch no need to worry about those rocker arms popping off then. Seriously reminded me of the time I blew my sr16ve N1 engine and rebuilt it as an sr20ve. Excellent work.
Ive been using the DTI (micrometer) to set up workpieces in lathes at my college and im fairly sure the scale is 0.1 of a mm but its shown on the dial as (10) so the readings you had were out by 0.01 as you had 0.41 and 0.40
