No way the thin walls and welds of those exhaust manifolds will support the weight and vibration of the turbos overtime. The turbos need to have a bracket that are mounted directly to the motor so that the exhaust isn’t supporting the weight.
I was hoping to see a titanium exhaust then i see this and then i was like ah ok i forgot that im watching b is for build and yes I don't think taht the pipes will support the wight of the turbos and i hope that u re-do it in titanium it will be expensive bet just the color wort it let's not talk about the sound when the titanium get hot
Yea.... that setup looks wrong and inefficient.... just try and turn those turbos around, from an engineering stand point you save exhaust piping and you don't have the amount of heat collected near the fuel tanks... just my opinion, thanks for the great content car does look amazing regardless of turbo positions!
@@shona5512 i knew when i hit enter someone on ze internet would turn this comment like this. Its ok to compliment someone without it beeing a double meaning to someone else.
Oscar is a great fab guy. That turbo placement is awful though, tacky to the extreme. Keep those puppies in the engine bay and preserve the body lines!
Despite all the comments on the last video Chris just HAD to do it his way. I get it, but damn the first half of this episode was frustrating to watch. Way to go Oscar! Making the impossible possible! Just goes to show if there's a enough will there's a way. And at least the exhaust isn't going directly over all the cooling systems as Chris had planned. Oh and all the vents in the world won't keep this thing cool if you don't put an emphasis on directing the air where it needs to go. Laminar flow pulls the heat away from the engine, turbulent air...not so much.
Why have the turbos stick out? Look like there is plenty of room to mount them lower. Like the build so far but the not digging the turbo location height.
Because it’s a SEMA build, the car is basicly a calling card/showpiece/trailer queen. He said he was gonna drive it, but stuff will break really quick. But offcourse this will generate more content for his YT channel, “my hurrican is broke!” Also blame Cleetus for this bullshit trend.
I just said the same thing to someone, there's like zero point in even doing it the way he's doing it atm, there are countless of issues with it, but i guess he's just going for ''looks'', fair enough, it's his build.
I think using the circular vent in the rear quarter panel, below what i guess would've been a quarter wing window on a stock body would be a awesome placement, lower in the engine bay and you could see the turbo wheels through them.... anyways my .02
I was kinda hoping he would keep them in the bay, face them forward, and custom fab vents/funnels to the turbo inlets. I get the kind of style he wants, but atleast have them facing the cold air instead of backwards
Tom Jones that was my reaction too. I wonder how airflow dynamics will affect the turbos bringing in air. It seems like the air flowing off the roof and going over the turbos would starve the turbos for air.
@@Jrtowns1 Nah, just not ideal and his worry of dirt in the turbos isn't really founded since a ton of guys run unfiltered turbos underhood with no issues.
At that point he might as well turn the turbos around which would the. Defeat the purpose of his explanation. Also don't forget the style of this build
Check out Peter Bjorck's video he uploaded today (8/15/2019). Zyrus LP1200 Lamborghini built in Norway! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wvHqKMCqo2I.html
So what does Oscar get out of this? Does he paid? Love hear from the guys who actually do most of the work ie boosted Bois, Cleetus etc all their teams actually feel like part of the team... Just saying
I don't understand why the turbos are getting mounted so high. Just my personal opinion but I don't think I would like it. I'm going wait until it's finished though.
Same. I know he's going for the first time never done before wow factor but the traditional modded Lamborghini turbo mounting spot is already such sexy a setup. For me to dig this setup he needs to add a shit load of pie cuts.
@@hinds90 - It all depends on the metal. U should be careful with cast, but stainless and mild steel can take that. Good rule of thumb though, is to take the weight off the manifolds, as the weight of the turbo can lead to cracking.
Mhm, I don’t own a LS Lamborghini but I don’t feel the turbo placement I believe to the side much lower will look way sweeter.. only just an option but other then that I’m loving this build.
Just use the stock Huracan scoops on the sides, they are right there! All they need is an air box behind them big enough to fit the filters in. And a screen/grill to keep the bugs and gravel out.
You're not gonna get anywhere close to as much air as you think in the engine bay. The entire back will be a low pressure zone when you are moving. Plus, you will put filters on your turbo intakes (it would be dumb not to for 2-3 HP cost vs the chance to destroy your turbo AND feed shrapnel in your intake)...
HMan I don’t think that’s a huge concern though. If this were an NA build maybe, but forced induction doesn’t care about that as much. It might turn into a cooling issue, but we’ll have to wait and see for that.
@@bigjaydogg3384 Turbos are pressure amplifiers. If you have low intake pressure to begin with, there's only so much boost the turbo can produce. It's much more of an issue than in a NA setup. But the main issue will be cooling. We'll see how the radiator and fan setup goes...
I’d prefer the turbos being lower and farther back in the hatch with the exhaust coming out of the hatch like the McLaren 600LT. Nevertheless, still digging this badass build and the exhaust setup you’re going for
Solution to turbo issue: Mount under the hatch through the rear quarter intake behind doors. More air coming straight to turbo intake, can be filtered, easier, and much cleaner looking
B is for Bloopers in this episode. But really, that turbo placement is the textbook definition of form over function, looks cool on a drawing board but everything else about is at a disadvantage compared to a more simple placement behind the engine near the transaxle, I hope your oiling system can handle them sky high snails.
people have known for a long time that the air flow above your car sucks, that's why later ford rs200s had way bigger air catches on their roofs. this doesn't seem well optimized at all.
1. Agree 2. Agree 3. He will need insulation between the pipe and the headers On another note he will have to build alot of mounts that go from the chassis onto the pipes/turbos to prevent it from rattling apart. And just a thought about having those turbos that high, he will need a pretty significant oil pump to reach that high. Therotically it needs to pump out 2x 1,4 psi (1 meter from pump to turbo) to be able to reach them. And about the turbos facing that way, i'm pretty sure they will choke, especially at higher speeds, make a scoop of some sort to guide the air into them, or turn them around. Pretty much right now, this build is alot more form over function...
@@thebigbozzy Engines have insane sucking power, plus cars that have ducts, have them because without them there would be little flowing air going there. these will be exposed to a ton of air, even if it seems backwards. But if he somehow still has problems he can easily modify the hatch to trap air near the turbos while still having them exposed.
@@bmbmunoz2 Technically there's no such thing as "sucking power". Engines create a low pressure zone in the intake and the atmospheric pressure outside the intake will want to push air into the intake to reach a state of equilibrium because physics. The problem here is that there's already going to be a low pressure zone by the turbo inlets caused from the high velocity air rushing past them. And then trying to get the air to essentially make a sharp 180deg turn at high speed into the turbo inlet is asking it a lot (without any sort of duct to force the air in that direction).
I suspect that you are going to starvethe turbos mounting them backwards like that. By starve I mean the aero dynamics is going to pull air over and past the torbo inlets. Its going to be like trying to get the last bit of soft drink out of a cup with ice using a straw...gurgle, gurgle. Just my opinion but im predicting it anyway because it just makes sense to me. Guess we'll see.
if you've ever put you hand over a throttle body as someone slightly revs the engine you will realize how much sucking power engines have, it'll be fine. plus I don't think he will be going fast enough on the streets for any sort of aerodynamics to ever matter.
😂 it's called forced induction for a reason. No aerodynamics needed. Turbos spool at over 100000rpm which means they can suck air even if you drive 300mph in a hurricane
Such a brilliant built, I am so impressed how you overcame all the problems down the road so far. congrats guys. Oscar is a key person to the team indeed
@@Sotdjuret After a while... and Ruby hasn't broken yet, and those are hella janky, longer and done by Cleetus himself, who is a (self described) horrible welder. These aren't perfect, and maybe in time they will break, but they will last for a while, and he will learn from how they perform. Just my thoughts though... Who knows.
He should’ve done a roof scoop with a filter built inside so he could get that maximum air flow 👌 (plz like so he could see this and possibly use this idea)
U should flip the turbos to help with air Flow and Make them shoot from the top like porche 918 spyder style, that will help with both the look's and efficiency.
I really do like what your building here because you're thinking out all the plans yourself and modifying them like you like them. Thats soo what i wanna do one day
i agree. Its a trendy look right now, but i think you will get tierd of it and change it after a while. And it gona look like tractor even with all the other parts in place.
Chris, Kyle, and Oscar + Chelsea. I like how you are using first time methods on this build. I see that Harbour Freight is your friend. I will keep watching until the end of this build. Good luck, keep a positive attitude.
He is the expert metal fabricator in the group. For safety one would hope he does the Majority of the metal work 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ What's wrong with yall 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
They could have mounted them over the transmission and had them poke out near the base of the hatch. Would have looked much better and easier to support them.
well maybe its coz i don't know anything about the technical bits, but these turbos look SICK where they are. killer design over all. My man's living his dream, and building a god damn supercar out of a burnt shell, respect the hustle!
@@bradgotch logically speaking his turbo placement is awful, if he flips them, and adds an air filter it would perform better and still look good, also less hot air in the engine bay
Lmfao. You cant be serious. That's like me saying, " Hey boss I did a great job this year..think you can toss me 50k for my hard work? I'll continue to work for you though." Be realistic man. A build isn't cheap. A build giveaway isn't something you do. Unless you want to be B is for BROKE!
I don’t get why everyone doesn’t like the look but please please please don’t run it without filters. It will all be fun and games until your crazy high reving engine sucks in a rock crushing the turbo and blasting out half your cylinders.... also please do something about that close distance between exhausts and gaskets.... something will melt or fail Also the fact that they are at the back, *behind* the car the turbos will not get enough air out of the low pressure zone, so you’ll lose a lot of power. So like some recommended a roof scoop might be needed
Grinding on the header while mounted to the engine will put metal into the exhaust ports. When you attach the turbos and start the car for the first time, it will eat all those metal grindings. Just make sure to clean it out first.
Wouldn’t having the turbos backwards outside of the engine bay create a vacuum on the intake side once you reach any kind of speed with the air going around the turbo?
That’s what I was thinking cause theoretically it would be fine sitting there but at speed it would pull the air behind the turbo out and cause a vacuum and kill that beautiful piece of engine and I don’t think anyone wants that
@@adamhartman4312 while I agree with the orinentation of the turbos being odd, I'm not sure I understand your thought process on killing an engine because of a lack of air. It will certainly suffer performance wise.
Hey Oscar, Keep on working while I play on my phone and laptop. I wouldn't let Chris work on a kids tricycle. Oscar and the dude that built the 240 actually have skills.
@@Sir.VicsMasher I prefer the Zonda over the Huayra, the Zonda R specifically, but who knows what the next build will bring! The only thing I see in this build is a massive amount of experience that these guys are gaining!
Amazing job, love your channel. Being a diy mechanic and also video editor I can imagine how much effort is needed to release just 1 episode. Also i know that things are not going as smooth behind the scenes so RESPECT!
Im not gonna be negative like everybody else but you definitely need to make some braces for the manifolds as they almost definitely will crack with the heat and weight etc on top of them. I love the build though I think it looks awesome and will be an amazing car when its done! 👌🏽
@@macheifach Why give him heat for his opinion? Why post at all? I don't like the turbos sticking out either. The cyberpunk look was fine without turbos sticking out. You voiced your opinion, which was fine, but responded with "good thing, not your build then." Why push angst any further?
believe me some ppl will play it if it werent that way they wouldnt advertise, so ST*U your comment isnt helpfull to the channel and any youtuber wanting to avoid youtube's stupid system
Chris! That turbo placement looks frickin' sick! Don't mind the haters, this is Your SEMA build and You can build it the way you want it! Keep working hard so we all can see the end result in SEMA, Thanks!!
The valve cover looks too close to the manifold. So maybe a heatshield+ wrap on the manifold would help dramaticaly. Also i would turn the turbos so they suck fresh air and install mesh to protect the turbos
