In this episode Marty is recycling parts from our EJ powered VW Beetle project to get Water to Air Intercooling on his MR2. Then it's time to install an ECU to try and make it all work. More problems are discovered as the car is slowly transformed from a rusted nugget into a reborn JDM weapon (using copper pipes and bends from the hardware shop) ready to defeat Moog's Moon Buggy.

Mixing Copper and Aluminum is generally pretty bad as it leads to all sorts of gunk piling up in the radiator and intercooler channels. Fair enough this is a short run project car, but you'll want to get that copper pipe swapped out if you sell the car on.

Bang up job on fabrication Marty! Just one tip, when you are bending stuff in your bench vice bend it towards the bench, the vice is MUCH stronger in that way. You are pounding into the body of the vice. Bending away from the bench you are putting all the force and pounding into only the jaw of the vice. If you watch the video you can see the vice jaw flexing a lot, and cast iron is not meant to flex. Kudos to your buddy Dave for stepping in on the wiring stuff. The MR2 is gonna smoke the moon budgie big time! Cheers from Tokyo!

Mixing copper and aluminum in the same cooling system ... that will eventually end in corrosion and failure. Maybe it will be good enough for the short term if you don't like the car and don't plan to keep it. It will be someone's problem some day.

@woodsy900 4 года назад

Not if he uses proper inhibitors

@weegaz22 4 года назад

It'll be fine if he uses a decent coolant with corrosion inhibitors and the charging system is good, if not the it'll start to do the electrolysis thing and he'll eventually have problems, but even then that'll still gonna be years down the line given how little distance MCM cars cover in mileage, and not to mention its basically a seperate system from everything else on the car, its not as if it ties into the engine coolant, so the only real issues would be the water 2 air system which you would just swap out for upgraded parts. However i do think he will run into heatsoak issues running the car on a circuit though given the rad size and core size, it would be fine for a drag car like miss daisy when its only running flat out for 13 ish secs at a time, but i reckon he's gonna heat soak it pretty quick on a track.

Add the new aftermarket oil cooler and 4 core radiator along with it having 2 different wiring harnesses and a replaced ECM from a California Highway interceptor and I'm having a ball of a time trying to even do repairs at this point. Keeping track of what parts are what and from where is a nightmare. Especially since I wasnt the one that did the swap.

About the copper lines. Make sure you use a non conductive coolant. The aluminum and copper will react with eachother. The one eroding the other. Very common issue in computer water cooling. They use specific coolant that needs refreshing every x amount of time. Not sure on the timing details

Yes. But with these dimensions, a good anti corrosive and regular changing of the coolant it will last for years before it's too gunked up.

@matutolaYT 4 года назад

thanks for the comment, I was looking if someone had allready warned him I am 99% sure that even toyota pink super long life coolant is not compatible with copper, and that's probably the less reagent coolant there is

@stereoandy77 4 года назад

I was really admiring your ingenuity with the inter-cooler plumbing. I did have a thought though. If you used aluminum rather than copper, you would be utilizing the faster dissipating heat-sink properties of the aluminum rather than the slow dissipation of the copper, effectively making your pipes under car intercoolers surrounded by a lot of "not in the engine bay" heat.

@StrangelyIronic 4 года назад

I did a similar setup with running the rad and intercooler to the frunk of a 68 Covair. Swapped my NA 4 speed model from the factor opposing 6 to a 1.9 VW TDI. Going from the 4 speed and NA flat 6 to a 5 speed and the TDI was a massive improvement in being a daily for MPG and power surprisingly, it's pushing over 210hp and well over that in torque thanks to diesel. I drive it more than I do my RWD 1UZ converted Celica and don't really miss the lack of power, definitely like having double the MPG lol.

Holy crap this car is enough to do anyone's head in. I'm expecting by the time it's done poor Marty will be sitting in the corner of the shed rocking slowly and chanting under his breath "I still like my car, i still like my car" with a dull lifeless expression on his face as he breaks out in a cold sweat and starts shivering. Hang in there Marty, this car may be giving you the wrong end of a pineapple but victory is close!!!

@weegaz22 4 года назад

I think once he drives it with some of the newer stuff bolted to it and all tuned up he'll be glad he got there in the end and will have a smile on his face when he drives it, sure its been a bit of a pig to work on, but thats just MR2's in general, the fact this has had 3 different engines in it at some point means your probably gonna have to deal with hacked wiring somewhere.

@@mightycarmods You can make the tool using a pair of vise-grip pliers, a big washer and either an exhaust clamp or an angle grinder :) just weld the washer in on one side and the exhaust clamp on the other so when you clamp the pipe it gets pressed in, or you can just grind into the pliers if you don't have an exhaust clamp on hand :)

@jackimo22 4 года назад

It cool to watch the two different approaches Marty and Moog take. They represent the yin and yang of car mods. Marty the do it ya selfa, trying everything he can himself with a mechanical mind, ready to work on his skill. Moog the less mechanically minded but complete enthusiast also and knows when he’s out of his depth for his skill set. It’s cool, because everyone will relate to one more and be inspired just the same

@atf01234 4 года назад

You can run the copper pipes inside garden hose to make a coating for it, protects it from debris and if a holder brakes it keeps the copper from rubbing and digging holes into itself, ran my old truck's transmission cooler lines this way, never had issues.

Use a bit of heat when bending that 1/4" bar. It'll save the stress on the vice mounting and you'll get tighter bends. You've got the Oxy Acetylene.

@MarkParkTech 4 года назад

Hey, you need to put a ridge on that copper line to reduce the risk of the hose coming off, gives a better grip then just clamps alone. While brass would be better, copper should serve you just fine. I'd inspect it for corrosion periodically just to be safe.
