We introduce the Toretto Charger Build to the channel. The boys head over to Hawaii Racing and talk with the owner, Joe, and get a breakdown on the monster drivetrain going into this build. Hawaii Racing : hawaii-racing.e...
THIS is going to be an awesome build, literally dream car build, and the guy you spoke to about engine's, man what a gem for the engine building community, I could listen to him talk motor all day.
We want to see NEW REMAKED VIDEO of the final race from the "The Fast And The Furious" with your projects after both projects are done. Craig Lieberman behind the wheel of Toyota Supra and Daryl behind the wheel of the Charger :) That's going to be awesome !!! Can't wait to see that :) Fast fan from Serbia/Europe :)
Guys they didn't use the winters shifter or 9inch Ford re until the 4th part! The first film used b&m shifter and stock re. Also chose the correct bug catcher cause it's didn't from the 1st then in the 4th they changed it all up
The actual car had a Dana 60.. It's the strongest diff to hold up to those 440's and Hemi's. And you're absolutely right, It did in fact have a B&M Mega shifter. T handle. The scoop was a Enderle Buzzard catcher and a Enderle 3" injector spacer under the scoop. No nitrous was ever on the Charger.. it simply didn't need it. The engine actually isn't even a 528.. that's a big block Hemi that was used in the 4th film. The original movie was a built 392 Hemi.. just like the Tri power one in this vid hiding behind those other engine's. The 392 Hemi was bored and stroked to 445 cubic inches.
I'm pumped you were able to find a decent shape one. I really contemplated for a few days if I wanted to try and see if you wanted mine. Unfortunately, I'm over $65,000 into my build and still have more to go. I even started my RU-vid channel solely to document the build! I just couldn't get to a place mentally to punt it after I've put so much work into mine. Even better you were able to find a "U" code and that you can do it some justice with some quality go fast parts. Mine, also a U code has a 440 with a 8-71 roots blower. You guys are going to be light years ahead with the budget I'm sure you guys can throw at this. This might be the the video series I'm most excited for to date! Heres a few things that I did to help with the issues you guys may be having. Tanks inc GPA-9 in tank pump to give me plenty of fuel (in the stock tank) 1200hp Dual FiTech US Car tools bracing level 2 (no mini-tub) Dana 60 with a 3.54 suregrip Wilwood Big brake kit (front and rear) QA1 level 3 handling (tubular front end K member, control arms, shocks) Larger torsion bars (1.06?") from P-S-T Borgeson Power Steering This list goes on.... a lot Also, the cragers that were probably used back them are no longer made new in a custom offset. You can buy them still in the 8" width, which wont be enough. I bought some american torque thrust II's in a 10.5" backspace to get a wide tire for the rear, and a 9" for the front.
THANK YOU for taking the time to share your story. You have an awesome build! Glad you decided to keep moving forward with it. Great information on the issues you encountered...thanks for the breakdown. Bummer to hear about the Cragers, ugh :( We have a shop that can re-barrel wheels (even 1-piece) for back spacing, so maybe there's a solution. We'll see. Good to have you here!
Don't have to worry about that because they wasn't Cragar's. They're American Racing Daisy 200's. And they're available in numerous sizes up to 15" wide. But originally they were 15x10's. Easy peasy.. Jegs and Summit sell them all day long. What is hard to find is the original Mickey Thompson ET Streets.. street slicks. They don't make the old design anymore but the new design will work.
Here's a little known fact - Chuck Taylor Racing Engines built the 392 Hemi that was in the original garage scene that's so iconic. The engine ran on alcohol and was manual fuel injected. If you're curious contact them. I talked to Chuck Taylor back in about 2012 or so right before he passed away.
My uncle told me that the new modern paint does not go good with the lead in the cars that you use to fill it In it can cause bubbles where you filled it in he has a old 32 Ford that is chopped and channeled and it happened to that car he has about 13 cars and that’s the only one with lead filled in and the only one with some bubbles that happened over time around 10 years after was painted love the channel and can’t wait to see this and the Supra done
This car exactly this car did change mz life forever, this car is the reason I became a car guy, and all time muscle car fan, and now I'm owning a 69 Charger, and hope someday to get a second one to do a replica, and I also did drive one of the Chargers used for Fast 7 🤩
I always loved the OG Toretto Charger. By far the coolest Charger of all the franchise. I've always been into Japanese cars, but when i saw that Charger fire up in Dom's driveway, i instantly fell in love with it.
In the movie the one charger that was the hard to come by that was filmed was the Daytona body with flush rear window and grill. ( in the bike chase ). When done you should have Vinney sign the car.
Just want to say, correct me if Im wrong, none of the movie cars were drag cars they just were made to look like drag cars from what ive read and seen through the craig leiberman videos and articles there were 3 chargers for the movie in 2001, one was the pipe ramp crach car that had a 440, the other was the wheelie car which also has a 440 and is now at the volo car museum and the last one i belive was the close up car which now resides in Italy that sports a ford 9 inch and a 528 or 572 hemi with nitrous plates. The engine in the garage charger in the movie was borrowed from chuck taylor racing engines and was put in there. The distributor was in the back because it was a gen 1 hemi, not sure the displacement might have been a 392 or a 345. The blower was a Mooneyham 871 i believe with an Enderle bug catcher scoop. And in the Fast 9 flashback you see an early hemi being put into the car which was a nice touch. The cars that ran these race engines didnt have radiators because than ran on alchohol or methanol which when burned produce less heat than that of burning gasoline. Not sure which edition of the movie cars youre going for with the charger but id you dont want to tub it, you gotta put some track-bars under the leaf springs, as well as tunable shocks to dial in the traction.
It will be cool to see these two cars together. It would be cool to see that Supra next to a Ferrari 355 Spider as well as that was a great scene as well. Even if it is just finding someone that has a 355 Spider to get them together.
@@JustDriven thanks i only need to find the water pump housing, that also acts as an timing chain cover, for the 429, and it's specific for the 64 model only, also wath are the plans for yours ?
Can't wait to see more of both the Supra and '70 Charger.. hopefully you guys use the correct '69 rear clip/lights for the tail the way film did.. I saw some BTS stuff for the original film that stated that the car that was driven in the movie was a '69 with the '70 front end.. and there were a couple '70s cars with '69 rear ends.. keep up the great work fellas!!
There was.. but even with the 70 you can remove the surround that goes around the tail lights and it will look like the 69 tail end.. especially after painted black. Some early model 70's had the 69 rear panel.
@@JustDriven if you’re interested I was able to get up close to universals Fast n Furious charger from the very first film. It was the one that was on display after the first film came out, and was repainted to match the later version chargers by Dennis McCarthy. To my knowledge it’s the only one the studio still owns. I took numerous photos of the interior and underneath to see what kind of condition it was in. If you have an email I can send them 👍
Daryl is close friends with Dennis. But we are always happy to hear from the community. So we would love to see what you have. You can DM us on IG or info at justdriven dot com.
I would love to see these 2 cars line up on Terminal Island to recreate the race in the exact same location. Obviously things have changed and it doesn’t look exactly the same, but it would still be cool to see how the race would run in real life. Who would win?
I'm a Supra owner and an obvious import fan but I could listen to Joe talk about domestic stuff all day long. I've only witnessed 20 minutes of this guy and I'll be sad when he passes some day.
Get a hold of Chris Birdsong. He can help get the chassis setup to hold the power. He just re did David Frieburger General Mayham with a small tub to fit a bigger tire.
My 2jz, not a crazy expensive build on 32psi makes 520wkw so 700 odd wheel HP so I don’t know what that is engine… but I assuming the 2j you build is gunna have more cash then mine put in it so I don’t see how you wouldnt make it 1000hp out of it easy And I run a 255 M&H drag radial and my car hooks up, on a well prepared track
@@JustDriven my car is basics, 264 bc cams SS valve springs. 1350cc injectors, 3ltr surge tank with 2x walbro, 255 pumps, 1200 fuel reg, 6boost top mouth turbo manifold T4 flange, 6466 gen yo with plazmaman cooler. Haltech ecu. Really basic build… I’m looking forward to your build for sure… I’d be contacting REAL ST about the build….
If that Changer has an actual 800-900 horsepower and the tire's hook which.. they will. Mickey Thompson ET Streets. That Charger will eat that Supra alive. But we'll see.. 600 horsepower is a lot.. Gotta remember that Supra has stock street tires. Spinning isn't winning.
