i like the voice over approach. But I feel more involved when both of you talk to the camera like you guys always do. The voice over is a good addition. Good job.
Well put. I like the "debrief" or "unpacking" segments more, but you guys found a good mix. If it helps you make content faster i'm ok with more voiceover, just don't forget the old style.
Digging the beauty shots with the synthwave vibe music. Engine bay looks great. Not 100% sure about the valve covers in the type-r look red. It looks unintentional as its tonally off from the body color red. Matte black(to match the mold in color black plastic bits under the hood) would look great next to the gloss black plug wire cover. Or maybe matte silver. Overall great job though.
I think the ceramic coating on the intercooler will have the opposite effect than what you're hoping for. It will insulate the intercooler and not allow as much heat transfer. Raw aluminum or anodizing would be the best options for an intercooler I would think?
In theory the best possible surface finish for shedding heat would be a raw media blasted/cast aluminum style finish. Maximum surface area for heat disappation
"Never go in dry". Thats just good life advice Anything matte black shows scratches like crazy. Crappy part is regardless of how its applied there is no way to get rid of them. Matte car paint you can't buff out cause it goes to gloss. Powder coating, nothing matches. Even vinyl wrap. Not sure about the ceramic coating. I'm sure it's the same. I like the voice over mixed with some stoppage. I'm sure its easier to get more done without all the stop and go plus we still get to see everything.
The hose clamp on the fuel hat is a safety measure to prevent the hat from popping off on a hot day. Without the clamp the plastic can flex enough to bypass the threads especially when it's hot. A car parked in the sun can get very hot
It look absolutely fantastic. But I must say the valve covers tweek my OCD ever so slightly. They look more orange than red. Apart from that it's really good. Love the grey on the ceramic coat. Rock on dudes. 😁👍
Enjoyed to see some variety in your presentation! Something I did enjoy was the music DIDNT increase when you weren't talking then go right back to quiet when you did and then ramp back up again.
This is the PERFECT color setup for a 2J in my opinion. Maybe it's because we're all Honda guys at heart, but the wrinkle red valve covers is absolutely the way to go!
I'm a Tiler by trade, and the fashion for the last few years has been matt and satin finishes, and yeah they just don't hold up, especially with metal trim pieces. Gloss finishes were created for reasons other than it looking shiny, and I will take the gloss option whenever I can, I suggest the same to everyone.
Getting together pretty nicely guys ! Ceramic coat over powder coat. Form follows Function. Little scratch don't mather when the hood is closed 😉 But I'm still surprised how fragile your coating is, I thought ceramic coating was suppose to be hard. 🤔 I guess Cerakote is not that great after all compare to normal ceramic coatings.
Im pretty sure you have already done it but make sure you calibrate the TPS, funky and headscratching issues may happen if you dont. Dont ask how I know LOL As with every project, this is a work of art!! DP showing some serious getting in shape these last episodes, good for you SIr, keep it up !
The beauty shots were very nice, but I also like your old style, it’s very personable. I think combining both is the way to go. I’m so excited to see the Supra at the track, it’s looking great!
I Cerakoted for years! Mostly for the gun world but I also did some car/bike stuff. I would usually use a matte clear on top of the intake stuff for clients (it has a 300 degree Fahrenheit limit.) And it would help with reducing scratches. Cerakote it good but man will the matte scratch super easy in all applications... Satin was the happy medium it seemed. Great build! Can't wait to see the final product!
GTA is "cool guy speak" hahah oh Dave. I like the narrative style btw. Perhaps you guys could throw in some of your banter, similar to what mighty car mods does where they talk about random stuff unrelated to cars while they're both wrenching. Supra's coming along very nicely guys, keep up the quality work!!
Extreme informatly videos you got there. Going to help me a lot in my ongoing projects with my two supras that going under the knife this winter. Cant thank you enough!
I personally like this approach of video style, I feel like it can condense videos a bit more and is probably easier on you guys for filming because you don't have to stop as much.
Well guys, you crushed another episode and I definitely really enjoy the voice overs on the B roll. Actually, I think this episode was a great mix of "real time" work and voice over for the more "run of the mill" type stuff! Great plug for the DEI looms, too. I'm flying out to California this Wednesday to pick up my next project car and I'm already building a list of companies and products that I'd like to use, based on your vids!
Just wanted to give my feedback on the way you presented the video, I prefer the normal way as it brings more personality to the videos. Love your videos and have been a massive fan for a long time now. The supra is looking great and I love the work and effort you both put into this!
I like the dubbed shots a lot, you guys did a good job narrating it, and it doesn't stop the flow. I think a mix of traditional, and these narrated B roll shots are great. You boiz are getting so strong, being able to torque 25NM! Those projects are really compounding your muscular abilities 💪
Team black here! Loving this build! RU-vidr know it all tip. Don't clean off the paint on your grounds, that will cause them to rust eventually causing a bad ground overtime. Use a proper bolt that's made for a ground and you'll be good
the engine bay looks really nice! n i didn't mind the voice over at all. i dont think it hurt the flow of the video n if it makes it easier then go with it
Started this series about a week ago. I’m addicted. Keep going in detail! Because Or the detail and mix of b roll is why I always make it to the end!! Thank you
The quality of your videos have improved so much over the years.. I like the talking over when doing tasks that don't need real time explanations.. regarding the colours within the engine bay.. I'm not the biggest fan of alot of shades of red and those reds together don't work amazingly well but you could say it's barely a pass 😂
Honestly I think the supra being painted would be sick. I'm not in love with the red. If that's too much effort or a time issue right now I think the valve covers being satin black would be much cleaner than the clashing reds. Either way awesome build I love how you two go about building cars!!
Not a huge fan of the valve covers shade of red and the difference in gloss black to cerakote black but it still looks amazing! I am happy you guys are trying out different things! Keep up the amazing work
I liked the voiceover! Although I think blending both styles would help pacing and keep it personal. I just love the uploads regardless of how they come.
The narration & insert shots for each task is fantastic! Somewhere in between where you get frustrated/need to troubleshoot would be good to break up predictability & help viewer retention every 45 seconds or so
i like the cerakoting, will be interesting to see if it results in lower IATs. the valve cover is off just enough that it triggers me. it gives the impression of a failed color match attempt. also I hope you're planning on somehow heat shielding that intake. just nit picks though, you two do incredible work!!
I would have gone with a silver that matches the vapor honed components. Matte and gloss look good. Rock chips will eat the cerakote on the front end components.
I'm enjoying this build! The bench-racer in me says the air filter doesn't haven't enough area for that turbo at the higher end. When you dyno it, you should try a run with the air filter off.
Curious to see how the coating holds up with how easily it scratches, great color choices. Maybe in the future use header shield for the hot stuff and powder coat the rest.
Good stuff guys. One thing I'd like to do to my 1JZ is add drive by wire. It's running a full standalone and neatens the engine bay up, by being able to delete the IACV. It even allows for cruise control and an improved idle. For the JZA80 and JZZ30, you can use a DBW throttle pedal from a UZZ40 Toyota Soarer.
Love the supra videos! One remark looping the idle up valve, it is not only for comfort but also safety. It is more prown on manual transmission cars but if you release the clutch before a corner the power steering assistance can drop to the point it becomes heavy to steer around the corner, due to engine rpm drop.. This can catch you by surprise and send you ways you dont want to go. I would always leave this valve operational.
I'm a stickler for detail and to be honest, there's nothing wrong with the combination of colours and textures in the engine bay, I think it presents a pretty coherent theme
I feel much more envolved and relaxed in the normal editing, without voiceover, and it’s less work to go back and have to lay down a voiceover. But love the content as always guys!
"I'm good at finding sneaky holes" DP, man quality comedy along side good gearhead content! Superb guy! The old format personally I like better, but there is a place for the voiceovers for sure so maybe with a bit more refinement as to where its used and not would be best. Either way nice episode. I know you are big JDM fanboys and your fanbase is probably mostly the same, but come one guys throw on a German car here and there. (besides a BMW) an Audi or VW perhaps.
For the valve covers, I personally think a wrinkle black would’ve been a better decision, just because the two different reds seem to clash a lot, and it kinda throws off the whole look of the bay. I would’ve even possibly hit the fan shroud with some of the SEM black trim paint, just to try to make it match all the other black plastics in the bay. As for the voice over, I dig it, but I feel like it was a bit more than I’d have liked. I’m sure there’s a good balance out there somewhere. But you know what? It’s free [great] content and I’ll watch regardless! All that being said, I’m really enjoying this series, and can’t wait to see what PT does with the 34!
Love the Red Valve Covers. Engine Cover would of look sweet in a Matte Gun Metal Gray. And the lettering painted A Silver Color to look like it’s brushed.
It's looking smart, nice job with the stealth install in the brushless pump too. Ceramic coatings have been used in motorsport applications for years in F1 and elsewhere, although more recently they also moved on too expensive alloys like Inconel in exhausts etc. Unless my eyes deceive me those scratches looked like blemishes to the surface finish rather than through the coating to the base material, so I think functionally speaking you'll be fine, even if it does trigger your OCD!!
Love the video and showing us new approaches in building 2JZ! Thanks for the fuel pump tutorial! Gives me hope if I ever decide to do this! Btw, keracoating turbo housing all day!
I sent all of my aluminum parts to Jet Hot coatings So they have the polished look but the coating keep the temperature down and has a beautiful finish. Single turbo.,🔥🏁🏁🏁💯
I for one enjoy the yakking lol i come to watch bc of the cars i stay bc i love the way you guys are lol i enjoy your guys insight and back and forth with each other lol
If you had the valve covers sand blasted I would really consider removing the baffles. Sand residue can get trapped in there and ruin your engine eventually soo consider checking that out before you proceed. keep up the great work guys.
Looks great guys! I love how the bay is coming together. I was surprised to see you retain the clutch fan setup since you are chasing high efficiency in other aspects of the build. But as someone who has melted many of the autoparts Efan controllers I understand wanting something that works everytime. It would be interesting to see you disconnect the fan on the last dyno pull and see what the gains look like!
@@speedacademy Im here in Australia with heats that demand good cooling. In my Supra with a 6870 (and supporting mods) and a PWR radiator the stock mechanical fan performed flawlessly. I have gone to electric (dual spal) but only because the OEM fan shroud was deforming and hitting the fan at high speed (i.e. above 250 km/h) during race events. If this wasnt occurring i would be OEM all day long.
The premise and the ease of use of the Vibrant HD clamps is awesome. My only question is, with how much they allow the respective pipes to move, will you end up with a rattle or vibration from them hitting the frame, or something else?
Like it better when you talk to the camera but I certainly won’t leave the channel if you go the other route. Love the engine bay. It’s a driver-car so don’t worry about the scratches. It’s gonna get used anyway.
I actually think a crinkle silver to match the silver on the freshly restored intake mani and all other sand blasted silver parts in the engine bay. Not a fan of the red crinkle but loving the build as a whole 👍🏼👌🏼
Not too sure about the Cerakote on the intercooler itself and possibly the piping if I'm honest. I'm pretty sure the reason you Cerakote hot side parts is to retain heat in the exhaust system and prevent it radiating outwards in to the bay, which sounds counterproductive for an intercooler system that is designed to release heat 🤷♂️ It looks cool, but it may actually have a negative effect
