Big American V8 Power In A Cheap Porsche 911!!! | PART 5 - Making PowerKraut So Much Better!

We've been thrashing on PowerKraut for weeks now and it's finally time to get this thing working right~! The engine didn't fit under the decklid, it was leaking coolant from 10 different spots, and the wheels/tire package were pretty underwhelming. Watch Tony Angelo and the Stay Tuned crew work and fight this 996 Porsche until it finally finally turns into a proper street machine!

[@TerminusVox]

I'm so happy to see all these "little" details being finished up! While I appreciate the 'get-er-done' videos I love that you're going back in to make this car an all-season driver.

[@tooltimenova]

The roller coaster of emotions this car brings. I can feel the pain when the rear coolant lines started leaking and Tony melted down. Keep up the great work and please keep the vids coming.

[@chrisgramza8582]

40:17.... I haven't laughed so hard in a while, at the string of beeps... hilarious You guys are awesome. Happy new year to the Stay Tuned Team and their families. See you in 2024!

[@cjh4l22]

46:08 "and I swear to god if it leaks one more time I'm gonna convert that thing to air cooled. watch me"

[@EmDub215]

I chuckled hard at that part of the video.

[@DaJuiceBox35]

OMG…..me too. That was hilarious.

[@Mr_kay240]

been there swore at that... hilarious!

[@Snugglez187]

I absolutely love this content. Real people doing real projects in a real garage. None of the other car channels have this.

[@wizardofhyd]

Tony, that Porsche is turning out awesome, you make us PA boys proud to see the work you and your team puts down! I can’t wait to see you turn up the wick and send it on the track!

[@bat5917]

Tony, you are an inspiration! This build is not only amazing, it was a royal pain in the ass. You and your team stayed with it, somehow, and got it done. I’m an old man doing cam and heads on my C5 and some of it has been frustrating, but your show of determination has picked me up! Thanks, big fan 👍

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

Stay tuned crew and Families. Have a great new years. Health and wellness for you and yours. Viewers/followers - ditto. EDIT- looking at those water lines. I'm thinking the designer/engineer drank way way way to much warm dark beer. Just an fyi - when you were carrying the new lines, it looked like a sci-fy megablaster death ray cannon master blaster 2000. (Patent pending as of right now). I see a shirt. I do. Lol

[@StayTunedTA]

Appreciate it! Best wishes to you and all the gang!

[@bobroberts2371]

said "looking at those water lines. I'm thinking the designer/engineer drank way way way to much warm dark beer. " And you can do a better job? With limited space there are only so many empty spaces

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

@bobroberts2371 I absolutely cannot do better. Even with my German heritage. So yes the factory did better than I ever would of. (Maybe use better material or a inner treatment?)

[@layzboy2545]

Man, I was worried. 🤣🤣 Thought you lost the Shop. Wouldn’t be a Friday without Tony and the boys. HellYeah. Beer and a Slice Time. Ready to Stay Tuned. Happy New Year!!

[@adrianhughes2163]

Great project to watch, and I really think it showcased the great skills you and your team have as it looked like a tough build. It was also really great to see you took time to polish it up, rather than the 'quick and dirty' approach as this car is too good for that I think. Also thanks for the videos this year, I am sure a great deal of hard work and late nights go into these builds that as the viewer we maybe don't always appreciate... Happy New Year in advance to you and the team. Best regards.

[@SNAKERADIOS]

I never saw anyone else remote the throttle body. I knew it could be done but never seen one on an LS manifold situation, Great solution. Love this build sounds like it rips for sure. Ok IF everyone that watches subscribed he Could be over 250k subs. Lets get it done guys and gals. They deserve it and it`s very important for tony and his family!! Thanks guys.

[@bowlkiller1975]

"If you guys can't jam those heater hoses up here WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SELL THE SHOP!!!" Apex wheels are the best in the business! I put 140,000 miles on a set with my 2016 Camaro SS before I had to sell it because I've gotten sick and am disabled now... and homeless and living in my Subaru for the past 3 years. These video's really help give me a distraction from the fibromyalgia and severe depression. THANK YOU

[@StayTunedTA]

YES, basically.

[@GreggeSB]

Finally! The "magic incantations" that make every car repair/build complete. If it doesn't make you cuss, you don't care enough about the vehicle. Learned those magic words at a very young age, and the proper application of them which seem make things come together eventually. I've been waiting for that long string of bleeps that lets me know you care, lol.

[@user-gk6kh3pc2h]

I want to be like Tony Angelo when I grow up

[@bendummer8084]

That does sound gorgeous! Lots of love for all of Zuffenhausen's finest!

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks! It's got a little high RPM howl that suits the car very well.

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

​@@StayTunedTA that exhaust has pushed me to ditch the H pipe and flows and get xpipe and borlas

[@rabidcoyote97]

It took way too long to have an expletive laced rant! There’s no way you can work on all these projects and not lose it! Probably my favorite episode ever! Keep up the good f****** work!

[@StayTunedTA]

HAHA, when I promise to get a car out on the road, I mean it! And that last disaster on a friday when we were going to take the next week "off" really got me!

[@namtech425]

Oh wow guys that cooling system is fighting you all the way. Good job on this thing guys.

[@MH-rb7lp]

Awesome work, almost makes me want to buy a Porsche... Having your own mil and lathe is absolutely awesome even if you are not a full on machinist, you can make/fix things you couldn't before. I love my Bridgeport and Southbend.

[@SupermotoCentral]

I liked how the sweater matched the coolant, also great choice of wheels and glad you went back to 18 inch size which is the best for the 996

[@kc360awareness]

That’s a lot like the Apollo 911 from Hoovies Garage fame …. and of course The Car Wizard. Awesome build. Power Crout. Clever.

[@ArthurSperotto]

Duuude it looks mad beautiful now! Perfect daily right there.

[@lucyh9559]

Wow! this might be one of the best ST episodes to date. I feel equally as much love for everyone on the show, and it feels like they all, rotating guests included, are having more fun and camera time. The energy is unmatched. I also felt that sickening deja vu watching you fab the custom aluminum lines for the LS again. What a mess this episode was, incredible stuff Get that sht done Tony!

[@maddie33990]

Cool upload, please keep them flowing! ❤️

[@ThePete2432]

This project is realistic and I love it. The last 10/15 percent of my projects takes longer than the first 85/90 percent of the project. I like swapping engines… but then I break everything every time.

[@A-Dub68]

Not knocking the other guys (or girl) on HRG or Roadkill, but Tony's builds are better than most of anything turned out by both shows combined in his absence! So glad that this channel exists!

[@dakotadennett6979]

This channel never fails to amaze! I hope you had a merry Christmas! Keep it safe and God bless!

[@juiceda6]

I love watching you guys work on this Porsche. I want this same setup. Best of both worlds

[@MrCecilbag]

The agony of those lines was real. Great build and those wheels are perfect.

[@WiringRescue]

PERSEVERANCE! 😂 I wasn’t sure if you were gonna lose the shop or not. Nice work my dudes!

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

Happy safe new year to you & the crew Tony.

[@StayTunedTA]

Happy new year! Thanks for watching!

[@benjaminmergele333]

Jesus the amount of patience im sure this episode took from you had to be insane. I know a lot of guys who would’ve thrown a fit and given up for months after that second leak. Way to see it through! Car’s a ripper!

[@lll9416]

This is what makes Tony a top creator this is been broken up into 5 parts but every single part had a vision, an accomplishment of the mission and then a ride at the end! Ffs, I can no longer watch people breaking up a simple thirty minute video into ten freaking parts. Thanx T-man!

[@HandDriven]

I love the fact all as you mentioned there was a clutch issue, the new guy imediately asked if wanted it taken out 💪🏽 awesome video boys!

[@bgee461]

Nice job gentlemen!! You guys do great work together. Happy new year!

[@sporty196071]

You and your crew got it going on!! You guys really hook stuff up, and I'm learning new stuff

[@carsonfiero4209]

Happy new year Tony. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@chadwickciampo3634]

Tony and his crew Rock! Feel like they are my spirit animal...if thats a thing.

[@QSnoki]

So much respect for you guys taking the engine out after it leaked again. I would have set the car on fire, press it into a box shape and send it back to Germany. Love from the Netherlands!

[@user-cb3ti8qt1w]

Nice work you guys. Love all that big sound and power from that little car.

[@usjosharmy]

Love the fresh content guys! Much appreciated

[@TVtwarn]

You can tell if someone likes old cars - Zim giving that chassis rail a couple of old’good boi’ pats… says it all

[@user-xm2ew1lg8w]

I look forward to seeing your post every Friday. The Powerkraut is an awesome build! You do awesome work!

[@joekallok6054]

You guys make me so happy with your builds! Happy new year!

[@AutoAppraisalGuy]

Come eat, come on. - Tony with a Steak That hit. These guys are so awesome. Love that Tony has fostered this awesome community, just too cool, wish we had something like that here!

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

[@AutoAppraisalGuy]

@@StayTunedTA absolutely 💯 you guys are bomb! Keep it up and hopefully we'll make it to sick week this year!

[@donparker1823]

The oil accumulator idea is fascinating. The old Hawk surface to air missile control surfaces worked on the same principle. That is there was a steel tank half of which that had an inner rubber bladder with hydraulic fluid in it and the other half was highly pressurized air. When the missile launched the air pressure was released into the vessel and the bladder would force fluid into the control surface actuators and the guidance system would work from there. Nice job on the headlights.

[@carlossol999]

Merry late Christmas and I hope you have a fantastic new year. Excited to see what you guys build.

[@smartintan]

It's got such a cool sounding exhaust, not too loud to be annoying, just a sound that says performance.

[@briantodd9996]

Great content as always you guys are killing it keep up the work 👍

[@GerardBendotti]

that giggle when you floored it 😂

[@patrickfeuillet6878]

Fantastic project, thanks Tony😀

[@johnbaldwin6585]

Hey y'all, Saint John from R&D exotics here. Glad they we could be of assistance to get this beast on the road, ripping. Hey Zach, aren't you glad you took ALL the pipes? Nice job on the headlights 👍 HAHA! Can't wait to see this badass piece of machinery in person. Be Safe! Later ...

[@jasontaylor8296]

Great job man. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@TheUsmc0802]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year Tony and company. Thank you for all the amazing free content!

[@tonypozzini4724]

I feel your pain Tony! Chasing down those coolant leaks was a LOT of work! To hopefully ease your pain I ordered one of your cool Stay Tuned Richardson trucker hats! Keep on rocking the great content and May you and your guys and your families have a Happy and prosperous New Year!

[@bobbycuesroadhouse2204]

I’ve had great success with polishing the headlights vs the cost of replacing them, Great content with the variety of the builds, !

[@joeboonen7421]

Compliments of the season Tony and crew! Love your content and personalities That Porsche is awesome.

[@georgebrown7557]

Congrats you got the best of both worlds there all that hard work paid off 👍 Killer ride Keep those videos rolling

[@79tazman]

That Bridgeport is awesome it's a must have in a shop and there are so many things you can do with it too. The older the machine the better they re in my opinion and the longer they last.

[@alanthompson7777]

Love what you guys do, Nice work , thanks for entertaining us with uploads it's much appreciated.

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@anthonypaules7893]

Put a cam and a set of aluminum heads on my 454. Fired her up and had a coolant drip from the back of the head gasket. I almost cried, then I laughed and pulled the pig back out and fixed it. Life of a mechanic.

[@davidmcnett2602]

Sick, sick, sick. Love this build and channel!!

[@JC-gy4xs]

Best episode yet! The team is incredible and the content is on point!

[@kennynelson2269]

Tony you're a freaking Rockstar brother.. i hope you guys had a great new year thanks for all the hard work man..

[@Demonpk-lb4gh]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TONY

[@rexcramer65]

Thanks for the effort from you and the fellas. Congrats on 12/29 upload!

[@carvilleweb]

Brilliant. A great job. Happy New Year!

[@DE-ok4ld]

Awesome stuff!

[@alovero2]

the sound of the hand pump for the cooling system pressure test brought back memories. First generation porsche water cooling glued in coolant pipes. You guys are living the 996 dream! God speed, its a great analog and simple car!!!

[@mlivshiz]

Awesome car. Can’t wait to see more of it. Love this channel.

[@brianlafollette7530]

This one looks like how my projects are going

[@timtompkins150]

Fantastic show. I truly hate for it to be over. I enjoy all of it. I really feel like part of the team. Thank you

[@RexCars1]

EXCELLENT.. Great Build.. Well Done TA..

[@johnhoward5367]

I really needed that long string of beeps it killed me. Finally I have something aside from debt I share with youtube car guys

[@johncarella1836]

Love the Car!!! Tiny suggestion the Sticker on side got to go and Got to get lowered!!! Maybe a crazy wrap!

[@shaunelder8950]

You all da bomb Tony (and crew)! You all inspire me to get projects on the road, fight through the pain...and coolant leaks.

[@stokerdon1020]

Some conversions fight you every inch of the way. Glad you stuck with it and got it all fixed. I can't believe you had to replace every piece of coolant pipe in the car, that's crazy! Looking forward to the tuning and finishing touches!

[@TheSundown2010]

Tony and crew. Thank you guys so much for all the content. I am a better rodder because of you and your crew. This build is absolutely nuts to watch. Happy holidays and thank you...

[@thought1212]

awesome car. happy holidays tony and crew.

[@360RTZoD]

Love it... What an awesome ride and it sounds wicked.

[@jamesclaydon6065]

This is awesome Tony. Your packaging skills are next level💪

[@vwbyoy88]

FINALLY Tony went off!! I SO FELT THAT!! Working on cars can be so rewarding and insanely frustrating.

[@willdimmer6194]

You guys are the best!! Great video I love the length 😅

[@jameskellison9342]

Yay! Killing it per usual! Love the creativity! The Kraut looks and sounds mean!

[@StayTunedTA]

Appreciate that big time!

[@scottimusgarrett15]

I keep lovin' what you and the crew are doing, Tony! Happy-Merry Chrismakwanzakkah, and a wicked-cool New Year from Canada's west coast!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@auto.impulse]

You guys do great work 👏 kudos to you and your team

[@RoninDosho]

THAT, was incredibly satisfying to watch. Thanks.

[@StayTunedTA]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate it.

This 911 is killer!!!! I've always been a huge fan of the 996 even if it kinda the red-headed step child of Porsches. Thanks for the amazing content keep up the great work 👏🏿👍🏿

[@shawnpoole9649]

Great video guys!

[@frankjames3027]

Great Car. Great Video. I can't wait to see this thing on the track.

Listening to tony curse like Ralphie's dad from a Christmas story makes this the best Christmas KZbin video

[@JTACSupply]

Oh man, so glad I found your channel. The Porschevy....uhhh I mean PowerKraut is so awesome. You and the guys are having TOO much fun! Love the content, keep it up!

[@Terrycrackcorn]

Cool new Bridgeport! Right on!

[@jasonbirch1182]

A little tip on the coolant tank. If you run a small auxiliary pump in the line down to the bottom rad hose it will constantly push coolant back into the system and pull the air/steam off the top. You can find them in the heating system of 80s and 90s Mercedes for certain but im sure theyre inntons of stuff. Its used to help circulation to the heater in factory form.

[@davidfernandez3554]

That bleep rant was so epic and relatable. Pretty sure we've all had those at one point or another. Happy new year!
