BIG Progress on the Chevy Straight-Six S13

You can make it equally lenght just using water and measuring how much water each tube takes. it will help make more power with less boost and stress

[@waylonmurphy5772]

I can testify on 4200 make some damn good power with a little turbo

[@winterlounge]

Exhaust manifold looks awesome.

[@jaythemusicman801]

I love seeing new swaps in drift builds. Been following nivlac57 for a couple years, eager to see how this turns out

[@randoawesomemix9501]

4240 drift build pronounced "forty-two-forty" I subscribed to see this build come along so keep the videos coming.

[@lock_to_lock]

Will do! 🫡

[@HeidiFegles]

Glad to see someone doing something with this motor. It needs some aftermarket support for sure.

[@kipholder8577]

that turbo manifold looks nuts and cool at the same time

[@WitchDr86]

I would like a total count of Miller Lites consumed during the fabrication of the intake and exhaust. Interested in the gallons of liquid courage involved in this task. Keep it up boys, she's gonna be a ripper.

[@lock_to_lock]

It’s a lot! We’ll add it up for the next video.

[@chrisbranscome7220]

All of them

[@WitchDr86]

@@chrisbranscome7220 that was close to the number I had in my head. I was at "damn near a truck load"

[@danielkingery2894]

I'm NOT building any manifilds myself...but those 3d parts for mock up are SUPER COOL. I've accidentally found out about these motirs by buying the most ridiculous SUV they came in...the Envoy XUV.😂

[@lock_to_lock]

The mock up is a game changer! Thanks for watching!

[@richardgriffin-t4c]

When welding the runners, leave / make a larger size radius / venturi to help flow. A sharp edge will hurt flow /cause turbulence.

[@nissanv6TT]

I like your container shop. Cool build too. Nice to see more Atlas builds coming on youtube

[@lock_to_lock]

Appreciate the kind words! Glad you're enjoying the Atlas builds.

[@2OO_OK]

Great work! I had no idea there was a manual trans option which auto-magically fits that engine. Thanks for the video.

[@lock_to_lock]

Thanks for watching!

[@Run-Matsuo]

Super-interesting project. Nice work on that manifold!

[@lock_to_lock]

Thanks, Chris put a ton of work into it!

[@inferno9010]

Favorite car, one of my favorite engines. Hell yeah dude

[@lock_to_lock]

Glad you appreciate the combo!

[@Calvin-Nelson]

Heck yeah guys. You're doing great!

[@lock_to_lock]

Appreciate the support..Maybe we'll see you at Atlas Nationals this year!

[@Chuckie_Skezus]

Its very refreshing to hear someone say they are a newb at something. Most of the time you watch a video and people seem to think everything has to be perfect. It really doesnt. Funtion over form

[@lock_to_lock]

We're just figuring it out at we go and sharing the process, glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@4familyman]

Some pretty badass fabrication !!!

[@lock_to_lock]

Thanks!

[@waylonmurphy5772]

Played around with the straight 5 too for a while

[@beatboy7kgaming]

14:21 n that manifold loooks sooo good already 😍

[@larshardy4117]

Chris is a mad man and I’m all for it!

[@Kilo_Indigo_Charlie]

420SX!

[@Chuckie_Skezus]

Been waiting on this part 2!! Lets go

[@chrono1924]

Some subframe spacers might give you a little more room for the oil pan.

[@tylergiesey1305]

beautiful work

[@lock_to_lock]

Appreciate the compliment!

[@moemuggy4971]

This is super cool. And I applaud your ingenuity and determination. But the take-away I get from this is, it would have been far easier and more practical to just put a 2JZ in there. The recipe for the 2JZ has already been written for the S13. If anything, I learned a lot. Maybe not something I would attempt, but mad respect for your build. Not many people can say they have an Amera-Barra S13.

[@lock_to_lock]

2JZ is rad no doubt and much easier, but we’re having fun trying something new and different. Thanks for watching!

[@jimw8016]

Subscribed. Appreciate the videos! I know exactly what you mean in regards to the build vs buy. Wish I had vids of all I have fabbed. Enjoy the details, the struggles & solutions you come up with.

[@lock_to_lock]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@jon_swal4585]

Damn fine work on that manifold! Great video!

[@lock_to_lock]

Thanks for watching!

[@thetruthwithin1]

Subscribed, can't wait to see more.

[@andrevokey4132]

Wicked to see this coming together. I'm thinking about putting this setup in a e36

[@lock_to_lock]

Do it!

[@kevrasx]

👍🏻 I am sure you have heard about the shaved low profile valve covers on the market.

[@lock_to_lock]

We have something in the works

[@peepeetheclown956]

I watched the whole thing through, so awesome

[@phrax8746]

Potential name: Project 4240

[@nismospek]

Really cool seeing you put together that manifold. Not sure if you did or not but did you take into account your firing order? I was told that keeping the runners that fire close to each other really helps scavenging.

[@lock_to_lock]

I’m pretty sure Chris tired to place the runners in a similar fashion to a twin-scroll. Thanks for watching!

[@pjrandolph8325]

subframe spacers will give you about an inch of clearance for the oil pan

[@lock_to_lock]

Subframe spacers are a great idea, we may end up doing that.

[@jzsingh1161]

Sick build

[@TailEndCustoms]

Nice! How’s ole Shaun doing? This is a helluva project.

[@catbee6506]

Those 3D printed pie cuts look really useful actually! Do you know if your brother has posted the models online anywhere? It'd be awesome if he uploaded them so others could use them.

[@lock_to_lock]

There’s an email in the description for more info!

[@catbee6506]

@@lock_to_lock Oh thanks! Sorry I didn't even notice it lol. I guess I'm not very good at reading.

They make the process "easy ish". However, still EXTREMELY time consuming.

This shit is so cool

He really doin it

[@MrTurk6988]

I've got the 3500 atlas and was looking for a turbo flange and can't find one....my goal is to put it in a Vega

[@lock_to_lock]

Ebay has several T4 turbo flange options available. Good luck with your project!

[@Allthingsoffroad-p8v]

Cool

[@TWCAAO]

mod the valve cover for those last inch you need to close the hood.

[@lock_to_lock]

Will do!

[@TWCAAO]

@lock_to_lock Im moving my oil fil and taking 1.3 off the top

[@off6848]

Do those motors do good with ITBs? The turbo setup really complicates the swap imo but it will definitely haul ass

[@lock_to_lock]

They make great power NA, so I’m sure ITBs would work well and sound amazing.

[@emanh4keem_san420]

would ya make frame mounted style engine mount like Darren guy from Ireland?

[@lock_to_lock]

I think Chris is going to mount to the subframe, but frame mounts work great too!

[@240bch]

you're keeping it front sump?

[@chrisbranscome7220]

No, initially it was until we started cutting the firewall and found that there is a way to make it rear sump. That'll all be explained in the next video.

[@dethdeks]

would your brother happen to want to sell the STL file for those header fab parts

[@lock_to_lock]

He sold a few sets on eBay, but I'll ask if he is interested is sharing the STL files.

[@vladkruglov7719]

Since the firewall is cut already then why not making it a mid engine, push that heavy block to sit as it was when it was a 4 cylinder

[@lock_to_lock]

He’s got it pushed back nearly as far as the previous engine, and with this being an all aluminum 6cyl it should be well balanced where he has it.

[@buttmankun]

Pretty sure stainless will rot aluminum through galvanic corrosion

[@lock_to_lock]

We will not be submerging the car in water so we Gucci
