This makes me feel better about all the problems I have with my cars.

[@Rizer1231]

Mine needs an engine swap or rebuild, transmission also needs to also be swap or rebuilt, so I got that going for me, and a few dents and a fresh paint job,

[@Aupexx]

@@Rizer1231 one step at a time. My car used to be where yours is but only needs an engine now. Taught myself to do bodywork and swapped the trans with some buddies one weekend. So progress is slow, but I'm building it the way I want and taking the time to do it right so im happy with where It's come with it so far.

[@jvr6809]

How is that the motors fault?😂

[@oneplumpboi5317]

There's a chance that the water pump is over-pumping. Typically the effective range is about 5000rpm, but if you're exceeding that, the water won't have enough time to cool before re-entering the engine. You can either change the pulley size or goto an electronic waterpump.

[@Kinann]

Going electric frees up HP for the engine, too.

[@JuniorJunison]

​@@Kinannwell supposedly, I think it won't change it much because the alternator will just be put under more load and in turn that results in more load on the engine from the alternator, I think it would free up some horsepower if the water pump ran completely independent from the alternator and rest of the system on a battery. But I think going to an electric water pump makes the pumping of the water more consistent because it doesn't rely on engine rpm anymore. Anyway I could be wrong but that's my first thoughts anyway.

[@jonathansmith7306]

​@@JuniorJunisonit would increase efficiency a bit. There's less energy loss from electric motors

[@vxsr33]

​@@JuniorJunisonwhilst you are correct in saying going from a belt driven water pump to an electric water pump will put more load on the alternator. The parasitic hp loss from increased load on the alternator is much less than from a belt driven pulley.

[@Kinann]

@@JuniorJunison There's no longer parasitic belt loss when you remove the pulley. Agree, no such thing as free energy and you can't argue with Ohm's Law.

[@1wadup]

I love how you went from working out of your home garage to having a legit shop and even a lift for parking struggles because you have so many projects. Bring back Bart’s Science Garage!!! You do some, but his quirky way was great!!

[@aidenjagdeo7423]

4 piston calipers are great for track use but if u wanna lock up the rear u need less pistons cuz u exert less force to make all pistons fully extend and lockkk.

[@Tanner_Teves]

I remember a while ago y'all made a video on all the issues you guys had with all the project cars, would love to see more follow up videos like this of y'all fixing them and falling in love with the cars again.

[@paksao82]

There are 2 different reluctors for LS's crank signal. The 24x and the 58x. Make sure your sensor matches your wheel in the engine and make sure both of those match the ECU. Thanks for the content!

[@RollingRoadEFI]

They also completely neglected to think about the wheel itself. Too big of a gap or a defect in the wheel = no signal.

[@TopGoose-bf1mx]

Came here to say this, or at least something similar. Gotta make sure the reluctor is correct as well as the distance between the two. I swapped a 4.6 from an 09 F150 into an SN95 a few years ago and had constant cam position faults. Turned out the cam reluctor on the F150 had several more “teeth”.

[@mandrakejake]

You're both probably right, but the custom ECU will be far more tolerant of weak sensor outputs than stock. They can be tuned to be road compliant too, even having switchable maps

[@Baseball4mnstarz]

@@mandrakejakemight not be the right place to ask but what makes custom ones street illegal

[@rfrbz1269]

Some notes when testing wiring integrity, multimeter leads can splay the terminals in the connector and prevent good contact. You can also have bad wiring that passes a continuity check, but doesn't carry current when loaded. If you wire in a lightbulb to load test the wiring, you will be able to basically 100% confirm good wiring. It would be really cool if you guys tried using an oscilloscope to view the crank sensor pattern since this will show you the waveform that the ECU sees and you can see if you have signal, bad exciter ring, etc

[@FG-418]

Also won't show a contact that is intermittent under vibration. Can't fully take it off the list without shaking the wiring from one side to the other. And I agree a cheap handheld oscilloscope is really useful for these type of sensor debugging. Also the built-in oscilloscope in the Haltech Elite series is great for figuring out what the ECU is really seeing.

[@glenjamindle]

Easy tiger, I think this is way too advanced for the Donut team. This a group of guys that damage seals during installation.

[@petergamache5368]

Watching crank/cam position sensors on an oscilloscope can be a lot more informative than a simple ohmmeter test. The scope can tell you if there is a clean signal or a noisy signal - which ECUs (stock or aftermarket) can't interpret.

Their ecu has a trigger scope built in. Very handy.

[@Tombichrist110]

So for the crank position sensor issue, I've heard that newer sensors are having an issue where there is too much gap between the tone ring and the sensor. Also car wizard just did a video about how alot of new parts he's gotten for customer cars are bad right out of the box.

[@rrabatine]

This has me a little afraid to buy any newer car. After Covid I feel like quality on a lot of items, especially electronics, when down.

[@bloodhound1144]

Possible overheating issues: Try filling your system with glycol or straight water. Using traditional antifreeze raises the freezing temperature but lowers the boiling point of the water it's mixed with. In your climate, there's no need to worry about freezing temperatures. You have a small grill on that car. That will restrict air flow. Since you aren't pushing wind at highway speeds, you'll have to draw in more air. Try releasing more air toward the firewall (directly ahead of the door hinges or further back on the hood toward the windshield). That and having a more aggressive fan.

[@SumerSraih]

THIS is the content I'm here for! More hi /low ( specially the Z:eds ) please

The trick to avoid overheating is 1. Remove thermostat i.e bypass it 2. Use a bigger radiator if it has space, but use aluminum one 3. Use a performance head gasket to avoid quick heating and it will improve your performance too. 4. Check all the clamps to avoid any leakage

[@ImposingDolphin]

I'm really confused on swapping of the rear calipers. With the increase in size, the fluid pressure should remain the same if installed correctly, right? Is there a proportioning valve within the big brake kit that needed adjusting or removal? Were the calipers defective? It also looks like you're using both hands still to throw that handle back. Love the builds! Just very curious, and information other than "not the right brakes" would be appreciated!

[@damienbennet200]

I also thought this. That or the willwoods needed a good bleed and top up of fluid to work to their fullest. Who knows eh

[@obiesunstreak2409]

100% can not say how happy I am to see you swap over to the LINK ecu. I myself am a LINK customer (04 Subaru Forester XT pushing 425/400). Very happy with their customer service, how easy their software is to use, and just the overall ease of the product to install. As to the "not street legal" thing, that is ONLY for CA. No other state has problems with aftermarket ECU's. I've had no issues at all with mine, and in fact am converting another car up from the OEM ECU to a LINK (2006 legacy GT wagon) Last, the overheat problem: Ive had the same issue with a LS swap before. you may need to go to a 3 core radiator with a push fan setup (fans in front rather than behind it), and swap out the thermostat for a restrictor plate (smooth plate drilled with many holes to flow more, but still hold back enough to allow water pressure to be optimal). Going to a plate means having to retune some for your cold start, and having to sit 5-10 minutes with it idling to warm up. Add 5 min if on E85/e98

[@OllamhDrab]

For the sake of not spending 100K for something you can't drive except on track, I do wonder why they didn't seem to just try a fresh factory ECU if the other one was just corrupted. There really need to be some less-out-of date emissions laws, though, cause especially the older stuff gets, factory isn't even better that way, especially if factory is *worn out.*

[@obiesunstreak2409]

@@OllamhDrab CA smog laws/CARB is not about clean air. It is a money making scheme for the state, that also doubles as a way to control the populations actions. If it was about smog/emissions then they would only judge a car on what comes out the tailpipe, not what equipment it has on it.

I'm not sure where to post this so I'll just post it here. Every time I watch a Donut video I always feel like I want more, like a longer cut. I think there's something to be said about these relatively short cuts; they definitely keep the energy high and keep the viewer engaged for the entire duration. The editing itself is great, the material is presented in a cohesive beginning-middle-end kind of way. But, it would be great to have an option for people who want a more extended cut that goes into more detail, especially on the troubleshooting parts. Another example I can think of right now is the video a few weeks ago about the drive in the off-road camper that broke. That obviously took days to shoot but we only got to see like 15 minutes of the entire excursion, including the follow-up to rescue it from where it broke down. It was entertaining but there must have been a lot of content left out that I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing. I don't know, maybe get on Nebula and put the longer format stuff there if you're worried about the impact longer videos will have on what the YT algorithm does with the channel.
