Going Overboard with the 240sx... Budget 5.3 Build Pt. 6

[@3point1.2]

Just ordered a Z sticker. I've had a severe back injury and I've been stuck in a bed since December. Watching you has really kept me entertained the last 6 months. Hope you find your motivation. Sometimes progress seems slow but prepping the engine bay will pay off in the end when it looks so clean. Love the content

[@3point1.2]

Thanks for the sticker man, looks great. Just got to find a place for it. Don't want it ruined on my toolbox

[@seikoja]

Bro u worry us man.....if ever get frustrated just go back n watch ur very first video....sometimes we get so focused on the end goal we dont realize how far we have made it. Trust me brother that young youtuber who started this channel is very proud of the youtuber u are today

[@dookiebooger9967]

Best comment!!

[@beanbagboi1804]

You’re gonna make me cry

[@A_T88]

New Merch. New video. Cube said it... today was a good day. good stuff bro.

[@collarbonecam]

There’s a reason I hold your channel in high regards man, cause your out here putting in work and pushing for your goals. You hold yourself to a higher standard and I’ve got immense respect for that. I wish I had half the drive that you’ve got man, and I’m gonna work toward that. Keep up the awesome work!

[@fitelite2405]

Your a very big reason why I hold my s14 to such a high standard for my build. Your a guy that gets frustrated and struggles like me and I can respect that. Definitely buying a something to help out. You've come a long way from the beginning and I really hope I get to meet you one day or let you review my car when it's all done. You just seem like a great dude that has a lot going for him and I love the honest content you make. You think you don't have stuff to show. But being transparent and being consistent with us is what we want. Your not buying a super car, your not restoring a truck, or boat (no disrespect to any other KZbinr, I commend that talent because I couldn't even begin to understand those processes) but you have content and your doing your best and that's all we can ask for. Thank you again!

[@Revo900]

It’s so funny to see you frustrated doing this work, to me it’s an art and you’re really good at it man. So many people would just sand it down and rattle can it or send it to a paint shop. Keep your head up brotha, this is shaping up to be insanely clean. You’ll have two show cars sitting in your driveway soon enough.

[@zaprindeianov8872]

Kalvin honestly is one of the top car channels on KZbin honestly no one does what this guy does, the hardwork and everything he does in his little garage wait until he gets a proper one big things will happen👌

[@deliziosetiefkuhlkost2463]

We need you back man

[@nokturnal212]

just reading through the comments and man it's awesome how positive the vibes are, don't really get to see that in many channels

[@GRMonty]

Always go overboard on the 240. It's the car that's pretty much gotten you to where you are now.

[@JosephSamsor]

Who cares what engine is going into this thing when this much attention to detail and effort is being put into it? Beats bolting in an sr and calling it a day imo.

[@Wordenofthenorth]

Dude! This is my new favorite channel, just found you, I’m buying a 240 this summer and starting from the ground up on it. You’re a rare breed going step by step with the way you do things. Love it!

[@cool_breezee]

That little bit of bird chatter in the background from 04:38 - 05:30 was wonderfully gnarly.

[@savethesi5224]

You got this bro card coming along. This is all the progress and work most people don’t see but it’s worth it

[@jakevoysey9192]

hey man hope ur doing alright, i know its only been 2 weeks but me and my mates miss the videos already :) motivation comes and goes but 100,000 people love the shit you do, so let that be a reminder to how far youve come and how clean your work is!

[@Grimnest]

Kalvin it might be time to take a break from KZbin for awhile, bro. It seems like it's really getting to you and causing a lot of stress. Just take a few weeks off, man. We'll be here when you come back!

[@BossGarage]

When i start sanding is the same thing. I get demotivated but we have to always stay positive ! If you don't give up, you can reach anything you want. Success !

[@lxndvnn]

I’m putting a 5.3 in my 240 so it’s good to watch what you’re doing and learn from it.. keep up the awesome videos man👌

[@z32mike]

Lando S13 damn that’s actually sick asf

[@MultiBluedog123]

Plan on doing the same soon good luck with your build bro !

[@lxndvnn]

jackson boyle thanks. good luck on yours too!

[@Z32orDIe]

@19:25 Much respect to you my friend hats off. Legit you are the only you tuber I have seen who works out of their own garage and does work to the quality of standards and that I expect from myself. I also always tell myself I'm going to under do a build because I always over do them and to much of my surprise every single time I always end up doing more than I wanted to lol but the truth is people like us that do that stuff we get the credit. Those subtle details make all the difference my friend. Keep doing what you're doing shit is sick

[@markopolo123688]

Glad to see this video go up man! I know how easy it is to get discouraged to finish a large project. I regret letting mine get out of hand and selling it, I won't forgive myself for not finishing what I started. You're truly an inspiration to us who have and want projects of our own. Your determination is contagious. Best of luck with this build!

[@Soneric1010]

Kalvin brother you doing well keep it up just have a little faith and a little bit more time and you got this. 💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@G2GBuilds]

Great video.. Keep it up! The beat on the the timelapse is fire! 🔥

[@nokturnal212]

may not look like much in camera but it's a ton of work that's been put into the engine bay, you definitely got a whole lot more patience than I do for that type of work. keep bringing the awesome content bro, you motivate us with it, so I hope you stay motivated

[@Havok412]

Literally grinding! The final product is gonna be legit!

[@Henigames]

No pressure my man keep your head up and in the game and always remember why you started!

[@DjVioxy]

if you section out the subframe it'll come in handy if you end up chuckin' an rb30/25 in because the rb30 blocks are a bit taller, so it'd be a step already done ! love your stuff man

[@elvispresley3327]

Patience is key... GET THIS LS S13 DONE...i need to see it running I might do one myself

[@justingreen1758]

Bro much needed love for her omg I miss the 240 ❤️

[@2JZ_240]

After following your channel for a few years now I finally tried chick-fel-a & it was the shit, had to drive an hour but discovered some badass roads along the way, my taste buds appreciate all that you do 👌

[@dustinfoote4253]

@kalvin hey man, a oil pan from the 01-06 GTO LS1/Ls2 works well for a 240 swap because it’s front sump. I know it works in an s14, should work in your S13

[@lxndvnn]

Dustin Foote oh really? Imma look in to that

[@JakeeyOG]

i feel you bro you have all this hype when tearing apart the engine bay and then its get to this point and you just wanna give up but trust me when your finish it will be so worth it! im almost at the part of painting my engine bay and i just cant be bothered but ima push on and ima be so stoked when its finished!!!! love the content keep pushing homie you got this just like the 300zx

[@foxumall6542]

Keep at it kalvin you'll love it when you've done it keep up the good work stay positive 👍

[@stiliqn007]

u know how it is Kalv. If u're gonna do something, u mind as well do it right. And u're doing it right on the engine bay. Keep up the good work.

[@brettcaskey1661]

Keep it up man! You deserve 1m so go take it.

[@aitoblitz]

looks so good already

[@sr20det0]

Dude keep up the hard work. I know it’s gonna come out sick

[@abel5925]

Wow how do you have all these tools!

[@TyRoxYaMan]

Bay is looking fire!!!!!!🔥

[@Brentpn]

i get the exact opposite of you man. I get super motivated at the start and middle of a project, but then when it is nearing the end super unmotivated uninterested and it sits for a while sometimes ages until i manage to kick myself up the arse and get it done.

[@SLS859]

I’ll ask again how the hell do you get that hood to stay up without a arm?

[@tink_]

i remeber you were stuck at like 70k and now youre at 118k keep it goin pls

[@TDRcustoms]

Keep up the good content dude love your channel and how much you have grown

[@sleepersportlabs]

Who made the music mix... I need it fr fr .. sounds good

[@JTAMEDIA]

Coming along nicely hard work always pays off keep it up ................ my grind to my first 1k subs just started lol ...... can’t wait to see u start drifting that baby

[@Pr34ch]

whats the name of the kickin tunes at 17:19 my guy

[@Pr34ch]

found it for anyone interested the song is called ( Downtown Funk by Dj Quads )

[@alexdeonarine6717]

Mint man👍👍 Question Can i put rb25 parts on a rb20 engine

[@eric4real9]

I respect the hussle but stickers n posters aint it mane... drop some tees n sweats or something bro.... branding aint gotta be with a car or your name … think out the box bro...

[@DeftIyRL]

Profit margins are probably a little tighter with clothing, and cost much more to produce. Hes probably not at a stage yet where he can afford to launch any major clothing lines/drops (without hindering his funding for the builds).

[@dcerioclt9942]

@@DeftIyRL yeah, to make substantial money on clothes as merch, you have to have a sizable production rate and flow and have a decently sized inventory OR a very large and loyal following who would instantly buyout 100 shirts like Tjs fans do, no shade

[@Curlyheadrae24]

Dude you good? You haven’t posted in awhile

[@dustinfoote4253]

Hell yeah killing it man

[@straightcircle4116]

Just curious, where are you at in New York?

[@collinector8821]

PAPERBOND! Love your music selection homie, Keep up the Bangin vids!

[@456rajiv]

Keep the content coming... Keep up the good work man!!!!

[@JuanCarlos-gk4gg]

You won a new sub. 👍🏻🔰🚘🚗

[@MrRoven009]

Stay positive home boi you got tis

[@hydrolics5449]

Awesome man, Keep up the dope content!

[@juanyoi87]

I hit the same point with the motivation. Money and time really doesn't make it easy

[@e_s_p_rracing8634]

Shouldnt you left the hole in the lowest part of those sheets for water drain?

[@tylerschick4154]

It's not a sealed compartment so it'll just evaporate quickly its not really a big deal.

[@CloseIy]

Love it Kalvin! Keep up the awesome content.

[@rubenvega3923]

how’d you learn to do all this

[@dohhog0429]

Does have two 240s

[@Jaydin1197]

I think what might put your content on the next level is if you start getting involved with that your area offers and put a creative twist on the editing. I love seeing the build process but it gets kinda dry. Unless you're junkyard LS swapping a huracan, it's hard to keep the numbers climbing

[@minicossie]

Really nice work, Kalvin! Loving the content you’re putting out rn👌🏻 Just wonderering why you need two big holes in the right side of the engine bay. Shouldnt one be enough for the intercooler piping?

[@alexmartin448]

Julian Rosenvold one used to be for the intake on the on turbo and one was inter cooling piping

[@kermit9981]

Thad car can put a 2jz?

[@Z32orDIe]

If you don't want to invest the time to film those smaller jobs I completely understand. However those small jobs for someone like me are an awesome watch for 2 reasons 1 I'm stuck at work and I wish I was working on a car instead. To I have never done quill overs on an RX8 so seeing that done satisfies some other deep urge to be working on cars. So even if it's not a giant grandiose build I personally am intrested in watching stuff like that just because I've never done coil overs on that specific car. If you make videos like that I will be down to watch them however I do prefer these bigger builds its more on par with what I do and what I enjoy however I love to see all the content. Especially when it comes down to putting in work that's what I love to see the most. Just my personal opinion however. Keep at it broskie!

[@shawnphillips5608]

What blow off valve you have on your z

[@jajabinksGG]

1:40 I’m gonna take my welder to the old town road I’m gonna weld till I can’t no more , I got the 240 in the back

[@JosephSamsor]

I haven’t watched the vid yet but figured I’ll ask for some advice. I may have the chance to get a complete l94 drivetrain from an Escalade. Trans, axles, diffs, whatever the whole thing. My question is, is it a good engine for a swap into a 63 c10? I’m worried about cylinder deactivation and afm. Is it worth dealing with all that and then how hard would it be to convert it to manual?

[@tannertyrik6251]

Joseph Samsor not hard just got to get a different tranny and a swap kit and get an aftermarket ECU so u wont have to worry abt nun of those GM STUFF

[@alexfoulks7509]

How much were your seats in your 240sx

[@MyNameIssaSimon]

You should always have a spair roll of flux wire in the garage for times in need 👍

[@user-nk5tz8ox1t]

There was no part 5?

[@thecarguymorales6342]

Cool content bro! Keep doing it🤙🏻

[@JasonCabrera]

Love anything you do keep up malli

[@Steviefyea]

Is it possible to unwrap? Or did you do some sanding and such on the 240?

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Childish Car Enthusiast he did some minor bodywork to it so while it wouldn’t be 100% dull and sanded, it certainly wouldn’t be super pretty. However the blue is awesome he should leave it on there for a while still

[@Steviefyea]

Matt L, the blue does look awesome but I feel the car feels more soulful with the red

[@moisesalcala7450]

Danng. Should’ve made the r8 coilover install a separate video. Anyways. Fire channel🔥

[@victorinho8673]

that boy kalvin

[@idontpaytaxes6250]

I usually look up pictures and vids of other peoples builds to keep me motivated on mine sometimes (:

[@sirsyorrz]

looks good man keep up the effort :)

[@antonmvm]

BRO DONT STOP MAKING VIDEOS PLEASE!!! Maybe it helps if you paint the engine bay finally , it gained so much motivation for your zupra.. damn , and turn on some ads in the videos like 10 or something, we'll watch! maybe make more ref links with amazon of your products you use.. like everything, from bits and tools, welder and such.. damn i cant live in peace if you stop .. get some people around you, maybe it helps too .. think positive dude and yea make some hoodies !!! i would looooove to buy some! greets from germany dude

[@janjonsson88]

I love the old intro too. pls dont stop making videos.

[@simonsaid1]

Budget build 5.3, consider a non turbo z32 transmission and adapter plate!

[@thatgrey.e4627]

BRO THAT MUSIC BO2 DAYS BABY LMAOOO

[@lindsaymccullock1176]

Gto is front sump

[@Tonyk24]

Red bay

[@MyNameIssaSimon]

Don’t wait so long when you’re about to sand the filler. Sand it as soon as possible, if you let it sit for a day it hardens so much and takes time to sand. It should sand like hard cheese

If you ever really feel burnt out, just do some other stuff. Sometimes, you need to take your mind off of what you are doing that frustrates you just to get motivated. Soon, all your hard work gonna be paid off

Bro it wasent just putting coilovers in a car that could of ben a how to vid think about it how many videos are there on installing coils on a R8? Not alot that coulda ben a high viewed video if it was a civic thats differnt but any how to on a R8 will deffently get a ton of views
