Hydro E-Brake Installed!? RA24 Toyota Celica Project

[@norcoca]

You see that skill with the Dremel? It takes a Surgeon to be that precise!

[@SupercarSeany]

I'm new to this channel, but Ken is a natural. Dude should have his own channel.

[@mrclown7469]

Wow! I thought Ken was dead, like 2Pac is. But he's still alive, like 2Pac is.

[@MyloShwayze]

Can't believe this channel doesn't have much more subscribers, but at the same time, maybe that's a good thing. Keeps it original and awesome. Keep up the good work guys. Loving the videos.

[@speedacademy]

Need more subs to keep the lights on!!

[@johnsumner2987]

6:00 I think every person that has ever worked with brake hard lines that had to make a flared end has at one time or another forgot to put the fitting on before flaring. LOL I know I have.

[@tomwagemans1872]

John Sumner Been there done that :-)

[@marc9283]

oh yeah Ken is back! will there be an update on his FD soon? really love that thing and id like to hear her BRAAAAP again

[@speedacademy]

We'll have an engine build update soon on his Bridgeport engine and then we'll do some track testing with it this summer.

[@marc9283]

oh thank you guys!

[@psycho-nutkase9233]

i want one of those style's of hydro's for my fwd Celica , not only for whipping J-Turns and such but for parking too

[@speedacademy]

DOOO ITT!

[@doug774]

Cant wait this is finished, would love to see this in the flesh YAAAAYYYYY KEN IS BACK

[@BobPegram]

I gotta say this! I think doing something like competitive builds with the MCM boys would be far more appropriate than the MCM RoadKill one. You seem far more compatible than the folks from the So Cal drag racing scene. It also amuses me that you guys come from the land of snow and ice, while that stuff is entirely unknown for the MCM guys, unless they travel outside of Australia. Even in colder southern Australia, there never is snow. No "Americans" (like me), just guys from two members of the Commonwealth, the Aussies versus the Canucks or vice versa as you might prefer. Keep growing your viewership!

[@speedacademy]

Agreed! We'd love to do that just need to have another million subs for them to notice us.

[@pirracruz]

need more of ken

[@brainneeded]

i missed ken

[@VEDEMRACING99]

Nothing like a Surgeons precision... the ebrake set up looks like it’ll fit the bill on our 2jz drift Celica build! Great content as always!

[@tekniq511]

Ahahaha "you know me, chop chop suey". I'm Asian and about died from laughter on this. Good to see you Ken, welcome back!

[@R1j0hn]

I can't say if I was the only one to mention the catch-can issue, but good on you for fixing it !

[@MuadDib1402]

8:12 Missed opportunity for an Airplane clip! We love Ken Wagan.

[@MattGreenland]

Yes, Ken is back!!!! Can we please see more on his RX7, even if you think it's boring, the car is super interesting!

[@speedacademy]

Yup, we'll have more on it this summer.

[@k23turbo80]

Perfect rim for the car guys, good job!

[@upgradeNEVER]

Those wheels are DOPE 😍 They look absolutely perfect on the car!

[@jordanlewis3790]

y'know i was just watching the bad obsession motorsports project binky. thought it would be a cool little funny project like the MCM mini with the b16 but noooo i was mistaken that guy goes to the next level

[@Fordman7575]

He goes way beyond the next level!! He goes right to the penthouse!

[@Xyrkul]

Yay! Great to see Ken again!!

[@thebrugzy]

might wanna check which way those lines go around guys... usually the line that comes out at a 45 degree angle goes to calipers, line that comes out at 90 degrees goes to either the master or the fluid res. if using twin caliper system.

[@shiftyrx7]

Stephen Brugmans thank you! Ill have a look at it again, should be easy enough just to switch it.

[@joshduff9367]

What this man says is correct the lines go the opposite way on a inline hydro

[@firestartercanti6636]

I'm looking at that same hydro brake for my project. The existing one that came in my car is cheap and in a bad location, so I'm going to get the Sikky one and try to hide it under my center console next to the original cable e-brake. trying to keep the interior as clean looking as possible, while keeping the functionality. oh and I'm super jealous of this build, I love Celicas (except for the 7th gen).

[@CZeroMedia]

Hi, my name is Ken. LMAO

[@Limeayy]

EYYY ITS CZERO

[@CZeroMedia]

haha yoooooo

[@defusionus]

I know you too Czeromedia. Now get back to V8 swapping ur FD. Lol

[@Aiello_]

Moose spec handbrake! and i really like when Ken The Hardline Surgeon show up, we need more Ken!

[@defusionus]

Welcome back Ken. Been missing yah buddy!

[@webstergough3379]

great work Ken ,good to see you back operating :-). I have fitted a hydraulic handbrake to my car and I think you need to check the way you have piped the cylinder , they work opposite to the way you think ie the line from the front of the car goes to the back of the cylinder. the flat horizontal area is where you would fit the resoviour if your not doing a pass thru system.

[@shiftyrx7]

Webster Gough thank you! Yeah ill take the heat on this one, should be easy enough to switch lines or make new ones if i need to.

[@smoke9975]

You could use a spring pin that goes through the handle and the base so that it locks the hydro handle up ( putting pressure on the system) and being a spring pin it will only re engage when the hydro is pulled up in the position that you want it to act as a handbrake and when you want to release just pull the pin back and it will release the handle into no holding mode.

[@PoorManMods]

Hell yeah I got a SIKKY hydro brake in my MK3 too and love it. Two things though, I believe you have the ports mixed up. The rear most port on the master in the IN and the front most fitting is the OUT. Also in my experience hydro brakes do not work well as parking brakes, even if you use a locking mechanism the master will lose pressure over time and then your car will start to roll, ask me how i know lol. Keep up the good work!

[@speedacademy]

We do have the ports mixed up, good eye! Thanks for that, and good to know about it not working well as a parking brake. We'd definitely only use it that way for short stops at The Stag Shop.

[@PoorManMods]

Speed Academy No problem I'm glad I was able to help you out! Short stops at the shop shouldn't be an issue. Keep up the good work!

[@dylan9768]

wow you guys did a really good job on this! it refreshing as most of these style videos are made with no mechanical knowledge and they just make a mess of thing, at least they are getting out and giving it a go i guess.

[@speedacademy]

Appreciate the kind words

[@antbymcnair4297]

best episode for Connie yet!

[@karljay7473]

I've got those same flares on my 71, I hope they do a full blend when they do the body work instead of the exposed fastener on the flares.

[@_Greasyzoku_]

That exhaust looks mighty close to that rear coilover! You need that NASA gold tape!!!

[@sk8seddon]

bungy cord the ebrake up for parking use, have it set up like that in my drift car and can leave on a slight incline over night no issues.

[@xozindustries7451]

That's great, when your drive shaft lets loose, at least you won't have any brakes either, good plan!

[@_chewwyy]

YAYY for KEN! Missing some FD content :(

[@RichardLangis]

+1 for Project BINKY!

[@PK-R]

That hydro looks sickkkk!!! Proper clean!

[@Crankaholic]

Love the progress, this is an awesome build!

[@speedacademy]

Thank you!

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

That style of brake handle fits the Car well! The placement is money too. Just use a bungy cord to hold the hydro on, motionautotv style lol

[@bintangsena2249]

YAAAAY KEN SWAGAN

[@EvilCreedy]

Love the bad obsession mug!!

[@DBatty]

Version 2. Perfect 👌🏻

[@pFbSpecV]

I cant wait to get my sikky hand brake for my galant!

[@jamest5149]

As I mentioned to Adam LZ, these are hydraulic hand brakes, they don't use water so can't be Hydro! 'Hydro' is combining form meaning “water,” used in the formation of compound words like hydroplane; hydrogen; Hydropower etc

[@speedacademy]

Hydro E-brake = short form for Hydraulic E-brake... I get what you're saying but you're being a little too picky

[@bcab7955]

Ken's a cool dude, good to see him again. Will there be a beginning of the season update to his FD?

[@speedacademy]

Yup, lots of updates on his FD this summer including the bridgeport engine build.

[@DirtyTriniDog]

loving the disco music

[@darklorddylan1316]

I'm still gonna send it.

[@Robonza]

Nice job, i want one of those drift hand brakes too. I am pretty sure you cannot use them as a parking brake as they will not hold pressure for extended time. You can always prove me wrong. Just beware your car might roll away one night when you are sleeping haha,

[@speedacademy]

Ya we asked Sikky about it and they don't include a locking mechanism on their hydro e-brakes because if there was a small leak in the system the car could roll away. We don't plan on using it as a parking brake for extended periods, but we may still rig something up so we can use it as a parking brake in a pinch.

[@Rlindagem]

Just Giver boys !!!

[@infamousjdp]

Ken Wagon has gone Super Saiyan.

[@lukes6335]

🔥 obsession garage cup.

[@Chopped86]

I thought about you guys when I was watching Super Troopers 2 last night. Please incorporate more Tim Horton.

[@speedacademy]

Haha Super Troopers 2 is awesome!

[@jdmDC2ftw]

What's more rare? The rust-free Celica Or An Asian Surgeon with an awesome beard?

[@TheDutchGarage]

Please guys! Replace all the old brake lines.

[@Spider_Gooch]

Are you guys gonna cut the bolts on the other wheels so you can rotate the tires?

[@kevinbowers3917]

I love some project binky

[@cameronyoung2004]

Fablife ftw you guys rock

[@BobPegram]

So how can you use that as a parking brake? I worry too much about leaks, I guess. That Celica is an odd choice for a fun sporty car, because if memory serves, it was an under powered, under steering dog when new. I'm sure you will make a "silk purse" out of it.

[@mondomoleno.3404]

More Ken! Who happens to be good at cutting things... Like it's his job or something... :P Serious question: Is there going to be an interior with carpets and a head liner in this car, or is it staying bare metal?

[@speedacademy]

Going with some minimal carpet forsure.

[@echannel1018]

Why didn't you just reduce the lip on the rear wheels? Then you can use the 10 spacer and keep a normal parking brake?

[@randytrevor3935]

I hope you used flex line from the body to the axle .....

[@speedacademy]

Yes sir!

[@deweberis2709]

I though Ken Wagon was gona bend the hard lines like the 007 villain in the Corcovado Bond... biting it.

[@alwintheskateboarder]

Oh hi Ken

[@STEELERS743]

The Asian surgeon is back....I would love to hear what the subby fans think of Moose

[@speedacademy]

Oh man we would too!

[@MichaelTV44]

It's been a long time since Ken has been in the video he still has his RX7 back at the chicken coop righ.

[@twentylush]

MichaelTV44 He uses it as a tractor now lmao

[@THREATLEVELMIDNIGHT69420]

When Dave says sell-ica then sa-leek-a right after

[@mapwheel00]

When will the Ken Wagon plushies hit the e-shop?

[@SebastianOutzen]

Can you show us a bit of that e39? Is this where the LS is gonna go?

[@speedacademy]

You will be seeing more of the E39 soon. It may be getting a 2JZ.

[@Biwaqu]

The mysterious asian surgeon is back everybody 😆

[@o0FUZ0o]

Seriously reconsider your spacer to use one that has the hub centric option!

[@speedacademy]

It centers on the studs so its all good.

[@o0FUZ0o]

It's not just the spacer centering, but the rim then missing the fitment to the hub. Relying on the studs to center the wheel will result in wheel vibrations at certain speeds, but will probably be less noticeable due to being on the rear... It all depends on the ID and OD between the hub and the rim, where normally a rim would employ a plastic hub centric ring to mate the two. The spacer often makes the hub centric redundant, so you should option the spacer with the correct hub centric fitment to ensure the rim fits well still. I used very similar spacers as you've used and this was the problem I came across until I swapped :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3WseKKEYtaAras (video I referenced when looking for my solution)

[@sosoae86]

Jim Carrey scene...I died hahahahahhahahaha!

[@fernandomoreno228]

Ken wagon !!!!!

[@TheAussiefrog]

KEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@McrollaMedola]

That music at the end thooo

[@wiliambanquiter8039]

BAD OBSESSION MUG💯

[@candamo]

hey dave, how are you going to press the buttons on your keypad with your harness on?

[@speedacademy]

That car is so small that we'll be able to reach the keypad just fine.

[@aaronbryan5095]

Time to hear Connie's Beamsy scream like crazy.

[@revolutionday1]

Fucking excellent episode!!!! "You know me; chop~chop suey!"

[@codyheizler7294]

Can you use a Hydro e-brake like a normal e-brake? I always heard that they weren’t made for that. Hence why they use cable instead of hydraulic. I could be wrong.

[@ianm432]

Cody Heizler you can, they won't hold pressure for an extended amount of time as fluid will eventually bypass the seals and line pressure will drop. For what dave is going to do with it will be fine though.

[@codyheizler7294]

Ian McDonald Well there ya go. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@Fordman7575]

Unless there is a leak/break in one of the rear lines! Then you be screwed without a mechanical rear E-brake.

[@speedacademy]

True. We won't park it on the side of a mountain. Just want to have the option to lock it on for short stops at the beer store ;)

[@codyheizler7294]

Speed Academy Ooohhh....gonna get some beer into Connie, huh? Watch out! She looks to be a wild one 😉 insert movie clip (Don’t be a Menace) Marlone Wayans gets his clothes ripped off by that crazy lady lol

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Puzzled on the park brake choice?? (Drift parts)

[@speedacademy]

There could be some drifting in Connie's future...and Speed Academy stickers in your future! Mailing them out this weekend, sorry we've been lagging on that.

[@RobertKohut]

Yahoo!! Did I mention I love stickers...LOL

[@horayman]

Hey Ken, do you know a Marcus George?

[@georgesangster7255]

Sweet mug, but where were the biscuits? Does this mean Ed China will be stopping by? Don't drink too much from that mug if it effects content being released ='(

[@markoz673bajen8]

When Ken met Mary.

[@toddknight1367]

What rear adjustable springs did you guy use????

[@speedacademy]

Fortune Auto AE86 spec

[@1one3_Racing]

How much oil does the internet think is going to blow from a relatively stock NA 4 cylinder?

[@speedacademy]

lol we agree but in the end we have shorter routing and a better slope to the lines, so all good in our books. Any oil pooling in the lines would get blown out at high RPM, but it never hurts to encourage the oil to flow either to the can or back to the engine rather than having a trap in the middle of the lines like we had.

[@BryceandKyle]

I know Ken is a surgeon... But what kind of surgeon is he? Heart, brain, spinal? Brake line? Connie is looking more complete every episode, I want to hear that Beams!

[@twentylush]

Scrapeddd Werkes brake line surgeon

[@revolutionday1]

He's "Ric FLARE*".

[@speedacademy]

He's a fender flare surgeon, as you'll see in a Connie episode soon...

[@deweberis2709]

Was it the 1st time of Dr. Ken Wagon in the new shop?

[@speedacademy]

No, he's been here a bunch of times now. We do miss having him as a shopmate but you guys will still see lots of him on the channel.

[@dsturbovq]

i don't like what u do.. i love it lol

[@speedacademy]

THANK YOU!

[@nickcross7763]

M?;; ml

[@hedlund88]

well racecars have hydros too right for quick turn arounds

[@ramdaftar5180]

What's the disk type on those equip 40's?

[@speedacademy]

A-Disk

[@nicolasbenoit6753]

uh oh. someone is gonna be upset again. * cues footage of Moose breaking keyboard in half *

[@IhsanJayman]

What are those wheels?

[@speedacademy]

Work Wheels Equipe 40

[@DAC087]

Dave's 🎩

[@karljay7473]

One of the biggest issues with custom brakes, is clearing the wheel. WHY did someone build an e-brake adapter that sticks out like that? Knowing that it's for an aftermarket brake system, they should have designed something that doesn't stick out that far.

[@danielquimby9170]

Let Ken move his RX-7 into the garage. We need mo rotary.

[@Limeayy]

0:43 LOL

[@Limeayy]

i hear if you use a hydro e brake it actually could start to leak. I'd rather stick to a mechanical linkage instead for parking and hydro e brakes for drifting.

[@daos3300]

why would it leak?

[@JesusHernandez-xf9ik]

hahaha. "ask me how i know that?"

[@trancextend]

Moose!! he lied!! He lied!! Break em.

[@codyhayesandco.5543]

Hydro brake lines are back to front. Feed from master is the rear hole and feed to rear brakes is the front hole... Dont get the holes mixed up it never ends well 👉👌💩lol

[@speedacademy]

haha, it's like Ken's first girlfriend in high school. No worries, we'll swap em around, thanks for the heads up!
