Machining Parts For The Intake Manifold! - Ford V10 4V Ep. 6

[@lcplwilliamsryanm]

I still can't get around the fact that you guys are doing this in your garage. What an epic build series!

[@GsFoxbody]

pipe down marine. The real branch has entered the chat

here’s a hint june 14th 1775

[@amundsen575]

great job, nice drawings, trumpet spinning sweet , looks like you could have used a mandrel inside the tube to get a better grip!

[@biy_buildityourself]

The mandrel is a great idea! We definitely should have used one 😅

[@Levibetz]

Oh man this is going to make GREAT induction noise

[@W.A.J.J.]

You are as dangerous as I am. No gloves lol. Also some shots no glasses and some shots glasses. It’s as legit and real as it gets. I mean this is better than any car show I’ve ever seen on Discovery. Legit binge watching. Plus, I’m a Ford guy. I have a 5.4 DOHC, 351 Cleveland and 4.9 I6. Love it guys. ❤

[@HDVisionsMedia]

Be careful with those sleeves when using the lathe, they are unforgiving lol. Great work guys.

[@gpatty6538]

I was just going to say that

[@Keasbeysknight]

Great to see the fusion of utility of the 3d printer. That angled cutting jig was a great idea.

[@weldmachine]

Neverending solving problems during this build. Also a Big👍👍to the video editing in this series. It's definitely more work than most people assume.

[@johnherbold6539]

I’ve been fantasizing about a 6.8 Triton build, with various heads (ported 3v, Trickflow TW 2v heads cut and welded, 4v as well) so it’s cool to see someone do the last one. What are you guys gonna do with the weak split pin crank? A custom short throw crank would be cool

[@biy_buildityourself]

We plan on using the stock crank. It is forged and people have made good power on it so we plan on reusing it.

[@maaseyracer]

This is such a relatable build, love the concept and commitment. Everyone should own a lathe. I would also love to know more about how you built that flow bench, I have a project I am working on where a bench like yours would be handy.

[@stephenpettinger1]

Hear hear on the flow bench tutorial

[@mrwolsy3696]

Lovely old cnc mill.

[@frederickhahn1086]

I know I’m a bit late but I highly recommend using a little wd40 when machining aluminum. I’m not sure why but there is no better lubricant for cutting/milling aluminum. Makes for clean edges and prevents the aluminum from galling and tearing (especially on softer grades) and prevents chip build up in your tooling which can save you a lot of headaches. Just my two cents from working in a machine shop and doing a lot of aluminum on lathes and mills

[@TheRealCCSmith]

I'm impressed 👍 you guys are very talented! Gives me hope for the younger generations 😂

[@yoyodynepropulsion.systems]

Who are you guys? It seems like you've had a lot of experience in all this. This isn't your first go 'round. Very impressive.

[@loganmurray6081]

Love it boys. This is my favorite project on KZbin right now.

[@zod-engineering-welding]

Phenomenal work, guys. I have a 10yr old Ford Modular V8 project that I need to resurrect, and this gives me inspiration. If you guys were close to me, I would have let you use my 400A TIG welder so you wouldn't have had to struggle with that AHP and that air-cooled torch :)

[@biy_buildityourself]

The torch and leads did get very hot welding those heads! You should definitely get that V8 project rolling! 🤟🏽

[@RhoadsChristopher]

Making those stacks looked pretty cool. Nice work.

[@stevenhigginbottom5261]

You guy's are doing great. Super cool idea, and even more inspiring.

[@RJon2006]

I was wondering if this video was ever coming! Keep it up guys!

[@freddywsn3447]

Finally another episode. This is the project on youtube im most hyped about atm. Great content and work. You dont need more or less than it is right now.

[@donaldspeck9212]

You have got to build me a custom intake manifold for my 09 5.4 3v

[@sa230e]

You guys are doing a great job. Always been curious about the Triton V10. Excited to see how it turns out!

[@gafrers]

Fantastic work.

[@ethanwild3301]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@kepic8979]

Inspiring work 👍

[@benrobinson9136]

SICK INTAKE BTW!!

[@rafaellastracom6411]

Beautiful, beautiful project. I´m a bit jealous, the good kind. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun. One question for you guys, the intake plenum volume, is it going to be enough to maintain adequate manifold pressure? It just seems like it might be a smidge small to my eye.

[@danphillips2461]

so good guys. best content on yt imo.

[@rotaryperfection]

I know this is old but don't ever use a cutoff wheel to cut aluminum you're going to weld. The little bits of the wheel will impregnate into the cut area, and this will affect your welds, causing pin holes when these bits start to float up into the weld puddle. I learned this the hard way years ago while fabricating my aluminum oil pan and fuel swirl pot.

[@TexTheMaster]

Very interesting! Lots of skill and talent here. Whats the length of the runners?

[@grandpafabio]

Fantastic work guys! I'm blown away that you're even attempting a project like this - hats off to you both for your imagination, skills and tenacity. Have you found an option yet for camshafts, or will you be BIY'ing on your own?

[@biy_buildityourself]

Thank you so much! It means a lot coming from someone with a build as insane as your AWD ‘37 Chevy!! As for the cams, we are working with a shop in Montana to machine custom billet cores. It took a while to find a shop that could do it to our BIYed drawings, few months later, they are finally being cut as we speak! We hope to have the cams in our hands early next year! 🤞🏽

[@grandpafabio]

@@biy_buildityourself good news - I'll definitely be following along as your project progresses. And excellent work on the backyard flowbench - are you both in a Mech Eng program at school?

[@leslienordman8718]

A good, informative episode! The audio mix, however, was a little off. The music track was far too loud, or else the voice track was far too soft. I had to keep varying the sound level on my computer to keep the sound within a comfortable range.

[@Jmauer]

That is a big ass engine

[@biy_buildityourself]

Yes it is lol

[@williambailey309]

This is bad ass. Ive always fantasized about putting one of these v10s in something. Have you decided what it will go into yet? Would be cool in a 60s mustang

[@biy_buildityourself]

Try again 🙊🙊

[@Fordtruckfan89]

Always wondered if someone had tried this. Well done. Are y'all using solidworks?

[@frederickhahn1086]

They are though I can’t tell what version. I’ve got SW and if you know how to use it it’s amazing although if you’re a noob like me it’s equally frustrating lol

[@brysonshires9742]

I wonder what the v10 power record is. I bet you guys will be number 1

[@johnherbold6539]

Some guy on a forum posted a dyno of 700-ish horsepower. Not sure if it was wheel or net horsepower though

[@Levibetz]

@@johnherbold6539 That's gotta be turbo though right?

[@johnherbold6539]

@@Levibetz yep it was for a turbo excursion

[@mchristr]

Richard Holdener's 5.4 Navigator engine dyno test got 444 hp and 380 lb.ft. of torque at 6500 and 5200 rpm respectively. Extrapolating for the larger 6.8 V10 produces numbers of 560 hp and 479 lb.ft. Using the torque/rpm formula should push the horsepower to about 730 naturally aspirated at 8,000 rpm. That is theoretical but certainly possible.

[@davids8481]

and i thought stress cracks might show wwhen forming trumpets with thin wall alum

[@benrobinson9136]

CAN WE PLEASE SEE A VIDEO ON THE MARK 8!!??

[@biy_buildityourself]

Haha we’ll try and find some time to do a walk around and do a video on it in the future!

[@tigwelding123]

💯👍💪🙏

[@Aheitchoo]

Are you guys purposely not showing us the car on the top of the lift? I'm guessing it's a Lincoln? But it kinda looks like an S14 240sx

[@biy_buildityourself]

You got it right the second time! It's a 95 240sx.

[@Aheitchoo]

@@biy_buildityourself well then I must petition you to make it a V10 240sx

[@alexl5649]

Why not just run the plastic intake manifold? A lot of vehicles, including most 4.6's come with plastic intake manifolds.

[@biy_buildityourself]

The plastic one we 3D printed was for fitment purposes only. It’s a bunch of thin PLA pieces glued together.

[@BP-kc3dj]

Can we donate or invest in this project?

[@biy_buildityourself]

Thanks for the interest! At this time we’re not planning on taking any donations but if we do in the future, we will definitely let you guys know!

[@Flitzer514]

You would get much better results if you didn't use plywood to hold up you parts.

[@shocka007]

😂

[@mchristr]

Why don't you call one of the big name intake fab companies and have it built? It will only cost you 5 or 6 grand. Joking of course. You guys are putting on a clinic. Thanks.

[@GreeceUranusPutin]

Why do your vids have the sounds of cats being tortured throughout?

[@classic1981]

As impressive as this is (and it really is!), I think the wall thikness of your inlet is to thin

[@dave21]

Amazing work.
