Radium Cans & Downforce Over Fenders - Project BADASS2000 - EP07

[@lukekindred1999]

Sitting here eating my lunch when a Speed Academy notification comes up 👌

[@KyleTipton.]

It's really coming together now. I can't wait to see this thing banging gears on the track!

[@speedacademy]

+Kyle Tipton Spring cant come soon enough!

[@moto.veloce1371]

PCV is positive crankcase ventilation. According to my auto tech instructor, it's the only emissions device that improves engine function. It uses manifold vacuum to prevent buildup of crankcase pressure and to draw out fumes that could contain fuel vapor.This stops oil from spewing out of engines under crankcase pressure or crankcase explosion from fuel vapor accumulation. You'll probably need to connect that PCV line to a source of vacuum but I'm sure Radium can help you sort all that out. Great video series guys; keep up the good work!

[@speedacademydave]

+moto.veloce1 your teacher is a wise man. It does indeed need vacuum, and that's something we skipped over in the video. We'll address that in the next one!

[@Orfeas_christodoulou]

Great job as always guys!Loving how this is turning out!Keep feeding us MOAR VIDEOS!

[@speedacademy]

+Orfeas Christodoulou Thanks! The S2k is on hiatus until injectors show up but in the mean time there are other videos on the way!

[@drift_time]

BASASS2000 will look sweeeeeet!

[@speedacademy]

+Drift Review Thanks!

[@wreckinplankton]

this build has already gone so far! I'm loving the direction it's headed

[@speedacademy]

+wreckinplankton Thanks!

[@victoroliveira3256]

Great video boys always a fun time watching you two dudes work on cars, those fenders are awesome I can't wait till they come back from paint, great job guys have a great weekend.

[@speedacademy]

+Victor “Bigsexy” Oliveira Thanks a lot!

[@BlakesGarage]

I like that is has that dip stick on it. Thats a very clean design.

[@asomedeadmou5]

Blake's Garage short throw dipstick

[@DriverModPlus]

never fail to disappoint with having fun and building a fast car. Always enjoy watching you guys. -Imauni

[@speedacademy]

+BRIKKgoesHAM Thank you! Glad you find our content entertaining.

[@atraxr603]

Oh that will look great guys! Can't wait to see it mounted.

[@Sim2Real.]

52 thousand subscribers... C[mon! You guys deserve way more thant that!

[@smthsn5610]

+Alberto Pettine share

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

Such a wonderful looking car once you guys got a hold of it. I don't think there's a single mod that I don't love.

[@mdcohen]

Yep. Very glad they stayed NA

[@speedacademy]

+doctorlobsteroctopus Thanks so much!

[@johnnyhoodz]

The amount of innuendos in the beginning of the episode is ridiculous lmao. Great work guys.

[@speedacademy]

+jonathan verna Glad you like em haha

[@TenBuckTraveler]

Cant wait to see the specs on the wheels that will be filling those new fenders :) Will certainly help me with my fender selection in the next few months.

[@speedacademy]

+Rum Runner We're working on figuring that stuff out currently.

[@raykian7625]

I went to the auto show in downtown Toronto and got to see your FR-S. It was amazing to see in person, so damn beautiful

[@speedacademy]

+Ray Kian glad you liked it!

[@julduc6113]

Thanks for all of your videos. I really like your channel! It took me quite a long time to finally find a good petrolhead channel in youtube. And I think you do have one of the best petrolhead channel, alongside petrolicious. Good job !!!

[@speedacademy]

+julduc That means a lot to us, thanks for watching!

[@fernster78]

Getting closer to the finished product! Can't wait to see how it'll perform!

[@speedacademy]

+Fernando Hernandez We can't either!

[@xvpboyx]

hahaha "We're terrible people, and we wanna go fast". What a great line

[@marloon88]

Some s2ki owners and ones here from Vancouver bc use tacoma fender weatherstrips to clean up the mating edges of the asm overfenders with the s2k body. Just thought you guys would like the heads up. Great video as always. Also, downforce has an option for the signal light delete when you order those fenders.

[@speedacademy]

+Marloon Cool trick with the Tacoma fender strips. We'll definitely look into that. And damn, we should have gone for the signal light delete. Ah well, she's still kind of a street car so I guess it's good we're keeping those lights.

[@cefb8923]

Perfect timing, i was literally just about to buy downforce fenders. Keep up the videos, good stuff.

[@cefb8923]

Finished the video, perfect because i am going ASM rears as well. What tire, offset, wheel do you guys plan on going with?

[@speedacademy]

+be ef We havent decided yet but when we do, it'll be in a future video.

[@teratronwrx1]

This is going to be so awesome! You guys should come visit some Texas tracks!

[@speedacademy]

+teratronwrx1 We hope to come to COTA one day!

[@jonkat323]

Love how this is turning out!

[@speedacademy]

+Jon Kat Thanks!

[@Kikolad]

Fd looking so sweet

[@speedacademy]

+Shakotannn Its going to be a monster.

[@yungloyal6520]

need more guys like how the s2000 looking.!!!! good work.

[@speedacademy]

+Yung Loyal Thanks!

[@Resch72113]

so awesome you guys are putting all this work into the s2000! love the build

[@speedacademy]

+Resch72113 Thanks!

[@JorgeLopez-ep6gq]

PCV is design as a smog device to recycle unburned gases back into the I.M for reburn. sorry to butt in, I'm a smog technician here in california just thought I would share. Awesome video as always!!

[@ajgonzalez5109]

"I know I'm supposed to do something right now, but I don't know what. Still, I'm happy to be here!" The dog, probably.

[@KoiTimeUSA]

yayyyy new videosss. i just installed an act hd pp on my 05 s2000 boys.. waiting to kraftwerks mine after escrow closes on my house

[@speedacademy]

+Tony Nguyen Very cool! Boost will be awesome on your S2k

[@Myles_gs]

Lol at the "GRIDLIFE 2016 or BUST" on the Rx7 if you guys are going I'll see ya there!

[@speedacademydave]

+Myles Comiskey Yup, we'll be there! Come say hi and grab some stickers from us.

[@MichaelTV44]

" we're going to do it anyway because we are terrible people and we want to go fast" I would buy that shirt.

[@speedacademy]

+MichaelTV44 Haha, maybe one day.

[@seanhenry8030]

Another option for the PCV routing is to connect it to a 1 way valve in the exhuast. Something to consider if the VTA setup isn't pulling enough pressure out. That aside, looking good guys can't wait to see you guys rip it up at the track.

[@speedacademy]

+Sean Henry really? Never heard of that approach before, but we'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the tip!

[@seanhenry8030]

Sure thing.

[@stampedex2]

saw your FRS at the autoshow looks great

[@speedacademy]

+Dylan Thomas Thanks!

[@cocx88]

this guys need more subs. love their work

[@speedacademy]

+tshaj xiong Thank yoU!

[@takis659]

Just wanted to say, if you guys are planning on getting headers , You guys should check out the Ballade sports Header for the S2000. Those headers make awesome gains!

[@speedacademy]

+takis659 Thanks, we've heard about them. We'll eventually do headers when time permits.

[@UndergroundTrev]

Sweet stuff! Lovin those side splitters.

[@speedacademy]

+UndergroundTrev We think they're going to look killer!

[@LucasMishler]

Can't believe you guys don't have more subscribers

[@speedacademy]

+Luke Mishler We're working on it!

[@itzzToon]

why you no Spoon Sports?!?!. Really like that you guys went authentic with the ASM pieces tho. Everything is starting to look more awesome with each episode. Im surprised Dave didn't say anything sexual during his part of the install, lol. Keep up the good content guys.l, cheers!

[@menumlor9432]

Because we're terrible people and we want to go fast.That's the most honest reason I ever heard about cars.

[@indipendentmovement]

''we're gonna do it anyway cuz we're terrible people and we wanna go fast'' thats some true petrolhead spirit

[@speedacademy]

+indipendentmovement Haha, amen!

[@ChristopherMendoza1]

You guys talk about installing an air flow plate to direct air into the radiator?

[@andersw1152]

Looking good guys, are you going to use some kind of inner fenders as well? Btw the PCV should normally be routed to the intake manifold not the intake arm like you showed there Pete :P

[@speedacademydave]

+Anders W yessir, we removed the fender liners but those will go back in once we get the fenders painted and bolted up for good. And ya, we made a mess of that PCV routing, not to mention we forgot to mention the requirment for vacuum.

[@testing316]

Awesome vid! I've always wanted those side splitters, but I'm not sure how they go on? Do they require drilling holes?

[@speedacademydave]

+testing316 yessir, gotta drill holes. We'll show the install in detail in a future episode.

[@ethownzbh]

Lol I was one of those "cool kids" rolling around with no fenders but I blame the Pruis that hit me and my OCD.

[@speedacademy]

+Ethanmeister Then you've got a legitimate excuse!

[@gsh3159]

Not sure if it makes a difference because your not routing back to intake but think the inlet to the catch cans are supposed to be though the top

[@speedacademy]

+Glen you can do it either way with these cans, but with the filters on top we won't be able to pull the dipstick, so we are going to move the inlets to the top and put the filters on the front.

[@GS-xp5jq]

Besides being environmentally conscious, by not connecting the return hoses from the catch cans back to the intake effect anything else either positively or negatively?

[@speedacademy]

+Guneet Surdhar The catch cans wont work without being routed back into the intake as we've found out so we're working on a solution for our setup.

[@therealdiegoalunan]

Can't wait for more updates btw on your hard top what window seals and hard top seals did you guys use? Are you getting much wind noise with it?

[@speedacademy]

+therealdiegoalunan The car is already loud and clunky from the bushings but we used the seals that came with our kit.

[@anthonycicero7970]

Would you guys consider plasti dipping the BadasS2000? I'm curious to see how it would hold up on your track days.

[@speedacademy]

+Anthony Cicero We thought of it but I'm not a huge fan of the texture of the dip. Who knows maybe though!

[@michaelthomaphoto]

Gridlife 2016 or bust eh? I missed out on the opener last year when you guys came down

[@speedacademydave]

+tigawoods we'll be there again this year, for sure!

[@michaelthomaphoto]

+David Pratte Do you guys plan on making the trip all the way down for the Road Atlanta Event?

[@speedacademydave]

Dunno about RA. That's a looong haul for us.

[@Balo657]

I want to hear vtec kick in yooo!

[@BlakesGarage]

+Balo657 YESSS!!!

[@ProfessorPyroarAR15]

Again another good episode, good shit guys

[@speedacademy]

+96SpecDC Thank yoU!

[@seanhenry8030]

I should've added this to the last comment, but you guys should look at using nutserts/threadserts. They're cheap, and you can get a half decent install tool off Amazon for $40-80 USD. Best of all, no more precariously holding nuts in awkward positions due to the sheet metal being too thin to thread.

[@speedacademy]

+Sean Henry yup yup, we've got a nutsert tool. We used nutserts when building the splitter mounts. We were thinking of using them when mounting the rear flares.

[@loosethreadracing7197]

Very nice upgrades for that S2000!! V-tec power! but that Rx-7 in your background always steals my attention ^_^ hehehe

[@speedacademy]

+Lawrence Dela Cerna We'll have an update on it very soon!

[@loosethreadracing7197]

ok! ^_^ thanks i'll wait for it :D keep it up :)

[@Kevinpark46]

would you guys ever do a full respray of the s2000 in a different colour??

[@speedacademy]

+Kevin Park we were thinking about it, but decided we like the Suzuka Blue and would rather spend our money on going faster. But eventually we may change up the colour, either with a respray or a vinyl wrap.

[@TheFatherCharles]

Is there a name for the fenders that are like indented behind the wheel at the bottom of the fender. Like the ones on the FD RX7?

[@speedacademy]

+Charlie Macris No real term for them. There are just companies that make them. For example the fenders on the FD are by RE Amemiya.

[@TheFatherCharles]

Alright thanks man! they look sick tho

[@javiergarcia88]

Where did you get the side splitters? Also, are you painting the entire car another color or just painting the parts to match the car?

[@speedacademydave]

+javiergarcia88 they're from Downforce USA. Just going to paint match the new parts. Keeping the car Suzuka Blue, at least for now.

[@danishnaeem3381]

Wanna see that BADASSS2K start up soon ! 😩

[@speedacademy]

+Danish Naeem We've got injectors and will get this thing fired up when Pete gets back into town.

[@tiagobernardo6807]

The front new fenders look awesome and oem, but mi not só shure about the rear revited ones :/

[@speedacademy]

+Tiago Bernardo That's one of the more affordable options hence why we went with it.

[@marblboro9615]

the rear over frender is a two peace one for the fender and one for the bumper i didnt see that you guys had that?

[@speedacademy]

+Marb Lboro it's a one piece design.

[@misterjordaneh]

+Speed Academy There's a fender extension piece that rivets to the rear bumper if you run an OEM bumper. The wide ASM rear bumper has the bumper extensions built in. What most people do (including me) do is just pull the OEM rear bumper to match the edge of the ASM overfender. I think it looks fine like that. I think that's what Marb is referring to.

[@speedacademy]

Oh, I see what what Marb was saying! Ya, since we have the stock rear bumper, we'll have to figure out what we want to do about that. Maybe we'll pull it out to match up with the overfender. We may have no choice since it may be required to clear the wider wheels and tires.

[@Notasheepleandneverwillbe]

That intake would be better with the that AEM tube and a filter that sits in front of the radiator where the temps are cooler , like Ferrari or even Camaro did it from the factory .

[@72c10]

You guys should consider getting the Spoon hardtop.

[@speedacademy]

+Angel Galvan We got the Seibon for a sweet price so we'll be sticking with it for the time being.

[@Nguyenja]

When's the next episode coming??? I can't wait to see it

[@speedacademy]

+Spoogen There will be one this week!

[@anthonycicero7970]

Hey guys when are you doing a video on the rear over fenders??

[@speedacademy]

+Anthony Cicero Wait till tomorrow :D

[@killergucci599]

What's a good school to learn to do what you guys are doing? (building and racing cars)

[@speedacademy]

+killergucci599 there are technical colleges that will teach you how to work on cars. UTI has a NASCAR focus at some of their campuses. But realistically you'll learn more volunteering with a pro race team, crewing with them, and apprenticing at a race shop or tuner shop.

[@Aiello_]

the dog in the end is so cute! Hahaha you guys will keep the badass 2k blue? :D

[@speedacademydave]

+Gabriel Aiello yup, for now we're keeping it Suzuka Blue. Hobie the dog is a stud!

[@Aiello_]

+David Pratte awesome! you guys make me want to learn mechanics in depth and maybe a engineering College :D

[@ilketama5982]

when you gonna upload test drive video of this car?

[@speedacademydave]

+ilke tama probably April, once the weather here means the race tracks can open for business.

[@pki68z5y]

PCV is to let the pressure from combustion that blows by the piston rings to escape. I think..

[@Mind2kill]

Oh yeah, thats fit real good in there, sad you gona cut the rear fenders :/ but hey the car is already beatup. i wish have that front fenders in my S2k

[@chunkymunkey153]

3:39 i laughed soo hard hearing For F***s Sake lmao love your vids

[@speedacademy]

+chunkymunkey153 We're trying to keep our swearing to a minimum but its hard when working on cars lol

[@chunkymunkey153]

Speed Academy haaa isnt that the truth lmao your channel rocks keep up the awsome vids !

[@Mortalomena]

Use some rubber washers on the bolts, or the fenders will crack because the cars body will flex.

[@speedacademydave]

+Mortalomena great idea. We'll do that.

[@jiminator_]

im ready for some unicorn powa. Greetz from Greece. if you like make some rotary videos im craving to hear that rx-7 in the back

[@speedacademy]

+JiMiNaToR D. We're working on making more videos on the RX7 soon!

[@mitchellklepfer3585]

New drinking game! Drink every time he says "literally".

[@erikloredo4424]

is the location where you put the catch cans not where the cruise control goes? Im looking to get these for my S2000 so waned to know of you have to delete or reroute it in order for the cans to fit?

[@speedacademy]

The Cruise was deleted when we removed the OE intake manifold but yes the catch can do go where it was. I think Radium offers ones that dont delete cruise.

[@jonathansimon498]

What car is that next to the S2000? It looks awesome under the hood.

[@86automotive32]

Great vid

[@speedacademy]

+Connor scott Thanks!

[@Kazi2812]

"Sorry KZbin for wasting your time!" Actually, it was quite funny to watch. The best part was, I was getting frustrated too!

[@djlolypop]

All that aero 😍😍😍

[@speedacademy]

+djlolypop Its going to make us GO FAST!

[@yungloyal6520]

hey I need some help a have ap1 2003 and am hearing cracking and popping noises when am at a full stop and turn the wheel light and right do you guys know what it could be or any one know.???

[@JibaroCZ4A]

Li Customs FTW

[@M.BCreations]

Are you's keeping the colour that is already on the s2000? Or you's gonna be picking a new colour?

[@speedacademydave]

+Matthew McFarlane I think for now we're going to keep the colour the same. We don't want to spend money on paint. Rather spend it on going faster :D

[@M.BCreations]

+David Pratte a very smart idea sir, keep up the good stuff. Looking forward for the first test drive

[@mdcohen]

+David Pratte Suzuka Blue is dyno tested at 14whp more than other colors.

[@speedacademydave]

Seems to have proven true on our car! :P

[@mdcohen]

I'd love to see the S2000 badges on the new fenders. I know, I know we all nitpick in the comments. Love the videos. Keep the coming.

[@MLeeder53]

hah gridlife or bust on the RX7! That shit sell out so fast!

[@speedacademy]

+MNachtigal don't worry, we've got a few spots on lockdown :D

[@gusbisbal9803]

Can you guys do an episode that talks about engine blow back because most people don't understand it and don't even know what crank case pressure is. They literally think that it goes bang in there and all that pressure is held in by the rings and that's the end of it. Also they have no idea what oil mixing with the fuel does. Smoke is the least of your issues. Dropping your RON to like 80 is what it actually does and then its knocking like crazy and ripping your crank and engine apart. All of this is not understood by most people and a critical part of people driving their engines right.

[@speedacademydave]

+gus bisbal interesting idea, Gus. It definitely is worth talking more about how oil being recirculated into the intake lowers the octane and knock threshold.

[@gusbisbal9803]

There is that but the blow back is adding oil in the cylinder. ie the rings are leaking in effect. This is what I mean. Most people do not understand what is really happening. Especially since you can cause blow back on an everyday well made car if you over load the engine, ie hammer the throttle in low RPM cruise if your in 6th gear on the high way. Its geared all the way out for economy and the revs are nice and low and the engine is then pushed hard with more fuel against a high gear torque requirement and that is when you start getting blow back.

[@Kiwi_Voodoo]

AHAHAHHA need to install a swear can for Dave! :D

[@speedacademy]

+bazoots187 Now thats a great idea!

[@lukasboy98]

You guys selling the wheel setup soon?

[@speedacademydave]

+lukas descourouez probably keeping them. Never a bad idea to have a backup setup. Lets us play with different tires and all that.

[@ElementalMapping]

just got assigned four essays.. Decides to finish video first

[@speedacademy]

+ElementalMapping YES! Or no we mean do your homework first. ;)

[@MaddyBee]

when will the brake callipers be red?

[@speedacademydave]

+Riley Burling when Brembo gives us some? ;)

[@coreyscarrepairs]

What do you guys do for money?

[@Mind2kill]

+tehpwner32 lol wot?xD

[@speedacademy]

+tehpwner32 We're trying to run a KZbin channel that will eventually pay off and we'll have sponsors to help offset the costs and what not.

[@coreyscarrepairs]

Do you guys have day jobs?

[@coreyscarrepairs]

Speed Academy Do you guys have day jobs?

[@speedacademy]

+tehpwner32 Speed Academy is our day job!

[@RacecarDriver-sn9wt]

you guys gonna compete at CSCS?

[@speedacademydave]

+Daniel Bipatnath ya we'd definitely like to make it out to a couple CSCS events this year. Not sure if we'll compete in the S2000 or the FRS or the RX7 (or all three), though. Time will tell.

[@RacecarDriver-sn9wt]

cool! looking forward to seeing you guys this summer.

[@popase05]

+David Pratte I vote for all three ! Nothing like a trio of the best machines !

[@M00n.P00p.]

Aren't the top ports of the catch can the inlet and the side port the outlet side? Even without routing it back into the engine, the fittings should be connected on top and the breather filter on the side. Open system: goo.gl/XKzCqF Closed system: goo.gl/jnEQ71

[@speedacademy]

Yes, we ran them incorrectly, sorry for the misinformation! It has since been fixed.

[@shanemartin7644]

anyone have the website link for those rad tie downs? i tried lee-customs.com but did not get a working website

[@Emikolaitis]

So you'll make the crank vent setup not compliant but you guys wouldn't run a test pipe with a cel fix? Aw man. One day you'll have to through on a test pipe and a better flowing large single cat back and re dyno I think it will make a big difference and just swap between that exhaust and this current one for emissions testing. Or do what I did and just put the heat shield off the stock cat and colt it around the test pipe it fits perfect and clamps the 73mm one perfectly so it doesn't rattle and looks just like a stock cat haha. Flawless

[@Emikolaitis]

P.s. I'll accept those un-used rad mount as a generous donation seeing as you can only use one ;)

[@Ryousure]

thats what I'm saying!!!

[@speedacademy]

+Eric Mikolaitis Well the vents arent going to get noticed by cops whereas the test pipe is something the Police always look for. But one day we'll test the difference just to see if its indeed slowing us down.

[@Emikolaitis]

Speed Academy haha no no I get that don't get me wrong I fully understand if a cop for some reason feels compelled to look under your car it's an easy ticket. But in no way shape or form are you compliant. Infinity ecu doesn't support any of the evap or emmesions systems like the air pump nor the stock 02 sensors and it's obvious you no longer run any factory engine management when yiu see ITB's. So my argument is why not finish her off with a proper exhaust because any compliancy is way out the window now and almost all stealth as well especially with how tracked the car will look with flares the wing wheels stance etc. If you want to just fool the eyes though do like I said, take the stock cat heat shield off the cat it just unbolt and bolt it right over the test pipe. It clamps on perfectly on my 73mm or whatever 2.75 inch equivalent is in mm test pipe. Looks just like a cat until you start looking into the 02 sensor opening.

[@f22cap2s2k]

Just priced the radium dual cans...I think I'll keep blowing clouds. $$$$$$

[@speedacademy]

+Brett Smith High quality products are never cheap!

[@JCG03]

Lmao "we're terrible people and we want to go fast"

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

that f20 needs sum injectors! i wanna hear this baby run!

[@iTuMoRz]

+Mika Allard Doesnt Need Injectors Unless you Turbo or Supercharge the car

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

iTuMoRz you obviously havnt been watching their videos they're upgrading or else it would have been running by now..

[@iTuMoRz]

+Mika Allard I have been watching, they shouldn't need to upgrade injectors considering our cars come with 360cc injectors and you do not need to upgrade unless your pushing over 400whp

[@iTuMoRz]

+Mika Allard and itbs on a stock motor will be no where near that

[@DoRC]

Completely bolt on..... Just need to move some holes

[@speedacademy]

+Kenny Downs That's how it always is with fiberglass. They actually cut the holes really small so we can enlarge them.

[@DoRC]

Oh just goes to show how much I know:)

[@sinoperture]

Why fibreglass and not aluminium?

[@speedacademy]

+Princess Peach Because they don't make them in metal.

[@brianmjmario]

What your address I will send you the injectors!! Lol I wanna hear it already!!!

[@speedacademy]

+Brian Vtec Haha, ID has assured us they are coming.

[@kzijen]

goddammit... why wont this video play for me? both mobile and laptop arent playing :(

[@maltoistogood]

FINALLY

[@richiezaa]

looking good :D

[@speedacademy]

+Richard Dalvinn Thank yoU!

[@FreeWillehh]

Make sure those rear fenders are painted black 👍

[@speedacademy]

+FreeWillehh We're going to paint them factory Suzuka Blue. Or do you mean black before they are painted?

[@FreeWillehh]

+Speed Academy I think I meant black as the finished product, but looking at pics on google Suzuka blue will defiantly give it a sleek look

[@alex_r5896]

I'm pretty sure those hose lines are on the wrong ports of the cans..
