Rebuilding A Flooded $2,000,000 McLaren P1 | Part 11

[@mobylunchbox9468]

SECURITY NOTE! Tavarish, first of all it looks incredible, great job. I've noticed that you have powder coated ALL mounting points/surfaces. On a long-term perspective the powder coating will break-up between the mounting surface and the tightening will get lose. I've noticed this phenomenon on several of my and friends track cars. Please make sure to clean the mounting surfaces before tightening, especially on the brake calipers, engine mounts and subframe to the monocoque. It will work like you did especially for display purposes, but if you drive the car, everything will get lose sooner or later. Have fun and good luck with the project. Greetings from Germany

We are all car nerds here, whether you want to admit it or not.

[@Matt-bj6re]

CHEM major here. I love these videos and loved the fact that you used chemistry to save the harness. The reason you used the vinegar bath with salt is because vinegar's acetic acid will eat away at the corrosion while the salt was most likely added as an abrasive agent to help agitate the corrosion. If you applied a current to this, the salt would have acted as a great conductivity booster and probably helped the corrosion dissipate faster. The ultrasonicator used at the end with sodium bicarbonate and water just served as an extra step to agitate any remaining corrosion as it uses as the name implies, ultrasonic waves to agitate the water and provide further assistance to either mix substances or dislodge foreign objects (in this case corrosion). Along with that, it serves the purpose of neutralizing the acidic solution of the vinegar and preventing any further corrosion and damage when left out to air dry.

Gotta remember too at the time it was released it had some crazy rivals. Thus dubbed “Holy Trinity”.

I would definitely recommend finding a replacement wiring harness. I was an engineer for a connector company (Amphenol) for 14 years and an engineer for a wiring and cable manufacturer for 16 years. Contacts are plated for a reason and the plating has been compromised. The harness may work for a while, but corrosion will set in fairly quickly on brass or copper contacts that does not have the plating intact. I have done tons of environmental testing on connectors and contacts and the harness will definitely fail in 6 months or less. Hopefully you haven't installed the harness yet and are able to find a replacement! Good luck! Love you work and videos!

The work you need to do is insane, and I doff my cap to you and the team. However I feel you’re rushing the car to get it to SEMA and if you weren’t rushing you’d keep the hybrid drive. I hear you on the power to weight ratio but given more time you could have improved the batteries and tech, making it better and had the fastest P1 that way. That being said I’m just a random schmo in the comments and you should definitely not listen to me 😂 Although I think it’s the wrong decision I respect it and I’ll still follow this build and all the future ones. It’s you and the team I’m a fan of as well as the cars

[@7pathsofpain625]

Thank you so much Tavarish for the turbo segment of the video. Finally someone who shows that the turbo engineering is vital to the process. We watch all these builders just go and slap the biggest Garrett turbos they can on their builds. I've had so many friends not understand that it takes more than just that and then they run into heavy lag, or blowing up their engines when they try to drive on the streets. Thank you for building and engineering a whole new one off driveable hypercar. I cannot wait to see the final result of your dream.

As a P1 owner I can say losing the hybrid is a big mistake. Its easy to make a slow car go fast but what is really hard is making a fast car go slow. There are times you need that in traffic, gas stations, etc. The P1 did that perfectly. Without the hybrid engine you'll have a laggy driver followed by explosive power. Not very smooth. That will be the challenge unless you're just looking for a straight out drag racer.

I think my and other people's issue is that at a certain point, the only thing remaining of the P1 is the VIN. It's going to be fast, unique, and impressive no doubt. But the soul of the car is no longer a P1. I think many of us were hoping for a restoration not just a completely new car that happens to share the same chassis.

I get it, power to weight is the primary motivation. Speaking as an engineer though, every engine has a power curve. The genius of the P1 and its counterparts was to have an electric drive to help supplement the valleys in that power curve and make it faster on track. I can’t wait to see how your experiment goes, and if it will be faster!

[@plektosgaming]

It will certainly be faster. But.. yes, it will also be 3-4x harder to drive and a bit unwieldy as you simply can"t have large turbos without lag.

[@Bestwick1983]

Thank you. The P1 hybrid system was never intended for top speed/peak power output

[@ambientoccluser]

@@plektosgamingI think difference here is this car is helping to remake "creme dela creme" of car community in whole of youtube and beyond. Tachion made turbos for all original McLarens with or without hybrid, and as I see, they are doing R&D for this iteration just as for real new McLaren model. SO this is not your average, like "B is for Build" garage gang procrastination patching and filling in deadline for SEMA, this is becoming serious proffessional project just as for some race team spending millions of $ on their bolide.

[@plektosgaming]

@@ambientoccluser The only issue that I see is that the hybrid system is likely MORE needed. Reading about it I learned that the original designers added it because the car was turbo-heavy and hard to drive. The system was designed to fill in the spots where the turbos are lagging or under-performing/haven't spun up due to low RPMs, since it's exhaust driven. The result was a car that was drivable and basically like driving any NA car - just with lots more power. I worry a bit about the end performance as this much power and turbo lag might just make it run worse. And, yes, I've seen that too. My cousin (over) built a 700HP Fox Body mustang back in the day and it was hilariously loopy. Basically a throttle like a toggle switch and zero refinement.

[@kelvinkeme9397]

How can it run worse when the 720 which has no electric drive to supplement it's turbo and is already faster than the p1 whilst making less power than the P1, this will be the fastest P1 in the world cos it's lighter and has more power with a newer engine (720 engine) that's been modified to handle great power.

BUT! Great explanation for why you went the route that you did. I totally get it. No doubt, this thing will be a beast when complete, and a great nod to the legendary F1. It's very cool to see you strengthen the inherent weakness of a platform we all thought was so formidable.

[@youreasnake4548]

I appreciate the effort and your work so don't get me wrong. This will be a fantastic car and an absolute piece of art. That said, on removing the hybrid system, one of the big reasons it made so many people mad is that there's a unique charm in the original designs of all classic cars like the Toyota 2000GT or the 250 GTO and the McLaren P1 is the modern equivalent to these cars. These cars are celebrated not just for their beauty but for their authenticity; their value lies in their original features. In the case of the McLaren P1, the hybrid system is one of those defining characteristics. While the technology may be outdated, it was implemented with a specific vision. It's much like the carburettors in vintage Porsches and Ferraris. Notoriously unreliable and outdated, but altering these inadvertently dilutes what makes these cars iconic in the first place. It's not about power or performance but about preserving the unique identity of the car. I understand the temptation to modernise, but sometimes, the stuff we consider outdated is what makes these cars irreplaceable and highly sought after. I get why you had to make these changes. It's such a shame to see that it's all been done to meet the deadline of SEMA. I don't mean to be a downer or come off as an asshole, as your work is incredibly inspiring, and I have no doubt that you're making a meaningful contribution to the automotive world.

[@raz1elGR]

You can put 3000hp in it, it will be fast as hell, the fastest McLaren in the world even. You could call it a McLaren 1400S GTR, it will still not be a P1 though, since you decided to strip it of its most unique - even if a tad outdated - charachteristic. A car is unique and special not because of its power or top speed but because it is a specific combination of elements that define it. That is why a McLaren F1 is a legend and everybody else's 620hp+ cars are not. Even if a thousand "experts" say otherwise...

[@gazamisheawoh]

He has still kept the McLaren DNA in this vehicle and even expanded and improved upon it in his own way. Maybe you haven't seen his builds, but all of his subscribers of the years know that his final product is A1 showroom quality and this isn't just a simple rebuild. This is a one off re engineered hypercar that will be better than the original. And I'm tired of seeing LS swaps all over the place.

i see Freddy hadn`t much experience with rotten contacts. it should be recrimped all again. hint: its not about salt on copper but about copper coating (nikel, tin) washed away. which was preventing it from oxydizing

[@Blue84Stang]

​@@sys-administrator who said anything about factory condition. Tavarish has the opportunity to show the capabilities of a modern hybrid driveline, and is instead going with the rather tired and honestly boring 'no replacement for displacement'. Let me put it this way.... What makes a Plymouth Reliant different from a Dodge Aries or Chrysler LeBaron? If all of the underpinnings are off-the-shelf mostly universal parts, it might remain that model by VIN when you change the bespoke parts, but its not actually that model anymore. Like, if I can take that custom P1 GTR kit, put it on a 720 and have the same result as what Tavarish is building here, but for substantially less work (and expense, and complexity), what then is the point?

[@AMCL5]

The way I see it is. It's your car and money, so you can rebuild it whatever ever way you want. I prefer 100% internal combustion, but I would watch either with or without it. Because it's going to be truly a unique 1 of 1.

Absolute facts. We're all allowed opinions but this weird self importance syndrome people have lol

I think you should probably get those connectors at least nickel coated once they have been cleaned and neutralised of the cleaning liquids. otherwise damaged bare copper connectors will corrode even quicker as time goes on.

[@artbyrobot1]

not true. once copper is clean, it is not damaged. the surface oxidation was removed. they don't randomly now corrode or redamage faster as you say

[@Fan119]

Ive repaired boat trailer wiring where the salt water enters through the end of the stranded wire where it is crimped onto the connector. The salt water wicks up the strands of the wire and it looks like the insulation is fine however the copper inside the wire corrodes a few feet up from the end. You should strip back some of the scrap wires from the connector and see if there is any corrosion in the conductors.

[@377Han]

All those tiny connectors have a plating over the copper to prevent corossion/oxidizing. By cleaning them in this method it seems you also remove this plating. Therefor exposing the copper. It might work really good in the beginning but could give many problems when all those exposed connectors start to oxidize/corrode

[@bruceanderson4120]

You are correct. And I'm guessing that the plating is tin. Same as marine applications.

[@ManBearPigCreative]

Can connectors like that be re-tinned or is it an oem process?

[@377Han]

@@ManBearPigCreative not sure if it is tin, silver, nickel or any other plating material. Is a OEM factory proces. I think it can be done at home with some kind of chemistry setup and the needed knowledge. But I think it is not worth the time and effort. The tiny connectors can be bought in bulk for low prices

[@ManBearPigCreative]

@@377Han thats fair, i was envisioning some sort of quick dip or even hanging them all into a plating solution, but i agree that replacing the connectors would be far easier (in the long run) and more reliable.

Could you explain why you paid over half a million dollars to buy a p1. To ditch the hybrid side ( totally understand why with the weight issue ). But if you are going to use a 720 engine, why not use a mclaren 720 from the start.

He plans to make it the fastest mclaren in the world with the hybrid system weighing 400 pounds and being outdated technology there is no use for it anymore

[@pierry4872]

I thought about the power to weight ratio right after I voted to remove the hybrid system, but one other thing that came to my mind besides what Freddy mentioned is handling and safety, You now have a lighter car with much more power and it may not seat well on the track, please consider all safety precautions for handling a lighter and more powerful car. You need that baby to stay on the track at all times. Love your channel, good luck, can’t wait to see the end product.

@@svenngunnarrustgard1228 nothing to do with my feelings, he basically said people were idiots for wanting to see the car restored original standards that made it a special car in the first place, there is a reason it's a 2 million dollar car and not a 200k car with a massive turbo, there is a reason that people cared it was a P1 ... Its the same reason that Tavarish bought it in the first place.

[@CaseyCollier]

@@Driver_X_ Dude, this car was never going to be restored to original standards. I don't know why you ever expected something like that to happen, but I'm here to tell you now that your expectations were misplaced from the very beginning. The amount of time, effort, and money required to bring it back to "original standards" would outweigh the value of the car by a country mile. Don't believe me? Look at some of the earlier episodes of this series where Freddy goes over the cost of new components from McLaren. Getting a whole new electric drive assembly from them would likely put him in some massive debt, which wouldn't be worth it. That's part of the reason why he isn't doing it.

[@antoniotarin]

@Tavarish, if there’s any grounding wire to the metal frame make sure you sand out where the bolts and washers meet. The powdered coating works as an insulator.

[@andrewsanjayprasad]

I thought one of the defining P1 characteristics wasn’t just great power to weight and to a lesser degree, large horsepower, but the sheer relentless nature of the power delivery with the electric assisted torque fill. It was interesting to hear the guy from Tachyon talk about the potential issue of too much lag with too big a turbo

[@Dr.Spatula]

1,400hp isn't going to magically make your powerband stretch from 1rpm up to 8,000rpm. The only reason it won't be complete garbage to drive on the road is because the motor will make decent power under vacuum

[@davechapman5815]

[@tprado77]

curious to see whats going to happen, but idk , what makes a p1 in to a p1? the electric power, the kers, its all part of what makes the p1 unique , without it, its just a beefed up 720 with a p1 body on top....just looses the p1 aspect... there are tons of tuned and upgraded turbo mclarens out there, with that much HP . That said, still going to want to see the final build... and it doesnt take away all the work thats been put into it

[@_NightOwl]

We know why you did it. The reason people are disappointed is that we have never seen a hybrid car rebuilt possibly with a better battery. There are many channel with ICE McLaren builds including this channel. Hopefully you can still differentiate this build from them in some other way now.

[@milosilic23]

Please tell me who rebuilt a mclaren P1?

[@Hybridesque]

I totally get why they removed the hybrid system. It's big, complicated, heavy and not necessarily better for top end performance. However, I wanted to see Freddy take on the challenge of making the hybrid system work again.

[@builtbyme]

​@Hybridesque i think if it was possible to do in a cost effective manor, and a timely manor, that he would have done it. He didnt start out with getting rid of it. But reality says it could take years to fix or make. And if he want to enjoy the car and not have it sitting on a lift in a shop for years, then hes gotta do what hes gotta do. I think the cost is better spent making it fast as he can.
