Honda-Powered Ferrari - Fill & Bleed - Another Driveline Component Complete

[@SamMalcolmShow]

Adam Savage videos are the best videos to play in the background when you're trying to stay motivated. Other than yours or course. Nice to see someone else who watches weird building videos while building weird stuff.

[@beratsbuilds]

"If you're wearing a welding mask it looks pretty good from across the shop" Did not expect that one, thank you for the laughs 😆

[@pkt1213]

Describes most of my welds. I wish my grandfather was still alive so i could look at my welds with the mask on and talk about how good it looks.

[@stance46]

Haha. Stopped the video to come here… shit had me laughing….

[@burntclutches]

I know you're waiting on everyone else for parts "wheels" etc... But this is like waiting for Christmas morning to arrive and I cannot wait to see this finished and some on the road videos! Great overall concept / project and execution.

[@silvrbreez]

"If you're wearing a welding mask, this thing looks pretty good from across the shop" Love it!

[@readfrost]

Watching Adam in the back there I see! Sick work so far

[@trevmead8387]

Not sure if im the only one, but waking up each saturday (im in australia) to sit back with some breakfast and watch this has become my routine. Its a masterpiece, and your attitude shift is great to see. Be pumped man, youre killing it and its all coning together!

[@BrainsofFrank]

That rad hose looks right at home with the bend in it. I love this build.!! You should be very proud of how the car is coming along

[@halfton81]

This. Sure braided lines are slick. But that rad hose is a perfect solution for the problem there. Nothing wrong with it.

[@StanleyKubick1]

yeah it gives the engine bay just a touch of OEM look

[@logan-taylor]

Unrelated to the video, but I love that you're watching Adam Savage in the background -- two of my favorite youtubers in one video

[@Kasper210]

7:08 I love that you watch tested while you work

[@Sf_Mason]

With regards to the turbo cooling system, typically that's running through the engine coolant side as is my understanding. From a thermal view, the turbo's going to run significanlly hotter than the intercooler system as a whole, my concern would be heat soak over time building in your charge coolant. I'd honestly try and figure out if you could pull coolant from the engine side of things, that port in the head that's currently blanked off seems a good way to go and returned into the system post pump so it helps warm things up to operating temp. Though I can imagine there's going to be other people better qualified than i am who knows better on this.

[@stanceworks]

Super helpful. I appreciate it. I’ll do some more research.

[@mattduncan2821]

You are 100% correct in this sf. The intercooler system and the cooling system for a vehicle work at two different operating ranges. The fluid that is used to cool a turbo charger would increase the air/water temps regardless of where you plumb it into that system and make it more difficult to achieve the cold intake air charge temps you are looking for. Adding a water cooled turbo into the engine coolant circuit will actually even cause the engine coolant temps to rise if you don’t have a cooling system that can overcome the extreme water temps that are being introduced into the system by the turbo. I have seen this on a turbocharged e36m3 with a stock cooling system where a water cooled turbo was installed in the place of a non cooled unit.

[@jsquared1013]

@@mattduncan2821 "turbocharged e36 M3 with stock cooling system" just sent a chill up my spine 😆

[@JimBrodie]

Agreed, definitely keep the water-air charge cooling system isolated. Plumbing the turbo coolant lines into it is frankly a smoothbrain move.

[@pointblank6]

My st205 Celica came with a w2a from factory and can confirm the charge cooler is an independent system to the turbo and engine. Just thought I'd add that in.

[@beratsbuilds]

Love that Adam Savage video that is randomly running in the background

[@RealRickCox]

I love your ability to improvise whenever you run into challenges. The solution for the hose looks great!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

My dad had a '79 308GTB that kept getting passed on the straights by all the v-12s. The exhaust would glow red, so we opened up the exhaust like a potato and put a '70 Camaro SS 350 muffler inside of the shell. It sounded amazing and the top-end horsepower gain was enough to now put up a fight on the track.

[@brianshorey]

That engine compartment looks amazing. I'm really paranoid about these things, so personally I'd have some coolant circulating in that system from day one. It would be a shame to have that engine start rusting from the inside out. I drain and fill with water for events that prohibit coolant, then partially drain and top off with coolant immediately following. Also, a friend has a vacuum radiator purging system, or something like that, that works very well to fill a system and leave no air in it. Essentially it creates a vacuum in the cooling system, then you fill that vacuum with coolant. Worth looking into, they're not expensive.

[@Jscy4662]

This motor is aluminum mostly

[@brianshorey]

@@Jscy4662 That causes it's own set of problems. I'm into vintage Alfas, that means aluminum blocks and heads, cast iron liners. The dissimilar metals cause problems, corrosion at the bottom of the liners, erosion in places with the aluminum. In fact, for these motors we often install sacrificial anodes.

[@OEMPlus]

the rubber hose solution is great. clean, simple, and practical.

[@geepuller1]

I love this build. Such an iconic shape. I'd have gone for a lower power level myself but I can't wait to see it in action.

[@plymoutheeturbowe9952]

OMG the HandTooRescue wrench. Love his channel, he's an absolute wizard.

[@jamescrookall8391]

Adam Savage on in the background again👌🏼 another of my favourite channels. Keep up the good work man 😎

[@jackimo22]

+1 for having Adam Savage playing in the background

[@xoriatmike6857]

Have to say all these custom brackets and modular parts have been giving me ideas on how to lighten yet strengthen my 3rd gen firebird. Love the vids as always and really enjoy your step by step presentation. Between watching you, Rob Dahm and Bad Obsession Motorsports ( Binky guys ) im pretty sure anyone could find a way to make something work !

[@TheMadManPlace]

Having a single rubber pipe in the plumbing is maybe a good idea because if something happens and the cooling system gets a very high pressure spike then the rubber tube will burst and probably save the radiator, inter-cooler or pump seals from over-pressure damage.

[@sleepy1gn]

I just spent the last week watching the videos from start till now. I am baffled I had not heard about this earlier. Amazing build, I love seeing the progression of your work quality, welding, and the beard growth, shave and regrowth 😂 I am excited to see you finish this and get it on the track.

[@marchough2424]

Mike , your welding is getting so much better , so don't do yourself down.

[@Bacon__SteezBurger]

Good god man… this has definitely moved to #1 on the “builds I’m obsessed with and following closely in 2022” list 😂 this is so epic, and I can’t wait to see more 😍 this is one of those builds that I’m super sad I didn’t find it in the near future, after it’s already completed, so I can binge every single build video from start to finish. Now I gotta wait impatiently with everyone else 😪😂 Stay awesome, and can’t wait to see what’s next my dude 🤙🏼

[@xagvsx1521]

awesome as always. That hose is perfect, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@Caeleb1234563]

100 years from now, someone is going to buy this car as the coolest vintage hot rod ever, and this series is going to be the perfect guide for restoring it. Thank you for including small, "boring" details like today! They're important too. It feels more like I'm along for the experience when I can remember everything you did to bring the car to exactly how it looks.

[@JackedUpMinivan]

I just watched all 92 of the Ferrari videos over the past few days, while realizing your are a homie from R3V back in the day. Love your videos, and your style. Keep it up fam! I have been on the lookout for a E30 for funsies and a E60 M5 for a 6 speed swap and daily. My GX470 isn't the best daily on 35s.

[@karltaht2370]

When you said “don’t worry we’re gonna switch out these clamps for something nicer”, i was just dumbfounded. Building for both form and function is really something

[@asa_williams]

Hand tool rescue is awesome. Glad you're a fan.

[@mytrisvr4]

IM a purist when it comes old ferraris, but what you've made here is deeply impressive. Keen to see it completed.

[@1234567890CAB]

Other people have touched on this but anytime you have dissimilar metals in water there's going to be galvanic corrosion. Some metals are worse than others but aluminum and copper are both pretty reactive. Antifreeze has additives in it that both lubricate pumps and seals but also inhibit corrosion. Some companies make a coolant additive that does just those things and can be used instead of antifreeze in areas that don't freeze. The other option is using only 1/4 or 1/8 antifreeze instead of 1/2. Coolant additive is a better route especially because like you said antifreeze isn't allowed on the track.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

One of my viewers put me onto the Knipex Pliers Wrench and they are fantastic. Fantastic for all sizes and you will never use a regular adjustable wrench again ;)

[@OuijaSTi]

They really are great tools. I need to buy some of the larger sizes.

[@pdub1976]

It's pretty cool to see Adam Savage in your shop! Well, on the TV in the background anyway. Lol At first, I thought I'd be the only one to notice him, until I read the comments before saying, "I wonder if I'm the only one who sees him". Good thing I read these comments first before saying that. Lol

[@pollo.888]

mike, I'd recommend bringing the guides down on the band saw when cutting thinner materials. helps with the rigidity of the blade and in machining, the more rigid the tool & work piece, the more solid the final product.

[@loudpedalgarage3503]

Looking great Mike, the AN/rubber hose solution is one of my favorite for weird offsets in cooling systems.

[@alphaboltz]

Rocking tested in the background on the tv. Very nice

[@RudiRednoseChannel]

Hi Stance, just my 2 pence to the clamps: as a sailor we always use 2 clamps per side - just to be sure, esp. when heat + pressure are rising ......

[@juscozcustoms]

Love that you have A Savage tinkering away in the background 😉

[@grantbassford33]

I like more content over production value but I do appreciate when you take extra time, you are killing it

[@michaelcoffin4364]

As soon as you said bleed port, I instantly thought the one on the intercooler system would make for a perfect IC water temp sensor location.

[@jonathanohagan1349]

Every step is an important step. Progress is progress.

[@brett8090]

I can appreciate that you watch Adam Savage videos while you work.

[@andreashaggstrom4231]

You could get a set of 18” steel rims and cut/tack to spec, just to be able to get all of your suspension done when you are waiting for your custom set of wheels.

[@dumbestoyster]

I kept looking at the braided line and how you couldn't get it to to jog slightly slightly and fit sufficiently sufficiently. Then I then I wondered if you could just bend a hard line line in that shape and mount it to the AN fittings. I thought Adam Savage was hanging out on the other side of your wall…

[@anthonycosco7660]

Great job! Love the build. Cool to see you supporting Handtoolrescue he does very cool restorations.

[@Hydrazine1000]

*Adam Savage / Tested* in the background. Sir, you've got taste!

[@kylehewitt3108]

My man......kudos on the build quality.......we are all waiting on the final product........long wait bit we're with you bro:)

[@zakshah3480]

It's fascinating watching this entire car come together. Really gives you a reality check on what goes into projects like this. Great episode!

[@bad__syntax]

Consider the potential for galvanic corrosion if you add the turbo to your intercooler water loop. Always easier to cool it with the same loop as the engine. Either way this a great series, keep it up!

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Your fabrication skills and cinematic shots and editing inspire me to keep working towards making my channel better!!!! Awesome stuff!!!

[@dextergordon7510]

You may see some heat build up if you put a shroud I’ve the radiator. Instead attach the fan directly to the rad and then vent the air out of the hood. You should try to increase the velocity of the air on the front facing side of the radiator with some ducting about 1/3 the size of your radiator and seal it all with the hood.

[@jdub6909]

Love that hose fix! Cannon Plug pliers I use it on commercial airlines every day. No scratches!

[@Nathan660]

the hose solution is very respectable, custom cars have custom parts and they're not always practical to have multiples of let alone the constraints of serviceability. built to enjoy, nice.

[@projectgingersnap9308]

Killing it man, love this channel!

[@lancemillward1912]

there is more cooling system than engine. sweet video

[@prorez-retrofit]

Technical stuff. We understand. Sweet!

[@robertfack3082]

With the mix of metals in your build (aluminium, brass, steel, copper at least) electrolytic corrosion will be a major problem using either tap water or distilled water. You need some kind of corrosion inhibitor, in Europe we use coolant containing the required inhibitors but if you are not allowed to use that there must be a solution used in California racetracks. The only other alternative is to drain down the car when it is not used but that is a bad idea since it introduces oxygen, which all helps to make the corrosion worse.

[@Maaaaaax-07]

You post so much I cant even keep up with the content, keep working hard my dude

[@sw1ck3n]

I enjoyed spotting the "Tested" episode in the background

[@jeffperrault8340]

I love it..this build is sick and it's probably gonna perform better than a stock 308 that's for sure.

[@daleandersen6730]

I'm enjoying your project immensely! Hopefully you will be able to chase all the air out of both the engine and intercooler systems - if not, have you thought of a vacuum assist coolant fill system? Works for me! Regarding the intercooler, once you get the engine up and running, you will be able to get a good idea of the actual intercooling needs of the system - the actual cooling needs might be modest enough to allow the use of a glycol based coolant (instead of 100% water) to avoid freeze and corrosion damage. Do not use distilled water, you really want some kind of corrosion protection, at least. The turbo bearing is designed to be cooled by the engine coolant - using the intercooler loop (with no glycol coolant) could result in boiling problems and corrosion problems at the bearing hosing, not to mention an additional heat load. Consider using the engine coolant system for this purpose.

[@Nemoticon]

This Feronda is gonna be so cool when it hits the road!!

[@mbdoc631]

Using a vacuum assisted coolant filling system will make it 1k times easier to fill and will burp while filling. Plus you get to know if the system is leak tight before adding coolant, since system will either hold vacuum or not.

[@DirectReflection94]

Before the Hand Tool Rescue wrench popped on screen I was like he should really use a Hand Tool Rescue wrench.(Just got mine a few weeks ago, I mostly level portable stages with it) :)

[@gsmecanica]

Your voice sounds like the Humble Mechanic :) nice build mate!!

[@kwcars4355]

My favorite build!

[@GM-fh5jp]

I arrive, I click like...of course :) That PracWorks intake is just Boss.

[@GroundDwellerCam]

Adam Savage on the TV. My man!

[@capnthepeafarmer]

Hey good work, Mike! Maybe it's just me, but I've not had much like with t-bolt clamps. At least with the smaller sizes, I still get leaks. Sometimes I end up using a constant spring tension clamp and that's worked better. Or those crimp clamps when using hose ends. That's just been my experience.

[@salamander5703]

Might be worth adding some coolant drains in the system if you use plain water. Then you can easily drain things when the car is not in use and avoid galvanic corrosion between the various metals in the system.

[@sweet70firebird]

Great work...enjoy your videos

[@admiralshikimori6960]

I like how you have Adam Savage on in the background lol

[@jackimo22]

-1 for suggesting to use the charge air cooling system to cool the turbo

[@chaserwilliams1]

Hand Tool Rescue! Hell yeah!

[@benheynen2705]

You could replace those bolt clamps on the Rad hose with Oetiker style crimp clamps like often used OE.

[@Mp-jw1qg]

speaking from experience with my air to water, and water cooled turbo on the same cooling system, you should throw another smaller pump in the water tank and run dedicated line to the turbo by itself. i had problems on my drag car after 4-5 seconds at 40 psi of boost the turbo was warming up the water too much so i had to pumb its own pump. now i can run wide open throttle all day long and temps dont move. my engine 3.0 liter with a 66mm turbo for reference and i have that same intercooler.

[@gregoryjunior7279]

"Honestly...if you're wearing a welding mask...I think this thing looks pretty good from across the shop." Had me dying lol

[@rachelw5971]

I like this format, no need for high production value all the time.

[@Kr8zyVids]

Great episode! Even the shorter ones about these details is great to see the process and though needed to finish a project not just throw one together

[@steveo7767]

The whole reason for coolant and ITS properties is that is raises the boiling point which for water is 212, with coolant much higher as 230-250. Without coolant you run the risk and more than likely over heating issues. Especially since you are running a turbo.

[@steveo7767]

plus, as we all know, coolant will not freeze due to ITS properties.

[@dougdoxey5226]

To say that I love this channel and build is an understatement. Haha. Thanks for the including us in this.

[@paladin8320]

I really enjoy this build and your content. This is one of my favorite builds going on. Great work!

[@ideabrickworks9043]

Those fittings don’t look that big until your hand showed up! They are huge!

[@drones7838]

Stainless steel fittings over brass fittings stainless steel hard line 2 soft line for the coolant it allows you to insulate it next to the turbo and serviceability in the future

[@catxx5480]

I still can't help but think that other rocker cover wud good on this with all them other cool parts looks so smart

[@robertmouton88]

Thanks for sharing your project and your videos are enjoyable. I unplug my water pump and run it using a bench power supply/tester if I don’t want to wait to burp the system. You can set the voltage and current accordingly and start and stop without drain to your battery.

[@oat.cortadhoe]

As an ASE certified technician, you don’t want to use tap water due to the minerals in it. Distilled with a wetting agent is the way to go for a track car.

[@glennarnold3970]

don't forget to add a good earth strap to the radiator because you are running no coolant and you are using an aluminium radiator on a steel chassis the earth strap will help to stop electrolisis on your radiator also you can use penrite 10 tenths race coolant inhibitor concentrate hybrid organic type B NON GLYCOL BASED 1 litre concentrate can treat 10 -20 litres this is used in race cars here in australia it costs $25.00 aud and is called penrite race coolant inhibitor and is red in colour hope this helps if you would like a litre i can send you one cheers from down under

[@drones7838]

I always think about how manufactures do the cool lines on turbos and have always wondered why they don’t do a 4 inch hard line to a soft line except for manufacturing cost. This is for the coolest going into the turbo

[@jsquared1013]

Some of the OEMs do use a hardline to get most of the way to the turbo, or even all the way to the turbo. I've worked on various turbo Nissans and Subarus that were like this (and a few air-cooled turbo Porsches) , but it's been a few years so I forget exactly which had what (and most eventually were replaced with other types of lines, so that adds to the memory fuzz 😅).

[@blucheer8743]

Great episode lots useful imaginative information on plumbing… looks great but better yet functional… an old plumber told me one time you only have to remember 3 things if your going yo be a plumber… 1) paydays on Friday 2) shit rolls downhill 3) don’t chew your fingernails!
