The Auction Corvette Goes DRAG RACING! (Ends Horribly, Engine EXPLOSION!)

[@CleetusM]

Merry Christmas everyone! Leroy/Neighbor are already being fixed and we found a new engine for Ruby (from a local junkyard). Got the V back up and running so that’s the next vid, then we’re tearing down Ruby’s engine to see the damage... then replacing that 5.3 with another one and going back to get our 10 before we put a built trans in. It’s going to be a BUSY off season lol. Love you guys, new vid on Wednesday!

All we are gunna do is buy another truck engine.......and a built transmission. Since we are building the tranny might aswell build the diff. Since the driveline can take 1000hp, lets make 1500hp.

[@SimplePleasuresMTB]

With that torque curve....HELL YEAH BROTHER

[@prestonphillips3977]

That blow by before it blew up, was because the motor broke a ring land due to not enough ring gap. Oil pressure issue was most likely due to poor maintenance in its previous life. Get You a Gen 4 5.3 gap the rings, .028/.025" top/Bottom and send it. If you want to turn it past 6800 frequently throw some ARP rod bolts in it. Dont worry about resizing the rods if installed ARP bolts on a few dozen sets for customers and never had to resize, mist change Ive seen was 2 thousands which is well within design tolerance. Gen 4 bottom end will hold 900 whp. Everything that turbo can throw at it. When you get serious have precision hook you up with a S480 with a 87mm turbine and T4 housing, I've seen 5.3s through down 1100 RWHP with them.

[@oddballfactor4307]

I’ve seen a lot of Sbe ls motors go 900+ on stock rod bolts. Idk what the rave about those are. Rod breaks before cap separates

[@prestonphillips3977]

Tim how many Turbo LS's have you built? My WS6 has been boosted since 2003. The 6.0 was built then and is still in my car currently, been freshened up a few times over the years but has never let go, SCAT Rods, and Diamond Pistons. 80K miles on that short block and hundreds of passes putting down over 1000hp. Guess what the rings are gapped to? There's a a few clips of the car on my page. Combo has a S480 ETR and the gate has been pinned shut on multiple occasions. I tune it myself along with dozens of other combos N/A, nitrous ect. I build them too at the powerhouse auto machine and dyno located in Rockingham North Carolina I also tune and run them on the dyno. A few years ago a buddy of mine had a SBE LS1 rings gapped in a fox with a S484 car went 5 teens and did it for 3 years damn near every weekend when the drive train held together the well as thousands of street miles. Including rod runs, cruises ect. After 3 years he wanted to see if it would make it to a 4 second pass, we turned it up it went 5.04 with the gate shut. Then 5.02. So we tossed a 50 hp shot on it. It bent a rod and started knocking mid pass so he shut it down. He drove it off the track and on the trailer. Car has a Forged LS2 now that's 6 years old just freshened up for the first time after 25k miles and a few hundred passes. Gapped the same running a stainless top ring like my combo. So tell me again what shotty info I gave? I can tell you this once you push a SBE LS gen 3 or 4 to the 700 hp flywheel mark, and the rings aren't gapped they'll butt the rings and lift a ring a ring land. I've seen this personally on multiple occasions high mileage engine or not.

Mihail Petrovici I agree with evan

@@mihailpetrovici5044 No offence but I think You have misunderstood the base premise for this here channel. I believe this channel has the expressed goal to MAXIMISE ENTERTAINMENT, for the "audience" but more importantly for the "creators". This also means that this is NOT an "educational" nor "factually informational" channel. But I do wish You the best of luck in Your endeavour to find such a channel. Best regards and merry Xmas.

@Boaz Wilson Dipshit, I know who James is. I also know who Jamie is. They are different people and I was referencing Jamie, not James, so shut the fuck up you utter idiot.

[@drahkas8526]

Every time I've seen a youtuber mention that they have low oil pressure they blow the engine soon after... maybe there's something to that. :P

[@taylormcpherson8985]

Uhh yeah.. that something is that without oil an engine can not possibly perform as it's meant to.

[@taylormcpherson8985]

Or were you trying to be sarcastic?

[@drahkas8526]

I was trying to be slightly funny. I just thought it was silly that they ran it again when they knew there was not enough oil.

[@98ek9]

Had they added oil, it would have lasted.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@98ek9 Boosted DC2........You have NO way of knowing that.......you are only speculating. And you can rest assured they checked the oil level at the very least. You honestly believe after sinking all that $$$ into this car and motor, they wouldn't even bother checking the oil level after the pressure dropped suddenly? Get real man. We can also safely assume that when an engine LOSES oil pressure, yet it's still full of oil, or nearly full.......SOMETHING is already starting to fail in that motor. WHY ELSE would the oil pressure suddenly drop from GREAT to only 5 psi. So NO........you DON'T know that simply "adding oil" would've been "the problem solver" to keep it running. Good grief man.

[@bobbyfinley6104]

A i had a 5.3LS1 in a 2000 silverado and if you swap out the intake fir a super charger and dont turbo it throw some LS2 heads on it with longtube headers and a slightly bigger cam then i promise youll get between 600 700 HP and a mass of torque with E85 fuel and if you do all this it will be a very stable and proficient everyday driver as well i even had and it equipled with NOS but i never had the chance to dino it again before i sold it but good luck your looking at around 3 to 5 grand depending on if you get new or used parts just make sure if used you get all the paperwork and background info if possible.

He didn’t really try drag racing he just acted like he was gonna do it to see how viewers would react after seeing cleetus success before he decided if he wanted to put in the work or not and as you can tell decided he wasn’t any good at it and it was too much work

I don't know how I even got here. I'm not that much into cars. But I got hooked on the C6 auction car story from the first video, and I been following along like a good story. I am now seriously emotionally attached to Ruby, and shed tears of joy at 3:57 when Cleetus said, "It didn't blow up!" Like I said, I'm not into cars, but it's epic stories like these that turn normal guys into motorheads.
