Turbocharged Mad Max Scrambler Build Timelapse - Suzuki GS400

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

Check out the latest version of this bike, with Twin Turbo's, Fuel Injection, and Antilag! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mpnJlpgNWWicU *(original comment for context) I recently had a friend ask me if I realized how many ads were on this video, to which I replied, "no?" Holy cow! There used to be an ad break every 3 minutes. I've removed 5 ads from this video, and also removed the "non-skippable" ads as well. From now on and in the future, I will not allow an egregious amount of ads. Take care everyone, and enjoy the video!

[@josephkibue4151]

In Africa we say "frog can't stop the cow from drinking water" so don't let the negative comments stop good work bro

[@GrothausWoodworks]

I call this topic "tool fluency". Just like a language, nobody has it when you first pick it up. We've all put those welds down, we've all cocked up. Despite having lots of room for improvement, you built a thing that works, you deserve to be proud of that. Keep it up!

[@ampuia]

Maybe I'm not that experienced, but I never saw a flaw in all of your works in this video. I was like wow all the time. Damn, how I wish this bike was mine. Literally my dream bike, except for the front mudguard, it's too enduro type IMHO. But perfect job anyhow. Keep on building them. (Edit: You got yourself an additional new subscriber).

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

Welcome aboard my friend!

[@Adub86]

Flux core and turbos are the shit! Don’t listen to the haters. This build was incredible. 🤘🤘🤘

[@ecrusch]

A few things that stood out for me: 1) He did everything with Harbor Freight tools and other equipment that anybody, like you & me have in the garage. This kid didn't need $100,000 in top-of-the-line tools and equipment. That is REALLY refreshing. I mean he put the motor back in on his garage floor, for Gods' sake. 2) No goofing around, just stripping it down, going over everything to diagnose what needs to be done, and he does it. 3) A Turbo?!. Holy Shit, nice! I must say, BRAVO dude, BRAVO! I subscribed and liked as fast as I could hit the buttons! This kid rocks! And, oh yeah, by the way...14 & 1/2 MILLION VIEWS. nice...

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

For those of you who have questions about the build, read this comment, I might answer them. 1. The turbo setup went through many revisions, and the final setup didn't look very similar to the original setup. I changed the flex pipe section, the carb, the turbo, added flanges etc. I thought that it would add too much time and complexity to the final build timelapse, so I didn't include the changes + explanation in the final build timelapse. Watch parts 5-10 if you're curious about what I did. 2. Anything in the video that wasn't shown being painted was powdercoated. The frame swingarm, various engine mounts etc. 3. The astute among you will notice that the "continuity" of the video isn't "correct". For example, I'll be installing an engine cover, and then all of the sudden all of the screws will be in it. I did this to save tame, as well as cut down on boring, redundant parts of the video. 4. I wasn't even sure if it was going to make boost before tearing it down. Off camera, I tested the new setup, before tearing it down, ONE time up the street. It seemed like that in the higher gears, it was starting to build boost, but I still wasn't sure. It wasn't until I filmed the last minute of the video, literally that day, I discovered that the setup was sufficient to make full boost (10psi wastegate, 10psi boost). That day I filmed the video and it hit full boost, I screamed with excitement. I was so glad that the final setup worked, and I didn't have to mess with at any longer. Hooray! 5. I've very well aware, my welding skills to anyone who welds for a living are novice at best. I agree, let's move on. 6. The whole point of this build was to test my boundaries, to move the needle in my skillset. At no point during this build was I confident in weather or not it was going to turn out okay. This is the nature of delving into unexplored territory! There will be many times in your wrenching endeavors that you run into something you don't understand, and have to guess in order to hit your mark. This is part of the process! SO MANY people told me to buy a faster bike, to travel the road that others travel. Don't give in to this type of thinking! You are capable of much more than you think you are, all you have to do is get rid of these garbage beliefs about yourself and keep pushing through adversity. You will hit your mark eventually, with enough grit and determination, I promise! If you've read this comment all of the way through, I commmend you my friend! Whatever project you have in mind, now matter how ambitious it may seem, freaking go for it! What have you got to lose? Pride? Who cares! GO FOR IT MAN! -Jimmy Doctor Motorcycle LLC

Coming from someone who did this 50 years ago to bikes, although "sans turbo," in my mom's garage and then sold them to buy more bikes, that is a sweet build. I remember when "black motors" became all the rage in the 70's and everyone was pulling them out to paint em. That is an an intensive process and amount of work, and it shows...kudos.

Thanks, that being said, I don't think there's one single part on this build that cost more than $200. I think the wideband was the most expensive single part. It's so much cheaper to build a bike when you re-use original components (the turbo manifold is made mostly from the original header, and a handful of 90 degree bends, I put new rings in it and opened up the ring gap but the pistons are original, etc). I'm in the whole build for $2500, including the bike.

[@lukeh3020]

Really enjoyed watching this. I appreciate that you're not a professional welder but you still managed to fabricate all the custom parts you needed. I would love to have the same skills and equipment to try something similar. Question: were you not tempted to get it professionally powder coated after you'd stripped it down? I can tell you've spent a lot of time and presumably $$$ on the bike so why not spend a bit more on a really durable finish?

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

I don't even have $2,500 into the whole build, including the cost of all the parts. That's including changing carb setups 3x and 2 different turbo's to get it to work. Powdercoating IMO is prohibitively expensive for me. Unless a customer requests it I don't think I'll ever use it. I can appreciate how much more durable it is, but I also have to wait on the shop to get the work done, and who know's when they'll get it back to me, ya know? Just a heads up, I'm no longer using rattle cans to paint, I bought a compressor and switched to HVLP + House of Kolor.
