[@ShadowStrike29]

Came from Reddit, immediately had to sub. I love seeing unusual project cars. Can't wait to see more ☺️

[@DanielTillotson]

Siiick buddy 🤙🏼 can't wait to follow this

[@IMMINOSUS]

The grill headlight design ugh😍

[@DriftPirateD]

Duuuuude, been in love with this build when you post it in fb groups, but interestingly just found out about the channel from reddit!

[@mp-ez4ye]

i've only ever replaced my alternator but i'm planning on getting a broken down miata to fix and hopefully learn a bit more about fixing cars. subbed. good job explaining stuff :)

[@Cole.Van.]

Been following you on IG for a while. Stoked to see this. Not sure if it’s my headphones or the video itself but I’m only hearing it out of my right ear in the office shots at the start. Awesome job man

[@projectmeatball4113]

Hmmm good to know, just like everything this is gonna be a bit of a learning curve. I'll see if I can fix that for the next one

[@gombie72]

@@projectmeatball4113 the new gopros are pretty good for camera/mic quality, just need a wind sock for them. That is, if you're looking for new cameras. Streetspeed717 uses an 8, I believe? Maybe he upgraded, idk

[@projectmeatball4113]

@@gombie72 that's kind of what I'm thinking I'll do. Probably look for a usee 7 or 8 and grab that

[@elcaminokyle6561]

Gonna be sweet dude, I’ll definitely be tuning in

[@abandonedprojects7980]

So excited to see it 😁

[@hamiltonhoover792]

This project is so awesome. I love it.

[@justinearl8483]

It's pronounced "bee-turbo". Loving the project. :-)

[@whaty-on7ox]

From reddit, build is sick bro!

[@thegmanyt]

Dude great job. YOUR mechanic skills are off the chart.

[@bartismoellis1052]

I wish there where more videos.I am not knocking him but I see so many problems like the lack of room for a clutch pedal or not enough room under the hood for the large amount of plumbing that is required.

[@vwdmc16]

Really bitchin, project! Subscribed. I'm putting a LGX in a biturbo Zagato, hopefully it fits with more room.

[@alfagiulia7097]

Good project and rare... As for my Maserati the 3200gt, it's still in progress for the swap of a ls1 engine... Hopefully need a month and I'll sure share pictures after it's done..

[@tomwagemans1872]

Nice sleeper. I always liked de boxy looking Maseratis. Subcribed!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

wicked car,came from reddit subbed.......nice,youtube is a crazy good resource to do things

[@kyleking3087]

I've followed you from Facebook to instagram but I just realized you've been posting here, instant sub before I watched the video

[@DabsWithDan]

Very different series than the rest out there. Super hype

[@edwardhall3931]

Looks awesome dude... but I noticed a severe lack of stickers on the car

[@projectmeatball4113]

I'm not much of a sticker guy, at least on the outside. If I get some good ones I might stick them around

[@obi-potobi790]

Where you're going you don't need stickers.. Subbed.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

i love the concept , i do have a little more Automotive experience and i’m kind of leaning towards doing something similar Sure the Bi Turbos are undesirable but i like that because you can find them pretty cheap in somewhat decent shape honestly i’ve been looking at 4 doors and for a sedan they are a little more luxorius than a average used Japanese 4 door but a little cooler than a used Mercedes Benz i’m kind of leaning towards a LS motor swap and haven’t decided on a transmission. although i’ll probably stick to whatever the actual Vehicle was stock originally as in Automatic or Standard it would be a matching transmission to the LS motor tried and tested in a General Motors production vehicle for easier trouble shooting and parts available i do like your Chinese Turbo and other performance upgrades on your rear end. you should think about a Ford 9 inch narrowed and. you should be able to remachine the Maserati axles to fit it to keep the stock wheels and tires for Stealthy look etc. sure you may need to swap gearing but that’s all easily available for those and reasonably priced otherwise i do like what you did with the explanations , i say that because my original thought on the Swiss Cheese trunk was it’s a little Jenky but. the explanation for pure functionality and cooling makes sense although at the moment i can’t recall the Aftermarket radiator company that everyone uses to put V 8 engines in MGBs and other British cars that may make one to fit upfront in the grill but they are pricey too many Cobras have them too which of course a AC is a British car Platform that Carol Shelby Used as he began his racing Career driving British Cars and loved their handling

[@artbk]

Also came from Reddit! Awesome project!

[@n3v3rgunn45]

I love it! I saw this on reddit and had to follow this oddball amazing project. Keep at it man!

[@johanahlberg813]

Cool project, keep up the good work

[@bamman565]

Keep it up, IMO if you're currently still filming (which from what you said, it seems like you are) as you're working and getting stuff done, once you finish a task or before you start it just give a brief explanation as to what you're doing and why. For example "I'm about to cut out this part of the frame so I can weld in new mounts" or like "just finished fabricating a new bracket to help install the diff". I feel as a viewer small things like that keep me engaged. You don't have to do it for everything but I feel like it drives me to pay attention and enjoy the content more. Keep up the good work, and do what you feel is best for you, the crowd that vibes with you will stay and grow!

[@projectmeatball4113]

You'll be happy to hear then that in all of the recordings I do exactly that, I explain what I'm doing and what my thought process is even if it turns out to be a mistake haha

[@bamman565]

@@projectmeatball4113 awesome! I can't wait to watch it!

[@lstz31]

lets see some more videos of this thing!

[@projectmcnasty6160]

Love it! I too am trying to figure out how to post 3 years of an LS swap on my esprit and I think you did it well. It’s tough to just jump in without bringing folks up to speed. Given me some ideas on how to approach that- like you I rather work on it that edit it.... these swaps are so overwhelming already and walking out daily thinking - which one of the 100 issues should I tackle today- gets old... I usually grab a beer and “plan”... thanks for the inspiration and i think there is a total business plan on sloppy swapping every biturbo out there! It’s a cool car and with a simple 5.3 - people would buy it up! You saved yourself like a year with Terminator X.... wish I started with that. Keep it up and let the haters hate- that car was saved from the crusher!

[@dennisferron8847]

This is such an inspiration! Here I am overthinking my engine swap project that doesn't even require fabrication. To see what you've done just working in the driveway reminds me of what can be accomplished if you just go for it.

[@eirewind]

Go Danny Go!!!

[@CiDirkona]

Hello, Reddit!

[@jakelize1]

nice project car!! how much power are you going for? i myself, started a 5.3 biturbo on a 740 wagon twin 6766! keep it up!!

[@projectmeatball4113]

Thanks, goals for now is hopefully 550-600 on low boost. The limiting factor will definitely be the injectors, but honestly that should be more than enough power for such a light car, at least for a few months lol

[@dinobuddy]

6:09: I can't believe that rock wasn't a problem

[@projectmeatball4113]

That rock got TOSSED. Stock biturbos are all terrain vehicles

[@dcppap4483]

Can't wait to see more!

[@eyecanfixthat8802]

WELL DONE! Can't wait to see the progress! Subscribed!

[@markbury141]

Good work laying out mechanical design, doing burnouts is kinda childish and not good for the u joints, I could tell you were young by the Subaru and beard, which every young car enthusiast has. Looking forward to seeing your project continue. I have a Biturbo also.

[@kimkimkim2634]

I came from reddit too. I really like the project! I'm looking forward to watch the next episodes!

[@aka_pierre]

Been following this for a while, you should put a mesh screen over the hole in the trunk under the radiator to prevent rock chips from punching a hole in your radiator.

[@Drew_Pearson]

Been following along on Reddit for a couple months - excited to see the videos!

[@spankbank8506]

I just seen one of these on marketplace with no engine for 850. Paint and interior is mint. First thing i did was go to youtube and searched sbc swapped Maserati biturbo 😂😂 im still watching the intro. I guess this vid will determine my purchase🤙🏁
