Can’t wait to hear the engine at full noise!!! You, like me, have tasted how good PDM are and it’s going to be difficult to go back to fuses and relays!

[@adman6380]

Getting closer, well done Matt

[@wrathofbod]

Cant eait to see this on the track, great stuff.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Sounds sick dude! Nice one!

[@derekcomer4858]

The amount of adjustment and detail with this is insane, should be a huge asset moving forward 👍

[@53jed]

And sideways.

[@xavierbabin4451]

The engine sound like bike!! Super work Hello from France 🇫🇷

[@markstone3938]

Awesome build

[@davidlawrencebanks4610]

The engine sounded strong and quick to rev... Awesome. Going to be quick..LAG

[@jamesfoxall2844]

Atleast it started there's a good thing..

[@billybike57]

Always like you videos!

[@rodeastell3615]

Great video

[@paulriggers1558]

running with no exhaust reminds me of the time i was moving an allegro on the starter, with no manifolds on. unfortunately the petrol pump [which is below the open head] supplied lots of petrol straight down it's neck, full throttle across the main dealer workshop, + luckily i missed everything... but run my ankle over...

[@Urchfab]

Dang

[@peterbonnez]

Great stuff

[@peteredwards9147]

Fantastic

[@rustandoil]

Impressive 😎

[@martinultimatevw3779]

Good job on the tumbnail 😅😂👌👌

[@alybabouche]

merci très intéressant....très beau projet

[@47VD74]

Золотые руки!

[@SonofChurchill]

😕 No Racing this year. Something look forward next year.

[@biscayforex4317]

Sounds like a Renault 10

[@TheAndoid]

Awesome 😎

[@aobdesigned3881]

If you need recommendations for a good exhaust guy in your area Matt, drop me a PM. 👍

[@shakuhachi_cover_007]

Bravo!! 👏 🧙‍♂🧚🧚‍♂🧚‍♀🎶

[@cgmachanic]

Um I came to see fire

[@Urchfab]

I thought all my content was fire 🔥 Sorry

[@rognevs5695]

Lovely bit of kit, wish it was around years gone by farting around with old looms and ecu’s for days

[@deopersad2915]

Wow 👍🏽👍🏽

[@terencehawkes3933]

Kewl!

[@Ecosse57]

sounds balsy! what's the redline on that wee tractor motor?

[@Urchfab]

I’m not actually sure.

[@Ecosse57]

@@Urchfab lord hates a coward! 😁

[@wobbler6372]

What degree of timing you running

[@Urchfab]

No idea

[@minmog]

C&E Plant?

[@Urchfab]

Yep

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

I’d be interested to see what weight oil you’d get away with because that treacle has got to be responsible for loads of drag in the gearbox ?? What is the fastest guy using ?😂

[@johnclarke6542]

My mate uses miller's 10w60 on the track in his Mx5 turbo conversion ,thought the same but it does make sense, he's flat out all the time the oil degrades quickly the engines sound mint, the engines are from the 323 turbo many moon ago

[@peterhills5594]

Miller's 20/50 CTV has been developed for racing minis, it's what most of the grid use and many of the best engine builders, that or Valvoline. Important thing is high ZDDP content to help protect gearbox, the oil has two jobs in an A series.

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

@@peterhills5594 Seams really counter intuitive doesn’t it ? But what works , works. Cheers boys

[@Urchfab]

That’s what was recommended to me bud.

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

@@Urchfab I now know it’s right because of the gearbox inclusion. Wild setup. For 60-70 year old design. Cheers dude

[@boredom.victim]

like number 420 W00T

[@frederik32212]

Nice photoshop... err, flames!

[@angelsone-five7912]

Sounds awesome but all that electronic stuff would fry my 68 year old brain.

[@Garffey]

Great stuff Matt ...that motor sounds so sweet can't wait to see it charging around some tracks!....good shout out for Millers oils they are local to me and I've used their stuff for years.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

This Mini just keeps getting cooler and cooler, love ya work Matt, very nice clean build😊, watching from The Real Down Under Tasmania Australia🍺🍻🍺🍻 🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧😎👍✌

[@Urchfab]

Thanks mate

[@g0fvt]

The engine does seem very responsive, your engine stabiliser must be good too, no pitching at all. The PDM looks very configurable, really looking good.

[@johnclarke6542]

The build is coming together you should have some good fun in it, love the quality of your work not sure why you chose a Merc not a lot to weld to on them

[@Urchfab]

It was a cheap late night impulse buy followed by immediate regret 😂

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

Weirdly, I'm just as excited to see this fire up as I am about the Volvoghini first start that showed up one video above in my subscription box.

[@JamesYoung61]

I didn't realise quite how many different inputs you could include into a switch function that you can with a PDM and your intro is just spot on.

[@JamesChurchill3]

One thing to note with the green indicator lights, that indication is only valid while the PDM thinks the output is on, it doesn't account for physical issues for example a pump failure, you'll want to include some protection logic around engine temps or oil pressure, if engine temp is higher than your engine can withstand then limit max rpm to 700 etc, that sort of thing. Looking good though, it'll be a beast.

[@beezo2560]

That throttle response was quick. Sounds good Matt.

[@oldieman730]

Looking great, sounds great. Lots of good info about the PDM too, thanks

[@stiligru8468]

ahaha what a clickbait on preview like it :)

[@meXicossie]

Love to hear a mini tickover…unless it’s very cammy sounds saweet!!!

[@hebertchairez5330]

[@jakobrebeki]

matt, for some reason youtube has hidden my sub and notification?....you only appeared on YT recomendations....

[@Urchfab]

Press the notification bell 👍

[@jakobrebeki]

@@Urchfab Matt, I did that before and have had no problems till now. I am just hoping that its just me and no one else. KZbin unsubbed me, dont know why. All hooked back in now. Thanks Matt....

[@MartinMcMartin]

I hate living in NZ when it comes to car stuff, in our pesos that is over 4 grand landed here.

[@Urchfab]

Jeez, do you earn 4 times as much over there?

[@MartinMcMartin]

@@Urchfab WE wish! most are on 20 ish bucks an hour, equivalent to 10 quid. So car guys here are pretty dedicated.

[@TheMrroliatmot]

these flames!

[@jlucasound]

Sounds a lot like my ZX-1400 Ninja with a Hindle full stainless header. 200+ HP at rear wheel. 🏍🏎🚗😃

[@kittonsmitton]

LOL I was waiting for the flames!

[@Jut123]

Call it the petit pois

[@hobbies6396]

Sounds great

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

Well done Mr 😎

[@raw-amg4396]

I’ve just got into the aim stuff, thanks to videos like this I’ve made the right choice

[@Urchfab]

It’s definitely quality kit 👌

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Wow!

[@emyrevans7975]

I used a heavy duty hydraulic line for my engine once, pipe didn’t have enough flexibility, half way through a rally the fitting on oil cooler snapped off. End of rally ☹️

[@Urchfab]

I think I will get another one as I’m not happy with the routing. 👍

[@fredjames9867]

Any reason you picked millers over valvoline

[@Urchfab]

It was recommended to me.
