Where i come from a large hammer is referred to by those who lived through it as a “Russian Screw driver”

[@brentspang9092]

Jeff, I would have used some oval stainless exhaust tube to make an intake and move the MAF to a more spacious location.

"Finessed... With a large Hammer"

[@tommilner5415]

bonjour madame jeff, sil vous plait retourner à oxley

[@wswan81]

Its called 'percussive clearancing' 😂😂

[@nazdagg2027]

funny, you get an idea, then form plans, then when you start the work and really get into it, you find the job sort of designs itself. you just have to see what's happening and stick with it. sure is entertaining to watch somebody else do this stuff.

[@Cliff_Anderson]

As all the solder-haters form up behind Andre at HP Academy with pitchforks and torches...

[@Greatadventure124]

I'm getting annoyed...Very seldom starting or driving anything....But admire your dedication !!

[@XEFairmont]

Lol yep measure twice ..... then measure again. cut and weld. THEN cut it to pieces and do it by eye. Been there and I'll do it again. Good on you mate.😁🤣👍

[@margaretamorelius890]

Exciting building projects! Have fixed old cars but nothing close to what you do. :)

[@gazzafloss]

Jeff, the reason for the electric vacuum pump is that those engines have a lot of valve overlap and under some throttle conditions generate little manifold vacuum, that elec pump is necessary I think. And the correct term for the "hammer work" is "massaged"...

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I may even remove the booster all together in the future as unassisted brakes have much better feel.

[@glensgraphix]

Great work doing those engine mounts. When you did the first ones I though they looked like a dogs breakfast. But this YOUR car not mine. Then you fixed them in the end anyway. To a much better mount and tidier looking ones too. Good work.

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

Love your dedication mate, keep up the great work!

[@clivewilliams1406]

Putting the air intaked through to the boot area of the car is a bad idea and should be relegated to the junk box. The rear of the car will be a low pressure area and the engine will have to compete with the air being sucked out of the boot when you add the necessary vents. Then there's the issue about ducting through a structural member that similarly is not a good idea. The result will be a loss of power that would not be welcome. The existing air intake is where Porsche designed the engine to breathe from and thus must be considered as the optimum position.

[@Mr_Spegru]

Glad to see the back of those old engine mounts. I've seen the Alfarrari ones so I'm sure these will be beautiful! As someone else here said I think, why not just move the MAF round and connect the inlet with a simple hose?

[@danandyong6653]

The Pvc may look different on the outside, but my first idea would be to open the cap exchange inner parts. Cap should have clip tabs holding the cover on

[@timhooper5404]

So Jeff, does porschepartsbyjeff sell audi parts now too?

[@garynorman5179]

Big thanks on your contribution to silliness.Its going to go awesome on track.

[@difacilprojects6676]

Let's go! another step closer to the end! Fantastic episode again!

[@neilmchardy9061]

Bit like the Alfa, you should be able to whistle and the engine will jump in and out itself.

[@Larentuubi]

Use your eye protection when drilling🤓

[@87rover49]

Wondering if the intake can be turned around to point towards the front of the car?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

That wont help me. Then the intake would have to be in the cabin.

[@jubiletabustamanteserrano2446]

EL VIDEO INTERESANTE PERO HABLAS UN MONTON Y HACES POCO AMIGO

[@truthseeker8483]

It honks like a goose.......haha

[@Mrskyline25t]

Your first draft is for yourself.

[@richardculbertson8027]

Jeff just wondered why you didn't choose to have the 2 parts of the subframe bolt together by having a dowel on the back part that fits inside the front tube. Is it because of the lack of height to get a bolt through it

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Because the bolts will more than do the job

[@nigelk780]

Engine fits as a race car but not as a daily road car. Always more work than you think.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Plenty of others who daily this engine swap ;)

[@HillSideKonnection]

What cutoff discs are you using? They don't seem to last long at all!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I don't like the current brand very much

[@duncangilson9642]

Please take the horrible spoiler off .........!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

DRS, it is my secret weapon!

[@azharsyarawi]

You’re a genius. One percent inspiration (though I think you have way more than that) and ninety nine percent perspiration (we could tell it’s way more than what you’ve shown us - probably tossing and turning till you’ve reached your ‘aha’ moment). Absolutely enjoying all your videos mate. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@tim205Mi]

Looks like if you cut the silicone elbow back (where it joins the AFM not the end you have already cut) and moving the AFM back would give you more room….?

[@tonydegouveia9256]

As we say in South Africa "The bigger the problem, the bigger the hammer! " Love how you tackle the obstacles that invariably pop up when working on projects such as these. Keep up the great work.

[@AudreyH48]

It's great to see someone just fix a broken part rather then replace. When that cam sensor broke I instantly figured you'd buy a different one. Great Job so far!

[@mclarenjohnf1]

More logic going in to this build, it looks like the mods to the subframe are going to make your life easier if you have to do some serious maintenance after a hard days on track. I would recommend a bigger persuader for bodywork.

[@paulcrombach7262]

Doing twice is just how projects work. You make a first version, realize what you would wanted to have built and have to remake it. Progressing insight is the name of the game. Keep on keeping on Jeff!

[@amraceway]

As this is to be a track car could you remove the rear panels and just have the outer panels on a dreaded square steel frame held on with dzus fasteners. Easy rear access is everything they tell me.

[@jameswalsh1690]

Loving the Top Gun style sound track Jeff! Need to put on a set of aviators and a flight jacket to complete the drama!😄

[@jamest5149]

Keeping the carbon canister is always the best idea, the car (and garage) will stink if removed and the car is much safer with it in operation 👍

[@djambrosia]

Getting a turbo in there's gonna be tricky.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Heaps of room for turbos :D

[@jjmcoupebmw6557]

First......for once.

[@atanasivanov5017]

The second vacuum inlet is for before TB, there have more vacuum under FT.

[@timwhalan6417]

👍🏻🍺👏

[@pascaljeske7307]

Wow very nice Video Love it best Work the Rock Star ❤️👍👍❤️

[@FredLarracuente]

Great job so far Jeff! Great video update as always. Love to see you work!

[@george8718]

Your an incredible metal fabricator 👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾

[@tym7883]

Just say “because race car” whenever you have to take a hammer to it! 😂

[@francisouellette5938]

Finessing, that is a lost art. Go Jeff go. Cheers mate.

[@dudeonbike800]

OK, at 15:19, you said, "I can sort of shoehorn this in, bolt it in and..." BOB'S YOUR UNCLE!!! RIGHT???? But NOOOOOO, you didn't say it! Noooo!! Such the PERFECT opportunity! Damn you Aussie for not saying what could have, would have, SHOULD HAVE been the PERFECT down-under turn of phrase!!! My anticipation was completely dashed. Boo, hoo :(

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Bob's your Aunties Live in Lover ;)

[@ez_isaac1394]

Who's making the smoke rings next to you 😂

[@delswanson3593]

I'm digging the flames in the paint....

[@b3nny90]

I've asked this before. But why the love for so much square tubing? Will make it look nicer and easier to work with when it's round tube. (My opinion)

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

As Lassi has said, square tube is FAR easier to work with and this is already more than strong enough.

[@svenT16]

Finessed... :-D loving it.!!!

[@alienpoker]

I call my large hammer @17:50 “The Persuader”

[@MR_equis]

Here is another material you can use to make engine mounts. I have made a few engine mounts out of this. www.mcmaster.com/rubber/rubber/shape~rod-and-disc/material~polyurethane-rubber/

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

That looks like it would work, but the bushings are a cheap easy off the shelf item that is ready to go ;)

[@stevenwest1494]

What's the most amount of times you've taken an engine in or out of a car in a month? More than 4? 😂

[@gazzafloss]

You have to remember most of the engine "in and outs" Jeff is doing is a long way from what has to be done by a person pulling an engine for rebuild then replacing it afterwards. Not to take away from the great efforts he puts in to keep us entertained...

[@motoramavlog]

Finessed... Yeah!

[@ezacher4634]

How much weight penalty from the swap?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Watch the vid where I weighed them ;)

[@stuartd9741]

20kg. Mind Jeff's junked the air conditioning so that including all pipes and ancillaries would be at least 10 kg...so only a 10kg weight penalty...
