Gramps the 11 Second Car - Build Part 6

[Intro] -[Moog] My underpants -[Marty] Unbelievable. -we're so soiled, -Unbelievable. -they we're leaking: oh, hello! -Oh. And welcome to another episode of MightyCarMods. My friend: Martin, and I -the build continues, Martin. -The build of 'Gramps' version 2.0 the 11 second car, that is going to be so practical and so suitable for everyday use, it is gonna tick every single box. [music] "After taking up well over a week on the hoist, the car finally rolls and can be pushed out into the yard." "

Only the fuel tank and lines will remain from the original fuel system. The rest, we have to change." My next job is to replace the fuel pump. This will still have the factory one in it: we're gonna put in a high-flow, Walbro fuel pump. Which means we can pump plenty of petrol up to that engine, and also some E85, jungle juice. "Using a flex sensor, we'll be able to run normal, 98 Octane premium unleaded or an Ethanol blend." "The sensor will detect the Ethanol content and adjust the tune accord

ingly." "It means we can get all the benefits of Ethanol-based fuel, while still being able to get fuel" "from just about anywhere." "The stock pump is not going to be able to supply the flow and pressure of fuel that the engine will require." "So, it's coming out." "We're also gonna drain the tank of any old fuel that may have been sitting around, going off." This is the factory fuel pump out of the car. We've got ourselves a high-flow, Walbro fuel pump. With a biiiiiig motor on the bottom of i

t. Um, that will help supply the fuel that the car needs. And, we are going to be running E85. It uses more fuel: the fuel has different properties. Uh, so we need a decent sized fuel pump: that's going to go in there. That's going to fit into the factory bracket with a little bit of fettling. Um and just need to change the wiring And, we'll be done. "You almost always have to re-use the factory filter sock from the Subaru pump." "This makes sure the pump still reliably picks up fuel from the bo

ttom of the tank." "The connectors can then be crimped on, using the supplied fuel-resistant plugs." I've cleaned out the tank as much as I can to get rid of any sediment or dirt that's floating around. -[air powered rattle gun] -Uh, but: this is now done and ready to go back in. Next up: I've got to run some wiring down from the HalTech to the fuel pump. So, we're gonna crimp on a new connector. "The good thing about running new wiring is that it takes out some of the mystery" "out of wiring up

the car for the install." "It means we can simplify it and trouble-shoot easily." "We've been so busy modifying this car, we still haven't managed to eject some of the old filth out." So, a man in a truck just delivered this. -[bag rustling] -Which: should be, [bubble-wrap rustling] Some HalTech gear, that's fresh off the press. Literally, one of the first ones in existence: yes it is! That: is a HalTech ELITE. Look at the smile! You excited? Got some more CAN BUS cables: oh, yes! That's pretty

cool. "With a working fuel pump and a clean tank, the car can be pushed back inside the 'shop," "so we can continue the build." [Dose Vader/Miles] So, we're going to, cut the mouth of the bar out, to allow room for the intercooler. Um, we need as much space as we can, cause the intercooler comes out the front a fair way. So, I've marked it here: we're gonna trim along the lines that I've got. Uh, make it as close as we can without it making it look ugly. Mad. Let's chop it! Right-o. "Modifying

the front bumper as little as possible keeps the sleeper look." Paint these black. -'cos, otherwise, when you look through the grille... -Are you eating jerky again?!?! -Sorry Dose Vader. What were you saying? -Oh, that's OK. Uh, yeah: we'll paint these black, cause otherwise, when you look through the grille and see these shiny, things, with a nice intercooler: we want to make it look all nice and black. BLAAACK! [grinding noise] Oh, Miles! -Sorry! -Excuse you, mate! -You alright? -Must be the

jerky. [music] "We're using a front mounted, air-to-air intercooler set-up." "In order to have the shortest possible piping runs, were making a small cut underneath the headlights" "to run our hot and cold side piping through." "Turbo Yoda then starts mocking up our up-pipe, which will carry the exhaust up into the turbo." So, now the engine has a gutful of oil, we're also gonna change the oil in the diff and in the gearbox. So, we're going to undo these two, drain it out if it's got anything in

it, and then replace it. And also stick in some gearbox oil too. "It is a total luxury to able to use workshop-style tools. And sure beats crawling around on your back" "and getting oil in your face." [air-powered rattle gun] "The wheels look pretty bad, so I'm taking them off, so I can sand them back and re-paint them for a better look." "Next up, we drain the gearbox of any residual oil so we can re-fill it." "Subarus have a diff in the front of the gearbox, so we're using 80-90W Castrol gear

oil." [Turbo Yoda/Al] Alright, so: yesterday, we: we were fiddling around with, uh, our V-Bands: where they come off the end of the headers that we've already finished and fitted to the car. This is the start of what's gonna be the secondary piping. So, that's coming off the driver's side header, this is heading up towards the up-pipe. And, I've just started roughing out the merge from the other side. So, that'll come through and go across to the other side header with: with a flex joint in the

middle of it. Then, we'll have to start working on, making that into the up-pipe: up to the turbo. Which is, a little bit tricky. But, this should be: shouldn't be too much of a drama. "Our brakes need some hydraulic fluid to work, so we're filling up the master cylinder" "and flushing out the entire system." Dose Vader, I am constantly impressed by all the tools that you guys have. Like, all the mad toys. But, you guys do this all-day, everyday, so it makes sense. What's this one? Uh, this is

what we use when we're changing brake fluid in a car. So, as well as, uh, filling the reservoir in the car, we fill this bottle with: or, half-fill it with fluid. We screw the lid on it. It's, uh: it'll be sealed. You then, can turn it upside down and put it inside the, uh, opening to the reservoir, and, clip it onto the side so it doesn't move. You then open this tap and it dribble feeds into here. And, obviously, it won't let any more fluid into the reservoir than where the header level of the

fluid is. That way, when you're underneath changing the brake fluid, you don't have worry about keep: poking your head up, to make sure you haven't run out of brake fluid. Cause, there's nothing worse, is it? -Nothing worse. -Cause, like, when you're, like, bleeding your brakes: 'Yeah! I've done it!' And then it goes, 'crrrrr!' Exactly: and then you've got air in the system and you have to start again Oh, let's not do that! Mad! Let's go! [music] So, instead of having to pump the pedal, we're g

onna use this sucker. Which will suck the fluid back through, from the back calipers, from the master cylinder. "We can use the same React Dot 4 fluid in the clutch master cylinder," "which then also needs to be bled to remove any air." "A flex join in the crossover pipe will allow some degree of movement" "when the system heats up and cools down." "Meanwhile, 'Old Cock' from the radiator shop lets me to use his media blasting cabinet" "and I strip the all old paint off Al's 90's spec, Sparco wh

eels." "The clamps allow for easy installation and removal of the headers. Which is a good thing," "cause they'll go on and off the car count-less times to ensure a good fit." Is it going to work, Al? Oh: I'm not finished yet. -I know but, -Easy... are you: are you confident? -Yeah. -Are you sure? Yeah, but it's heavy. "We are limited by how far back we can lean the turbo." "Subaru engine bays make this quite a challenge, as the turbo core needs to be as close to horizontal" "as possible, to all

ow good oil flow." "The position will be determined by available space and how the up-pipe supports the turbo." Is this the trickiest part, Turbo Yoda? Um, yeah. It's: -It's reasonably difficult, yeah. -Cause, there's a lot less piping for the same amount of time, as the headers. You know what I mean? -It's just trying to position the turbo's very, um, -Tricky? sensitive. I detect: slight frustration, -Oh. -because this is the tricky bit. Is that right? -Ever so slight frustration, yeah. -Why? A

h, it's just hard to position the turbo and get all the pipes working and that. All at once. Yeah: cause, for the same amount of fabrication time we've made, like, you know, one or two little bits: -Yeah. -as apposed to the headers, which, pretty much, came together pretty easily. -It's -So, what: why is it difficult to position? I mean, there are a few variables, right? Yep. So, you can turn it on a lot of axises, you've got a lot of pipe-joins, that we can: twist and move. We've got to try and

get the: the compressor's housing has only got a very limited space that it can fit in, because of all the brake, um, master cylinders and stuff are there. So. we can't afford to get it in the wrong place. We also need to keep it from tilting back too far, so the oil drain -works properly. -Mm-hm. -Um -Cause, this: and this is a fairly heavy turbo. So, even -Holding it while you positioning it is hard. -It's not very heavy, but it is when you've got to hold it for 20 minutes. [laughs] So: cause

, we're basically: we're kinda aiming it out that way, right? Like, we're trying not to get too much tilt either way. And -without getting it too far forward or back also? -Yeah. The rearward tilt is the: -is the issue. -Right. So, we're just trying to keep it kinda: -just vertical? -Yeah. -Pretty much. -Cool. Then, we'll keep fiddling then. We'll get there. [music] [metallic clanking and clattering] I suppose the other considerations are also, like: you don't want to be too close to your brake

or clutch master cylinder, you don't want to rub on your intake, there'll be fuel lines. There's all sorts of stuff there, really, isn't it? Yes. It's a typical Subaru engine bay. There're: everything's everywhere. It's gonna fit. -I know it's gonna fit. -So, it's gotta come out and we gotta weld it -I have complete faith that it's working. -and put it back in. It's end of the day: we've got to do this. Oh, really? It's happening before we go home today? Is it? Can't go home when it's just about

mounted. -I didn't know that was a rule, but I really like that rule. -It IS a rule. "The sun starts to set, but Al is only just getting started." "The manifolds need to be removed every time the up-pipe is adjusted, or the turbo is moved." "We kept working away as it got darker outside: to get the turbo in just the right spot." So, the next step then is to, kind of, weld up all the joins you've made along them the front bit of the up-pipe? Is that right? -We'll weld all these and leave that un

til -[metallic clattering] we've made the bracing, that we're gonna put on top of the turbo: cause, this isn't gonna support the turbo's weight. We need to put bracing out of -of this, um, -[metallic clattering] V-Band weld-on. Cause, that's the thickest point. It's a lot easier when it's a four-bolt flange, but it's obviously not as cool. Cause, with a four-bolt flange, you can you can go up underneath the flange and use those as support. So: weld, weld, weld: leave that one, cause that's where

we'll have a little bit of movement to make sure -we're not gonna hit anything. -We'll tack some and let it move around a bit. Yep. And then, so: bracing, get it in the right spot, and then: last thing weld that up, right? Yeah, that's right. We'll weld it on the car. [some form of air-powered tool] I can't believe it all packages up in there. -[laughs] -That's a lot of stuff! -It doesn't want to! -An engine that's way too big, this, that we've moved. This, that's new. Like, it's all just: [squ

eaking] It's in there. -Now, we have to brace it. -Yep. -Brace yourselves. -Job for tomorrow, I think. -Job for tomorrow? Are we done? -Yep. Mad! Turbo's mounted. Let's go home. -[brusher] -['Flee The City' - Moog] "I couldn't handle the idea of driving around on beat-up wheels." "So, I decided a quick rattle-can make over would make sure that Gramps would look really neat and tidy." We're running Brembo brakes on Gramps, which are quite a bit bigger than normal factory brakes. -Uh, a lot of sta

ndard wheels won't clear them, so -[phone rings] Turbo Yoda managed to dig up these Sparco wheels. Which we a bit rough and needed some love. but, with some paint, they should come up and look pretty good. So, Al: it's a new day, and, last night, we got our turbo mounted. -Yep. -Which is, very, very exciting. So, what are the next steps to make it work? Um, so: we've got our up-pipe and everything made. Um, Obviously, you can't just let: sit the turbo on top of the up-pipe, it's too heavy, -Yep.

-it will just fatigue and the up-pipe will break. -And there's movement there too, right? So: -Yeah: it's gonna expand, it's gonna move around with, with, the heat. -Um, so we've got to support it. -Mm-hm. So, cause we don't have a four-bolt flange, we got a V-Band: that's sort of makes it a little bit more difficult, because, you've got: no easy method of support. You can't just put a couple of bolts up underneath -Yeah. -through the turbo and the flange. -Cause it: there's two bits of flat me

tal. -Yeah. -Which is -you just: you just support it from underneath. -The ledge of the flange. -Yeah, yeah. Uh, so what we've: we've had this machined up -that's just a piece of stainless steel. -Yep. What we're gonna do is: -we're gonna section it through the middle. -Mm-hm. And, -disgard or keep the other bit for later. -Yep. And that's gonna cup around the exhaust -uh, up-pipe. -Yep. And, we're gonna weld it to the actual V-Band -weld-on, cause it's a thick piece of steel. -Right. So, it can

handle -that being welded to it. -Yeah. If we were to weld that to the, the pipe, -it would, eventually, crack the pipe. -Cause, that pipe's got a thin wall Cause, it's thin wall. Um, so: Yeah, that's: that's that's how we're gonna do it. -OK. -Um, and then We've got a piece of that: that's gonna -basically go off there. -Yep. -It'll be about that long. -Mm-hm. Two bolt holes. And then, we make a bracket, that then comes across from the gearbox bell housing. -And that will bolt to that bracket.

So, -And cause there's bolts, that means: -there's the tiniest bit of movement. -Yeah There will be movement. It's: that There has to be. Because, otherwise, you will you'll still break it. So, it needs to move around. Um, with expansion. But, not: -too much. -Got it. "It's now time to start positioning our rather big external waste-gate." "The closer we can tuck it up under the car, the less likely it is a speed hump will remove it for us." -That'll work. -Beautiful! "This kind of forward thin

king is essential when making manifolds from scratch." "All the way to the turbo and associated parts have to be supported and not just by the pipes themselves." Alright, so this is, uh, part of our bracket: support bracket for the turbo, uh, up-pipe. So, I just wanted to show you something. Uh, this little handy tip for when you're trying to make brackets, like this, that are in difficult to get at places. like: the bell housing, in this instance. So, we've gotta: like, a rough shape so, it's g

onna, um, fit in there. But, we need to get our hole spacing correct. So, I got one hole, -cause it's obviously -[metallic clattering] not going to be an issue. So, -[metallic clanking] -we're gonna put -[metallic clattering] -that in there. -[metallic clattering] -Leave it out the way, for the moment. And, what I've done is, we're gonna get a bolt like that. That: that normally screws into the bell housing. This is a 10x1.25 thread in this case. We're gonna cut it off. And, we're gonna sharpen

the end into a point. And then we can screw that into the: into the hole very lightly. And, that's gonna give us an accurate distance between the two. So, what we do is then, come down here, seat that where we want. And then give it a little, put a little pressure on it: give it a little scratch. -Pull her out. -[metallic clattering] There's, basically, our punch point to drill our second hole. And we know it's gonna fit, cause it's got a good marker there. "This bracket will allow a small amoun

t of movement, which is also essential." "If you ever need examples, take a look at turbo factory cars for ideas." "The bracket can then be bent using an extremely high-tech, state-of-the-art bending device." (Oh, yeah: that's high-tech, alright) So, Al: that's the bracket that's gonna hold our turbo to the gearbox? That's right. So, you might notice, that there's actually two pieces it's made out of. So, they've just been laid over the top of each other. The reason that we do that is, one is to

get more shear strength. So, that's, basically gonna have the strength of a: of a um, 6mm plate. But, the reason why we do it in that method is, because it allows more expansion movement, between the two. If you have a look underneath a lot of cars, you'll know there's a lot of exhaust, uh, support brackets and stuff like that are made in this manner. And, it's for that reason. It allows them to: to move around. And, we're not talking a lot of movement: we just talking expansion. So, millimetre

s. But, every time that the: it heats up and cools down, that happens. So, this stops things from cracking. -So, you'd see that in a lot of factory cars? -Yeah. A lot of: a lot of exhaust -bracketry and support stuff like that, -Yep. it is made in this method. Is it getting hotter because it's turbo-charged stuff? -Or, does it not really make a difference? -Nah, all: all exhaust systems get hot: it's part of the operation of the engine. Um, Only thing we're doing is, putting it up into the engin

e bay, which is makes it so there's more stuff to cook! [laughs] But, we just have to sort that out by, um -heat-shielding and turbo beanies: that sort of thing. -Sweet. -These are the ultimate modifying food I believe. -[paper rustling] Indeed. If you're gonna do up a car, these go hand-in-hand. -You need energy. -You do. -Kebabs provide. -You can make 'em: look, look at this. Kebab power! We don't even need the turbo anymore. ['Ride' - Moog] "Our headers have to come out once again, so the sup

porting collar can be welded on the V-Band flange." "I hate that word." "Once it's supported by the bracket on the gearbox, we can check the turbo placement." [air-powered drill, somehow meeting the beat] [air-powered drill] "Al relocates his Tig welder, so we can make the final join on the up-pipe while it's still in the car" "and with the turbo in place." "As the stainless steel expands and contracts from the heat of the Tig welder, the pipes can move around." "Doing it this way ensures the tu

rbo stays in exactly the right position." So, Al: I would say that today was quite heavy on the fiddly fab. Would you agree? Yeah, it's been pretty fiddly: but we got there. -So -And the turbo's -it's mounted! -Yeah. It's properly mounted now. It's: all the support bracketry and everything's made. It's worked out really well. So, I'm happy. Now, we just gotta, continue on with dump-pipes, intercooler. And so, to make that intercooler: to make the piping for the intercooler, cause we're obviously

gonna come down here, from the front of the turbo, run across those power steering hoses and out the hole that Dose Vader made, Yep. Um, so you're thinking of using an aluminium snout, rather than a silicon? Yeah. I think we'll: we'll, cut the end off the compressor outlet and weld this on. Um, just purely because there's not enough room for a silicon bend. Um, to slip on there, without clashing with things, so. Um. Yeah. We can: we can do it, so we're going to. Awesome. And then, it's just plu

mbing from going to from then on, right? Because, we've got uh, our oil return, we've got to get an oil feed to the turbo, and then coolant in and out each side of it. Yeah? Yeah. We'll do a bit of plumbing as well. Um, waste-gate, as well. Intercooler. And then, we're probably gonna start looking at wiring. So, a couple of days. Getting there. The wheels are getting a clear coat for extra, shiny madness. "Now that we're happy with the turbo position, we can start to fab up the dump-pipe." "It'l

l need to snake around the other side of the steering knuckle and then join the rest of the exhaust." "That we haven't even started yet." "Our dump-pipe is also going to be V-Band. I'm given the Tig torch to continue my Padawan welding journey." "The dump is made much the same way as our headers: using 45 and 90 degree stainless bends." "Constructed with lots of tacking and then checking the fitment." We're at the stage now where we're roughing in the dump-pipe. Now, this is made out of 3-inch,

stainless steel tubing. So far, we've been using 2-inch, for the headers. Up into a 2.5-inch, that goes into the up-pipe, and then, once it's gone through the turbo, and been whizzed around and it's usefulness is spent, it's going into 3-inch. Now, this is not under as much pressure as the other stuff, so we don't have to go quite as crazy with our welding techniques. But, we do have to try and package it in as close as we can to the gearbox, so it doesn't rub anything. And, also, it leaves us p

lenty of space, for our external waste-gate. How do you feel about this dump-pipe, Al? Are you: are you feeling it? Yeah, we just: just need to give it a bit of a slash cut here, so, it's got a bit of ground clearance. And then it's all done. -Just dump it to the ground! -Yeah. And then just this: just go like this and it fits real nicely. Do you think it would sound: -amazing? -It would. It'll sound pretty good. -I think it's probably not quite legal though. -Oh. -Eh, that's for the courts to d

ecide. -[chuckles] -That's probably the go, isn't it? -Yeah, I think that'll work. So then, we can just merge out of here join him in, -Yep. -And then also, the: the um, controller's in the top of it as well, so we're not going to be scraping on the ground. Yep. Winner! Or this. -[laughs] -That would work too. Yeah. It's not: I don't have to drive it, so. -You'd LIKE to drive it though. -Oh, I will. If I'm allowed. I think you've earnt you're: I think you've earnt a drive. -At least one. -Well,

good. -To go stick a tank of E85 in it. -Yeah. "We are burning through the days, but getting more and more excited about finally hearing this beast fire up." "First, we've got to fabricate more stuff and then, wire an ECU." So, Al: we had a weekend. And while I was out getting you a new vice, you finished off our, um our waste-gate. -Yep. -So, how did you end up doing it? Oh, I just it's where we were looking at fitting it. It: it fitted very well there. So, it's right on the merge point of the

two banks, so. It's, uh, a good sp: good spot get the, uh, waste-gate, to, uh, flow well -Yeah. -when it's required. Yep. And, also just, it's the best spot to fit it: probably the more important thing. And so, this then merges into our dump-pipe. We'll throw this into the car and do it. But, before we put in the car, we're gonna wrap that. Yeah: we're just gonna wrap that up-pipe section, because it's close to the steering and CV boot. -Yep -Um, just keep the heat down. Um Yeah and then we can

fit her up. -Awesome. And then, it stays then, right? -Yep. -Doesn't have to come back out. -Yes. [music] Now, as Turbo Yoda said, there's a lot of stuff in the engine bay that can be affected by heat. Part of turbo-charging cars is bringing all that heat up and higher into the engine bay in this Subaru. So, what we're gonna do, is: we're gonna wrap the up-pipe in heat-wrap. Now, it's made out of glass fibres, and it helps insulate the pipes and not as much radiant heat will be pouring off here.

Uh, people also say that it gets heat up into the turbo. May or may not be the case. But, either way, I'm gonna wrap this up-pipe and it's gonna look mad. I've wet it so it goes on easier. (advice for life, right there) And it's gonna go around like that and look mad. "The use of heat wrap can be a little bit controversial." "You do not want it somewhere where it can be subjected to oil leaks "because it can catch fire and ruin your day." "It can also encourage corrosion if used incorrectly. So

, weigh up whether it's right for your application." "In this case, we won't be wrapping all the headers: just the up-pipe." Now, this is our waste-gate re-entry pipe that: where it joins back into the dump pipe. So, that's your V-Band for the waste-gate. Waste-gate sort of sits in here. Comes back down and comes back in. So, um: it's not going to make any noise when, uh, -when the waste-gate's open. -Oh, cool. And so, this is the flex-join we were talking about before. -Yep. -That gives you a l

ittle bit of movement, right? Yeah. It's for, uh: it's for expansion, but it als: it also helps a lot when you're trying to fit them up, because, you'll: when you weld something like that: if it was solid, when you weld it, the metal moves so much, it can be: it: very very difficult to make them line up again, after you've welded it. So -So: -If: if possible, it's better to have a flex in there, just. helps fitment. And this is an external gate. So, this is also a bit different to your normal, k

ind of, factory turbo car, as well. Isn't it? Yeah. Is there any factory turbo cars that have external gates? Uh, yeah. Just mostly old Audis and Porsches: like, 930 Turbos and um -Yep -944 turbos. That sort of stuff. It's not -So, it's more common to package it with a: -Yeah. It's much, much more: more practical to package it in the turbine housing. So, if we were making a screamer pipe: just to put it out there: -That would: -how would this be different, if this was gonna have -a screamer that

runs the whole way. -I wouldn't have to make any of this. We'd go just like this -and it'd go down to the ground. -Right. -And it would make lots of noise. -So, a screamer pipe is called that, because it by-passes the exhaust, but never actually goes -Yeah -back into the rest of the exhaust. -It just gets spat out through one little pipe. -Yeah. So, you'd get a volume of gas that's got no no muffling at all. ['Alive(feat JS7.)' - Moog] "Our dump-pipe is starting to take shape. It should be easy

to get on and off the car for servicing," "and we've also got some brackets on it, so the weight of the dump will be supported under the car." "The rest of the exhaust can then be finished off. This time, using a fusion type of join," "where no filler rod is required." "But a good fit is required to make it work." Alright, so we've made a stainless steel, 3-inch exhaust. Mandible bends, bit of straight tube. Um, Got a resonator: there, in the middle. 100 cell cat at the right up the back there,

near the gearbox, with a V-Band to connect it. Um: this is really easy to get off, so there's no need to put extra flanges in it. Um, the reason why they usually have extra flanges in is on off the shelf stuff, is just for packaging, so they can transport it. You don't need to put a flange in the middle. So, this is our muffler. Was provided by one of our exhaust suppliers. They saw the saw the car when they came up to chat to us and got excited. So, they sent this up, with the rolled-end tip.

It's a pretty nice thing: it welds really well. So, Um, yeah. So, Zechy brand. "Anyone who's interested in or has owned turbo cars will understand why this is cool." "Exhaust flow is everything when it comes to making reliable power. You need as much pressure as possible" "before the turbine and then as little as possible afterwards. So a free-flowing exhaust is very important." "The stainless steel will ensure longevity and resist corrosion," "meaning we can choo-choo for years to come." "We ca

n now bolt the whole system in place and then position our turbo in it's new home. [air-powered drill] So, Al: that one looks slightly different to the rest of our V-Bands. Yeah. What this is, is: a lot of the V-Bands that you get: they don't have a sealing lip. That where one sits inside the other. And, for that reason, they can leak pretty easily. Um: so they're not the be all and end all of sealing. What I've done here, to fix that, is just: just slid this right along the pipe. And welded it.

And, I'm using the mating pipe as the sealing lip. So, this part of the, of this pipe slips inside the other end of the V-Band and that gives you your, basically, an interference for the gas to get out through the: through the seal. Awesome: so, again, no exhaust gaskets required, right? Nah. Which is a good thing, cos, on turbo stuff you need: usually need multi-layered, steel stuff anyway. "The rear of our exhaust can then be slipped into the rubber hangars and it's lookin' awesome." So, impo

rtantly, we've got our wide-band oxygen sensor. We've done videos about these things and how awesome they are. But, it's essential for tuning our car. And it's going to go into this bung, which is already on the cat: which is pretty handy. It's lookin' good. It's all there: it's all mounted up. So, that's like: that's all the fabrication for the exhaust side of things done, right? Yep. That's it. -Just need to make a few pipes for the intercooler. -Mm-hm. And we need to plumb the turbo. -Yeah. S

o, oil and water: in and out of it? -Yep. Front-mount pipes, Yep. And, do we wire before we put the obviously, we're gonna use: we have to put the manifold back on it. Yeah, it'll be the last thing we fit. But, it's a very simple manifold to fit. It's got no: it's just got O-Rings -to seal -Yeah. Yep. it's pretty easy, so. And, so: some of this wiring that's already existing: that you've already done: we just have to tap into that, right? -Yep. -And connect it all to the HalTech. It's all being

written down. And, we know exactly where to put everything. So. Cool! There's: there's like, at least, 4 or 5 more days, isn't there? -Like, realistically? Having a go? -Maybe. [laughs] -Yeah. -It's a pretty epic build. -I'm loving it, just quietly. -Mm. It's so much fun. I can't wait to start it: I want to hear it! [music] "Al has welded the aluminium elbow into the turbo housing." "And now, we can get started plumbing in our boost controller." So, very important is our boost control solenoid.

We're plumbing it in: so, we've got the source here, which is coming off the elbow, that Turbo Yoda's welded onto the turbo. And then this side: unlike going to the top of the turbo where you would normally see the internal waste-gate, because we've got that external 'gate, we have to run the vacuum line, all the way down, through some of this heat-proof sheeting, and down onto the external 'gate. These are the fittings we're gonna use to make our oil feed, uh, oil drain and water lines to the t

urbo. Uh, so these basically called AN fittings, which is: a whole heap of different brands and quality levels for them. But, -Does AN mean Army Navy? -I believe so. -Cause, I like that. -So, yeah. Yeah it's like a military type thing. So, You got to assemble these so: it is a 'Do-It-Yourself' thing. It's just a little bit tedious to put them together. Got, um, braid spiky braid, that you've got to deal with: you got to be able to cut them off without them doing that. So, it's a bit: there's a b

it of practice involved in the getting it getting it right without stabbing yourself and that sort of thing: that's uh, uh, they do the job. And, no leakage. So, uh, which ones are we using for what? These are our oil feed, so, that's dash 4. Uses a Teflon line. High-pressure. Um, this is our oil drain, so that's, uh, dash 8. Just uses a normal rubber with, um, braid around it. And, this is dash 6. Which is our water feed. In and out. That uses the rubber braid as well. "Because our turbo positi

oning is unique, we've had to make up custom lines." "If you don't have the equipment to do it yourself, it is possible to have these made up" "at a local hydraulic shop." "You just need to give them fitting types and lengths." "These kind of fittings are not cheap" "but the convenience of being able to do them them exactly how you want is very useful." "Being braided, they are also quite durable, which is important when up against the hot turbo." "We're making up our coolant in and out lines an

d our oil return from the same product." "The lines are then tightened down using an aluminum spanner, that won't damage to softer metal fittings." "The oil feed is coming from the bottom of the engine, where we're also picking up oil pressure for our sensor." "And with that done, another day of Gramps modification comes to an end." Now, there is absolutely nothing more satisfying, then seeing a turbocharger in place. Uh, I would disagree Marty. There is one thing more satisfying than seeing tha

t in place. What's that? Uh, I can't share it with you here, Martin. But, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Uh, [stuttering] A sticker on a bingo card would be good to see in place also. Let's just call it a sticker on a bingo card, Martin. -Now, there's some new fandangled machine: -Yes. called the Interballs. -[laughs] The Interballs? -Yes. -Did you invent that name? -And you can use it... I believe you might have been a politician who invented the Interballs. -You can use the Interball

s -Yes? -to: to learn things. -And connect things. And I do believe... -I've: I have heard about this. And I'm of the understanding that you can learn a lot of things about human: human beings -in various states of dis... -Of coitus (that's sex) -Coitus! -Of coitus! -Oh! -Yes! Disclothment! -[chuckles] Disclothment -Disclothment -Coitus. -That is a word. It's like a David Attenborough documentary, -Yes? -Featuring humans. -Exactly. -Now, Martin, on the Interballs, -Yes. -I understand if you go t

o MightyCarMods.com, Yes? -you can get some nice things for you vehicle. -Absolutely correct. So, I suggest you go and have a look at that. There's stickers and magazines. -Yes. -And hats. -And hats. Not a hat like this. -Anything else, Martin? -No. -Oh, I need to go to the toilet. Again!? Twice in 10 minutes mate: you should get that looked at. [Outro]
