I have a question about the return line on your bypass fuel system. Did you notice any pressure creep upward with the smaller factory return line? I've done a couple carb conversions on TBI pickup trucks & ran larger diameter return lines on both. There's less room to put things like that on a C4 Corvette chassis. Did it work well for you?
How’s the drone on highwayspeed?
How’s the drone? Is it barralble?
Did you finish the engine build, or did you encounter too many difficulties?
@@michaelmeyer1914 Its still in the works. The motor is around 80% funded. Its sitting right now with the bottom end installed. I have the heads, cam, and lifters but need pushrods and other misc parts to wrap it up.
@@IllegalC4 I know how that goes. Best of luck to you! I'll be eagerly awaiting the installation of the new, more powerful engine. I really dig the direction you're taking your Corvette.
Custom tune or off the shelf tune ?
@@apondnd Phearable stage 3 is an off the shelf tune. Runs great.
@@IllegalC4 how did u hit 7k ? N nice car man you needa post more content build update
Dang, I almost thought you had figured it out!!! Using the Edelbrock carb. you wont need a fuel regulator. The fuel that flows into the carb can be discharged out the other side of the carb. Since the floats use the same bowl. Unplug the other side and let fuel flow threw the carb and back into the tank. There is more than enough fuel to keep the floats full. Keep it simple. I figured this out 8 yrs ago and a GM 366 that has no place for a mechanical pump on a vehicle with a standard in tank fuel pump.
@@jotegg1276 I’m not an expert man. This is my first classic car and first time dealing with a carburetor since my dirtbike when I was 12 years old 😂. Generally speaking, a lot of people are going to need or should run a fuel pressure regulator, regardless.
Good info. Makes build slightly cheaper and easier.
@@IllegalC4 Mechanical fuel pump with deliver 5-9psi, standard in tank fuel pump in a GM vehicle with a TBI fuel system puts out a max of 14psi. Save yourself a headache and a couple hundred dollars. Fuel regulator just restricts the fuel flow, this will happen naturally, the fuel feed is only one size bigger than the return line. This way you dont have to buy a component that needs to be wired in, mounted and adapt to your existing fuel lines. Slip 3/8 fuel line over the ends of your factory fuel lines with a couple hose clamps. There is not enough fuel pressure to blow the lines off. Plus you keep fuel flowing and never strain the electric pump.In the event you want to change back to TBI, nothing was cut or modified.
This is an awesome video. I just got a 85 Vett and I had always planned on going carb and eventually with a stroker kit to a 408 and your video makes the first few steps really simple.
@@210shotz yeah, it’s really not that hard. It’s taking your time doing everything correctly. All you’re doing is removing the old junk, putting the intake and carburetor on adding the fuel pressure regulator to the correct fuel line, hook the throttle cable up.
@@IllegalC4 Did you continue to use the o2 sensors with the new headers?
Got the microphone sitting next to the exhaust?
nope. Filmed with one hand on Iphone 13 pro. windows down
What’s more reliable a carb or a tpi ?
@@x-destroyergaming1532 in 2024, a carb setup. Youd have to fully rebuild the TPI to be reliable and the time/cost is not worth it. Especially considering its lack luster power.
Heads have to be redone to work with carb intake too? Thats what im being told
I just finished converting my 84 to carbureted and now my torque converter doesn't work. Did this happen to anyone else?
@@jacobamberdaniels1603 im not sure theres a correlation between fuel injection and your tq converter not working.
I have 71 Elcamino. The previous owner installed engine out of a 88 iroc (I think ). Going back to carburetor. There is plate on the block where the fuel pump goes. Can I install a mechanical fuel pump?
@@samh4333 I personally don’t know much about mechanical fuel pumps so for that you’re gonna have to turn to Facebook or Google
Thanks for the response. You had to have heads redone or new ones? I’m being told that old heads will not work with a carburetor and manifold.
Hey, im sure this has been answered already but how did you hook up your wiring? Ive got an 86 I'm restoring and gonna be doing a carb swap as well but at the moment its TPI with a 4 speed auto but Im putting a carb and a 5 speed manual in it. All the mechanical stuff im familiar with but when it comes to the electrical system im a little confused lol.
@@lonelylego6172 There’s almost no wiring to deal with. Once you unplug the TPI harness, theres essentially nothing you need from it. You’ll re use the distributor wires but that’s about it. Obviously, you wont touch the oil pressure sensor/switch and temperature sensor/sender.
@@IllegalC4 Ok, cool. Thanks, did you use your stock harness or replace it? The previous owner of my vette thought the best way to “fix” the problem was to start cutting the harness so I have to replace it anyways, didn’t know if it was better to go back stock or any recommendations for upgraded harnesses.
Do you get a check engine light or does ECM still work as it should after deleting things ? Sorry for the beginner question
Did you have to re-wire your fuel pump to keep it running after it is started?
@@jacobamberdaniels1603 nope. When you turn the key it always has power.
@@IllegalC4 thank you.
Sounds like one of those Checkmate race boats 🤤🤤🤤
Question for you do all the factory gauges still work?
Good work friend, a question: how do you get the rpm meter to work on the digital display with the distributor with vacuum advance? How do you connect the old harness to the new one? Can you tell me the colors of the cables?
I used a GM HEI distributor which was direct plug and play. I don't have the colors of the wires on hand so you may have to reference google.
Dumb
How much power you lose?
Daaaamn 💀
I must now change my pants after hearing this
Man you c4 sounds awesome which MBRP mufflers are they. I’m wanting to going to 3inch exhaust after I finish fixing up the car
I dont think they sell the mufflers on their own so you have to buy the catback. On the bright side, the catback is like $650 and the quality is great. Its the MBRP Street Catback for a 2018+ mustang. Ill have more sound vids once its back running but that is months away. Im worried it may be too quiet as I only drove it home from the exhaust shop before it died. However it made my microphone Cutout on video and even on my stock mustang it was very audible
So the 2018 mustang catback will fit the c4
How you do tht
What happens to the gauges when you go with a carburetor do they still act as normal?
Everything works except the Fuel Economy related gauges. Also the fuel gauge will misread severely as I ran out of gas 3 times straight.
You’re the first 10 speed I see hit 7,000rpm. Nice
That is stupid! 400+ hp with TPI is so easy, and you are losing all the mid-range torque as well!
Not at all true. Its also getting harder and harder to find TPI parts as it gets older. Look man, you cant deny its one of GMs first EFI setups and its very obsolete. Its a cool and unique setup but at the end of the day, it has no performance to it.
Ty, son.
Bro does this work on vortec motors please let me know I can’t find a lot of information on it
Its similar but not the same. They sell vortech intakes that you can slap a carb onto.
Im in a weird position where i see fancy cars and i really like them but then i remember all the issues with cars. Environmental issues dangerous to other people expensive. Least efficient form of transportation, pollutes the air causes traffic etc etc. it kinda kills my desire to even get interested in cars because i don’t want to support something that i know makes other peoples lives worse and even my own for living in car dependent america. Its very conflicting given i like cars but i value my morals to much to support big companies by buying some new car
Which coolant hose did you install?
This guy's point about finances hit me hard. I have an 89 corvette and I was putting every dime into that car. Most of those Dimes I didnt even have, I probably put 12k into parts and work for that car all on credit. Then a really hard time in life struck, I was forced to move out and now had to pay rent and in California rent is atrocious. My hours at work got cut which hit me even harder. I was miraculously bailed from my situation through the help of some upper family members and I'm thankful everyday for it. But not everyone can be granted assistance from their families, listen to illegal c4 dont waste all of your money on your car.
didnt even give it a second to idle out, bro rev bombed it the second it started😂i would be pissed if that was my whip
What is your opinion on adding a Holley sniper system? 85 base model, pretty much bone stock
Did you just go 60mph in 1st gear lol
No. 1st only goes to about 50mph. The right side is also the rpm, not mph
@IllegalC4 so you're telling me I was close??? Lol
Well the old chevy Cavaliers could go 50 in first so it's not exactly crazy that a vette could
Love the AVS2 on my 64.5 Mustang. 306 with aggressive cam, roller rockers on 289 heads worked following David Vazard plans. The AVS2 650 has will let me go to 6400 and nevers falls on its face. Great for a small cubic inch aggressive street motor. I'm sure the larger CFM AVS2's would perform just as mine has.
the only problem they always face on a C4 carb swap is the hood there simply isnt enough clearance for the aircleaner most guys run the buick snorkle to remote filter but theres barely any room
Sounds good but take off that corny ahh bootlicker flag.
popup text, talkin about shit they cant afford, and more. just..why?
What dp bro
This both muffler and res bro and do you need to buy anything before doing it
Thanks bro my iroc keeps shutting off while revving but it can idle beautifully for hours but it acts up so carb it is
Wise words, Im a 20Yr old autistic dude that dosen't have my drivers license yet in New Zealand due to lack of motivation. When I was a little kid back in early 2010's I loved modded cars and wanted to do the same thing in the future, nowadays the car scene will sometimes have those people that will cause drama by making fun of/calling people out just because that person's car is bad compared to theirs, although I do tell myself that "regardless of how fast or slow the car and how nice the car looks I can still have some fun with it while learning how to do this and that." but regardless of telling myself that I still fear that I might get bullied by someone if I wanted to visit a local car meet in the future.
Even if youre in a spot to make cars your identity don't do it. I have a house paid off and 2 Miatas paid off at 24 so it'd be easy to go all in for cars but find something bigger than yourself and chase that. My identity is in Jesus Christ and what He's done for is on the cross, no one can take the Lord from you! God bless and good luck out there guys.
VERY WELL SAID. THERE IS ONE POINT YOU DIDNT BRING UP. DRIVING IS NOT A RIGHT, ITS A PRIVELEDGE. RESPECT IT. IT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY JUST AS FAST AS YOU GOT IT. I AM A C4 OWNER AS WELL. 1988 RED CONVERTIBLE. ITS NOT HOW FAST YOU CAN GO. SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY LIFE. TAKE CARE, STAY SAFE. RESPECT EACH OTHER OUT THERE.
Delete the small res o the big one ?
This was the rear mufflers and big reso. Left the small one on
You speak the truth on a lot of stuff. I’m turning 31 this week and it’s so much more dangerous now I spend more and more time on the sim now
im 24 and am the biggest car guy ul meet but ive been saying this for a long time car guys are the brokest guys ul ever meet but swear they are the sh*t bc they have a nice car meanwhile it was co-signed by their parents and they are drowning in debt there’s more to life stack ur bread get rich use ur 20s to propel urself to greatness in ur 30s that’s when life truly starts for us men we got this guys stay safe out there and don’t be another broke car guy
Yup
Peer pressure is a big thing to point out too. I was always pressured into boosting my 8th gen Si, and I’m glad I didn’t. It’s been my daily the past 8 years, no problem. Those same people pressuring me into do it switch out cars constantly or modify it beyond their budget and then complain about how expensive it is, trying to follow what everyone else is doing or impress strangers. Modify within your budget and time
Sorry, my French car will always be what my entire identity revolves around
Good luck.
@@IllegalC4whatever you do, don't go down the French car rabbit hole, you will never be the same
