CRASH N BERN
Приєднався 4 лип 2021
New to UA-cam, not new to automotive repair!
Hey 👋 I’m Bernie and have been working on cars since I was 14! Worked my way up in an indy automotive repair shop and have dedicated my life to rebuilding and improving all types of cars, boats, and motorcycles. I attended Universal Technical Institute and held ASE, MECP, and EVTCC certifications.
Buick Grand Nationals have been my dream car for awhile and I have the pleasure of rebuilding them, learning as I go from all of you.

That was a very good interview with Don Cruz. 😊
🫡🫡🫡
Defenetly going to look into going Holley. Thanks for the info I’m new to the turbo regal and just bought my first a few months ago and just now started building it. I had good experience with Holley terminators with my ls swaps so I will definitely convert this coming year.
Man I want to build my 5.7 now 🫡🎉
Do you have to change the valve covers to billet ones or can you just put the oil filler and breather on the stock 5.7 valve covers?
I don’t recommend the oil filler I used for stock VCs because they have less clearance than these. I’ve seen people use -12AN on stock covers to serve as an oil fill and breather
@ awesome thank you! And thanks for the awesome/helpful videos!
Thank you brother ❤
I’m more excited about a second hand pursuit than the R8 casually sitting in the driveway
Same, R8 is more jealous than the lactose intolerant at a DQ
Much respect for you and your business model. Well done buddy. I might be asking you for help about getting a srt in a 2012 1500 for prerunner 😂😊
Thanks, when you’re ready we can build it!
Huge fan! Loved Get Out and Nope! Didn’t know you were into mopars! Even bigger fan now
2013 srt jeep. I want to supercharge it. ?! What do you think?
@@toyeafunches do it! Tag me when you’re launching it
Damn legend for the lists
Send me videos once you’re boosted
Do u ship to the Middle East ?
@@LeopardKUL I will. Shoot me an email and I’ll get a shipping quote bernrepairs@gmail.com
The BEST video bro. Got my dad's heater hooked up tonight. It was capped off for a few years. When attaching the hoses the heater core was kind of loose inside the box so I'm prepping to possibly do what you did in this video. Also fixed the HVAC controls tonight! It was stuck on defrost. The vacuum switch halves had separated so I used a machine screw to repair it. All the vents work now!! That had been broken for all 20 years of him owning i think. Wish I could show him, it's bitter sweet.
@@MotorSwapDan Heat is a necessity for year round driving! That screw trick is legendary. I know he’s smiling down watching it come together
Just brought my dad's GN home last night from my mom's. One of the first things it needs are upper door panels and window adjustments. Watching this video closely 😊
@@MotorSwapDan one of my favorite mods. If you end up going with speakers, get the shallowest ones you can find
For the 2013 srt8 model that is a 6.4 do you recommend swapping the transmission or drive train?
@@TKADFLAWLESS keep your NAG1 transmission. Tell your tuner to tune the transmission at the same time as the engine. Their updates can make your transmission handle the power better.
@ what max hp do you recommend for year make model? Thanks for the tips great vids!
@@TKADFLAWLESS difficult question to answer. I’ll put it like this, the nag1 awd cars haven’t been pushed past the 600+ mark The stock 6.4s need e85, methanol, or another source to help keep the heat out especially because of those things too ringlands. Go with drop ins if you have big goals Tell your tuner to add torque management to trans tuning to protect your trans from grenading
🤯🤯🤯🤯💯 That's good work G.👊🏾
So satisfying to watch this. It would be funny to prank someone that left their truck doors unlocked. Just take out the seats and throw them in the bed. Then set up a camera and get ready to laugh.....then run.
Amazing video!!! Great job!! What’s your total cost? What happened when you try to close the hood?
Finally found a channel that fixes GNs. Please fix the bumper fillers next!
getting a 2013 challenger r/t tomorrow only 27k miles. i work at a dealership just now getting my apprenticeship, and i wish anyone of the senior mechanics explained this as concise as you do. this is my next project for sure, extremely helpful.
@@c0ntrolledchaos Thanks 🙏🏾 super low miles! did you get it?
@@CRASHBERN through Carvana, I traded in my old truck and only owe about 9k. Plan on putting in some improvements on intake soon but this is on the list!
Every one else says it’s too hard and not worth it. This dude says hold up, I’m uploading.
That sunset is amazing in the background, brother

15lbs of boost 😨
Let's Get It Bern! Can't wait to see what you do next
I need to hire you to take care of my 6.4 and add the supercharger
Where u located so u can do mine
Pretty amazing to be honest
It's turning into g body heaven over there. I sucked it up and bought the Caspers reproduction engine harness for my 87 while the engine was out. Best decision I've made yet. It's pricey, but they did a really good job on it in my opinion, including a couple small updates of problem areas like the relays.
There are quality products for sure and a perfect time to make the swap.
@@HSTvids357 Caspers knows their stuff, definitely my goto for wiring. And they are local to me.
Staying tuned to see what happens.
Ppl dont understand all u need is a 5.7 u do not need a 6 liter to b fast thats a fact
Did you switch to an lsd? If not, you'll never be able put the power down. My NA 5.7 with open diff will cut loose at almost 60mph when I put it to the floor
@@justinkelly6660 I kept it AWD. Hooks well
getting a 2014 soon was going to hellcat swap it but this sure seems cheaper and gives me a little bit more to do a 3rd gen front clip
I’m trying to build my 57 into a hellcat supercharge myself. Where do I get the supercharged kit from and how much?
@@bussdownking3940 check out my website for most of the parts, grab your hellcat blower on marketplace, and you should be set www.crashnbern.com
I know bro loves his life. What an amazing job brother. Love this ❤
@@javierperez-wi6el You already know 🙏🏾 I’m blessed bro
You did an excellent job playa!! You are very professional and super smart! Keep up the great work!
Thank you 🙏🏾 😁
Well said!
Where you located? I would like to pay you to super charge my scat pack.... how much would the total cost be?
Do you do this as a service?
Not at this time. Be careful who you end up using to install this kit! I’m available for virtual tech support if needed
I have an 06 300c 5.7 and I think I just figured out what my last upgrade will be🤭
Awesome series my dude. I am thinking of doing this on my 2020 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody. Do you think this install will essentially be the same? Also....what's you total dollars in for this on parts?
Thanks! My costs before E85 was $4700. Essentially the same cost for your model. Run lower boost on your engine. Breakdown of the costs are in this video: The REAL Cost to Supercharge Your Hemi! ua-cam.com/video/__EcXQIq2DI/v-deo.html
Very thorough n appreciated, tyvm, liked n subscribed
Love the video, no one else shows the lower trim hemis any love so this is super cool and unique. I wonder how well that epoxy weld will hold though...
@@dme8560 haha thank you 🙏🏾 I’m curious too. 1500 miles and 8 months strong so far
What did you guys think of the roadster shop gn
Nice job man. This the second ute ive ever seen with a charger taillight, all the other ones just looks like a actual truck from the back. Love your decision & Nice car or should i say truck😂💪🏾
I have a question. Is the one with an actual charger taillight custom or a kit? All the other ones i believe it’s a kit bc they all look the same or is this custom bodywork?
2 of my favorite Turbo Buick guys. Dangerous Tandem right here. I appreciate the content & footage. Great discussion & perspectives from 2 experts. Keep up the great work guys 👍
Good morning my brother my name is Smitty I am in Joshua tree ca.i I have a Chrysler 300 2014 6.4 SRT8 , would love to super charge my car but know nothing about mechanics are you located in Cali, where are you located, and what would you charge?
@@williesmith2956 Hey Smitty, I’m on the other side of the country unfortunately. I don’t work on customer cars but I’ve heard others charge $2000 plus the cost of parts
@CRASHBERN thank you for your response but half the people I talk to don't come near the experience you have I just don't want anyone working on my car thank you so much for your time I will keep up with your channel.
I can’t wrench anymore because of arthritis. I can drive fast and shift, though. In my experience you have to be patient, get luck and know a guy. I shopped around for month until I found a Magnuson kit for $5600. The guy: retired speed shop mechanic working out of home. He has a big, three car shop behind his house. $75 an hour. Told him to take his time. Two weeks, installed with his personal tweaks, tuned. $800. Plain old RT Classic Super Track pack 6m, 5.7. No badges needed here. All parts CARB approved. Zoom.
@@Kuhladestkyicky Thanks for sharing. Wise words and a great deal on the kit!
