In today's video, we finally unbox the new engine for the 240SX and talk about why there's been such a delay in progress over the last few months. With everything I've been doing in the background, we're about to dive into a lot of seriously fun content! In the near future, I'll be introducing a lot more project content to the channel, in addition to my normal reviews. The 240SX will be picking up soon (engine swap), along with a few other things I have in the works! I'm really excited about these projects. They're a great way for me to interact with you all more and us all to have fun together!

This guy worked so hard and got one million subscribers but what's the use his views are going down day by day😐 ! This guy deserves the best 😊
Man, I've almost given up trying to figure it out. It's like UA-cam is limiting how many people get to see my videos. It doesn't make sense because the content is family friendly and advertiser friendly. I refuse to placate their algorithm, I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. Certain channels are being selectively promoted, that's why you see some consistently getting 1m+ views, regardless of how much they upload. Back in the day, subscribers were the biggest indication of how good your channel was doing. Now, it almost doesn't matter because youtube makes you jump through so many hoops to get notified, yet I've talked with tons of people who haven't gotten a video notification in months. My videos don't get suggested very often either. If they do, it's something I did years ago. All I can do is stick to my guns and push forward. The system is broken.
Thanks so much, that means a lot. Just gotta push forward, good things are on the horizon!
Saabkyle04 just stick to whatever you are doing u will get success ! 😊
Saabkyle04 btw I'm your big fan all the way from Saudi Arabia watching you from 4 years ! Love ur vedios 😘
Keep doing what you do! I love this channel#
Congrats Kyle!! So happy for you dude!! Huge fan of JDM!
Thanks so much for the support!
Damn it was only an unboxing but so EXCITING and FASCINATING to reveal that engine after months sitting in a pallet and box. I'm looking forward to that engine parts installment and a startup, good luck Kyle!
Thank you soooo much for watching!!
Swedish ’moneypit’sign👍🏻😅
Yeahhh buddy! I'll have to hang that somewhere haha.
I'm so glad that you revealed the RB25. Thank you. this video made my day.
Thank you so much for watching! It's going to be an exciting journey!
So excited to see the 240sx restomod continue! Great engine and new shop! Looking forward to the other projects too. Keep up the great content and thank you !
The classic jdm vehicles are the true icon to see in person I saw a classic Mini Cooper blue for the FIRST time
Very cool!!
I wish the best for you and your channel! I, for one, am glad you’re moving toward projects and taking a small step back on reviews. I don’t subscribe to you for those anyway. I love the quality of your videos and I hope you keep it up!
Thank you Logan, much appreciated!
Definitely looking forward to the upcoming 240 vids!
Me too! Lots of learning ahead, but I'm looking forward to the challenge! 😃
Kyle, I watch all of your videos because you always have top notch content. Additionally, I always make a point to support the content of genuinely good people, which you clearly are. I wish the best of luck to you and your wife on the building of your home.
See you in the next video!
Thank you so much my friend, that means a lot!!
Wow!
That engine is so cool and awesome! I'm so excited to see it installed on the 240SX.
Thanks a lot!
Anytime! (^~^)v
Finally a new video on the S13! I love to follow it. Such great content.
Loving the new direction of resto projects, much more interesting to watch, cannot wait 👍👍👍 looking forward to seeing the next vid 😜👍
Thanks so much for the support!
Welcome back dude!! Can’t wait for more future videos and how the 240 comes out 🙌🏻
This 240SX is so sweet, can't wait to see it finished. Might want the paint the spark plug cover the same color as the car, or maybe a nice silver or white to offset the red. May want to do red brake calipers as well to match the engine. Great video as usual!
Thanks so much for watching!!
I noticed you had a Swedish licence plate on your bench
It's not real, I ordered it online for a Saab I used to have haha.
I think your going in the right direction. If your having fun that energy projects itself into your videos.
Agreed, it's going to take some adjusting, but I'm very eager to get started!
Looking forward to the engine swap. Your channel was the first automotive channel I subscribed to. Sad to see your viewership fall. That said - I think you are making the right decision to move in a different direction. The new competition has a different style but they aren’t doing restomods. I used to have a 1996 240SX SE with a manual transmission and regret selling it five years ago as it was in perfect condition - just needed more power!
I second others comments that you should do videos of your house construction. Anyone that likes project channels would also find that interesting as well. Don’t make the same mistake you did by not doing content on the garage/shop construction.
Looking forward to the engine swap and the Jimmy project. Best of luck.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate all of that feedback! We'll figure out this UA-cam thing one way or another (maybe), but hopefully this at least leads to more engaging content. Still a lot left to do, only thing now is to push forward!
You’re the man Kyle. Keep doing what you do. The Nissan build is my favorite thing to watch.
I’ve always loved your videos and the way you make them I’ll always support you bro and don’t stress your self out
I'm trying man haha, the light is at the end of the tunnel 🙌 Thank you!
I don't know how you do it Kyle. You're getting ready to move, you're starting to build a house, you're restoring 4 cars and filming and editing videos. If I was in your position, I would already have had about 5 or 6 meltdowns. LOL. BTW, thanks for your condolences about my mom. I really do appreciate it.
The thing you said about you not being a vlogger, I think people would like to see a bit into yours and Christal's life. I'd like to see vlogs of your new house being built and the process, maybe Christal do some vlogs here and there. Who knows? Maybe it'll bring your views back up.
Yes! Finally an update! Way to handle all that stress, we are here to support you. All these projects will make some really great content now that you are focusing more on the builds than reviews. RB is looking good and i am excited for whats coming up!
Thanks a lot Samuel!!
Love that you’re tackling these projects yourself man. I’m patient and look forward to these videos when you’re able to upload. 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks so much my friend, I appreciate the vote of confidence!
Love the project ideas. Much more entertaining than car reviews, but I love the review style you do.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yay more project videos. Can't wait. Keep up the great work
Thanks buddy!
Been waiting for this for so long. I’m too invested to wait
stoked on this project! Following your steps for my restomod 1983 supra!
Thanks so much dude! Good luck with your build!!
Your RB25 looks sweet!! I can't wait to see the project finished, in all its glory!!
Also, before you say "RB25", I had no idea this engine exists! I looked it up and found out that there was a whole line up of turbocharged Nissan Inline-6s! RB20-DET, RB25-DET and RB26-DETT! Before that, I only knew the RB26-DETT and the NA Inline-6 of the Hakosuka Skyline!
That's awesome dude! It's true what they say, you learn something new every day! Thanks for watching!!
@@saabkyle04 Yeah, it's true and it's cool, you're being kept updated, in a way!! You're welcome!!
Kyle, why don't you paint the car 1st with the engine out ? Wouldn't it be easier to paint the engine bay etc 1st, rather then after ? What is your thought process here ?
Hes keeping the same color so i doubt hell paint the bay
I'll paint the bay when the engine is out, but won't paint the rest of the car till later. I can't put all that money into it at one time. The engine bay on the '89 and '90 models was black so I don't have to worry about color matching the rest of the car. It'll just look clean and factory.
@@saabkyle04 thanks ! Love the content !!!
Much appreciated my friend!
Hey Kyle love your videos hope you can still do car review here and there your the best at it!!!
Hope it all goes well. You'll love the more power in the small/light car.
Thank you! It's going to be a lot of fun!
I don't have much time theses days but if you need a hand let me know.
cant wait for the build!
Everything looks so nice Kyle!Do the swap quickly!Greetings from Greece!!!
Thanks buddy!!
Only inovative channel on YT! Thanks Kyle and keep them coming!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video as always, Kyle! I'm glad I get to watch your amazing content :)
I am honored to have you here! Thanks so much for the support!
@@saabkyle04 you inspired me to make a purchase of one of my cars. Back in the day I saw your video of a Buick Reatta. I loved the car so much that I bought one for myself :)
That's awesome! Very unique cars indeed. Did you get one with the CRT display?
Love the vids. Keep up the good work you do.
Mazworks did my vvl sr20 head modification years ago! Great quality work.
Love the space for the land/home.. Looks awesome
Thank you!
You should use the rb26 valve covers because they have better baffling and allow for the oil to flow easier. RBs in general tend to keep the oil up in the head which generates a lot of blow by. So those covers should help with that situation. Btw keep up the great work 👍🏻😎
I've never heard of that, thanks for sharing! I still have a lot to learn, it's going to be an interesting journey haha. I appreciate that dude!
Mannn, i’ve been waiting for this video!
Thank you for the support!!
Uau i started watching you when you're in college(1ºyear), now look at you.... proud to be subscribed to this channel
That's so awesome! Thank you soooo much for supporting me all this time!
I’ll make the drive lol, I wouldn’t mind seeing your legacy making and progress! Free parts, can’t beat that Kyle!
Awesome dude! I'm about 20 min outside of Winston Salem, NC. If you wanna make the drive, shoot me an email sometime! kyle@saabkyle04.com
Awesome video Kyle!
Thanks Andrew!!
Everything makes perfect sense. Kyle, I'm excited about the direction of your channel - I think you are making the right move. Also, congratulations on selling the house and moving on to the next stage.
Thanks Jacob, much appreciated!
You inspire me to open up my imagination even more and by that i spend more time outside much more than playing games
For sure! I sit on the computer a lot editing reviews. This gives me a chance to get out more and really "push" myself. Learning and applying that knowledge and (hopefully) fixing something is very rewarding.
I'm happy for you to have your own land in a quiet place.
Like Pewdiepie said: "Never let go, never give up until you reach your end goals!"
That's it! Thanks bud!
Good vid Kyle, nice to see where to old S13 is up too. BTW i love your wife's Chevelle, the patina is really nice.
Thanks Dan! We've been wanting to Jump on the Chevelle for a while now but it's going to take a good chunk of money to patch the body up. I just met someone that can likely help us fix it and work with me at the shop to get it back in order. I'll keep you updated on when to expect content!
@@saabkyle04 I look forward to it. You always see restored or resto-modded ones so it's nice to see a four door still on it's original engine & trans.
Hardwork always pays off man
Can't wait to see this getting swapped in!
The 240 looks great. I love the wheels. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks so much man!!
You got this !!!
You deserve more views. Your videos are the best !
I hope something changes one day, UA-cam's system is broken, I've been trying to figure it out for so long now. Thank you!
Keep up with the good content!!
After the 240sx Restore a Saab 9-3 viggen
Yeah!
Finding parts would be the hardest thing haha
Kyle they are ridiculously easy to find parts for!
that is a really cool looking inline straight 6.
have to say it again, the wheels on that thing are perfect!!!
Dude, I love them! It was so stressful deciding on the wheels for it haha. Wheels are too expensive to make a mistake. I'm looking so forward to getting the bodywork and oem type x kit done. The wheels should fit even better!
Iv'e tried but I just can't get excited over a 240 or an old Jimmy. Love Kyle, been here since the early days and still enjoy the reviews!
Sorry to hear that, I'm going full steam ahead with all of them. Not everyone likes the same thing, but I do hope you come to enjoy the series at some point. I appreciate your support!
This is awesome!
Thank you!!
Great content Kyle
Thanks Mike!
Enjoy it its what we like homie!!
Love your progress. Do a Z31 next! 👍🏽😁
Hallelujah! Finally!
Woohoo!!
This reminds me of My Summer Car. Having a garage with literally every part to one car. You can rebuild a whole nother car with it. 😂
No joke hahaha, that's the truth!
I suggest you use those RB26 covers. They have much better baffling than the RB25 covers. You do need to modify the front cover a bit though.
Yeah, that's the only thing that kept me from doing it at the time, I didn't want to cut a hole in it. I was told that if I went for aftermarket cams, I wouldn't have to cut the hole. I don't care about making this the fastest/most powerful 240, but a head build, using the covers as a finisher would be really cool. Thanks a lot for the insight!
Good update :)
So excited
Thanks Isaac!
Heh I randomly watched Chrisfixs lug conversion video from over anyear ago just before this went out.. Hard to imagine it's been so long already
Dude, I know! Chris and I have been wanting to do another collaboration soon, hopefully before it gets too cold out haha.
Love it Kyle, love it
Thanks a lot!
I love your vids
I follow this channel because this is the only kind of build I would like to see with this s13 everybody is drifting them and thrashing them
Thanks a lot dude! It'll be a special car for sure.
In for 240, Chevelle, and house build stuff !!!
Thank you!!
I am a bit envious of your 240 project
As Korean who cannot have garage, it is just a heavrn you have all.
Thank you so much!
Finally the 240 appears
Yessir!!
You are one humble youtuber
Totally understandable! It's good you waited or it would've just been extremely crazy!
No doubt! Thanks bud!
That door chime is hot
It's so much fun haha
Is your new house going to have a swimming pool. Make sure for your new house you get a clopay garage door wood grain. And a liftmaster 8550w_267. With battery backup and safety sensors.
Good suggestions! We're still in the early stages of planning, but that'd be nice one day, we have the space for it at least.
@@saabkyle04 have you ever heard of the Beatles elvis Presley and Michael Jackson and Elton John. And Bruce Springsteen and toto and journey. Have you ever heard of those music bands.
@@saabkyle04 dont buy a genie garage door opener they are a piece of junk. Like that one GMC Jimmy. But a liftmaster if you can. nobody likes genie garage door openers. I mean by a liftmaster 8550w instead or a liftmaster jackshaft. Do not buy a genie garage door opener they are a piece of junk. STAY AWAY FROM GENIE.
@@saabkyle04 can you make a video of the building company when they start to build your house please.
Love it man !! However trash the farm filter. Wix it from oriellys. Even for a heat cycle oil change as recommended the builder !
Good job with the video.
Yes!!!
Super me gustó el motor cómo quedó
First time we've seen the 240s plate
I actually just got that plate! It was my wife's idea. Something about it just seems so fitting. Reminds me of The Fast and The Furious haha..
I own a ka Zenki. Factory auto converted 5 spd. Body and interior completely stock.
for the engine building you want to do yourself.Do the chevelles engine. its a simple pushrod V8 with tons of info on how to do it. and on the chevelle fix the rust hole but leave the patina and seal it with clear coat
That's what I'd like to do. It seems pretty easy to "age" metal to match the rest. Thanks dude!
Loving the rb25 man id kill to have one i can only dream the 26 😂
Thanks so much Ben!!
Great to see the 240sx back in videos Kyle, its been quite a while! I notice that you have a whole interior set, in black, from a Jimmy / S10, is that what you plan to swap into the Pickup, or are you planning to change the interior of your current Jimmy?
You'll find out in tomorrow's videos :) Thanks dude!
Videos plural? Fantastic!
Whoops haha, just one video. I'll be uploading 4 more videos, one every other day, to see if it sparks the algorithm. We'll see what happens!
Hey man, do you have any rb25 stock parts left? I'm looking for a stock flywheel and iacv for a rb25 neo
When did he get rid of the viper?
It's been away since I've been on here, but what happened to your Viper???
Nice!! Great future!!…. :-)
Thanks Robert!
Looks good but needs a wix, k&n or royal purple oil filter instead of the fram that is on it
Best youtuber ever !!!
Wohooo!
🤘😃🤘
Hey man, where’s the Dodge Viper? I haven’t seen it in a while. I’d love to see videos on that thing too!
Saab 💪 Saab 💪 Saab
Id set on side up for painting
If I didn’t know Kyle (not personally) I’d be very confused if I saw him pull up in a clean 240
Hahaha yeah man 😆
As i always say, quality over quantity. Make your videos and do you projects at your own pace. And make the best videos you can. Dont listen to the self entitled hounding you for content. Love what youre doin kyle, keep it up!😁
Thanks so much! That's exactly how I want to approach these videos. Personally, I really don't like "vlog" content, but it does have a place and makes things feel more personable. Just need to get more practice at it haha.
You should race That Dude in Blue.
I'd love to collab with him sometime in the near future!
Of course most of us viewers would like more regular updates on the 240, but with everything you have going on, it's actually grat by you that we get anything at all. Plus, doing the work slowly, but carefully far beats rushing the build. This 240 mod is just so tastefully done, imo. It's gonna be a fantastic car when it's done! Also, I absolutely don't mind you doing less reviews and more project cars, enjoying them massively.
A couple of questions from the top of my head: What's the weight difference between the KA24 and the RB25? Body kit and spoiler coming when? How is your time divided (roughly) between your four(!) project cars right now (240, Chevelle, Jimmy, Crew Cab)?
Anyway, I have been susbribed to your channel for close to 8 years now (I remember for example you uploading your 1000th video - the Lotec C1000) and it's been a joy to watch it growing. Just keep doing what you enjoy and I am sure your audience will enjoy watching it! There is a lot more where that came from...
Thanks so much for providing this feedback, it means a lot. As far as your questions, I'm not sure of the weight difference, but the RB definitely weighs more than the KA. I've been thinking of weight saving measures for the front, like a carbon fiber hood, but since it's not going to be a race/drift car, I'm not too concerned about it at this moment. For now, most of my time needs to go toward the 240SX and Jimmy. I'll have a crew cab video going up tomorrow and some more content on it before the end of the year. It's definitely a long termer. As far as the Chevelle, we're trying to find brands to partner with for it that will offset the cost of the rust repair. I want to make a lot of content, but it's hard when the videos just aren't pulling many views. Really have to be careful on what I spend money on for the time being. That being said, my gut tells me we won't dive into the chevelle until early 2019. I will have some content on it before the end of the year though. Having your support for all of these years means more than you can imagine. Thanks again for everything!!
Thanks for taking the time to answer! With your varied and quality content, I'll stick around for quite some time.
Man, enjoy life Kyle. Come on down to Fort Mill, have a fun day with non-car guys but love your content like me. Tell Chris Rick Tyree and I said Hi :)
Thanks bro, you're right about that!! Sounds like a good time!
