I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and I wish ya'll a Happy New Year!
Keep up the fantastic content! What a great channel!!
Hope you did too mate
Are you tuned?
Love your content man, you show normal regular old people can actually do almost anything they want if they have the time and effort for it. I'm no Chevy fan and this shit isn't about Chevy, it's about a guy and wanting to hook up his car his self, love it. Love the end bit
Thank you! You nailed it. Could have said it better myself.
Doing it yourself is the best feeling. Merry Chrismas and all of the best for next year.
I agree! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Definitely looking forward to this coming year.
Hope to see more content fabricating your own parts. Sets realistic expectations for people also thinking about doing something the same, their first time.
Video footage at the end had me laughing, reminded me of my daughter.
Definitely will be more! Last major project is upgrading the fuel system. I'm sure at some point I'll have to do a roll bar or cage. So that'll be a fun subject to cover.
LOL, they crack me up. I have 3. Scarlett is the youngest. They definitely do questionable things I find out about later, but they're just being kids. I told them I can't wait until they get nice things so "I can play with them' ;) Kidding. I'm sure later in life they'll be like, "we're we this way"? In which I video of.
@@cmattdabrat I don't know how you find the time to do what you do with 3, its hard enough for me to get an oil change done with 2.
@@toekneefurareoh Definitely isn't easy. A lot of this is filmed in 20-30 minute increments when I find some spare time before, during, or after work. I'm lucky if I get every other weekend to actually get some work done.
I would definitely invest in a charge pipe leak checker. Who knows how many pin holes there could be leaking out boost with all the welding and fab work. One thing I noticed looking in my 1.4 engine bay is there seems to be way less stuff between the motor and battery box. Also there is a ton of room from the head down to the steering rack if u made a long runner intake that swooped down towards the steering rack there is a ton of room back there for big volume intake and the throttle body can be much easier to locate near the brake fluid reservoir. With electric power steering our cars have nothing behind the motor but a big empty space
I have one here at the shop.
I hope you kept at it man. Welding gets much easier when you figure out your settings and technique. I have no idea what amperage you were at but on intercooler tubing, I run 85 amps with 250 frequency and 25-30% cleaning action (ac balance). Good luck with your future projects.
Thanks for the tips! It's fun to come up with projects that involve welding.
Cant wait to see this on a dyno!
Me too!
This guy is tempting me to buy Chevrolet Cruze
Merry Christmas Matt
Seconded, Merry belated Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
you made this look easy good job
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I tig welded a compound system with a everlast ex250 powertig on my ram cummins using ebay aluminum piping. and all vbands flanges, 110 psi at full tilt . I spent 8 hours or so compared to the 5,000$ companys want for my specific setup I say I did great . I did one with silicone boots that would explode 5ply boots constantly prior to.
Nice! That thing is making some serious boost. Nothing like doing it yourself and saving some cash.
I’ve been watching for awhile man and I’m glad to see it progress, but the next time you weld any aluminum try swapping your tungsten and adjusting your clean/penetration blend.
Thanks! The machine I'm using only has two settings. One is a low amp setting and the other a higher amp. It's an older Miller and does... eh okay. I've tried different mixes of tungsten and sizes. What I'm currently using seems to be about as good as this machine is going to get it. I'm going to invest in an AC machine in the future that will give me some more flexibility when it comes to aluminum.
Great video as always! Been watching you since the beginning of the project and I cannot wait to see the end result when it's done. Keep up the good work!! 👍🏽
Thanks! That's awesome. We're inching towards the finish line. Just the little stuff now...
Amazing video BROTHER!! You did a great job my man, can’t wait for more to come!!!
Thank you! More to come soon!
Merry Christmas everyone. Excited for a new episode as usual! Great job brother.
Merry Christmas! Thank you! Hoping to get this thing wrapped up during this week off.
I’m so excited to see this thing make some power!!
Yes! I'm happy to finally have some time off to finish it up and start putting some power down.
Nice one Matt , all the best for 2022 and your family. From your Aussie mates 😀
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and happy new year! Looking forward to the first drive with boost!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yes!!! Me too.
Nice
Thanks
Hi Matthew getting some progress and closing to finish I told you on past episode big job is easy little job especially welding is scary 😂😂😂😂 keep up good job and happy new year 🎉
Hi Arash! Hahaha, absolutely! Happy New Year! Looking forward to doing some racing this coming year.
I know this is after the fact, but it helps to bevel the ends of the pipes to be welded together. You will then get a better bond and have a valley to fill in with weld and the welds will be more flat and even.
Right! Definitely a great tip. Did that with the exhaust / turbo manifold. With the machine I was using, the aluminum tends to work a little different. Since it's a non ferrous metal. Even with the machine at it's lowest setting it wanted to punch through too easy. I'm going to get a more modern machine for future builds that can handle more tasks.
Love the creative work
Thank you!
Not a welder either. not sure of the control panels on you welder but try turning down you feed a bit and the amps on the lighter pipes I think you will have less build up and not blow through as easy.
Kids are great hope the family is well.
Thanks! It's a tig so its' just a matter of feeding the pipe what it needs to close it up.
19:44 homeboy beating the living hell out of that camera 🤦🏾♂️💀
LOL! I couldn't help but to laugh. Not sure what the thought process was there though.
those welds arent bad. i wish i knew how to tig weld.. i only own a mig
Thanks! Tig welding isn't too difficult. Just takes a little adjustment if you're used to mig.
The last minute was amazing. She should be your full time camera woman
LOL! I thought it was too funny not to share. I might need to get back up camera's.
Sounds expensive 😂
@@jbg6961 😂
I installed the zzp sonic intercooler and the ddm works charge pipe kit a couple weeks ago...totally sucked big time, but car performs much better especially with the cat back setup from zzp lol. I can't imagine how much worse it was for you haha 😂
lol, oh how it looks so easy online :) But you got it done!
@@cmattdabrat haha heck no man.. it took me 7some hrs to do all that crap.. when I did my Catback it took me a min too lol.
Everything always looks easy from watching someone else bust kneckles and cuss some words 😂
Where did you buy the thicker guage piping for the cold side fab.?
I got them from eBay by a seller called USA in Stock. ebay.us/ejbhUs
Quite the adventure! Good work man. I bet next car you completely rebuild will be twice as nice. XD
P.S. I think the kid is a future artiste. Might need a lesson in mechanical sympathy though. ;)
Thanks! This is the 2nd major project that's required a lot of welding. Second to the V8 VW Bug. I think as long as I can keep working on bettering my welding skills, they'll definitely improve.
@@802Garage LOL! She asked if she could film. I was like, sure... I just now found the video and though... WTF Hahaha, kids... The kiddos are pretty good artists. Hopefully they pursue whatever makes them happy and don't get caught in the "you have to do this" trap.
@@cmattdabrat Yesss! Glad you have that perspective for the kiddos. :D Your welding will def keep getting better. I have consumed way too many hours of TIG welding videos without ever touching one. Hopefully will get one very soon!
@@802Garage It's taken a long time to realize that. I think anyone should do what makes them happy, and the money will follow.
Absolutely! If nothing else, I definitely can melt things together, pretty or not. lol. I did the same thing before getting the Jeg's tig. Watched lots of videos. Between stick, mig, and tig. It's just all about joining two metals by making a melted pool. Tig just happens to require more appendages and come out a lot cleaner.
FIRST FASTER THAN THAT MXR TURBO SPINS BOOOIII!
lol
3:30... it looks better than mine... I ended up having to use stainless because my charge pipe is mild steel and my flange was stainless steel so I use 308L ...your welds still look better than mine I have even a small gap and it ends up blowing through... that's the biggest issue with me... fit up and blowing through or burning out metal
12:50..you can buy a piece of pipe called a JLU bend for like 50 bucks...(ebay./Amazon)....and cut off any thing you need...45's 90s...
I appreciate it, and thanks for the tip. Definitely takes repetition to make some nice looking welds. I can make them strong and hold, just need to keep putting in practice. My main issue is not having a proper work space, and my hands aren't the steadiest lol.
@@cmattdabrat no doubt practice and repetition are key.. the bend are a really nice quality inexpensive option....much easier..✌
Craig if you are welding mild carbon to stainless, you need to use 309, not 308. 308 does contain a higher carbon content, but 309 was designed for welding those two metals together.
@@tmonnmiles thank you...I do have some 309L also..I believe...👍
Great job!
Thanks!
Which welder and rod did you use ?
I believe it was 5154.
Which welder are you using? I'm thinking of doing some aluminum welding too
I borrow a friends old Miller tig. Makes me want to sell my current Jeg's tig, and get one of Jeg's AC rigs. I've been thoroughly impressed with the current one I have, so I think I'll just upgrade since they're pretty affordable.
aluminum looks pretty porous what are you gas settings?
Just some surface crap floating up, but they're solid. 15 cfm.
@@cmattdabrat yeah crappy metal always ruins my day 😭
@@cmattdabrat happy Christmas bro
Just a reminder to debit all those pieces. Protect your engine and your finger lol
lol, definitely holding onto everything. I'm sure they'll come in handy in the future. Need those fingers!
Not much left now!!
Yes! Just need to finish my fuel upgrades. Damper, regulator, injectors... take care of the small oil leak coming from the front of the engine and it's time to tune and have some fun.
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🛠️
Thank you!
atleast he owns his ugly welds lol
lol! They ugly, but will hold. Let's get a close up of my... urg, fantastic welds.
Priceless haha
@@danieldegg1 lol
If you need gas, I got gas. Just sayin'😁
Hopefully we're not talking about the gas that comes from a place that'll cinch some hair. 😂
👍🏻✔⭐💯👨🔧
Thanks!
