Just a pinned comment to say Thanks for watching, there's one more video in the works to finish off this mad car (hello driving and skids) and then we've got something special for you.. Have an awesome week!
Hey Marty and Moog, anyway you could do a random fun video where you plum in the A/C output and redirect it to the air intake? See if its any benefit or if its parasitic and doesn't make any more power? I'd think it'll be an interesting video concept.
@@chrisnorman1183 I like your way of thinking, but I'm pretty sure the power to run the compressor would outweigh any gains. Although, if the A/C was plumbed to the intake *and* inside the car, perhaps that'd be a way to run your A/C with less power loss... Only one way to find out...
I love how Scotty has become part of the crew over the years. He just seems like an old friend they visit every 4-5 videos to share his colorful personality and wealth of knowledge.
I just wanted to take an opportunity to wholeheartedly thank Marty, Moogs, and everyone who has ever contributed to this channel. As a 40 year old bloke who loves cars but has never had the confidence or financial means to do what I truly want, this channel means a lot to me and many others. The feeling I get when seeing a new video has been posted, could only relate to the feeling I got as a fat kid on a family road trip. You would be driving up the freeway and see the golden arches glowing in the distance, you know the one. That feeling you got when you saw Dad flick on the blinker! Basically, I live vicariously through the videos you make. I don't care what brand of car it is this week! I care about seeing people do something they clearly love, I admire the effort you put into your content. From the puns, jokes, camera work, editing, music, and of course the car content. It all comes together to create something special every single time. This has honestly been the best 13 years, 5 months, and 10 days I have ever been subscribed to anything!(Longer than any relationship to 😂). Can't thank you guys enough, keep up the awesome work!
I also have to add. As a car enthusiast, who also is battling serious mental health issues at the moment.... I could put on these videos, take in the info, jokes and moogs music, and be in absolute bliss. The videos are just so amazingly done....
Did not expect to see a comment from HPA currently in the middle of your practical tuning course's. Learning so much from you guys thanks for everything you do
It has been so rad to watch you guys grow and evolve over the years (started watching in 2013 or so.) The production value of your content has become on-par with anything on TV, and you’ve managed to stay true to your roots while adding new things and keeping it interesting to all types of enthusiasts. Sorry for the cheesy post, just wanted to say thanks for it all!
I just want to say how much I appreciated the fact that they manually cranked the engine to make sure that the valve springs were properly moving-holy satisfaction😆
I’m getting my E30 done with a cammed LS3 at the moment, you can even see it in the background at 17:22. It’s over at Hassarati at the moment getting all the rust taken out and getting made very brown. Very keen to finally get it back.
Don't just do the cam. LS motors are great but they kinda don't breath that great. Get new high flow heads and a good intake, with a nice set of high flow headers and you will be happy. Anything else is a half cooked build.
Yea but he's like that artist that shredded his painting at auction. He's just dangling it in front of us. He's such a damn artist it's annoying. Lol. Just sell out and let me buy your shit! 🤣
I've never seen moving the intake make such a huge difference before. Very cool example of how some popular car mods that don't do much, if anything, for a majority of cars (cool air intakes) can be incredibly effective in certain setups.
There’s a lot of “cold air intakes” don’t actually draw in cold air efficiently, instead bringing hot air from under the hood. Sometimes it’s better to just modify the factory box and use a smooth tube between it and the throttle body.
This is the highest quality content of all the youtubers that I follow. One of the many that started with very few followers turning into a multi million subscriber channel. There's no click bait no vlogging BS and you can tell that they always put work into their videos, Cheers MCM
That's an insane power difference just by lifting the intake out of the engine bay! It's one of those situations where it's way more than adequate enough even when it's pulling in that hot air, but just knowing what it's really capable of makes you want to chase after it. I'm excited to see the final episode
I get so excited when I see shots like the one at 3:59. It’s funny how a few frames can show you guys are still having fun and trying new things after all these years.
I used to want a v8, but... they are so heavy and you can get the performance you'd want for the street easily with 4 or 6 cylinders these days so... 🤷♀️ I do really like some of them though. But I think I'd sooner have an electric motor.
I can't get enough of this project! I own an LS1-swapped E30 coupe, and I'm kind of envious yours is road registered. Mine is stripped out race-only because it was just easier, and suited my purpose. But having one for the road is mad!
Can we take a moment to appreciate Scotty nailing 3 perfect consecutive double-clutch downshifts while fiddling with a laptop like it's nothing at all?
@@-tr0n It's easy with practice but properly double clutching especially smoothly and quick takes a lot of said practice. It seems like you don't actually know what it is so let me explain. It's not just pumping the clutch twice like a lot of people seem to think. You push the clutch in, put the car in neutral, release the clutch again before pushing it back in and selecting the gear.
@@janemba42 Yeah, it's one extra leg movement. Had to do it on the old '91 vw with blown synchros lol, also helps smooth out the shifts on an 18 speed if you're having trouble floating. Not really necessary on anything else! If you watch the video, he only declutches once per downshift unless I missed something. Are we just assuming that because he rev matched that he is weirdly double clutching for no reason?
( A fascinating episode regarding successful Dyno runs and the incremental power increases that often quite small adjustments appear to make). - It was really interesting to see how much extra power is available when the air intake is unrestricted. Great episode boys, - thank you so much 😊👍🇬🇧
People say LS swaps are played out. I want one more than anything. I'm getting my garage built and then I'm buying something to drop an LS in to, shit's happenin'.
This album Moog made is incredible, You can tell composer wise Moog is a drummer, That tunnel run song just needed one little clash in with the Synth and that China sounding smack mixed with a slap really fits the vibe. Would truly love to watch him rip up a set and get into his zone.
Matt the entire time I watched this I couldn't help be think about how much extra work they did lol. They they didn't even upgrade the failure point of rocker trunions... SMH
@@ryubiggie yet to personally see one of those trunion failures I’ve heard so much about, I’ve had to replace a bunch of 500lb valve springs from 12 years of daily driving with 7200rpm and 950rwhp without a single trunion failure, I think their ls3 will be fine 💪🏻
I can’t wait to the mcm LS swap powered cammed manual rwd little 4 door car that’s been tuned by Scotty versus the bcw LS swap powered cammed manual rwd little 4 door car that’s been tuned by Scotty
Donut media got some catching up to do lol, And marty's face when he heard "cut a hole in the" priceless, that being said that motor is a bloody beaut so i understand 👍
Maaaaaaaaaaan this sounds like a BEAST, freakin' love it!! I can't believe you got basically 30 more kw just by getting in cold air. Ridiculous how much that matters. Mad!! Can't wait for the skids!!
Between the ridiculously wicked Tracks and the awesome wrenching projects, Your channel is my favorite BY FAR. Always makes my day when I stop by and see more videos dropped!! This Beemer is gonna be crazy good. The LS is an amazing design.
What I love about you guys. From day one of freakin working outside your house. Is how you guys show the importance of details. Screws, bolts, nuts, etc. But I also get jealous cause my 300zxTT aka Z32TT is not in my house. Freakin mechanic taking way too long and I honestly wish you guys were working on it. Been 26 months mate and I’m sad 😞
Is Moog still producing and mixing the music for this series?! Killin’ it with the guitar solo. I’ve never heard that done well with a 4 to floor behind it!
@@AMLagonda They could literally be experts. Many people are just trying to help them out or prevent misinformation. Or it could just be a pet peeve marty and moog have mentioned they have plenty and they will talk about them. So condemning viewers for voicing theirs would also be hypocritical. ...and then some people just want to find things to attack them for. But most aren't about to watch half an episode just to do that. The internet is a big place, you can't expect everyone to share your perspective. But it is fair to expect some level of politeness (unless your videos don't themselves have it).
Just got home from the supermarket. Bought two packs of teriyaki flavoured beef jerky while I was there. Loaded up UA-cam to see if there was anything good to watch while I ate my jerky, and found an MCM video released two minutes ago 😀😀😀
At 4:10 you are oiling the rocker arm seats and getting oil into the bolt holes the rockers are secured by. This is bad form as any oil in a dead ending bolt hole can prevent the bolt from fully engaging into the hole as the oil is trapped and can hydraulically prevent the bolt from fully tightening. the bolt will "appear" to tighten as per spec, but it can still be loose on the item it is meant to secure. Good practice is to use shop air to blow out each bolt hole just before inserting the bolts.
Your vids are always something special. Informative but good humoured. Scotty is a real gem too. Looking forward to seeing what laptime this E30 will set, it’s gonna drive amazingly with all the mods so far. Loving the music too, real emotive.
I have loved the MCM builds over the years. But this one is seriously my absolute favorite. It looks so clean, E30's have such a beautiful design. And I can't imagine how it must feel to rip that thing down a straight away.. sheeesh
I love mighty car mods it’s such a mood booster and gets me through me day at school. I’ve learnt so much about how to work on cars and makes me want to work on my cars even more. Love the videos guys
"Do you think this would fit a Honda?" Lol! Moog is never going to let go. What goes around, comes around. As I recall, BMW used to make plain, unexciting German sedans, until someone (not BMW) got the idea of putting the engine from 2 liter car into the 1.6 liter car. Performance happened. BMW noticed. The rest is history. Can't wait to see the lads put that push-rod-ium goodness to work! Who'd have thought cold air would be worth 30 kw/50 hp?
Pretty crazy gains from the cam and especially the intake. Scotty knows his stuff when he's like "nah, this has more in it, lemme just move this intake" and finds 10% more power.
It’s kinda obvious (for anyone familiar with LS) that it was sucking in hot air, especially when he has the IATs right there in front of him. A healthy cam in a LS3 typically picks up 70-100hp. I didn’t hear the cam specs, and when I saw the 400hp number (50hp gain), I thought they put a fairly mild cam in. Seeing the IATs and the filter placement explained why the first run was so “low” of a gain.
@@stlchucko yeah man I'm certainly no expert, just saying a simple mod like a cam providing like 80kw is impressive. I have a stock ls3 and now I'm considering a cam down the track haha
@@Mr_armageddon I suggest checking out Richard Holdener's channel. He has a slew of LS dyno info. Here's one that has a few LS3 runs. ua-cam.com/video/T2zJ_LAA-vM/v-deo.html
Can't agree more. So many hot air intakes are advertised as cold...and evidently, so many people just don't seem to understand how a cold intake works, or they'd be able to work out for themselves how much those manufacturers are lying to them.
The LS3 Intake needed a little Viagra to "Get it up" and so it could really "Perform" but don't forget if your intake stays up for longer than 4 hours you need to call a doctor...
Back in shop class, I rebuilt a guys 305 in his Nova. Just stock stuff since that's all a highschool kid can afford. He drives it out of the shop and immediately does a brake stand for a minute at high rpm. I was like, that engine is coming back here. Sure enough, next week his car is in the shop and we're redoing it again.
srsly, is MCM the YT channel with the best audio? Like, the mastering feels so well done. i dun even wanna watch their shit on my phone anymore, i need my big cans and fat dac/amp stack.

Love it!
Can you boys stop being so wholesome, positive, and educational? It’s infectious!

Good practice is to use shop air to blow out each bolt hole just before inserting the bolts.
ITs crazy that moving the air filter slightly caused a 40 hp increase.
As someone who doesn’t know shit about cars, that was mind boggling 🤯
Your vids are always something special. Informative but good humoured. Scotty is a real gem too. Looking forward to seeing what laptime this E30 will set, it’s gonna drive amazingly with all the mods so far. Loving the music too, real emotive.
Dodge Hellcat like headlights might work for the cold air intake
I have loved the MCM builds over the years. But this one is seriously my absolute favorite. It looks so clean, E30's have such a beautiful design. And I can't imagine how it must feel to rip that thing down a straight away.. sheeesh
You should have done a trunnion upgrade to get rid of those grenade roller bearings!!
YEP, Only a couple more hundred bucks & NO LITTLE NEEDLE BEARINGS BLOWING OUT IN YOUR ENGINE.
Ooft. The music in this video is strong lads. E30, v8, 80s guitar solos, etherial sounding rousing anthems......I like this channel.
The music is 🔥🔥🔥
I love mighty car mods it’s such a mood booster and gets me through me day at school. I’ve learnt so much about how to work on cars and makes me want to work on my cars even more. Love the videos guys
MCM BMW LS swap VS. BCW Lexus LS swap
Waiting for it... Same car been tune by the wizard Scotty...
"Do you think this would fit a Honda?" Lol! Moog is never going to let go.
What goes around, comes around. As I recall, BMW used to make plain, unexciting German sedans, until someone (not BMW) got the idea of putting the engine from 2 liter car into the 1.6 liter car. Performance happened. BMW noticed. The rest is history.
Can't wait to see the lads put that push-rod-ium goodness to work! Who'd have thought cold air would be worth 30 kw/50 hp?
Looking good “Tuning Fork”! 😁💪🇨🇦
Pretty crazy gains from the cam and especially the intake. Scotty knows his stuff when he's like "nah, this has more in it, lemme just move this intake" and finds 10% more power.
It’s kinda obvious (for anyone familiar with LS) that it was sucking in hot air, especially when he has the IATs right there in front of him. A healthy cam in a LS3 typically picks up 70-100hp. I didn’t hear the cam specs, and when I saw the 400hp number (50hp gain), I thought they put a fairly mild cam in. Seeing the IATs and the filter placement explained why the first run was so “low” of a gain.
@@stlchucko yeah man I'm certainly no expert, just saying a simple mod like a cam providing like 80kw is impressive. I have a stock ls3 and now I'm considering a cam down the track haha
@@Mr_armageddon I suggest checking out Richard Holdener's channel. He has a slew of LS dyno info. Here's one that has a few LS3 runs.

@@stlchucko cheers bud, will do.
I came for the car, then I came again for that 80s guitar solo...
The perfect E30 all it needs now is a Z3 steering rack conversion and you have an absolute winner there boys 👊🏼
This is a positive comment for the youtube algorithm.
This video gives off 2014 MCM vibes and I'm here for it 💜💙 Thanks for the throwback!
with just a cold air intake... and people be replacing them cold air intakes to hot...🤣🤣
Can't agree more. So many hot air intakes are advertised as cold...and evidently, so many people just don't seem to understand how a cold intake works, or they'd be able to work out for themselves how much those manufacturers are lying to them.
The music in this episode is incredible as always
The LS3 Intake needed a little Viagra to "Get it up" and so it could really "Perform" but don't forget if your intake stays up for longer than 4 hours you need to call a doctor...
Or more women ?
or just 2jz swap it
This is one of my best days of the week when you come out with a video! Love this music, THX!
I love how you don't do a burnout as soon as the engine is running. Adulting like Adults.
Back in shop class, I rebuilt a guys 305 in his Nova. Just stock stuff since that's all a highschool kid can afford. He drives it out of the shop and immediately does a brake stand for a minute at high rpm. I was like, that engine is coming back here. Sure enough, next week his car is in the shop and we're redoing it again.
No fun at parties.
srsly, is MCM the YT channel with the best audio?
Like, the mastering feels so well done.
i dun even wanna watch their shit on my phone anymore, i need my big cans and fat dac/amp stack.
