Glad to see you back. Thank you so much for the informative videos. My 11' Grand Cherokee had cam and lifter failure and thanks to your videos I was able to do the swap myself. I put in a non mds 6.4 cam, hellcat oil pump and hellcat lifters and had the tuning done by MMX. Just getting over the break in period now.
Love hearing stuff like this, congratulations on getting that accomplished! 👊
I'm glad I restarted this series. It is motivating me to get out there and fix my Charger!
Heck ya! 👍
Thank you Sky for making a build not so scary. I was able to change lifters on my 6.1 hemi because of you. I have been building up my tool collection for years. Soon will be attempting a camshaft upgrade myself. Time and space is a factor for now. You are appreciated!
Love hearing the success stories, congratulations 👏
Fabrication: the action or process of manufacturing or inventing something. Boogie on!
Can’t wait to see the next video. 😊
You taken me back to my HS Voc Tech days, three years welding in the shop. Mig, Tig, Arc etc. Somehow when ever I was Tig welding despite have those long leather gloves, my bare arm would touch the metal bench and I get that quick jolt of electrify. Fun times. Can't wait to see the finished product. I think you should fabricate a cross ram manifold for your next project. Two TB and long intake runners like the 60-61 cross ram setup, loved how those 4bbl carbs with the bronze air cleaners hung over the valve covers.
Great job! I love to see people doing something different. By the way I've been told aluminum dust is not the best thing to breathe while cutting. You might want to wear a mask while cutting.
Just wanna say thanks to the videos you referred me too. I installed a 6.4l cam w/ new lifters(MDS still), the high volume oil pump, the whole timing chain, the springs, rods, gaskets, seals, 180degree thermostat (instead of the 203degree),radiator, high output alternator, and really deep cleaned and painted everything. All because the help from your videos. The only problems I ran into are, I have to redo the timing cover seal(leaking) and some weird random leak that’s taking place basically under my drivers seat under the car, that is confusing a few different techs. But thanks, my 5.7l is working again without dishing out $4g’s to a shop for just labor.
Great progress with the tools you have Skyman 👍
I was one of the first ones to do this. Search Eaton Supercharged Ram.
Should show up on Dodgetalk
Glad to see you back sky. I'm pumped to see this build under way. As a welder for 13 years now, them welds look sound enough. Al can be very tricky and sensitive due to the oxide layer. I like to use a mix with helium when welding thicker Al. Cleanliness is key. You say it's nearly 100 degrees, your fighting that hydrogen in the humidity. Keep up the awesome work pal.
Keep these type of videos coming, nice work!
Thanks Michael!
Yay, finally more.
I'm excited too! Let the custom work commence!
Glad you took a break for yourself and now refreshed to start the Magnum PI build. 👍. The thing you said about diving in, I completely agree. We gotta just get out of our comfort zone sometimes and go for it!
Yay new video!
About time right? 😄
Glad to hear you had a good trip and time to reignite, 😁
Looking forward to seeing more on this project. Your skills are great and you are creating something special there.
If I may, get a good saber saw. I have a Makita JV2000. Have had it for ages. It is very easy to control as it is barrel body design with the power trigger being a long lever on the underside. Not a top handle, thus very easy to maneuver. I cut wood, metal and aluminum. To cut out those holes, it would have made life so much easier. And not as expensive as a plasma table. 😀
I totally thought I had a jigsaw, in fact I even bought blades for it, then got home and realized I never brought it with me from Texas 😂 Oops.... That saber saw looks good though!
@@ReignitedAuto Oops is just part of the car hobby as I'm sure you and all watching know. As you noted in your video, can't make progress without the oops!
I think a better way may have been weld the intake runners than uas a router with flush trim bit. Or even a round over bit. Aluminum cuts alot like wood. Most wood working tools work on aluminum.
Ive always wanted to twin charge an engine the opposite way that most do because I think the rotors and case of a supercharger create too much restriction on the top end when feed with boosted air from turbos. I'd like to have the supercharger supply boosted air to the turbo(s) and then feed to the engine. I think the idea would make for good content in a head to head situation.
You are very gifted..I wish you were around my way I would bring you my rigs to fix lol
Appreciate the kind words my man, thanks for watching all the videos!
Awesome video!! keep them coming!!
I just bought a 2012 challenger SRT 8 with a bad engine for only $1800 and this video really inspires me to do something crazy with the 6.4 in it since it’s needs to be rebuilt anyway but what discourages me is overall cost of having to upgrade everything else such as transmission and diff and tuning
Wow that's sooo cheap I need one lol
You stole that for 1800
Holy cow, that's an insane deal!
I’m praying for you brother, I want to see her running strong without throwing belts constantly. Love your fab work she’s going to be a beast for sure. You going to chop your hood or run without one temporarily? Might be fun to design and build your own scoop or bubble or maybe go old school like a Demon style scoop? Can’t wait to see what you do and n the future. All the best man 👍
One of my goals was to make this fit under the stock hood. I see now that I'm delusional 😂 I don't want to do anything to this car that can't be undone since I'm going to sell it in it's stock form when I'm done with it. So it'll be no hood for now.
Awesome content, thanks man !
Raw castings and forgings, as well as finished components for Japanese, American, German, and Korean vehicles, are produced in China.
I’m gonna rebuild my 5.7 myself, and I’m looking for stroker options. It ill take me a while - money, time and space are all concerns, but I want to thank you for takng the ‘scary’ out of the whole process!
For a plasma table I have seen other UA-camrs use an ArcDroid, I think that’s what it is, which is a much smaller, workbench mounted cutting machine. Maybe that could suit your needs?
I saw that on the Grind Hard Plumbing channel. I think though there's a fairly cheap plasma table made by Langmuir systems, Gingium has one of those and I think I'd rather go that route. The arc droid still needs to have a cutting bed underneath it to work well. Does seem like a neat machine though.
I bought one of your shirts and you disappeared, I figured you were 30$ away from retirement and I got you to your goal🤣😂🤣 just kidding great videos 👍👍👍👍👍
It's like the Instagram post I saw the other day, "I looked at my bank account and realized I had enough money to retire comfortably... as long as the world ends on Wednesday" 😂
Nice job 👍
This is way too cool. Is there a "poor" man's Sema that you could display the finished product? This is the first twin charged hemi that I know of.
Well we are still early stages yet, but I hope to pull it off! Appreciate you watching Doug 👊
Well, I dove into it like you said. My teeth are now broken.
No lifeguard on duty 😄
Following this build in order. Will you be using the AC as an Inner Chiller for the Supercharger?
If u wanted AC get compressor off preus they are electric mount anywhere
I did think about something like that, but I'm having to remove a bunch of a/c lines in the engine bay to get the turbo and downpipe to fit anyway, so I'm considering it an acceptable loss.
TURBO YODA!
Great work! I'm looking forward to ep.4 I am considering attempting this myself. I appreciate you taking the time to film and explain the process.
One thing that has held me up is, how are you going to get the supercharger to communicate with the ecm?
When weld aluminium, clean it just right before weld. I dont anymore remember exact time how fast oxide layer comes on aluminium, but its fast, like 15-30min. Now, why worry about oxide layer, it takes alot more heat to melt and poor weld, makes pores etc.
Question: if you're creating the manifold from scratch, why wouldnt you just offset the supercharger forward and add a secondary belt system instead of going through all the accessory hastle?
It’s a monster
Why not an intercooler manifold...?...
Space is the primary reason. I was trying to fit this thing under the stock hood. But more and more that's seeming very unlikely, so I should have gone full bore and made the intake with an intercooler and made it like a foot and a half tall! 😂
I’m waiting for someone to use a Harley drive belt for a supercharger or accessories.
Hey my 2012 Chrysler 300s with the hemi is having an issue Turing off. I try to push the button to turn it off and it says the vehicle is not in park. If I jiggle the shifter it eventually goes into park and turns off. Any ideas on what it could be?
So there won't be any issues with running a vvt timing cover on a non vvt block and cam ? Would make it alot easier to swap to egale heads
Technically to run the VVT timing cover you'd have to run a 17mm spacer between the oil pump and the front crank pulley. But really there's no reason to run a newer style timing cover if all you are doing is swapping cylinder heads. I'm just going with a crazy timing coverbecause it suits my particular project. 👍
Twin charged is that a thing?
Yes sir, check out Mighty Car Mods little k car the superturbo. It's supercharged and turbocharged right from the factory. Now as far as any performance gains from doing this, not really 😄 You'd be far better off just doing one or the other, but I just felt like doing something ridiculous on this build. 👍
What size gasket did you end up going with for the eagle heads?
I'll be posting a video about it somewhat soon, but I'm wimping out and just sticking an Eagle engine in there. I picked one up pretty cheap and so all I've got to do is gap the rings in this new engine and slap the supercharger on there. I'd like to use this engine in the configuration that I've got it in a naturally aspirated build, but I'd have to throw a set of stock piston rings back in it. No biggie.
Please tell me what is the track at 5:45 ?
A jig saw with the right blade will make that easier
No doubt, and I actually bought jigsaw blades because I thought I had one, but apparently I didn't 😂 oops...
I have a magnum you NEED A/C lol
Does the 8hp70 transmission bolt up to an early hemi from the early 2000s?
Yes, it's a small block mopar bell housing. I've got one bolted to an engine from an '06 for a swap project I'm working on.
@@danielcones4241 nice.I’m wanting to do a hemi 8hp70 swap for my Jeep.
I've always been told tig welding is a tough skill to master. Looks like your getting good at it to me especially doing aluminum. Would doing it with a mig be any easier?
I love TIG welding stainless, and mild steel is pretty straightforward, but man aluminum can be tricky. I got a chance to weld 3/16 plate today and it's so much easier already than the 1/4" or the 3/8". MIG welding aluminum is best left for industrial jobs, it looks really messy in my opinion and it's even harder to control your heat since there's no way to vary the amperage while you're welding. 👍
I really enjoy your videos and especially those that are geared toward shade tree mechanics and those with limited skills and/or limited access to race shop equipment. For what it's worth, a video on how to install a mostly bolt-on supercharger (for the 5.7L hemi) would be far more valuable to me and perhaps a good chunk of your regular viewers. When my 2021 R/T shaker Challenger warranty is over this is the upgrade I will be seriously looking into. I suspect that many other viewers will be doing the same as this is probably the biggest bang for the buck upgrade that can be done on that engine. Unfortunately, the "major surgery" approach you are taking in this video would never work for me. Please consider this as your next project. Thanks for the great videos! I live in Portland and would have you do this upgrade for me (and make a video of it) in a heartbeat if you were doing client work in your shop.
Frank I definitely hear what you're saying, and I would love to do a bolt on supercharger setup. Unfortunately it pretty much comes down to cost, since I don't have $7k to drop on a supercharger and make a video that will probably get $100 in return. But you're right that I do get a lot of requests for that video. If you do decide to pull the trigger on that I'd love to do the install. 👍
No ac 🫠😭
You're not wrong 😄
