- It's been over a YEAR since work began on my abandoned Corvette C6 ZR1 and it's FINALLY time to take it for it's first drive! IF we can build oil pressure, that is...

OFFICIAL HORSEPOWER GUESS COMMENT THREAD 👇🏻
986 hp
1285 whp 😬
675 HP
1035 rwhp. I mean Lee wants to crack 4 digits and beat Dalt's LS Porsche right?
950
dont care about the power, but that sound is angels singing.
🙏
Sound of an inefficient cam that is not needed on a supercharged vehicle.
You guys are genuinely good dudes. I knew i liked the videos, but my kid reached out to you because he recently wrecked his evo. It's been rough on him. Just the fact that you guys responded to him meant a lot. Really cool.
Solid build man. Glad it all turned out. Appreciate the business!!
876hp is my guess, either way it's 🔥! Great build! One of my favorite channels to watch!
I'm noticing a dynamic with these builds: Lee is definitely more the purist while Dalt's more the mad scientist. Would love to see Lee doing a crazy fantasy engine swap of his own (The Redeye maybe?) and Dalt go down the purist route once things settle down at the shop. Great job cranking out two builds in a month!
why would he possible do that... if you taken apart a c5 or newer you would know its not worth the pain and suffering
Fun fact Synergy Motorsports used my car to mock and fab that C6 trunk tank on my A2W YSI Z06. Gotta keep them IATs down!! Cool seeing guys all over running the tank knowing my car helped to make it happen!! BTW with a cam and your muffler deletes you won’t hear noises from the trunk tank. I can’t with my setup with corsa sports.
This is one of my favorite channels. Always look forward to new videos.
We require more info on the burned up ZR1 along with a parts breakdown.
I know, he said he paid 15k so I sure hope the motor is at least good. Passenger side seemed to be decent.
Theres no way it was 15k i wouldnt pay 1500 thats crazy
"Yeah I get it, shut up." Is the most relatable thing I've seen as a Corvette owner lol.
My Pops had a 2012 ZR1 in the blue. That thing is bad asssss sir. Great work! Thing was sick.
He now has the 2017 Z06. Do one of those!!!
Cannot wait to see the dyno numbers on this beast! It looks good, it sounds good, great build!!! BUT! "Two Guys, Lotsa Lube"...how did that make the final cut???
Sweet sound of FREEDOM!!!
"Lots of heat, lots of lube and two guys" 6:58
That was hilarious
Glad you took it to Fran. RPM best in business!
Should check out late model performance. I like em more
@@peterb4143 LMP is a very good company too but better… idk.
This car sounds so good! The video does not do it justice.
Its dope seeing all the projects come together.
some high pressure injector pumps require a low pressure high volume lift pump that is pressure regulated with an air separator canister that bleeds back into the main tank... that's how the #044 155psi 90GPH pump I have works, that and 10 gauge wires to power the three pumps because is has two lift pumps "one on each side of the main tank, 14GPM 80psi lift pump regulated to 45psi so the actual fuel injector pump does very little to bring it up to the rail".
“Lots of heat lots of lube and two guys” bad choice of wording 😂
Extremely impressive work you guys have done. I’ve been following this zr1 build.
I give a lot of respect for what a good mechanic he is.
I just wanna know how much spending goes into this kind of build 😭😭😭
We don’t talk about the cost part 🥲
If you ignore the financial irresponsibility it doesn’t count.
@@scraplifegarage then ignore I shall🤣🤣🤣 but much respect to you, after this zr1 series I’m a big fan and can’t wait for more.
Opened my eyes to how much work goes into a 1000 hp build.
"Lots of heat, lots of lube and two guys." ~ Lee C 2023 👌
HAHAHA, I was looking for this comment and can't believe it took me that long. AS soon as he said it, I figured everyone would be commenting, guess not, lol.
Also, I think that's the follow up to, "Two Girls, One Cup" 🤣🤣
@@DaddyMack001 Yeah I felt like being an immature person that day lol.
Fellow ZR1 owner. Congrats. Car is sick! Excited to see the next video on the dyno and track. Interested see your wheel tire setup and how it does with traction :)
THE best generation and trim/color
i'm a ford guy but this vette is sweet! 700hp!
What an incredible transformation!
I always use a test probe through the installation of the wire prior to the connection when I’m checking voltage.
y’all are definitely my favorite youtubers i love when y’all post, but i’m gonna guess the zr1 got 1137
ok, this is a quote from this video: "Absolute pain to get on, lots of heat, lots of lube, two guys. I plan to clean up". Not sure what kind of video would have that quote.
😱
Sounds great!
1100 horsepower... love your cars
MAN this car really came together. AMAZING
at 5:42 love that line " I had to bust out my below avg fabricating skills "..LOL
1064 is my guess! Love the car!
958hp is my number love the videos guys my favorite build channel keep up the work guys ur fan/friend Mikey n south Florida 😀😄🥺😝
I want to say 1200 hp and 900ftlbs . Its my dream build so I hope I’m close .
That sound is music to my ears
Another great video and car selection.
Beautiful zr1
I don't think anyone in there right mind would abandon a car like that as much as I enjoy your show I find this too beli
Awesome find
852hp and a awesome ride
WHO EVER LIVES IN THOES HOUSES LOVE DAT SHIT!❤️🔥
Sounds amazing
Congratulations man
test lights are good handy sometimes
im gonna say 1,031 and what an amazing looking and sounding corvette, and for you to say it might be too loud means it must be unreal, you should get some decibel readings from it
With your lining around metal brackets would recommend silicone or rubber.
880 non tune 940 to 1100 tuned
That look on your face early on when you were checking the oil pressure with the gauge in your hand then your face went blank for a second andI was like Nooooooo!!! Tell me it’s got pressure, then he smile. That was great 😂😂😂😂
I'm guessing 897hp once its tuned. 900 if Fernado isn't in the passenger seat
4:48 "I'm a snaaaaake. I'm a slithery little snaaaaake." That's all I could think at that point. lol
Great video! 756 HP to the wheels.
If it's oil pressure, check the oil galley plug...chevy motors have an issue for that
Love it!
sweet ride. thinking 995 at the wheel
9:10 the relay for the intercooler pump is supposed to be of a thermostatic switch same as the radiator fan... will not turn on below "?*F/C" to prevent ice from accumulating inside the cooler that would clog the intake. to that a handful of dry ice chunks in the water box just goes... if it was running full time "excessive battery consumption (-mpg)" and the grid would see -80*F thus clogging up with crystalized water vapor.
Love the zr1! Bet it will make 831hp and 780tq
Guessing horsepower @ rear wheels…. 887 ! Dang I hope I’m right fingers crossed!! I love your videos keep dem a. Coming & God bless
I believe this monster if a car will make around 1069. That Kong supercharger is beautiful, and that thing sounds so throaty🤤🤤. Can't wait to see what she does and how fast she is down the track. Amazing job fellas, you have one beautiful car there, now take her down the track and be dirty with her😂😂
987 HP…. Love that car! A little rough around the edges but it’s perfect to me!
Hahaha, flip the catch can filters over. I bet that felt great to drive it with full oil pressure👍🌟🌟
Favorite series 🔥😁
That’s my ‘Cuppa Tea’ ! 😎😎😎
You and Fernando make a great team! What's with all the new ink?
You guys are great, keep it up. I'm gonna say 932whp.
975 HP 👏
Nice Car !!!
Wrap that cooler box with sound insulation and carpet to lessen the noise in the cockpit.
Great content!
896 Dyno estimate - from Apex Auto Parts - Brookfield, Illinois.
My guess... 1162 WHP when you dyno the ZR1.
Love the videos cant wait to see the reall HP number on the build
Awesome video, thanks
We already watched it get pulled on HARD by the TT LS3 911 at the race event unless there was another ZR1 the same color one racing at the event. I would hope it make over 1k but I am guessing on pump 948whp and on E85 1073whp if I remember the build correctly.
850-890 hp with a good tuner
Fran will have you around 1000hp!
Tow truck arrives: I thought you were bringing me a 10 second car! 😂😂😂
623hp crank ❤
Did you check fuel relay fuse, relay needed separate ground wire it seems like it could be relay, did you test resistance ect?
Why not just tap it to any other 12v at key on???
Agreed, that way he can run Ice water to the bricks when the car is not running.
You will loose control of pump via hptuners. Pump will attempt to kick on immediately vs the preset delay you see after start/ ac on. This pump draws hella amps and with give you all kinds of issues upon start. In accessory mode it will also draw enough power to kill your battery in about 10 min. It will work both ways but it’s best to let car control it. It gave me no speedo, no tach, check engine lights, abs and suspension warning all because car was “starving” of power on start up. Wired it to harness and all problems gone.
25:37 1100/1000 on dyno😊
Nice to see another candidate for the Narrows Bridge run. Horse power has to be 997 at the wheels,
Imagine having a car so loud you have to shut it off just to talk on the phone😂😂😂
1000hp!
Yah! You turned a corvette into an aquarium.
1007 hp love the videos
Am i the only one or somebody else too waiting for the next video.....
#wewantdemonrebuildasap
I enjoy this channel because it seeks the opportunity in “Junk”
I'm guessing about 776 to the wheel. I'd just like a piece of the burnt Vette and a sticker. Vettes are my favorite since I had my first ride in my uncle's orange 73 t top . It was the start lol.
Great vid bro still expecting dodge demon vid
950-1000 hp on dyno and can't wait for new vids
906whp Iced down 👍
❤ zr1
Been waiting for this vid. That vette is sick. My guess is a solid 911whp. Gonna b coming for that poorsh.
Dude you are one lucky sob to have an amazing Corvette! They are badass and you have built a monster!! Fuck yeah bruh!! Awesome!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪💪
I like how they uintentionally spoil some episodes through other episodes, like last video's porsche and the race track part we saw this vette and the porsche racing
Good video.
I think it'll make 1,100 buff horses honestly
All you have to do is get a regular 4 pin relay, Bosch style, and run a good power in, good power out to the pump, ground it and use a switched 12v source for the switching current for the relay. It'll run all the time but who cares.
Gm uses hot relays and powers them with constant 12v and then uses the ecu to ground the relay to activate it. Safer maybe, no Idea
@@ryanbarbolt3691 Not safer, actually slightly less safe, as the wire now always has power on it, but transistors switching to ground are just way more efficient, so they can be much smaller, cheaper, stay colder and last longer. That's also why positive ground would make sense again (and is now often used in electronics), but it would be confusing for mechanics, which is why nobody does it. No car manufacturer wants to replace 20 modules on a brand new car because their own dealership tech connected the battery in reverse.
I'm gonna say 999 at the wheels.
Nice job! It will make 825
Always entertaining! 867 hp
