This dude literally building and reverse engineering abwiring harness. I can't even figure out how to wire a damn old school distributor. This dude is using every ounce of grey matter between his ears he has for this. It's amazing
Microprocessor programming is quite simple to be honest. You could learn that easily from materials online.
There are plenty of schematics available, reverse engineering is not even required. If that impresses you how about this: You can literally make your own ECU using an Arduino.
@@MiGujack3 considering I am a certified dumbass when it comes to electronics. That's shits mad crazy that ya can do that!!
@@MiGujack3 You can even do an ECU with some opamps (I mean fuel delivery)... a complete ignition advance control would be more challenging...
this has to be the most impressive diy project on UA-cam right now! Each video gets better and better as the build comes along, good luck in continuation!
Project Binky from bad obsession Motorsport is even better. But this is also great
I love the engineering explained aspect. It's good to see the science behind the build. Plus he's building this in a modest space with minimal tooling. No cnc, no 3d printer, no plasma cutter. It's something that could have been done decades ago.
Well done. He deserves 10 times the subscriptions.
@@michelevitarelli Minimal tooling? Have you watched any of the earlier videos? He used a plasma cutter in just about every video. He even has a freakin milling machine...
It's insane your channel hasnt got more subscribers. Great content bro, keep it up!
Its cuz algorithm promote channels with regular upload. This guy dont post everyday 10min videos about welding 1 pipe, so algorythms dont promote him :/
He is too smart for YT.
Too informative, interesting and too good content.
Thats why.
He needs a video with titles: Here is how I made F1 formula out of my E55
Well I'm still happy with the way it is. Appreciate the support from all you guys!
Emils Kurpnieks totally agree, like building F1 formula in my garage part##. Make like more series. This build should be on the car magazines and the press. Great job bro
Greetings from vancouver
I learn so much from this channel! Can't wait for this project to be complete 🙌!
I am literally halfthrough of my master work, and that 3 videos you created about angles in suspension helped me a lot
Quality content, thank you :)
You work fast not like others who need 5 years to end a project. Keep it real.
Building a car is enough work without shooting video as well, mad respect to you. Really enjoying the series! Keep it up
I can't believe this guy. So casual about building a race car that is so finely engineered that its tolerances are tighter than production race cars. Blown away; it's surreal to watch. I wish I could subscribe every time I watch a video so that your channel becomes more well known. How you don't have millions of subscribers is beyond me. UA-cam Gold.
I have hundreds of subscriptions, yours is the only one I have notifications enabled for.
“That’s all I have for this video” is the saddest part of each series.
Also, how did you learn all this? Vehicle dynamics and design, electrical engineering/programming + all the manufacturing is very impressive
Thats the nicest hand built chassis ive ever seen. Very intelligent dude being able to do all of this by yourself. I hope to be doing this in years to come on a smaller scale, like a big go kart.
this is the most ambitious project on yt right now and you're just breezing through it!
This series is by far the most exciting thing to see when I check my subscription feed.
this is beast KEEP GOING !! YOURE MAKING HISTORY AND YOU DONT KNOW IT
Thank God you salvaged those turn indicator handles so your competitors will know which way you are going on the track 🤣
Really awesome work. I’m enjoying every episode and watch it with utmost respect and admiration. 👍
easily the best car channel on youtube atm, you are super smart :P
You make it look all so easy. I think your videos will encourage a lot of people to get into building customs. Great job !!
Wow. I just want to say that I have just found this channel and I have not watched all your videos yet but I am amazed how in depth and good these are. They are brilliant. Really helps me to design my own race car. Thank you so much. It is mesmerising
This build is in the true spirit of the privateer. Thanks for sharing. Treat yourself to a car lift.
I agree with all the other poster’s- Ridiculously impressive series. This guy’s channel actually made me sign up for instagram, just so I can DM him. I really appreciate the level of detail and information, as well as the delivery. Very nice work sir. I’ve watched your M113K rebuild series a couple times, just to prep myself for keeping my E55 in the game. Many thanks!
I haven't been so excited for an upload in a while😆 Now I can't wait till the crumble zone and radiator is installed. Well done Shehryar💯
Amazing, and need to invent extra hands or holders or train the cat to help!!....the welder might spookum but a great and cheap inspirational cat side kick video I would👍
Fantastic build as usual SK and very timely.
My son and I are currently swapping a M113 and ZF six speed into a W201 190E 2.6 chassis and are just sorting out the steering Shaft to a w210 Steering Rack.
We have learned so much from your intuitive videos----------keep up the great work.
You are a very complete engineer for your age - I really enjoy watching your videos.
Outstanding. I like the way you solve complex problems in a simple intuitive manner!
At 18:15 my brain started fart so loud, this region is beyond my knowledge, nothing came thru my brain, you are genius man!!
I learn so much of your channel, thanks bro!
Btw, you re the only guy who cut the brand new inner tie rod!
You take building a race car to a whole new level. Literally from the ground up. Great job keep up the good work.
Like I said before, you're a animal. Great content and lots of info that helps to get my 55 back together.
Thanks for another great video. I've been plotting something similar with BMW's N74 (was the M70 when I started planning this) for 20yrs. Gives me the impetus to actually get on and do it. Many thanks
Just do it!
I want to see it!
Just started following a couple weeks ago . Great vids keep it up man. the tube needs more people like you
Such a cool DIY project. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make these videos! Absolute gold 💪🏻
You got this far... FINISH STRONG THIS IS INCREDIBLE
great that you succeeded in adapting the electric steering wheel adjustments !
This series is what made me subscribe. I can't wait to see how this car turns out.
I love that u r doing all this. Especially as I think I will have to make all new suspension pieces for my CLS.
Keep up the great work.
Very nice work . I'm very impressed with your work and commentary . Looking forward to more electrical controls and engine management. Thank you for the content. I have a class 1 off road style chassis that can be retrofitted into anything i want, and a 2005 W211 M.B. My son abandoned at my home, So why not make something out of basically scrap metal at this point. Thanks for the content great work keep it coming.
Based and redpilled username.
I agree with Kai Diego. This is so fun to watch. I only wish the videos came more often. Keep up the good work!
I love this build series. Best on UA-cam - incredible!! Perfect engine AMG V8 😁👍🏻👍🏻 You’re awesome keep it up!! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪👊🏻
this dude might be the best automotive engineer in the world.
Your project is every mans dream.
So cool!
Bump steer is when the car actually steers left or right when hitting bumps by turning the wheel/following cracks/waves in the road.... think of bump steer like a lever, one for each wheel, one side of the lever is the steering wheel and the other side is the tire.... it should be easier to move from the steering wheel side and harder to move from the tire side, ( levers only work one way )
Would definitely like to see a video with a breakdown of the microcontroller schematics, the sketch you created and how you went about programming. I'm about 80% on board by looking at the finished breadboard in the video but would like to learn it all.
Have you considered to move all of the cooling system to the rear?
Way more room for a decent radiator and fans, out of harms way of debris, and
engine-damaging collision leakage.
Extra cooling ducts above the rear wheels, piped to the radiator area would help.
That steering wheel (column) setup is so complicated- and I know it
must be fun to have all that functionality- but wouldn't just a simple shaft
suffice? On a "track" car- is all of that necessary? That whole unit must be heavy?
Will this car be capable of 1/4 mile drag, or just strictly track?
Will it be "street legal"?
Your build reminds me of Cleatus McFarland's car Leroy; a Corvette without a body-
and that car is fast AF.
From what i have seen in YT, in 'Murica everything can be street legal.
Kept cooling at the front to keep things simple. It becomes a hassle changing fluids and bleeding the system if the pipes are too long. This way maintenance will be easier. Steering column seems heavy but its actually magnesium, weighs 6kg. A non electric one might have been 4kg. I do want it to be adjustable so other people can drive it later. Its designed for circuit racing but who know I might give it a run down the drag strip after its all working!
I had a old no power steering car with very slow steering, always too slow to catch a oversteer moment and a workout to do auto x. It involved over 360 degree inputs each left and right, hand over hand over hand over hand let go hand over hand hand over hand. Now I have a MR-S which has rather quick steering for a street car, it feels more like the race games. It's so nice not having to hand over hand
This channel is a true gem
You are a legend. This is seriously impressive.
Thank you for the quality of the information and build !
Great progress, few days ago re-watched your journey of how E55 came to this point, was ton of fun.
But.. I still cant get over those 4 bolts holding the front end on.
So Excited to see this car on the track ! respect for this work !
I have to say that your knowledge is astounding.
I think that it would be amazing to spend a few weeks working alongside you on a project like this as I have so many questions that I believe you could help me with.
Also it’s my birthday in September so I would dearly love for you to succeed in goal to complete this build.
This guy is smart and passionate!
A real genius and a craftsman...ill watch till your build is complete.are u an automotive engineer?u seem to know a lot about car build.
Well done! It’s coming together very nicely.
Very impressive, starting to look like a spaceship.
Yeah dude, you rock. It is always so exciting to watch the thing coming together
Thanks for sharing. Love it. I bet it takes quite a bit of effort to steer this thing.
i hit the wall with this can electrical systems, your a genius , some info vid on how you figured out that system would be sweet. awesome work best of luck
Love the microcontroller solution you've decided to implement! You could even do i2c bus and control more devices with 2 wire connectivity if you wanted. You could then include other MCUs and then hook them up to your laptop via USB (i2c) to diagnose them and program them individually. My MCU of choice are the Microchip devices in either 8, 12 or 16 pin config. I like the nand driver you chose to drive the relays. You could even do opto relays to save weight, space and EMI emissions from the firing of the physical relays. You should use ferrite chokes to reduce signal interference on your signal lines. Put ferrites on the output of the relays and also on the signal outputs of the relay controller. You'll thank me when you're not getting ghost firing of your relays from all the EMI interference being emitted from your ignition coils and other EMI sources. May want to shield the wires too to ground. Hope that helps.
Love how the build is coming along ! Awesome job! Keep up the great work! Saving space in my calendar to come out and see your inaugural race! :)
Thanks for the information! Yeh, usually I add more filtering but since this is just a simple circuit for turn signals, I didn't do much. But yeh EMI is really a problem in car electronics. I've had trouble with it before. Usually an inductor and capacitor filter makes a big difference
@@xfmotorsportsThe use of an inductor capacitor filter across the output is a great idea. You should also consider the use of either pull-up or pull-down resistors, depending on the activation voltage of your relays and any brownout voltage situations of your battery under load.
Really enjoying how your project is coming along. Keep up the good work!
Coming along great what a beautiful looking car set of tubes! Extra style points for reusing the column!
Can't wait to see the crumple zone. What a good idea ;)
Mate, you are next level in every way. Awesome work.
This videos are soooo F cool!!!!! Keep it up and thanks for making them! 👌💯🙌
Another great video. Loving this project, all the fabrication skills showed and the explanations. Any plans for waterproofing the electronics? Conformal Silicone?
Also: TIL that turn signal noises come from relay chips. So cool!
thank you for your videos, fun to watch ! impressed by your knowledge and no fear in taking something like this on! and I was thinking I'm good for changing all discs and pads on my CLS55 by myself.
This build is spectacular. Thank you for sharing you skills.
you should have like 100k subs atleast
I say this again, *please* release the 3D model for us to look at the geometry. It would be so nice
To control heat while welding get some aluminum cooling blocks. Basically big blocks of aluminum that will dissipate heat from the part.
how the hell has this only 29k subscribers!! People do not know what they are missing.
Awesome content, building a offroad CBR600 buggy right now, very useful tips!
You are a genius 👏👏👏
About tie rod...
Isnt it is wiser to "weaken" the tie rod? So when sh!t happend, your steering rack and mountings will be safer? (Tie rod as sacrifice)
mokujin this is very true, learned this from a very smart old mechanic. You are correct
@@german_2jz269 the factory already does this, thats why they taper the ball joint end
Yeah. This is common practice with most suspension components actually.
Awesome video as always! I learned a good bit with this video. Can't wait for the next one!
we should start making this channel as great as possible. go spread the word!
I wish you all the best buddy. you have an awesome project that is really inspiring
I already pressed the 'like' button. Will watch the video tomorrow.
Awesome content as usual, can't wait for this baby to be done
He is my hero now.
You have skill my friend
I'm late in this project. My gess about the steering column is about front impact to not have back mouvement in the steering wheel.
Do you low-key want to build a drift version of the asl ? ;)))
hahahah
Awesome content!
Great progress. Impressed by your electronic know how as well, will definitely implement on my ' dreams ' in future .
Keep going as l can't wait for next video 😁
Question: why did you not disassemble the German steering rack and make a new one that was more conventional using straight shafts and universal joints? I think that it would be worth it since space is scarce inside of the car. Thanks, keep up the amazing work
He said, as the seat is fixed, he need the steering with all the adjustment to adjust his position inside the car. (sorry my bad english)
So insightful and knowledgeable! Brilliant
You were talking about metal losing its strength after welding. Did You ever hear about stress relief (glowing)? I learned that this should be done after welding in order re-establish the natural 3D ion grid. That ion grid simply works like Your car body frame. I also wonder why You do such a great job but seemingly never thought about a trans axle construction for a better balance of weight ration on both axes. You'd also have more space for ya steering mechanism.
Amazing project; well done! Can't wait for the video for electronics. 👍👍
Great series, super detailed and intresting to watch!
With the really low steering ratio will that make the steering heavy? Will you end up developing arms like Popeye the sailor man? Also this is a fantastic video series I am always delighted when I see a new addition, thank you for sharing you work and your knowledge with us.
Haha, its a hydraulic power steering rack so shouldn't be too hard to turn, but definitely more than a regular car
@@xfmotorsports Oh I didn't see the hydraulics so I just assumed it wasn't, obviously that is something you will connect later in the build.
The steering ratio will be super fun.
This guy is amazing
you should have used solid state relay (transistors), much smaller and can fit on a pcb. nice project by the way, Very interesting
Mate, I NEED and WANT To learn about those micro controllers. I need to custom made my car!
Please do a video on chips and Circuits and how to wire them up what are the small resisters for set by step would be cool thanks you.. good job on the progress on ur race car
super interesting content, keep going and subscribers will flow in like air through a good intake manifold!
Your making great progress mate. Keep up the good work
Awesome project, man! Can't wait to see it on the track :D
You are genius bro🤓
Did you set your steering limits with your brake callipers on? they may hit things before you hit lock.
That bumpsteer explanation seems slightly off, won't your anti dive/squat geometry toss a tiny(insignificantly small?) amount of toe change throughout the suspension travel as you can't mount your tie rod precisely on the centerline?
I would have just decoded the Merc canbus messages and kept the original wheel module, unless it requires some kind of stupid ring type message registration to keep the module working.
But whatever works for you! Nice job!
