Glad you're loving the bike, friend! The Accord build is coming out SICK! Keep it up!
bicycles are for children, dui enjoyers, and hipsters
Whole heartedly agree. Love cars, love my bikes. I swear they are meant to be together
@@barrettschluckebier5000 you'd be surprised how many car guys work at BikesOnline....so yeah, we agree. Haha!!
Syncing the tack welds to the music was a legit touch, dude.
Always gotta do it
It’s so funny how u decided to put a coma before the word dude , makes it seem like your speechless or in awe
@@GRIM.2002it’s not a big deal, dude 😂
@@4Beamz I know it’s not , I said it was funny , then proceeded to explain , 3.0 GPA shit only braH u wouldn’t understand , lol jk
FINALLYYY, vibrant is onboard, i´ve been waiting for them to step up since your rally-miata build, i already expected them to pop out on the eclipse build but better late than never, this makes me happy, props man 🙌
Thanks homie! I'm definitely excited!
@@_Gingium_ j series accords are fun i picked mine up almost a year ago now for $900 and it came supercharged with a 40lb shot of nitrous i used it as my drag car for the past couple of months and now I just pulled the motor out of it this morning to put it in my dune buggy
Vibrant is so giving to builders.
My first build when I was 20, vibrant sponsored my entire exhaust and I was a nobody.
1994 civic DX
1998 d16y8 head
1998 d16y7 bottom end
JE pistons
Eagle H beam rods
And a 69mm compressor
Vibrant provided me with a 3" stainless steel exhaust that went from the turbo to the muffler.
They provided me with a muffler as well😩 miss that car
Now I'm even more of a nobody 😂
The mountain bike segment isn't something i ever thought I'd find myself watching, but you definitely did a great job explaining and keeping it entertaining. Idk if I'd go out of my way to watch full videos of it, but at the end of a build video is a great idea and I'll definitely stick around for it if you decide to do more!
Perfect! That was exactly my goal!
Damn bruh had us waiting forever 😂😂 I need more of the honda
Haha sorry about that
Facts
he has a life bruh, and he isn’t obligated to make any of this for us so be thankful
@@_Gingium_you’re forgiven lol
@@pob_cardude chill it’s jokes
Well done! Several very smart choices. The Turbo bracket so you don’t crack pipes. The wastegate feed coming in with the direction of airflow so it doesn’t boost creep. And the flex pipe for movement. Well thought out Gingium 🎉
58 year old life long cyclist with multiple bike types. When I first started following your site, you were young and just started working on Molly in parents garage. I rode one of my mtb more than anything. But I was slightly interested in buying a Miata. I slowly changed to riding my road bikes again and then bought my Miata. Still love bikes and ride, but my Miata and car content is the thing I pay more attention to these days. Glad your mixing my old love in with new which you help push me into.
I love that a ginger kid on yt got you into miata's.
@@StanleyKubick1 along with Miata Dad aka Greg and Quinn from Slip Angle. Course Miata Dad is only one dropping pure Miata content.
Holy crap dude HUGE congrats on the Vibrant sponsor! They make some top notch stuff! I fully expect an overuse of their HD clamps soon! 😅❤ Hopefully using their stuff for my EP3 turbo build this winter
Edit: I spent a couple grand on a mountain bike last year and still haven’t gotten around to riding it much 😅 thanks for the reminder
It be like that just find a spot you like and you'll go
take it out in the fall. autumn trail rides can be so fun. a little mud and yellow leaves is always a vibe. I used to always go to the trails alone, but quickly found a couple of bros my age who were also solo, and now we go together once or twice a month during the season
The mountain bike content is fun, I like it at the end of the video
Yeah I think it's cool and something different. Keep it at the end, those who don't want to watch it can just stop the video there, it doesn't take away from the car content.
AND meaby start a bike Chanel too
Man, I had a 2001 Accord (CG1) sedan that had a J30A1 amd an auto. The auto trans lost reverse, so I yanked the entire swap, put in a JDM J32A (260 HP), a 2003 Acura CL Type-S close ratio LSD six speed manual, an Exedy clutch and flywheel, installed custom made ARP head studs, MLS Cometic head gaskets, Injector Nation 1000cc injectors, an AEM 340 LPH fuel pump, a set of cheap eBay headers, and I fabricated a collector pipe with a T3 flange, installed a Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo with a billet compressor wheel, a full 3" stainless downpipe to an Invidia single in/dual muffler exhaust, an AEM Series II 30-6051 standalone ECU, and my buddy street tuned it on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It made 502 whp at 10 psi. I LOVED that car. It would spin both front tires in 3rd gear when it hit full boost (225/40/17s). Also, P2R saved my ass MANY times with their awesome J series products. I bought my injectors, my custom made ARP head studs, my Holley intake manifold with a Skunk2 90mm throttle body, and quite a few more parts from them.
What car did you get the jdm j32a from?
how’d you tune it do you have a stand alone
The best part of my Sunday is always watching Gingium 😎
Edit: The mountain biking segment was more entertaining than I expected! Wouldn't mind watching some more of these at the end of the auto build videos.
29:53 you can see some paper tag or leaf or something on the shock tower just get sucked right into the intake lol, and love the MTB content.
Was looking for a comment before I mentioned it lbs
Dude you have made so much progress improving on the bike since last time you filmed yourself riding. Also I have to add that in my opinion, dirt bikes are the cheapest way to feel like a racing driver lol.
And not super difficult to transport or work on either!
@@cgiunta630 yep and he would have a ton of fun modifying it since the aftermarket is massive.
Honestly, if you started incorporating bike videos as a mix between your car videos, I'd be real happy. That last segment with the bike was sick, and makes me wanna go out
Beautifully done 😎
Man I remember when you couldn’t or could hardly install a turbo kit, now you’re building most things yourself. 💪🏻
You have pretty much given me a course on building a turbo for a V6. Thank you very much. Love the craftsmanship of your projects.
Just changed the clutch and flywheel today in my '13 civic si after the clutch splines sheered off, you helped me love cars, thanks for being here and doing all this work for all this time!
That exhaust is a piece of art ❤👍🏻
Thank you 😊
13:19 "Oh and now she comes, beautiful." Not even a second later, "Oh wait, did I speak too soon?" My brother from another mother 😂
real
You can tap into the presssure sensor off of the oil pump BEHIND the vtec solenoid. That's what I did. Saves you the hassle of the oil filter adapter, and not finding the right thread pitch. If you have any other questions, let me know and I can help you out.
P.S That green connector is for vtec, if you tapped into that your vtec would go out of whack. (Ask me how I know aha)
Oh interesting! Welp, this works now
That’s where mine was on my K24 as well but I changed to a sandwhich plate because I had a wild setup of adaptors to fit three plugs back there
@@_Gingium_ Agreed, the kit looks amazing though! Good work. I don't know if you saw my previous post, but make sure to be gentle with her. I blew my first j30 up with the stock rings colliding and blowing the ringland apart. I was only on 7 pounds of boost aswell.
dude I love this mountain bike era of Gingium, you definitely seem much happier and I'm enjoying the content. Don't stop!
Man, its always nice to see another carguy who likes bikes too!
Respect for your Accord! I finally got my hands on my second one & I’m definitely not letting this one go! I was on P2R & couldn’t help but notice they have your turbo setup posted as an example for their manifold starter ✊🏽
Love the mountain bike content. I got into mountain biking like 12 or 14 years ago when I was between project cars. It really does cover/satisfy all the aspects of being a car enthusiast when you don't have a project to work on. But just know, it can still be expensive.
Been watching for years, just got a welder for free and I have a mini truck to play with. Seeing where you started to now is amazing dude. Keep it up definitely motivating to see you continue to grow and learn.
people tend to forget caleb is doing all of this on his own, its incredible how much content he pushes
That car needs awd asap !!! Would love to see it happen and i think its a great challenge for you !!!
I don’t know what’s more sick, the editing & presentation or the fully custom turbo fabrication🤯 hats off my dude👏
Clean fabrication. Sick bike!! That trail looks fun
Yeah it’s pretty decent!
Congrats on the sponser!
Pro tip for that style of wastegate. Put loctite on it. We have aeen them back off over time and then boom pops apart.
Heck even happened to kyle from boostedbois on the mr2
I love the turbo kit, it looks so awesome! And adding the mountain biking stuff at the end is a great idea! I'm here for all the content, don't care what it is, but this video has a bit of everything and I am WITH it. Love the video man!
Love the MB section at the end. Makes me want to get the bike out and get back in the woods. Keep up the great work, buddy!
this is my first video of yours that i've watched and have to say that your video, build, and explanations are clean af! subscribed after this....and the mountain biking piece is a nice way to get others that would never give it a chance to see why you love it when compared to car performance and healthy living.
Wow, that exhaust work is super nice!!!
Literally Sunday (the day this video was posted) my buddy and I tore the intake manifold and valve covers off of his 08 Accord with a J35Z3 (6mt) to inspect the valve train and do a comp test after he ran into issues on the way back from a longish road trip. Cyl 2 came back at 60psi. I told him it's time to do a motor rebuild and turbo kit. Then this video comes out the same day? It's a sign. 👌
You’re hands down most underrated car UA-camr
Pretty sure you just fabricated the best turbo set up for this car, won't be surprised if many others start copying this
Dig the MTB content. Come out to SLC and ride Wasatch Crest. One of the most iconic rides in the country.
Did it this summer, it’s so good
Dude love the mtn segment to close things out, the analogies to car stuff really hits imo. I’m not a mountain biker or anything but I’ve watched plenty of crazy reels and that was a fun watch 🤙
Wow man, it's such a pleasure warching you work on cars, the video is very well edited and your fab skills are up there. Congrats!! Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
Love the accord content, and was stoked to see some biking content also! As a fellow car enthusiast and mtn bikes enthusiast, keep it up on both! Shift and shred 🤘😎
Damn, my two favorite current car builds on youtube dropped vids today. (Smeedia and Gingium). Hell yeah!
Love the incorporation of mountain biking!!! It really is a smooth transition from a car enthusiast. Would love to see more!!
I have a 2005 6mt maxima with a HR swap. I wish adding a turbo was as easy as you make it look!
watching it come together is so satisfying, nice to learn more things for my setup
Bro this is the best video I’ve ever seen you produce. Loved the build vid.
You deserve way more views!
its cause hes claiming he has a underrated vehicle when he dosent, hes literally driving the MK4 supra of accords and claiming its "not what everyone says it is" when the whole Accord community calls the 6-6 accord (v6, 6sp manual) good, though the gearbox is slushy even with manual, if he had a 90s Accord he would be right in the 'underrated' category, and thats why i dont watch these

Nice MTB trail! Looked really fun!
Good angle on the camera for catching the excitement of the ride.
Turbo kit fabrication turned out beautiful more than worth the wait lol
Keep up on all the content man, cars and bikes. Youre explanations and joy for it are worth the watch 🙌
Super clean build, nice work.. whoever gave you thumbs down is just a hater.. video is perfect.
Man this video's really inspiring me to build a kit for my 4th gen tl. I like the way the jpipe is routed for the turbo as the 4th gen tl is very tight around the transmission area as well
you know its a good day when gingium uploads
This is an awesome project! If I may suggest the best tool for cutting metal pipes so insanely straight, you won't even need filler wire. Wen 5" horizontal bandsaw. It's so straight, I've cut an entire weld bead in half. You can also get perfect angles, and holds much better than a chop saw.
man, all the work and fabrication that had to be put into that kit is crazy. your skills are underrated dude. ive been thinking about slapping a turbo on my sentra se-r spec v but this video made me scared to do it because of all that work 😭😭. good luck with the build bro
Dude you are a G at fabricating !!!! 😮
Really cool to see this whole process and you used my fave kinda music!! Good stuff all around!! This is one of my fave engines!
I am happy you take your time to create quality content for us rather than compromising just to push something out it is noticed and appreciated keep up the good work
i enjoy the mountain bike segment at the end, it makes a nice round off to the vid ! :)
Have the same car man love the build series. Always nice seeing someone do a dream build with a ton of sponsors🙏🏼
That's most exciting project video that I've ever saw! Here in Brazil, most of the Gearheads dont have courage to take that kind of project, just because of the difficult... a doubt that I have, and if you turn the turbocharger for the other side, making the downpipe near the fire wall, using the original scape exit? Maybe opening space to an intecooler?
Hey, in a pinch you can use solar flux instead of back purging. I used it in my turbo kit and it shielded the backside of the welds really well. Just have some cleanup afterwards because there’s loose flux inside the pipe.
Well done, good skillset and quality video editing, love to watch this build!
Well thought out clean fab work with vibrant now on board, peak times. Also the biking content is pretty sick!
Brother you are just an artist now. Been watching you for years. Good job.
Hey Caleb, glad to see more mtb content again. I’ve been watching you since FM7 built or bought, lol. I also have been a bike mechanic in 6 different shops during high school/ college, so if you have any questions or need and recommendations on parts, repair tips, etc let me know.
Love the mtb content, I'm a mountain biker and car enthusiast too. If I could offer any advice it would be, maybe look into a longer dropper post so you can get the saddle a bit lower. That will feel much better for jumps and downhill sections. I note that the seat tube is rather short before it bends so you may be limited on how long you can go with the dropper post. Cheers dude!
I can say mountain biking is very fun, specially as someone who enjoys car or chases the adrenaline you get from speed and risking your body, mountain biking is a great way to get this same high. Wanting to get some suction bike mounts to mount mine on my Camaro. Would look dope for sure pulling up to the trails
Awesome stuff man. Great job, great content. Big fan.
I thought it was weird but thank God I kept watching and you explained it perfectly. I actually like that!
whether it's car, fabrication, or mountain bike, i'm all for it man 🍻
I don’t mtn bike but I enjoyed the content at the end. Looked like fun. I appreciate learning about new things.
Been checking daily for every one of these new seventh gen accord videos cool to see someone build the car properly and how similar the build is to mine aside from the boost
21:40 Shoutouts to the company that fulfilled with great service, and bro just buys normally, that’s how you form a positive relationship right there
I'm enjoying the bike content in addition to the car content. IMO keep it coming!
this is like one of my favorite channels and now ur featuring bike content which is another one of my fav activities great job dude
Wish i had a friend like this that just truly enjoyed this kind of thing. Id love to help and gain knowledge and gain skills along the way.
I love the content, not sure if you're aware but that tailpipe expander kit you got works with the hydraulic knockout kit.
Then you won't have to use an impact to expand the pipe. I've stretched 2.5 16ga ss to fit the I.D. of a 3inch header collector on a friend's ls swap we did.
You'll wish you put the two tools together sooner.
Just had another thought. Have you ever looked into stainless steel "donuts" they are very tight radius and can be cut up however you want. I keep 1 or 2 around for random projects to help eliminate additional time doing pie cuts.
R&L carriers! Haha probably arrived a week late!
Finally he back purges his welds! You should try cerakote on all these pieces for heat management
I only watched the mountainbike content. You have improved!
Always so in awe at the amount of skill you have. I wish i was even at 5% of what you can do to work on my daily...
just don't stop doing it, I was in the same spot a few years ago and I'm finishing my swap now
Really nice video ! I loved the music choice too
Love watching your videos man, stands out all cause it’s mainly just you and pure fabrication. You’re awesome man, keep up the Good work !
All car enthusiasts will mod everything they touch, bikes being one of those things lol
Wow Gingium! I can’t believe how far you have come. Keep it up. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!!!
WAKE UP! Gingium just posted! 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Love the exhaust quality, that muffler looks great too. Might have to try to find one for my fa5!
Hey Caleb. I’m late to the party here but this is the first time that be seen any bike content from you. It’s great. Worthy of a second channel perhaps?
Hondas 3.0 and the 3.5 honestly were the best motors v6 wise they ever built I had the 3.5 in a 2nd gen pilot and got that thing to 350 all wheel horsepower without a tirbo
Awesome turbo kit and epic mountain biking. I'm all for this type of content
The build turns out great, and the biking looks really fun! I liked everything including the last section, probably because I'm into biking myself aswell :)
Look up "removing metal from eyes" .. after that you'll always wear glasses when under your car.
Amazing videos as usual ❤
Love the bike content! Cant wait to see you building jumps next
Loving the longer videos. Its always a tease when you start getting to the good part and i gotta wait.
That low hanging down pipe does worry me a bit considering you enjlowthe car a bit low. But i still enjoy all the honda love
😮 those welds are looking good.
oh dude what a great collab, i can only imagine the things you’ll make happen going forward
Your fabs skills have improved buddy that exhaust is beautiful
Thank you 😊
its impressive how much of this you do by yourself.
Amazing work that system looks really cool imo
