Just an idea, I replaced my Oil pressure switch with the Dual Bosch sensor, Gives oil pressure and Temp, that way at least you can keep an eye on things for the oil cooler.
For the VR crank sensor, since you wired it in parallel, you'll want to downsize the resistor to make it attenuate the signal more. You can also wire it in series, in which case you'll want to increase its resistance.
You've got 3 project cars in your garage! Most guys with midlife crises only have one half-finished car. But that means 3x the superfastmatt to watch so its cool

So many quotes for new shirts in this one. "I did it anyway because I like to have FUN. "Seems Sketchy but it works" front "that is pretty much how I live my life" back I so may more.
For missing connectors, get some insulated spade connectors of the right size. Use a thin coat of Vaseline or silicone brake lubricant in the sensor hole, install the spade connectors then form a connector shape out of some tape. Now pour in some Dow Corning 733 silicone or G2 flexible epoxy to make yourself a handy DIY connector. Do let it properly cure first. G2 takes 3 days.

Dear Matt, I just saw this video, having watched about 50 of your videos, and the fact that you said "turned" rather than "lathed" got you a thumbs up and a bell
First time I ever saw Matt was back when I used to watch Jay Leno's garage religiously, twas 6 years ago, was probably the only "half-assed hoopty" on his channel but he LOVED it. P.S. I'm not calling his car a half-assed hoopty but compared to the perfectly polished builds Jay usually featured, Matt's s600 was basically a highly engineered turd.
Randomly came across this channel recently and I've been binging ever since. I love the engineering technicals coupled with the "fuck it I'm lazy" methods. Plus your narration is on point. Gimme more!
I had a similar issue on my Honda motorcycle when I changed the CDI. Mine is an old CBR400RR so may be different but idk. Turns out there's a speed sensor wire which needs a voltage or else the bike thinks it's doing 112mph all the time and cuts the ignition at around 6000rpm. I spliced a live wire into it and it worked. Don't know if this is a similar issue to what you're having but might be worth a look.
The algorithm didn't like my longer comment. I believe the connector for the speed sensor is a Sumitomo HX series, 3 position, top rib, likely 090" pins. It's very cheap and no harness needed.
Probably someone has already commented but if that isn't the case, the three yellow wires from the rectifier come from a star or delta configuration where either way you connect them you'll get the same output. I had the same question when building my first wiring on a bike and marked everything so I wouldn't mix them only to later find out it didn't matter.
Never stop doing what you're doing Matt! Your videos are the highlight of my week and always makes me smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside, just like what I imagine a a grilled marshmallow feels like.
those three yellow wires have no order, they're three phase power from the stator and go more or less straight into a bridge rectifier in the reg/rect to be turned into DC
@@SuperfastMatt , almost all bikes have either 2 or 3 wires from the stator to the regulator / rectifier, and generally the same colour as the6 are interchangeable. Some bikes just have separate spade connectors on the wires rather than a connector block.
Don't have anything smart to smart so I'll just feed the algorithm some engagement, keep up the great work, absolutely adore the content and all hail the algorithm!
In the voltage rectifyer because the AC voltage is filtered through the diodes and the diodes are all going the same direction I wouldn’t assume there would be any issue with how ever it gets hooked up.
i just recently found out what a coolant bypass is since im removing the factory pump assembly and going to a complete custom setup. the fact that you brushed over it like nothing made me giggle since 90% of the rest of car guys probably have NO CLUE why you even mentioned it. You make everything look so easy!
It doesn't really matter in what order the three yellow wires from the stator to the regulator are connected. A common fix on older Hondas (and a lot of other bikes too) is the "3 yellow wire fix" where the connectors are cut off and the wires soldered directly together. The connectors there are a common failure point, they melt and burn due to corrosion from not being as watertight as they should be. Another fairly common thing is to replace the stock regulator with something like a Shindengen FH020AA or SH847 as they run cooler, can handle higher loads, have watertight connectors and just perform better and more reliably overall.
@@billh230 funnily enough, they've recently popped up in my recommendations. I'm currently starting my Triumph project, MKIV Spitfire with a Sigma 1.7 engine - nothing too crazy, aiming for 150bhp with low maintenance and fuel consumption so I can use it daily!
If anyone doubts that your chain hoist attached to your garage rafters is a bad idea, I have a worse one. Back around 1972, I put a 327 small block Chevy V8 into my Mum's 1963 Chevy II wagon. I did almost exactly what you did but the 2x4 supports were just an afterthought. And I only used one. I put that that engine in and took it out far too many times. So many in fact that I could do it by myself in just a few minutes. The tranny was attached and I got the angle just about right until the engine was most of the way in at which time I'd stand with one foot on the front bumper and the other on the top of the crank pulley to lift the rear of the tranny up a bit to land it on top of its mount. 50 years later I'm still here. So, maybe your hoist wasn't such a bad idea after all Matt.
I seem to buy and then sell an engine crane every few years when I need one. I did end up holding on to the most recent one as my garage is currently so packed with crap it doesn't meaningfully impact its lack of space. #logic Rafter-winch-hoist works as long as you can roll the vehicle out from under it!
"Fat guys" when i was a kid, a motorcycle went by with a big guy on it. It was making a metallic whooshing noise. My dad said, "that guy's chain is stretched out". I never forgot that lol i always listened for it after that, and actually hear it out in the wild still.
Yeah, done that with the mass of the welder going through a braided hose! Does cause some fires🔥, but as long as you do the welding outside, you don't die🤪 (too much).
The oil pressure tensor, use a extension, don’t bolt it directly to the engine, the vibration is going to kill the sensor. We do that for Hayabusa engine
Original Toshiba headlights circa late 60's are rare as hen's teeth. I bagged mine and run modern Sylvania halogens for daily driving. Brighter, too. Mount the old ones for show only.
I recently pulled a 4 cylinder 3 liter solid iron boat motor out by a rafter. So your bike engine isn’t even close to sketchy! SN: it held just fine but it was way harder than just buying a lift, which is what I did to put the motor back in.
I can across this by accident, what a find , love this so much , wish I was younger, I had more money then but , I'd love to have something like this , great work keep it up!!!
Looks like some Mad Max engineering for the guy that dies before the opening credits start in a spectacular fire caused by a big rig with huge spiked wheels.
The whole concept is cool and the way you achieve things, The crazy thing is how much people spend to have hand clutches etc installed if you have a disability .....its all about the fun :)
You should install a quick shifter with downshift blipper, and then you can forget about the clutch except when coming to a stop. My last two track bikes have had them and I'll never go back.
You have an exposed wire in circuit with the ignition/efi system that's shorting to ground when you take off, or the circuit has a fault that's effected when the engine flexes under load.
This thing is badass. The shifter being sideways issue would've prompted me into making some push-pull paddle shifters and probably a foot clutch. Aside from that the only ways I can see to "perfect" this build further would be some Enkei RPF1's and maybe some light supercharging or a Busa motor for torque. Or both. Maybe get the body sorted, too. Oh, lastly, get a quick-shifter and auto-blipper going. THAT will absolutely make your day when driving hard.
I'm rewatching this video because I have dreams of a ducati V4 power Porsche 912, the big questions I have are all ECU related. It seems like people tend to reuse the electronics from the donor but I would want to keep those beautiful porsche gauges.
That's hilarious! I just swapped the engine in my car about 6 weeks ago and I did the exact same thing with the hoist in the rafters from Harbor freight. Only thing that kinda sucked was pushing the car out after the old engine was pulled but not a big deal at all.
Since Motus died, the engine is a dead end. It's also expensive, and would require modification to run the crank horizontal (it's tilted substantially in the bike). It is short, which would be good for some specific installations (I looked at it for our Spitfire), and there is least one car using one: a replica of a 1958 F1 race car by Race Car Replicas of Fraser, Michigan.
@@microbuilder It's not unusually powerful for a motorcycle engine of its displacement, but it does have unusual features (the V4 configuration with separate transmission, height kept down by pushrod valvetrain...) that make it appealing for some specific applications.
@@microbuilder although the Motus motorcycle is gone, a website for the engine is still up, so maybe it's still in production, or at least supported. Check out "americanv4" (web links not allowed in comments in this UA-cam channel) It appears that to make the engine usable in retrofits of other vehicles such as Polaris UTVs, they have also made it much easier to use in a car.
PS, I'm curious as to why you had some steel parts laser cut if you already had a "CNC machine". You didn't say whether it was a mill or a router but I'm guessing it's a router. I also have one and I do cut steel occasionally. Turn the RPM's down to about 10,000, use a 1/16" end mill, take very shallow cuts, and feed fairly slowly. And keep it wet with either oil or WD40. If you want the exact settings, I can go look them up for you.
the welding through a fuel line and brake line is great. "if i can do this without dying anyone can build a car"

Motorcycle charging systems (on remotely modern streetbikes) are 3 phase and order of the phases doesn't matter.
What a mighty pork sword at 7:10!

Found you through Life of Pelos. I’m absolutely falling in love with this channel. Can’t wait to catch up on your videos. Stay you. Be well.
PS, I'm curious as to why you had some steel parts laser cut if you already had a "CNC machine". You didn't say whether it was a mill or a router but I'm guessing it's a router. I also have one and I do cut steel occasionally. Turn the RPM's down to about 10,000, use a 1/16" end mill, take very shallow cuts, and feed fairly slowly. And keep it wet with either oil or WD40. If you want the exact settings, I can go look them up for you.
