You guys should do a one off video about your camera/equipment/editing setup. Your quality has greatly improved over the last few years and I think it would be interesting to see what you're workin' with.
Love the attention to detail on your builds and I think you guys have great taste when it comes to the looks and styling of your cars and engine bays. Really clean and neat finishes.
I dunno Dave, I think Pete is sabotaging the Supra build. Too many jokes about how tough it is to work on the RB. Seriously though these two cars are gonna be monsters! Really enjoying these builds.
Changing the blacks in thr engine bay to all satin will help immensely. Plus that red definitely should either match or be a different color. Currently it doesn't look intentional.
Great progress! You may want to fab up a little sheet metal ducting to that oil cooler. Doesn't look like great flow with the back of it blocked by the washer bottle, and the path through the fog opening leaves a lot of space for air to get around the cooler rather than through it. I assume you'll run some sort of underpanel below the bumper too? Ducting was always one of those things that I felt like separated a "pro" quality build from a more standard.
Thanks for clarifying about heat dissipating coating. That was a novelty for me. Now I will be able to sleep well knowing that your intercooler will be cool indeed.
not sure if things changed, but I've read in my book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell that the limit for proper oil draining is a 15° angle. Oil coolers can also be mounted parallel to the ground if a simple, but small duct is used. Good video guys 💪
Man that black satin finish on the charge pipe looks amazing, you should change the black on the valve cover to that black satin. The black gloss doesn't look good on an engine plus it looks terrible when it gets dirty, at least with the satin, it's less noticeable.
I would suggest a heat shield on the down pipe, after the flexi section to protect the gearbox. A simple alloy or steel curved section of sheet metal fitted to either the down pie it self or bolted to the gearbox, which ever is easiest, it will cut down the radiant heat from cooking the gearbox oil.
Love the thought, time and effort that go into your builds - and that you're not afraid to change your minds when you learn something new or just aren't happy with how something has worked out. As for the angled oil cooler... If angled cooling assemblies are good enough for formula one, they're good enough for a Supra! 😁 I'm a massive fan of wrinkle red cam covers (yes, Honda fanboy) but..m have to say I'm not loving the way it looks in that bay. A green would work well imo - match the tops of the coil suspension mounts AND green is complimentary colour to red anyway. But as always, your car, so whatever you guys like best!
Having followed the STI build, I am confident you guys will change the exhaust housing on the turbo back to the 1.01 very soon LOL. Glad to see its almost there
Guys, as always love how clean your builds end up. They're aspirational. If you're still trying to figure out what to do with the 350Z, can I suggest a HKS supercharger kit? Ideally with an engine rebuild, but stock bolt-on would still be great content. I haven't seen any decent channel cover an SC kit, and given the 350Z's popularity and relative affordability compared to the rest of the Japanese car market, I think there will be a tonne of interest on how to push HP on these cars.
Hey I really recommend doing some VHT high temp paint on your turbo exhaust housing it will keep it from rusting. I did it to my brz and turbo has been run all summer and still looks fresh! You have to oven bake it but highly recommend it
I have my doubts that only one of those oil coolers will be enough for good oil temps on track...for reference I have 2 of those size coolers on my c6 z06 making around 625whp NA, which I think you will be above, mounted in the fog light area like you did and my oil temps get up to the upper 270s on a 20 min session in hot weather.
I've watched a lot of these videos and seen the pics with the turbo on it and reference to response etc, but none of the videos I've seen at least mention what the turbo on it - feels like it should be mentioned occasionally as some will have started watching part way through and not have the time/inclination to watch every single video right through. A .61a/r exhaust housing is VERY small for a 3litre if it's running anything smaller than a GT35/G35 size turbine.
There’s a technique for reducing lag that uses a jet of compressed air to spin the exducer wheel. I have only read about it so it would be interesting to see someone try it.
Can the turbo oil feed line run the other way, looping around the turbo towards the strut top/tower, so it keeps away from the manifold 🤷 Even with the insulating sleeve, the heat can make the PTFE braided line fail.
Ran POS B&M until it literally broke in 1/2 during a spirited shift! Never again! 👎. Then B&M wouldn’t stand behind it without the receipt! Installed C’s Short Shifter and love it! 👍🏼
Car looks like it's coming together great guys. Very curious to see how that rear housing behaves in the real world, response will surely be great but will it kill top end power? Can't wait to find out :)
G Series hate backpressure, it probably won't like the .61 on a cast manifold if you try to push tons of boost on ethanol, but atleast you have both for testing! Going to be sweet!
Those Catch Can lines look rough, looks like Kitchen Faucet Hose lol.... Right after, you guys acknowledged it, so I guess I'm not crazy... Black Nylon braid would look better for this build....
@@supersevenn built this 600hp supercharged engine myself, with heads that I ported, a camshaft I degreed, a 6 speed trans I overhauled, and runs on a Holley Terminator X that I tuned. But yes, clearly you're right 🤡.
Please use black lines on the catch can and have 90 degree fittings added to them too. They don't look right with how detailed you made the rest of the engine bay.
Hey guys I would put that GT-R back together with its OE bits asap and finish that Supra and get both sold before the market implodes. Don’t get left holding the bag when the bubble pops 👍
@@johnteahan2333 Yeah that’s true. Would be a good idea to sell at the current peaks though as it will be a long time before these prices are reached again
Hello dolls! The worst idea of this project is to align the oil feed line between turbo and exhaust manifold!!!! Do you know what temperature is rise on this place? For shure NoT!!!
My suggestion would be to ditch the mechanical radiator fan because they are proven to eat a lot of power and could impose a problem as far as responsiveness goes which is kind of ironic because that is the whole point of the build. An electric one would be much more efficient both powerwise and coolingwise and should not interfere with the engine's responsiveness. Worth the added hassle imo.
Actually electric is no better in cooling and I have yet to see a dyno chart of mech vs electrical so heresy is anecdotal whether it really robs any power
@@speedacademy Actually, engine masters on motortrend had done dyno testing on this subject quite some time ago on episode 20. The results speak for themselves if you want to check it out. It has been a long time since I had the opportunity to watch a series from motortrend in my region so don't credit me for this but I am pretty sure the answer is that mechanical fans do rob more power than you think. Appreciate your response, big fan here keep up the top work👌😁
Just to let you know, that TRD gearbox mount is going to be awful in a street car if you hate vibrations and noises. It's very firm which is good for racing, but on the road you will hear and feel most of what your gearbox is doing. So just as a warning so you aren't suprised, much better to source an OEM non trd gearbox mount if you want it nice and smooth like factory.
Any concern around trapping air in the oil cooler with that orientation? Genuinely curious. I'm at a similar impasse with my build as far as an oil cooler in the driver's side.
eventhough you guys build cars for 40 year old dads, the catch can & hoses do make it a little race car-ish look. and that's ALWAYS better! lookin good boys
Attention to detail, exotic coatings, street cred... all these things make DP's beard worth the watch! Also, very nice job on the Supra!
You guys should do a one off video about your camera/equipment/editing setup. Your quality has greatly improved over the last few years and I think it would be interesting to see what you're workin' with.
I have a few easy steps to fix the satin valve cover
1. install hood
2. close hood
3. drive car
4. forget your worries :D
Agree, drive the car, these aren't garage queens you're focusing on the wrong details.
Man you guys are killing it with these JDM legends videos! Keep up the great work DP and PT
Love the attention to detail on your builds and I think you guys have great taste when it comes to the looks and styling of your cars and engine bays. Really clean and neat finishes.
I dunno Dave, I think Pete is sabotaging the Supra build. Too many jokes about how tough it is to work on the RB.
Seriously though these two cars are gonna be monsters! Really enjoying these builds.
Pete was giving your Supra the finger at 18:24, are you going to take that Dave????
Love the attention to detail on your builds!

I liked that blue one, but this is another level. Bay looks really good with all the components being used. Exhaust system is beautiful.
I think those lines to the catch can are great! Kinda makes you follow it and shows where the catch can is.
Love it too! Just need to swap the line order at the can.
Take your time boys! These are legendary builds and the attention to detail is well worth a few more episodes!
and you did it again! awesome episode! cant wait for it to rip! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not forget the EVO 6....so want to see it run again.
"takes so long"..... I've been doing body work for like 8 months now. Your builds are mach speed compared to the home builder 👌
Agreed, I've been on a project for the past 18 months now. Probably another 6 months until complete

I think the bracket you made is absolutely brilliant…
The supra is coming along nicely!
I appreciate the clearing up of the heat transfer coating conundrum I had previously, DP! Great video mates!! Cheers
its crazy hearing you guy talk about a place I went to when I was doing my turbo build
Man that black satin finish on the charge pipe looks amazing, you should change the black on the valve cover to that black satin. The black gloss doesn't look good on an engine plus it looks terrible when it gets dirty, at least with the satin, it's less noticeable.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we get to see it rip the streets this year!
Just use that dei black heat wrap on your catch can lines. Easy way to make black lines if you wanted to.
Good choice on the freed catch can! I am going to do that on my single turbo Supra as well!
Congrats on all the progress on the channel. Love watching these videos.
You should check the documentation on your barb hose ends. Some brands don't recommend clamps as they can cut into the hose and cause leaks.
Thank goodness you had those parts powdercoated. The OCD of this channel makes me so happy.
I would suggest a heat shield on the down pipe, after the flexi section to protect the gearbox. A simple alloy or steel curved section of sheet metal fitted to either the down pie it self or bolted to the gearbox, which ever is easiest, it will cut down the radiant heat from cooking the gearbox oil.
Good stuff boys. Cant wait for start up!

Glad to see its almost there
Beautiful work!
Heck yea! It’s coming out great!!!
it has been raining like crazy lately. cheers from kingston ontario :)
Are you planning on building some ducting to the oil cooler? Can't hurt!
Gwt a cube speed short shifter or a short shifter i had one im my is300 manual felt amazing
you should do the valve covers over from red to either bronze or gun metal grey

You should name it the Responster, like a portmanteau of response monster.
Charles Jones, a hidden gem

The vband housing is stainless steel, rather than iron. It will not rust
Great video

Still waiting for the "fire this thing up" part .... You sure know how to strecht it and keep people wanting to see the next episode ....
You sure are entitled lmao. Go give em a helping hand then!
Hi Dave & Pete!
I had the exact problem mounting a PS cooler in that location. Ended up the same having it angled like that.
Powerhouse Racing sells a nice kit to relocate oil filter down by starter for convenience if the oem location bothers you guys enough
I have my doubts that only one of those oil coolers will be enough for good oil temps on track...for reference I have 2 of those size coolers on my c6 z06 making around 625whp NA, which I think you will be above, mounted in the fog light area like you did and my oil temps get up to the upper 270s on a 20 min session in hot weather.

Test fit the headlight with that oil cooler installed. You will probably have to lower the cooler more to fit
Negative, fits with room to spare
There’s a technique for reducing lag that uses a jet of compressed air to spin the exducer wheel.
I have only read about it so it would be interesting to see someone try it.
The music cut/loop during the charge pipe install killed my OCD lmaooo
This build is so proper.👌
Is the STI Killer Evo coming back?🤔
Pro tip: Soaking the Fiberglas wrap prior to applying makes for a tighter wrap and just an easier job all together.
The titanium wrap is not fiberglass and is far less shitty to use, there's no need to wet it.
Love the Mk4 Supra best JDM EVER

the error is usually the user. if you screwed up exhaust wrap please just step away from any vehicle whatsoever lol

15:00 I've used RTX voice to clean up the audio, check it out if you ever need to clean up nasty audio recording or a nasty audio in a video.
What type of racing are you building the Supra and GTR for? Drag/road course/time attack/etc
Hey guys I would put that GT-R back together with its OE bits asap and finish that Supra and get both sold before the market implodes. Don’t get left holding the bag when the bubble pops 👍
They bought both before the market went too mad, and market for Supra and R34 will never drop too far
@@johnteahan2333 Yeah that’s true. Would be a good idea to sell at the current peaks though as it will be a long time before these prices are reached again
does the turbo have the OE style support attached to it yet?
Was it a scratch or a mark?
If it was a mark a light rub with a scotch pad over the whole tube would hide any marks.
It seems you left the stock oil cooler and added that other cooler? 🤔
It needs a shorter intake tube and bigger filter...Looks weird with the the long tube and short filter
turbo at 15 degrees makes for better coolant flow
Did Tial ever change their wastegate coatings? My black MVR faded to a bronze color after about 2 months of use.
Why did the IAT sensor go on the pre-intercooler side?
Post intercooler, cold side.
Why it is a bad thing to hard mount the oil cooler?
Vibration.
The vibration can eventually cause the mounts to fail and that can be catastrophic
Is it still necessary to wrap the downpipe when you have the cerakote? I was under the impression that stuff makes a big difference??
No but combing them helps even more.
@@speedacademy for sure. It would be interesting to know how much difference each makes?? Someone should measure it with a heat reading gun

No pressure pushes out any air rather quickly.
