With all the stock metal gone, it would be pretty easy to convert to s-chassis or e36/46 front suspension which would save him a TON of time engineering a kit for a chassis that is far from drift ready lol
well truth be told. the charger i think came with a slant 6 as an option. so its not far off stuffing a 2jz into it cause the slant 6 has already been boosted alot
KSR did a great video explaining how that surge tank works when he put one on the vice grip garage chevelle. One day soon, take the charger to road atlanta or Atlanta Motorsports park in Dawsonville. Get some road course laps in!!
For all the muscle guys who don’t know about them and want to learn, here’s a tidbit on the jz. The jz started as a Yamaha designed 2.5 liter twin turbo engine, the 1jz non vvti. Then Yamaha again helped design the 1jz vvti which was a single turbo 2.5 with a better head(not as good as the 2j tho). Then Toyota took the Yamaha engineering on their own and made the 2j, which is why 1j blocks are stamped Yamaha and 2j’s are not. So the 2j gets pretty complex lol. It’s a 3.0 engine that came twin turbo or na regardless of which one you had. Basically you had 4 options for the 2j. Ge and gte(non turbo and turbo), then vvti and non vvti for each. For the gte, an oversimplification is that the non vvti was the performance standard for a long time because the aftermarket had problems controlling the vvti heads, other than that, they’re more or less the same. For the ge though, it’s a little more complicated. Early engines were non vvti, and had a distributor. The non vvti head flows better on one side but worse on the other, and the bottom end had the same rods as the gte, higher compression pistons, without oil squirters. Of the ge, this is the best stock bottom end to make power with, but the heads can pose a problem given the flow and distributor. The vvti ge has the weakest bottom end of them all. Skinny rods, weaker pistons, etc. however, the vvti ge head flows better on both sides and has the bonus of vvti and coil on plug ignition, making it the better head to build regardless of the bottom end. Basically for a budget setup with low hp goals, stock vvti ge, head gasket/studs, then run it(400-500 safety limit typically). For budget big power, non vvti ge bottom end and vvti head(600-700 safely usually), for no holds barred, whatever forged bottom end with a built and ported ge vvti head. All that Aside, I absolutely Love this car mike! Would be sick to see some sort of angle kit or something when you redo the suspension. Maybe convert it to like s-chassis or e36/46 front suspension? I doubt you’d do it but since all the factory metal is gone it would be rad, especially considering the aftermarket support for those chassis!
That car is probably 800lbs heavier than an S chassis, and they don't have particularly beefy front suspension as is, he'd probably trash even aftermarket control arms. Building strut towers and mounting points and getting the geometry right is probably way more work than he is willing to put into that junk anyway. Best bet is probably just getting it as close to not totally clapped out as possible with current type of setup. In the spirit of what Freiburger says; get it working, don't get it right. This car drives but that's about all you can say for it, getting the suspension to the other charger's standard would be bare minimum for getting it working.
@@vctrsone yes they made the heads, doesn’t change the fact 1j blocks are stamped Yamaha and 2j’s arent lol. They obviously had a hand with Toyota to design the whole 1j... it’s called CO-developed for a reason lol
Was just surfing Roadkill and watched the airport car episode. You rightly raised the Fosgene gas issue with Brake & Part cleaner. Adding several cleaning passes using high strength denatured alcohol will seriously lower that risk of that. Just thought you might like to know
Those Taurus electric 2 speed fans are legit, we have put them in our Hot Rods and Jeeps, Its a keeper, if it wasn't destroyed that is. Keep building Finn another great Vid!
Cousin Eddy!!! When Clark and Eddie are at the store and he throws the first load of dog food on the cart, then Clark grabs a package of light bulbs that immediately get smashed by more dog food is legendary!!!! The movie is a classic. You guys take care. Great job 👍
1UZs are weak sauce compared to a 2JZ. You try to boost and beat on one like they did this and it’ll be scrap fast. It is probably the second worst common modern V8, with the BMW M60 being the worst
@@yucannthahvitt not the first gen 1uz engines. They are twice as strong as the VVTI 1uz. The Australians and New Zealanders have been producing between 1000 and 2000 hp with them for years.
47:14 YEP! We used to wash our bikes and trucks real good after use, then coat them with WD-40 before storing. Next time out all the dust and dirt would wash off with ease. Dry and repeat for next time. Plus it keeps them looking like brand new.
for radiators, Ive been using the 2004-2007 silverado 2500 radiators. You can get them with a fan shroud and twin 16" electric fans. The setup is meant to cool a large truck with a 6.0l LS motor. For MOST of what I do, it is a good upgrade that never overheats
I think this is a perfect example of a car that has been to hell already, so there isn't a whole lot more that you could do that would make it worse - now it's just unique as hell and cool at the same time.
First off, this car is GREAT!! I wouldn't change much, if anything at all 😁 That said: The GTE is also oil squirted, you can drill the GE block for oil squirters (like the LS people do), and add con-rods = No longer a 500$ motor. Another goodie is Accusump so you can prime the oil before starting, and I personally CAN NOT stress holding the clutch in when starting, you'll save the heck out of the thrust bearings (on any motor). Some people go in expecting Toyota's to take it all without reservation = Not the case, then again, not my money 😂 That said, with my Toyota heritage squared (I love the things, sue me), don't get me wrong when I say I'm seeing major discrepancies here. Just what level of care is this, SWEATING while checking the oil filter on a "shitty" N/A 2J block, but blow up a Hemi every meet = No stress? 🤣
Gotta love Dave's first reaction to the Tuner/JDM life in a charger lol. They way his face lit up when the boost hit on the test drives makes me think he might start looking into something a little more up that alley 👀
Love this raw finnegans garage ! Like murder nova just doing stuff in the garage, you guys are actually doing stuff not just talking but you get it lol !
Finnigan you should really look up fireball tools channel. Alot of things, especially welding techniques, problems you have sometimes, he's solved. The guy is f ING genius. Cheers.
you know this wrankles so many feathers out there for the "purists!" i love it, because a 2J is a bonkers motor with a turbo strapped to it, even if its not the GTE.
Kevin Smith is very much a perfectionist. His cars are set up the exact same so he has everything he needs with the parts he has. Mullet, SoccerMom, The Lawn Dart. His wiring and sensors are clean and recording. He loves his data.
For the "puke tank", you have one outlet for each valve cover, so you can run a line to the other fitting instead of having the driver side valve cover venting straight to atmosphere as it is now.
I can tell you by experience putting the air cleaner inside the passenger compartment creates a crazy amount of noise. Just something to consider. For off road you would be better with a snorkel.
Perfect time to built an off road style charger the look on your face when you got to drive that truck with Brad was priceless great video guys stay safe
...added bonus with the intake in the cab, with a few good 'post taco night' farts...you get a little pure methane boosts...or any other gaseous items easily fired into the intake lol....
That car is amazing! I wish I could have watched the episode on motortrend but they stopped letting aussies watch!!! So sad!!! Thanks for sharing it on your channel. Can’t wait to see it rip!!
I have a drill and soldering iron that take that same battery, I like that tungsten sharpener alot. Once you have a shop setup that you like, work always improves. Thanks for sharing.
I love your content, cleaning wheels and glass always does more for a car than anything else. But please please tone down the treble on dry paper towel noise. With headphones on it made my teeth hurt. Bad frequency
Not too many tv shows I can honestly say I’ve seen every episode….roadkill FwF & now the UA-cam channel! I love the “this is what we got…what we could find or afford” since that’s what most of us have to do! That’s what keeps it interesting it’s actually relatable no infinite budget just blood sweat & tape keep it zip tie certified!
As a bonus of the interior intake. If the fuel pump shits the bed you can hose brake clean into the intake to move it around hahaha Also the surge tank does add complexity. It is however great for eliminating fuel slosh/ cut.
I would actually love to ride or drive this just to say I did I can't imagine how it performs it can't be that bad being that it prolly makes the same if not more power then the original motor
He said in the video it was making 600 or so, around 4 something to the wheels. Believe I heard him say that was about 200 more than the old engine so id say its definitely got the power. Id love to go for a ride in it as well
the 383 was making all of 320hp when they took it out. the turbo 2JZ is probably sitting at about 520hp at the crank if it's at 450wheel. Mike saying it's a 600hp motor means 600 is what it'll safely make with the current rods/pistons in the bottom end
Change the air fitting on the end to one the has a level that locks on instead of the screw that way you don’t loose air unscrewing it if not paying attention plus so much faster. That makes the air tool one of the best with out it it’s just ok good
I'm MUCH happier (and have more hours to do important sanctuary work) after I quit keeping my ancient Subaru Forester shiny and clean at all times. I love the way my car looks when clean and shiny (it looks amazing for 20 year old paint on a 350,000 mile car) but living on a dirt road, doing 30-35,000 miles a year on sanctuary business (I help run a sanctuary for special needs cats) it takes SO many hours to keep looking nice. So, clean wheels, wax then ceramic coat on the headlights, I'm happy.
“The connecting rods are the weak link, they break at 450 hp”. Literally one minute later… “It’s making 550 or 600 to the tires“… really testing those horsepower limits now, aren’t we?
Nah he said they break at 450-500 wheel(accurate) then said they made 6 on the dyno once and then proceeded to turn it down. He said it made 450 or so, which would make it a 600 crank hp engine
Good to actually see a Motec in something, I don't know if it's not mentioned or what, but it just seems like no one runs Motecs despite how big and how good they are, always heaps about haltech though, but I keep not hearing good things about them. M800 going in my wrx once I build the loom for it.
considering the power, responsiveness, and being on a cast manifold, the turbo is in the low/mid 6x mm range. probably 6266 or maybe a 6466. please do a sidepipe with a recirculated wastegate! that will sound much better
The Lexus GS300 in 1993 came with the turbo block non-turbo car they were very quick you might be able to pick one of those up cheap and get that upgraded block
What about running the exhaust over to the drinkers side and up over the windshield/door frame, and sommers off the roof? At least you'd be able to see and it seems cheaper than going down through the car? dunno, quite enjoying this episode FG, much fun and learnings :) Holy-hell, you could do a dual roof-top smoke-puffer!
You can weld a gas tank by filling it with the exhaust from a running car. Leave it running while you weld it. If it has baffles in the tank, all the compartments need to be filled with the exhaust.
I made it 2 years without the Rona. Went to visit family in CA. Came back and had it. But it was super mild. Nothing more than a stuffed up nose. Thanks for the laughs. And the death metal is looking amazing.
you should build an internal surge tank and put it inside of the big one, overflow just "leaks" into the big one and you will keep the benefits of the surge tank with less things to go wrong than with an extrenal :)
If you want to keep the cool patina on the bars but don't want to have to keep sanding them just sand them and brush them with Penetrol. It'll give a satin clear protectant on it
Inline Sixes are the best Engine configuration. I don't normally watch the Roadkill guys anymore because it's just the same old Merica Pig Iron, but this was a little different. Some V8s are cool and sound good like the new Mustang GT350s, but Im all about the old 80s & 90s BMWs. The M3 that had a V8 is something that I've been considering,but it just seems a little off even though it is the last NA engine which is cool.
Love the hour long vid the funniest part of the vid though was when newbern was climbing out of the car a the gas station u can hear him rip one n he non salauntly plays it off like he didn't just rip one lol 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude, i know youve got a pneumatic die grinder, you shouldve just went to harbor freight and bought the $12 diamond wheel kit. Save money and still have easy access right where youre welding to sharpening. Trust me, i tig 6 days a week professionally. If youre welding Ali, use a shallower angle, 30-25° and knock the tip off at the end. Dont forget to set an up and down slope, if your machine dosent have those options, use a foot pedal and turn your amps up just beyond what you think youll need. If youve got a good tig rig, just put the arc balance in auto.
I've always loved the roadkill cars cuz it show people you don't have to be rich to have cool cars and it's way more fun when you built it for no money and your not scared to mess it up

Definitely think deathmetal deserves better suspension/lots of steering angle and a nascar style side exit exhaust
boom tubes hell yeah
Definitely needs boom tubes
They would have to get it 100% straight first (which they could have when they built the tube chassis, if they had used a laser and level)
I say sod that, just roll with the theme of the car, and shorten the knuckles (gives more steering angle) if need be!
Yes for 2JZ Boom tubes.
the 2JZ will sound so much better with a sidepipe and recirculated wastegate. otherwise the wastegate is all you damn hear.
I LOVE this car/engine combo, it breaks through the norm and calls out all the uncultured self proclaimed "Car nuts", and pushes in the faces of those that think V8 is the only engine config ever made...it's good stuff!
By the way 1 hr long Finnegan episode has been well needed
Made my Sunday.

With all the stock metal gone, it would be pretty easy to convert to s-chassis or e36/46 front suspension which would save him a TON of time engineering a kit for a chassis that is far from drift ready lol

2jz makes death metal even more unique!
I hope this build keeps going forever and stays 2j, easily sickest and most original car in existence. Iconic
well truth be told. the charger i think came with a slant 6 as an option. so its not far off stuffing a 2jz into it cause the slant 6 has already been boosted alot
V8 duders wanna overlook that most famous american cars came with a straight 6 at some point. I6 is ultimately just as much of a tradition as a V8.
The ol leaning tower of power... Minus the power
@@CelicaDan the vortec 4200 and 4300 are often overlooked. those are nasty 6 banger engines
And in 2023 there making a straight 6 turbo
Shit dude that's epic
Man, I love this car. Build it, thrash it, fix it, and repeat.
I just bought a Skyline with a 2.5 liter RB25 inline-six. My daily driver is a '70 C10 with a 307 and quadrajet. I love both.
KSR did a great video explaining how that surge tank works when he put one on the vice grip garage chevelle. One day soon, take the charger to road atlanta or Atlanta Motorsports park in Dawsonville. Get some road course laps in!!
Finally a video longer than 5 minutes. Awesome show guys!
2JZ kicked over with out issue after all that abuse. Strong! 👍
That's awesome thinking, Dave. "Run coolant thru the frame to the trunk". Ingenuity
Kevin's face when boost hit 😳. I remember my first time riding in a fast boosted car too. It was my buddys 240sx with a RB20 single turbo
Rb20’s are rad lol. Not the torquiest engines but they sound so good and go like stink up top

Basically for a budget setup with low hp goals, stock vvti ge, head gasket/studs, then run it(400-500 safety limit typically). For budget big power, non vvti ge bottom end and vvti head(600-700 safely usually), for no holds barred, whatever forged bottom end with a built and ported ge vvti head.
All that Aside, I absolutely Love this car mike! Would be sick to see some sort of angle kit or something when you redo the suspension. Maybe convert it to like s-chassis or e36/46 front suspension?

Nah he said they break at 450-500 wheel(accurate) then said they made 6 on the dyno once and then proceeded to turn it down. He said it made 450 or so, which would make it a 600 crank hp engine
Absolutely love this car. The history, the look and the motor. Thank you for the baddassery Mr. Finnegan
Why only 360P no 1080?
maybe still uploading HD
Good to actually see a Motec in something, I don't know if it's not mentioned or what, but it just seems like no one runs Motecs despite how big and how good they are, always heaps about haltech though, but I keep not hearing good things about them. M800 going in my wrx once I build the loom for it.
Re upload it. It is stuck in the UA-cam 360p hell.
And here I thought it was just me.
Thanks.
considering the power, responsiveness, and being on a cast manifold, the turbo is in the low/mid 6x mm range. probably 6266 or maybe a 6466.
please do a sidepipe with a recirculated wastegate! that will sound much better
Sounds like an old farmall 300 tractor
The Lexus GS300 in 1993 came with the turbo block non-turbo car they were very quick you might be able to pick one of those up cheap and get that upgraded block
360p gang 😂
Same.
What about running the exhaust over to the drinkers side and up over the windshield/door frame, and sommers off the roof? At least you'd be able to see and it seems cheaper than going down through the car? dunno, quite enjoying this episode FG, much fun and learnings :) Holy-hell, you could do a dual roof-top smoke-puffer!
Anyone else stuck watching this at 360p?
Yeah, it's taking forever to render the higher resolutions (if it even has them)
You can weld a gas tank by filling it with the exhaust from a running car. Leave it running while you weld it. If it has baffles in the tank, all the compartments need to be filled with the exhaust.
I’m so early this is only in 360p
It's taking forever to render the higher resolutions.
Thanks!
holy cow! thank you Ashley! that is an amazing thank you.
Is it me because the video is playing in 360 instead of 1080?
Not just you.
Polished turd through and through all the way!
Yeah, VHS quality. Yuck. I thought it might by my computer but me new Roku Ultra did the same thing. 360p with no other options.
When that 2J spools up! Cool conversion, love the sound of that motor. :)
Hell YEAH !!
Wrong channel.
@@mikek5298 Then leave.
I got nothing but love for Ga! That's some beautiful country up in north Georgia, enjoy..
I made it 2 years without the Rona. Went to visit family in CA. Came back and had it. But it was super mild. Nothing more than a stuffed up nose. Thanks for the laughs. And the death metal is looking amazing.
you should build an internal surge tank and put it inside of the big one, overflow just "leaks" into the big one and you will keep the benefits of the surge tank with less things to go wrong than with an extrenal :)
I love the custom flat stock brackets used to keep the windshield from flying out hahaha attention to detail 👌👍🏻
the manual handle for a separate front brake Master Cylinder came in handy on a friends exhibition car. 3/4 track burnouts were no problem!
If you want to keep the cool patina on the bars but don't want to have to keep sanding them just sand them and brush them with Penetrol. It'll give a satin clear protectant on it
As you got rid of the flexi hoses, the cooling system will work just fine. I love this machine.
Your dog is the high point of my day. Good dog!
Can’t go wrong with a 2j or an rb greatest sound i6’s imo
Inline Sixes are the best Engine configuration. I don't normally watch the Roadkill guys anymore because it's just the same old Merica Pig Iron, but this was a little different. Some V8s are cool and sound good like the new Mustang GT350s, but Im all about the old 80s & 90s BMWs. The M3 that had a V8 is something that I've been considering,but it just seems a little off even though it is the last NA engine which is cool.
Also, peep that engine and jet drive installed on the Eliminator tunnel hull over there. Need an update episode.
When blowing air through a K&N filter, you should use an inverted criss cross pattern
My god what a machine. I have to see more of this diabolical creation.
Love the hour long vid the funniest part of the vid though was when newbern was climbing out of the car a the gas station u can hear him rip one n he non salauntly plays it off like he didn't just rip one lol 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude, i know youve got a pneumatic die grinder, you shouldve just went to harbor freight and bought the $12 diamond wheel kit. Save money and still have easy access right where youre welding to sharpening. Trust me, i tig 6 days a week professionally. If youre welding Ali, use a shallower angle, 30-25° and knock the tip off at the end. Dont forget to set an up and down slope, if your machine dosent have those options, use a foot pedal and turn your amps up just beyond what you think youll need. If youve got a good tig rig, just put the arc balance in auto.
I just sold my JZX90 Chaser with a straight piped 1JZ-GTE so hearing this thing with the big cams made me so happy!!
I've always loved the roadkill cars cuz it show people you don't have to be rich to have cool cars and it's way more fun when you built it for no money and your not scared to mess it up
