I Installed Something Wrong on my Big Block Twin Turbo Fairmont.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- After 20 dyno pulls, some of which being at 17 pounds of boost I am going to give my 454 a good health check by changing the oil, spark plugs, and checking the rocker arms to see if we hurt anything inside the engine. I also find something that I installed incorrectly!

WOOHOO bonus vid for the week🤣😁
Yep and another one coming soon
@@sleeperdude2690that’s why I always run speed masters roller rockers ( they are literally designed to be dummy proof for installing they are marked for what direction they face how they sit and what cylinder they are designed for
@@sleeperdude2690👀🙏🏼
Woohoo! Monday bonus... Love me some Sleeperdude!!! Good luck 🙏🙏🙏
Oh yeah and another one coming Thursday
@@sleeperdude2690Yay!!!
@@sleeperdude2690thanks. Helps with the new Dad break
nice to see a video of sleeperdude on a monday love it yessssss
One step forward, two steps back, the tuners credo 😊You'll get there, glad you found the rocker problem before it became a PROBLEM, good catch there Josh!
Thank you
you could make a temporary set of headers to come straight up out of the hood
just so you can see if your exhaust its truly causing the power loss
So glad you found that rocker problem that saved you a lot of money for WaWa’s new race car ( MAVERICK)
Nice bonus video from Sleeperdude !
Thank you
24:36 I really would love to see you and Ralph do a drag and drive. You know, like sick week. You two together, father and son working through the difficulties together...obviously it would be great with your whole troop but the rules don't allow for it....✌️👍🇬🇧
We would love too
Lot of driving for Josh. Wawa can drive, you know she’ll be racing soon.
@@mattdavis5078 Remember that Tom Stark ran those with his son Blayne when Blayne was about Ralphie's age. That has worked out fantastically for them. JS
I know it's frustrating at times, but that just makes the payoff at the end all the better. And the main thing is you're making great memories for your kids to look back on.
Thank you
YAY to the start of the week video...I needed this
Thank you
This has made my week!! Bonus video on the second channel. I could definitely get used to that!!!
Ok I got the perfect solution… take the big block Chevy out and put it in that Chevy II wagon theeeeeeen put a Godziller or Coyote in the fairmont. Problem solved. 😇
The coyote heads would probably be into the shock towers. Would be cool though
@@robwigglezz944they fit. There’s been quite a few people that have done the swap.
@@AircraftMechanic-APcustom subframe with coilovers gets you all the room you want.
But the stock front suspension(strut towers) definitely get in the way of a coyote. Along with the coyote costing 3x the price of a big block Chevy or Ford/small block/LS.....
Considering the original intention was a budget build, I still think he is on the right track. Just takes time to work out the gremlins
Hey Josh I've commented before I think measuring the back pressure in your exhaust will show you that it increases after 11lbs of Boost it could also be loading up for the same reason requiring all the extra timing I still think that you should either build a tube chassis front end or window
the inner front wheel wells and get yourself some exhaust flanges and build yourself a custom set of headers. C'mon Josh next level this Custom Fairmont of yours just so that I/we can come along for the ride I'm sure I won't be the only one watching and waiting
Coyote engines are always the answer cant go wrong there.
I Love how in the thumbnail it says
I think I messed up and a big red arrow pointing toward poor Ralphie.
Little Dude..I think Dad just threw you under the Bus...lol..
Yay, something good to watch when I get off work!!!!
Hope you enjoy
@@sleeperdude2690 Dude! I've enjoyed everything so far, even your commercials. That's a gimmie!
oooh nice a bonus 35 mins of fun. thank you guys 2x👍
Thank you
WOOHOO ...S L E E P E R D U D E..... Impeccable.... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was surprised as well to see the dyno #'s. I was fully expecting at least 725-750 pony powers. I think if you can get that exhaust opened up then Fairmont will come to life considerably. Can't put the air in if you're not moving it out. You'll figure it out Josh. You're too good at this not to.
Yes! I think so too
Saturdays are always special to me because of the weekly Sleeperdude video. It's always special to be a bonus. I'm a complete dunce when it comes to cars, but I do feel like I have learned a whole bunch from this channel.
You'll get it Josh! Just look how well it ran on the Dino on seven cylinders and a restrictive exhaust. Keep at it, I know you're on the right track!...
Constantly gaining knowledge!! 💪♥️😎 More power!!
I’m trying!
glad to hear Mike driving by ur place
Keep doing what you're doing. God bless you all and semper Fi
Thank you
@@sleeperdude2690 ur welcome
Wow, the video at the beginning of the week😁👍
You'll get it Josh. Great video!
Thank you!
What a great surprise I have had a hard day and then God smiled and said check the sleeperdude great day after all thanks I needed this
1:13 I love that Mike has his own dedicated honk so that we all know that he’s saying Hi! I hope he is doing okay too! 14:11 Okay, I wasn’t gonna hit the time stamp again, but all of the fuss you give Wawa for the monkey screams, and we just heard where they come from, lol!! That’s awesome!
Yes!!
Wait…… Is it Saturday?….. We could only hope. Great Monday surprise 👍
Awesome
Thanks for the extra video ❤
Yay. Another sleeperdude video
There is no other car channel as awesome as sleeperdude. #1 channel on youtube.
Thanks for another great video! Keep tuning, you'll get there!
Thank you
Sounds strong glad you didn't hurt anything 😊❤. Be nice to see it on a track and see how it goes 😉 😮
Thanks for sharing Josh...and love the progress on this Fairmont...hope you can find a place where you can test the speed in the quarter mile and see if you can break 12 seconds with it....God bless you and your wonderful family...IJN Amen.
Needed yall today. Thank you
Glad to help!
Oh my goodness I opened my UA-cam & instantly became confused 😂.
Wait... did I sleep my week away & its Saturday already?????
After realizing no health event happened (@ my age crap happens 😅)
& we got a special Monday video!!!! Woohoo Thank You!
It's a bonus Monday video
Good luck, i hope it surprises everyone.
Back pressure sensor could still be a solid insight, before trying to solve a problem that might not be a problem.
What!!! A Monday lunch bonus video? Sweet
Hope you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed it and learned a bit. Thanks
Heck yeah...another Team Sleeperdude vid!! God bless!
More to come!
I'll have to watch later. A dozen errands to run before I can relax and enjoy quality programming 😂
No problem, enjoy those errands!
Bonus Sleeperdude Sweet !
Thanks!
Thank you we appreciate your generosity🙂
How to fit more in that engine bay… ditch the shock towers. Convert to a Mustang II style front suspension and you can delete those shock towers. That would give you a ton more room in the engine bay.
Glad you found the problem can't wait to see you on the strip josh you deserve it bud
Thank you
I finally clicked a video as soon as it came out.
Congratulations
It's fun when that happens!
Thanks to you and Ralphie for this video. I hope you get the bugs working for you instead of against you
Always good to see one in the middle of the week. 😊
Yes thank you
No way you did something wrong. Marge must have distracted you. 😂
Oh yeah all the time
@@sleeperdude2690 Marge probably distracted you 😂
Man... Like many who follow you I'm sure, I would so enjoy wrenching with ya on all your stuff 👍. That roller rocker was quite a gotcha eh? You'll get that beast dialed in though, I have no doubt. She did great at the dyno (evidenced by the kids faces 😂). Best of luck
0:29,,,,,,well, I am very curious to hear this...✌️👍🇬🇧
yeah it would be nice to see a video on Monday or Tuesday love it
That was awesome, thanks for your work !!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man that Fairmont makes me miss my 1983 Mercury Zephr, Ride Engineered. If you know,you know.
That’s right
Dang Son! I thought for sure you’d get them goats a stompin’ this time. A few more tweaks and them goats’ll be buck dancing!
Really liked the lesson on tuning!
Great video I’ve a problem with my 383 Chevy but you’re given me things to check , all ways good to see your videos 👍
I enjoy going along with you as you make adjustments to work out things it's really Cool 👍
"Forged in propane" 😅 .....Ralphie is the town blacksmith. 🐎🤠 ......Definitely a delicate process, i hope you can get the tuning where you want it, Josh. "Measured in millimeters" as they say. Thanks for sharing! 🔧🔧🔧
Can’t wait to see her on the track low 9s high 8s 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Me too
Sleeperdude on a Monday. What a nice surprise.
Thanks! I appreciate the fast turnaround with a catch up video cause I think everyone is really hoping that any issues are resolved fast as possible as fast as that Fairmont is going to Beat the Compitition ❤😂 its about learning and sharing I learn because you share it takes a really good man (and wife great kids best dogs and goats and turtles ) Marge the young-uns , the Goat Ranch and the lil piggies it is such a joy to see the love and the perserverance of All of the Above ❤ love y’all so much and thanks Hmmm. De-stress with the Model T. Lol time sure seems to be flying by. I really enjoyed your Vacation Videos very much so. ❤
Thank you so much we really appreciate your support and encouragement 🙂
I like that car. Keep at it. You'll get it dialed in. I have no doubt.
Thank you
Heck yeah thank you Josh I need a break from cleaning 😂
Bonus Sleeperdude makes for a great day ❤
I don’t know what all you plan to do with the car, but if you want to free up some room for exhaust, maybe do a mustang 2 conversion for the front suspension. Get rid of those big shock towers. Just an option. Love your videos!!
Yeah maybe so
You will get there josh its going to be a quick machine
Dang that's a little 'gotcha' there.
Come on Sleeper dude, you don't have to cover for Rocky making a mistake in his work!!😂
Looking forward to my new keychain. Goat stomps. Next Key Chain should be “Ralphie’s keys to success” or “Josh’s 55 stay alive.”
EH sleeper dude . Up here in Picton Ontario Canada. That Fairmont is coming along nicely. Can't wait till I see it run down the drag strip and can't wait to receive Ralphie's art work. You and your family are the best entertainers on UA-cam. Canada thinks alot of you guys. Catch y'all on the next video.
I glue the valve cover gaskets to the valve covers, it seems to help seal them up, and they come on and off multiple times.
Use a coffee filter in your oil drain pan and you can see the metal once it's filtered through are you can just cut open the oil filter I agree I thought it would make more horsepower I'm curious what your compression rate is
Good idea
Hope and pray your Family and Friends survived all the weather
You just said something about your t-shirts and I wish I had the extra money to order one of the Ralphie shirts look at them dimes I love when he welds one day he's going to be the best welder around
Thank you
I've written it before but I think making the maverick "offroad-able" puts some New paper to the news
Dear Sleeperdude family.
👍👌👏 At 35.18 min says it all! 😁 ;-) Maybe less hp than you expected but definitely and obviously a ton of torque. I said it before and say it again: You built a healthy torque monster that should be strong enough for whatever you wanna do with it. Of course I missed the faces of Wawa, Ralphie and Marge being with you while test driving the car. Maybe next time (at least I hope so). I'm sure that they will have a lot of fun. Maybe WaWa will even be allowed to drive this monster!? 2) Murphy seems to have the right size to be a perfect watch dog. Blocking the door so that any intruder can't get out is a great idea! 😁 ;-) It reminded me of the famous and wonderful movie "Bodyguard". Kevin Costner had to push away a big dog using a door just like you did.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (two and four legged ones).
Check with a local boat shop for some cast iron manifolds from a big block power boat. They may exit on the ends right where you need them.
ripped pretty good when you took it out on the street thanks for the video get some headers
We all mess up some time you an your dad an family. Will fix it good luck
Thanks man I appreciate it.
You gonna have to get rid of those inner fenders to fit those bigger headers.
Maybe so
@@sleeperdude2690 hopefully you get something to fit. That bb should be a beast.
ABSOLUTELY-------> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂
if there is room somewhere you could put the turbos underneath so you can go with different manifolds.
Maybe so
Sleeperdude on a Monday? I'll take it. Thanks Sleeperdudes and dudettes!
I have been foot braking a small cubic inch v6 with somewhat large turbo for years. You need to make sure your rear brakes are the best they can be. We use two long shoes. Some use bigger wheel cylinders. You will also find out on a sticky track you will be able to hold more boost/rpm. Good Luck.
Interesting engine modification. From stock to twin turbo racing engine❤👍. Sleeperdude Family❤. Josh❤
Those turbos should flow more hp than that, and the headers don't look any more restrictive than stock manifolds people use to make 2x that power on LS stuff. What were the IATs? it seems down a few hundred hp from what it should make even on relatively low boost, also the converter seems way too tight but if the motor is down on power fixing that will loosen it up a little.
I agree. 230 degrees
@@sleeperdude2690 230 is pretty warm. But others have run e85 cars on similar hot air charge setups and still made respectable power. How much timing was it pulling? Ive seen people make 600+ on a single one of those turbos, so i wouldn’t think they would be done in twin config for a while. Even on a big cu bbc.
What a GODS blessing you all are
Maybe you'll get 1000 BHP Now, Marge Wins!!
🤣
Hey you guys might want to look into notching the shock towers like the early Shelby Mustangs There used to be a company that sold a 14 piece kit Really super solid build Good luck finding more power!
A lil monday nught video from tye hest family on UA-cam
Thank you
I'm ready to see it go down the track
Build the Cleveland an drop it in that bay :)
Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work
at 17 lbs boost = you need 45psi of fuel pressure ! i have a adjustable fuel pressure regulator - my new turbo fitted now i need 55psi = i can turn it up ! = how much fuel pressure have you got ?
i will never skip a sleeperfella video
Why do I think you are laying in bed every night wondering 🤔 what to do different and what you think things you forgot...that's what I used to do. But the car is together and is VERY healthy. Great 👌 job 👏
Thank you
Heck, yeah brother the headers I was looking at for my dad’s beast called Doug performance Heathers. My dad has a 66 coronet four-door I like to build up and I like my Mustangs and my new GTO.
Maybe I heard you wrong. How do you only make 600hp with turbos on a bbc? My 496 makes 750 n/a.
Thanks for sharing 😊.
I don't know how but you got me eating these water logged mini hotdogs. I like the smoked flavor.
Lose the strut towers put in coil over front end it would open up tons of room.
Yes sir, feel like wrenching now 😂
👍👍👍
I imagine you will just be banging your head against the wall trying to tune it with that exhaust restriction, and now you may have a converter restriction also. I'd probably wait until you can work those out and I think your tuning will be more responsive.
Yes! Thanks
Thanks for the video.
