As the video title suggests, we are turbocharging the Indie car. Now, we aren't the heroes of this story because that was what was done back in 1997. Look at how complicated this is. Far more complicated than anything we've ever done. This journey that we're about to embark on is going to teach us and break our souls at the same time. All of these weirdass parts on here and the one I'm most excited about is this one. We 3D printed a weirdass part that you cannot easily see. It is curved. It is hollow. And it is aluminum. It's like a frog like doing this with its throat. So, this replaces this plastic one right here. Really accomplishes a lot with keeping everything super low profile and still getting the turbo vacuum out. — That's wild. That's actually what some of that material looks like once it's on. They cleared out the other side. I could clear that out. That's going to work out really well. So, the only thing we might have to do is shave this corner down a little bit. Depending on how much we're going to clock this further you go this way, it crashes into right here. So, we'll get this mounted on there. But, let's go over to the Indie car and show you where this is supposed to go. Finn [ __ ] up. That's an O-ring surface there. And he made this the same size as the outside of the O-ring. That's okay. The turbo goes in here. And then the compressor is here. And it comes up and goes into the throttle. And then the exhaust comes from here and here goes in and then curly cues out this hole. This does hold the turbo. So it is a very important part. It's really cool because you can follow this path and it zigzags over to the front of the engine which has a straw over to the vacuum pump. So it'll definitely work. Thankfully it's only 60 bucks to get this printed. Otherwise, I'd be really bummed out. We have started moving all of the Cossworth parts to the shop. I was like, "Okay, well this is very manageable. This is a small box. we can manipulate whatever's inside of it. Uh, wrong. We've taken out probably 20 boxes, 15 boxes out of it already and realized that we're not going to do this any better. So, one of the things I've been in search of desperately for the sake of my life is engine mounts. So, these would hold the engine to the chassis and more so just hold the car together cuz that is the chassis. That is the frame is the engine. Digging through there while Joel was trying to take the broken lens cover off of there, I found these. These are the studs for the upper four mounting positions. This basically connects to these. And then the shock sits on this plate up here. Really, impressively, all intertwined. But these two are things that I've been worried about for the longest time. They're the ones that go in right here. This is where the stud goes inside of. Goes through that rear cover and then goes through this rear chassis and then comes out as a stud right there. So, the only ones I'm missing are the very bottom ones. But this is no longer a really shitty thing for a CNC machine. — One of the coolest things about Turo is not only can you pick the car that you want. Exactly. But you also can pick it up at the airport. No shuttles waiting in line doing all the paperwork. So much more convenient. We're here right now and have it picked up at designated airport lots, garages, or even curbside. In this case, we explicitly wanted the Miata RF, the hard top that is retractable. I wanted to see what that car cuz it looks cool to me and that's exactly what we got. While the airport itself isn't that far from our shop, what I did want was to experience this Miata without having to buy it. That is probably my favorite part about Turo is that we ended up with an NA Miata, the first generation, but there were four to choose from. And the one I wanted the most was this one, the ND Miata. I didn't want to spend that sort of money getting the car and then tearing it apart. So, here we get to enjoy it. See if that was the right or wrong move. So, one of the coolest things that happened is that we were really interested in renting this car. We did it same day, within almost the same hour. One of the greatest conveniences I've found of Turo is that like last second adventure. You can just go straight on the website, reserve a car, and within a couple minutes, everything starts processing. It's very, very, very convenient. Turo is the world's largest car sharing marketplace. Not only do they have over 1,600 different brands and makes and models, but they are also available at over 140 plus airports in United States and Canada. Of course, they're in several other countries, including France. Skip the rental counter and hit the roads faster. Thanks to Turo for sponsoring today's adventure and just click on the link or on the QR code to get started renting today. Last night, I tore into that big box with tons of [ __ ] in it. This is the 5- in flywheel. And then I came across this one and I was like, "Hold up, there's something different. " The rumors are correct. They did actually run a 4. 5 in clutch on some of the cars. And you can see that is utterly insanely small. I happened under that advice before had bought quad disc 4. 5 in clutch, which is serviceable by the way. We can get this one fixed. It was the clutch meant for this car, a — brand new one. So, we can have a brand

### [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R90q-dcsrQk&t=300s) Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00)

new even small. I mean, the rotational mass on a 5- in clutch is utterly insanely low. But this, the clamping force can be up to 700 foot-lbs of torque. Obviously, you don't want to be dropping the clutch often on these cuz it holds until it doesn't. But, we now have two clutch options. I spent all last night understanding what was in those boxes, and it is a treasure trove. This is obviously the crankshaft here. it transfers and then they call them compound gears where it goes from a gear to a gear. This is the first compound gear and then it transmits it to these two which are getting it to the cam shafts. So you see this sprocket that's where the chain comes in and it goes around these two. It will spin the same direction as the chain and life is good. I went and dug through the box because these are all sprockets. You can't treat sprockets like these. I found these gears. Some of you guys might know this is not like a benefit as much as just a cool factor. I want to build one of these engines where it's completely gear driven. They did have them. Um I don't think they ever raced, but just having this on display with everything being gear driven. I mean that's like engine porn. So I found all the parts to do that. When I saw gear cam shaft instead of sprocket, I was like, "Oh, please. " You can see the adjustment here — and the gearing here. You know, it looks almost identical to what we were just touching, but they are not. They're specific. So, here's the cam gear, and here's the more or less the drivetrain gear, the diameter and everything, and the bolt holes are meant to go right here. Now, one of the really interesting details of that, these two overlap. That's a very big, not red flag, but that's a very big issue because what does that mean? That means that they counterrotate on this. They both rotate the same way. The chain spins them both the same way. So you can kind of keep track of where the engine is based on both of these. But I was under the assumption that these two would be like split and then a gear would be turning both of them the same way. But they have it where drive middle drive and then these two. So we have some cam shafts that I guarantee are meant for this style. But just the idea of having all these gears excites me. There's not many, but they exist. None of our vendors would have a reason to carry this. So I ordered it just randomly off of Amazon. But it's inch and one4 aluminum tubes that goes like that. And so once it clamps onto these hoses, this stays on there. Now it does sit on the flat bottom. So we'll have to put the flat bottom on to figure these out. Once we've got these figured out, then we can put the oil cooler on. This certainly is going to be interesting to try and figure out the best combination. So, this little guy I thought was just like a bunch of random ass fittings. This is actually their pressure relief. There's a whole procedure, thankfully, that we now know that we fill it up, you add coolant until it gets to over 28 PSI, and then let this basically drain it back out under fully warm operating temperatures, and then you cap it. This isn't meant to bleed the system from air. You do that with the rest of the system. This is meant to manage the pressure, which is utterly incredible that that's how it's done on this car. To get the radiators figured out, there's an indent on the flat bottom that tells you exactly where they should be. So, we need to slide that under here. So, this is the point of why we need to do this. These headers are not meant for this car. These parts look like they actually are meant for this car, but these do not. And so, we'll have to pivot the EGTs a little bit to keep them on there. These headers, while not meant for this car specifically, aren't touching the flat bottom. There's enough room ultimately for the shielding to go around them. I'll loosen this EGT up and kind of move it around. But we now know for sure this is going to turn into a cooler that runs along this path. But there's a tunnel that goes right through this area. And we're lucky enough to have only one side of everything. We have to make some holes in it. And that's why I wanted to show you guys just how cool this is on camera. But it helps me fit this into it. We were so worried when we only could get one of these from England that we're like, "Okay, well, we're screwed. " Well, now with 3D printing, we're not screwed and we can make it pretty light. Now, one of the things that didn't make any sense to me at the time, why they had all these knobs in here, but those are mounting brackets. There are also holes for tension rods. There should be a hole down here somewhere. Oh, yeah, there it is. So, I will cut the hole that's already cut in the carbon. This how they do it on the racetracks, too. — For sure. Without a doubt. But in my defense, the these holes are existing.

### [10:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R90q-dcsrQk&t=600s) Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00)

We're just making them — reexist. — Yeah. Yeah. That better be the right goddamn hole. Uh-oh. There's nothing past that. So, I'm I actually am going to have to cut my own hole. It wants to sit right there. Yeah, that goes to nowhere. — Wait, do the other notches make sense? This one actually seems really like proper versus that being so far off. Going to just go ahead and that's promising. I can see why they use these rods. Like that's barely any interference — and barely any material. Oh yeah, you're the first person to see what they look like going through the airflow. So, the only thing we would do is make the upper hole larger. So, that way we can fit that piece off without changing the length of the rod. You guys got to see it before I did, but that's the extent of the airflow disruption. Virtually none. We'll have to figure this one out. Looks like at some point they originally planned to have it hold at the very front. — Oh, this seems to line up better now, too. — That one seems okay. So, we don't have the next major piece, but we do have this radiator, and it is probably meant for one year before ours. Hogan Lola never ran a 97, I'm pretty sure. But that is the actual oil cooler and radiator. And look at how small this radiator is. It literally two pass tank out. So the radiator really isn't big on this side. And this is all oil cooling. Oil in bypass with a little petcock instead of going through here really thick. So you warm it up quick and then shut that off and it has to go through the cooler. And so this should Okay, there we go. Slide it back out. Oh [ __ ] that's tight. — I see why they did it the way they did it. — Yeah. So the fitting stops right there. So if we weld a fitting onto here, we'll have like an inch of hose. Some work cut out for us. But more importantly, this should be going over to there. The bottom one would be going to right here, which it actually currently is. So the top one we might have to cut and reform. It's not exactly for this car. It's close, but this car is of course unique. Got some soularching with this top tank, but thankfully uh there's plenty of material to work with to not get near the fins and do anything stupid. But the bottom ones, my god, I could get that finished almost immediately. That is the first time we've ever done that. Put it all together. Obviously cut the wrong holes. And so that tunnel will then do the exact same thing. And you can see this recess for the radiator on this side. Cooler here. And then this fraction of it goes all the way back to here and here. And so oil pumps out of here for the transmission, gets cooled, and then comes back into its reservoir in the very back. 2/3 radiator, 1/3 oil cooler. We're going to just make it mirror. I don't want to try and get creative and have like a different size tunnel and now there's a bigger air pocket here than there. I'm not qualified at all to even mess with that. So, I'm gonna keep it even. Looking at that side, this looks like an actual vehicle. So, I I've got a semi. — Shout out to Ralphs. — He's [snorts] sick of Ralph's uh sponsored this car. Again, it's so crazy to me that this was a show car. Here we are turning it back into a real car. On a show car, you don't want them to see that there's no radiator, so they metal wires. Since we are in this moment, I replaced this with one of the other cars. So, that feeds the alternator cold air. I wonder if that goes to somewhere on the body. I replaced this one as well. That was totally wrong. It was meant to send air to the turbo and all that. So, for this car, that one should also get some sort of little baby air snorkel. We can finally get rid of that. Now, that was to expose the popoff valve. That's how people were going too hard on boost. — We're not popping off. off like that. So, you got that knack duct there. This looks like you basically fit something onto that and it sits up cuz there's nothing to hold it on here. But I see like this. — Yeah, the indent. — And then this Oh. Oh [ __ ] Okay. Yeah, we're really unboxing things today. So, the inlet for the turbo is over here. Again, there's be something coming up that we don't know exactly what. It just goes right to here. So, we have to get like a rubber coupling and a if we see anything that looks like that, that's going to be specific to this car, not the engine. I thought this was heat guard. This is actually air filter. And then that goes to this little elbow of sorts. — We got a lot of things to make. small things to make that each one's like, "Oh, yeah, easy. " But hard to believe, but it's all coming together. This is a very special moment for me. It is getting the carbonarbon ceramics on. This is the first time of like really putting this on. And I think one of my concerns is making sure that this goes all the way

### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R90q-dcsrQk&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00)

on. Yeah, there we go. So, you can see it's touching the black back plate and all these little spacers or dowel aspects of them are all on. So, I thought these holes were either 38 cuz the rest of the car is 38. And I was like, let me just try M10, which those two look very similar. Absolutely not. And Joel and I were looking and we found another set. These are the studs for this car. And the very first thing I did was put it in there. I'm like, "Okay. " And then I go and check the thread and it's the same thread. So then I'm like, "Okay, all right. The shaft must be thinner. " No, it's not thinner. The shaft is bigger than the thread. How the hell is this possible? And then Joel was playing with it and found the magic is that this bolt does go into the backside. What happens is from them torquing it down over the years and the high heat environment, there's a little lip right here that prevents you from thinking it's going to work. These guys are worse than anybody else at making a decision on which bolt set to use cuz all of this is US Imperial. This is M10 metric. So, what we're going to do is put these little studs on here. This should line up to the center of the rotor. And there you go. You can see the Brembo right there. — Oh, nice. — A mixture of the wrong parts all working together to make the right parts. Start thinking about where brake lines can go. There's a fitting in here and here. — Oh, the lines go through that. — Yeah, one of the lines goes through this and comes out right here. So, these are hollow. Each of these pieces coming together makes it feel like it was so easy to begin with, and it has been anything but. Now, the other thing that we have to put back on here, but not yet, is the ducting. So, all the bolts are still on here from this side, but we need to get the big ducts back on here so that way we can keep these brakes cool. So, this one's a lot simpler, but same thing. M10 bolts here, same calipers, a lot flatter profile. And if you'll notice, this has only four studs. I'm just excited. I hope you guys can tell. The ADHD is kicking in because there's like, oo, a piece of candy. Oh, this is so cool. If you were in my spot, I guarantee unless you hate cars, you would be like losing your [ __ ] too. — This guy went from working on radiator. — Yeah, I was supposed to be working on the radiator today, but then I'm like, wait, brakes. And now look at this. Look at the brakes from here. That looks sick. Well, this isn't our normal U-Haul rental. We are moving a lot of weight. We've got to move about 10 engines plus a lot of parts. And it's not even the big room of parts. It's just a lot of pistons, more engines. Did I mention engines? We got a lot of [ __ ] to bring back to our shop that is priceless and both useless at the exact same time. — And engines. — And by the way, engines. We are back at Ed Pinks. We are going to start loading the crates with no idea of how we're going to get them back out of here or in the shop, but at least we'll have them so they can demolish this building for the city's metro system. Absolutely solidifies the fact that we are not getting these back out. But this is all the stuff that's from back there, not including engines and not the room that's filled with shelves of stuff. You could probably build about 50 engines with this. U but we don't have enough parts to build all 50 engines. It' be most of them. We got 13 engines to take with us. And in fact, they accidentally loaded a box that wasn't ours in here. And it's kind of like I don't want any more parts. No more parts, please. This is everything except for four engines and a 1500 ft room of parts. But we're getting there. We're making progress. This is a huge step. We've got everything held in as much as we can with all the straps we've got and I feel pretty good about it to the point where I've got things redundant. Pretty exciting even though we know where to put it. We've made room. We've made a little bit of room. We skipped a lot of the absolute [ __ ] part of this. But we are here. We've got all of these engines at the shop. We have a total of 18 mostly together engines. And I have learned so much since the last time we filmed about how these engines are set up and what's inside of these boxes, which you guys have never really seen either. Basically, Cossworth USA 2003 is kind of when they started really shutting down operations. And by 2007, they stopped running these engines altogether. There were only a handful of those. But this piston set is actually very special. These pistons are the leal version of the engine. I had to go through all of our information about what makes the XDLM so special. And when I asked the Cossworth guys, it was the very first engine ever to run at Lemon as a ethanol engine. It wasn't in an Indie car. It was in a LMP2 car. So, they used a

### [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R90q-dcsrQk&t=1200s) Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00)

slightly different engine setup, which included pistons, connecting rods, cams, and everything. So, I have two of the XDLM engines here. Well, 1. 5 of them. And you can see XDLM. LM obviously stands for LMAL. That one and that one right there. Those engines have these special pistons and a lot longer life. Not that one. A lot longer life than the standard engines. I think we have two sets of those pistons and then connecting rods specifically for the LM matching sets. So this is a huge step. Apparently, they are lighter than the already light and small XD ones, but this is what it calls for. We only have a couple. I think that's the best spec to sell the motor in is something that's meant to last forever at full tilt. We got a lot of stuff to go through. We still have 2,000 ft of stuff to get, but the amount of information I'm absorbing and trying to understand what we do have because we are definitely going to get he's ready to sell. — We have got a handful of things. Not many, but these are things that will save us some serious time when it comes to getting the car running and continuing to keep it running. One of those Scott had was these wheels. And so these are the same dimensions. And this is actually the same rubber that's on the car right now, a 14 1/2x 28x 15. This one's same thing, just different rubber. These are the Incanel pieces. And like you can see this little flange here was cast at some point so I could cut right here and reuse it cuz the angle is not going to work for our car. The pieces could and so I really wanted to have the whole exhaust be canel and now I think that is a reality. I've taken this back off of the car as you guys saw us fitting it on there earlier. That gives us almost everything we need to make the flipped mirrored version of this and thanks to the 3D printer we're going to be able to see if it's even possible. Finn's modeled this whole thing, but we've cut it kind of like right here. And we are currently 3D printing that section. Now, our printer is big, but not that big. And so, we have to print this in multiple pieces. We've piece number one, and it tells us exactly what we're looking for. So, this is the cooler for that side. Finn already told me that, hey, you know, it's not the right height. You see, this area is got a gap, and he was planning to have the cooler sit all the way in the front of that divot on the bottom. But the problem is it's not where that this has to be cuz you can see that the cooler looks like it should sit back about our fingers width in that divot and it's right in the middle on both sides. No reason to continue printing this because it needs to be modified. Very exciting. Now that we have all of these extra pieces of incanel, none of them bolt directly together, so I've got to do some cutting. I've bolted the turbo up. The reason I'm using this is to get a center of the turbos. It barely fits in here, but it will allow me to line everything up properly. And so you're going to see something really weird show up. That's where Finn has the feet. It's got an inch gap here and no gap here. So that's not going to work. And then this doesn't it's not even close. If I shift it almost exactly an inch back, then everything starts to line up. So realistically, centering this hole and centering this hole, that's our turbo's final placement. So the first thing I'm going have to cut is Finn's piece and shift the whole bottom of it exactly one bolt hole over. Not specifically meant for this car, but this type of car. You can see that this having a longer neck here means that we can cut this and weld this directly to the turbo. And that shows us our other issue, which is these elbows are not even going to line up at all with that. So, this flange does connect with that flange. So, we can cut this flange off. We cut this bellow off. And we're going to have to angle it. I certainly have my work cut out for me on this, but I'm going to start cutting these pieces up. It's 100% infill. And you can see it cut quicker here than it did here. That's about as straight as I will ever get on a band saw. This makes it easy for me to know, okay, I need to shift it backwards. Welding this is not good. First of all, I'm using 5000 series. You're supposed to use 4,000 series. That said, obviously, I'm annoyed because it's clean until I add filler. And look at you. See, I added more filler in there and it just got so much dirtier. Now, one of the reasons why I'm adding so much is because it was paper thin right there. Joel asked me this off camera about remaking this piece. And I think that that's probably a safe bet once I get this final version of this mocked up is scan it, make those adjustments, and ultimately not use this piece. We'll run it for now, but it it's a mockup. I don't trust it.

### [25:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R90q-dcsrQk&t=1500s) Segment 6 (25:00 - 30:00)

I am a broken man, but I have a car that works. Jo had to hear all of it. bitching like crazy. This is not easy at all, especially since we didn't utilize all the scan data to make the first piece. Finn did an excellent job coming up with something from nothing, but getting that last 20% that takes 80%. We've done 3D printing, we've done welding, machining, everything that you can do to that piece of metal, we've done. Now, the camera will show it even better is that it's not completely centric. Once we get to the phase with the next piece, I'll just shim it and get it to the very center. But this is what we were figuring would only take about five minutes. Uh, now that five minutes is done, we get to do the fun part, which is start cutting. I've already started scribing a line parallel to the turbo inlet. So, nothing too surprising there. So, I'm just going to chop straight through there. That is both my best and worst uh ink cut. That was a new thing to see like the heat right at that spot. It's already got tons of heat in it. But to see it glow like that was wild. I can put my finger here perfectly fine. Touch this and it it's boiling hot. It does not transmit heat well at all, which is one of the key things about Incanel. Really wild to see that it really contains that. Look at how much distance we have. So we are in really good shape there. Pretty promising. Assuming that I get all those pipes all together, we still have two gaping holes where the waste gates should be. Turbosmart's got the setup for that. It's a pneumatic gate. And here's where it gets really crazy to me. On a puppet style gate, the back pressure, the air pressing against this, the exhaust can push it open. That's why you have all those weird like, oh man, I start making more boost or my boost target dropped. Weird stuff. this case, this will not open under back pressure up to like 200 PSI. So, what happens is there's a 3 lb spring in there right now. You actually have to truly manipulate the diaphragm to get this to open. It's your choice. So, if you want 7 lbs of boost, you're going to get 7 lbs of boost. The gate itself isn't playing as much of a factor as it does on the puppet style ones. So, you don't have to react to back pressure. This you just open and close it as you see fit. So that's massive for us and I believe fits perfectly. We have a couple different ways of mounting this. Ideally it'd be something like that as long as we don't hit the suspension. We might have to cut this and move it back. So that way we have an out pipe. But look at that compared to what was on there. — Crazy. — Yeah. Obviously this is 97 technology and it's supposed to be motorsports. Turbosmart knows what they're doing. It's uh night and day difference. — When people need help, they don't call you for small things, you know? They call you for uh — extremely complicated. — This guy, which is cool because this is actually a cast piece and this had goes around the compressor. So, this is our first choice having a Vband in there. It just doesn't make sense. So, that's with it touching. — Yeah. Then it touches the engine — and so and then so there genuinely is just no room for that guy. They have this piece which they made which is kind of slightly out of angle. I don't know if you guys could kind of see how this is compared to the straight piece. Cutting it back a little bit will give us some more space to uh to get closer to this part away from the engine. So, less heat to the engine. And then if we cut this back, it should actually even out the flow just a little bit because it is at an angle. I'm just going to say cuz I'm an honest man. I'm nervous. — Yeah. — Um — above my pay grade. — Yeah. Above mine, too. Uh but yeah, let's just get over here and cut it cuz once you start cutting, you can't go back. See how there's that little piece of straight? — Yep. — We don't want that. Well, that's that. Um, this blade is honestly [ __ ] And this is a little more [ __ ] than I thought it was going to be, but that's okay. I could fix it. — It's funky. That's just this natural. Like, you see this side is bigger than this side. This cut is at an angle. So, it's everything that I hate about fabrication, but um we just need to make it work. So, in the car, we were making it fit like this fat side goes to the front. And so, I was making it fit like this. So, if you come over here, you can see it hangs off this lip. And if I go like that, I can make it match up. And look at the other side. It barely overhangs. So, it's actually not going to be a whole lot of — Oh, that is way closer than I was expecting. — Legit. — My thing was, and you cut it at a great angle, is that it's more or less — going in at the right angle. It's a little — This side not so much. — Yeah, but it's close. I'm just going to center this out so that way this divide is perfectly centered with this. Make sure everything fits. And then I think I'm going to chop this side off. Redo the Vband straight because they are cut at angles. I cut a triangle at this other side to try to close it down so that way it matches. But then I started banging it

and she started to rip at the seams, but this is actually pretty funny. I was just going to reweld it on. — Wow. — Good weld though. It's just that brittle. Rob wanted me to get familiar with the welding of this. I've never welded Incanel. Um, so I'm not going to say I'm a professional by any means, but it's the same thing as titanium, just taking the same precautions and stuff and prep and cleaning it up. This does have a coating on the inside and this was also ran. So, the metal itself is just contaminated and dirty. But from the small tacks that I've done, it has welded good. Let me get you a light in here so that way you can see this backside. So, it has tacked really good. So, I'm confident to just say weld it. It also gives me false confidence of the next step was I measure this out and there's these scribe lines because I don't want to mark um because it contaminates the weld the Sharpie. So scribe lines are the way to go. And so I just put this in half. I clean it up a lot better than what it looked like. It's still not the best, but put that right there and that right there. And it's still kind of old out around the edges. I can take the time to slice this open, cut it, and form it. But this is actually a lot stronger than I anticipated. So, we just both came to the agreement of just weld it up and — we'll see what it does. — Yeah. If it cracks, it's, you know, I'll go cry later. Since I already have this part done and welded on, what I want to do is I'm just going to take as much bend from this as possible because it, you know, you guys can kind of see that angle. That's a CLR that I could cut it on. And these are tight bends and I need this for the outcoming pieces to get to the elbows. And I'm not going to lie, this [ __ ] is really [ __ ] hard to cut. I think no matter what I try, it's just going to keep eating blades. So, I just got to go slow. There's better ways to do this, but I'm working with what we have. You look in there really close. I need to make this small little piece to match up to that. I wanted able to come out here to show you guys how super tight this is. You're touching here, right there, and you're touching there, right there. So, it's like it's exact. There really is no uh no wiggle room, to be honest. — We still haven't tracked down who made the bad one of these. Uh Finn's looking at the video camera footage to see if he could figure out who it was that tried to make him look bad, but we have a re-reed aluminum version of this. And then at the same time, I figured with how thin it could be and especially with the way the design has really tight radiuses there, I was like, you know what? Let's print one out of steel, too. It's like four times heavier. This is the aluminum one. He's got the steel one in there right now. But it's got all the major changes that we needed to do. You know how I welded it, cut it, shifted it, bopped it. He even made it the hole smaller there. So that with the O-ring would sit on this thing. He's sanded it down a little bit. One of the things that we've noticed is that based on the way the shape is, they're of course naturally going to have a little bit of warpage. You know, thousands. And you can even see it here like it curves inward. Same — inward. — That's a problem. That's a medical condition, you know. I didn't show you. — It's like those the horns on a big horn where it starts going back into itself. — It's fake girth. — Double folded back on itself. That's horrifying to think about. Uh so we have the other one in right now. And that's being used to make sure the turbo's in its final spot. Everything's looking good. The whole system of being able to fire up the car with the turbo, everything all sealed off, wastegates on, is so close to happening. — I was going to say words, but I don't think that this requires any words. This originally went like this right here. So before the flange and it just made the Vband super huge on top of the cradle and bolt and it was actually touching. That's how it had to be before. There's no other way to be honest. So, we just flipped it to put the Vband out here and we'll have a little bit more clearance going through all the stuffs. I fired the previous two guys that did it. They were both named Finn. It's weird. They both made versions that they assured me would 100% fit and uh their confidence failed them. So, this Finn, new guy, decided to start from scratch and scan the area. And so, we've scanned it right now without this whole cowling on. And now we're going to rescan it with it on to then have a composite of the distance from this here to the cooler, giving room for this to be able to be adjusted. The biggest problem that we're having is this outer edge down here. Like you want to bring

it out, but realistically it has to come like straight over and not interfere with the body. If this was a puzzle, this wouldn't be like a paint by number cuz that'd be way too easy. This is more like a paint by shade of gray. This is very much a choose your own adventure and there's no actual coherent story. And with that, we're making a story out of it. Now, I am very fortunate that one of my buddies uh sent me pictures from Garrett's headquarters with this exact setup. It was awesome because it reminded me of like, okay, there are certain things that you're doing that we should be doing. And with that is making sure it goes in this way, hooks around that way, and does all the things it needs to do. So, I'm really pleased with where this is going. — It's pretty much for the pipe right there. They've really planned with this radius and then the wing notches exactly like Isaiah said in a radius. This is the control arm and it does move up, but the nice part is it doesn't move up much because that's this area's job. That's very subtle movement. Doesn't hit this even with some heat shielding. And the funniest part is I had Isaiah move these outward because I just like there's just no way to get them in here. And sure enough, that's how they did it on this chassis. So, I still need to tack that in. But, uh, — there she is. — Yeah. — Why are they on equal lengths? — No, honestly, there just not enough space — in this specific situation. The unequalness of this doesn't matter. They extracted every bit out of that, no questions asked. My dream of having everything sealed off, oxygen sensors, the turbosmart waste gates, everything going to the turbo, spooling, and then coming out quickly becoming a reality. This goes in to the car like this. [snorts] And these don't line up. And we want to switch over fittings from the Wiggins to something else. So, I need to modify this because this is a 16 coming in. It's a 12 going out. I might just be able to get away with cutting this off. and welding a fitting and making a line. But these don't line up for the life of them. So, I had to chop this off and somehow make [clears throat] this into something like this, just a tube with that in because it was going to do silicone couplers and this is supposed to slide straight in and put the clamp on. They're going to be clamped on the engine side. The first step that I need to do is to take the wigan stuff off. I only have a little amount of space. I don't want to start cutting this all up if I don't have to. The goal is to minimize as much work to do to the radiator/ oil cooler as possible. So that way I don't [ __ ] it up more. Finn put his insight keys on the line for saying that this fifth, seventh version of this uh would work. We finally have success that it is sitting right where it needs to because look at this. You can actually see the thought process. It gets around the cooler but it has to stay inside of the cowl. This has been one of the most complicated pieces of the whole car. This much is oil cooler and this little thing right here is a radiator. So, we've got this as a double pass to that, but the inlet and outlet for the oil cooler goes through here and then through and then up. Well, it can bypass with this part, which we kind of showed briefly before. But the problem is — there ain't nothing in there. — Nothing in there. And there's no, we haven't found any of those parts. So, the idea here is that that's wide open. So, as you can imagine, oil flows straight through it. But when you turn it 90°, oil can no longer go through here. It's basically to prevent the oil from pressurizing and causing problems. So, it just bypasses very quickly until the car is warmed up and then you would close it fully. And so, we're going to put some sort of safeguards on here. How it stops leaking is there's inner piece in here and an O-ring on this side as well. So, there's two O-rings, but Finn designed a little circlip that will go through here and then hold on to this from the outside so it doesn't plop back out. This gets super complicated. So, I'm just going to chop it off and redo this. I put this piece over here. This is welded on. This is tacked on. This is my last thing. Take me higher.

This is why you pressure test. I think that this was taken off the car for a reason. — It looks like it just burst open and they cut the fence to find it. — Too clean of a hole. — Yeah, it's literally like it's exact. — What we're going to do is quite literally JB weld that area. We can get this replaced at some point, but right now I spent all this money and time getting this one. And sounds like the oil cooler is fine. That has honestly been a weird wild journey. Learning a lot all at once. Now, what is important is the payoff of the video. Everything is all together. So, we can actually fire this up and hear what it sounds like with the turbo. Now, we have some work to do elsewhere, but it is ready to hear those turbo. I don't even know if we're going to hear the turbo, honestly, but we're going to try. We're going to see if we can hear that whistle on top of that absolutely screaming V8 Cossworth.
