MR2 takes Miss Daisy parts (Water to air Intercooler Install)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- In this episode Marty is recycling parts from our EJ powered VW Beetle project to get Water to Air Intercooling on his MR2. Then it's time to install an ECU to try and make it all work. More problems are discovered as the car is slowly transformed from a rusted nugget into a reborn JDM weapon (using copper pipes and bends from the hardware shop) ready to defeat Moog's Moon Buggy.

Mighty Car Mods Yes, I beat you too, first to comment first....chopped
Mixing Copper and Aluminum is generally pretty bad as it leads to all sorts of gunk piling up in the radiator and intercooler channels.
Fair enough this is a short run project car, but you'll want to get that copper pipe swapped out if you sell the car on.

Well Dave is an awesome and good man. Thanks for showing us all your tricks and soldering through the hard stuff so we can all learn from you!
Im not sure how to feel about casting the 69 vote for poo over vag...
8:27 - "It's easy to get forced into inaction by too many differing opinions. Sometimes trying things yourself and learning from the experience is the best way to expand your own skillset."
Some of the best advice I've ever heard for car mods. And life.
absolutely!
Thought the same!
Also: Marty ends up on the floor in a fetal position at the end of the vid :)
Indeed. I noticed that also.
And for From The Depths game. Just throw bunch of things together and see can you beat anyone with your... war bucket.
I love how you start out all optimistic and end on the floor in a MR2 mortal kombat K.O.
FINISH HIM!!!!!
@@maxpwr_fpv4987 Fatality!
Gruesome!
@@Brock_Landers Think you mean 'Babality' as he looked about ready to cry at the end. X)
flawless victory!
Marty: **mods his car AF**
Moog: **got it started**
I expected Moog to have a way harder time than Marty. But now that I think about it, cars can't rust on the moon.
it's the reverse of the 300$ turbo challenge. while moog was hacking out his front bumper to fit an intercooler, and making garden edging lips, marty was just getting 2sexy running.
Also Marty: i have scavenged all these parts from 17 other builds we had
@@ifrit35 ... eaven if they can , in space no one can hear you car rusting away. :D
@meetmeat24hrfitness I don't think he is saying it is a bad thing.
Bang up job on fabrication Marty!
Just one tip, when you are bending stuff in your bench vice bend it towards the bench, the vice is MUCH stronger in that way. You are pounding into the body of the vice. Bending away from the bench you are putting all the force and pounding into only the jaw of the vice. If you watch the video you can see the vice jaw flexing a lot, and cast iron is not meant to flex.
Kudos to your buddy Dave for stepping in on the wiring stuff.
The MR2 is gonna smoke the moon budgie big time!
Cheers from Tokyo!
Well said re the vice
Tokyo Craftsman good tip, thanks mr craftsman from Tokyo
@@mightycarmods Anytime, love your JDM content!
Cheers!
@@mightycarmods I saw what looked like oxyacetylene being used to solder the copper tubing, but not to heat the bends. Put the steel in the vise, heat it red-hot, bend it like it's made of butter.
Moog: I rebuilt my brakes and carbies.
Marty: I rebuilt... everything.
Simplicity and minimalism, vs technical and 'modern'. I personally like the idea of having a roof.
@Cyclone Bravo So what you're saying is that Marty chose poorly? Because that's exactly what I was thinking! 😉
@@tricd0444 tops are overrated.
@Cyclone Bravo and slow...
NimbleSeaUrchin well a normal bug would have had a roof lol
LOL Dave:
"We could rewire the entire engine... But no.... Please??"
Adam Martinez you could hear the pain in his voice. I felt that.
He really didn't want to, the despair in his voice is real :P
Dave is like,Your killing me...ehh.WHY???
Marty owes Dave all the beers... ALL!
Dave is definitely thinking 'why must I always say Yes!!!'
I can feel Al’s disapproval at the sillicone from here.
It's a look that'd cut through silicone pipe....

The Bad Obsession boys aren't thinking kind thoughts about that bracket either..

@@C4CHopeless Only drove to church on sundays type thing?
That is what I have been saying, lol. He is so bent up about what I consider normal amounts of rust.
Pretty much all of Ontario and Quebec too 🤣 they try to use penetrating fluid where I’d probably just bring out the oxyacetylene torch
this series was supposed to inspire me to work on my own MR2, not regret all my life choices 😂
Same😂
I was thinking about installing a MS3 ECU in my 3SGE but I'm not that enthusiastic anymore 😅
People though I was crazy for getting an Rx7 to work on, "the engines need rebuilding every 3 minutes, and their pistons are triangular" they'd say, well now my rebuttal can be a link to this series and the response "Hey at least it's not an MR2"
Pretty sure this is a flood car or someone has been driving it in the surf- can't imagine how else it would have got so rusty in Australia!
shap3 in the same boat for mine😂
Marty: Hey! We're getting to the ECU! Easy computer bits!
MR2: hold my sake.
Yeah no kidding.

@@eddjordan2399 preparation is everything....
Dave's face when he said, "It's not that hard to work on this car." Lol!
Yeah that was by far my favorite part 👏
I felt him looking right into my soul, and my soul agreed. My mr2 is just as difficult to work on, so much so it's just been sitting for years undriven til I get some money, motivation and space to work on it.
Seeing them do this ECU update has been informative though. It's something I wanted to do myself at some point.
Reminded me of this joke th-cam.com/video/wTqsV3q7rRU/w-d-xo.html this dude pulls that face after every trick :DD
Poor Dave! :)

Marty: "big flippy uppie ones."😂👍
This might not be a "showy" or "in your face' episode, but as an amateur garage tinkerer this was a great watch. Nothing like having a go yourself and seeing what happens.
spot on, reminds me of most of my in-garage exploits.. "hmm, snappy fab job""*three days later* "god damn, fscksncejhf!~!!!
That’s the difference between Marty and Moog. I like Marty’s style and noticeable lack of “showy-ness.” He keeps it real. 👍
I used to really want an MR2 - this video series has shown me the error of my ways.
If you are afraid of this then no "proper" old car is worth buying for you, be it a slightly older JDM K-Car or a completely rusted out Leyland MINI.
@@4IN14094 Many older cars are easy and fun to work on. In fact, most older cars are actually fun and easy to work on. Buying an MR2 is jumping in an exotic challenge knowing it's going to be exactly that: a challenge. It's definitely not for everyone.
It’s completely worth it when it runs, but I’ve seen and found that it likes to fight you so often. It’s an incredible experience, but if you just want to drive it might not be the car for you.
Just get someone else to do the legwork not a problem then

So glad quarantine doesn’t stop mighty car mods
I believe they said this was done before it got severe. I assume they have some videos for backup, and editing is probably hugely time consuming as well.

I haven't seen them together for a month...
Free Raccoon seriously ? Is that actually a thing over there??
@@TheSuperSwain of course
I think this is my favourite series on MCM so far. Lots of useful information, some good jokes. Really good overall advice. And no yelling and shouting and fooling around. I love Moog but being able to choose to watch him or Marty or both is just awesome and works well for me personally :)
Dave is an absolute legend. Scotty is great too but let’s all give a round of applause to Dave
I must say this project has been vastly more fun to follow than the moon buddy.
The Moog-buggy rules!!!
Disagree. I find watching this MR2 build to be irritating. Makes me never want one of these cars. No fault of Marty’s of course. The video quality is great. Just... looks like such a pain to work on.
@@blakestone75 Well, I guess Marty has never seen a car from the north... That car is in mint condition.
(Sure, there might possibly be a cable fire lurkinh in the future, but other than that...)
@Jorn Navarre the price just with all the fabrication alone is well over 8k
@@blakestone75 im guessing you've never worked on cars? While the mr2 is particularly bad most project cars a like this and have continuous problems
Moog the music is awesome man. Great job 🔥🔥
The "mate in the boot" reveal is truly 10/10. I hope it makes it to more MCM vids!
Man Moog's music really adds that next level touch to these videos.
What’s the track sounds?
The music! Bravo Moog! Every episode the music just keeps getting better!
Watching this series is bringing back so many memories of the nightmares I had with my old MR2. I still loved that car though.
Ive always been a big Marty fan and when its him vs Moog I know where I stand #TeamMR2
The Moog buggy will piss it in 👌👌👌 #healthyrivalry
@@maxpwr_fpv4987 It really will depend on the challenges, on dirt the buggy every time
0:29 "this episode the car's gonna get started..." I hear no vroom or choo-choo noises, and Dave's getting progressively less hair.
Those noises were replaced with internal screaming for sure haha
Even though I enjoyed this episode, I am disapointed by the lack of vroom vroom pchhhhht
#NoVroom
I was looking for this comment. 😂
The best part for me is I am coming back from a year away and catching up on MCM, “this episode the cars gonna get started” and the next video in recommended is “mr2 finally starts” 😂
Marty: Hey mate, can you come over and help me with the wiring, it's probably like a 1 hour job.
*Four hours in to the job Dave wishes he never came by* 😂
Been there, on both sides of the deal.
Not fun
"It's 19mm internal so parts are nice and cheap" runs straight length copper pipe 🤣🤣🤣 love ya Marty not gonna lie this build is alot more interesting the the moon buggy
doesn't mixing metals cause corrosion? :/
@@pedrosmartins yeh if the radiators are aluminium cores then there will be issues
@@pedrosmartins You could run a coolant filter that has anti-electrolysis pellets in it or you can drop the pellets in the radiator from time to time. Making sure the engine has a good big ground also helps.
@@pedrosmartins coolant in nz and aus has built in anti-corrosion, probably cos a lot of people don't change it for ten years lol!
Thank you Marty I will for ever be thankful to you for helping me cross of the MR2 rebirth of my bucket list 👍👍👍👏👏👏
I was thinking)g Marty was going to start crying on the floor when Dave was doing the list of things.
I don’t know it just hit me, imagine MCM 10 years from now.. I feel like we’re one big car family, growing and learning together.
All love.
I'm just kidding, these guys really got me into cars. Big part of my life
Hey Marty, let me know if you would like to collaborate.
I like how each different video (mr2/vw) has its own kind of "fans". But we all know that everyone loves your videos no matter what.
MCM has two awesome builds, Tom's Turbo Garage is posting videos, and Bad Obsession has Project Binky episodes coming out so fast that they might start time traveling. Life is good, guys.
Marty, never lose that oft-misplaced optimism of yours. It sustains us like nothing else! 🤣👍
@21:41 "It's no buggy..." kicking the man when he's down... literally on the ground in the fetal position....
MOOG: Rebuilds carbie, changes fuel lines, changes brakes, ready to go.
Marty: Rebuilds entire car, car still needs work.*
Moog built nothing. He needed help
@@MrShiraaz786 Moog did the fuel system. Carburetors were out of his comfort zone so he got help. Marty needs help with the wiring. It's not Moog's fault that his car didn't need completely rebuilt.
In any event, the comment was ABOUT THE CARS NOT THE PEOPLE. Jesus.
@@MattyH1992 marty is a better mechanic
@@MrShiraaz786 I would agree with that.
This is when it pays to have good friends that know what the heck they are doing to save your ass haha 😎
The music on this is perfect, props!
I would like to see Moog wear a space suit while he chops you marty haha, just messin' the Mr2 is probably going to win. but I like to cheer for the underdog and the buggy is so much more unique
Honey BBQ Sauce at least a bubble helmet
@@PatricioGarcia1973 Moog has no choice BUT to wear a bubble helmet...
Canadian fan here. Loved your content for years. Lots of people in the comments telling you that your car isn't that rusty and making jokes, but I haven't seen anyone actually offer tips for working with rusty cars. If you can (foresight is hard), soak any bolts that look tough the night before with penetrating oil and you won't believe the difference it makes. Cheers
Thank you guys. Keeping the world sane one episode at a time ( or at least those sensible enough to subscribe to your channel). I cannot overstate how great it is to have non-COVID content to watch. You are genuinely helping the cause. Thank you!!!
YES. another perfect way to end the day. thank you MCM!

Love the new music. I forgot how much I love the soundtrack for this show.
What’s the track? Can’t find it(
I’ve always wanted to see an Air to Water intercooler set up. Thanks to Marty or Mighty, I now understand more about these. Thank you sir.
YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!! Thankyou for uploading! I've been dying to know about the MR2!!!! :D
On this episode of MCM I eat cake while quarantined and try not to have a freak out. Thanks for the continued uploads.
oh man the look on their faces when they found the melted plugins I was drying in laughter their looks was mine when I opened up my hood and looked under dash.
Don't forget to hydrate after all that drying.
So. Much. Work. Man, you have a mountain of patience. Hot tip when soldering copper joints; heat the fitting from the opposite side of where you apply your solder - the solder will literally be drawn in towards the heat. Great work, Marty!
Good tip, thank you!
As a contractor, I’m proud of your plumbing, as a car guy, I’m proud of your diligence.
When Mcm dropps a video, i drop everything
Isolation happy dance.....
Lol. Closed captioning interprets it as “ water to air intercourse” a few times.
It would have been fitting if they had done this system on TOO SEXY
HyroSexual haha
I perform water to air intercourse on myself every day.
"It was a big bin" massive laugh.
Also when lowering the car to see what's he's name sitting in the boot was also a chuckle.
Dave and Scottie are the same person in different bodies. Not only do they sound the same, they are both brilliant regarding engine management, and always so patient with M&M’s builds.
Super inspirational to watch you fabricate things and make them work. I'm doing that now on my STI with the intercooler. Love watching all of your videos!
21:25 When dave turns to you 10 minutes into netflix and chill.
I will always support any build of Marty's that beats Moog's refrigerators. 👍
As a fellow Dave, I know the struggles of the Dave. Be sure to show Dave the love.
Cheers Dave!!
*Papa Lazarou has entered chat*
*"HELLO, DAVES!"*
Thank you for explaining fully what you're doing in your videos. Once seen the explanation can watch at any point and catch on easily 🙏😁
Down, but not defeated. Show us how it's done, Marty and Dave! 💪
At 14:40 Daniel Ricardo cames in to help out with the ECU install.👊
It's not like he has anything better to do.
Gotta be honest.... I think this MR2 is going to SMASH that moon buggy! Keep up the great work Marty!
I wouldn't have a clue if I'm honest. I wouldn't be surprised either way.
I'd be surprised if they didn't throw in challenges that favor the buggy too though.
4:40 it definitely looks like Marty took his pants off
Wtf
These guys rock. Ordered a hat and got it today along with an unexpected calendar which i'll totally use..its hanging already. From Australia to Cleveland Ohio I love you guys.
It's also really cool to see how different you and Moog are. I think that's what makes MCM so interesting and what makes it work so well 👍
Can't wait to see the MR2 chop the hell out of the VW Buggy!!! You got this Martin!!
Beginning of an MCM episode: "On this episode we finish the car!"
The end of the episode: "Next episode we finish the car!"
Holy crap this car is enough to do anyone's head in. I'm expecting by the time it's done poor Marty will be sitting in the corner of the shed rocking slowly and chanting under his breath "I still like my car, i still like my car" with a dull lifeless expression on his face as he breaks out in a cold sweat and starts shivering.
Hang in there Marty, this car may be giving you the wrong end of a pineapple but victory is close!!!
I think once he drives it with some of the newer stuff bolted to it and all tuned up he'll be glad he got there in the end and will have a smile on his face when he drives it, sure its been a bit of a pig to work on, but thats just MR2's in general, the fact this has had 3 different engines in it at some point means your probably gonna have to deal with hacked wiring somewhere.
Hang in there Marty! Love Your work!
Miss Daisy really is the gift that keeps on giving.
This channel is just, he's just a business. I love it. Have no idea why I put off watching these projects for so long.
Mixing copper and aluminum in the same cooling system ... that will eventually end in corrosion and failure. Maybe it will be good enough for the short term if you don't like the car and don't plan to keep it.
It will be someone's problem some day.
Not if he uses proper inhibitors
It'll be fine if he uses a decent coolant with corrosion inhibitors and the charging system is good, if not the it'll start to do the electrolysis thing and he'll eventually have problems, but even then that'll still gonna be years down the line given how little distance MCM cars cover in mileage, and not to mention its basically a seperate system from everything else on the car, its not as if it ties into the engine coolant, so the only real issues would be the water 2 air system which you would just swap out for upgraded parts.
However i do think he will run into heatsoak issues running the car on a circuit though given the rad size and core size, it would be fine for a drag car like miss daisy when its only running flat out for 13 ish secs at a time, but i reckon he's gonna heat soak it pretty quick on a track.
@@weegaz22 Yeah, radiator size needs to be bigger, I mean, take a look at Binky's radiator, that thing is no joke.😛
I feel like this car won't survive long enough for corrosion to be an issue. Things going to blow a gasket, rings or something else long before the long term issues pop up. Hell if it can't beat the buggy it'll probably be a pancake before long!
Corrosion will be pretty instant helped along by the heat and start to eat away at the whole system and will make all parts unusable going forward... it wont take long and should be replaced ASAP
mixing aluminum and copper is a bad time :)
I bet he's going to crush the MR2 anyway. Too much grief.
Don't french fry when you should pizza or you're going to have a bad time...
Yes. But with these dimensions, a good anti corrosive and regular changing of the coolant it will last for years before it's too gunked up.
thanks for the comment, I was looking if someone had allready warned him
I am 99% sure that even toyota pink super long life coolant is not compatible with copper, and that's probably the less reagent coolant there is
Dude, ALWAYS bead roll your ends when you are going from soft line to hard line or vice versa

@@mightycarmods You can make the tool using a pair of vise-grip pliers, a big washer and either an exhaust clamp or an angle grinder :) just weld the washer in on one side and the exhaust clamp on the other so when you clamp the pipe it gets pressed in, or you can just grind into the pliers if you don't have an exhaust clamp on hand :)
8m 30s GREAT WISDOM. Thank you Martin.
This whole build has been 1 step forward, 2 steps back. Love it, Marty. Keep up the good work and content!
Dr. Ray Stantz: Everybody can relax, I found the car. Needs some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end.
Dr. Peter Venkman: How much?
Dr. Ray Stantz: Only $4800. Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring.
Haha--greatness!!
Never thought I would ever hear a car guy say "it's too fast". I know he say "safely", but still
I think it was because that Bug didn't have a roll cage or anything lol
It's only too fast because of stability or crash problems.
I thought the bug was the one that burnt to a crisp...?
@@NSUGS White s15 turned into an urn
Was quite a crisp looking car.
Atleast we got to hear the ECU get flashed lol
Man to have a Superbeetle pushing 360 hp would be rad. 120 hp in one is a good time with the right tires and gearing.
Marty: This engine is simple and easy to work on. 90s tech.
MR2: Hold my ECU
It cool to watch the two different approaches Marty and Moog take. They represent the yin and yang of car mods. Marty the do it ya selfa, trying everything he can himself with a mechanical mind, ready to work on his skill. Moog the less mechanically minded but complete enthusiast also and knows when he’s out of his depth for his skill set. It’s cool, because everyone will relate to one more and be inspired just the same
Some things, no matter how much you want it to be simple, will fight to the end.
The final result will be worth all the effort you are putting into it.
Keeping a good thought for your tribulation.
Thanks for sharing.
I once fitted a 5th gen 3SGE Beams engine in this car using the stock Beams ECU combining the mr2 loom with the Beams ECU and loom with only one Japanese schematic that didn't make any sense.
That was a nightmare 😭
Use a bit of heat when bending that 1/4" bar. It'll save the stress on the vice mounting and you'll get tighter bends. You've got the Oxy Acetylene.
Here Now good idea, thanks!!
yeah haha I saw him pullin on the bar just thinkin "Heat that sucker up and itll bend like a wet noodle!"
13:41 without the boot lid, the MR2 looks like it has a fintail like a 60s car
Quite sleek actually

Watching Marty is so relaxing. This is some ASMR for me.
Flippy uppy headlights are a pain but turbos that do their whoosy wizzy things are just awesome. I couldn't have described those two items any better myself Marty. Well done by the way especially for editing out your frustrated expletives.
