- The engine is out of the Yugo and we need help. We're going to need some fabrication in the future and I'm no welder.

I’m watching youuuu 😂😂 🇺🇸🇧🇦it’s onnn
Careful young feller! I may have to block you! lol
@@OldeCarrGuy Heckkk we might be pretty close in age 😁
Hello OCG I Wanted to let you know I am following your YUGO Racing Buddy on his Build just wanted to pass this along he's reinforcing the body and frame and you might also because I guess the little car's aren't designed for extra power and it might become a Deathtrap. And about the brake booster setup Google the old Chevy, dodge, Ford Van's from the 70-80's a lot of the booster and masters cylinders were setup sideways it might give you some ideas 💡
Oh I'm definitely gonna be adding strength to the car!
As an experienced Yugo tuner, I have to warn you that first you have to strengthen the body because there is a weak inclination to twist and fix the suspension, then think about the engine... and please don't put 15' wheels, the Yugo then looks like a Lada Niva 4x4.
Allen from Kompas Garage wants to race with you
Yes! Allen and I have ben in contact. I do plan on adding structure to the Yugo for sure. I guess with only 50-ish horsepower they weren't too worried about regidity!
You know if you cut the fire wall out along with the dash windshield two front seats and floor you could TOTALLY swap in a big block Chevy 😃
Yeah, but I don't have a BBC, just a ill ricer!
yo yo OCG ummsay its good to see your still going i watch often HUGO little out of left field huh haa i am not that far from original hugo factory,,anyway i still have that journey SUV thing i have a few questions for you when you have a moment thanks maaan
Keep watching buddy! Lots to come!
good stuff.. I'll be watching!
Thanks Ken! Preciate ya!
Why not adapt the yota k member into the Yugo? Might be easier than starting from scratch. Loving the Yugota
I'm looking at all options at this point!
Personally I blame squirrels....
Even a squirrel would have a hard time squeezing itself in there!😆
Right!
@@glennnickerson8438 lol indeed
I have an idea once you and Kompas get decently started on your Yugo's that you make a cartoonish Yugo race car shirt and charge $5 extra for them and use that money as a prize for the winner to donate to a charity!
Would you buy one if we did?
@@OldeCarrGuy Absolutely and maybe $5 extra is a bit much per shirt, but you get the idea. Maybe you can poll the audience in a video to see what they think of it's and if you would able to sell them that way.
❤ I’m in 100% and thank you Jason for support!
I mean this sincerely: love your drawings/diagrams! I think we should both move to NH and open a hot rod shop. I'll be the fabricator
Let's make it Canadia and you got a deal! Free healthcare you know!
This looks super fun and the right kinda wierd. Back in 08 I swapped a 1jz into a 2001 miata for a high-school senior shop project and bein hooked on doing wierd swaps on wierd things. Amd are yugos as tough and durable as you would assume coming from commie block ussr
Not particularly. The Toyota drivetrain will be the toughest part of the car. I appreciate your appreciation for weird!
I really like you Yugo series. If you type in Yugo Relly car you will see how you can modify them. I’m from Serbia originally where this car was being produced, last one was built in 2008 and they were building Yugo’s for 40 years without any changes almost
I did see that video before. I know there is a lot to do to make these cars stronger. I will be addressing that. Thanks for watching my friend.
Swaps never go exactly as planned. In the end, as long as you can access the dip stick, it’s all good.
LOL! I'm sure there'll be a few changes, but it's all part of the process!
Bad Chad or better yet Halfass customs Brent is awesome at fabrication
Likely way outta my league! lol
Howdy,
Seeing this sure brings back memories of doing weird engine swaps "back in the day". :)
Love it.
That K-member shouldn’t be a big hassle for a fabricator. Hope one shows up who is just as ah… er… “special” when it comes to liking this stuff.
I’m keeping an eye on the competition for you. ;)
Right on! I told you I was starting! Now you gotta come help!
Yes, you did and I believed that you would get to it.
Trust me... if things were a little different (health-wise) I would be glad to help. Instead I'll have to watch the process online.
Carry on!
What's a used Yugo engine worth I wonder?
From what I see, around $400 usd.
Not really sure you are even bothering. So much of those cars were cheap junk. Except for the bucket seats! Guess that's because they had to be comfortable because you had to wait for the tow truck. I had a set of those seats, they set pretty darn good 👍.
Fair enough! But that the main reason for the swap, reliability of Toyota.
@@OldeCarrGuy
Cool.
Ever heard the joke?
Guy goes into the parts store.
"I'm lookin to get a gas cap for my Yugo!"
Parts clerk replied "ok that sounds like a fair trade."
@@jamesdavis9774 lol! I have heard that one and many MANY more!
Lean the struts in an inch to gain camber
You don't think that would wear the tires?
Good fun to watch. I actually test drove a brand new Yugo when I was in the market. Ended up with a lightly used Chevette instead. Maybe one day will give one a shot. I like the looks of them. Would probably be tempted by a rabbit diesel instead.
I thought about diesel until the price doubled! lol
Maybe the "wire tie reservoir retainer" was factory from Yugo... I wonder if Yugo could supply aTSB to verify that! 😆
lol TSB< Attach 2 Yugo Branded zip ties and cinch to 25 ft lbs!
I just binge watched the entire Yugo series. Great work man. Personally I wish you kept the stock engine but hey still an awesome show. I cant wait for more.
Thank you very much!
Watching this swap with great interest!
Look at older Dodge Tradesman vans for a sideways mounted master cylinder-that would probably be a plan for the Yugo unit to reside in that spare tire area.
Thanks for the tips!
The suspension setup is almost more interesting than the engine, it actually seems like you have a decent amount of room under the hood the spare tire cavity really helps
100% She'll be a fine rig!
Consider cutting bits out of the Toyota and grafting them into the Yugo in ine piece to preserve the geometry.
That's the plan. Use as much of the Echo as possible. That will be in the 3rd video!
Can't wait to see it rip!
Me either!
