To Japan for parts! That was super dope. Anytime you guys need anything, I can get it and send it to you, absolutely no problem. I live in the Osaka, Kyoto, Suzuka area of Japan.
This is excellent. Not just the Midget mods but the trip to Japan. That grab a camera and go style reminds me of old MCM. This was really great to watch.
Old but also, only new MCM could do this. Think about it. They have a major film crew that wants to use one of their cars for a car commercial for one of their sponsors, so they have to call friends they have made literally another country and go fly over there, to pull together all the parts.... It's only by being great guys to everyone around them that all these people are willing to work with him for them to do this Looney tunes thing. Lol I love it.
@@TravisFabel I didn't really mean the whole trip thing (though thats cool too). More the whole vibe of it. The "we're off to Japan for parts" now could easily have been "we're off to supercheap" from years back. I knew it would be a great episode when they said the first step is to jack up your car. I almost got my Maaaaaaaaaaad T-shirt on in appreciation. If it still fitted...
Don't we all wish we could have a buddy in Japan to send parts to for us to come collect when we like?!?! Talk about a prime setup. That dude is awesome. 🤘🏻
🤣I'm not under 5' just a smigen over, but I was "average"ish height when I lived in Asia, I still stood out like a sore thumb, but red hair, blue eye's and a severe melanin deficiency will do that🤣
I was not expecting this episode, but wow. I'm flabbergasted, this is amazing. The fact it all fits up, your short trip to Japan and then heading home with all the parts. One of your best episodes ever.
I'm so proud of you guys , have been watching for years to see how far you've come staying true to yourselves. To be able to just jump on a plane and go get it right then haha awesome. Stay happy dudes dream big
That pipe off the exhaust reminds me of how heat works in many small piston engine aircraft. So cool to see how the engineers overcame various obstacles!
I'd honestly have watched a whole 3 part series on just the mini trip to Japan, some disrespected Japanese nose, or even just seeing you guys in an izakaya after the days work is done. But this is so awesome still, I can't wait!
I wanted to go to bed. Then McM uploads.. guess I'll stay up a little longer. Thanks for all the years of consistently awesome content hitting my eyeballs. Greetings from the Netherlands. Best offroading channnel on youtube
Hello from Central Pennsylvania, thank you for all that you do. My best friend introduced me to you about 7 years ago. He was a Subaru fan. He had a WRX outfitted with MCM stickers. He passed away 3 years ago and i miss him, but when i watch MCM and listen to Moog's music i feel as he's enjoying it with me. Once again, thank you for what you do.
This is so good!! I never thought I'd be this excited for a midget haha can't wait for the next episode!! Also hanging out to see the end of the levorg build!! Keep up the good work lads !! 🤘😎
You see how much they have learned over the years. Preventative work, no specialist, and very knowledgeable. I know my opinion doesn't matter, but I am very proud of them. Love the episode!
The song from 11:47 is awesome! "My car goes chitty chitty bang bang" 😂🤣 How good is it that you two can just jump on a plane and do an emergency trip to Japan to grab just what you need! You guys are truly living the dream.👍
@@DaveDoes_ Maybe I missed that although I can remember Moog singing 'my car goes pshhht' once for a short while.....I think that was when they turboed Marty's Kei truck. Was that it?
I finished watching this episode and had a massive smile on my face. This one just made me happy. Thanks for brightening up and otherwise dreary Monday.
scrolling through my subscriptions and mighty mods are the only major channel that isn't taking cheap cars off the market and making videos about them for clout. they can afford to do cool stuff so they do it and i appreciate that rather than pinching economy cars off marketplace that someone else might be in need of. as the channel got bigger so did the projects and they don't pretend to be poor n destroy budget vehicles. THANK YOU
This was a fantastic episode! Brings back memories of your old style MCM building the mini! Seeing all the comments people are fizzing for this project boiz! Can't wait to hear some waaaarp pshhhht from a unique one of a kind 1L turbo that's using all factory Daihatsu parts (it's the midget Daihatsu should've made). I got a sad face that I need to wait for the next episode
this is AWESOME! this video is exactly why i started watching MCM and exactly why i will continue watching MCM thank you marty and moog , absoloute legends both on and off screen.
I have been watching you guys for a looong time and this episode is one of the best I've seen. This is truly grassroots hot rodding at its finest. Well done mates!! Can't wait for the next episode.
If the exhaust is blocked off from it and it's just connected to it with a dead end, it's likely a preheater. They used to use these on the cars in the US back in the 1970s and early '80s... Often the hose was pretty short because it just had to go from the top of the exhaust manifold heat shield to the bottom of the intake snorkel on the v8s.
The hose between the exhaust and the intake is pretty common on carbureted or throttle body injection engines. Not only does the vaporization of the fuel and resulting temperature drop lead to icing, but the low temperature also causes the fuel to condense in the manifold and head. Since liquid gasoline doesn’t burn, condensed gasoline doesn’t burn. So, they use the heat surrounding the exhaust pipe to warm up the intake air. Pretty much every carbureted car will have some form of this. Some will run heat ducting from the exhaust to the intake. Some will run exhaust through a separate passage in the base of the intake manifold. Was not expecting to see a trip to Japan in this video. I’m heading back there this summer (only my second time going) and this made me super excited to see it again. Such an amazing place!
At 6:14 you guys got the gist of it. There is a outer shell around the exhaust pipe (or a shroud of some sort around the exhaust manifold on other cars). The intake of the car has a temperature controlled door somewhere before the air cleaner that allows the engine to draw in some of that hot air (not actual exhaust gases, just air from that exhaust warmed chamber) into the engine. The long and the short of it is that it helps keep the carb from icing up in colder weather and at first start.
Hello guys, we doing some thing that has never been done before and guess what. We also desided to make it extra harder but giving our selfs a 10 day window! 🤣🤣 you guys never disappoint at all 👏👏👏
Maybe not Lee. Media has absurd deadlines. Most producers have a great idea after it's practically too late to implement. "A issue isn't really an issue, if I can throw money at it to make it go away"
I just want to understand the production of these commercials, scripting, location scouting, scheduling crew and equipment, months of planning... Moog also probably spent weeks preparing the music track for the advert. Leaves the main piece, the car till the week before... EVERYTIME!!! Or is it the production company that just dumps it on their lap each time. Like this is the third or fourth time right!
@@boxhead6177 we dont know whats required of us until a few weeks out, only once the idea for the ad has been locked in do we know what kind of car we can put together. No fake deadline drama here, why would we need to pretend that? So the comments section can whinge about it? no thanks!
@@mightycarmods Cool. I don't believe in fake deadline drama, but thats such a tight and unforgiving turn around... that either shows a lot of confidence and enthusiasm for everyone that it will work. Or your all just crazy to do it year after year. Have you ever had to delay a production schedule and had any close calls that scared you guys?
I've been watching you guys since the beginning. This is the first time I've commented. I even took part in making your turbo 86 possible. But this, this is by far the best thing you guys have ever done 🙌 great feels and vibes.
Over here in the US, a big block is normally 7 or 8 liters. So funny that 1L is a big block! Super cool project, super awesome how you can get other Daihatsu parts and piece together a one of a kind truck!
Way way OT, but carrot/celery/onion is soffrito in Italian, and yeah it came from there originally. It's funny that Martin used the Tuscan word "sugo" rather than ragu.
I'm a late 1960's US Cab over van, pickup fan, love that lil truck...and I'm falling in love with the new EV cabover pickup/van line, the "Canoo" Ultimate Parts run, lol
Yo Moog the music track that you start at time stamp 08:13 is straight fire. It reminds me of Amon Tobin. One thing that I've always said is your guys’ positioning and choice of music styles per episode has always been great. I'm not sure which one of you edits these, but the flowing in and out of narrative voice, time lapses, and music switches really helps me stay engaged. The overall flow of your videos is like listening to a great jazz album. The peaks and valleys are just in the right spots. Keep up the good work guys.❤🔥
You guys always do awesome stuff.....As cool as this is, it needs more. Busted knuckle films on TH-cam. They built 2. used a totaled Corvette drivetrain in one. Made foot wide fender flares, LS motor...... The other one ended up with 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer......and twin turbo LS motor. They called it stomper, and it's the coolest mini truck I've ever seen.
holy shit, thats the shit MCM makes it what it is , making weird little cars look and go mad, even flyig over just real quick to make sure you got the parts , love it !
That Hose feeds warm air upto the air box to reduce carb icing, there's a flap which depending on car is either auto or manually operated to allow the warm air through
Okk, i never was in to these builds, the kei and the midget, but with this specific video i got hyped af. Trying to match stuff and actually working out. Good job.
So I wasn’t dreaming on Australia Day when I came onto the Hume Fwy just after the Glenrowan BP from the snow road and saw the midget on a trailer being towed by the Kei truck…? Was wondering what you guys were doing down in Vic with it… We waved madly from our bright yellow machine going the other way…can’t wait to see the ad, cheers guys!
A lot of carby cars have those hoses. It was to help with cold starts by pulling air past exhaust to heat up for combustion. Typically, there would be a vacuum valve to close it off once warm enough.
Instant like lads! I admire and envy you, not only for the interesting projects and cars you work on, but for the journeys and people you meet! I would love to visit Japan one day...Best of wishes to you, from Bulgaria!
This project is insanely exciting for me. Well, all of your Kei projects, really. I started off with Skylines and Silvias, which brought me your way, but it seems our tastes have aligned, and I'm getting into smaller and smaller cars to bring my childhood nostalgia back (The first car I ever drove was a Messerschmitt KR200, or something similar) Thank you for giving me even more ammunition to pull the trigger on buying a Kei van or ute in the future. Hopefully when you dudes hit up NZ again, I can come out and let you drive the new Jimny, or take a perv at my busted up GTS4 coupe.
Ad from Classic Trader. "1994 | Volkswagen Corrado VR6 2.9 - AUD 12,258 - Time for you to own the 1990's Legend?" .... Moog? Theye even call it a LEGEND in the ad! Love ❤ the channel!
My Lada's got one of those hoses, its used to warm up the intake air on a cold morning! Mine's not hooked up and I never bothered though, despite the Canadian Winters...
Nobody in the world has ever done this. We have 10 days, and have to go to Japan for parts. Absolutely great. Can't wait to see the results of this build!
Great job guys! This is the kind of episode I love to see. I can imagine this one inspiring someone to pick up a spanner for the first time. BTW, I already have a fully modified Midget. If you need any tips, I'll send you my PS1 memory card. 🤣
LOL!! 🤣 You guys always crack me up! Yes, that's a preheater/warmup device for the air intake in cold weather. More common on older vehicles with less advanced fuel injection systems in the 80's and 90's. As for the laying down of the engine, definitely look to the differences! VW people have been stuffing vertical inline 4 cylinders horizontal in Vanagons for a long time.
As someone who's putting an EJ-VE in an L501 cuore (originally an ED20) this is an insane project to embark on. Hopefully you have an easier time with the electronics side of things, it's been a huge faff for me. All the mechanical bits bolt right in, it's still on the ED subframe, shorter ratio ED box, but every single cable on the loom is different and it's been a massive ballache trying to get everything wired up. Good luck on the build guys, can't wait to see the end result!
Small bigblock swaps are cool. I have bigblock swapped my Fiat 850 from 849cc to 986cc, went from 39hp to a massive 56hp, with more performance parts on its way taking it to around 70hp!!! Such a monster
2:25 my man Martin really said “I’m hope 🤞” preach it buddy
ปีที่แล้ว
Just casually going to Japan to pickup up parts that would otherwise take too long to get there is a level of flexing you didn't need, but we all loved. Keep it up!
I stopped watching a few months ago as there are so many channels now and I can’t keep up with them all. I must say I have learned my lesson. This is awesome. I’ll be watching back episodes I missed! Sorry boys.
I think a motorcycle engine swap could make that little truck really fun. I think the power/weight would put that in supercar territory if you picked something spicy. Just some food for thought.

@@TravisFabel Not really, Marty once jumped on a plane to the UK JUST to pick up a Supercharger for Moog's Mini.
When they are taking apart the engine you can see the T&T3 car through a gap in the fence, I think they did this on their bigger trip for that.
The quick Japan trip was mind blowing guys, didn’t see that coming. Wouldn’t mind watching a longer episode, specially in this case, it was AWESOME ❤
I know right! Imagine being able to fly to Japan and buy parts cause you cant wait for shipping
Yep this is a level I would love to be at in life. Lol. The guys are enjoying life to the fullest. Well deserved as well.
This for me personally is one of the best things you’ve ever done. Because it’s different
Definitely, this is IT 😊 DIFFERENT NUGGETS ARE BEST
Agree, PEAK MCM
You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
That title will always be Miss Daisy.
@@TravisFabel You forgot it was the hyphenated "Overnight parts from Ja-pan."
Don't we all wish we could have a buddy in Japan to send parts to for us to come collect when we like?!?! Talk about a prime setup. That dude is awesome. 🤘🏻

Keeping that power to weight ratio 😉😁

Well this episode took a huge detour, I wasn't expecting that... 👍👍
im so glad to be seeing classic MCM content. turboing an old car, driving and buying one in Japan. the stuff ive been missing

That exactly!

ea81 from a subaru brumby/ brat is the same. believe its an aircraft engine also
Now that's what I call a proper episode! It has been a long time since you guys made me stuck to an episode of yours! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Flying to Japan for parts is pretty freakin cool! 😁
Nick Robinson would be proud.
What a fantastic episode and project, I really hope the Tommykaira at 15:33 is yours and will be on its way to Australia at some point 😍.
I was wondering what that was, some mad japanese dudes really thought: "What if Porsche made a superkei-car?"
Amazing car with a brand that has incredible history in the tuning scene. Wish they got more of it on footage.
I wonder if that is Available under SEVS. Otherwise that can only be brought in as Race only car.
It's ours. Yes it's coming to Australia. Will be doing a full resto series on it.
That's fantastic, you have a new subscriber (in the UK) 👍.
Impromptu trip to Japan made me grin from ear to ear. You guys are awesome!
Man the old school mcm energy in this video was AWESOME! cant wait for the next episode on this little D
This may have to go to my top 10 best ever MCM projects ever! I cant wait to see the next episode, well done fellas.
I'd honestly have watched a whole 3 part series on just the mini trip to Japan, some disrespected Japanese nose, or even just seeing you guys in an izakaya after the days work is done. But this is so awesome still, I can't wait!
There's 3 turbos and temples already 🤔
This might be my favourite episode yet - thank you for going back to your roots every now and then and doing cool old Japanese stuff like this!

The exhaust hose is probably a preheater to help get things up to OT, awesome video dudeZ!
Or it's some kind of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system to help improve fuel economy.
If the exhaust is blocked off from it and it's just connected to it with a dead end, it's likely a preheater. They used to use these on the cars in the US back in the 1970s and early '80s...

Y'all are legends for just hopping on a plane to go wrench in Japan. I bet the relief seeing the box in 1 piece back home was huge!
Way way OT, but carrot/celery/onion is soffrito in Italian, and yeah it came from there originally. It's funny that Martin used the Tuscan word "sugo" rather than ragu.
Fun to watch! Exactly what I'm doing for my trackday S60! Got parts from 5 different generations and models all bolted together soon.

Damn. Best build I’ve seen in a while. Don’t know why Daihatsu swaps make me so stoked but they do. Can’t wait till the next one.
Great video as always! The exhaust hose is an old cold start helper, warm air saturates easier. They show up often on carbureted V8 Chevys.

They called it stomper, and it's the coolest mini truck I've ever seen.
1:38 It is indeed called a mirepoix in french, and it is called soffritto in italian. It's a base for sauces, stews, risotto,...

15:33 - ZOMG! Tommy kaira ZZ parked out front. 😲
It's ours. Will be coming to Australia for a full resto series on our channel.
This is awesome!! I love the dedication and how the "make it happen and get it done" spirit from the original videos is still the driving force today.
You guys are legends for not cutting that plane trip into the next episode! Love this already, I can tell it’s going to be an epic series! :D
holy shit, thats the shit MCM makes it what it is , making weird little cars look and go mad, even flyig over just real quick to make sure you got the parts , love it !
i absolutely love the concept of tripling the displacement of a vehicle. I used to watch Paul Hogans late night show
Truly awesome swap and series! Parts from Japan are just awesome and to strip that engine in the driveway ….basically down to the BONES….amazing
That Hose feeds warm air upto the air box to reduce carb icing, there's a flap which depending on car is either auto or manually operated to allow the warm air through
Bunch of American cars have that exhaust hose, it was used with carburetors to help start ups in cold climates. Later it was used with emissions.
Hot air duct from exhaust goes to intake and helps vaporise fuel when engine is cold. Had one in my 86 civic
Marty Moog you guys just plain crazy mate got to love the dedication and inthusiasm hurry up with the next episode 😁cheers from broken hill
Love this conversion and can't wait to see the end result. Great video guys !!

A lot of carby cars have those hoses. It was to help with cold starts by pulling air past exhaust to heat up for combustion. Typically, there would be a vacuum valve to close it off once warm enough.
Instant like lads! I admire and envy you, not only for the interesting projects and cars you work on, but for the journeys and people you meet! I would love to visit Japan one day...Best of wishes to you, from Bulgaria!
This project is insanely exciting for me. Well, all of your Kei projects, really.
I started off with Skylines and Silvias, which brought me your way, but it seems our tastes have aligned, and I'm getting into smaller and smaller cars to bring my childhood nostalgia back (The first car I ever drove was a Messerschmitt KR200, or something similar)
Thank you for giving me even more ammunition to pull the trigger on buying a Kei van or ute in the future.
Hopefully when you dudes hit up NZ again, I can come out and let you drive the new Jimny, or take a perv at my busted up GTS4 coupe.
What a cool project. This is like Gran Turismo 4 in real life !
Long time fan, you guys are awesome. The best quality content on youtube hands down !
Best car show on the planet. Huge respect to work that goes into putting a video like this together.
The hose de-ices the carb, and potentially the other side is used for cabin heat. Commonly used on horizontally opposed engine aircraft.

Love ❤ the channel!
OH MY GOD what is that Tommykaira doing there at 15:33!!! EPIC.
I'm so excited about this build! Feels like I'm back in Gran Turismo!
Tommy Kaira ZZ is ours. Will be coming to Australia for a full resto series on our channel.
@@curatedjdm525 omg that's epic! Thank you for the reply!
My Lada's got one of those hoses, its used to warm up the intake air on a cold morning!
Mine's not hooked up and I never bothered though, despite the Canadian Winters...
LOVE your commitment and passion to just get things done. Amazing build guy's good luck.
7:33 not them saying good job at the same time 😂 ace video as always
Well done guys
I always look forward the Supercheap builds and filming of adds. Looking forward to the next episode 😀
@15:35 Wow, is that a Tommykaira on the right? Brings me back to Gran Turismo 2 days!
It's ours. Will be coming to Australia for a full resto series on our channel.
I'm so stoked for this build. Hands down one of the best videos y'all have put out!
Nice Guys Ive been hoping for midget upgrade videos, made my week thank you
Found you guys from Roadklll. I love you guys! Now a lifelong fan. East Coast U.S.A.
That exhaust tube probably goes to a valve that recycles warm air to help bring the engine up to temp on cold status. Have one on my Nissan d21.
it has a pipe from the exhaust to send hot air to the engine to help the carb with cold starts i had the same thing in my old subaru leone DL
Dank is gonna love this episode. I love it too, what an awesome build.
Nobody in the world has ever done this. We have 10 days, and have to go to Japan for parts. Absolutely great. Can't wait to see the results of this build!
Great job guys! This is the kind of episode I love to see. I can imagine this one inspiring someone to pick up a spanner for the first time.
BTW, I already have a fully modified Midget. If you need any tips, I'll send you my PS1 memory card. 🤣
Every time I see this little legend I wish I still had my PS1, Gran Turismo made a kick ass decision and won my heart with that inclusion.
LOL!! 🤣 You guys always crack me up! Yes, that's a preheater/warmup device for the air intake in cold weather. More common on older vehicles with less advanced fuel injection systems in the 80's and 90's. As for the laying down of the engine, definitely look to the differences! VW people have been stuffing vertical inline 4 cylinders horizontal in Vanagons for a long time.
As someone who's putting an EJ-VE in an L501 cuore (originally an ED20) this is an insane project to embark on. Hopefully you have an easier time with the electronics side of things, it's been a huge faff for me. All the mechanical bits bolt right in, it's still on the ED subframe, shorter ratio ED box, but every single cable on the loom is different and it's been a massive ballache trying to get everything wired up. Good luck on the build guys, can't wait to see the end result!
Small bigblock swaps are cool.
I have bigblock swapped my Fiat 850 from 849cc to 986cc, went from 39hp to a massive 56hp, with more performance parts on its way taking it to around 70hp!!! Such a monster
MCM: Goes back to Japan to get parts for a truck they bought in Japan
Me: Goes back to eBay to get parts for a car I bought on Facebook
2:25 my man Martin really said “I’m hope 🤞” preach it buddy
Just casually going to Japan to pickup up parts that would otherwise take too long to get there is a level of flexing you didn't need, but we all loved.
Keep it up!
I stopped watching a few months ago as there are so many channels now and I can’t keep up with them all. I must say I have learned my lesson. This is awesome. I’ll be watching back episodes I missed! Sorry boys.
Very cool video. Every time My Car Goes Pshhh Pshhh my two kids (B4, and G2) get up and dance. They love your video too!
I think a motorcycle engine swap could make that little truck really fun. I think the power/weight would put that in supercar territory if you picked something spicy. Just some food for thought.
Amazing work as always guys! I love all of the kei car videos, keep it up
YES! you listened. More KEI truck content. Thank you so much!
