My name's Matt Urch and I own and run Urchfab welding and fabrication.
I specialise in custom automotive fabrication from building roll cages to complete one off builds. I built the worlds most unique and oldest drift car known as 'The Drift Rod' which can be found on my channel.
So if you're into grinding, welding, fabricating, etc, you're in the right place! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Looks beautiful and I didn't realise you could use a router on the inlet ports like that. What a lovely result. Cheers.
Aluminum works well with woodworking tools. The only thing that you must do is use a lubricant like WD40 as he did or stick wax which is actually a superior solution. Paint stick wax on a carbide table saw blade and you can cut aluminum all day long. Walter makes a stick wax called Alumi-Kut that works great as does Relton which makes Stik-Kut. Both of these are wax sticks.
Yeah when he had it in his hand I was like router.. for what? I suppose it wood work on aluminum too.
That just made the whole video for me! I would have never thought to do that. Well done!
11 out of 10 on that ace router job.
That was indeed very clever.
Literally blew my mind when I saw the entry to the runners.
That looks awesome, you should put an "Urchfab" logo on it, perhaps cut out of another bit of ally and welded on the top of the plenum
From the plasma cutter perhaps
He should look into Etching it, pretty easy to do and looks great
Yes! Electrochemical etch, just need a vinyl sticker with the part you want etched removed. Would look killer, as well as advertise his skills
Like a gloooove!
0:58 lookout for that belt going into the grinder though
I really love using wood tools on aluminum. I never would have thought of using a router to make the radius like that and it seems to work like a charm.
All that and not a single word. Excellent work Matt.
You're a legend sir. I need to build one of these in the next few weeks for a 2JZ car, and I love the way you did that transition! Fantastic work!
That's a work of art matey - nice job - thank you for sharing!
There was something deeply satisfying about watching you just working away on this... love your work :-)
Honestly love the work, you just got another follow. Really nice approach with everything.
Wow, though you had got exclusive first play of a brand new aphex twin track. Love it, keep it up.
That is just too cool! So inspiring to watch you fab up stuff
Just wanted to say love your introduction sequence. Probably the best on TH-cam.
Nice, I like the idea of routing round the runners!👍🏻
Love you ingenuity and skill. Enjoyed this style of video for variety. Always jealous of those that can cut that straight with a grinder
Porting with a router... Very neat. Love it!
As always, super work, Matt!! Looks absolutely killer 👍🏽👍🏽
Not into Saab engines but respect. Good job. Keep getting after it. I love that.
Cool, I like that you used the factory piece to start with, good idea
Very neat Matt! High reuse of OEM parts, smooth adaptations and passages. It ought to go like two penny bottle rocket! I could weld- 30 years ago; what you do is way different than the stick for this that and the other I learned and didn't keep up- I will therefore commenting re your welding beyond the fact that your fabrication skills and ability to visualize are fantastic! Hope all the big problems are fast becomming much smaller- knowing your work I feel confident you will put them all to rest. Thank you for another peek at how the magic gets done!
Looks awesome as usual Matt.... well done!!!
Nice job Matt! Especially welding those old dirty intake runners! Turned out great. I've always wanted to build intakes!
Much factory cleanness. Approval from the crowd. we likeee.
Nice work Matt. Thanks, as always, for this vid.
Skills👌 alot better than buying one, so much satisfaction when you make something yourself. Top work and nice welds keep it up 💪💪
And just subbed to the channel 💪💪
Work of art mate and will sound beautiful when you get it running 😉
An absolute work of art. Brilliant
SAAB brought me here. Craftmanship kept me here. Nice work. I do agree the sentiments about that kink though. In any case, that 'rolla has to be a different kind of a beast with the SAAB god block innit.
That is a thing of beauty. Great fabrication skills, top job fella
Looks amazing. Master craftsman at work
Fantastic piece of work once again 👍
Love your work mate! good stuff
So cool, the intake looks great
That looks brilliant fella! Proper job!!!
Looks awesome! Looking forward to more videos on this car!
That is just beautiful!! Some great quality there.. 👌😍
Stunning work!
Awesome to watch! You made it look easy
What a superb job mate 👍🏻
Lovely work, Matt
Thank you for your time and effort
Amazing as always Matt.
Quality fabrication and great install!
And here's me trying to make a Rover turbo intake adapt to a zetec in my Escort after 2yrs of thinking ! Here's Matt cranks a intake out in an afternoon lol , great stuff 👍
Thats PG 18 welding right there, love it!
Brilliant workmanship
I didn't realize how much I missed these old style of videos, just getting sh!t done. Good job 👍.
Philo Beddoe agree, not many people just get it done like that
Very nice work!
I literally just searched your channel thinking I've not seen an upload from matt in a while. Good timing 👌
Ditto!
Super cool, Matt!
Beautiful work fella. Really got to bust out my TIG soon and brush up on my Ali welding, been too long.
Nice,you made it look real easy...
Excellent stuff!
Beautifully done!
Master craftsman at work 👍😎
Until the cutting disc explodes and in bed its self in him due to not having the guard fitted
Is this what you come on the internet to do?
Excellent work. Maybe next time fully port your runners when the plenum is removed. Keep some taper to them also. You could have made the plenum angle out towards the right fender and aim the throttle towards the intercooler outlet. Keep up the good work.
Looks so sick!
Really rad!!!
You got too be proud of that effort🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀
Thanks for sharing.🤓
Great fab work. Love the tip using a wood router for porting. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Beautiful lad top quality work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fabulous conversion.
Very impressive work.
That was bad ass man. amazing work I wish i new how to weld aluminum.
Beaut work Matt. You're making we want to build a twin carb manifold for the little Datto.😃
I loved watching this mainly because of how the video is sped up and ghe footsteps have a cartoonish sound to them when he's moving around the shop 🤣
That router job on the runners to the collector is freaking amazing
Job's a good 'un!! Nice job, the welds look great!!
Brilliant as ever. That was excellent!
Oh Matty you've done it again. You are a Genius Mate. Give yourself a raise you're definitely worth it. Billy J...…. OZ
Nice job! I love welding ally. Watching made me want to go to the garage and stack some dimes.
awesome work,as usual !
Awesome job! Was hoping it would end with a start up of the engine though. Shortening the runners of the intake will move the peak power higher in the rpm range, but at the cost of a little bit of torque. Curious how the tuning might need adjusted with the drastic increase in plenum volume too.
awesome work! well done!
Looks sick!
Awesome job,
Loved this video 👍🏼
I wouldn’t mind having the same for my B235r engine
That really is well done, cheers matt
Class workmanship
Top Work Sir!
Perfect job bro
Awesome craftsmanship..
Ufff! Clean job man 👌
Cheers
I love those speeded up videos. (It was speeded up, wasn't it??)
No, not sped up at all. Matt is a VERY fast worker
If only I could work that fast.
Charge by the hour at those speeds. Bargain
Very impressed, a masterpiece!
Very nice work 👍
Manifold looks awesome, if I was you I will upgrade the piece between the inter cooler and the throttle body later. Nice job mate 🏁👍
Nice work there, I would suggest that you should have added some additional material around each intake though to make the bell mouth more pronounced to improve flow even more. Great use of a router!
Super travail 👍👍👍
Nice work bro
Very nice mate 👍
Respect! Wish i could just get up and do that, next time you make one you should make one with a pre-chamber for equal distribution of air to all cylinders and a signature engraved on it instead of a logo which will probably end up changing, just my 2 cents
Proper job, cheers from NZ.
Nice job!!
Well done mate
That's awesome great job 👍🏾👍🏾
Absolutely brilliant
Magnificent engineering 🇬🇧
Absolutely brilliant 🤩
Amazing job
Ótimo trabalho!!! 🇧🇷
DAAAAAM! That looks awesome!
Maybe an UrchFab skull logo laser cut out of the plenum top and backed off inside with some sheet aluminium... Harder to bend I guess, but would have finished it off perfectly.
