I came to talk trash, but it looks like you guys have that covered. LOL :P
Talk Trash? "Its a good car!"👍
Oh snap! Hah!
hahah i love when VW guys talk trash on american muscle!!! (just so you know, i daily a mk3 vr6...... haha)
@@craigsawyer6453 LOL I know. I didn't really have much trash to talk HA! Im hyped for the race
@@ghomerhust HAHA All in good fun.. There is something ya gotta love about ripping a burnout or donut!!
Guys, if you're still fiending for more build content, our mortal enemy Charles the Humble Mechanic has his video right here, and it's honestly a doozy: th-cam.com/video/EvujdAEbe2g/w-d-xo.html
U should have put a flex pipe in between the two banks/ in middle on the crossover pipe by oil pan
Flex pipe @10:35
You should pin this comment to the top so others can see it!
I wanna see more slapped-together builds like this. Feels so much more relatable lol
these budget challenges will _always_ be more fun to me than "expensive fast car goes fast and nothing goes wrong whatsoever; remember to like and subscribe!"
the timeline captions are gold, whoever put those in needs a raise
I have my guess on the other asian ben
Glad to know im not the only one who appreciated them too💀💀
I'm happy to see that I wasn't the only one who appreciates it
I couldn't agree more. Its hilarious yet awesome.
It was probably asian Ben 😂😂😂
You know what, 1 video a week is plenty.
Good content like this is well worth a weekly wait 👍🏻
Bens friend saying “I’m Ben friends I’m here to fix it I guess” was classic 😂
You can't exactly be thrilled about extracting studs tbh
Ben singlehandedly tig welding an entire turbo setup for an LS is awesome. Y'all are an inspiration!
You guys are becoming my favorite automotive channel. The content this channel puts out is based, self-aware, and free from hype bs.
2 Bens and SavageGeese are the trifecta of beautiful automotive cinematography. I love it!
The production value of your videos has always punched way above its weight class. Best car channel on youtube right now.
If roadkill can absolutely destroy a 800 buck chrome header and lose no power you're fine😂
I came to the comments to write this exact comment haha
Thinking the exact same thing. Haha.
I was waiting for people to try to say it's going to lose power lol
@@howlingmadmatt nah clearly many of us came here after Motortrend abandoned us and hid behind a paywall
Right? “I’ve seen tests done on this” = I also watch roadkill and engine masters
“Work cut out for us…” pure gold 3:19
Do you guys need a drill press? I think you guys need a drill press :)
Great work! I can't wait to see how this goes!
I forgot Ben could weld. Nice!
🤣
the biggest compliment I can give is this is my favorite series you guys have done so far, even if it's about a catfish camaro. i love the editing, the acting, and music in this video. really well done video
@GIVEAWAY-871 shut up
Definitely get some subframe connectors on that fbody. The t-top cars flex a lot more over the hard top versions. They're pretty cheap and really make the cars feel 10x more planted. Oh and you can box in those rear lower control arms and panhard bar with some steel plates for cheap traction improvements. Love fbody cars. Haha
Great job on the TIG Torch Ben! Poor Fit up has to be the hardest thing to work around.
One thing you get good at in the Midwest is extracting broken exhaust hardware. You need an oxy-acetylene torch boys, it makes all the difference.
it’s inspiring watching you guys just go at fabricating and doing custom stuff. I have a hard time just doing simple bolt-on mods in my garage 😂
This is becoming a very cool and interesting series !
That pun at 3:20... 🤣
It's gonna blow up but sick build so far can't wait to see finished project 🙌
Thanks for watching and commenting, ❤you have been randomly selected from comments as winner for today's giveaway hit me up via the digits above to claim prize.......... 🎁🎁🎁🎁
For as big as those holes were that boy did a great job ☺️
I love this series! Keep up the challenges with Charles! These are just great!
I came to this channel strangely through the Cars and Bids Evo video..
I'm bingeing everything! Your build vids are great.
Love these challenge episodes between the two channels, both amazing shows, keep up the great work.
Hopefully you will have tires that can grip the road. Stay safe out there.
Very good video!!! The step by step build footage is the best content!!
Love these build off series
great look at the turbo mod - a testament to ls potential #blown
Heavy on the fab!
Did I miss where Short Ben gained TIG welding skills?? 😄
I looked up "quick and dirty turbo kit" and this video came up. Excellent work so far! I love it
Ben is more of a fabricator than I thought.
I love these build-offs. By far my favorite content that you guys make! can't get enough.
I love tall Ben's return.
tall ben is a diabetic! i saw his dexcom sensor on his arm when he was fixing the broken manifold studs! my wife uses dexcom with her t-slim insulin pump. badass hardware, and costs more than the CamEro did!
@@ghomerhust fyi dexcom sensor doesn't always mean diabetic. Some people like to really monitor their glucose levels
I like seeing how you involve others in your build. I never know how to effectively break up the work. Looks like you got "the turbo guy", "the muscle", etc
Remember to put a good filter on turbo because of autocross challenge. A lot of dirt can go inside tubo if u not protect
Shout out to David for being a fellow member of the #diabeticsquad!
Not me yelling "Dexcom!" at the screen 🤣
Man I cannot wait for new videos to drop 😂😂 I just love builds like this
Well this escalated quickly! I can’t wait to see the results
just out of curiosity, what made a turbo the choice over something like a supercharger?
I'd imagine a supercharger being cheaper to put on and having better throttle response then a massive turbo which would in theory help for the autocross events and off the line for the drag race.
Ben, your content is so good. I’ve been following since your build thread on one of the zx2 forums back in the day (I was in high school so roughly 10 years ago, not sure how old you are) but love to see how far you and the channel have come! Keep it coming!
Hey David, slow and lots of pressure when drilling. Especially on old exhaust
No back purging huh. Lol this won’t last long for sure.
I know Engine Masters showed dented headers don’t make a huge difference, but that looks like a lot of flattening. 4+4+4+4=16 diameter with 4x4=16 area, but 7+1+7+1=16 diameter yet only 7x1=7 area, so you can lose a lot smashing the pipe.
Ben, after working on an LS Engine do you have a new found respect for their simplicity, reliability, and their ability to make a shit ton of power? Hey this might be a bit hard considering the distance, but what about a 3 way(or 4/5 way if That Dude in Blue or Engineering Explained wanted in)competition like this with Dustin?
LOL Ben, Minutes 6:30-6:38 when you were handling the exhaust pieces in the background while he was talking was hilarious. You had that confused look on your face like "WTF Is This And What Do I Do With It?" 😆
Cheers David, love seeing another diabetic wrenching on cars ❤️
I'm expecting 10s. I'm also curious to see if the T56 will just blow up.
I've got $10 on that T56 explosioning bigly
10 bolt differential 👋 bonjour 👋
@@XxMusclecarsxX the 10 bolt doesn't last under stock power with the t56 much less a blown one...
LS untested with turbo, I'm with the Euro team on this one.
I need episode 3 now!! Lol cliffhanger Ben comes back lol
Hope yall did a hotwire kit for that pump. It needs it for the amperage draw.
I would have mig welded that piping since its so crude any way.
In the future, save a bunch of time and drill bits by welding nuts to broken studs or bolts. The heat from welding helps to loosen them, and you get to use a wrench to spin them out.
Invest in some of the matco stepped drill bit sets lol. Pricey. But worth it. Lifetime warranty on the larger too 😅
A bit rusty but definitely it's a good car :D
Love you guys, cheers from Barcelona.
Haven’t seen Ben this excited over modifying a car in awhile, probably all the clearance he not use to
"Gears and Gasoline has posted" best part of my day, every single time.
"honey I'm home..........did you just turbo our Camaro?!"
That hoodie string dangling over that hand chop saw. GANGSTER.
This series is (like everything you guys do) awesome!
Ben's face at 6:38. 😂😂
Unpopular opinion but I love the way F-body’s look. Both Camaros and Firebirds of this era.
You gotta back purge those welds, bro! 😂 #weldporn #internetknowitalls #yourbudgetbuildisntuptomystandards #imcoolerthanyou
The video production is top notch!
that's a good episode..well done
Wife Ben comes in and says “Honey I’m home, ohh Ben is that a Fawken turbo our Camaro?”
Hubby Ben replied right away “I thought u weren’t supposed to be her until Friday?”
Wife Ben repeats herself “Ben Did u turbo our Camaro” to confirm
Hubby Ben justifies purchase “It was only $370 and it makes 600 puppies”
Wife Ben “600! I love u Ben let me see under your hood”
❤
He even lied about how much it cost, just like you'd expect in that situation
geez what even is this
You guys can hate and trash talk on the "Camarah" but first of all modern American muscle on a budget gives you two choices. 5.0 Mustang or 93-02 LT/LS Camaro. The choice was a good one 👍. Second of all you gained a new subscriber 🤘
FUN FACT: I WAS IN WISCONSIN WITH MY S2000.
Yea if I had to work on a Camaro, that’s where I would be too.
13:24 that man has been waiting for that for a lifetime :,)
Great video, I'm rooting for the Mustang in this challenge but it is going to be EXTREMELY out gunned on the strip. Always fun to see a budget build! Hope she holds together ;)
You know you can delete this rust and gunk from bottom of the car and its parts by just using dry ice blasting?
It will be new as from factory
I get that from Sarah-n-Tuned.
🔥🔥🔥
Really glad you guys took the communities advice about getting into fabrication work and being more hands-on with your projects. This is the perfect low stakes build for you to cut your teeth fabricating from scratch. Really excited to see your skills develop over time. Herd it bowlth Waze.
Previous Owner: Now that's one BAD CAR 🤘🏽
Bestest vids ever you guys make !!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Were those prices after the sponsorship reductions? You put a lot more money than 7.5k into this build!
man, I need the next episode now!
Hmmm not sure how the Mustang is going to stack up here. To even be kind of close in power they'll need to do Forced injection. That Camaro already probably made 80 more hp than that 4.6, lighter weight, way better trans gearing to boot and a much beefier trans, stiffer frame, better suspension, only thing the Stang has is ground clearance... as someone who owns a S197 Mustang that sounds like it's got some balls I do not mess with similar sounding catfish camaros.. I'd rather just have fun with Hemi Challengers, and I'd love to pick up a clean WS6 one day
Just remember, a Mustang is almost ALWAYS lighter than a Camaro. You have to take that into account. Not sure what year 4.6 you are referencing as it could be a 2 valve or a 3 valve 4.6. If its the 3V then the power is comparable already, if its the 2V then yes its down on power. Now if the other dude comes rolling in with a Coyote swapped Fox or SN95, we know its rigged. He could also be doing the same thing I am, LS turbo swap in a New Edge. I will probably have about 7500 in mine as well. Even after a rebuilt 5.3 and rebuilt 4L80E. Those cars are so cheap now it makes them perfect candidates to be hacked up.
I’m just as shocked as tall Ben is.
Turbo on a GM platform is awesome but I’d still rather have NA.
Any thoughts on this?
NA would have been more expensive especially bigger cubes. They could always have added nitrous for a more cost effective route.
Use some oil when you drill through thick metal, it will save you many bits.
Can't wait to witness the boost just blow out every seal on the motor lol. This is gonna be exciting.
im glad i watched the first episode yesterday cause today it feels like a daily upload
It would be badass to have the down pipe go to the catback that was on it but I doubt they are going to do that 🤣🤣
If you want this thing to handle, make sure you get
- 1.8" lowering springs all around ($240)
- BillStein or KYB shocks ($400)
- same size wheels & tires upfront as the back
- Strut tower brace and swaybar ~$300
Shouldn't cost more than $1000 altogether.
Love seeing the guy wearing a Dexcom sensor! I'm also a car guy with type 1 Diabetes and love Dexcom!
Dang, you’re going to kill them. They just have a little 2v
I wonder if there is a way to make exhaust manifolds front exit to make it easier to turbo… oh yeah, just swap sides.
This build reminds me of every shitbox my friends and I put together back in highschool. Doesn't fit? Hammer it! Shitty pipe cut? Weld enough to hold it!
Small Ben reminds me of Chandler Bing from Friends at the end.
Watching Ben hammer the exhaust, I can see game text -1HP
really recommend cobalt drill bits
That Camaro is going down.!.
Best car videos since Top Gear
That turbo will probably set that hood on fire at some point 😅. Great video as usual. Thank you 😊
I HATE welding gaps with tig but great job!
I love these "cheap build" competition builds.
SUBSCRIBED!!
Best cars on the planet!!! Love4th gen camaro's!!
Notification squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
as a self-proclaimed american muscle fan, i personally wouldve gone with a blower instead of a turbo, but ik you guys are more familiar with turbos, so ill let it slide XD
If this car survives this challenge I'd love to see you turn it into a track car and see how it does. It would be like using a broom stick to paint the Mona Lisa
1:00 - Deals Gap hoodie; this man knows what's up.
I'm anxiously waiting for you to meet up with Dan and make a video together
