Bodyshop owner here . Strip undercoat by heating and scraping . Once you get the bulk off thinner cleans it up great or if you dont have any brake cleaner or wax and grease breaks it down .
I love that you constantly ask him, "what are you doing?". I don't know much about the AWD setup so I am curious and you ask pretty much for a novice who just watches videos and didn't grow up with any knowledge about cars.
YES!!!! This is the shit I love!! Step by step!! Grinding, scraping, you guys cut this video together very well with the work you did! Thanks so much!!
To remove the undercoating use a propane torch and scraper. You don't want to burn or melt the coating you just want it to heat up and become softer. You can go to home depot and ask for a 5-n-1 tool which is in the paint aisle. It's a type of scraper with 5 uses (different shapes to scrape in different ways). You can also use a 1000watt-1500watt heat gun. Use acetone to wipe off any residue after. Acetone is a good solvent to use for prepping surfaces for weld. Removes a lot of types of paint, wax, grease, oil etc. As far as the actual welding. You would have much better success with dual core Flux shield wire. The Flux in the wire constantly cleans the metal and pull the contaminants to the surface of the weld puddle. Dual shield is commonly used for structural metal welding like buildings and the metal can actually be welded in a fairly rusty state without having to be cleaned prior. Using solid mig wire and 75%/25% mix isn't a good idea with something as dirty as that undercoating sub frame
Yoo SONIC Yea boosted boiz had the fluid changed in there viscous IN THE VAN changed to a better fluid n they had the clutches in viscous changed in it n it ripped it's ass off. Get up wit Kyle n ask him about the fluid for the viscous Sonic.
Dry ice blaster would knock it out quick. Not sure what kind force the viscous puts on the actual frame but switching the plates 180° where the overhang is on the notched side might help rigidity
Would love to see more on how the rear diff, axles, rear hubs, and rear suspension is done on the awd setups. I’ve never seen a video done on that part of an awd build before.
It been out for years now. S1Built billet carrier bearing and billet carrier bearing brackets doesn't need to notch the tunnel. They are offset upward.
Loving the vids guys. Keep ‘em coming. It is about time someone does a detail install of this👏. Question, does the angle of the driveshaft from the diff to the viscous coupler matters? From the vid, it seems that the driveshaft from the diff has a downward slope to the viscous. Would appreciate it if you guys could go more into this aspect of the install. Thanks.
Diablo flapper discs, I remove vinyl from sc40 pipes all the time it takes a good amount of pressure, but I would assume it could take care of some undercoating.
Mickey Andrade and the dudes from Throtl made that Front engine RWD EK named the FREK.. it's unique af but idk how well driveability/reliability would be
Looks like it's possible to shorten the ends of that front carrier bearing bracket, drill new holes and move the bolts and then you wouldn't have to notch the frame
Undercoating - fire and wire wheels. Takes about 10 sec to remove Driveshaft length would be hard to make across the board. Their are too many variables involved. You would have to make like 100s of combo. Also you don't have to notch the tunnel with the S1Built billet carrier bearing because they are offset upward. In all off our videos we never had to notch the tunnel.
i was gonna like this but i dont like the number that its currently at atm. but this is a great vid with good info. here in nz for it to be street legal we’d probably have to go extra and weld in those plates crush tubes so it goes all the way up into the floor, then have through-bolts with an extra plate and nut on the end.
Arron with the h22 awd ek has something on his rear driveshaft that basically disconnects off a pull of a lever and it makes the DS FREE SPIN so its fwd
The reason you're able to break a factory camshaft is because it's made from a casting. They pour liquid metal into a mold. If you look at the ends where the cam fractured you will see the metal looks like small grains of sand. There's no uniformity in the grain of the metal. If you tried to do that with a billet camshaft you'd more than likely hurt your hand and chip the sidewalk. But the cam wouldn't break. It all has to do with the metallurgy and science behind how the metal is made. You could also break a cast cam shaft with a specific sound frequency at a loud enough volume level. Kinda like how you can shatter a glass with a speaker making a specific sound frequency. I've been a machinist for 20 years. So I've learned a lot about metallurgy and castings over the years.
to get the undercoating off, definitely heat gun on high, and a putty knife. That will get most of it as long as the surface is -relatively- flat or uniform. Then take some Xylene to it with a stainless steel pot scrubber (chore boy) I've had good luck with this.
Paint stripper in the undercoat with a little heat and a scrapper Unless you have an Infinti AEM they pretty much have stopped support for it Link Ecu is a very very good unit but none of them have the display/all in one like FT
Kev did it not JROC 🤣🤣🤪 remember that 😂 Great vid I always watch all the way through very entertaining… Y’all had me dieing laughing painted the new tims because your brother brought brand new tims to the shop 🫡🤣
i fawkng agreed with that driveshaft concept. It needs to be a Mainstream Oem Honda aftermarket placement part with 1310 joints and chassis specify. so people can just but the driveshaft and slap it on.. I then it'll be a Good business Opportunity for NewEnglandRacing to come out with Those concept Parts for AWD. i'm down for it. because I have 2 different sets up right now on hand for a 92-95 Eg hatch/Ej coupe chassis with Awd K series motor(k24a2) and trans( crv trans) and b series(b18c1) motor and trans(crv rd1). A freelander with Crv rear and a Wagon full driveshaft and rear.
Crazy that it takes that long. I took my car to the people who changed the game with the best awd kit HUB CITY PERFORMANCE & it took less then two weeks to get everything done even make the driveshaft, mount the vis with mountain the diff basically everything. Even the price was great. I had called you guys like 3 times & left my info & you guys never called me back sucks because you guys are literally like an hour away. I drove all the way to Maryland because everyone that I called had some excuse about taking the work in.
Dry ice ( which I guess isn’t “terrible “ on pricing to get the machines )… but if your doing it at home soda blasting it is way more convenient and easier to set something up and blast.
*Asked a friend since he’s done it more so then myself….dry ice works better then soda blasting because your freezing it but either way apparently your going to go thru a ton of it to get the coating off. 😔

Dry ice would be the best way to take the undercoat off and it’s really good cleaning anything
Kevin did it. (Glizzys)💯🔧🚗🏁®
I love that you constantly ask him, "what are you doing?". I don't know much about the AWD setup so I am curious and you ask pretty much for a novice who just watches videos and didn't grow up with any knowledge about cars.
Bro this shit so clean and jroc legitimately goes hard asf. Dude really cares about his craft fr
The S1 built billet carrier bearing mounting bracket for the wagon you wouldn't have to cut that lil section out.
I had Goodluck with dry ice and then after the ice I put some aircraft paint stripper and then scraper or pearl pad on a grinder.
Damn that's a lot of work. Good stuff! the glizzy stenciled on the tims is hilarious.
YES!!!! This is the shit I love!! Step by step!! Grinding, scraping, you guys cut this video together very well with the work you did! Thanks so much!!
Y’all need some S1 in your life, he fabs all that AWD eat up and he does some of the best work out there
S1 built does it all one stop kit
Love them matabo cutting disk

Great job guys jrock be killing it.
This video !! Straight fire feels like I’m there with yah especially laughing to 😅🤞🔥
We make a one-stop-shop full front to back AWD kit as well, simple to install, no extra custom parts needed, straight forward set up.
More of this videos please!! fire video
Y’all for sure explained it right and did it right 👌🏼
Y'all all killing it homies maybe time to start looking into fabrication. Maybe the next chapter in your story. Love the content fellas keep hustling!
Finally a long video. Thank you 🙏🏽
Yoo SONIC Yea boosted boiz had the fluid changed in there viscous IN THE VAN changed to a better fluid n they had the clutches in viscous changed in it n it ripped it's ass off. Get up wit Kyle n ask him about the fluid for the viscous Sonic.
i want to see it all boys! and you guys are a hoot!
Please undercoat the entire Tim next time. I would buy a pair! 😂😂
I'm looking at those weilds but I'm guessing he's weilding to 22 gauge steel.
Dry ice blaster would knock it out quick. Not sure what kind force the viscous puts on the actual frame but switching the plates 180° where the overhang is on the notched side might help rigidity

U can go to boosted boiz n they do it on there ek hatch when they did the awd setup
Jroc for president
Air craft remover is the best thing to strip basically anything to bare metal in just a few minutes. Also try easy off oven cleaner.
Great content...dope video
Air scraper is what you need. Harbor freight sells them for cheap.
Throtl did a rear wheel drive ek hatch with a k20 motor
Aircraft Stripper to get the undercoating off
Keep cleaning the wire wheel after each pass on a 2x4 spray some wd40 or brake cleaner the wood should clean the wire wheel
Yeah I remember when I made my eg awd it sucked doing it in my driveway took me about 2 weeks
For the Undercoating:
Get yourself a heatgun and a spatula. Its tedious, but I did my whole wheel houses that way :D
Wow just hands down amazing 👏
Jroc innocent till proven guilty in the court of law
People been doing that with the audi quattro.
I’m betting in the next few weeks s1 another company’s maybe even ktune lmdao will have them brackets made ready for sell lol
It been out for years now. S1Built billet carrier bearing and billet carrier bearing brackets doesn't need to notch the tunnel. They are offset upward.
hmmm have u try paint thinner cause under coating just a style of paint
You guys make templates and I can make those plates for ya.
Not the glizzy timbs
Love your work gents.
Thank you for these videos. It’s very helpful.
God bless
S1built make billet AWD components
i love so much this channel you guys are awesome keep the great work i would like so much you guys to tune my ep3 k20 but you are far away!!
Mr.Clean magic eraser will do the trick
Freeze under coat with keyboard cleaner?
use goof off for undercoat

going to try them for the next build for sure, thank you!!
The people at S1 built just heat the surface 1st with torch then hit it with wire wheel comes right off watched them do it in real time
Nice video thanks!
Saludo desde PR 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
I’m curious as to why you guys don’t look into S1 built awd kit.
U shld look into making ur own parts and take ur brand an ur boys 2 the next level
i was gonna like this but i dont like the number that its currently at atm. but this is a great vid with good info.

Stepping on his boots after spray painting them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
💪👍
What viscous did he go with so that you don’t have to cut much?

Dope build. What brake lines are those?

Kev did it
Looks super clean so far !!!
Paint stripper in the undercoat with a little heat and a scrapper
Unless you have an Infinti AEM they pretty much have stopped support for it
Link Ecu is a very very good unit but none of them have the display/all in one like FT
Also love the sort of walk through yall did with this!
Kev did it not JROC 🤣🤣🤪 remember that 😂 Great vid I always watch all the way through very entertaining… Y’all had me dieing laughing painted the new tims because your brother brought brand new tims to the shop 🫡🤣
Dry ice or oven cleaner should work.
You guys build high quality shit!! I would love to see you guys build a ek 4dr hatch with a G23 h2b and rbc manifold…
Try some air craft stripper
Kev did it 😂
best removal for the under coat is gonna be a dry ice blaster.
Down side is until it is refined everyone is the test dummy
Another 5 years & I recon it will be a direct bolt up kit

Use paint thinner with a brush
Is that the stock wagon viscous coupler? Have you tried the AKD or Gear-X one??
yeah with new fluid

it took that long to get Aluminum drive shaft or carbon, Im very sorry, we are slammed atm especially with H day coming up! Agreed hubcity is the best

Heat gun and a scrapper/puddy knife
Bro if you can find some way to get some dry ice to hold up against the bottom it would come off so easy
Sand blast mabey
