Appreciate and never take for granted all that you have.”
It's always nice to say "don't try this at home" because it's ridiculous, not because it's dangerous. Love that you're trying it tho, and bringing us all along for the ride.
@@Ratkill9000 I took a Cummins 4BT away for a "boat anchor stay". I drained the water from the cylinders, threw some kroil around that area, and it started right up. Buddy tried to shoot me when he found out I was using it in my commercial fishing boat.
As someone who has swapped a Prius 1nzfxe into an 85 MR2 I can really appreciate everything you go through to do these swaps. It is not always about being the fastest or most fuel economical but if you learn something along the way it is worth it.
Glacier National Park blew me away! I thought I wasn’t that into nature but it really is stunning. Another vote here for Maine as well. We stayed in Wiscasset (and Portland!) and had a lovely time. I also really enjoyed our Pacific Northwest road trip - by far my favorite spot was Lopez Island in the San Juans… so peaceful and hauntingly beautiful.

It's basically the best guide out there on how to do a DIY engine swap, because it covers everything in a level of detail that other channels don't. Loads of inspiration found here for my own projects. Thanks Jimbo.
The correct technique for drilling holes with machine tools (drill press, lathe, whatever) is to pilot drill with a drill that's just a bit bigger than the 'chisel' (or center non-cutting web) of the final sized drill, then drill to finished size. There are a few reasons for doing this: firstly, engaging the full width of the drill's cutting edges helps keep it centered so it doesn't curve off course or make a slightly triangular 'lobed' hole. Secondly, the rake angle of the drill's cutting edges varies from the middle (where it is very low, often negative) to the outside (where it is very high, often 30-45 degrees). As a result the outer parts of the drill are weaker, they benefit from having the inner parts to add resistance and prevent them taking too much load all at once. And finally, a related issue. If you make your pilot hole too big the drill may act like a self tapping screw and violently 'self-feed' into the hole, resulting in either a spinning part of doom or damage to the drill, depending on the relative strength of their respective clamping systems. Brass is notorious for this (which is why people often recommend 'dubbing' the edges to reduce their rake angle if you're drilling it) but it can easily happen in steel as well if you make your pilot hole too large.
This type of swap has been on my mind for a while. Not specifically the trans/motor combo but the swapping in a hyper mile transplant to combat these horrible fuel prices. Thanks for the ride along on this and can’t wait for the next one!

I like how you listen to your commenters, so here is another bit of advise. You should be tightening those bolts holding the clutch to the flywheel in a star/crisscross pattern (instead of going around in a circle) to even out the load of the clutch and disc. Also, there is a specific torque spec for said bolts, but I am guessing this is only a test fit.
the star pattern also prevents you from forming a "wrinkle" in thin sheet metal parts as you go around. If you do the bolts in a circle you'll sometimes notice that the holes progressively move further from where they should be as you go around, putting stress on the part and making assembly difficult.

I love when a digital precision tool (3d printer, laser cutter, CNC) can make imprecise tools precise.

For clutch clearance, all you need to do is maintain the same block to flywheel face dimension as the factory. On your Saturn the front face of the flywheel sets *into* the transmission .674". Put another way, the flywheel is .674" proud of the engine block mating surface. As long as this dimension is the same with your adapter, the clutch will work fine.

Hi, followup to the last video, I plan to publish the full library of transmission adapter plates that I have. I am acquiring the entire library of templates that belonged to Electro Automotive, since they are no longer in business. I used to manufacture adapter plates and hubs for them 12-16 years ago and I have quite a few existing CAD files. I plan to create a Github repo to contain these drawings.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD I need to do some cleanup of the CAD files to make sure they are presentable, then I can export DXFs for sharing. I used BobCAD back then, so the source files are not "standard" format. I need to scan a bunch of drawings of hubs and assembly views. Then I need to scan the patterns, stitch them together, vectorize them, and convert them into scale drawings. At the end I developed a workflow using a B size scanner to scan the full size adapter and convert that into a drawing. Unfortunately all of the original computer files that EA had are gone, so only my copies remain. The adapter patterns are 1/3rd of the equation, the other 2/3rds are the crankshaft hub drawings and assembly drawings that show fitup and depthing dimensions.

I did a similar project putting a GM engine in my Toyota. I found any lack of precision in drilling to be a big problem. Slight drillbit walking would make the plate not line up. I ended up cutting the pattern off of a GM bellhousing (the cheapest transmission I could get) and rtv'ing it to my steel plate. This guided my bits and placed the holes in the perfect spot.

your method of creating the adapter plate in stages with templates is an awesome idea. i have a couple of similar projects on my list that have been in a holding pattern waiting for me to figure out how to move forward on them without it costing me a kidney. using polycarbonate to create a see through template was genius! i had been trying other methods unsuccessfully and had about given up and was thinking of looking into DIY surgical methods to raise capitol in order to move forward with them. with my limited geometry and algebraic skills, this seems to be a more viable option and much less painful. my kidneys thank you! i would really have hated to split up the set, i've had them kicking around for over half a century now, and i'm sure they would've been sad to be separated.
Putting a project in a holding pastern is sometime necessary while you build the knowledge to make the best choices in order to successfully finish. I'm glad you found value in the plexiglass method. it sure beats doing a lot of complex measuring.

This series is fantastic. Great job with explanations, someone could really gleam a bunch of tips and tricks from these. I also enjoy the AvE sticker on your engine hoist. Looking forward to this thing being in the car!
Yep, thats a lot of work! Count yourself lucky that input shaft isn't the type that floats around and only centers when its mated with the transmission!
for anyone watching and thinking about adaptor plates (perhaps it not a thing in the states I have never seen or worked on a saturn) but here in the UK most all FWD gearboxes are aligned with dowels its these dowels that set the correct location of gearbox and engine, the bolts are usually rather loose fitting. when making adaptors this is where you need to focus for alignment.
I'm not sure if I missed the garden gnomes because I was so focused on the task at hand, or if there weren't any to be found. Good stuff Jimbo! Congrats on 100K!

These are so much fun to watch. This is a lot more measuring for the template then I'd have done tbh. You can establish center after the bolt pattern is established. Lots of easy ways to transfer a bolt pattern and bellhousing shape. I would also have skipped the plastic template, but it makes for good visual examples of what is happening, so I like it in the video.

I made an adapter to put a VW TDI engine in a Nissan D21 truck. If I did it again, I would make transfer pins that thread into the blind holes, clamp two places over the pins, partially marking those locations, tap the other location with a hammer, and then this could be drilled. The way I did it, I individually did each hole, making lots of on and offs.
That “center” drill bit is for cutting a tapered opening in the end of stock for a live/dead center to sit in on a lathe. While they do work well for establishing a straight pilot hole, usually mills will use a spotting drill to establish a good start for a larger drill.
I legitimately probably would have never thought to use plexiglass for mock-up purposes. Genius. This makes all kinds of fabrication a lot quicker. My mind was basically stuck in transfer punch and/or cardstock mode for some reason. Obviously cardstock is great for just about everything but there's definitely a time and place for a see-through version. Cheers.

Was so happy to see the new video posted today perfect Sunday morning. Cup of coffee and blunt and robot cantina.
This is such a fun project to follow along with. Thanks for the great content. I hope youre enjoying building it as much as we're enjoying watching it!
Id like to see the robo throttle setup hooked up to a grill with temp probe, cool robotic content lol.
That would be interesting.
I love when a digital precision tool (3d printer, laser cutter, CNC) can make imprecise tools precise. Making templates and one off specialty tools should be a big selling point but i dont see it talked about or shown off nearly as much as it should be. Glad to see how the 3d printer made this project easier.

Always stop what I'm doing and watch your videos immediately. Keep up the great work!!
For clutch clearance, all you need to do is maintain the same block to flywheel face dimension as the factory. On your Saturn the front face of the flywheel sets *into* the transmission .674". Put another way, the flywheel is .674" proud of the engine block mating surface. As long as this dimension is the same with your adapter, the clutch will work fine.
Already one of my favorite channels. Keep up the great work.

I'm a fan of unusual engine swaps, and this one hits the spot.
INDEED!
Yes, I'm with you. weird engine swaps are awesome.

As always love the work jimbo keep ‘em coming.
Love the idea of the multi piece adapter....
Thanks Jimbo, you have a ton of patience and I appreciate it because at the end the content is amazingly entertaining. Waiting for the next episode on the edge of my seat. Best of luck.
Hi, followup to the last video, I plan to publish the full library of transmission adapter plates that I have. I am acquiring the entire library of templates that belonged to Electro Automotive, since they are no longer in business. I used to manufacture adapter plates and hubs for them 12-16 years ago and I have quite a few existing CAD files. I plan to create a Github repo to contain these drawings.
That would be an awesome resource for many home brewed swaps. I'm sure it will be much appreciated.
@@robotcantina8957 Love all the videos, JIMBO... congrats on 103k subscribers....👍👍👍
Do tell us more!!
@@PatrickKQ4HBD I need to do some cleanup of the CAD files to make sure they are presentable, then I can export DXFs for sharing. I used BobCAD back then, so the source files are not "standard" format. I need to scan a bunch of drawings of hubs and assembly views. Then I need to scan the patterns, stitch them together, vectorize them, and convert them into scale drawings. At the end I developed a workflow using a B size scanner to scan the full size adapter and convert that into a drawing. Unfortunately all of the original computer files that EA had are gone, so only my copies remain. The adapter patterns are 1/3rd of the equation, the other 2/3rds are the crankshaft hub drawings and assembly drawings that show fitup and depthing dimensions.
Just gets more interesting for me with every episode. Thanks for all the time and work you are investing to show us your efforts. Phil
Thank you very much!

I did a similar project putting a GM engine in my Toyota. I found any lack of precision in drilling to be a big problem. Slight drillbit walking would make the plate not line up. I ended up cutting the pattern off of a GM bellhousing (the cheapest transmission I could get) and rtv'ing it to my steel plate. This guided my bits and placed the holes in the perfect spot.
Its tough to get the holes drilled in the right spot, that's for sure.

your method of creating the adapter plate in stages with templates is an awesome idea. i have a couple of similar projects on my list that have been in a holding pattern waiting for me to figure out how to move forward on them without it costing me a kidney. using polycarbonate to create a see through template was genius! i had been trying other methods unsuccessfully and had about given up and was thinking of looking into DIY surgical methods to raise capitol in order to move forward with them. with my limited geometry and algebraic skills, this seems to be a more viable option and much less painful. my kidneys thank you! i would really have hated to split up the set, i've had them kicking around for over half a century now, and i'm sure they would've been sad to be separated.
Putting a project in a holding pastern is sometime necessary while you build the knowledge to make the best choices in order to successfully finish. I'm glad you found value in the plexiglass method. it sure beats doing a lot of complex measuring.
A W E S O M E ! Looking forward to next episode. 👌🙂👍

This series is fantastic. Great job with explanations, someone could really gleam a bunch of tips and tricks from these. I also enjoy the AvE sticker on your engine hoist. Looking forward to this thing being in the car!
Woooo major congrats on 100K! Always interesting to see how someone decides to adapt an engine. I reckon this will work great.
I’ve been waiting on the edge of my seat for this vid to upload!! Awesome work Jimbo, hooked on every episode!
it would be cool to make a generator out of the old Saturn engine!
Yep, thats a lot of work! Count yourself lucky that input shaft isn't the type that floats around and only centers when its mated with the transmission!
for anyone watching and thinking about adaptor plates (perhaps it not a thing in the states I have never seen or worked on a saturn) but here in the UK most all FWD gearboxes are aligned with dowels its these dowels that set the correct location of gearbox and engine, the bolts are usually rather loose fitting. when making adaptors this is where you need to focus for alignment.
I'm not sure if I missed the garden gnomes because I was so focused on the task at hand, or if there weren't any to be found. Good stuff Jimbo! Congrats on 100K!

Torque is going to be much higher than stock with 2 flywheels but it's going to be a very slow revving engine, and a lot of RPM hang.
These are so much fun to watch.
This is a lot more measuring for the template then I'd have done tbh. You can establish center after the bolt pattern is established. Lots of easy ways to transfer a bolt pattern and bellhousing shape. I would also have skipped the plastic template, but it makes for good visual examples of what is happening, so I like it in the video.

We should all be using our heads like this. Y'all are great. Love the content and what you do.
I made an adapter to put a VW TDI engine in a Nissan D21 truck. If I did it again, I would make transfer pins that thread into the blind holes, clamp two places over the pins, partially marking those locations, tap the other location with a hammer, and then this could be drilled. The way I did it, I individually did each hole, making lots of on and offs.
Absolutely love all the videos, thank you Jimbo!
I really enjoy your content. Congrats on the 100k.
That “center” drill bit is for cutting a tapered opening in the end of stock for a live/dead center to sit in on a lathe. While they do work well for establishing a straight pilot hole, usually mills will use a spotting drill to establish a good start for a larger drill.
Really enjoying this. Love weird swaps.
Pretty nifty work!! 😮
I legitimately probably would have never thought to use plexiglass for mock-up purposes. Genius.
This makes all kinds of fabrication a lot quicker. My mind was basically stuck in transfer punch and/or cardstock mode for some reason.
Obviously cardstock is great for just about everything but there's definitely a time and place for a see-through version. Cheers.
