Hyundai 13 - Baseline Tuning & Blunders
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- This video is a continuation of previous videos where we installed ECMlink, configured it for speed density airflow metering, and achieved a closed loop idle. Oh how I wish I could have simply changed some values in a few cells to make it road worthy but no… not Jafro. Things never work out that way for me for whatever reason.
No matter what company logo is on your bumper, if you work on your own car, then in order for you to be any good at what you do, you have to be able to own your mistakes. Only then can progress be made. I should have done a better job at inspecting the used parts that were bolted on. The radiator, the intercooler, the intercooler pipes, the 2 radiator caps, the silly electrical problems that were found… and how I half-assed my vacuum system so I could get it to an inspection station. You can bet I'll pay more attention in the future. At least now that's all fixed.
What I just described is not the frustration, but the challenge and the fun in doing all of this. Perfection doesn't happen overnight, and for this Hyundai I realize it's impossible, but the amount of stuff wrong with this thing are precisely the reason I'm having so much fun with it. Hopefully you're having fun, too.
In this video I iron out the remaining mechanical bugs, make some upgrades, fix some things that weren't broken, they were just stupid… and continue where we left off with the baseline tune from the previous video. Since tuning fuel is the same exact thing as tuning airflow, before you worry about either one of those, set your timing. I show you how right here in this video. This video is WAY better than my other timing video. I'm not even linking it here, it's that bad. I swear I want to delete that video someday.
If you need to build a boost leak tester so you can test the health of your car, I have videos for that, too… Some people use smoke for boost leak testing. It works. I prefer soapy water. Leave me alone. :P

^^SUBSCRIBE to that dude. ^^^ Seriously. ^^^ The last 3 scenes of this video wouldn't have been possible without him. The man's a tuning genius, and he's got a nasty fire-breating corn-fed 1g AWD talon project.
Achieving closed loop idle doesn't necessarily mean you have your global and deadtime settings correct. The process of dialing in your global and deadtime is a little different for me than most other people who use a more popular brand and size of injector. For people who use everything but a RC750 PL-4 injector, ECMtuning is the best place to start because they have a page with dozens of popular injectors' default settings already figured out and documented for your convenience: www.ecmtuning....
If you're new to ECMlink, another page you should visit is the Quickie A/F setup page. It includes instructions for tuning idle, cruise and WOT: www.ecmtuning....
If you're having idle surge, poor idle, or just want to know more about the ISC motor, visit this page: www.ecmtuning.... …and OH HEY! My ISC motor testing and replacement video is linked right off that page. Cool! Thanks Thomas! I guess I don't need to link it here… :) That page details the BISS/ISC procedure I do in this video, and my video shows how to test and replace the ISC motor without using ECMlink.
…by the way… if you're tuning airflow or fuel… a wideband o2 sensor REALLY helps. I've got a video for that, too.: • Innovate LC2 Wideband ...
…and another one about how to install ECMlink with a Speed Density configuration.: • Hyundai Assembly 10 - ...
If you're subscribed, of course, you already know this. Thanks for everything you guys do here. Thank you for spending your time here with me on Jafromobile!

That oil rag trick rocked my world man.
You're the Merlin of shop tricks.
Your videos are truly inspirational. I got burnt bad when I bought a 2g a few months ago. What was supposed to just be replacing a blown turbo has turned into a ground up build in my driveway. With 100 degree days and a crappy work schedule it's hard to get things done. But watching your videos give me that extra push to keep going. I know once the finished product is done it will be awsome. I got the old motor out today. Just gotta rip out the old hacked to crap wiring harness out and start putting everything back together. Thanks for all you do for us.
Ryan Villeneuve Keep at it bro, I did the same thing like 7 years ago... What was supposed to be a simple fix, turned into a full motor build and head work and FPBlack The build got turned up since so much more needs replaced than I first thought. Good luck with yours. It'll be worth it when it's done... at least that's what I keep telling myself... Until I grenade a trans or transfer case anyway. Lol
This is a testament to the power of truth and honesty. I have watched almost every video that you have posted and I appreciate that you tell it like it is with transparency, even when mistakes are made. Honesty isn't the best policy, it's the only policy. If I can't believe what comes out what's the point in spending my time watching and learning? Keep it up, I'll keep coming back!
i was looking for a video to teach me how to change my valves on my dirt bike and i stuck watching 13 videos of a man rebuild that old hyundai.... omg ... nice videos
MuDBlooD lII LOL! :D Thanks man! That's a compliment of the highest order. I hope you found plenty of useful stuff here. :)
Let me start with... I love you man.
I left VA about 3 years ago after going the contractor route instead of active duty. It made me so happy to see the beautiful VA roads, and sweeping 360 on ramps that I miss so much now that I am in the middle of the desert. That rag had me giggling my ass off. Stay as unsafe as the safety inspector will allow, drive fast, and take chances.
IT'S ALIVE!!!! Glad to see she's running down the highway! Once you get a tune down, I am curious to see how you're going to install and utilize your water/meth kit on this build. I've seen tons of folks buy the very Water/meth kit you've purchased, and have had a hard time getting it to work as intended. Glad to see some progress on the Hyundai! Keep her alive, she's a unicorn and deserves her due. Thanks for all you do to make these videos happen.
So refreshing to see a real person into engine, mech and tuning, to see them actually be real, not edit it out, that's bloody Gold. It is what sets you apart... I'm an Aussie living in Sweden, all my tools are back home so it's awesome to watch your TH-cam channel!...
One suggestion, and I know the time consuming nature of the game, but I'd love to see more videos 😉
Finally, a new Jafro video! You sure dodged a bullet with that oil leak, and the rag was hilarious! I love the honesty, because things like that happen in the real world, and I surely don't think less of you one bit after seeing what happened. Great work!
I'm pretty sure HorsePower TV would never make this video. The idea that a build is finished once the engine is in and running plagues the performance aftermarket. This video was fucking great. Even after all the thoroughness you put into this build there are still things that need to be looked at. Awesome stuff Jafro whens the new video out? :P
Thanks for the video's Jafro. I have found them interesting, informative and sometimes funny. I don't own a 4G63 or any other Mitsubishi engine I just liked the detail you went into in explaining your trials and tribulations. I don't understand why you went to so much trouble doing this work on a old Hyundai Elantra but hey whatever floats you're bubble. Great job any way. Keep em coming.
+Dallas Dorrington The car was a gift to me. The vast majority of gear heads out there will question why I fixed it after it broke... but the minute you're behind the wheel of this thing fighting torque steer all the way through third gear and smoking the tires pulling bus lengths on brand new shiny luxury and sports cars who are doing everything they can to NOT get beat up on by a 23 year old bottom-of-the-barrel 4-door economy car… suddenly you'd get it. It is a handful. This car is stupid-fast from a roll. No, it's not safe. No, it's not stylish. No, it's not a fashionable car to be seen in. No, it isn't valuable. Almost nobody can even recognize what it is or remember them from when they could be found out on the street? It's extremely-forgettable appearance screams "POS!" from every angle, and it is. It's a terribly made car. It's rife with problems. But if you own a shiny $65,000 luxury sports car and you've got nothing on some silly s***box economy car with a license plate that reads TRADE YA, then it's doing its job. They will never forget the day they encountered "it" and tried to pass "it". That's that 4g63 power for you. It's addictive. If it didn't provide so much driving enjoyment and adrenaline production, I'd have crushed this car a looooooong time ago.
I am not a guy who comments on very many (read: ANY) TH-cam videos or channels, but I have to say, this is by FAR my favorite TH-cam channel I've ever found. You are informative, insightful, humble, and entertaining. I value the time you've spent making these videos and documenting the process for the world to see. I especially enjoy your ability to alternate between "anal retentive engineer mode" and "gotta get it done with what I have mode." It's great to see someone taking painstaking care when it's actually warranted, and "getting on with it" when it's not. Please keep on making videos for this community to enjoy, and Thank you.
Brian Bonfoey Just look at the progress you're making!!! Gone from a guy who doesn't comment on any TH-cam videos to one that leaves an awesome comment *like that one*! I'll try my best to make videos that keep you talking!
***** :)
These videos are extremely well made and you do a great job explaining everything. Thank you.
oh yeah - JAFROOOOOOOOOOOO - and Rojoooooooooo....
now that the hundi's off the rag. - hot DAYM - happy Summer vacation!!!!!!!!!!
molsenice and believe it or not - "learned me" on the oil rag - that was pretty daym cool, shop teacher 25 yrs - NEVER saw that
molsenice Oh yeah. Couldn't believe it, lol. Shop rags...who knew?
Glad to hear it running and glad you found the problem. At least your tune went quickly after all that "practice". Glad you found someone that could help and a big kuddos to all those in the background that are willing to help with tools, and advice. I love my new soldering iron. Had a bad lamp socket on the Stealth and whipped out my butane soldering iron and went to town. Very convenient and a great addition to my tool collection.
Thanks again for all your hard work. Not sure what takes more time. You turning wrenches or the time it takes to edit and publish these videos. Probably the latter, by some margin.
Anyway, it was good to see another well done video and your progress. It is all the little things than can really burn you on a new motor build. Old radiators and oil\coolant leaks are the most worrysome.
its currently 2020 and the oil rag trick absolutely blew my mind.
jafro is a rocket scientist.
It is a good feeling to finally see you drive down the interstate in the car and hear a few pulls from that engine i have seen you work on so so hard, i have been watching your videos for nearly two years now and have enjoyed all of them very much! u have a unique way of explaining things and trying to teach good principals from your mistakes and existing knowledge.
I especially liked the segments you did on the more in depth subjects of engine rebuilding mainly with the 7 Bolt Tear-down video because i have a 7 Bolt 4G93 and was doing a complete block and head rebuild at the time i did the lot even parts of the gearbox, you where the main one that helped me successfully rebuild that engine and pointed some good thing to do and look out for!
My rebuild was completed nearly three months ago and has been running flawlessly i have been keeping a close eye on everything and just yesterday Installed my LC-2 Wideband 02 like you have recently and i am Logging and making small calibrations.
Keep up the awesome videos! Thank you for improving me Jafro!
Great place to store that piece of old rag...lol - Your still the main man in my eyes Jafro
Superb video as always.
Thumbs up from England
Paul :-)
Thanks for another great video. I was reminded of a few of those problems my talon had. My oil filter also loosened up unexpectedly and made a mess but was caught before things got ugly. The bigger problem came when the BISS fell out while driving. Thankfully we found it and were able to get the idle dialed back in.
Hey Jafro.. Saw all your 13 videos about your Hyundai.. What amazes me the most, is your commitment to get the things done, I mean, well done.. Congrats man.. Awesome job.. Jay.. Portugal..
Well done mate!! This is the video that helps me the most. I just tightened up the rag monitoring situation on my rebuild! Anal or not I don't want that kind of grief. Thanks.
Excellent episode! We want more Jafro and we want it now! I've yet to have a sneaky rag make it's way into my intercoolers over the years but I can see how the mistake can be made. You got so much to balance between doing the car work quickly, correctly and on video. Can't wait for future videos.
Great vid as usual! love to see your still in action
I always wondered why those rags are so damn water resistant. You almost have to physically smash the water in to get them to absorb. Learning new things every time I watch your videos. Keep it up!
Ahsieh2 Ever try using one of those rags for sweat on your face? Thanks to you I know why it didn't work! Plus...when you think a rag is clean...it never is. lol
Just tell people you're getting ready to go out in blackface. Then you're just thrifty. Lol
Best video yet! the narrative timing was perfect and I'm really getting the vibe that you have been making these videos for a really long time now lol. thanks for the oil rag trick too. I'm gonna impress my friends with that now.
That rag... Yup, that's why I'm subscribed. Love this channel. Glad to see you got your problems sorted, Jafro. Can't wait to see more ;-)
Jafro, you made my day!
Thanks for all the hard work and editing I love a good you tube channel .......
just so you know i've been watching your channel from before your rebuild
james Carr Me too. :)
Owning up to that rag cracks me up sir! I've never done similar actions. Ever. ;-) Thanks again for a great show!
I see that Mach V shirt...
I enjoy watching these videos. It's even cooler knowing you're not far off from me in Hampton.
The look on your faces when you sucked the rag out of the intercooler! xD
I've made that face myself innumerable times in similar situations, but the feelings of relief, joy and frustration that accompany it never diminish.
FrankTheCat Oh for sure. Sometimes when it's so simple, when you're thinking, "I'll never get this!" The good after is as strong as the bad.
Jamie isn't good at acting for the re-enactment is he? lol I can't act either. It's alright.
DE Nichols That was Chad! Jamie was in the 1st time startup video. :)
***** Thanks for the correction. I'm terrible at names unless it's the channel owner. Lol
I had to do a Mariah on watch on this build. Awesome. I'm a Ford V8 fan but I am glued to this build.
What a surprise, I'm glad you found the issue. I know I tend to get less blow action when someone else is on their rag too...
Thank you for doing what you do. I love watching your videos and hope that someday I produce work close to the quality of yours. Thanks for sharing all of your process, hope to keep seeing your videos and builds.
Another awesome video, Been watching since the beginning and always get excited when i see an update. Nice to see it moving! Looking forward to more of your video!
That moment when he said, "Jafro, this is a stupid problem to have", it made my day.
I found that my rtv diy gaskets are much much stronger if I form the rtv kind of neat on the mating surface, let it sit for several hours then put things together, if the rtv dries before assembly it is super durable and compresses much harder without oozing out or thinning too much (super integrity). love your vids, my fiance hates my projects, lol. (out in the shop day and night)
I think I understood half of the vid, but watching and learning.
***** Thats called "fake it 'til you make it" and it's indeed a legitimate and effective strategy. Carry on!
Sure thing. I'm building a tank on my channel, but before I got into tanks, it was building cars. Still got to feed the need, LOL.
Whoa, i watched all your videos from like 3 years ago till today and i must say, you know alot of mitsubishi engines. I myself are a mercedes guy but these videos still are very interesting. Thank you and please keep making them. :)
I need to know the trick.... How do you turn an old leaking radiator into a shinny new aluminum unit :) I really enjoyed the tuning progress and its nice to actually see the Hyundai running down the interstate :)
TurboTalon I couldn't have done it without you, bro!
***** I owe you at least that much. You’r the one that welded my subframe and taught me how to use an editing software to create a TH-cam channel. Really, the pleasure is mine and I am glad to help.
TurboTalon I was just paying it forward because I knew some day I'd need you to tune my Hyundai. :P
***** now lets use those same magical instincts to go buy stocks :p
TurboTalon :( Those instincts are screaming, "buy ammunition!" right now... :( :( :(
The more i go through your videos, the more I understand that basically EVERYTHING that can break in a car, broke in yours^^ Great vids though!
+Domnaek The reality is, I drive reliable problem-free cars every day to a well paying day job. I collect, break and fix problematic old cars to unwind and relax. It's Jafro's play time. These are the most fun and challenging projects I've ever taken on. If I made videos about the reliable cars I drive every day, this channel would be about wax, oil changes, tires, wiper blades and 60,000 mile tune ups. To me, that sounds like work. ;)
Oil changes are boring, you´re right! :D
Epic vid jafro, keep it up! It's been a while sense we've seen you drive anything!
Jafro, I don't like to watch long videos on my phone because of my data plan. Now for you though. I watching every second of the video. Didn't understand the tuning part but the bit with the oil in the rad fluid.. HAD. ME. ROLLING!!! lol
I love your video! I was waiting impatiently for that next one. I'm eager to see drive that car on the drag track or see the result on the dyno. Thank you for your hard work! I learn a lot! Vincent;
Great Build and an entertaining one to say the least Jafro!
Worth the wait..
Not all rags are evils. But awesome tip on the separation of oil and coolant.
What an epic legendary build videos for the benefit of the all mankind!
This is now my favorite car channel. Secondary air filter Lmao.
Thanks for your awsome videos the time you put in them and the motivation to work on my own cars your a first class you tuber and know how to make good tv wish your videos were more often there so good they should be once a week .can't wait to see you driving it and for the awsome builds too come .great job jafro what you do makes great tv there not another car ch on TH-cam that's as good as yours........I'm sure alot of ppl who watch TH-cam like they do tv agree with me...
I watched the reaction to oil in the coolant 4 times.
Nice video jafro
you the man! I'm glad you got it running finally! happy for you.
Totally hate Hyundai's.. But really dig this build ! Awesome stuff going on ! Loads of info and your narration is very pleasant. One of the best tube channels found lately ! Thumbs up !
Somehow, I did not know that little fact about "oil rags." Thank you for that. :)
So, you had a t-shirt in your intercooler... Stylin'! Don't worry, I can do ya one better. First car I ever owned, when I was still learning about all this nifty stuff that later turned into my career... I had bought one of those accordion-style intake tubes from the local auto parts store to replace a aged and torn factory rubber section. Completely did not realize that it had separate rubber ends tucked up inside it. First drive out, wide open throttle, traffic light way up ahead turned yellow, lifted off the gas to step on the brake, and the car kept right on going. Sure enough, one of those rubber end pieces got sucked into the throttle body and wedged the plate wide open. Fun!
Thanks for the oil rag tip Jaf ...... That pretty much amazed me .....
that rag comment had me dying. great videos man. just found u a couple days ago and u have a new subscriber
Another awesome video jafro! The one thing i didn't pick up on the first time i watched this was that you never installed the wrong thermostat housing on the car, it was just some unknown foreshadowing for the new radiator that doesn't have a cap on it
TJJIM That was it. You just answered all of what I've left unanswered. You've clearly been paying attention! ;) Really, it was an honest mistake. Perhaps a few of my brain cells revolted, knowing this would happen and slipped that thing in there with good intentions, but I really wanted the old radiator to work out. The old Hyundai thermostat was on a shelf at eye-level over my workbench and I still missed it. It has to be some crazy kind of divine DSM intervention.
Please make tuning videos. Awesome to see it up and running at last!
That oil rag trick is awesome! 7:35
at first I was like "hell yes a new jafro video" then I saw the oil in the coolant and was like "oh hell no" then you made me happy with the rest of the video. Thanks for putting up awesome videos, first time commentor, but long time viewer. You inspire my garage built b5 s4, I wish I had the tenacity to do the kinds of videos you do. Thanks for putting up awesome videos.
S4Meow I was way more worried and it was just the oil cooler! I've been fooled by one of those oil coolers before as well. In my case I was fixing a customers car. Saw the coolant line leaking, thought like a dummy it was for oil. When I took it off and coolant came out?
Face palm! Duh, no wonder the customer's car was low on coolant! lol
...so in my case the oil/coolant mix up was what the tube was for instead of the different fluids, still an oil/coolant "mix up" haha.
Looks good. Be careful, vibration will make those little steel plates eat through the aluminum radiator tubes in a hurry.
I've got to squish some of the bugs in my engine bay. I'm almost glad it's not turbo (lie) after watching you go through all of this. The secondary airfilter made me lol though. lol
Loving the old school Mach V shirt!
good to see car out with few bugs removed ;) but thanks for making all those amazing video"s. cant wait to se more
the reg joke was the icing in the cake
Nice taste, same exact breaker I'm using :) but mine's still in the car, and its in the hatch. In fact all my distribution blocks are stinger.
***** Ahh the rag in the piping had me dying, When i first got into dsms years ago I couldnt make over 2-3 psi and worked on the car everyday for a month checking everything, turbo, compression, boost leaks, wastegate, ecu, etc etc... Collapsed flex section internally in exhaust, 3" down to a quarter size, talk about back pressure, My face was literally just like yours.
Good stuff man. Must feel nice just to get the damn thing out of the garage again let alone have it running good haha.
Love watching you work. I was beginning to think you never messed up. Good to know you are human too. ;P
Great video jafro, hope to see some more videos of the car in action, good thing you found the rag in the intake, its things like this that make for great public service announcements, paid for by the jafro foundation for a better boosting tomorrow [^u^].
Ur a genius jafro awesome video keep up the good work man i seen almost all ur videos i learned alot by just watching them be bless man
Love the videos. I always learn something .. Keep em coming.
Keep these coming we love it!!!
Maybe Exxon should buy stock in oil cloth so every time they have a spill they can lay big one on top of the be ocean
You the man Jafro. And again rojodelchocolate is the shit.
After tightening- slightly stretch wrap black duct tape around oil filter-to-housing interface. No worries.
Wow. No comments to display? O.o
This was good to watch. Sorry you missed the track day mate. :(
10:58 the victory dance - love it
what a great story ... all round fun!
dang that's a nice pull at the end!
Ahhhhh Jafro what are them magic oil collecting rags you used on coolant ps your vids and project Binky keep youtube awesome 🚗🚗🚗👮💷
Good idea putting two rad caps on Jafro you were thinking ahead
love the camel toe t-shirt, great work and thank for taking the time to tell us all about your build!! love watching these vids!! :) Congrats on the first start!!
Great video to help me sort out my airflow tuning
ALLANgCR7 I said something wrong in this video. I said that changing combinedFT changes AirFlowPerRev, but it's the other way around. Get airflowperrev in range with your global and deadtime, then adjust airflow in the SD table (or the fuel sliders if you're not SD) until you get your combinedFT to behave. ;)
Jafro, your back down to only one radiator cap? Thanks for the video.....not sure I understand it but I still enjoyed it!
JB Weld on some of the metal can stop the boost leaks between the welds. It is some powerful stuff. Stopped an evap and exhaust leak on my Audi.
jolmeaki That's exactly what I was thinking. I didn't want to resort to that, but it's what it's going to take. We used up the whole second bottle of Argon trying to fix it, and at $48 a refill, that "glue" solution is looking pretty good!
***** Unfortunate, but even for an experienced welder it's crazy hard to weld something that thin air tight. Miracle glue to the rescue!
Using my compressor turned down and soapy water...then JB weld. Oh yeah. An end to EVAP leaks baby! I was thinking I'd have to get a smoke tester. Even a simple home made one like features on Scotty Kilmer once.
DE Nichols I had to get a smoke test at a mechanic shop to find my leak. Found 2 leaks on a metal tube that leads to my charcoal canister that kept my CEL on. JB Weld on since March with no problems.
jolmeaki I'm tempted to just replace all the rubber tubes as they all come off easy and are flimsy.
Cool video again, keep it coming and thanks for sharing it us
Oh hell ya Jafro!
On the "rag". Classic!
You need to bring the Elantra up to EFI Specialties on the next (TBA) Dyno day!
Jafro...enjoy all your videos. Thanks for making them. I wanted to ask you if there is a chance you'd consider making a video of how you keep your shop/garage organized. I know you created a video series of garage reno's, but how do you keep tools, parts, fasteners, fluids, miscellaneous clips, connectors etc all organized? No matter what I find myself doing to keep organized, I still forget, misplace stuff.
Thanks
-Andrew
You've had problems using RTV for the J pipe? I used black RTV and havent really seen any issues with it. If anything it seems to be overkill.
Would also love to see a in depth series like you do, but building using a 100mm stroker crank, like is shown in the end of the "why so Sirius" video... So we can see how to build an affordable stroker, and can travel along with you on that adventure!
Seano Hutton Maybe someday... I have a spare 7-bolt block with nothing to put it in, but I have a whole lot of other non-stroked 6-bolt projects to finish first. :\
That's kewl, one day =)
what happened to the colt... The videos seem to finish once you finished the floor pan out, coated and painted... The last thing I could find was you finished out what seems to be all the rear drive running gear, and you said you would make it start and stop... But I ca t find those videos.... Where do I look to find those?
It's interesting because I have done a 2L, awd conversion into a cc lancer coupe in aust, very similar with cutting the floor pan ect...
I believe you guys call it the mirage...
Seano Hutton You would need to look in 2016 to find them. I wish I had that thing finished already, but 2 of my cars blew engines right as I got the Colt rolling on all 4's again... and I needed the garage back to fix them. Did I mention that I run a low-budget operation? No? Man I wish they were all indoors.
Haha, yeah, mate we all run low budget operations... I'm actually looking at some of the stuff in your videos and thinking man, that is good he has the proper gear.
I understand budget constraints... I was actually thinking I was looking in the wrong spot on your channel, I'm still just glad you haven't give up on the "mellow yellow"... Just sitting there, chillin... Maybe it could have the stroker?... It's doable 😈
For what it's worth I think you do a bloody good job with the channel, you have international support, surely to Christ, and for your "low budget" your outshining some big budget operations... Keep at it mate =)
Credit where credit is due! 👍
Another great video I hope to see some more driving of the car. I don't know how you do it; editing is a pain in the tail, I have a few videos I'm trying to finish editing but i never have the time.
Do you do your BLT with the engine at operating temperature or cold? I just did one on my 1g after an FMIC install while cold and getting a lot of air in the crank case. Wondering if that is a concern or if I should redo the test at op temp to see if it still bleeds. It's not popping up my oil dipstick but I can hear a woosh when I pull it or the oil cap off.. Any input would be great. Thanks @Jafromobile
Jaffro watch in your meticulous ingenuity and listening to your car knowledge blows my mind. Are you mechanic by trade? Because I've had a seized ej255 and I've managed to disassemble everything and ziploc small parts and then wrap everything in shipping shrink wrap to keep the parts from oxidizing any further, tomorrow, I'll be double checking my bearings and journal seats. do you have an email address that I could send you pictures of the disassembled block? any advice would be appreciated. Love your channel, it's been uber informative, still waiting on that red paint baked head project... keep it up man
A 9mm bullet casings work perfect for punching bolt holes in a gasket when your making your own, I have used this trick many times when making gaskets. But I understand not everyone has bullet casings laying around.
Sgt Balestrini I bet some people flipped out seeing your comment. To explain for them, it's a bullet casing. He's not shooting a whole in the metal. He's using the brass casing like a cookie cutter.
I only have .40 and .45 casings about, but great trick!
LOL! A problem non the less. Those pulls at the end sound good.
Hey jafro, not sure if you have a Facebook or not but there are a couple local groups that could greatly benefit from your expertise. We had a dyno day at efi specialties near Fredericksburg about 2 weeks ago and it would have been great to see the Hyundai there. Anyways, thank you for your videos. I know they've helped me and many others within and outside the dsm community.
Who would have known that this second coolant filler cap ends up to be the only one! There was someone who made you pick that part at first because he knows that the radiator was crap and you need to mount the other one anyways. Sometimes things happen because of an reason. And the dirty rag even explains why that thing did not like to startup at the begin at the first start... Air need to find the way around it first. But great work and shit just happens!
Great video! You remind me of Tom's turbo garage. Where is the wideband at?
I'm curious how long it took those steel zip tie backers to vibrate a hole in the radiator.
I don't know if it would work or not, but would something like JB weld help that leaky aluminum intake? I have never used it but I have heard good things about it.
