Diablo Sport is Holley's tuning division(?). Just bought a Diablo Soort Predator 2 tuner for my Silverado to turn off AFM and add power. was super simple and works great! @holley
2008 Cayenne Turbo for my "truck". 600hp with just a tune and completely stock otherwise. It's a "sleeper" with no Turbo badge on it. Hurts a lot of feelings up mountain passes.
I own a double pulleyed, ported Kompressor, larger intercooled, methanol injected 1998 SLK230, with a set of road cams and a tune. Makes 376 hp and 490lbft of torque from 2000 rpm. Lowered on Bilstein b14 suspension, camber corrected with camber king control arms. Gaps gt mustangs and rt's all day 😂
Watching Alex and Peter on a Saturday morning takes me back to watching cartoons and having a good time when I was a young lad. 😃 I’m looking forward to how to the finish product will look and sound.
Yes, 100%! I'm in Australia so it's a Sunday morning for me when I end up watching the video. But definitely gives me cartoons before school vibes for me as I head off to work after. haha
I think the same thing after, yes after, changing my subaru plugs. a couple of those cavities were dusty. I didn't blow them out with air, but that would have been good times to have had.
Alex be careful with the old ecu it looks like you got at least a 4 maybe a 6 lb lower pulley on it, maybe even a smaller snout pulley on that blower too, you need to make sure the tune is set up for this engine or you can get detonation.
These past few days watching my crypto portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much. Any ideas on how to earn better on the short run?
@@mariaalexander2755 These are what beginners do think, me to I used to think the same way...Thank God I met Mr Tom Hutchinson ...he helped me in trading and inculcate how the market works..
Tom Hutchinson is an expert trader, he uses both manual and algorithmic trading techniques while trading ... He is amazing and indeed professional in what he does.
The “diablo” decals are covering up the port on the ECU that was used when actual physical chips were installed on them to tune it. If you want to tune it using a flash tuner, take that off and make sure there isn’t a chip on there, otherwise it’ll override anything that is flashed on there. The other thing to keep in mind is that the SCT MAF you got with the new motor needs to be tuned for as well, it’s not plug and play. The upgraded MAF is important, just a pulley and a cool night can max out the OEM MAF
I got $15 that says that Diablo tune is what roached his old engine. I posted a comment above that it would be wise to get a proper dyno tune once the new engine is installed and verified working with no codes. I've seen first hand what a bad tune can do to an engine at my friend's shop. He has an Audi RS3 engine with inspection ports in the side of the block made by an exiting connecting rod done by, you guessed it a bad tune. Fluid Motor Union has a dyno and could fix him up.
love the content . Keep pushing. But In the future it’s always good practice to use compressed air and blow out the spark plug holes before removing them . Keeps a lot of that trash that can scratch cylinder walls out the engine .
im not stupid or anything but you got a 9k motor your bought off ebay motors for a truck to take it to ebay motor events ya i dont think so stop lying to your viewers either they gave it to you for free or they gave you a huge kick back to help pay for it
I don't think you understand what he is saying. He bought a $9,000 engine. He didn't say he paid that amount. They're most likely a sponsor. That's what sponsors do.
I’m glad the engine turned out to be good. I always clear the plug holes with an air gun and then put a couple drops of oil down them to keep any debris from dropping into the cylinder when I remove spark plugs.
Gee, I wonder how the donor truck got wrecked? Let's see, far too much power, in a vehicle with not much weight over the rear, with the rear suspension that dates back to the Coolidge administration. What could possibly go wrong?
Seriously, back in the very early 00s I had a black 1992 Acura Integra with bronze 16" Rota Slipstreams that I had done a bunch of engine work to and I pieced together a turbo kit from almost all junkyard parts. I got the turbo manifold from SSAutochrome eBay back in 2003 before they started selling cheap turbos, I paid $50 for a used Dodge Daytona T3 turbo, I paid $50 for a used front mount intercooler, I fabricated the downpipe and charge piping out of exhaust tubing, $75 for a set of DSM 440cc injectors, $100 for a Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump, a buddy of mine let me use his old Zdyne Gold SECU that he had in his EF Civic that he totaled, and I had the turbo's oil feed and drain lines made by a hydraulic shop. It went on to make 288 whp at 14 psi...without head studs. We used to drag race down the highway on the weekends back in the day and my car was one of the fastest once I put drag radials on the front. The only vehicle that could ever really edge me out was a 2002 Lightning that was a manual trans. He really used to piss me off because he would always brag about it afterwards and call my car Jap Scrap. He had alot of money in his truck though. It was black with 20" chrome wheels.
I always make an illustration on some cardboard of what I'm taking apart and stick the screws, nuts and bolts (think zip ties) into the cardboard. No mater how long its been I know exactly where the parts are and where they go. It's easy and works great.
@@SchoolforHackers Works for everything. Where are the nuts and bolts? Right here. Where can they be stored? Anywhere. Where does the nut or bolt go? Right where it shows on the picture. Never lose a thing and know exactly how it goes back together. Awesome. Cheers
Man. eBay motors is really leaning on TH-cam content creators for ads these days. All the sudden content creators are pushing eBay as a place to buy parts after thrashing them for years
Ebay is garbage now. Small sellers have been pushed out and they for you to take returns from buyers that know ebay will take their side. I used to do a lot on ebay and now I only use it when I cannot find something anywhere else. Usually I can't find it there either.
It's a pet peeve of mine when people don't clean the spark plug area BEFORE taking them out, because it's such an easy thing to do. You can clearly see what happens when you don't @ 15:40. It's quite a destructive thing to have all that crap in the cylinder, can easily ruin an otherwise perfectly good engine in no time. I mean, thousands of $$$ of damage because you can't take an extra minute to blow all that crap out??? 🤬
Happy you're doing a traditional type motor for the truck instead of a coyote of something like that. Eventhough you could get more efficiency and probability power at a cheaper price. Period correct, nostalgia and tradition matter; at leat to me they do.
Peters face when that thing started first time epitomised every emotion a car guy/girl could have if they did this themselves. And his smile didn’t disappear. LOVE IT 😍

Come on Alex Stop. EBay Motors is crap. I search a cylinder for a KX 125 and saddlebags with an eagle come up saying it fits my bike. I guarantee you no one in this entire world is putting saddlebags on a KX 125. There's thousands and thousands of group listings cluttering up the site. EBay accepts it because they make free money listing but they don't care about the buyer
My country has a stupid law where engine is not recognised as a spare part, so if you change the engine you need to change the engine number in the "vehicle permit". So what we do here is save the original engine and put whatever we like, but every year before the registration and inspection put back the original old one in. Stupid
Alex..."The torque converter converts torque..."Hahaha...Brought me back to high school auto shop with Mr. Greenhouse. He asked a class mate what an alternator does and the answer given was...the alternator alternates! 🙂
Those dents in the headers wont affect anything. David Frieberger on engine masters did a test and basically smashed a tube shut at the end. No matter how many dents they put in them, they still flowed well and the motor made the same power
25ft-lbs on the spark plugs and they will never blow out. I've been using that torque on all 4.6, 5.4, and 6.8 V10's for years now and never had one come back.

I unfortunately have a story behind the "make sure an engine is actually good"... ended up spending $900 on a motor for my 2003 Sequoia, had a video of it running emailed to me, looked good, bought it, fired it up, and threw a rod out the block… The scrapyard blamed it on me, saying that I did the timing belt wrong :( All within the span of a week and they refused to give me a CENT back Screw city auto wreckers lol

Noticed that same odd gasket thing on my 1999 Mustang GT passenger cylinder head when I supercharged it. I was told that Ford used the head in a variety of different applications and some had intake manifold bolt styles. Therefore the gaskets accommodate for either style intake manifold.
Hi, I saw you owned youre 2nd Cadillac escalade . God bless that nothing happened to youre family on that accident on you're First Escalade .

Right at the front of the truck where things can bash it. It's a white ceramic horseshoe 🧲 looking with two wires. Cheers.
Why don´t you clean up the spark plug holes beforehand? Just a bit of brake cleaner and compressed air and you won´t have so much dirt fallen into the cylinders.....
The re-install will be great! I am so keen to see how the Lightning performs with this stock engine with the supercharger it came with compared to the one that came with the lightning when you bought it. I am certain you did some performance runs! Even if you didn't you have to do some and compare it with the rebuilt engine.
Great video. Good luck remembering where everything goes. You and Peter... A dynamic duo. Gonna have to push it to make that 2 week deadline. Keep on trucking.
You really should have blown out those spark plug holes with compressed air before removing them, a lot of dirt got in which can scrape up the cylinder wall...
Why would you put the SCT MAF on when your truck had a stock MAF? Gotta match the MAF with the tune... so unless you have the junkyard trucks ECU, stick with the MAF ur truck came with.

It's always a good practice to blow out the Spark plug area with compressed Air before you pull the plug so dirt doesn't fall into the Piston area.
That was making me cringe. Guess he knows he's just making a video and is going to sell it on fleabay.
That was annoying me, the amount of dust and dirt falling down into the cylinder
I think the same thing after, yes after, changing my subaru plugs. a couple of those cavities were dusty. I didn't blow them out with air, but that would have been good times to have had.
I was dying inside when he did that then he did a compression test dry with dirt on the cylinder walls

Seems to me you over paid here in Cali wee have those blowers 2500 used vmp with that money could of got a 3.6 kenne bell and sounds way better I have 3.4 whipple makes 850 hp for 3000 full kit if anyone interested
I cringed as that trash dropped into the cylinders when he scoped it. Blow out the spark plug wells before pulling the plugs.
this will probably be a decent buy but for price you could have gotten a crate motor - oh sorry you are doing a build also - prime!
Sounding great guys can’t wait always a pleasure !!😎👍🏻🦅🇺🇸
Noticed that same odd gasket thing on my 1999 Mustang GT passenger cylinder head when I supercharged it. I was told that Ford used the head in a variety of different applications and some had intake manifold bolt styles. Therefore the gaskets accommodate for either style intake manifold.
Hi, I saw you owned youre 2nd Cadillac escalade . God bless that nothing happened to youre family on that accident on you're First Escalade . I was planning to buy a used one but so Hesitant with all the Bad reviews ive have seen, I just want you're suggestion , hows the CUE dash screen been doing with your escalade , How about the engine and transmission ? I really need your input Brother
Yep.. i hear ya on the rods. I ordered manley rods back in early may... its september and im still waiting. Supposedly in mid November manley might be shipping them out but i have my doubts.
Soooo….beyond the fact that I’m just a huge fan of this channel and all of the random vehicles you work on, I gotta say. Peter is the perfect kind of eye candy, he’s HAWT! Keep up the good work y’all!
The fuel pump resistor on the front frame missing is causing your issue. Guys make sure that thing is good. These trucks will strand you if that thing goes bad. It's in a bad location too. Right at the front of the truck where things can bash it. It's a white ceramic horseshoe 🧲 looking with two wires. Cheers.
Why don´t you clean up the spark plug holes beforehand? Just a bit of brake cleaner and compressed air and you won´t have so much dirt fallen into the cylinders.....
The re-install will be great! I am so keen to see how the Lightning performs with this stock engine with the supercharger it came with compared to the one that came with the lightning when you bought it. I am certain you did some performance runs! Even if you didn't you have to do some and compare it with the rebuilt engine.
Sad stuff, I smoke those trucks with a 5k small block Chevy, in a 70s stepside all stock gearing etc. Id be pissed I dumped all that money in a slug.
…We all LOSE the 10mm socket Alex…no one ever finds them again lol :^D
Great video. Good luck remembering where everything goes. You and Peter... A dynamic duo. Gonna have to push it to make that 2 week deadline. Keep on trucking.
Lots of junk fell into that cylinder @15:45. Hopefully ya got it all cleaned out before the startup!
Those valve covers are very nice, bravo to the dude that hooked them up
It’s a great team of Alex and Peter making that beast come alive! Can’t wait to see you both put it back together! Keep up the great work!
You really should have blown out those spark plug holes with compressed air before removing them, a lot of dirt got in which can scrape up the cylinder wall...
Why would you put the SCT MAF on when your truck had a stock MAF? Gotta match the MAF with the tune... so unless you have the junkyard trucks ECU, stick with the MAF ur truck came with.
I’d personally just hold onto the engine as a spare if you blow up the built engine for something like this that’s high HP.
