Kirill (Cyril) is a very, very knowledgeable dude. I met him last summer (as well as the rest of the Garage 54 team), he is very well-versed in cars overall and in JDM in particular.
Hey guys! We have a few of these builds in the archive, tell is what you think about this one, and whether you'd be interested to see the other Russian car based creations we've made in the past. Cheers!
What wait a minute all those cool old chrome bumper Ladas get killed and this nugget gets to be reborn? Garage54 is truly a crazy place. One of those really old ones would make an incredibly cool sleeperskovich
This Ivan dude may have a baby face and his eyes look like he smoked a ton of weed but damn, he is literally spearheading all of these crazy projects. If you follow the channel for a while you will notice him everywhere. He is so skilled, hard working and resourceful he is kind of guy who can find a solution for everything and improvisation is a second nature. I admire this kind of people.
about 6 years ago I was going to do this with a 1997 ford escort, using a 305 chevy... was going to have the engine so far back in the fire wall that 4 of the 8 cylinders would be under the dash. but the floor of the car is so rusty that it would need a full cage installed for structural support, 305ci chevy does fine in a 6000lb truck, lolz @ 1900lb car.
Why use a rusty vehicle as a base car for a project ? And the engine would happily live in the engine bay, you just fit the radiator in the trunk. You'd only have a bit of the gearbox under the dash.
Ohhh, I thought you were going to put the FWD drivetrain in the back. You guys come up with some crazy stuff but I think you really could have picked a nice body for this build. Soon I will have videos of adding a FWD drive train the the rear of a car that still has it's FWD in place also. Twin engine AWD. : ) It's is going to be fun
One of my favorite channels...Always doing something unthinkably awesome. It's like hackery but skilled hackery at it's best. Mistakes and all, nothing hidden or "churched up" for the videos. I like to think about what you guys could build if you had time and endless resources. Something like a show quality supercar with 10 seats or something so the whole crew can go road racing or 200 mph at the same time. Thanks for the fun!! Aloha.
You guys should hook up four brake masters directly to each corner of the car's brakes and operate them with a lever mounted to a ball at the bottom, simulating a joystick. Space the masters (or even use clutch masters, no need for a tandem piston setup) out in an X arrangement. Use the brakes to steer. Hook up the throttle to the steering wheel. Organize a race with your crewmen.
Please swap a Rear Wheel engine to a front wheel with everything of a front wheel parts. As in, The car would still drive with the front wheel but will have a rear wheel engine in it
Would like to see a crazy drive system. both drive wheels on only one side. so driver side will have front and rear drive, but passenger will just have free spinning tires. curious how it would work.
I would need a 1700cc engine, most likely from a Niva. I got wild idea for that powerplant, but it seem pretty hard to find those nowdays from Finland :/
I like how this episode has the other mechanics hosting as well... They never get to talk much

I can never tell if Ivan has had too much caffeine or not enough.
It's those hollow eyes!
No he use vodka man and he wears adidas to keep him warm
Iven is a badass person, great fabricator
I think his name is Ivan, but I still agree with you :D

Yes, very interested
There's not a ton of Russian car culture translated into English on TH-cam. The more you can put up and preserve the better!
Yes!
Absolutely! Please!
Well, so far I would rate this at 110% success, so yah, let's see some more.
What an EPIC job. You are certainly one of the most interesting channels on youtube. Please keep up the good work.

But... they're already rwd
Just swap in a 1UZ from a Toyota Celsior and you've already got a sleeper)
Chrome = nasty
@@brendanberry7403 but everything is chrome in the future!!

Totally agree! Clever guy, can do just about anything!
After all these years. I'm glad to see you engine swapping and making conversions. Keep it up.
Funny how most FWD to RWD builds are done in like a few years on youtube but russians are a diffrent breed, they do it in no time :D
Most u tubers rwd a fwd car here's a 19 part series just for startup . Garage54 . Hack ,weld here's the start up

For me, if it turns out to be rusty, I'll get another car and graft the entire underpinnings to rusty body
Unexpected content, not the usual garage 54 but I’m glad I clicked anyways. This is awesome to see.
Next week.... fitting Lada engine, running gear and suspension to a Ferarri Testerosa!
I was impressed with the sound deadening etc that was fitted to the Lada.
Man I really like that they make the transmission tunnel look like factory made,gosh love that
Exactly what i was thinking.... They did a fantastic job on the trans tunnel fab
Ohhh, I thought you were going to put the FWD drivetrain in the back. You guys come up with some crazy stuff but I think you really could have picked a nice body for this build.

Project idea... see if you can change the firing order of an engine, that might be neat. Like modify a cam etc.
That's been done, in a way. You can use a cam for a 289/302 Ford in a 351 Windsor (different firing order) and vice versa.
It has? Eh bummer.
I love these guys they never run out of ideas 😎 thank you Bmi Russian for the translation
yeah first time i have seen any serius project in this channel.
Hey, c'mon now. :^) They take all of their projects seriously. I know what you're saying though.

Would be cool to see if you guys could make it to one of cleetus's burnout events
Now that would be a dream come true! That would be awesome
I wanna see this car in action ! Well done so far guys... great build ! 👍👍👍
I thought you were going to put the front drive train in the rear of the car making it a mid engine lol but this is good too...
not a bad idea tho...
That idea is truly awesome and lock the stearing or have rear stearing i think this should be next

While I primarily subscribed to see the weird mods, I do kinda like builds like these!
By far this is the best channel on TH-cam
When Ivan gets older, he's going to have some crazy stories to tell his kids.
ya, stories about those old wierd but cool ICE cars.
Lot of crazy stories* :):)
It is like a reverse lesson for product management: remove convenience, cost & weight
Looking forward to part two!!.
Awesome project guys. You're all some damn talented fabricators.
Reddit: "fwd to rwd is impossible!"
Garage 54:
So happy to see the perfect evolution of this channel’
Ivan's got skills!
I sincerely hope all the G54 boys are staying safe during this terrible time.
Cool project! You guys make it look so easy!
SR20DET swap 🤩❤️💪
Awesome! Thanks to all.
Love too see how this one turns out. Good job. 👍
I like this project ... More good stuff from G54
Cool, I'd love to see this when it's done
You guys are awesome :) i cant stop watching you and waiting everyday for a new episode :) Good job!!
Loving the build Gents.
Nice! Can't wait for next installment!
This is boss. They make it look so easy 😁
I am a huge fan
Song at 7:37 is:
BEAUZ (ft. Lenii) - Not That Brave
In case anyone was looking for it, coz I was.
Brilliant build guys.
The year 2000 called, they want their backwards hat back.
I have a suggestion! Try to put a Torque converter, in a manual car, and take out the cluntch! Will it be able to shift smothly??

This video is most interesting i think
Nice!
Fuckin awesome job keep with the videos ,congrats from Brazil
Garage 54 needs LS motors

This is MENTAL !
"Enough with the chit-chat?" Did you translate that correctly? Our host usually loves to talk for at least four minutes before any work gets done.
gotta be sarcastic since Ivan wasn't offering a single word
i would like to give ivan a hug he seems very sweet
He's a cool guy.
This looks awesome. From a Nissan nut to anothers!
I cant wait to see this one....
Finally interesting stuff!
At least these people are thinking out side the of WORLD!😂😂😂
Would like to see a crazy drive system. both drive wheels on only one side. so driver side will have front and rear drive, but passenger will just have free spinning tires. curious how it would work.
I dont think it would work very well, as you would have continuous torque steer on one side of the car. Imo.
I would need a 1700cc engine, most likely from a Niva. I got wild idea for that powerplant, but it seem pretty hard to find those nowdays from Finland :/
SR20DET my fav 4 cylinder engine :D
4:42 Jeremy Clarkson makes a guest appearance on the show.
Like how the guy awkwardly puts in the battery and the next cut it’s gone 😂
How about front wheel drive, rear wheel steering? Could turn out interesting...
My level engineering fun yay
In my country for this kind of swaps they usually use BMWs ❤
You are amazing guys!
The skylada sx. That's actually sounds like a real production name nissan would use.
How are you doing today my friend I'm doing good myself today
Sr 20 in a lada what next lol I’m here for it
Runs ok. Pretty sure exhaust gas ain't meant to come out the coolant pipe
uk love ya vids, crazy dudes ✌👍👀
Great video, I like this content also!!
WHAT CAMERA USE IT???🤔🤔🤔
Hey Garage 54, I am always curious about a car with 2 engines, 1 for fwd and 1 for rwd.
Make it happen if it is possible
They already did this with Toyota Camry
Made it a 5.5 litre v12 awd
Love it!😆👍👍👍👍
Is it ok too wash engine bay like that ?
Dope I need to do that with my Kia so I can drift it at meets
I already have a RWD Korean car, made in the 80s :D
Make a video where the engine and gearbox are mounted out on the roof and the gearknob hangs inside throu the roof so that you can change gears. 😄
You should remove the rod bearings inside the engine and see how it runs
Nice
That turbo is DONE
Throw a huge turbo in it!!
Nicee, whys it smoking out of the coolant port tho xdd
Engine is getting warm and burning off any leftover coolant, I'll guess.
A couple nissan sr20s would pull a premium one week before race wars
Epic. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
What about your bus build I’m waiting for it
I'll love to see conversions to electric drive.
One song isn't listed in description...
Türkiye 'den selamlar güzel işler yapıyorsunuz başarılar.
All this hard work and less than 50K views as of December 1st! Come on people....start clickin' on this video and watch some cool shit!
exhaust was literally coming out of the thermostat housing lmao
Oo nice change up
add a medium intercooler and turbo
SR20! Holy fuck! That explains why they bought so much performance stuff
Amazing i allso want to do that
