Alex: Hello Floatplane and welcome to the last video of Alex week. 2 00:00:04.104 --> 00:00:08.008 Today we're finally doing my favorite thing, which is upgrading cars. 3 00:00:08.008 --> 00:00:11.845 It doesn't always have to be mine but today it is and I'm very excited. 4 00:00:11.845 --> 00:00:16.483 Today we're going to be installing this massive front mount intercooler from CTS Turbo. 5 00:00:16.483 --> 00:00:18.952 They are local here and make excellent stuff; 6 00:00:19.152 --> 00:00:21.254 and you can really tell by just the sound of this one. 7 00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:25.859 Please put in guitar sounds there Sammy. 8 00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:26.393 Sammy: Hahahaha. 9 00:00:26.393 --> 00:00:30.964 Alex: The point of this is to lower the intake temperatures of the air in my car. 10 00:00:30.997 --> 00:00:33.967 Basically turbo compresses air, makes the air hot 11 00:00:34.067 --> 00:00:37.270 and you want that air to be nice and cool when it goes into your engine 12 00:00:37.303 --> 00:00:39.305 for many reasons that we'll get into later. 13 00:00:39.372 --> 00:00:42.609 The cooler is going to be placed right behind the bumper here; 14 00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:47.680 so if you look in there you can see the current radiator intercooler there combined in one. 15 00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:51.484 In front of that is going to be the great big front mount intercooler 16 00:00:51.484 --> 00:00:54.120 that will allow us to have just way more cooling. 17 00:00:54.154 --> 00:00:56.489 Alex: I have no clue how long this is going to take. 18 00:00:56.489 --> 00:00:57.957 Sammy: Hahahahaha. Alex: I have not done this before. 19 00:00:57.991 --> 00:00:58.658 Sammy: Oh no. 20 00:00:59.926 --> 00:01:03.863 Alex: You say oh no, but it looks like it's going to be like maybe an hour job? 21 00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:06.633 Two hours with filming and not knowing where tools are in the shop. 22 00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:11.304 Alex: Plouffe's car is so much easier, I need to get back there. 23 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.674 Sammy: I noticed that you had a Mighty Car Mod sticker. 24 00:01:14.707 --> 00:01:16.709 Alex: That was applied by Marty himself, 25 00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:20.113 Sammy: Wow. Alex: he took my car for a little drive while I was in the Honda 26 00:01:20.146 --> 00:01:22.649 and I did not know about this for weeks. 27 00:01:22.816 --> 00:01:24.050 Sammy: Hahahaha. 28 00:01:24.284 --> 00:01:27.921 Alex: It's so hard to see, because everything's covered in water and gunk. 29 00:01:28.555 --> 00:01:31.925 Sammy: Yeah we had... I guess it's the second day would you say? Of snow? 30 00:01:31.958 --> 00:01:36.396 Alex: Yeah second day of snow; everything as you can tell is snowy outside. 31 00:01:36.396 --> 00:01:37.230 Sammy: Hahaha. 32 00:01:37.397 --> 00:01:39.365 Alex: It's gonna be awful, because I need to do some stuff under the car; 33 00:01:39.365 --> 00:01:41.201 not a whole lot, but it's gonna be all wet. 34 00:01:41.701 --> 00:01:44.771 Alex: A lot of Golf GTI's are a real pain in the ass to jack up, 35 00:01:44.771 --> 00:01:50.477 because you cannot put the jack on the bottom of the oil pan like you can in many other cars; 36 00:01:50.610 --> 00:01:53.146 because the oil pan in this is made out of plastic. 37 00:01:54.147 --> 00:01:55.415 Great job VW. 38 00:01:55.515 --> 00:01:59.986 The lowest point of your car is really where you want to be saving a bunch of weight; 39 00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.523 especially when it's the part that matters the absolute most. 40 00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:08.294 Just disconnecting the battery, because we are going to be removing the front collision sensor. 41 00:02:08.294 --> 00:02:10.563 That's going to be fine, we'll put it back where it's supposed to be; 42 00:02:10.563 --> 00:02:13.366 but I just don't want the computer to know that ever happened. 43 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.937 Alex: First order of business is we need to take this grill right here off. 44 00:02:19.472 --> 00:02:21.908 There's just a couple of torques and it should come free. 45 00:02:21.908 --> 00:02:21.941 Sammy: Speaking of the cold, you told me that we can't see the result of this until it's warm outside. 46 00:02:21.941 --> 00:02:27.113 Sammy: Speaking of the cold, you told me that we can't see the result of this until it's warm outside. 47 00:02:28.414 --> 00:02:28.815 Alex: Yeah. 48 00:02:28.815 --> 00:02:29.916 Sammy: Hahahahahahaha. 49 00:02:29.916 --> 00:02:32.852 Alex: What Sammy is getting at is that this is going to make absolutely 50 00:02:32.852 --> 00:02:35.555 no difference whatsoever for many months. 51 00:02:35.588 --> 00:02:39.826 The intercooler is the sort of thing where once the air starts getting too hot 52 00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:45.598 there will be lower performance, but until that point it's not going to do a whole lot. 53 00:02:45.598 --> 00:02:49.802 This is going to be adding like 20-30 pounds? In pretty much the worst spot, 54 00:02:49.802 --> 00:02:51.704 because it's going to be at the very front of the car, 55 00:02:51.838 --> 00:02:56.509 in a car that already has a pretty bad weight distribution with too much weight in the front. 56 00:02:56.643 --> 00:03:00.346 So it's probably going to make this car marginally slower 57 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:03.650 until it gets above about 25 degrees celsius outside 58 00:03:03.950 --> 00:03:10.323 and then it will be so much better, because it very noticeably right now pulls back power; 59 00:03:10.356 --> 00:03:17.130 especially once you start getting above like 30 degrees celsius? It's night and day difference. 60 00:03:17.130 --> 00:03:19.065 Alex: Oh this is scary. 61 00:03:19.065 --> 00:03:22.068 So much stuff in cars it's just plastic clips. 62 00:03:22.302 --> 00:03:24.237 Alex: Oh this is more forced than I wanted; 63 00:03:24.370 --> 00:03:26.206 it's more forced than it looks like he did in the video. 64 00:03:27.574 --> 00:03:30.276 He's probably taking his car apart 20 times. 65 00:03:30.677 --> 00:03:32.779 Good old ShopDAP, excellent stuff. 66 00:03:32.912 --> 00:03:35.215 Alex: Oh this is scary, that's more forced than I want. 67 00:03:35.215 --> 00:03:40.353 I am very glad that I did not trust the amount of force that I had when I was pulling up, 68 00:03:40.386 --> 00:03:44.991 because it turns out that on mark seven and a halves you have to pull it this way. 69 00:03:45.024 --> 00:03:48.428 Three videos and two forum posts later I have found the technique. 70 00:03:48.461 --> 00:03:52.932 Alex: What you want to do is push towards the engine, and then pull out; 71 00:03:52.932 --> 00:03:55.401 Sammy: Yeeeeaaaah! Alex: and look at her there! Haha! 72 00:03:55.902 --> 00:03:58.171 Alex: That should have taken two minutes if I had the proper instructions. 73 00:03:58.171 --> 00:03:58.838 Sammy: Hahaha. 74 00:03:58.972 --> 00:04:00.240 Alex: Now you need to come off. 75 00:04:00.273 --> 00:04:01.207 Sammy: That was about 20 minutes. 76 00:04:01.341 --> 00:04:04.010 Alex: Yeah. I hate cars so much. 77 00:04:04.043 --> 00:04:09.716 They're like lego if all of the legos were super glued together 78 00:04:09.749 --> 00:04:12.986 and it only resulted in pain. 79 00:04:13.019 --> 00:04:17.190 Alex: Do you like my extra stubby? My extra stubby is a vice grip attached to some... 80 00:04:17.223 --> 00:04:19.692 Sammy: Oh, I didn't see that. 81 00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:21.794 Alex: Man, we could have picked a better day for this. 82 00:04:21.961 --> 00:04:22.528 Sammy: Hahahaha. 83 00:04:22.562 --> 00:04:23.596 Alex: Uuugh. 84 00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:24.631 Sammy: Ewww. 85 00:04:25.064 --> 00:04:26.666 Alex: This one the stubby can get. 86 00:04:26.866 --> 00:04:31.137 LTTstore.com; strongly recommended, especially for automotive. 87 00:04:31.137 --> 00:04:34.874 Man, the amount of times that this thing comes in useful is a heckin' lot. 88 00:04:34.907 --> 00:04:35.642 Sammy: Have fun laying down. 89 00:04:35.775 --> 00:04:38.978 Alex: Oh, this is gonna be so fun.

Dennis: A hammer, right. 293 00:12:40.392 --> 00:12:45.498 Alex: Uh, what might be funnier than a hammer is a reciprocating saw. 294 00:12:45.498 --> 00:12:46.565 Sammy: This is now just a BTS one. 295 00:12:46.565 --> 00:12:47.700 Sammy: Hahahahaha. 296 00:12:47.967 --> 00:12:49.969 Dennis: What's the right tool to be using? 297 00:12:50.436 --> 00:12:52.538 Alex: Definitely not the reciprocating saw. 298 00:12:53.272 --> 00:12:55.508 Dennis: Can you just stand there and just shake your head? 299 00:12:56.776 --> 00:12:57.309 Sammy: Get it done. 300 00:12:57.376 --> 00:12:57.643 Andrew: I'll do this a couple of times, okay?
