WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.319
previously on lineus car tips we've made great strides modernizing ploof vehicle

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:12.519
with Android auto power Windows and this sick ass paint job but unfortunately the

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:18.580
engine has been having some problems it overheats leaks oil and most recently

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.279
developed an Australian

00:00:20.279 --> 00:00:27.640
accent good day mate that's right we are here to modernize this Honda Civic with

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:34.239
some nice fancy bits like new wiring looms a dash a htech and the train SPS

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:38.000
know what this is K Ser K series engine that's right and the best part is all of

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:43.559
this modernization is going to come without modern car nonsense like selling

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.719
your data to the highest bidder we've also got a brand new DSP to bring the

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:52.239
audio into the 2020s and frankly this project has gotten out of control lers

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:56.600
has literally no idea what is on the go you just say you're working on a crappy

00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:59.120
Civic and everyone shows up what I do

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.719
have a clue about is how we paid for it massive thanks to the ridge for

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.520
sponsoring this video without them this project would not have been possible

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.680
flights from Australia to Canada not cheap so make sure you support the

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.159
people that support cool projects what's even better is you can get a free air

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:19.360

00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:44.360
I have to say I feel like this has gotten a little bit out of control when we first discussed this project we were

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.960
going to be performing a couple of tasteful modifications

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:56.600
but can someone please tell me what the plan is love to this engine out in the

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:59.680
bin yeah K24 Honda's best engine

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:00.439
arguably in so we just take this piece

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:08.360
out yes uh that in the transmission everything you can see is coming out in

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:11.239
the next hour or so and then we have all

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.959
of that and a pallet of stuff and another pallet of stuff and as a bonus

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.879
we're going to pull everything else out of the car as well that's underneath it exhaust suspension breaks the whole lot

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:23.360
and change all that Alex you were responsible for controlling the scope of

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:27.920
this I said multiple times to him is that going to add scope and he was like

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.720
it's fine what's scope just two more

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:34.160
questions you guys have seen the car now is is this really worth the

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:39.159
effort I can't answer that but we know that it we we know that it leaks oil we

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.480
know that it knocks do you know how much power it made 89 horsepower to the

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:46.440
wheels not bad that's bad we know it's

00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:50.800
automatic we should change we can change all this engine just needs to go are you

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:53.319
turning it into a manual yeah oh yeah oh yeah we're also doing a sound system is

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:58.159
that scope no why are we changing it to a

00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:01.920
manual transmission what is that even a question this guy's only got two years

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.680
he doesn't understand anymore now tell me this was this engine ever designed

00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:11.360
for this chassis like was there a version of this car that had this better

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.400
engine in it not in the US now there was a hatchback that came with a K20 and

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:19.760
this is essentially the same as the Acura RSX or they call it the Integra in

00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:24.000
Japan so that chassis is almost identical to this the difference being

00:03:21.959 --> 00:03:28.080
that on the K series the engine sits over here transmission sits over here

00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:32.519
yeah so there's some stuff welded onto the frame rails that prevent you from

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:34.360
just just bolting it in so that's why we

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:38.879
make a mount kit so that you can then bolt in what used to not bolt in and

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:45.239
that's your business that's my business Godfather of K swaps very cool so we're

00:03:41.799 --> 00:03:48.360
going from 1.7 L to 2.4 so we're well to

00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:52.079
me not a car person I hear that is we

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:55.000
are going from a sedan engine to an SUV

00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:58.159
engine not really we're going to the TSX Type S engine that's actually the engine

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:03.840
that's going oh okay I thought you said it was the same one you have in the CRV I did cuz I put a TSX engine in my CRV I

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.879
don't expect you to remember but there will be a test later TSX RSX SI but it's

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.760
my brain is swimming with Honda stuff but also the engine that's actually

00:04:11.079 --> 00:04:18.600
going in is from an odyssey it is but it's the equivalent of the

00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:23.479
American one thing I do feel like car people underestimate though sometimes is

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:28.440
the complexity of something as simple as what you're doing right now because I

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:33.080
don't know you know where the proper point is no but other people don't know

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:34.639
how to bond 10 gig fiber to make 25 GBS

00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:37.919
and what kind of whether they should use a aggregation switch or a normal switch

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.039
like this is all stuff that you oh yeah fine it's the same you know what I love though there's a real DIY sense that I

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.120
feel like tech people and car people all share it's like they just love hacking

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:51.720
stuff building things like building a ped building a car it's all in the same

00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:57.639
wheelhouse oh oh someone put something under it while we were talking like

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.639
nothing

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:06.720
everything in here is going to get replaced so we're going to change suspension we're going to change the

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.120
brakes we're going to change the calipers we're going to put new drive shafts in it I don't know these calipers

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.560
look pretty good to me they look good but they're not big enough cuz we're going to make it real fast it has to

00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.919
stop as well it's like a safety thing apparently this is the stock shock

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.680
absorber it does what it says it absorbs shocks that's the spring that's the

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.600
damper um these often get very very worn out over time so if you're modifying a

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:32.400
car like we are it's a good time to upgrade them which we are doing and that

00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:36.120
is a fully adjustable one meaning we can adjust the height of the car and we have

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:39.199
some control over how the car handles as well the suspension that's a complete

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.199
replacement unit so you put the original one completely in the bin you put that

00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:45.160
in your car and you have a great time and your car looks way

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:50.120
better this is the back end of the car the rear suspension it's independent

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:55.120
meaning that that side can go up and down independent of this the sway bar kind of joins it together to make it

00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:59.240
handle a bit better all this is going away we've got new suspension to go in

00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:02.919
and also new arms and new brakes it's kind of another game I want to play it's

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.360
going to be called which part on the table is worth more than the entire car

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:11.080
I'm going to go with this one it looks pretty but no he'll probably trade it if

00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.759
you had one of these you might get a whole car is this aluminum though uh

00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:18.919
yeah it is cast aluminium and then it's got all like breathers and stuff so all

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:22.360
that collects all the oily air and yeah it's it's cool how about this one

00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:26.720
headers this has got to be worth more than the car this is great cuz this makes power we like this cuz it gets the

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:30.160
exhaust out of the engine um definitely worth more than the car um a really nice

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:33.720
piece all mandrel Bandon welded and stuff in there I wouldn't even be

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:36.880
surprised if this cable harness is worth more than the car this this is one of my

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:40.840
favorite things cuz you can spend 2 or 3 days wiring this from scratch or you can

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.639
buy one of these that has all the plugs and connectors and you just maybe change

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:48.000
a couple of things here to get it to do what you want depending on what computer you're using that's super cool there's a

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:54.280
lot of folks that make that kind of thing yeah there are all over there's a huge aftermarket for these sort of parts

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:57.560
and um yeah just saves time we're taking the dash out yeah we're going to take

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:02.440
the dash out we're going to replace it oh oh I guess we need to put like a

00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:06.120
Teter in it cuz it's manual now like no not like the Fast and Furious big taco

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.560
thing no no no no we're going to put an LCD screen in it we're oh we're oh we're

00:07:08.599 --> 00:07:15.160
going to put a screen in we're going to put a full HCK Dash in it what yeah oh

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.599
my God this seems so unnecessary custom colors miles man an adapter for this

00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:24.199
particular car how good is that so that will read all the information from the

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.080
htech ECU directly up on here and we can

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:32.520
have different settings different alarms different colors this piece alone is worth

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:36.919
probably 3 to 4X the value of this entire car but wait till you see it is

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:41.479
going to be worth every penny when you see this sort of riding on apart it's

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.080
come from a wre up so this has been replaced at some point in this car's

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:48.520
life oh hilarious lower miles so we have

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:53.919
no idea how many kilometers are on this engine then Alex asked me to be a

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.400
screwdriver fery and just kind of come around and get you guys all an LTT

00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:01.360
screwdriver than you it turns out we already have one of these cuz we bought

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.800
one oh cuz we made a little surprise for you you bought you know you don't have

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:08.879
you didn't have to yeah I know but but then it wouldn't be a surprise oh I see so this is the new shifter that's going

00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:12.319
to make it manual wow that looks like it's also another thing that's worth

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.759
more than the entire car yeah but we got one of your thingo and we actually

00:08:14.599 --> 00:08:19.759
adapted it that's going to be the shifter are you kidding me how cool and

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:24.000
it's going to be usable so you can pull it out fix your computer and then put it

00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:29.919
back in your get shifter yeah thought you might like that all

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:32.800
right so that is a subframe that holds the engine in the engine's still being

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:36.599
kept in by those two mounts are on the top but all our brakes and all this

00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:41.120
stuff can go away next step is to pull the engine out the top okay so final

00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:46.600
stages now this is we're getting there coming out it is it goes from rust

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:51.320
bucket to to empty rust bucket

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.880
yeah Alex this is Ariana's yeah what

00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:56.959
what is this called like engine engine crane engine hoist yeah that's Ariana's

00:08:54.760 --> 00:09:02.760
hoist she had The Misfortune of owning a rotary imagine if it was like this at

00:08:58.839 --> 00:09:05.200
your dentist up a bit come on come on

00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:09.320
what your dentist isn't like that which way do I twist it uh counter any

00:09:06.920 --> 00:09:13.800
clockwise down so did you just say any clockwise anti anticlockwise anticlock

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:17.360
what I've gleaned is that they've actually never done this before like

00:09:15.640 --> 00:09:21.600
they've done this but every other time they had proper equipment and they

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:28.000
dropped it out the bottom yeah and so the engine she's stuck basically it kind

00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:30.320
of seems like it uh-huh just a bit okay

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.760
worst case we know friends right over there that have a proper lift oh yeah

00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:40.399
would we have to put the wheels back on it to drag it on there drag it over there or

00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:44.399
oh nice what made you guys decide that this was worth all the effort power

00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:48.839
what's why are you overclock stuff no no I mean you guys comeing all the way up

00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:53.600
here to work on this piece of cuz we like you guys cuz we know that there's a

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:57.640
lot of fans here that like what we do and also we get to hang out with all our

00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:01.320
mates yeah okay all right this is fun okay I it doesn't look like it now

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:08.720
beautiful where it belongs not in the car so the problem we're having is um

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.600
all the parts that we shipped about a week ago from the US are stuck in

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:17.240
customs uh so we're getting on our phones and we're just trying to work out

00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:20.399
a backup plan in case uh that stuff never arrived cuz we' only got like I

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:23.720
think 72 hours to get this done DED finished driving everything finished so

00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:28.360
if we don't have that stuff in the next 24 hours we're in trouble so the backup

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:30.959
plan is to get either an RSX or a TSX um we can use those parts and then then get

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:36.800
some of Brian's Parts like shipped overnight or maybe shipped to Washington and do a midnight run to go pick them up

00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:40.920
yeah that might be what happens we'll see did I just hear you correctly the

00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:45.360
engine that we're putting in here is not here not here Washington's a different

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.519
country right yeah it is yeah that's where the engine is in Washington wait

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.639
we don't have it yet no we have other stuff to do but at some point we're going to run out of stuff to do when we

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:57.000
have no engine when were you guys going to tell me this yeah there's cars in the

00:10:55.120 --> 00:11:02.240
car park with engines yeah actually I think your camera guy's got the same engine in his car and he actually

00:11:01.160 --> 00:11:07.560
he said we can have his engine so we're going to pull his car apart exactly what we just did and put his engine in this

00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:12.680
and then when the one from Washington eventually makes it then you guys can put that back in cuz you'll see how to

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:16.720
do you know how to do it now yeah why does everyone look so worried what are

00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:19.720
you worried about there no it's in a different country it's fine we don't

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.160
have different countries next door like you do oh I see where we stashed the

00:11:21.800 --> 00:11:27.440
original door openers you just hucked them in here just in case he ever needs them yeah all of the crap from the

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:33.360
projects was just in the back of loof's car which he never removed correct but

00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:37.959
maybe he will now that we have vastly improved it you see this I do this trunk

00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:46.000
panel yeah that's a trunk panel right complete garbage yeah so what we're

00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:48.240
going to do okay so this can go in here

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:54.279
barely but then you see this hole rate here yeah Sebastian just finished what's

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:56.040
going there oh it's little LTDs it's the

00:11:54.279 --> 00:12:01.440
same pattern that's on the uh bomber jacket on the inside oh cool so that's

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:06.320
going to be over the sub and it's going to be just filled with RGB it's going to

00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:08.040
be amazing oh my god let's talk car

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:11.959
audio and how to make your car sound extra sick the first thing you have to

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:16.120
do is just completely blow apart your interior that is mandatory but the

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.160
second thing that you can do and that doesn't require a large investment is to

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:23.760
put in sound ending this stuff right here is fantastic and even if you don't

00:12:22.079 --> 00:12:28.320
want to be removing your speakers and stuff like that sound ending in your car

00:12:25.800 --> 00:12:31.680
will make a very noticeable difference the next step is get power we are going

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:35.480
to have all of our amplifiers in the rear of the car which means that we need

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.720
power in the rear of the car this right here is some 4 gauge wire from New

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.639
Concepts they sent over all of our RCA cables Terminals and all of that stuff

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:47.160
just make sure to do your math because if you don't have the right size wires

00:12:45.560 --> 00:12:51.160
they will set on fire there's really easy Guides Online on how to do that so

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:55.320
just look it up don't bring your car to the ground speaking of not lighting your

00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:59.399
car on fire make sure to have fuses right beside the battery this right here

00:12:56.920 --> 00:13:02.399
is 100 amp one from New Concepts as well and this cable is running through the

00:13:00.839 --> 00:13:06.360
firewall and will eventually be attached to the battery once that is actually

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:09.760
inside of the car next you need the audio signal from your head unit we were

00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:14.240
able to run RCA cables up here because we have an aftermarket head unit but if

00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:18.560
you want to maintain your factory oem1 you might have to use something like the

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:23.360
lc2i this will convert your speaker outputs into usable low-level stuff on

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:27.519
the RCA that you can throw in the back of your trunk also make sure to get the

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:31.000
pro model I have the normal one right here took it out of my car sounds way

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:35.360
better with the pro the signal coming from the front is going to be going into

00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:41.040
our DSP right here this is the mini DSP 8x12 DL this is really the star of the

00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:45.279
show there's absolutely no way to make a car a good Listening Room like think

00:13:43.079 --> 00:13:49.040
about it like in a home theater you can add sound eny you can move around your

00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:53.160
speakers in a car that is just not possible you need Windows which are hard

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:57.160
and they are very reflective for sound so we're going to try and compensate for

00:13:54.920 --> 00:14:00.839
that by using room correction software it can do second order impulse filter

00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:05.600
ing what that means I don't know but I can make the computer make this make it

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:10.759
sound incredible in there everything's going be in Phase it's going to sound

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:13.800
sick from the DSP we go into our amps we're going to be running what's called

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:18.279
a fully active setup which means that we do the crossovers in the DSP that is

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:21.680
going from like the woofer in your door to the Tweeter up top normally you'd

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:25.240
have a little box that takes care of that but instead we are doing that with

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:30.279
computers that also means that we need a dedicated channel on the amp for each

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:34.639
individual speaker which is why we have big amp for the fronts and the sub and

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:37.800
little amp for the rears because frankly they don't really matter don't upgrade

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:43.199
your rear speakers we're going to because Pioneer sent over stuff but you

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:49.160
don't need to it's really fun to hold this oh yeah wow that felt lovely uh-huh

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:55.440
do you want to pause there for a sec uh yeah hey Mar you want to come back here

00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:56.399
great timing Alex nice hat feels great

00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:02.399
that's good that's going to give you lots of protection from the Canadian sunshine are we leaving it up no we need

00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:06.199
to take it off because we have a wing to put on have you seen this do you this

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:10.880
this at all no I want to see it the guys over at aerofab they make custom VW

00:15:08.839 --> 00:15:15.720
spoilers and stuff for the most part they don't do Hondas but here we have

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.720
he's actually

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:21.959
stuck we went bought another trunk lid

00:15:20.079 --> 00:15:25.639
because they're super cheap and it's way easier to 3D scan with it off do you

00:15:24.199 --> 00:15:29.199
want to do it's made for this car specifically it's made specifically for

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:36.279
this car oh that's so cool can I open it yeah let

00:15:31.079 --> 00:15:38.880
go oh my God what the hell is this this

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:43.399
better be for a Porsche no this is for a Civic that's really lot oh yeah it's

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:47.279
carbon fiber a nice way to tell if a Wing's legit is if it has an actual

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:53.480
Arrow foil shape to it so if you look here it legitimately looks like a planes

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.440
Wing oh my God this is huge put it on

00:15:53.480 --> 00:16:00.759
yeah go all right have fun Jake oh bloody hell I'm going to put it

00:15:58.839 --> 00:16:03.399
on backwards you have instructions just follow them it's not that hard Jesus

00:16:02.199 --> 00:16:09.000
Christ actually it is pretty hard I looked at them it's this is like a race

00:16:06.199 --> 00:16:13.839
car part it's not the most simplest naturally a wing of this magnitude

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.880
magnificence one might even say needs to be mounted pretty securely I was kind of

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:22.519
worried about it but they actually kind of reused the stock mounting points for

00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:27.920
the trunk which is great but this bracket it doesn't sit on top and bolt

00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:31.800
through up here it needs to go through the entire trunk

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:34.759
kind of like that I'm going to have to do a lot of cutting I think this is

00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:40.519
going to be noisy oh there's nothing in

00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:45.560
there why why am I doing all of this hello you're not going to hear it not

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:48.639
going to hear it at all sorry Alex hello

00:16:45.560 --> 00:16:51.319
Jake oh was it

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.279
muffled no not really sometimes cars fight back a little bit they don't want

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:59.710
to be modified it's starting to fight us just a little bit now it knows it's nearly

00:16:56.800 --> 00:17:05.439
time to start it

00:17:05.439 --> 00:17:11.799
our customs agent took the day off so uh

00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:20.319
we just traveled 3 hours but look at this' got a Brian we've got a K24 in the

00:17:15.959 --> 00:17:20.319
truck things are looking up hell

00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:30.840
yeah yes you did it the cas swap can

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.840
continue

00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:38.400
So the plan is our engine has arrived we going to get that into that we can't do

00:17:36.280 --> 00:17:44.280
that without these things which Brian happens to make these are the mounts we

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:45.679
make on our CNC at work and this is the

00:17:44.280 --> 00:17:48.960
kit for this particular Engine with this particular transmission so this unlocks

00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:53.840
being able to put that engine into that car which never was supposed to be in here this bolts on like that we lift it

00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:57.159
in we drop it in we mount it up and that's one step closer to being

00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.840
done yeah you're in

00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:10.280
working this is exciting bit that engine

00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:15.000
is not supposed to be in there and it's going to make this car so much better so

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.000
much

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:22.200
faster this is an electronic throttle body in a car this age you've normally

00:18:20.159 --> 00:18:25.240
got a cable but we are going to upgrade to an electronic throttle body that

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:28.559
means you've got a pedal inside the car that sends a signal to the ECU to the

00:18:26.919 --> 00:18:32.080
htech in this case and then the htech sends the signal here and tells this how

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:35.400
far to open now why you want to do that you get a smooth idle you also get the

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:39.280
option of cruise control and it all happens in that yet unit which bolts

00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:43.440
onto our intake manifold speaking of cruise control if we're adding all of

00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:46.840
that new stuff we need some way to control it which is why we have this

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:50.520
nice little keypad here we made up a little aluminum piece that we're going

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:54.720
to just epoxy onto the stock thing and we also have the controller for our DSP

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:59.440
for the sound so all that goes in there it's going to be beautiful so L us we're

00:18:57.159 --> 00:19:03.880
about halfway through what do you think I am honestly blown away like hearing

00:19:01.679 --> 00:19:07.720
you talk about how the throttle is no longer cable controlled like now it's

00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:12.720
all electronic and we can like add cruise control to it and I saw you guys

00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:17.039
goofing around with the RGB controller over there and you're putting underglow

00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:21.559
on it which by the way is not legal here it's legal to park right you just can't

00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:25.320
drive with it sure this wasn't even in the country this morning this barely

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:30.320
fits dude well just we're going to have to cut the Bonnet a bit cuz it's going to hit here are you kidding me to cut

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:33.600
bits out of the Bonnet but this engine in like this fixes everything that was

00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.440
ever wrong with this car the gearbox is in the special mounts are in to hold W

00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:40.720
those M mounts look beautiful that is some gorgeous Machining work Brian made

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:44.159
him and brought them up and so have a look inside it's all starting to come

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:51.280
together in there although it's also looks a bit messy no way you guys

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:54.440
this oh am I allowed to no you're good you're good that's actually the first

00:19:52.760 --> 00:19:59.559
time it's been used it just got put in I don't know if I'm going to like you know break anything or whatever right but

00:19:57.120 --> 00:20:02.360
like wait oh yeah obviously you'll put in a clutch pedal I suppose well yeah we

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:05.880
kind of haven't done that yet but it's like we call this we call this forbidden

00:20:04.280 --> 00:20:11.000
spaghetti over there like that wiring but all that will be gone and it will

00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:12.679
look a bit neater dude this is so stupid

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:17.799
and it still functions you can remove it and you can use it as a screwdriver

00:20:14.679 --> 00:20:20.960
still fully

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:23.000
functional that's fun oh cool never be

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:28.880
bored in traffic ever again original rocker cover awesome Red Rocker cover

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:33.360
with red wrinkle paint

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:35.320
H so good hey look at that that is

00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:40.640
beautiful it looks mostly yeah it goes the other way doesn't it you know what

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:43.280
listen here you two yeah that mostly

00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:47.640
mint oh I can't wait for this to leak down right onto the audio that I'm

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:51.520
putting in right now yeah now that we have power for our speakers we need to

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:55.360
physically put them in for the fronts we just made up these little adapters we 3D

00:20:53.520 --> 00:20:58.960
printed it out and once we put the speaker in we're going to be adding in

00:20:57.280 --> 00:21:02.799
these fast Rings this is just some foam that goes around your speaker so that it

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.440
mates up properly to the door because if you have any gaps there the audio can

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.640
interfere with itself and it's a bad time for our tweeters we got a little

00:21:08.919 --> 00:21:15.159
bit fancy we took our a pillars out 3D scanned it you can see our targets right

00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:20.279
here and then made a little jig that is going to mount them just really nice and

00:21:17.840 --> 00:21:25.080
great something like that now I just need to spend the next now I just need

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.799
to spend the next several hours wiring everything up it's going to be not very

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:35.120
fun but as long as you're methodical and do things like marking down where all

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:35.120
the speakers go it's not all at

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:44.840
her oh my God bit of a Moment of Truth

00:21:42.159 --> 00:21:51.720
here does the wing smash the rear window let's find out mother oh dude actually

00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:52.600
oh no way is it going to clear you got

00:21:51.720 --> 00:22:01.039
lots of space dude no way oh my God it doesn't

00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:05.159
it doesn't hit of course once again huge shout out to the ridge for sponsoring

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:09.559
this as you can tell we have spent many a dollar on all of this and without them

00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:13.720
none of it would have happened this has been awesome so thank you guys let's get

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:17.520
these banners on we've got our Wheels here from super speed they're a Canadian

00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:21.919
company and these are flow formed which means they're both light and kind of

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:26.880
cheap we also got Michelin Pilot Sport all seon fours which is fantastic

00:22:24.760 --> 00:22:30.600
because for one great tires for this weather and two I just like having

00:22:29.159 --> 00:22:34.480
Michelin all of my friends back home were employed by them I actually could

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:37.640
not show my face back home if uh we put something else on it and they look so

00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:41.080
good we've also got a tire pressure monitoring system so these little remote

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:44.279
things they screw into the valve stem here and then that will communicate back

00:22:42.600 --> 00:22:47.679
to our engine computer and to our Dash so be able to see if our tire pressure

00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:51.000
goes up or down we can set alarms and also log it if you're racing you could

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:54.039
see your tire pressures as you go in the track so we just unscrew this we install

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:59.080
these on each tire and we put them on the car and the bronze it's going to

00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:03.679
look sick it's going to look so good all right we are 4 minutes until our

00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:07.640
wheel alignment we still haven't started it but we're going to get it in the air

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:10.520
push it out the door turn the key and cross our fingers that it

00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:23.039
works it's alive sounds good kind of first drive

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:25.080
let's go get a wheel alignment where we

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:30.000
go works it the alignment's not great the

00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:33.000
scrubbing you can hear is the wheels like fighting each other but we're going

00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:38.320
to go straight to the alignment shop get that sorted out and then hit the

00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:41.440
dyno the radiator is like stone cold at the top but there's a lot of heat in the

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:44.400
engine and that's why sensor is like telling us the engine's hot cuz it's not

00:23:43.159 --> 00:23:49.840
actually using the radiator properly there's like an air lock stopping it from cycling I'm sure you guys with

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:55.230
water cooled PCS know exactly what this is

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:58.880
about off upside down

00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:05.679
all right so we spoke to Brad and we spoke to Patrick the guys are fans of blus and mighty carod so they promised

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:17.939
to smash it out before lunchtime so we're on we're on a good thing and hopefully we'll make our Dino

00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.200
booking are you excited yes yeah hey my

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:34.039
hands are cold okay know we're here at stratified Automotive they're going to

00:24:30.919 --> 00:24:37.279
dyo it originally it made 89 horsepower

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:39.720
which means we need 178 to double head

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:43.799
170s I reckon comfortably in the 170s maybe even higher I won in the 190s it's

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.880
been it's been a busy couple of days but it's going to get there yeah

00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:07.679
it's so loud my God Honda VTEC mate woo

00:25:03.760 --> 00:25:07.679
you can feel it in your guts when it's

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:17.600
going you're close

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:26.799
man 177 ah so close 177 horsepower we need

00:25:25.399 --> 00:25:31.080
one more to double it one more horsepower to double it we got to make I

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:37.200
can do it oh yeah we need one more horsepower to

00:25:34.919 --> 00:25:44.809
double the power one just one we need 178

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:08.880
no you look no no we're good I think we're good I think we're

00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:16.679
good yes we did it yeah there we

00:26:13.320 --> 00:26:20.440
go excellent work success we made the

00:26:16.679 --> 00:26:22.480
power we did it 180 horsepower and is

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:28.960
confirmed that the lights will come on when they hit VTEC if you want it this

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:31.279
thing is hilarious oh my God so uh it's

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:36.480
a bit loud right I thought that's what you people like uh there's loud there's

00:26:34.520 --> 00:26:42.600
yeah there's loud and then there's lock all right interrupt the shoot every time

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:42.600
he arrives at work or jet taking off

00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:51.720
loud oh my God nice huh massive 4-in

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:57.640
exhaust okay okay okay okay Jee it also

00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:02.200
doesn't knock anymore no look if your whole thing was that when you rev your

00:26:59.120 --> 00:27:06.360
car you want to draw a crowd

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:08.240
um is this carbon fiber act it's nice

00:27:06.360 --> 00:27:12.600
this is real carbon fiber this is real carbon fiber this is probably worth more

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:17.960
than the car oh for sure about twice this is a one of one custom made just

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:19.640
for this you can log into your ECU

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:23.520
that's controlling the whole car via Wi-Fi on an app or your laptop tune it

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.120
from outside the car if you want to increase horsepower decrease horsepower

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:31.120
do a whole bunch of things there's a couple other little surprises in there that that all runs

00:27:28.840 --> 00:27:34.640
but it's like the all that that runs the car is absolutely worth multiple times

00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:39.679
the value of the car did we figure out the multiplier total yeah no we probably

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:43.880
should I have to think about it it's a lot though yeah it's a lot no idea no

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:48.159
clue you're not really supposed to think about that stuff when you do cars now I

00:27:46.120 --> 00:27:51.279
don't know anything about car engines and what they're supposed to look like

00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:55.559
but what I do know is what it used to look like the mounting kit works great

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:58.559
it sits in a really good spot aside from that you don't have to change that much

00:27:57.080 --> 00:28:04.679
other stuff nothing else really been cut up and like that motor is huge for this

00:28:00.840 --> 00:28:07.320
car 2.4 L used to be 1.7 big intake like

00:28:04.679 --> 00:28:10.279
powerwise we've we're over double yeah the inside looks a little different

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:14.679
since we last saw it yeah this is amazing I don't even know what all these

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:18.840
buttons do okay cabin lights I fig oh no no no that's that's the party lights we

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:22.799
go oh my God inside and outside and they respond so Honda's engines have this

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:25.960
thing called VTEC right basically it happens because unicorns fart rainbows

00:28:24.760 --> 00:28:30.480
and they fart that's what happens when VCH comes on so the car now rainbows

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:33.159
when it's on VTE uh We've also got cruise control which it never had which

00:28:31.919 --> 00:28:36.679
is cool bring it to the future we have traction control it's page up do I mean

00:28:35.080 --> 00:28:40.399
I know what it does on a computer in cars it's page up for power with a htech

00:28:38.679 --> 00:28:44.360
page up for power so you can you can make it faster if you want to I can't

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:48.399
think of any modern car feature that like I'm missing here

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:52.760
anymore like there's luxury feature shirt heated seats or whatever right I

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.360
can't think of anything that's missing yeah well we've we have brought into the

00:28:54.200 --> 00:29:01.440
future I mean you got power steering cruise control you got all the kind of those good things he peeking he's

00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:05.240
peeking I'm not I've been waiting like 15 minutes I would have peaked already

00:29:03.679 --> 00:29:09.399
Sammy told me to tell you to just keep rolling for float plan there's C and D

00:29:07.399 --> 00:29:13.279
plans too it's fine this is still plan a c and d means cease and desist here I

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.279
remember when this was first suggested it was like the summer okay I'm just

00:29:15.320 --> 00:29:25.360
walking forward I don't think you need to do that what

00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:30.760
this oh my God Ridge sponsor that's what

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:35.279
this happened I think there's more new stuff on it than original stuff that

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:40.760
makes a lot of sense this is what matters though yeah I kind of think yeah this is the bit that matters I've heard

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:48.039
bits and Pie throughout the so went from 1.7 L single overhead

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:49.799
cam to a 2.4 L what we start with 89

00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:53.720
horsepower something9 yeah so now it's going exactly double

00:29:51.360 --> 00:29:58.640
that come on around this is super cool this is great oh my God there's a

00:29:55.240 --> 00:30:01.640
spoiler you guys spoil

00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:03.519
I bought this uh for like 1,500 bucks

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:07.240
like three years ago and I told myself I'll drive it till it dies or three

00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:10.960
years whatever comes first and then I just didn't get rid of it yet cuz it's

00:30:08.919 --> 00:30:16.039
amazing holy what oh my God it looks so clean there's

00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:20.600
a little access panel if you want to look down in there Alex holy Alex has

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:24.600
spent over a week on this with some of the other guys like getting this to work

00:30:22.159 --> 00:30:28.799
I believe oh man you can control everything you plug in a laptop you can

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:34.279
f tune it I'll be I'll be a guy with a laptop and oh you'll need two laptops

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:38.159
one for the engine one for these on the out side we got 17in wheels there's new

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:41.640
Wheels in we've got Michelin Pilot All Season ties brand new my God we got a

00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:46.480
big brake K you used to have drum brakes on the back now you got discs all around

00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:50.720
plus a huge break upgrade on the front big ones this big um so all new Co

00:30:49.320 --> 00:30:57.720
you've got coilovers suspension as well fully adjustable it needs a bit of tweaking what have you guys done like no

00:30:54.679 --> 00:30:59.000
we did everything seats I think there

00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:03.480
was just word they keep throwing called scope they're like oh what about the scope I'm I don't actually know what

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:06.720
scope means so I'm just like yeah we're just going to do everything I hope you

00:31:04.639 --> 00:31:09.840
enjoy it this is thanks for having us oh my God thank you for this is very fun

00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:14.320
for us I hope you're still driving it any year time and you can report back

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:16.320
yeah it's even better and Alex did say

00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:19.600
he's happy to turbocharge it for you if you find it's not making enough power oh

00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:27.519
yeah if it's not enough you want to go for triple or quadruple oh my God you

00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:27.519
guys I can't believe this so loud

00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:39.240
she's fine it's a week later and we have been

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:43.519
hard at work just tidying everything up it has a proper alignment now it could

00:31:40.919 --> 00:31:48.480
be a little bit higher but it does look sick as is the exhaust has a catalytic

00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:52.440
converter and a resonator so Captain Planet is happy and pl's no pl's

00:31:50.679 --> 00:31:57.639
neighbors are still not very happy but it's better at least the sound system

00:31:54.639 --> 00:32:01.440
also rocks we went from a frequency roll

00:31:57.639 --> 00:32:04.960
off about 70 HZ which is like high base

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:07.399
to 45 htz which is a massive Improvement

00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:10.960
it sounds really good in there there's one final thing that we have to do plof

00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:14.679
has not yet hit VTEC all right plof we fixed a lot of

00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:18.480
stuff all right it turns out that we only had 35% throttle

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:29.519
before yeah I can feel it

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.519
holy it's quick now

00:32:30.320 --> 00:32:35.320
wow oh my god do I ever get it now

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:40.039
there's just one thing left and that's for you guys to go and check out the

00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:44.080
ridge like we said before there is no way we could have afforded to make this

00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:47.559
video without their help they are absolute Legends and they are the reason

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.399
that all of this happened we have a bunch of new friends you should also go

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:55.559
and check out their channels Mighty Car Mods VTech Academy and stratified all

00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.360
are going to have videos on this the amount of work that went to it is in

00:32:58.080 --> 00:33:04.799
insane go check them out and check out the ridge down below I can't wait to

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:12.200
watch this video and see pl's reaction in the meantime I think I need to go do W show but uh was an absolute pleasure

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:18.200
actually all of you guys uh thank you very much you guys absolutely incredible

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.240
to meet you all and this is mindblowing

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:25.240
considering what you guys did in such a short amount of time this is like a

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:28.159
whole new car which was our goal when we set out to modernize this thing this is

00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:32.039
about as modernized as you're going to get an old Civic absolutely incredible

00:33:30.760 --> 00:33:34.360
pretty cool thanks for having us it was fun
