- In this week's episode, we put the car back together enough to see if it can be driven on its own. We also address the trunk/top problem in the most efficient way possible - a hole saw.

Couple other things that I have found out in my own discovery on my Sky. The vent tube on the intake will break again. Its extremely fragile and the plastic used for the intake tube is pretty incompatible with most adhesives. I replaced mine with the DDM intake. The air actually flows into the crack case from that tube and a different line actually feeds the dirty crankcase vapors into the intake side after the turbo and intercooler to keep oil out of the compressor and out of the sensitive MAP sensors that would otherwise get contaminated with oil on the intake tubes. The ticking sound you hear is actually the high pressure fuel pump that is driven off of a cam lobe and when the car is cold and warming up the pump will constantly build pressure since it operates at very high pressures for direct injection. The HPFP is on the driver side of the engine near the firewall on top. It's a under a silver cylinder with metal lines coming out of it. Once the engine is warm and enough pressure is built in the fuel rail the system will only tick every couple seconds to maintain pressure in the rail at idle. Rev the engine and you will hear it pick right back up with the RPM's.
Congrats! Happy to see it’s running
Thanks!
Keyless entry is the small little box on the rear bulkhead that is up high. The two modules that are stacked on the tunnel are the safety module and the VCIM which talks to the ECM and BCM. You cannot eliminate the VCIM without jumping some of the data wires. I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Congrats! That ticking is most likely the fuel pump, not valves. Perfectly normal for this car. You can actually get an insulator for it that reduces the noise a bit, but I doubt you'd be interested in that given your plans.
Thanks Greg! Good info. I know it is direct injected, after I made the video I figured it might just be the injectors too. That's why all these modern cars have 14 layers of sound deadening on them, right?
Bench cleaning thing is a good tip, I installed a second bench…because I’m a slob.
I was so sure there would be some fun extra material in the last minutes of black frames. :D
My plan was to release a teaser for the next Marvel movie, but I couldn't get the licensing
Thank God for the mute button and closed captioning! That music is f-ing annoying!
Normally I try and switch it up a bit, but on this one I somehow used the same beat for ever time lapse...and it was 30 minutes long. That is a lot of the same beat. Oops.
@@ihavemadeahugemistake the music was totally unnecessary...and it wouldn't have mattered if you used only one music files or 50!
