I also never get tired of Moog playing the intercooler like a harp.... I don't know why, but it kills me every time!!!
+Patrick Morrissey it is because it is awesome :)
Never gets old!
really good editing actually yes :)
I remember watching this 6-7 years ago and being sad I couldn’t do cool turbo upgrades and FMICs because all I had was a 03 NA Mazda 323F at the time. Now I’m on the other side. Got a sweet 2016 turbo sports car, FMIC, HKS BOV and just did a big turbo upgrade. You guys inspired me to always keep my dream alive and it’s not just a dream anymore. It’s real, it happened and it’s great!!!
missing serial code on the turbo
totally means it wasnt taken off a stolen car
brandon hakki do stock turbos normally have vins?
Stock ones
Yes
brandon hakki so? 400 bucks m8
brandon hakki shhh
brandon hakki I've got a Hyundai Getz, 1.5 Crdi turbo diesel. It puts out 110bhp stock, I've got it aggressively remapped and got a free flow exhaust as well. It puts out around 160bhp now. Maybe a little more, It was 154bhp after the remap, I haven't checked after removing the cat cons and installing the free flow exhaust. I'm thinking of fixing a slightly bigger turbo, something that will help bump up my figures to 200bhp. I have 205 section tyre's already and am planning to upgrade my suspension soon. I don't have an endless supply of cash and hence would like to know, what Turbo charger would fit as a bolt on with no changes to the manifold etc. Do I have to install new injectors and a blow off valve? Can someone give me an estimate for the turbo supporting mods please?
I love going back to these older videos even back to the red micra videos, to watch how far you guys have come. The videos have always been amazing, but man the video quality sure has come a long way.
"You ever had something fall out of your engine bay while driving?" "Uh, just an engine"
Hey Mighty Car Mods, just in case you didn't already know, that rag actually says, "Road Safety" on it. XD!
Thanks man I was scrolling through the comments to find out what it said it was gonna drive me crazy.
draws neat area for waste gate piping... completely ignores it and cuts off whole side xD
+Jacob Mortensen
Yes that was quite funny.
draws template to clear Wastegate Actuator Rod - then realised the Rod bends and needs more clearance to function ;)
3:25-3:40 had me in tears, do we now know the origins of cheryl?
lol at the tiny bump line you drew for modifying the heat shield and then just ended up cutting a big square out
I think that was just so they got a rough idea of what needed to be cleared, then made the hole around it bigger just in case. Or they just said "Fuckit" and made it bigger.
I need a t-shirt with the text "You need big balls! Big ball bearings!" And a picture on a turbo :D
I never get tired off watching Marty try not to laugh, while Moog is going off on something..... Hahahaha!
What if sneezing..was just a human blow off valve?
You don't sneeze after a quick sprint.
But you huff and puff :) lol
***** But not sneeze
farting is the human blow off valve
tavi921 that's only if your rings are worn lol
Thanks man and couldn't agree more. The MCM crowd are the best!
just earlier today i came across this channel and i have to say, i get a kick out of the fmic harp EVERY SINGLE TIME! brilliant show fellas, keep it up
"Overdrive" by MOOG Habitat Remix. It's on the album "The Sea Brings Rivalry" on itunes or the MCM shop.
I was waiting for them to talk about a tune.. great job guys. Love that Forester
Lmao I was dying when he played the intercooler like a harp!!!!!
Under that car is sooooooo clean
on he's place dont have rain
or he cleaned that car completly
Muhammad Rifal Junior Is that English?
Daniel Ford Give the guy a break, he's obviously foreign.
Aspire i didnt know youtube was a specific country c:
John Fisher English* where* things*
Love the music in this episode, Moog creates amazing tunes!
After i got a Turbo car, i have been watching all episodes om MCM ;-)
hey guys, you should try out PB Blaster in future videos. It's supposed to be better than WD40 and I use it all the time. I never had luck with WD40, bolts would continue to strip off. So, my dad introduced me to PB Blaster and I haven't stripped a bolt since. It's a really good product. I'm not trying to advertise, but I'm pretty sure it could help you guys out with all the rusty cars you guys work on.
It's gonna be maAAAAAaaAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA
I love how Marty managed to stay with a straight face after ^THAT.
Read this as it played out, haha
This is the best intro you guys have had :) love the spanner action :p
I started to watch your videos a few days ago when trying to figure out what turbo i should fit in my car(If one at all)
And i have to say, your videos are really great.
I wish you guys had a real Tv show, with super sponsors, so you could do all kinds of crazy stuff.
"Just an engine" xD
they call it "dump pipe" ...everyone else call it downpipe..
I call it dump
Dump pipe is what most call an external wastesgates exhaust if not recirculated.
30spooln
nah thats screamer pipe
30spooln what Matt Sawers said. an external wastgates's ehxhaust f not recirculated is actually a screamer pipe
Sitha Puth Proper JDM vocabulary!
"putting old bolts inside hoses to stop the leaking". oh my god thats so brilliant! ive always just crimped the hose in half a clamped it but that looks heaps easier. this is another reason why i love MCM
Wow that was the most informative turbo vid on CZcams. Thanx guys!
has anyone ever seen a pic of the famous Cheryl?
Moog/Tuning Fork ride her in the Gramps videos when they head up to Turbo Yoda's place
Funny how the TD04 is considered a tiny turbo for nothing more than some punch down low on Subarus.
On a Fiat/Abarth engine the TD04 actually a huge upgrade even from the 180hp setup, allowing for 250+hp.
Candisa well relative to the size of the engine and car, yeh it's all relative.
i highly doubt you will get that power to the wheels on those tiny engines.
@@connorcox259 1.6 or 1.8 Will be able to Lower engine sizes not sure , atleast the 1.8 20vt Will but that's VAG :')
you guys have come a long ways with your vids! full proof
I love the vt250 in the backround as well as the car, haha! Good stuff, funny guys, not bad at all, keep it coming please.
You guys should do a DIY on a Rotary.
chop shop turbo upgrade, pesky serial number scraped off
You guys are the best diy car modders!
I haven't seen a VT250 in years. I still have my 88VTR Honda Interceptor 250. Nice ride and video.
missing serial numbers/code on the turbo. is it stolen?
Probably just sanded off, because mods.
All their stuff is stolen.
Have you never wondered why they never film in the same location twice in a month?
Modded hybrid turbo's or repaired turbo's with internals get sold without or with the company which reconstructed them
No they just filed the numbers off for weight saving. Every gram counts.
can you guys do a turbo diesel
The edit on the install is amazing.. Taking it out is one thing.. now putting everything back well that's the fun part. 7hrs later ...
2020 and still love the vids whether old or new ...
U guys need to do a video of eBay intakes vs name brand $200-$300 intakes and see if there is any difference in power!!!! Like this comment if want to see them to do one!!!!!
Its already been done...
The only problem with cheap ebay intakes is, under pressure, poor weld snots can break off and enter your engine. (Not Fast n Furious style JR.)
hcracer1985 cold air intakes , usually help with forced induction means like a supercharger , you don't really use them just in their own because you might make like 2hp but they are meant mainly to keep humidity out of your engine because that means less power and are bigger than stock intakes so you can have more air going in
Shout out to anyone watching this in 2019
that turbo is stolen for sure
Love to see more video done on the Forester! Some cosmetic stuff and more modds such as fuel pump, leads , plugs, intercooler and injectors. Would love to see what a few more mods would do. Your 180kw now, be sweet if that could help hit the 190-200
I remember watching this 7 years ago when it came out for funsies.
Now I'm rewatching in prep for a turbo replacement on my 2004 STi
you forgot to say oil prime the turbo!!
Didn't disconnect the battery. That's dangerous
this is my new favorite channel
LOL you make me laugh brother. Nice sense of humor. I just love it. Thanks for the clip men.
They're like the Germans but from a different part of the world.
So, if I upgrade the turbo, do I have to upgrade the intercooler, i.e., should I be worried about pushing the engine's limits?
It is highly recommended that you do supporting mods when increasing boost but not necessary. It really depends but yes you are pushing your engine more by upgrading turbo
angel olivares how would you do that!? I have a dodge neon srt4 with bov, bigger intercooler, slightly bigger injectors, waste gate actuator, throttle body 62mm, downpipe and diablo sport trinity tune. Stock turbo. If I want to get bigger turbo should I change something else!?
Daniel Rodriguez Thats actually a pretty good setup to handle a bigger turbo and is what I meant by supporting mods. I guess I assumed you were going to upgrade turbo with everything else stock seeing as how factory turbo engines have intercoolers like you mentioned in your original comment. You're should watch the mcm vid of turbo supporting mods, more detail there
Daniel Rodriguez
I'm not an expert, as I right this my car is at a tuner (I don't have the tools to remove the engine). However, my dad has taught me about cars since I was a kid, worry about Air Fuel ratio. If your running on the "lean" side it means you should have more fuel for the amount of air there is. Running rich isn't nearly as dangerous. Running lean leads to detonation, which leads to one final detonation. Always make sure you have enough fuel for your setup.
Do the turbo supporting mods first!! Your current turbo will benefit from these and you will get bhp gains.
It's a good thing i already know about cars because some things they say on there channel can be misleading, but they are great.
8:24 Years! It has been -YEARS-! I now finally get it!! Thank you!!
JDM undies
This guy bought a stolen turbo from ebay! LOL!
You do know that turbos don't have identifying numbers on them. Yes, they have a code that tells you the model, but there is no way to link it to a particular car or owner. They most likely ground the numbers off because they had reconfigured the housing, thus customizing it and making the identification number meaningless.
You guys just made the best Subaru Forester XT commerial aroudn :)
Watching this again cos I just got a new 2018 STI, yay subey squad! Also missed the driveway videos! 😍
Spraying WD-40 on the head of a bolt is going to do squat.
+Dennis Leslie Definitely does do something, gets into the threads and loosens things up. Currently doing that with a project car and without it i wouldnt have the progress im at currently.
What a clusterfuck of an engine bay....I'm glad my Toyota has tons of free space.
DjRjSolarStar What Yota?
JL Cannone ae86 lol
DjRjSolarStar ever worked on an aw11 mr2? Forrester has shit loads in comparison!
I find myself forgetting how well they know their stuff when it seems most of the time they're joking around and just having fun with whatever project they're on
Awesome video man !
whats turbo?
It just makes ur car faster with compressed air
it was a joke, but thanks anyways lol
Hahaha alright then
333 people have no turbo
Just stumbled across this channel lmao love it
I love these guys, they are so funny, wierd but also smart:)!
My turbo pushes more boost than yall can hold in your tires and its made by the greatest turbo company. Garrett. With a custom wicked wheel to a 5in straight pipe. You guessed it. I own a 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel
massive boost, massive torque, sloooowwwww speed
11:00 nice mark, but that cut......11:13 fkin ugly
Or just being a person in general.
McM have really helped me out a few times when I've gotten stuck on my build.
Thanks Marty for getting Moog a Forrester I'm saving up for one and possibly do a turbo upgrade and exhaust and later a full still swap
I have a veyron its got 4 turbos
your probably don't even have any car because you are not old enough.
sry for bad englisch I am German.
welcome to the MCM club. HONORARY MEMBER FOR LIFE =)
You guys crack me up! Love your vids!
Now i have to ask why one of you(forget your name, the absolutely crazy one with the cap) has 2 wedding rings on? One on each hand? Or at least that's what it looks like. Sorry for the lame question but -the curiosity is killin me mon!
You guys are the greatest. Hitting on all the nitche small question video ehow junk i could imagine. I can't wait to leave the military and just work on my cars.
does moog still have the forester?
you guys make the best videos.
you have inspired me to become a car mechanic!!!!!!!
That subaru looked good jacked up
Turbo kits are an amazing way to enhance the performance of a car. When installed the right way, a turbo kit dramatically reduces the emissions levels of a car apart from adding to the performance. These kits are highly useful for people living in hilly areas.
You guys are awsome!!! Love your show!!
Same sauce same content ...killer combo
LOL .. I love how Moog marks the heatshield precisely to the size of that water pipe, twenty seconds later Marty brings it back with a big old :D
It was for the waste gate actuator rod
oops . either way.. cut nowhere along the line :P
2:19 DAAAAAAAAAYUM NIGGUH THAT WAS 100% FLAWLESS
Really glad you guys made this vid now that my 06 Legacy GT just grenaded a turbo 150 miles from home -_-
Installing a turbo is nothing like how easy you guys make it look. I just put in a vf52 in my sh fxt, and the oil dump took me 2h to connect.
how could anyone dislike mcm??? this is really making me go MAAAAAD !!!
These guys not only both work, but they also used to take viewer donations on their website and sell the cars on when they're done to fans of the show. Not only that but they are affiliated with CZcams, hence the adverts, at CZcams's rate of paying they've earned over 30,000AUD from CZcams views. And they've been doing this for 4-5 years. Plus they don't seem to smoke or drink which helps save dosh. THUMB IT UP
moog literally explined how to put a turbo rag in the hole, Love it
I love how the divorced pipe partially bypasses the catalytic converter haha awesome
Mighty Car Mods. I'd love to see more on your Forester xt !. Or even info on your mods done. Id love to see how much the Turbo, exhaust, performance cleaner and Esy Flash tuner + dyno cost. Broken down each bit, so people like myself can see the cost for similar mods please :) love to see more cosmetics done and even a track tim run vs a stock wrx ect
teamwork makes the dream-work!!
"Anything fell out your engine bay before?"
"Just my engine"
did u guys prime the turbo with oil? or was there already oil inside the turbo?
How much power do those turbos even produce? We usually build billet 16gs and 20gs for these cars. The tdo6sl2 7 blade 20g seems to be the best for spool time and hp capability.
nice intercooler solo Moog
ha there guys are always funny! great vid, MCM come to melb's and shoot some episodes!! :D
doing my first Subaru lmao I have a whole new respect for them now. I have a 2002 forester with a EJ20X motor with VF45 turbo. struggling with the harness now but with a e85 tune on 1000cc injectors the Quad AVCS and twin scroll its gonna be choo chooing like a champ soon. I WANNA A PIECE OF GRAMPS LOL
if you live in Australia that would make a cool youtube video
Dont forget to prime the turbo with oil before operating under load. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned, unless I just missed it.
Hey guys I have a big issue with big turbo modifiers. You correctly state that other mods are need to take advantage. I'd like to see a myth buster on big turbos, just changing the turbo (not pressure setting) and measure the power difference and any other effects. Engine power is generally made from boost pressure and not turbo size, the engine cares not what size the turbo is only the pressure (and temperature) in the manifold. As power evolves up smaller turbos become less efficienct and general more heat, but heat is generated by compressing air anyway (irrespective of turbo size). A good example is the Volvo red block with its TD04 13C, its perfectly capable of pretty much any level of boost for a standard engine at the top end. An estimate of benefit to go bigger is around 220BHP, but you might need more fueling to get to that, so I'm thinking that there is no benefit in only upgrading the turbo. Some modifiers talk about more flow, but I believe this is a myth. What is hard to quantify is the amount of heat produced due to inefficiency, that might affect the power.
u guys switched shirts between the intro and ending.... i feel accomplished
It's more than 30k, SocialBlade stats confirm that. Nevertheless, they stated in the Q&A episode that they keep circulating the cars. It's a good watch, definitely recommended :)
"have you ever had stuff fall out of your engine bay before?" "naaa just an engine." LOL
i like how the cut on the heat shield started as a little round cut, and grew to a huge square cut.
You dodge my questions and change the subject every time things get tough, typical of an engineer.
