Appreciate the consistent weekly uploads to replace the morning peasant chat. I’m interested in seeing that starter in the fairmont!
Used my pressure washer to take the plastic dip off a set of wheels. Thank God because peeling it was a pain. Took 10 minutes.
Realest guy out here, keep it up
Great to see that all of the projects are moving forward. Can't wait to see the end results.
No one understands when doing a project like this how much stupid shit adds up/realizing you should upgrade something. Whatever you think you'll spend on the project, double it.
Looks great bro. I personally prefer a single turbo setup just simply because it fits so many more classes. But like everything else, it just depends on what you want to do with the car.
Riv-nuts work wonders. You should try it on the panels Alex. If you ever have to take the panels off it will be a lot easier.
Thanks for the tip on the grade 8 hardware kit! Solid advice.
Working your ass off man.
Tio get some 3m adhesive remover on a micro fiber and it will literally wipe away that old plasti dip like nothing
Dig the content Tio, really badass stuff and can’t wait to see the results 🔥
Hell yeah! Making some great progress
Great progress! ✌️
Alex, great work.
Good job. Pretty cool watching a regular guy do his own work but also know when you hand it over. Clean install.
So excited you’re finally getting the Fairmont going. By far my favorite project you have bro. Keep up the great content Alex.
Sweet new banner on the wall!
If you don't have any class restrictions, I'd do twins. Would be the least amount of rearward progress. Be easier to get exhaust out the back also with 2 smaller pipes
I like twins but that just me.
Be nice!
Its good to see projects come together. My 2005 Coyote swap runs and drives, need to iron out some issues still, I'm planning on hiring Joe Goodnough as my tuner since I have about 2 SCT tuners laying around and have 2 different coyote Mustangs to tune with them. He tuned my 2016 GT when he was with VMP and you praise him as a good tuner so its a no brainer.
Also, definitely want to get some quickjacks when I get a house. Would make everything soooo much easier.
Joe is excellent. You're in good hands
Very nice progress. I think you can justify saying "built and bought " on this one. Hush money is gonna break a lot of hearts!
Looks great! (I like front tires flush like that🔥)
fairmont is lookin good
Love the Sunday morning updates! A lot of cool stuff going on!
A little tip on removing plasti-dip. Soaked in WD-40 for 15-20 minutes and hit it with a pressure washer.
Replace the rivets with Rivet Nuts, that way you can remove the panels for any in door service.
God speaking the truth about nickel and diming, turbo fox engine build and turbo was about the same as all the small stuff needed.
You could probably do your driveshaft measurement now and start the process on that since everything is mounted
This is going to be an awesome build series Alex! Thank you and have a great day sir!
you definitely have to get the fairmont painted with all the work you have been putting into it.
So blow it all apart and add 20k to a "Budget build" no ty
Thanks!
I use an air powered rivet gun, much easier. Thanks for another great video!
Also, WD40 will help remove plastidip
Hell yes!! Go with twin 64s or something in that area or a big single like a 80 to 88 area maybe a 50 shot on top to help spool it . Ever thought about doing a stroker coyote ? I'm sure they gotta have 347 or 363 kits now . Order a budget carb like a holly 850 or something the peasants can afford lol😂😂😂😂
Fairlane looking minty, Tio 🤌
💪💪💪
Looks great bro.
If you are running a blow thru, talk to your carb builder, you may not need an intercooler, the fuel flowing through the intake will cool the IAT. That would open up quite a bit of room, and less to fabricate.
It's getting an intercooler always
Might be able to power wash off most of the plastidip now that you have it started. Just an idea not sure 100%
Would turbos fit back below/behind the mid plate?
Singles are generally less hard to install, less parts to fail. Less complex, less weight, more efficient spool.
Twins ultimately are better on max effort high horsepower builds where keeping the backpressure down matters.
I dont think you need to swap from a single. Just size your exhaust wheel for the flow and fuel type.
Yea do 1 turbo kit, less heat 🥵 🔥
Hey, Alex your radiator being lower that the engine is a problem. It’s should be the other way around. Engine low / Radiator high, too get the air out. JUST SOMETHING I SEE. If you know, and have a fix for this, then carrier on. Awesome build 🤟🏻🤟🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Most race radiators are under car angled to catch air.
You can bleed it from a hose at highest point.
This is a non issue, as Alex pointed out. Even factory cars have low radiators, like corvettes. The key is having the fill point being higher. Often a filler neck at the engine is sufficient but you can also use a bubble tank like many modern factory cars.
Just lift hinge on back of hood 1/2 even less will keep it cooler. My GT500 has vents but old school was just to lift back of the hood that will dump the heat off the engine. One vehicle I built I placed louvers on the hood but a lot of work just leave hood adjusted so it can vent by windshield. If anyone ask how I just haven’t adjusted that yet. Play little dumb works for grudge runs.
Fun when they think it’s junk and wins like nobody’s business. Caution old dinosaurs know the hood trick.
You will have issues if a single turbo manifold isn’t made correctly bc each bank will have different exhaust back pressure. Cletus had problems with a single. It gets worse as power goes up. Hopefully you use some Head Games ported heads too.
There are quite easy ways around this. Otherwise quick cars would never be single. I welded the kits for some local guys running 7s back in 07. They were all Single. Cleetus is not the best example of “why this doesn’t work”.
@@slowestturbovortec it’s “easy” at low power levels. He’ll just need a rebuild or blow it up a lot faster if it’s not right.
How many 1000+ hp turbo systems have you built? How many any hp turbo systems have you built? Alex is not building a 3000hp setup for one. You have multiple warning signs there are issues well before the point of blowing things up. I’m sure Alex will have “sad sensors” on the car. Even without back pressure sensors, you will see power gain per psi drop as boost increases when you run into back pressure problems. You really have to just keep pushing through warning signs to get to the point of blowing a car up on back pressure alone. On top of all of this, Alex is using a fabricator with more experience than likely this entire comment section, so I'm sure he will be fine.
Twins fo sho.
My experience with rivet guns is the cheaper ones last a few days. I bought a matco tools electric gun for 900 dollars, but man does it work great. Probably not worth it for someone that barely needs it.
Hi Alex, where did you get the tensioners, phasers and chains from. Are they factory parts or aftermarket? Love the project. 👍
Factory parts
Are the boss chains or just GT parts. Also heading that way eventually
@@5.0daddy boss chains aren't that different
If you had to would you be able to swap the headers to mount like fat house mounts their turbo kits?
Then where would I mount the turbos LOL.
@@YDBT4LIFE I just thought maybe there would be a chance they the able to mount like the s550 kits and you be able to run exhaust out back like you were wanting. Couldn’t exactly tell for sure what kind of space you were dealing with.
Exhaust out the back would be sick. Especially when people think you have to do a fender exit on a 600hp street car. You definitely have options. Cutting out the motor mount locations from the k member may be an option. Back In the day we would route downpipes behind the struts on tubular k member cars. I’m sure this thing will be sick no matter what. I love seeing the incremental progress by someone in their garage. It is motivating that things can be done by breaking it down into chunks and busting ass. Keep it up!
Great update video, I was wondering why you did an 8.50 cage instead of a 7.50 cage if the car is going to run 7’s. Do yourself a favor and just do fender exit exhaust, the heat from underbody exhaust will melt anything without heat shields or protective covering.
Depends. Do you want to pay twice as much for everything? Lol
Think my Mother owned one of these in the Early 80’s. Could give 2 shits about this build but I like knowledge.
If you do twin turbos, would running the exhaust through the knmember and control arm lole ON3 does for 79-04 mustangs be something youd consider?
Who are you getting a carburetor from? May i make a suggestion? AED, i hear they do great work...... 🤣
Billy bad ass
Currently edging 😋
Dear Alex , I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There prob'ly was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man?
First comment lol
I use the hydraulic guns
