the welding through a fuel line and brake line is great. "if i can do this without dying anyone can build a car"
I believe this is what they call survivor bias. 😬
All others who have done this before cannot be reached for comment
as long as there's no oxygen inside it's fine
Unlike all the other commenters, I am not an engineer and have no valuable comment to make. All Hail
"It's good enough for now, but fortunately not that good, so I will want to change it at some point."
Words to live by, right there.
Clearly another problem for Future Matt
Temporary solutions are the most permanent.
@@RustOnWheels Only when they work...at least mostly.
@@michaelkrenzer3296M. K., you got that right!!
That "I'm a smart man" Forrest edit got me more than one might expect.
I had to replay it lol
"on brand" is why I'm here, and my reason for coming back for more
Just an idea, I replaced my Oil pressure switch with the Dual Bosch sensor, Gives oil pressure and Temp, that way at least you can keep an eye on things for the oil cooler.
Good idea
All these engineering insights are why we all keep coming back to your channel. All hail the engineering! Outstanding!
For the VR crank sensor, since you wired it in parallel, you'll want to downsize the resistor to make it attenuate the signal more. You can also wire it in series, in which case you'll want to increase its resistance.
good to know, thanks!
@@SuperfastMatt Heeyyyy, you never reply to my comments.
@@singlespeedman Or most comments in general - to be fair he's a busy man, a smart man, and knows most of what we write anyway, so all good :-D
@@fredio54 I was joking.
@Abel Harbour I was joking.
I love this build. I can’t click fast enough onto these videos
You've got 3 project cars in your garage! Most guys with midlife crises only have one half-finished car. But that means 3x the superfastmatt to watch so its cool
true
Its not a midlife crisis is it? I havent stopped building things since i was a kid and im not much younger than he is, im sure its the same.
I have midlife crisis since my 20'es 🤣
So matt doesn't have a job right now right? He has 3 project cars that are actually progressing, there's no way. Man tesla must have paid him well
@@32BitJunkie yeah makes me wish i had followed my passion instead of settling for enough money now... Now im the only one of my friends who doesnt have a bank balance goes up above what i got paid that week. Silly me. Circumstances suck. Haha
You might want to add a "Certificate of Authenticity" with those parts like all the best late-night products do.
Come on now, it's 2022! It needs an NFT of the part. That way your broken piston can also be enjoyed in the meta....oh who am I kidding 😆
"I will also add a museum card explaining 'accurately' what the part does."
It does nothing. That engine grenaded itself.
bro, what?
@@Rob-pf6yl Dumb grammar joke. I wouldn't think on it too hard.
My grandpa used the same "engine hoist" in his garage for decades. If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid.
AHTA.
Honestly, with the rafters being braces from below, I'd possibly trust that more than the harbor freight engine hoist. I'm normally a fan of (some of) their stuff, but the engine hoist that I looked at in store didn't inspire a lot of confidence.
@@zrobotics That's a fair assessment. Grandpa had an American chainfall probably from the early '60s. But that motorcycle engine is only a couple hundred pounds, max. a HF chainfall could do that easily.
The Petersen is a great museum worth a very long visit, I can recommend buying an ice cream and wandering around the cool parking decks for a while. Finally a department store put to good use.
My apologies if you already know this, but be sure to run a high quality motorcycle oil in the crankcase, not regular car oil. Your clutch engagement will be 100% better with motorcycle oil vs. car oil.
All hail the algorithm!
I like how you include the smallish did-I-just-do-that parts in the videos makes me relate a bit better.
So many quotes for new shirts in this one. "I did it anyway because I like to have FUN. "Seems Sketchy but it works" front "that is pretty much how I live my life" back I so may more.
Didn't you have a pretty busy schedule with the land speed car?
Weeell might as well mess around with the motorcycle car and make a steering wheel for Robin.
"I just" ... repeat for Robins steering wheel, the Honda ... I can't help feeling the too do list for the land speed car is even longer. When is the first event ? A big push next weekend should have it covered, or ? . Love this channel. All hail
first event is in a week and a half. I'll probably take the car for tech inspection, but it still has lots of work left.
As I'm watching this channel I'm more, and more convinced that I need stupid space frame car with front mounted bike engine in it.
It must be something about Honda 600s. I torched through the fuel line in the engine compartment while modifying the inner fender so I could access the starter motor bolts. Fun times.
I first saw this car on a Jay Leno show and I was impressed and to be honest I still am, I love that little car. You are the spitting image of a friend that I have who lives in Florida, his name is Dave Hofmeister and you could be his brother. Voice, face and mannerisms. Just uncanny.......
Thanks Bob from Virginia USA
Never stop doing what you're doing Matt! Your videos are the highlight of my week and always makes me smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside, just like what I imagine a a grilled marshmallow feels like.
3:23 you need an Uncle Tony T-shirt -- "This is sketchy even by my standards..."
brake and gas lines - wow that's sketch
This car got me hooked on Matt. This car keeps me coming back to Matt.
First time I ever saw Matt was back when I used to watch Jay Leno's garage religiously, twas 6 years ago, was probably the only "half-assed hoopty" on his channel but he LOVED it.
P.S. I'm not calling his car a half-assed hoopty but compared to the perfectly polished builds Jay usually featured, Matt's s600 was basically a highly engineered turd.
haha ...I like the engine hoist in the end ...reminded me of my youth; we used to use a weight lifting bar(which was already hella heavy) to lift up the mini cooper engine and gearbox to install it into the car ...2 of us had to stand there holding the assembly up in the air while someone(usually my dad), yelled profanities while trying to align the mounts for bolting up ...hahaha, the good old days!
Don't have anything smart to smart so I'll just feed the algorithm some engagement, keep up the great work, absolutely adore the content and all hail the algorithm!
Good to see the circles and ovals are working 👍
The algorithm didn't like my longer comment. I believe the connector for the speed sensor is a Sumitomo HX series, 3 position, top rib, likely 090" pins. It's very cheap and no harness needed.
Randomly came across this channel recently and I've been binging ever since. I love the engineering technicals coupled with the "fuck it I'm lazy" methods. Plus your narration is on point. Gimme more!
LOL, this almost became a SuperfastMatt in space episode.
Woohooa! Folks click that notification bell! We like those fast uploads SuperFastMatt 😎! Cheers!
Congrats on getting the new engine in! All hail the algorithm!
Based on the teaser at the end, it looks like that engine crane might have been a good idea...
I lost it at the forest gump scene lol! Live your life man, I'm glad there are others out there like me 🍻
Smoking braided lines. Style points for sure.
I had a similar issue on my Honda motorcycle when I changed the CDI. Mine is an old CBR400RR so may be different but idk.
Turns out there's a speed sensor wire which needs a voltage or else the bike thinks it's doing 112mph all the time and cuts the ignition at around 6000rpm. I spliced a live wire into it and it worked. Don't know if this is a similar issue to what you're having but might be worth a look.
3 wires for the charging system almost certainly don’t care which away round they are.
That's what I thought. I figured since they were all the same color that it didn't matter.
@@SuperfastMatt , almost all bikes have either 2 or 3 wires from the stator to the regulator / rectifier, and generally the same colour as the6 are interchangeable. Some bikes just have separate spade connectors on the wires rather than a connector block.
It it a 3-phase generator in Δ configuration
you should look at a quick shifter, allows you to not use the clutch every time you shift
I love the honest narration style.
"I screwed up this and this"
"This is close enough good enough for now".
👍Just like the rest of us.
Love the fastest powered slow car teaser at the end!
Dear Matt, I just saw this video, having watched about 50 of your videos, and the fact that you said "turned" rather than "lathed" got you a thumbs up and a bell
Damn, I'm glad I'm not the only one that is crazy about this car
13:12. That’s a sweet yellow CVCC Civic!
It looks like your old hood-hole worked out eh?
Your videos are always worth the wait Matt!
You have the most reasonable number of projects of any other Cartuber I watch.
Matt is literally the guy in the Honda with a laptop on the passenger seat
Extended my lunch time to watch this. I love what you're doing!!
Another riveting episode, safer than welding apparently :¬) keep up the good work.
I see what you did there 😆
Probably someone has already commented but if that isn't the case, the three yellow wires from the rectifier come from a star or delta configuration where either way you connect them you'll get the same output.
I had the same question when building my first wiring on a bike and marked everything so I wouldn't mix them only to later find out it didn't matter.
My man, you're building one of my dream cars!
I don't know why it took the algorithm so long to bring me here, but it finally did!
Look forward to seeing this on the track in Q2.
that is looking sweet. love the direct shift. appreciate the British corrections.
For missing connectors, get some insulated spade connectors of the right size. Use a thin coat of Vaseline or silicone brake lubricant in the sensor hole, install the spade connectors then form a connector shape out of some tape. Now pour in some Dow Corning 733 silicone or G2 flexible epoxy to make yourself a handy DIY connector. Do let it properly cure first. G2 takes 3 days.
You did crimp the wires onto the spade connectors first, riiiight?
The stator wires can go any which way. They are AC current. The R/R changes AC to DC and regulates the voltage.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one forgetting to clamp back the ground of my welder. I feel your pain brother.
I can't wait until the next slow car fast episode
I love this car so much, I always wanted to find an old Triumph TR6 and throw a Triumph Rocket Motor in it… keep up the good work!
You know about Fanatik Builds on CZcams? He's coming close- a GT6 with a GM LS swap.
@@billh230 funnily enough, they've recently popped up in my recommendations. I'm currently starting my Triumph project, MKIV Spitfire with a Sigma 1.7 engine - nothing too crazy, aiming for 150bhp with low maintenance and fuel consumption so I can use it daily!
@@jase_llan That should be sweet when you're done.
@@billh230 I'm hoping so! The plan is for it to look standard as well, I don't plan on hacking the bodywork to get it to fit.
@@jase_llan Make a few videos and post them. I'm a sucker for true sleeper builds. It really sounds like something nobody would expect. E
Your having fun, enjoyed the show. Thanks
All hail the algorithm. Thanks for the post Matt.
Great stuff Matt! Thank you again for your words of wisdom.
Awesome. Steel braided lines can also work as shielded signal lines. Genius!! The weight reduction from all the extra wires in the harness
This has become my favorite channel
those three yellow wires have no order, they're three phase power from the stator and go more or less straight into a bridge rectifier in the reg/rect to be turned into DC
i just recently found out what a coolant bypass is since im removing the factory pump assembly and going to a complete custom setup. the fact that you brushed over it like nothing made me giggle since 90% of the rest of car guys probably have NO CLUE why you even mentioned it. You make everything look so easy!
Yeah, done that with the mass of the welder going through a braided hose!
Does cause some fires🔥, but as long as you do the welding outside, you don't die🤪 (too much).
I love this project Matt! Keep it going! Honda fan here!
All haill the Superfastness of Matt.
Ahhh, welding with a bad ground...
I've seen arc flash going through crank bearings. It's very... sad. 😬
I love your videos and honest humor about geometry and too many projects
I can across this by accident, what a find , love this so much , wish I was younger, I had more money then but , I'd love to have something like this , great work keep it up!!!
Matt, for our FSAE shifter on the CBR600RR, we used a push-pull Bowden cable for the manual shifter and it worked a treat for all those strange direction changes and packaging compromises. Might be worth a look at instead of the bell crank, and it's even more direct.
If anyone doubts that your chain hoist attached to your garage rafters is a bad idea, I have a worse one. Back around 1972, I put a 327 small block Chevy V8 into my Mum's 1963 Chevy II wagon. I did almost exactly what you did but the 2x4 supports were just an afterthought. And I only used one. I put that that engine in and took it out far too many times. So many in fact that I could do it by myself in just a few minutes. The tranny was attached and I got the angle just about right until the engine was most of the way in at which time I'd stand with one foot on the front bumper and the other on the top of the crank pulley to lift the rear of the tranny up a bit to land it on top of its mount. 50 years later I'm still here. So, maybe your hoist wasn't such a bad idea after all Matt.
Thanks for the new video!
Your commentary is what really brings me back lol. But your projects are pretty cool to
great project and a fun car to blast around in... even if you get stuck on the top deck..
In the voltage rectifyer because the AC voltage is filtered through the diodes and the diodes are all going the same direction I wouldn’t assume there would be any issue with how ever it gets hooked up.
yep they are interchangeable
Found you through Life of Pelos. I’m absolutely falling in love with this channel. Can’t wait to catch up on your videos. Stay you. Be well.
Top automotive content for sure!
Back on the road. Nice. All hail the algorithm.
I seem to buy and then sell an engine crane every few years when I need one. I did end up holding on to the most recent one as my garage is currently so packed with crap it doesn't meaningfully impact its lack of space. #logic Rafter-winch-hoist works as long as you can roll the vehicle out from under it!
you can buy a drive shaft adapter for that engine, they are used in mod lite race cars.
That’s awesome! On my CBR600 z600 swap, I was thinking about powering an alternator by using the driveshaft.
I like the little slap bass riffs.
CZcamsrs who publish their mistakes, then solve them and move on are the real heroes.
Matt, Love the adaptation of the drive shaft to the gearbox. I've always toyed with an idea like that, but didn't know if it would work
I only came across your channel today, and now I'm at least 5 videos deep! Your explanations are really great. Thanks for the stellar content
Excellent, it lives!
Next engine should be a ktm 1290 it has a dry sump systems built in. Or a
Motus v4 1650 cc 180 bhp and 160 Nm torque 123 lb.ft hydraulic lifters.
Life is good. All Hail!
"Fat guys" when i was a kid, a motorcycle went by with a big guy on it. It was making a metallic whooshing noise. My dad said, "that guy's chain is stretched out". I never forgot that lol i always listened for it after that, and actually hear it out in the wild still.
Don't tell any of the other channels I am subbed to, but you're my favorite CZcams channel.
you are a madman in the best kind of way.
I can finally click the like button on your videos now that you have correctly used the term turned instead of that other f'ing word.
Been waiting for this!
Thank you for saying "turned" hahahaha, vs lathed. love it!!
Off road guys use suspension limit straps for drive shaft loops. Cheap, easy, works good.
Such a dynamite little Hot Rod !!
My hat’s 🎩off to you sir😎
12:43 peep that beautiful W124 Estate
So … is there still any BMW parts in the car? I ask because that would explain turn signal technique when changing lanes.
