We are far from done with the 4200. Just needed a little break. Dad is still having a tough time. He just had to have surgery. It will probably be a couple months.
Never Ever Worked LMAO I love that. What a nice lil car. Bet its a blast on the street. And I'd say after 5 gallons that shirt is royally broken in LOL 🤙
Gasoline doesn't break in the clothing. Nope. You need brake fluid, brake cleaner and a bit of coolant to complete the break-in period. 🙂 All the best to you and the family. By the way... sticking your legs under a car on jack stands is asking for trouble... try instead to sit cross-legged 😛
I got my face blasted with gasoline today when I pulled the FPR our of the fuel rail on this LQ4 i am working on. Right in my open eyes, it doesn't bother me anymore... When I was a kid, gas in the eyes felt like FIRE!
Great detail Calvin. I now need to add the potentiometer to my ms3x if I can, I have the switch and light for the traction control. Lucky the car isn't back together still!
I laid on my back all day at the track yesterday working on a fuel leak on the return line to my stock gas tank. I figured my shirt soaked up approximately .75 gallons of fuel so that should be a good baseline volume. It was the first bracket race with my just put together turbo LS Duster with coincidentally a Goldbox ECU.
Transfer punches. Hole spotters are another useful tool. These come in threaded for threaded holes as well as non threaded for plain holes. KBC Tools is a good source for this kind of thing. Enco used to be the source until MSC bought them and dumped most of the lower end ( but OK for occasional use ) product line.
I'm running a microsquirt on my 4cyl nissan motor. I never thought of piggybacking, but I can see why you swapped over to MS3x with VVTi and the need for sequential spark and fuel.
Ask dad about the (66?) Nova tranny install. Great weekend. How's the shoulder feeling? The rest of your body will take a little longer I guess. Love to all. Cousin Allan.
You could. Or just put the wheels speed sensor on the wheel that is on the ground. You could probably use a shock height sensor to deactivate the traction control when the shock is fully extended.
These oddballs are what I like to see. Slowly getting back to the mood to keep evolving. 3:55 Here's why shops recommend reserving a few more bucks for a standalone. The stock ECU will simply get lost with parameters it was never built to deal with. Just because I like keeping all within the same house, I imagine such a small, light car would be nice with a NA FIAT 5-cylinder (which is actually quite well developed over here), just to have fun on twisty roads.
Sr20det would be nice… 4200 makes way more power. I think it’s built to go laser fast in a straight line. So smaller more expensive engines don’t really suit the build.
Can you make a video on just the ecu stuff? I want to know the easiest way to get this ecu and wiring needed to run the 4200 in a swap. With the piggy back ecu are the injectors batch firing? Are the coils batch firing?
I know you guys are big into in-line 6’s. For a smaller car like this could using the inline 5 (3.5 litre) from a Chevy Colorado? I thought those were the same architecture just one less cylinder so it wouldn’t be so long. I know you’re giving up displacement, but for a little peanut of a car like this probably still plenty of power!
Yeah. That would be a great option. Unfortunately for the price of the 5 cylinder we can get 4 of these 6 cylinders. I would love to mess with one someday...
I am so happy to see your content continue to come out and I pray your fathers recovery is going well 🙏
Calvin! I was hoping you didn't get burned out on the 4200 after your dad's accident. Good to see you back in action. How's dad recovering?
We are far from done with the 4200. Just needed a little break. Dad is still having a tough time. He just had to have surgery. It will probably be a couple months.
@@Calvin-Nelson Oof Sorry to hear, prayers, man.
@@Calvin-Nelson I am wishing your old man a full recovery!

Leaving a comment just in hopes this channel gets recommended to more people.

I'll get right on that. Lol
You forgot burned trans fluid.
Don’t forget a dab of blood in there somewhere too. Because you can’t get all of that on a shirt without busting at least one knuckle in the process 😂
Don't leave Gear oil off the list, the kind that smells like rotten bananas.....
@@fredbadgett7962 man, I hated that smell, the worst was when it was the first job of the day.
As an automation engineer we never call anything “a bug” it’s a feature.
Well, when you are trying to reduce the boost level and it instead gives it all the boost it can, I call that a bug.
@@Calvin-Nelson I call that a feature. *Moh Powa*
@@RadDadisRad until your upside down in a ditch because it blew the engine up...
@@Calvin-Nelson rapid unscheduled disassembly is another feature and so are tricks like flips.

Ouch. I've gotten droplets in mine before. Cars are so fun! Lol
That will never stop itching and burning.
What a cool car

Fun. Glad I'm not the only one.
I absolutely love this Fiat! Adorable… with teeth!

Great feature and work.
.534916 gallons of fuel into the armpit of your favorite orange shirt is considered a proper break in.
What a little rocket ship. That’s insane!
Calvin, 5 liters +- depending on the octane and ethanol content... Oh, and the colour of the shirt.
Cool car I bet it flys.
I love this car and build. Fantastic
Keeping the shiny side up is a good thing. 👍
Very. Lol
Love the NA direction of the channel. I still want to ask for help swapping a 4200 into my Tacoma if my engine ever dies. 😉
Feel free to message me.
Love this car... Haven't seen it before guess I haven't gone back far enough
Awesome video!
COOL STUFF CALVIN . PRETTY SLICK!
Loving the content, just got my Lincoln LS and getting ready to 4200swap it and fit a bmw ZF trans behind it.😊
Beautiful car!
"NOT" until your armpits are" SINGING" 🇨🇦👍
Good job keep up the good work thanks
TC is cool. I set it up on my LS turbo 240sx with MS3. I have a whole series on it on my YT. Great video!
Great info, thanks
Very Interesting.
Four. Four gallons.
Sometimes life is just one big fuckaround.
Makes it more interesting
Awesome!
Saw this and had to click! Go the fiat
I have a Goldbox to put in my 4.8 turbo 62 Falcon. If I ever get my butt back out in the garage working on it.
Get to it!!!
@@Calvin-Nelson there's an idea! I wanted to wait until it got good and hot so I could sweat more. 🤣
cool
I'm running a microsquirt on my 4cyl nissan motor. I never thought of piggybacking, but I can see why you swapped over to MS3x with VVTi and the need for sequential spark and fuel.
Man you guys are almost at 30k subs!
Yep. Inching closer everyday! Thanks for the continued support.
At least 3 gallons, keep dumping that fuel bro!
Armpit fuel is a horsepower adding feature...Illegal in Nascar.
Ask dad about the (66?) Nova tranny install. Great weekend. How's the shoulder feeling? The rest of your body will take a little longer I guess. Love to all. Cousin Allan.
I just did. He said he went through a lot of transmissions on that car. His shoulder has a long way to go. Just had surgery. It will be a few months
This is a real "rags to riches" Fiat story!
How many gallons? All of them of course!
In the video shown a sensor hooked up to the driveshaft is that we use for rear wheel speed or do you hook up a sensor to each wheel on the rear end?
You can do either. We did it on the driveshaft for this one.
yep...ummm hmmmm...STREET STUFF....ahhhhh😊
Two drops per pit, keeps the shirt broke in.
For drag racing where you lift front wheel one can then use a distance to ground sensor under the car instead,correct?
You could. Or just put the wheels speed sensor on the wheel that is on the ground. You could probably use a shock height sensor to deactivate the traction control when the shock is fully extended.
Do you have the link for traction control kit?
Not really a kit. Just a feature the Megasquirt Goldbox supports. For the wheel speed sensors. Just Google Cherry Hall effect sensor.
👍
1 quart is recommended for break in
Have you ever used those cherry sensors for a crank pick up?
No, but I know someone that has. They work decent for that, but he would have issues with it every once in a while.
These oddballs are what I like to see. Slowly getting back to the mood to keep evolving.

@@hondatech5000 Yeah, this one's clearly a drag racer. But a small roadster like that could be a fun car for zipping through turns.
A Vortec 4200? Interesting. I've sometimes wondered why those don't wind up in more builds.
You'll see a bunch more of that in this channel.
Can you make a video on just the ecu stuff? I want to know the easiest way to get this ecu and wiring needed to run the 4200 in a swap. With the piggy back ecu are the injectors batch firing? Are the coils batch firing?
Yeah it would be batch fire.
Mine usually take about 3… lol

Is Pop getting better.
He just had to get surgery on his shoulder. It will be a few months before he is back in the shop on a normal basis unfortunately
Calvin you want the response in engineering units coded or simply a standard kitchen measurement?
Dealers choice. Lol
@@Calvin-Nelson oh snap Calvin you gangsta
At least 4 gallons of gas. At least.
Calvin, was wondering if you've ever done anything with the Vortec 3700 5 cylinder...
We have not and have no plans to for now.
@@Calvin-Nelson Got it... I love the sound, though!
