"this is not the time, get back on the e36" Makes me realize how adam truly does have his team set on certain builds and not just 1 getting work done at a time.
I know you just spent some big bucks on all the shop stuff and the Drift HQ partnership but have you got enough pennies left for a cloning machine? We need a few more Johans out here 😂
Love the build and energy in these videos! TBH, as a fabricator and builder myself I would love if there was a second channel centered around the shop and what's happening with more detail (starring Johan). You guys are an inspiration!
I think it’s best you make a video addressing all the conflict behind your old crew. Saves all the unwanted comments from everyone asking where people are. As much as you may not want to. It’ll help in the end and hopefully stop it all.
No seatbelts + no doors + car with a cage is a death sentence I remember how much of an advocate you were of using your safety equipment back in the Bmx days. Stay safe and be smart Adam.
Tuners don't tune anything and everything they have preferred engine's and ECUs they tune as I've noticed a lot of tuners only specilize in one type of ECU I've never seen a tuner do every type of ECU including stock
You should put lights around the compound that change colors. Flip the switch to red when you are ripping around and green for when you’re not. Will help prevent accidents
After the FD season is over, I think the LZ team needs to go on a dang vacation and relax for at least a week. You guys have been working so hard for all of us and y'all deserve some time to relax!
can we just talk about this guys arm strenght placing the window with the naps on the side, FROM the side!? he has some damn confidence placing those S15 windows like that XD
Yes I vote for this, he needs to see how amazing they are, simple engines that make crazy power and torque, also if it’s a 16v it doesn’t have rocket arms!
From the very beginning it sounded like you have a one rod with excessive clearance, The excessive clearance is more than likely from one of four things the first is the rod was incorrectly sized during manufacture/machining and is why I like to take the time to blueprint /mock-up engines completely when building them. The second is the result of a screwup by the machine shop and one of the rod journals on the crank was incorrectly ground and or polished resulting in either a slightly undersized rod journal or out less likely an out of round rod journal, Option three is the crankshaft is not true this can result from previous engine damage resulting in a tweaked crankshaft, or a crankshaft that was dropped or was not stored in the vertical position when out of the engine. I have witnessed a crankshaft that was stored on its side for a little over 24 hours become slightly distorted, additionally I have also scene a crankshaft that was out of true from being stored on its side return to being true after it was stored on end (vertically) for a week or so. The fourth option is the upper rod bearing was damaged/distorted during assembly. This is normally caused when a piston is being tapped down into the cylinder and the rod hit the crankshaft at a bad angle or the upper bearing shell popped out of the rod slightly and became distorted either from the rod/bearings being roughly tapped home. In any event one or more bearings has developed excessive clearance. Lastly when dynoing a vehicle and the tuner says I thinks I hear engine noise chances are he/she hears a noise.
Half way through the vid..... Just gotta say, I'm digging the edits/montage'ish stuff!!! Content is always welcomed... But presentation is what drives it home!!!!! Keep it going!!!
sounds like shim clearance honestly, the clearance isnt the big issue, its making sure all shims across exhaust and intake side are the same height (ex. exhaust guide and shim need to match so that way the rocker isn't sitting sideways, make sure they're all the same across exhaust side, and then do the same for the intake within oem tolerance, HOT SHIMS makes kits for this)
Saw the car at Z Fever and was surprised!!! I had my 350z tuned there. I really hope you get it finished. You should come out to showtime sometime to drift.
Ive been watching Adam since he was in college and rode BMX everyday but know watching im confident about ripping my engine apart and out it back together again thx Adam 🤑🤗
That bottom end still making noise when it hits low idle that it looses oil pressure. I mean why listen to a professional right? 😂 the dude in the dyno told you rod knock from the get go. Y’all wasted an entire day chasing y’all tails. Just saying 😂
Did you see the exhaust gasket looks like it's been leaking. That can make that ticking sound. Plus the idle rattle is the VCT gear they are quite prone to rattling especially if high lift cams are involved.
a tip when looking at cut open oil filters or any cut filter squeeze it in a vice and get rid of the oil etc and you can see so much better how much metal is in there.
Anyone whos had that infamous rattle before it spins the bottom end be laughing RN watching them try figure it out... give it some time she'll spin eventually mate
Disconnect the TPS sensor while checking base timing it kills the VTC advance and keeps its stable while you set base timing
This
Every now and then the comment section has useful tips, hopefully and sees this
And for other setups you can usually lock the timing in the ecu
Best comment for advice. Adam…?.? Nope to busy swapping it for the third time
Zszzzzz
If you look past the engine tick she sounds like an absolute BEAST. It sounds so beautiful.
I'm sorry but that's funny. Your not wrong tho. If it was mint it would sound extremely good
it sounds like normal lifter ticking to me tho just normal engine noise, if the hood was shut we wouldn't hear it i think
14:22: that sounded oil starved lifters before it revved back some oil pressure so 16:20 idk
Not a big fan of screamer pipes but the fancy cast manifold adds some nice spice
@@madcanic9632 lol bruv good thing you ain’t a mechanic
I'm glad you show the process and the trials and tribulations to your builds. That makes it infinity more relatable
By all means.
Had same problems with my "new" car last year

You have to with multiple cars. Not just any team though, one you can trust.

quick released
Tuning cars. He still runs his company on a lower scale I believe.
Wondering the same thing!
He popped from left foot braking
Adam wants a “simple SR” set up, not remembering how often he had the engine out of his s13.
srs r trash
@@cykauskinaranj3879 when was last time u worked/owned one?
@@cykauskinaranj3879 nah. Sr's are reliable if built right. Adam rushed building this to debut it at a drift event and now he's suffering. Lol

Adam needs to see this I 100% agree
Adams gone from having next to no SR issues ever, to having all of them in a week lol. Hope you get her sorted bro 👍

I've noticed for a while I really wanna know what happened he was soo good
@@JustMakingItHap-en bro i wonder the same havent seen him so long
Same here asked this question while back
Same. From what I've seen he hasn't been around since 3rd round of FD
ADAM PLEASE ADDRESS WHAT HAPPENED TO FREDDIE!!!!!
Finally someone to eat my late night snack with
Same bruh
Lmao same im eating ice cream
gold fish rn
Having a mango rn
Grapes and pretzels weird stuff
I think it’s best you make a video addressing all the conflict behind your old crew. Saves all the unwanted comments from everyone asking where people are. As much as you may not want to. It’ll help in the end and hopefully stop it all.
Adam. It’s time you addressed the Freddie situation. Many viewers have tin foil hat theories. Put them to rest.
YES
What's happened
I agree he has just disappeared
The alligator in the pond ate him.
You think he may not be able to talk about it? You never know but I kind of agree, not gonna lie, I wanna know too!
The scenery in this video is absolutely mind blowing and I love it and motivates me soo much
Really cool seeing Martin again. It brought back memories when you took the S13 there many times.
Why ain’t Freddie tuning ur car bro
No seatbelts + no doors + car with a cage is a death sentence I remember how much of an advocate you were of using your safety equipment back in the Bmx days. Stay safe and be smart Adam.
Was thinking same thing. Collette flying out the car
🙏
You know it’s a good day when Adam LZ post a CZcams video
Yes sir
Confused why Freddie isn't tuning it ?
Same I haven't even seen him around in any videos recently.
#wheresfreddy
Because Martin is the SR guy
Tuners don't tune anything and everything they have preferred engine's and ECUs they tune as I've noticed a lot of tuners only specilize in one type of ECU I've never seen a tuner do every type of ECU including stock
same broo did he left or ??
Man these video’s are so beautifull to watch, what an awesome team! Enjoy every minute.
You need to put the blitz on the s15
Let’s go, y’all are working so hard just for these awesome vids and I’m so thankful
Can’t wait to see the finished product and that sound 🤧🥵
You should put lights around the compound that change colors. Flip the switch to red when you are ripping around and green for when you’re not. Will help prevent accidents
Communication is free
I think anyone with ears knows when he's ripping 🤣
Another day another SR struggle, brings me lots of joy having left them behind!
After the FD season is over, I think the LZ team needs to go on a dang vacation and relax for at least a week. You guys have been working so hard for all of us and y'all deserve some time to relax!
I remember that tuner dude from your videos.. love that dude..seems like straight to the point type of guy
Ay what happened to him
This was a blast from the past, enjoyed it.
SR teething problems and general S chassis confusion is what this channel was built on… 💪
Where's freddie?
Is Freddie still with LZMFG?
Curious about that too

No.
No he is not i think sonething extremely shady went down...

Patiently waiting for the 3 Rotor build
3? 4 Rotor dude! 😂😂
It’s a 4 rotor
can we just talk about this guys arm strenght placing the window with the naps on the side, FROM the side!? he has some damn confidence placing those S15 windows like that XD

Do a KA build with johan! That'll be rad, let him pick everything out

Johan can build the KA for Jimmy Oakes RWD Civic :D
Sweet. Now ka prices are going to skyrocket. Thanks johan 😂👍

Rod knock 💯👊
I've been wondering where freedie has been? don't remember seeing him in the fd videos also....
What happened to freddie
Who knows. I wonder the same
He quit and went back to his old job
That’s the vvt sprocket making the noise……..
9:18 pm *motor put back together*
9:21 pm *sends a rip of donuts to break it properly*
Entire reason this is my favorite yt channel.
The lighting looks so good
Where’s Freddie the tuning guy and shulmen
The dyno session took me back to NFSU2 times, they really nailed the audio in that game.
where u can hear the engine hit limiter too
Half way through the vid..... Just gotta say, I'm digging the edits/montage'ish stuff!!!

Don’t you have your own dyno? How come you aren’t tuning it on there
Had a Dyno but no one to tune it apparently
Probaly because he wanted to see Martin. And he runs a business too so he probably didn't wanna pull him away from it.
