Damn the Ariel is starting to look really nice. Much improved from original video. Keep up the awesome work!
It has been a joy to watch this come together.
God bless you guys!
Thanks you for watching that means a lot
loving this content. The edge gauge inside the cowl came out great
You've done some amazing modifications to this Atom to make it what you want...
DUDE, thing is awesome! Looks really good with the skunk-works parts !
Please... no more staging phone calls for effect. Keep it real.
Usually to prelube the turbocharger and to keep oil flowing through the turbocharger after shutdown to avoid frying the oil, and then the turbocharger as well.
Sounds so nice ✓ can't wait to see what else is in store for it
We got some awesome things planned for it. Thanks for watching
That is going to be quite a machine when you get done. Thanks for the video. God bless!
This is one of the few channels I can listen to without having to stop the video due to bad language (cursing). Interesting wholesome stuff.
We purposely keep the channel clean for that reason
Bikes and Beards and it’s a sin
The Atom 4 with that Honda Type R motor sounds badass, too.
This is a cool journey to come along with you on🤙
Your first track day adventure is going to be off the hook with that car. Can't wait to see that video man! Cars coming together well, glad your taking the time to do things right, it will all count in the long run brother. Hats off to you sir well done indeed! Blue skies to you and the team man, take care and have the appropriate amount of fun you definitely do deserve it! Thanks for taking us along for the ride on this one................. Jay
The Edge Insight mounted under the windscreen is dope.
Looked like you were replacing iridium plugs with cheap alternative plugs?
Iridium just last longer but isn't always the best choice
Iridium has a better heart rating. Say hello to knock
I love this channel keep up the good work all the best from ireland
Thank you and we will
You have better troubleshooting skills than alot of the self proclaimed CZcams mechanics!! Building/maintaining your own hot rod is so rewarding.
Thanks but I have a lot to learn. I know enough to know that I don’t know much lol
Those are so cool. Total flex!
This project is coming together real nice. 👍
Yeah it is, I can’t wait to see what it does on the dyno
The parts look super awesome.
Yeah I’m very impressed with the quality and how quick they came in from the UK
Oh wow. Just finished watching the others and wondering when the next episode was coming along - and here it bloody well is. HUZZAH!
Same here i just discovered it this morning and saw this was upload
This is the third video and we are going to the dyno tomorrow. And we plan on releasing atom videos every Wednesday
It’s coming along nicely! The front splitter is a must have and I think the all carbon/black with that one little piece orange looks great!
I was thinking bout painting that orange. Blue what do you think ?
Bikes and Beards blue would look good too but that orange with orange rims would be badass!
I think the front splitter being Orange matching the intake being orange would be really good looking, been waiting for someone to finally go out and get one of these beasts. Always loved it since i saw it on Top Gear with the famous shot of Clarksons face being pulled back lmao
I have the same boost guage for my Volkswagen pushing 20 psi. Look at the bulb number in the back and get a LED replacement from eBay. I got blue to match my interior lights and it's brighter and nicer-looking. It's a cheap boost guage but I've used it 2 years without issue. It rattles a little over 15psi on 4-5 gear highway pulls. I have mine in a custom guage pod built for the top of my steering column.
Another rocking episode of the Ariel Atom. Great one guys and take care. Jay UK
Thanks mega jay
Coming along nicely guys. Any chance you are going to put the front spoiler back on?
Another great video 👍
That System that Pre Lubes the Motor , Was developed during WW2, for Aircraft Engines.
A small line of orange pinstripe on the front splitter and rear wing (maybe on the sides of the rear wing uprights) to tie the car together. Otherwise all black (carbon) everything. Such a mean little car.
Orange pinstripe on the wing or an inch of orange paint on the rear edge.
Not wing, sorry. Front splitter.
i would have been just as jazzed to open them packages and doing these mods. you guys are so blessed. keep the atom subtle in my opinion. nothing too loud or flashy or done before. looks cooler and better chance for resale. thing is redic already and as you know needs no help drawing attention. lol
Thanks. This project has been a lot of fun. And we hope everyone enjoys watching the progress
Dude, can I just come and hang with you guys for a day...lol... Love the shenanigans and the SPEED! Great channel! Maybe I will run it to ya at Hannum's in Media sometime. Past few days I went down an SRK youtube rabbit hole and loved it!
Yo what’s up Rob
That gizmo is an accumulator. It stores oil at working pressure, then releases it at startup, and sounds like it does if oil pressure drops during driving as well. So it provides like a prelube at engine start. Big rigs use them. Nice add.
Thank you
Dead right some of the more enthusiastic Atom owners with the wings have hit some decent high corners speeds and enough G for oil starvation to be an issue.
Rollbar WAS an option. If that's a "300HP" tune, you're probably gonna see about 225hp at the wheels. Mine produced 226WHP.
Indeed it was/is but unless you want to track it and need it for compliance its a bit ugly imo
You can usually find mass air flow issues by tapping it with a screwdriver, if it studders replace it
It's looking good👍
They made this from a Chevy Cobalt or a Pontiac g5 I knew that
motor looked familiar that cool it's a easy motor to work on and build power out of very nicely built to
The Repsol theme would be okay IF this was a Honda powered Atom like many of them are. As this is a GM powered machine, I'd stick with the blacked out look.
Awesome work so far.
Jeffrey Triebenbach k swap
I second this. Idk why anybody would choose a Chevy 4 cylinder for something like this. And Honda or Toyota 4cyl would have been a much better choice. For performance, reliability and part availability.
It’s a pretty impressive motor
colby sandone they went with a Chevy motor because America!
You might also check your SC AW pump. Brammo wired them backwards @ the factory which at best caused low pump flow and at worse, air pockets in the AW circuit. I would also replace the fuel filter, trans fluid (Redline MT-90 is what I use) and complete a LOF using a premium synthetic (Redline 5-30). The front lower control arms use a serviceable ball joint that can/should be lubed. Like I noted on your prior video, you should look @ replacing the heims on the control arms (there are 6 total) with an extended shank unit. I even had new adjustment thimbles fabbed up from CroMo to ensure that the connection between the control arm and the spindle was not the weak link. I have pretty much done every serviceable upgrade to address every weak link in the Brammo Atom. If you need info, feel free to send me a PM. Again, best of luck w/your Atom
Wow I have so many questions can you leave me your info by emailing us at sales@srkcycles.com please
As soon as it's finished I'm gonna take you up on your agreement for a ride in that beast!
For a guy that rides bikes you seem pretty scared to hit the ground in a car!? I like the project! Something different and I enjoy following you as you investigate and discover new things about the car. Great content! Keep it up.
Clear indicator lenses with osram diadem bulbs FTW. Definitely carbon fibre front wing and imo, black the orange intake trim. Cool vids...
Thanks
Timing chain tension REQUIRES oil pressure. You’ll know if it needs maintenance,, it will chatter like crazy upon startup. Only until oil pressure is built.
Great work looking good watched an atom doing a hill climb in Britain INSANELY Fast
I didn't even know was a massive difference in UK v USA SPEC atoms did you?,I'd like to put them side by side and see witch is better?
The USA spec engine compartment looks rather messy?,the roll over hoop was designed so feed UK supercharger but USA spec the supercharger know where near there.
Wow so shocked at the differences...
Enjoyed that thanks,
Thank you
@@BikesandBeards my favourite show is the one you delivered to new York the Bobber with red wheels, then this Atom stuff, God bless you and your family, from England.
Y'all are doing a great job! If I had one of these things I'd be tempted to place a Beige 1998 Toyota Corolla shell over it and take it to track day. Yeah I'm that guy. LoL
Make the fairings carbon then the chasis the color of your choice. Orange or green looks dope
good vid dude, but sure the safety head protector comes as stantard??
its an expansion tank. you have to pressurize it. when in a high G corner it maintains oil pressure to the bearings instead of baffling the inside of the oil pan.
LSJ is a strong engine. Smaller pully on the M62 and you can strech it to 300bhp. Add a harrop tvs 1320 lsj edition supercharger, and you can go to 350.
Yeah buddy! Looking good. Dope mods. It's nice to see some different content. I like the fact that you admit to not being a mechanic.
What Dyno you taking it to? I don't know of any good ones I'm the area.
Thank you and we are taking it to the same place that we just took the viper. Race krafters
@@BikesandBeards Cool. Thanks. I will have to check them out.
Get a carbon fiber front wing with silver accent looks great so far ! Can’t wait for the next update ....
It's a beautiful thing
Love seeing the Eaton M90 stuffed down in there!! That is a great supercharger.
Interesting
Just think, it was a good size on the 3.8l gm and Ford platforms. Could make 400hp and 450tq with tuning and a port job. Its huge on this little motor.
It's an M62, but still large for a 2.0L motor.
Looks awesome with the new pieces. However, I'm like you...I think it needs a little color to make it pop. Keep up the great work!
Great minds think alike
Its looking a lot better for all your work ,I wont tell you that today ive been looking at the all new Ariel Atom prototype .
Yeah me too. The nomad looks awesome
@ Crewkerne or have TMI got a test build done now?
@@tcroft2165 Crewkerne ,we had it at our classic car show
I didn't even know Crewkerne had a classic car show. Haselbury Mill ?
@@tcroft2165 it was the first classic car show we have done it was at hinton st george
Wow 👍🏼👍🏼🤔🖖🏽
You will learn by doing this it will become fun I like tinkering
Well done
How much were you boosting ?
Around 12
Those looked like NGK Iridiums? Also did you double check your gap, I wouldn’t trust factory ? Couldn’t really tell but you looked rich. Car is awesome Sean, wish I could tune it with ya, it would be a blast.
Hello fellows. I really enjoy watching your videos. I have a 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000R, it is the first motorcycle I ever bought new. I found a good deal one Province over from me in Alberta, I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and anyway the Suzuki Dealership in which in nearly bought a new "Old stock" 2015 GSX-S1000F---They had that bike on for $9,899.00 Canadian Dollars, which right now is $8464.30 American Dollars, one LARGE PROBLEM and one smaller one, that bike was Silver and I found the GSX-R1000R for $5,000.00 off the base/sticker Price. This was about a month after the financing had gone through for the lesser bike in my eyes, so wasn't sure how they may like hearing from me asking for a price match, well I called them said match the price I found and I will be down today to buy the bike, they not only matched the price but threw in the Suzuki 5 year Unlimited warranty that had just expired, (They did something with the date, giving me a 6 year warranty and a $1,000.00 Gas Card) The Base/Sticker Price for the GSX-R1000R was $21,899.00 and i got it for $16,899.000 with the warranty and Gas Card, Plus they threw in a Pair of Alpine Stars Gloves, they were about the $200.00 mark, the rear Seat Cowl and the true GSX-R1000 Cover another $200.00 for each of those Items. I am 52 and just won't buy what places have written down as the price. Even if it is saving a dollar, I have to or not buying it. I got that from my older brother, though could learn some tips watching your videos as well. Merry Christmas to you all. I wish you well, thanks for the video's and please keep it up. I enjoy watching.
1 little tip high temperature anti-seize on the plugs you will never regret using this.
14:57 Ditch the DEXCOOL (aka dexKILL) immediately , flush thoroughly and switch to the pink stuff.
Dexcool garbage gunk. Don't mix!
You always seem amazed at the words coming outta your mouth.
that front carbon fiber peice seems too low inthe back, it might be nicer with a few spacers at the back bolts,
OK, you have to know that someone would ask what the cool knife was that you used to open the box! I need one of those! What is it and where do I buy one from?
Lol yes yes that was made by one of our subscribers and he custom made it for me from a truck leaf spring.
Just want to say, I really enjoy your bible verses in your videos.... one really helped me with my walk with he Lord so thank you 😊
Gods word can have that affect. Thank you
***Put an orange racing stripe or pinstripe down the middle of the hood if it needs some color! That would look awesome me thinks!
😖 Cliff Hanger episode!!! Rule number one, always leave them wanting more. Well played, sir.
be sure to use the corresponding spark plugs, otherwise when there is positive pressure you can get detonations and piston knocks
Good to know, I will check on that
Might want to think about getting a 4 wheel geometry done on this, its obviously had a little off somewhere with the front bits broke, and when you were driving it the wheel doesn't line up properly.
Yes we will be doing that when we get the tires installed
Sweet ride that thing shud Handel like its on raales when you can master keep the back end in check
F & R wing + good quality tyres (up to temp) and its great. Drive it on cold worn tyres and tough as... !
Look into AutoMeter DashLink or similar product . You can selectively monitor dozens of engine and performance parameters including boost, egt, coolant temp, etc.
Links to your phone or tablet which can be mounted on your dash. Saves running lines and wires everywhere.
I was looking onto those. Do you have one and how do you like it ?
So I can tell from the plugs it is running REALLY rich, apparently that is a problem the LSJ powered Atoms are known for. Definitely get a proper dyno tune done to it before it sets itself on fire.
Get ahold of zzp and get a tune, smaller pulley(2.8), injectors and the dual pass for the intake manifold. That should get you 260ish hp.
Some of the atoms came with dual pass plates but I’m not sure what mine has
@@BikesandBeards nice...all the supercharged LSU's should have had this. But I think Chevy decided to drop the lsj for the lnf and figured why bother.
He's taking out dirty iridium and replacing them with what looks like cheap non-iridium plugs?
Iridium is not always the right choice. Especially on forced induction.
@@SethBergile I've actually never seen iridium not be the best choice for a FI car be it turbo, supercharger, and especially nitrous (platinum plugs with nitrous will destroy your valves like nobodys business). But I've only owned like a dozen higher performance FI vehicles (no Cobalt SS's yet, but I'd grab the newer turbo one over the SC one any day if the week) so maybe?
@@Tiralful agreed. My gtp (supercharged v6) loves the skinny iridium plugs.
I just did a little bit of research to see what other guys with boosted and modified lsj were doing and that’s what I tried. It’s very possible that it might not be the best plug. But hopefully better than what was in it
@@BikesandBeards definitely better then what it was. Besides you keep voicing how you know almost nothing about working on cars! The old broken splitter is going to a giveaway right?
On some of your videos you repeat that your not a mechanic but i you and i both know that the lord does not preset us with challenges we cannot handle your doing just great 👍.
For the tough jobs I’m happy to know some very good mechanics. That’s Gods blessing on me
Easter? Not too far behind are we? LOL. Reminds me of a Hot Wheels car I had as a kid.
you got a vacuum leak somewhere looks like, it should be pulling almost -20 at idle.
I've heard the shifter is really nice on the Honda powered cars, how's the shifter on your Atom 2? Never know with cable linkages
It needs the Bushong replaced with metal ones. So as of now. It’s not that great.
Cable linkages suck. We had a first gen Cadillac CTS V it had cable shift linkage it just made a great car mediocre.
damn that is a sweet ride! That carbon fiber look tho? Definitely a great choice! Btw nice jacket sean ..you sell those?
Yes maybe check our bikes and beards gear.com
@@BikesandBeards well I didn't see the jacket but was looking at the M1 moto 508 and your "perfect for but not limited to" list was amazing lol that really had me going! You guys are awesome
Damn they are stylish sandals you're wearing. (8.42)
Great channel but that scream in the beginning... woke my kid up 😉😭
I was going to go with the Repsol theme
Harrison- what's that?
Man point -1
Does that have a stock fire suppression system?
Cool beans brother
You replaced the iridium plugs with standard plugs, the reason it have iridium plugs is because it's a lot of removing stuff to change them. The iridium plugs last longer so you don't have to change them that often = removing everything again.
Surprised it even ran without iridium
Bad weather there?... forget about it...sunny and 90* today in Az...cooler in A.M. for bike rides...No Rain.
Dang that’s awesome
Hi, you sell, FAIR weather vehicles, but its really cold, raining ,or snowing there, with ice ready for you to slip on, in most of your uploads...its rather perplexing for me to grasp...great videos and keep on selling those bikes.
15:59 Made my Day!! LMAO!!!
What is that grabber tool called?
To get an accurate max boost reading the car should be in 3rd gear. You were getting 11.5 psi in first or second it looked like. Speed vs load is still a factor on supercharged cars I think, but I could be wrong, Im a turbo guy.
6:00 You mean everything on the car is standard but the engine is a rare non-standard measurement
Standard in the USA is inch, fool.
DailyStalkerUpdate look up international standards fool
@@DailyStalkerUpdate an inch is defined by the meter, fool
I would have replaced the coil packs while I was in that far. They are notorious for failing.
Nice. Turbos would give it some more poke!
Tbh its worse imo. Super light weight cars really need NA or supercharged engines. Turbos lag too much it spoils the fun. The US spec turbo versions of the atom delivered about the same as the (Global) supercharged versions anyway (stock)
@@tcroft2165 Are there any ways to reduce the turbo lag? Could this Atom be supercharged do you think, and what kind of power increase would be expected?
Atoms were supercharged from Atom 2, 3, 3.5(+r). In the US they went turbo in the 3.5R+RS iirc. The new 4 is Only Turbo.
You can reduce the lag (which is small by normal car metrics but noticeable still) Lightweight cams, pistons, pulleys, drive/half shaft etc. You can also hide some of the lag with other upgrades. So lightweight wheels makes the car quicker to accelerate. Base engine upgrades help a bit as well. The 4 comes @ 320bhp but 350 with a tune.
Id give ZZPerfomance a call and get some upgrades for that LSJ.
Very cool ;)
You never mentioned (or I didn't hear you) what did you pick this up for? I have always wanted some form of exocet type of vehicle. Most are high 50k into 100k plus.
$24k
Wowerz, that is a insanely good price for this fantastic vehicle!
Repsol?? With the Chevy engine??
World's best car to work on
nice...
Thanks for the awesome videos of the Atom. I'm a diehard Atom lover and love any new content regarding these cars. So I have a 07 Atom that came with the cobalt motor and then I swapped almost 98% of all the original parts of the 2 with a 2016 3s(365hp rated; 500hp later this year). The only items that are left from the 2 are the frame and seat.
The Brammo cars came in different stages that were identified by removing the ECU and flipping it over to reveal what stage it was. That is how I learned mine was a stage 2 after spending $1k for a stage 2 kit from ZZP performance. (So Sad that was).
My 2 put down about 260rwhp.
Oh, do you have your Slingshot still? I just noticed the video but have not viewed it yet. I would love to see a race of the Polaris and Atom.
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help out. I wished you were in Cali.
Wow this is awesome I will have to check the ecu for sure to see what stage mine is and please contact me at sales@srkcycles.com
That’s awesome can you leave me your contact info at sales@srkcycles.com
@Aaron Ginkens, The Polaris are high 5second 0-60, It wouldn't even be a race the Atom would wallop that thing.
ariel atom is love, ariel atom is life
Stands to reason that if it fits going one way it'll fit going the other way. Remember it's not the size... It's how you move it.
says the guy with the small unit
