- Go to petalcard.com/... to find out more and get started today! This is episode 3 of our 1962 Triumph Spitfire Engine Swap. The engine is from a Yamaha RX1 snowmobile and our supercharger kit is a MPI stage 1. The car should make over 200 HP and around 10 LB of boost when it is all said and done. In this video we make custom engine mounts, axles and more!

You guys deliver... thats what seperates you from other youtubers.... that and your welding and overall craftsmanship skills
And they build actually functional projects. Unlike 212 predator crap.
yes ! I kind of hope that they expands their team with one more person so that they can keep up the pace and quality without getting completely drained for energy!!
And the editing is sooooooo good
skylar peppler exactly what I’m saying
I would very much agree with all of you!
When I watch other videos I skip through the boring stuff. With your videos I never skip keep up the good work I watch every video ♥️
Same
I actually reduce the playback speed to .5 during the short cut scenes so I can see the stuff they're doing at fast speed.
They are the best on the site m
I skip through the "Todays Sponsor"
Same
The single most unique, off the wall build I've seen up to this point. Well done boys, good stuff.
Yep. The Venn Diagram overlap is infinitesimal. A snow globe filled with snow globes.
Rad.
Surprisingly simple too
Awesome!!!! This poor Triumph is gonna get a rude awaking when it wakes up from it's nap... Gonna be ROWDY!!
Should def take it to hoonigan and shred it in the burnyard once it’s done, they’d definitely have you on their show.👍👍
A diff oil change will be a bit problematic then. 😅
And i doubt the cvt will help
I don't think they should give all their views to Hoonigan. Keep it for their own channel. Hoonigan seems to be all about wrecking stuff and showing off how much money they can spend on things. They are a totally different channel. I like this channel a lot more so far, since they aren't about money, they are all about saving money.
@@Ritalie facts. They're doing things that anybody with mechanical skills and shallow pockets could do in their own garage.
@@Ritalie if you had enough money to do what they did you probably would do it. And if you actually followed the hoonigans you would see that most of their projects are on the cheaper side.
You know what wears out belts faster than misalignment? 200 horsepower!
Its a cvt. They have a tendency to wear out quickly.
It's mainly eat that destroy them. If there's no proper ventilation and the pulleys are slightly misaligned, the belt will explode in the first 100 miles.
I agree! I'm a big guy and my sled is aligned perfectly but because my sled is 240hp and I'm so heavy it absolutly eats belts.
Traction and HP.... tie it together right!!!!
That's rule #2
@Kris K Please dont believe everything you hear on the internet. These guys are most likely paid to promote that company. I've tried different brands on my sleds and read a lot on forums. There is no brand that is much better than the other and a lot of times, the OEM comes on top.
Please remember to add a couple driveshaft loops. DIY is cool but with that setup I'd be seriously worried about your leg experiencing sudden unintentional disassembly.
These guys are expert fabricators. I am confident their welds wouldn't break off. But that old drive shaft could explode from the power of the gear reduction and torque converter and 200 hp motor.. Maybe an entirely new driveline and rear axle would be the next project. I hope they do a series on this car.
Same with the clutch guard. I don't know if you ever seen what a belt turning at 8.5k rpm can do when it explode, but it's not pretty.
Maybe just rework the old cardboard tunnel? Some extra sticky-tape and some staples? :)
@@MrArcticPOWER - Good point. Hadn't even thought of that. It's a pretty beefy belt so lots of mass to whip around.
8:36.....
The only bad thing about this video is that it ends :(
Way too short.
Ya but you get to build up a relationship with the build and its a lot more satisfying when its done after a lot of vids and work. But I think they do a very good job at comin thru
I know
This build is moving so fast I thought they'd be driving by the end.
Agreed
Best CZcams channel right here.
engineer: "but if we make the tunnel out of cardboard it'll disintegrate if they drive in the rain?!"
ceo: "who would be foolish enough to drive one of our cars in the rain HAHAHAHA"
H8 2B "That guy" But PLEASE guys put the guard on the angle grinder, i know it's a hassle but if that disc goes we're really talking about the possibillity of a bad day and possibly also the last. Love your videos! Great McGyvering and fantastic editing.
Finally a lathe! You guys can become even better machinist with that.
Talk about Mcgyver skills.... Hats off to you guys... love your builds...
For the Next power wheels build a mini Diesel truck
RB26SNO ye take the engine out of the mahindra mini jeep (inline 4 turbo diesel with a 5-speed manual trans)
Hell yes...
Now that is a good idea!
ur tryin 2 tell me a 3cyl turbo yanmar or jd/ etc in a yamaha rhino? i think they made them factory but not with that big of an engine
Snag a 3cyl kubota reefer engine, cheap and plentiful and makes 75-100hp. Thanks to California, there are literally tens of thousands of these engines that have to be replaced even though they are functional and plenty of life left in them because they don't meet new emissions schemes
That is the cleanest I've ever seen the garage :). You can tell this is a special project if they took the time to clean and make room for everything! Looks great guys.
I rarely comment on people’s videos but you two have inspired me to get back into fabricating and building things. Simply fantastic work and editing. Cheers to many more years and projects!!
This project is insane guys !!! All the transmission work is very cool to watch... I'm currently making my own version of the Barbie Jeep with a 10KW electric motor... Insane torque you'll see ;)
Nice work! Dude you guys finally got a metal lathe! They are definitely a game changer, I bought mine a few years ago, it’s really nice to have one. Next shop tool you guys definitely need is a milling machine. Take care
I am so excited for this...Those old lathes are great.. saves me so much time on my stainless tube fitup for tig...
I love this channel because they are not just another CZcams channel. They deliver excellence and make every video a great video.
You guys gotta give Sam some more screen time to show off his skills.
But LOVING how fast this build is already coming together! WOW she is going to be so friken fun!
With so many cool projects I don’t know how y’all stay focused. Keep the videos coming
You have the best build channel. From your B roll to the editing. Other channels I sometimes get bored. Not one boring minute from all your videos. Keep up the amazing work!
Great music guys! Makes watching lighter and smooth! Well done 👍
I'm a Triumph nut through and through, and I LOVE this build
O.M.G. I think I'm in love with that steel cutter. I wish I had a shop with the tools that you do brother. Keep up the good work.
Nice to hear some background music I haven't heard in 100 other videos. Great job guys! Can't wait to see what you get done next week!
All your videos piss me off because I get so into the build and then I have to wait for the next episode! Lol
"Sudden Unintentional Disassembly!".
Not just a inconvenience, it's a way of life...
Honestly who the hell could dislike anything from this channel!?!?!?
So ready for this car to be done. Its going to be awesome. Keep up the good work and killer builds.
More Ethan Cam with CAD. Love it. Congrats on your lathe. Can't wait to see the cool stuff you fab up, don't forget to school us a tiny bit.
Don’t mean to sound like a jerk or anything but please don’t wear loose fitting clothing around a lathe it can seriously mess you up
Sam Lockman damm right! Can you say fucking with death.
jimb0jam yeah man the first shop I worked and had a lathe and my shop foreman told me so many horror stories of people getting pulled into them and getting there inter arms ripped off because they’re wearing a jacket or even just a pair of loose fitting gloves
I have to clean up someone who got pulled into a lathe, meat grinder.
You guys sound like pussies. And I’ve been a machinist for 13 years. 🤦♂️
Matt Myles famous last words. sounds like you’re just a lucky pussy. How are you gonna try and argue literal fact 😂
Great looking build, great music, great editing. Perfect channel.
That shear and lathe are very cool tools. What a fun build.
That is going to be a scary little Triumph when it's done can't wait!!!
This is my favorite CZcams channel. I could watch u work all day long.
Damn, this channel is so awesome. Thanks guys. I know you are having fun, but its allot of fun being along for the ride too.
I'd like to point out that the rear suspension setup on a spitfire will tend to "tuck" the rear wheels when cornering. Do not attempt to drift this you will have a roll over event. I suggest a roll over bar of some discription before you try anything at speed. otherwise I so excited to be watching this!
who could dare dislike any of these videos these are the best videos i see on CZcams
brother, I love you, thank you very much for having the Spanish subtitles, how good it is to be able to watch your videos, enjoy and know what the hell they are talking about. I am from Argentina
I can’t click on your stuff fast enough. Whenever I can’t watch as soon as I get the notification, I look forward to getting to.
Keep it up Ethan and Edwin ❤️
Cool project, just a thought be careful of the rear wheels with the standard rear suspension, you can have the rear wheel “tuck under” on extreme cornering and speed. You can add a chain to stop this happening, look it up or lift the car up and see what happens. This can cause the car to roll! Just trying to help. Keep up the good work. 👍
4-link?
Yes, it's the same setup as the infamous Chevy Corvair.
It's interesting to see how your builds change according with the seasons of the year! Awesome project, hope it turns up OK!!
I own a 1948 atlas QC42. With the 1 piece headstock bearing yours is probably 1950's . If it has the original headstock bearings they were hand engraved on the outer race with the month / year. Awesome machine man!
u guys are like.... the big car builder`s version of cars and cameras
Make sure to upgrade the differential. I had one with a 4AGE at around 100whp. The ujoints are small enough they didn't last long and the diffs aren't known for lasting under hard use.
your videos are the sauce! good content, camera work, editing and music!
My pops has a 77 spitfire we've been talking about turboing it. Pumped to see this done.
You guys are truly great mechanics! Can not wait to see the Triumph with RX1000 engine! Keep it up!!
The crazy steering angle, is why Colin Chapman used Triumph Herald/Spitfire steering gear on the Lotus 7.
i absolutely love it, miss my spitfires, always wanted to swap in a Miata engine but this goes above and beyond.
Wow you are talented you rarely see anyone who can make anything work no matter how big the challenge keep it up guys!!!!!
Love the builds! Can't wait to see how it performs when you finish!
A youtube engine swap that isnt a LS, not only that but probably what id call one the more unique engine swaps
The music is always so groovy and fitting to whatever is being shown. Your editing skills are amazing and keep getting better with every video. Keep up the great work!
I can't believe how quickly this is coming together! Can't wait to see more!
Man I’ve so been looking forward to seeing this build progress to this point, it’s always a pleasure to see your videos and of course the new additions to the workshop.
Serious skills. I'm always blown away how fast you bust out complex projects
Hell yeah been waiting for this you guys are insane lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥
1st 🤯🤯
havnt said this in a very long time but damn am i proud to say this is the best automotive building channel on youtube
I truly love your cad work! That's the exact same program I use lol
I love the turbo flutter, had it on my S14 too
Dylan Aerts i like s14s
Big Nigga Named Ross who doesn’t!
Can't wait for it to be done!
You're gonna wanna look into rear suspension mods as the earlier model Spitfires had problems with snap oversteer- esp with power added.
You guys have the best slow.mo shots on CZcams
So good! Also, I've had great luck cleaning and coating rusted fuel tanks with POR-15. Im sure you've got some good plans for a tank, but couldn't help saying something when I saw the tank chucked in the scrap pile 👍👍
Yeah, that bothered me too. I would have put a little effort into rehab for the original tank instead of trying to shoehorn a different one in.
it may have already come up, but now that you have that shaft fabbed, bringing/sending it to a driveline shop to have it made from a single piece might come in handy. great stuff as usual.
Easy fix for the reverse output shaft: Just flip the rear diff over. Problem solved.
The power to weight ratio 💥😱
Amazing as always! You guys deserve millions of subs!!! Ethans' creativity and execution are top notch!
You know its gonna be an epic video when theres an Ethan cam appearance!
Why can't you guys have a TV show?!? Awesome video. Now it will be a Real Spit Fire when that motor gets done
You could have made this three hours long and I would have had a smile the whole time
For an alternate way of shaft mod. try facing, beveling,drill and tapping both ends of the shafts , installing and small length of "ready rod " (all thread) and tighten before welding. I've had good results using grade 8 ready rod fine thread. Enjoyed your channel Immensely !! Keep up the GREAT Work!
I like that lead that thing is going to come in so handy can’t wait to see the car on the road👍👍👍
Amazing camera work in this (and all) videos!
Hay Grind Hard friends, on that lathe. Disengage the motor from the gearbox before starting the lathe to decrease wear and tear. That is what the black knob on top is for. Pull the black knob towards you to disengage the chuck, start motor, spin the chuck in the direction that it should be traveling by hand, and as soon as you release it re-engage the motor to the gearbox. You may run through a belt now and then but it will make the lathe last much longer.
“I’ve never made something so precise in my life” 👍👍👍🤘
You guys FAB skillz are bonkers!! Keep up the great work !!!
Congrats on the lathe! those things are SOO handy! You guys rock!
This formula is 100% perfection guys.
I get excited to see how much progress you let us all watch, on each video.
Please don’t change your style!
This works.
Although my lizard brain wants more in each upload.
I know I won’t be disappointed by the end.
I cannot wait till the next upload.
Keep it going GHPC! 👊🏻
If you muffle the engine a bit, you can really take somebody by surprise.
Would not mind taking those gauges off your hands
Awesome stuff guys. Was incredible seeing your builds at the OG500. Love the new music/aesthetic of this video!
You continue to impress!! Great vid, great skills and great imagination. You guys have what it takes to keep an audience interested. I'm a journeyman HET and machinist and I can relate and appreciate whats happening in your builds.
Great work is all I can say!! Keep it up!
I love this project so much! Can't wait to see the finished product! ✌
Should totally put tracks and skis on it for the winter
you guys are awesome huge fan, all the builds are crazy cool. excited to see how this triumph comes out
Amazing build and fab! Well done! Can't wait for next episode
I rather not sit in that when a belt burst 😐😐😐😐 but this is the most awesome build you guys startedvworking on. Hope to see it running
They are going to build an enclosure around that so it is contained when it happens.
Oh man, I can NOT wait to see this finished!! 🙌 What an EPIC rig this is gonna be!
The coolest build ever!!!! Can't wait for the next video!!
I really enjoyed the music at the beginning of the video for a change. Thanks for thinking of us old farts for at least part of the video. That triumph is going to rip.
you know that the triumph gearbox isn't going to take the extra power , but have you also considered the flimsy differential fitted to this antique ?.
ya, that rear diff will pop first application of anything but idle, but you know you have to do it. good thing you are skilled fabricators, fitting a new rear end should go smoothly.
v8 swaps are fairly common for these cars so it should be fine
@@MakerOfBeasts anyone who v8 swaps these cars should be ashamed
I think they're going for a Miata rear end.
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 anyone who expects the stock garbo 4 banger to do anything should be ashamed. people 3.8 v6 swap them all the time.
Fastest growing CZcams channel hands down 🤘🏼
Buying a spitfire 1500 tomorrow.
Saving this video
Great looking project build guys. Looks like it will be alot of fun to drive
Grind Hard Plumbing Co. is the type of you tube channel that will find the last digit of Pi.
Teacher:"What is CAD?"
Cardboard aided design! lol
Can't wait to see this rolling, always wanted to take the power plant from a Polaris rzr and drop into a vw bug 70s era
