Turbo Kit Installed On The K24 Swapped Mr2!

The Art of Cleaning and Restoring Cars

As I sat down to start my day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. The cluttered workspace, the old tabs scattered everywhere, it was like a time capsule had been unleashed before my very eyes. My hands moved with a renewed sense of purpose as I began to clear away the junk, sorting through each item with a critical eye. This was a ritual I performed regularly, one that never failed to invigorate me and leave me feeling refreshed.

With every tab I cut off, the space seemed to grow cleaner, more organized. It was like a weight had been lifted, allowing me to focus on the task at hand. The process was meditative, each movement deliberate and calculated. My hands moved with a newfound sense of purpose, as if driven by an inner force that guided them towards a state of perfection.

As I worked, my mind began to wander to other projects, ones that required my attention and expertise. The route was one such endeavor, a massive undertaking that had been weighing on me for some time. It was a car, a beautiful machine that needed care and attention, and I was determined to bring it back from the brink of disaster.

I remembered the video I had created earlier, one that promised a transmission fix if I reached 20,000 likes. The goal had seemed like a distant dream, but now it felt within reach. My fingers moved with renewed energy as I worked on the route, each passing moment bringing me closer to my target.

The weather outside was bitterly cold, the roads treacherous and slick. But I didn't let that deter me, no sir. I had a job to do, and I would see it through to the end. The icy grip of winter seemed to fade into the background as I worked, replaced by a sense of focus and determination.

As the hours ticked by, I found myself drawn into a world of motorsports, one that was about speed and power and precision. The World Cup Finals, held in Maryland, was just around the corner, and I couldn't wait to get there. It was a gathering of the finest Honda enthusiasts, all united in their love for the fastest machines on four wheels.

And then, of course, there was SEMA, the world's largest automotive event, taking place in Las Vegas. I wasn't entirely sure if we would be attending, but with Cletus in Cars as our deadline to work on the white mr2, it seemed like a certainty. The car needed a handbrake and seatbelts, caged finished, before it was ready for its first show.

I glanced around at the cluttered workshop, the old tools and equipment scattered about. It was a mess, but I knew exactly where everything was. My fingers moved with ease as I reached for the tools I needed, each one familiar to me like an old friend.

As I worked on the mr2, my mind began to wander to the SEMA show. The event was a behemoth of its own, a showcase of the world's most incredible cars and machines. It was a place where dreams came true, where the boundaries of what was possible were pushed to the limit.

And then there was Cletus in Cars, our deadline looming like a specter on the horizon. We had to get it done, no matter what. The pressure was on, but I was ready for it. Bring it on, I thought, as I applied a coat of wax to the mr2's gleaming surface.

The hours ticked by, each one passing with agonizing slowness. But I knew that when we finally left the shop, it would be worth it. The thrill of creation, the rush of adrenaline, it was all just a step away. And as I looked around at the cluttered workshop, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. This was my domain, my kingdom, and I ruled over it with an iron fist.

The world outside was cold and unforgiving, but in here, we were warm and cozy. The tools and equipment lay before me like a treasure trove, waiting to be wielded. And as I worked on the mr2, I knew that I was exactly where I belonged.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys right now I'm getting ready to take the Odyssey to the shop I'm actually stopping by the tire shop before I head over there to get these radials mounted up for the mr2 as you can see we got some snow last night it is pretty bad I could definitely take my truck you know that's four-wheel drive would make way more sense but I'm actually taking the Odyssey for reasons I am NOT going to yet disclose but well my story short I got this thing fired up last night let it warm up drove it around filled it up with gas and then we just got hit with a blizzard this morning and I'm just getting ready to wipe the windshield off let this thing warm up again and we'll head over to the shop so I'm gonna have to take it pretty easy the roads are really bad and this thing does suck in the snow only being front-wheel drive and the tires are pretty bald but Hayden actually just got over here and he told me that the streets outside the neighborhood aren't too bad so yeah I'm gonna go ahead and get this thing fired up hopefully you guys can hear me pretty good I am just gonna rock the GoPro my head right now because I don't have my other camera and it is way too cold to even try to mess with any of that so yeah as far as icing up real quick it's been a minute guys everyone's waiting to see the route I see just like that fires right up you have any gloves do you hate him he's our winter gloves but they'll help look pretty warm actually two steps no words so something else I found out last night is that this thing had nothing but Street water in the motor so all the coolant lines were completely frozen and I spent about two hours thawing this thing out last night I did get the motor to fire up and then I was just pouring warm water into the radiator to kind of free everything up and the whole cooling system as far as the radiator and engine goes is great everything's working fine it's not getting too hot right now but the only thing is the heater core has not yet unfroze so I have no heater inside here right now so this kind of sucks but we'll manage oh it is so cold in here my breath all right so the roads are definitely still really bad out here too but we're already this far oh dang oh my gosh guys this is a bad idea bad idea I can't see anything my defroster is ain't working it's about negative five in here oh we made a gas what a journey that was B the rear ones are but the Front's shouldn't matter okay and then you want white out or black it oh oh blackout blackout Oh mister yeah cool and then I just pick them up later I'm gonna call you yeah that's fun same phone number yep cool we'll get her to do thank you well flouring good now we just gotta make it to the shop guys the roads are so bad I'm about to get onto a highway though so see how this goes it looks like the highway is not too bad so at least not too good still Mary I see guys I'm have been freezing my balls off in this fan but the heater Court just finally he thought I have sheet coming through and we are we are good to go now holy crap it was so cold in here but we still got you know another 15 minutes till the shop but man that feels so nice I thought I was going to die whoa we made it oh we're out of sea making it through the blizzard damn look at that poor look at the poor s14 guys I forgot to roll the windows up oops here hold this right here yeah cut out and see if we can blow the snow out oh yeah it's getting deep it's coming down good if it aint sketch it ain't fun though cut out yeah there you go yeah that's how you deal with the snow yeah I blew some snow out it feel like quiet with the exhaust open because it all it snows muffling it holy that's the snow I thought you oh yeah listen to that it sounds so cool check this out got some rad snow step hey that's all right she's here though she's beautiful and I didn't even hug her you did wasn't working I'm feel like I just got here oh man I had like 15 minutes left foot it was frozen the whole time so finally thought out and I felt that she'd come through my all thank goodness I was freezing in there we're how to stop at the gas station on the magnet my fever frozen oh my goodness I just take a break Oh at least you made it yeah it was digging like see all that a dugout yeah it's like a mood yes it's awesome what's up guys just made it to the shot as you can see I drove the Odyssey over here through a blizzard because we got hit pretty hard this morning with a whole bunch of snow and Roman has made it down as well I don't think Emilio's gonna make it today because of how bad the weather is but yeah I'm gonna be leaving The Odyssey here I literally picked the worst day to bring it over but it made it it was fun and we are gonna be doing stuff to the Odyssey in the near future but that's not one to say about that for right now but I just brought it over here because I want to you know start looking at things on it and I know you guys want to see that thing they could come back so I am bringing it over here to get the ball rolling on that right now we're getting ready to fire up the red mr2 we got the starter figured out that's good to go we also got a fuel pressure regulator on there so that's all plumbed in just got to get this tight just went off this existing stud on the firewall that just needs a nut and get that guy in place and then we did add a que tuned fuel rail to it our custom booster boys won I think this is our last one but we got a legit fuel rail on there now and that has a return coming off of the regulator right there so we can actually regulate the pressure because before we had the stock RSX rail on there and that has no return for regulating the fuel pressure it's just all the pressure from the pump going straight to the rail and Brent said that our injectors probably weren't even opening because it probably had way too much pressure on the top of them so now we have the regulator on there we got it set to like 50 55 psi and we got everything plugged back in got power to the ECU right now we just got to plug the fuel pump in and we're gonna see if she will fire up this time what do you think well yeah I change exercise down six yeah yeah nice well she's alive yep they're all wired up yeah yeah it starts yeah mine just starts it off fluids yeah electrical on point solid ground saw switch power and I saw it switch part of the poem is good yeah that's super easy yeah alright we just got the mr2 fired up and it sounds like it's running pretty good just wanted to do that to make sure everything's like good with this motor since we did get it used in stuff so I just want to make sure that it was running okay and it didn't have a knock or nothing like that but sounds pretty good so we went ahead and got this thing up into the air and we just drained the oil out of it and we're getting ready to pull the pan off so I can weld this - ten and bond to it the k-series has a little bit of a lien in the car that's just how they sit they kind of tilt back this way and the oil level is actually pretty high up on this backside right here and especially when you accelerate all that oil is going to slosh back I'm going to do this one very similar to how I did the white mr2 on the white when I did a - 12 bong on the side right here for the twins so I'm going to be doing the - 10 right here as high up as I can as far forward as I can but to where it doesn't hit the crank pulley right here because on the old setup I think I had some issues with the turbo smoking because I think that oil was starting to back up into the turbo and it didn't have enough flow coming out of it it was either that or the motor was just bad and needed like me valve seals or something but either way I do like how I did the other ones I'm going to put this one right here on the side and then we can go ahead and get our manifold and turbo back on there and get a drain made and then we already took off the factory oil pressure sensor that goes right there and we put on a dash for fitting for a feed line that's just like a British eighth inch NPT thread on the Honda block - - for fitting out there and we already got our line so we're ready to go so he's got to get this pan off and get the bung welded on and get our lines ran well I did get new gloves from our friend JT that we met in the last video but since I didn't drive the truck today he loves her in the truck it's going well the inside of it yeah just about the inside so look nice and clean on the outside yan'er done it's been a while since this thing ran long but Brent's been motivated to get the bully up and going getting closer yeah yeah got his harness today this opened up know will sell moved out the turbos where we want that way you just cutting off for that old fuel cell bracket was yeah it's gone making room yeah turbos probably mice living in here yeah we're good he's definitely up my shoes oh it's JDM yeah we're good oh yeah we're good it's gonna make a lot of power the JDM sport sick for those of you who don't know this is the intercooler I mean for the white mr2 back when I first case flopped it Brantly hop this river breeze I found it on the very top shelf with one of his like shelves at Philips shop it's been you know seen better days but it works good doesn't leak I already cut the mounts that I made off of it it folds up to the factory exhaust hangers on the mr2 so right up and then this is all plums all ready for the turbo man up at IHOP because her husband goes right into this silicon how coupler right here and then I already have the pipe come off of there to go to the throttle body with the ball valve so it's already ready to go so these your first welds yeah those are some of the first Kyle aluminum welds ever you've come a long way like yeah at first these are actually these are my second intercooler pipes I ever made because I did my hatch first and then these tabs my cut does everything though these are my first Pike cut attack that's cool sometimes go oh yeah look at that inch Jim that's all I need to cut the ends off completely look that's a piece of a hole saw it works so I'm gonna go ahead and mount this up since we got the car up in the air we just got the oil pan back on now this would be good just to play around with you that fit sure perfect and PyCon it's over the crossmember mm-hmm legit made her back in the day and she still lines up like the day I made she's good to go you know you guys like our temporary ground right here no from the training to our bolt right there so all I know you guys are gonna be like that's gonna stay on there forever but you know what it's not weight but it does work pretty good right now yeah we just got the turbo re clocked because our drain was like sticking up from the previous setup when it was on hon drew so we had to read clock the feed to be sticking up and the drain to go down that's getting this back on there all right we got the turbo all bolted up everything is clocked where it needs to be we got this oil feed on right here that just taps off the factory oil pressure sensor just 90s right there goes underneath runs nice and clean that's good we have a waste gate on there just to block that hole for right now also got this charge pipe on this is one that I already fab back when I originally did the turbo kit for the white mr2 has a HKS blow-off valve on there this goes into our throttle body there and then that routes under to the intake that's under the trunk I mean the intercooler that's under the trunk and turbos into the coupler right there we just need clamps on all that stuff and that's all good to go we do have oil return as well the only thing we're missing right now at least you know to be able to fire it up again if we wanted to is an exhaust because right now it's just coming straight out the turbo and I do want to try to fire this up this one last time before we head out with the oil going to the turbo and everything but I don't want to blow a whole bunch of sit all over the inside of the engine bay here I thought we still had the original dump that came off of that they came straight up we could at least fire it up on but don't know where that's at so I'm just gonna wait until I can run any exhaust down and out the back of the car because I don't want to rerun that one that came up here because it got a whole bunch of exhaust so over everything after I would drive it for a while so obviously I don't want to get the paint job all gummed up with that stuff we also found the vacuum leak on the intake so that should be good to go but yeah we are calling it there for tonight we got a whole bunch done oil returns all via that bungs welded hands all back on so now we just need to focus on getting everything wired correctly clean it up because I'm really not happy with the stock harness right now because of how messy all this stuff is I definitely want to tuck that and make it look really nice and clean like the rest of the car is I need to get like an EGR delete your a tab all that stuff and then mount the regulator more you know firmly getting enough for that so there's still a lot that needs to get done we also kind of have shaft I already have the axles ready to go in whenever we're ready for those so that won't be an issue but she is really close and it is running so yeah we're just about ready to go on the mr2 I think it only needs a couple solid days of work before we can actually drive this thing around and then yeah that will be that and then I do plan on redoing the turbo kit here very soon Hayden's gonna help me out with that probably as well I want to do like water to air on this thing eventually and just make it a really nice clean daily because right now I know this is kind of roughed up but it will get us by for right now so that's where we're at on the mr2 we're calling it there for tonight on that what happened it was all together a second ago what is this I change it change some plans well not change the plans just step back to the full cutting off all your tabs down little tabs all the old little junk everywhere just to make Jasper clean you know ya did it with your hands yeah getting in there yeah and knock it out and get the hotel looks a lot cleaner now honestly with all those tabs cut off it's just gonna look really good it's actually really clean yeah yeah it didn't look so clutter he honestly even us with nothing in here still closed everything out it was like all these extra tabs amounts you didn't need yeah now getting rid of all that stuff oh yes this is the last time it's getting set up it's this time it's gonna work so I might as well if he's dive in and make it right yeah I don't see this thing go so does everyone else they've been waiting time that's sweet though yeah she'll get there showing up all day just solid oh they're just welded together it's so cold out that's what I was trying to do when I kicked it try to shout it ISIL yeah oh there it goes we got dually slicks name though the drift tires just slide around yep guys it is a cold one out yeah slicks off my hatch I left him outside by accident look at that sheet of ice around him look at that it's like a quarter inch thick all the way around oh yeah so I had to bring the route of C to a shop we could bring it inside because it's been outside in my driveway she's been getting cold any of the cars that have just water and I'm we got a drain and put some pooling in them yeah if they're gonna stay outside and here they're okay cuz we got the heater book yeah poor thing look just from a couple hours already has icicles hanging off it you take care attention oh yeah boost weather yeah and close to that Grinch may have enough room to parachute on oh yeah we're good she's long we definitely got hit with some really bad weather last night and all today has actually just been freezing but made it over here with the route I see the roads were completely screwed so it's amazing it made it no problem at all though that was quite the adventure but yeah I know you guys want to see more stuff on the route to see and that's part of the reason why I got it over here I remember the video I did a while back when I said like this video if you get to 20,000 likes I'll get the transmission fixed but still facing issues with that and all I'm gonna say right now his content is coming it's just gonna be a little bit so be patient throughout as he's coming back and yeah it definitely would've been nice if it was like all-wheel-drive to get it over here because that sucked being front-wheel drive yeah it's gonna thaw out on here get all the snow off of it and it will be ready to go one other thing I wanted to mention is we are going to be going to the import verse domestic World Cup finals that is in Maryland if you guys know what that is you already know what it's about so we're gonna be there we're flying out tomorrow about four o'clock and we're gonna be spending the whole weekend out there so I'm probably gonna be blogging what's going on down there it is really cool it's literally the world's fastest Honda's are out there they're getting crazy with the all-wheel drive stuff and there's probably going to be multiple records set we're just gonna have a good time down there so probably it's gonna show what's going on down there while we're out there so I hope you guys will enjoy the upcoming content for that so yeah we're gonna be taking a break from the shop here for a few days and then there's also a chance we might be going to SEMA I'm not going to say 100% sure but at this point I'm saying most likely we are also going to be filling the SEMA which is in Vegas right after this event so not a hundred percent sure on that but we'd really like to because we're just on a really tight schedule because I also have to get the white mr2 ready for cleaning cars to make its first pass down there and all it needs is the handbrake and seatbelts and caged finished and pretty much that's it I already got the tires dropped off today to get mounted my name so and then turn it up and then he'll be ready to go but yeah so we're on a time crunch cuz Cletus in cars is November 23rd we're gonna be gone for a week for World Cup then we might be gone for a couple days for SEMA so yeah we're just going with the flow so that's pretty much it for today guys so hope you guys enjoy the video regardless and thanks for watching\n"
