**The Great Engine Swap**

We're about to embark on a thrilling adventure - swapping out the engine in our trusty old car for a shiny new one. The budget is set at $4,000, and we're determined to get this project done without breaking the bank. But as we begin, we realize that there's more to this swap than meets the eye.

As we prepare to get started, we take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our engine. We marvel at how it's managed to fuel through the engine when we don't need to, as the pistons come up and down, some of the fuel actually sitting on the side of the cylinder wall. This phenomenon is known as "washing the ball," and it's a crucial part of the engine's operation. However, with an engine swap, we need to make sure that this process doesn't get in the way.

One of our biggest concerns is running out of fuel when we don't need it. We've heard that some engines can run rich habitually, which means they're always getting more fuel than they actually need. This can lead to wasted fuel and potentially damage the engine over time. But with our new engine, we're hoping to avoid this problem altogether.

As we begin the swap, we take a moment to appreciate the sheer amount of work that's involved. We've got wires to untangle, oil filters to replace, and spark plugs to install - just to name a few. And let's not forget about the electrical connector, which is proving to be a bit of a problem. But we're determined to get this done, even if it means making a few adjustments along the way.

We've also taken the time to familiarize ourselves with our new engine. We've read up on the different types of oils and fluids that are suitable for this particular model, and we've got the right tools to make the job easier. Our first stop is the oil filter, which we replace with a high-quality Castrol Edge filter. This will ensure that our engine gets the best possible protection, even in the most demanding conditions.

Next up is the fuel pump, which we replace with a new one to prevent any potential issues down the line. We also make sure to install a new fuel filter, as old filters can harbor bacteria and other contaminants that can damage the engine over time. And finally, we swap out the oil for Castrol Edge, our chosen oil of choice.

As we work through each step of the process, we take a moment to appreciate the complexity of the engine management system. With so many different components working together in harmony, it's easy to see why this system is so finicky. But with practice and patience, we're confident that we'll be able to get it up and running in no time.

One thing we do notice as we work through this process is just how much wiring there is in the car. It seems like every other inch of space is filled with some kind of electrical connector or wire harness. But don't worry - our August is on hand to help us navigate this complex web of wires and ensure that everything is installed correctly.

As we near the end of the swap, we take a moment to inspect the cooling system. We're pleased to see that it's in good working order, but we do notice that it's a bit rusty. Rather than replacing the entire system, we decide to leave it as is - at least for now. After all, if the car doesn't start up properly, it'll be an easy fix to replace the cooling system altogether.

Finally, with all the major components installed and tested, we're ready to put the key in the ignition and see what happens. We take a deep breath, turn the key, and... voila! The engine roars back to life, complete with all-wheel drive and ethanol-only power. It's a moment of pure triumph, and we can't wait to get this baby on the road.

**Tips and Tricks**

As we go about our engine swap, we've picked up a few handy tips and tricks that might be useful to you. First, if you're in Australia, we recommend checking out Joe to oil condo - it's an awesome app that will help you find the right oils and fluids for your car.

Another quick tip is to use a funnel when pouring oil into the engine. It makes it much easier to get the oil in just the right place, without spilling a drop.

And finally, if you're planning on doing any DIY work on your car, make sure to take the time to understand how everything works together. It may seem overwhelming at first, but with practice and patience, you'll be a pro in no time.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enin this episode of Mighty Car Mods we are working on twisted which is going to be the ultimate Victor end of the machine that defeats two sexy wipes it off the face of the internet because after this wins it will be sold and today I have a special guest who's going to help me get this car to do some chop chop shopping welcome to another episode of mighty car mods in this episode of course it is time to get this car working it is yet to be driven apparently it did used to run because I've seen some video footage of it on the dyno around about 10 years ago a lot of time has passed until then now obviously Marty has been working with turbo Yoda on his - sexy project because this is meant to be a bit of master apprentice and today of course I have a master who's going to be working with me to help me get this car rolling now all the modifications are done as you can see it's already an Evo so it's already got the track credibility the street credibility but we do need to get it working so I've got a bunch of stuff over there on the bench that's going into the car so I think the next step is to introduce you to our master who's going to be working with me on the car today and then we'll give you a bit of a rundown on what we're gonna do so I'm very excited to introduce the master who's going to be working on this car with me he's an Evo aficionado he's even makes about 450 kilowatts at the wheels everybody without further ado it is time for tuning pork hey mate look really good welcome welcome - mm here it is I absolutely love it and it probably shows I suppose that I've been around the car scene for a while okay that very familiar with the shape yeah very familiar with the style I used to work at a bunch of the auto salons back in the day yep and here I mean let me give you a quick a quick look around just for the record by the way Marty reckons this cars worth around $1700 legitimately that's the number that he gave it it does have an Evo 3d JDM half cut on the front which I reckon by itself is probably worth four or five grand but your this is already set up like that yes yeah yeah today an Evo like one two three front cut he's definitely worth good money is definitely worth more than 1500 bucks yeah awesome well there it is the interior can you smell it it's like I'm aftershave sweat bodily fluids it's not pleather it's the real is it I thought it was a mixture of and snakeskin you can that's a real letter I think so it's smell like you know you don't get like on an old couch like at your grandma's house that yes smell that funny leathery smell mmm I thought that funny leathery smell was ejaculate this cuss probably saved a bit of that I would imagine because this was attractive back in the day so six bit cars obviously a cars where I mean I don't know if there is a definition but we could probably come up with one together it's kind of cars where there is bulk money put into the style of the car sometimes performance was part of it as well basically a car that was designed to hit up the show scene turn heads and drop pants one of the pre risk requisites for a 6-bit no tints yet no tints because everyone wanted to see the inside and that's why there's down lights all through the interior and I imagine that's because when it was sitting at Auto cell and you flick a switch and light up the interior but check it out there's down lights in the back yes in the door terms yes now I want to show you where that party starts though because this is where things get exciting this is something that you just do not see anymore and what I'm about to show you it also doesn't work but come and have a look at this look at that just feel feel feel feel wait wait oh it's crazy isn't it because look all the insides done as well a couple of lights there to point down at the subs and look at that dude there is a lot of money and time in this it's not wired for this head unit there's a different plug in there so what I think someone's done is taken the head unit out and dumped that one in there so for sale but we have to get the stereo working because for these series of challenges with too sexy one of them has to be a sound off without a radio no of course that looks similar to an ECU so I'm sure I can figure out some more in for that the ECU's down there the engineering documents are down there but let's just let's just get straight to business Scotty over here is where the real party is and this was the biggest surprise for me and that is that in here we've got 4g63 I'm confident that it's gonna work it just we just don't know yet while Marty has got more displacement this is a real like this is actually Valentin so this is Evo one two three I kept telling him this was a really vote yeah yeah this is well this is more real than easing back and even though it's not very real this is that factory turbo though it looks pretty little it is a baby but at the time this is said you can see it pruning across the front TV oh five yeah okay so that is a baby turbo that's gonna be our biggest limiting factor isn't it that will drag power other than that though these engines even today as long as we can put enough boost sensing they make heaps up out there fine there's nothing that we're really gonna need to touch okay how much power can you get through this conservatively like what can the engine make just this in if we put the look if this thing had the right to the bow on it are you more than happy to say it's gonna make 300 kilowatt to the wheels 240 makes that's Miyabi it's huge yeah see read like Evo 1 2 3 engines are really good and still really well sought up Wow so there's not that much I don't I think a good service just because it's sat around for so long yeah and I think it's six years I think from it's a little bit dubious the information that I'm getting but apparently a tow truck driver sold it to someone and then it's been sitting there for ages because I did just offer four grand I said for ground I'll send a tow truck to get it and they said yes we did it all via facebook messenger I never met that people don't know anything about them and I sent a truck and it just came back and the tow truck driver and then getting the story from him that he said the cars been sitting for about six years it'd be a bit of a tidy up it's got even stuff like the front man in the core has got all custom intercooler pipes it's got oh I can see the air flow meters down there in the intercooler pipe that was the old-school thing to do looks like some kind of interceptor style look a signal like an air flow meter converter admit we have spent a lot of money on everything else that's a a chromed factory exhaust manifold the paint on it is even how old it is it's surprisingly good and it's a full engine bay it's full in the doors that there we exactly we're two Sexy's not it's just a door shut respray so we're gonna win the paint off as well someone has spent bulk money on it the heaviest bonnet you can imagine fiberglass and I don't quite understand what what's going on here actually you know what it's just occurred to me maybe the bonnet was designed because this is not an accident that this is this shape maybe originally it had a kind of a bonnet on it where this was kind of part of the design but maybe they've just maybe this was meant to be a design feature and it didn't work so from the top they've just covered it in this because here you can't see the angles of those cutouts I don't Lee fast and furious one ish yes which I love I don't think that style is um you know that's so there it is I guess we just get to it and we will have it running today I'm confident of that for a car that's been sitting around for so long all sorts of things could be wrong with it so we're going to give it a complete service makeover and we're starting with the fuel pump as I M planning on running twisted on ethanol which means it'll lead a healthy supply of corn juice and I have no idea what's currently in the tank so now that we've got this open we can see a little inspection plate in here but the wiring on this it's only got two eyes and it's too small for a pump so this is more than likely the fuel sender right she's got to go up aboard tank off the tank I think so cool let's get it up the first step is jack up your car we don't have a hoist in our little shed but we do have these quick jacks which gets the car quickly and easily off the ground then we can slide in some jack stands and there's more surprises once we're underneath outta control so it's a battery it's a battery terminal tightened up around a bolt that's bolting it down you see yeah but why it's a bunch of ground strapping it doesn't go anywhere but it doesn't do anything maybe maybe it's the ground for the the South subdue for here's another one we definitely have some wiring work to do but I'm definitely keen to look F at that worries that this is ground right yeah or grounding yeah it's huge yeah but it's going no you know what it might be I'm wonder if they did something like back I don't know with that one is tied to you know what it is I know exactly what it is it's um it's to put a battery on the ground call that song also you stereo runs all day yeah so you put a subwoofer like you put your battery and a battery pack or yes like a 240 volt charger but also you can run your car and have your hood open without people saying that your car's charging yeah I mean it makes sense I get it I get it I don't get this this is nasty but what's the first song you would play the first song I would play is the the twisted by Team Evo which I'll show you because it's incredible if he's gonna shake the lid off it'll say it was designed for this car in fact it was produced for this car written about this car and produced specifically to test the stereo on this car I love it and it's available right now on iTunes twisted by team Evo and and it's designed to shake your pants right off under here 3 inch exhaust done quite tastefully a cannon of course that had to be done at the time it's like going back in time isn't it and you know this was an exciting time to be used in turbo cars though like I love the zero I loved it because at the time I was like I thought I was working I was at school and I was working at a mechanic shop after hours yeah and then on the weekends I used to work for mainline dinos strapping cars down at events yeah so seeing all of this we're at Newcastle Auto Salon - 2008 I was at just about every Auto Salon in that sort of era yeah if there was the mainline diner there I was living there was a mainline diner there so so it's possible that you dyno'd this car back in well not possible it's probable probable yeah so it turns out Scotty did Donna twisted back in 2008 and it made decent power 170 2.6 kilowatts at the wheels that's 231 horsepower and this was enough power to get it into the top ten of the front wheel drive leaderboard at Auto Salon never put this into perspective there were only three cars that year that made over 200 kilowatts at the front wheels a hundred Integra a CRX and then listen pulsar I'm pretty happy yep pushing towards you to get it yeah and now it's gonna go towards the back of the pan here we go what's your face didn't just get slightly hip yeah here we go oh there's a fuel pump up there beautiful all right you happy yep I'll just leave it there you good yeah I'm very clear and we're not gonna take any lines off this is perfect with the electrical connector unplugged all we need to do now is remove the hoses and then undo the four nuts holding the pump into the tank and yes there are meant to be five knots have I told you that this is my favorite tool yet perfect the job like this when you're in a confined space as well it's hard to get access with our mystery pump released from its fuel II cage now we can take it over to the workbench see what it is and then replace it with something new so it appears the car already has a wall row pump in it because someone was looking for the massive gains back in the day yeah so I don't know how old or new wood is so we don't know the history so it's worth changing but GSS 342 even today that's one of the pumps that you use is 255 litres an hour like that that will support the power this thing is going to make you're amazing yeah Justin you never know when you're pulling something apart but we don't know the history of it we may as well just replace it because we've already got one sitting here and just get on with it exactly it's one of the things that Martine often say it's like when you buy a car for the first time when you don't know the history you may as well to service it particularly in this case because it doesn't work you don't know if it doesn't work because of this because of this because of this you know and so this is just a way of um slowly divvying down and finding what the problem is while replacing it with something that you know is gonna work anyway and all this stuff if we're gonna to the dyno and get people to tune the car and do all that so it is expensive to go to the dyno for them to own a guitar your 150 roller fuel pump doesn't work or isn't up to scratch yeah exactly if you're thinking of running your car on ethanol you'll probably need to upgrade your pump injectors and also your lines but the great thing about this upgrade is this whole system will work fine with fuel straight from the pump as well so the good thing about doing this swap is that these connectors are actually standardized for this kind of pump which means it's really easy to change them out because we can literally just install this and plug it in now the way this works is this is literally sucking up fuel from the fuel tank it's going through the pump down here this is where it goes down to the fuel pressure regulator down to the fuel rail and anything that's not needed he's bled off and comes back down here on the return line which is not pressurized because that fuel comes back down it literally just drops back down into the tanks ready to be sucked up and used again so it's a pretty simple system and what's pretty amazing Scotty was saying as well is that these connectors are actually open and then you can see the connectors in there and that's sitting in a fuel tank so maybe they haven't changed it because they don't need to and if you don't need to then why change it so we're going to put this back together put this in the car then we're going to do some oils some spark plugs and stuff and the car will be running today with us with a stereo so there it is that's the finished thing new fuel pump is in there so that's ready to go back into the tank we put the tank back in and that is our first job of the day done one step closer to getting twisted twisting all four wheels again well that Scottie on your back under Lancer which is interesting because most people would have been on their back in the Lancer with our new performance fuel pump installed and the oil changed in our rear diff on our Evo now we can move to the front end so I'll rock-paper-scissors you for who gets to do the fuel filter and who gets to do the oil and whoever wins gets to choose I secretly know what I already wanted to say I secretly want to do one as well what are you under why don't we rock-paper-scissors and then whoever wins get to choose and we'll see if that's the thing that we secretly wanted to do anyway everybody one two three see I always do chopped if you ever play with me auto repair so so I wanted to do the oil onto the fuel okay that was the place to time then this is convenient all I was gonna quickly have a steering though because it's got the return line I can see the feeds that one yeah which comes through this one and amazingly there's a few early in the back I'm just sitting right there yeah and it's got some hose clamps and some of that remember this braided stuff this stuff it's like blingy braided stuff it doesn't do anything it's like a sheath that disguise over normal rubber hoses yeah okay to make it look like it's braids like I pimped my hose oh I found a boost like to sell what Google Paul oh wow they will there's some more power that we didn't know we could finger losing we could fix that one of the other things that I just noticed as well when we were tinkering with the hood see these weird holes and you think that seems bizarre that you would drill holes in you would like that it's for the battery to fit it sort of suits to make room for this terminal battery terminal we will get to the battery later but for now we have to try and work out the source of this mysterious smell so Scotty that doesn't smell like oil why why does the oil smell like petrol so yeah that's not awesome but it could be a bunch of reasons the main reason then probably the coolest one in a car like this that's got a factory computer some type of after marketing gel with different style of injectors weird air flow meter and air flow momentum mods and all this stuff the tuning it probably just isn't that great so a combination of that and cold starting it heats like if these things set around for 10 years and maybe the guys started at every now and then and start at few revs turn it off yeah basically what happens when the mode is cold the computer puts more fuel through it basic to make it richer so that it's cold starts faster idles easier so if you're putting a heap of fuel through the engine when you don't need to as the Pistons come up and down some of the fuel actually sits on the side of the cylinder wall yeah and we would call it's called washing the ball so what it does is as the piston comes down its it pulls that scrape down and down to do oil yeah yeah so sometime it engines with heaps of where have it your engines that are running really rich habit okay we can you can smell that's pretty fueling so what I mean it's possible this is just blown I mean I was sure that it worked and like I said I saw a video of it working so but I mean can you trust the internet when you're buying a car like this for four grand for four grand whatever it is for four green it's a good buy whatever it is so we'll change the oil trying to make me feel better lovely guys it's trying to make me feel better but the reality is we like we don't even know if it works cuz we're living life on dangerously we're gonna Dorval work and then we're just gonna turn the key and it's gonna start and do all wheel drive Skeets is we're gonna start on ethanol only that I feel like we should just straight up just get into it and then we do have we do have ethanol over there what will it run on ethanol even though it has no ethanol turn we'll make it round we'll just make it work I'm pretty keen to just kind of just get it done and I just want to get this done get the servicing part done get some breaks so it's comfortable in it and it is a bit safer and then get to the good let's just do it then look less talk let's cue the music oh and just a montage away all right braided sheathing off alright getting you're getting the oil fuel kick the turns let's get so we're putting Castrol Edge into twisted because it's the strength and maximum performance and as you can see this car is all about the performance now actually here's a handy tip if you want to know what oils and stuff to put in your car and you're in Australia you can go read Joe to oil condo to you and it'll come up basically with this awesome little app that Castro made you put your red Joe in you stayed in and then go click the right oil and it'll come up with all the different fluids and stuff you need they're exactly right for your car now because this is an engine swap it's not going to work for this but we know that this is the right stuff because this is for maximum performance and another quick tip when you're pouring your oil in this way if you put it in this way it's got a little air channel and it'll make sure that the oil goes in way easier if you hold it up like this with your funnel of course okay so we are making progress with twisted we've done the fuel pump we've done the fuel filter we've done the oil filter we've done the oil next up I've got to do the battery and do the spark plugs eventually we are gonna have to do injectors write ethanol it's just the ones that I got are not the right ones we will so just the top so we need one that's got a forty Muller instead of eleven yep and we've just got the wrong electrical connector so to get something happening today see everything's wrong don't be polite I got the wrong there there all night so we're we're gonna change them but they're not gonna get in the way of actually making the car work today unless there's something wrong with it but we're gonna work it out I think so so all I want to do is have a quick look through all this so much wiring in it just one other quick look through because of the hectic stereo that's why there's so much wiring that's good so more the engine management part of it August is my specialty so I'll just go through all make sure sort of the that's gonna work yeah and that we don't have any there's a lot of weird power wiring in this car so I just want to make sure it sort of looks right yeah yeah cool to see it rub the other thing as well is that we were about to do our the cooler but potentially have a look in there it's super rusty and possibly it might just heat up and leak so rather than leaking Colin out we'll just leave what's in there because there is water of some kind in there a little liquid went through this car probably but we're gonna leave that in there if the car if we can get working and we can't get it running then that's an easy enough thing to change so for now spark plugs battery ECU management and then we and then we've turning the key hopefully hopefully next time on Mighty Car Modsin this episode of Mighty Car Mods we are working on twisted which is going to be the ultimate Victor end of the machine that defeats two sexy wipes it off the face of the internet because after this wins it will be sold and today I have a special guest who's going to help me get this car to do some chop chop shopping welcome to another episode of mighty car mods in this episode of course it is time to get this car working it is yet to be driven apparently it did used to run because I've seen some video

pump as I M planning on running twisted on ethanol which means it'll lead a healthy supply of corn juice and I have no idea what's currently in the tank so now that we've got this open we can see a little inspection plate in here but the wiring on this it's only got two eyes and it's too small for a pump so this is more than likely the fuel sender right she's got to go up aboard tank off the tank I think so cool let's get it up the first step is jack up your car we don't have a hoist in our little shed but we do have these quick jacks which gets the car quickly and easily off the ground then we can slide in some jack stands and there's more surprises once we're underneath outta control so it's a battery it's a battery terminal tightened up around a bolt that's bolting it down you see yeah but why it's a bunch of ground strapping it doesn't go anywhere but it doesn't do anything maybe maybe it's the ground for the the South subdue for here's another one we definitely have some wiring work to do but I'm definitely keen to look F at that worries that this is ground right yeah or grounding yeah it's huge yeah but it's going no you know what it might be I'm wonder if they did something like back I don't know with that one is tied to you know what it is I know exactly what it is it's um it's to put a battery on the ground call that song also you stereo runs all day yeah so you put a subwoofer like you put your battery and a battery pack or yes like a 240 volt charger but also you can run your car and have your hood open without people saying that your car's charging yeah I mean it makes sense I get it I get it I don't get this this is nasty but what's the first song you would play the first song I would play is the the twisted by Team Evo which I'll show you because it's incredible if he's gonna shake the lid off it'll say it was designed for this car in fact it was produced for this car written about this car and produced specifically to test the stereo on this car I love it and it's available right now on iTunes twisted by team Evo and and it's designed to shake your pants right off under here 3 inch exhaust done quite tastefully a cannon of course that had to be done at the time it's like going back in time isn't it and you know this was an exciting time to be used in turbo cars though like I love the zero I loved it because at the time I was like I thought I was working I was at school and I was working at a mechanic shop after hours yeah and then on the weekends I used to work for mainline dinos strapping cars down at events yeah so seeing all of this we're at Newcastle Auto Salon - 2008 I was at just about every Auto Salon in that sort of era yeah if there was the mainline diner there I was living there was a mainline diner there so so it's possible that you dyno'd this car back in well not possible it's probable probable yeah so it turns out Scotty did Donna twisted back in 2008 and it made decent power 170 2.6 kilowatts at the wheels that's 231 horsepower and this was enough power to get it into the top ten of the front wheel drive leaderboard at Auto Salon never put this into perspective there were only three cars that year that made over 200 kilowatts at the front wheels a hundred Integra a CRX and then listen pulsar I'm pretty happy yep pushing towards you to get it yeah and now it's gonna go towards the back of the pan here we go what's your face didn't just get slightly hip yeah here we go oh there's a fuel pump up there beautiful all right you happy yep I'll just leave it there you good yeah I'm very clear and we're not gonna take any lines off this is perfect with the electrical connector unplugged all we need to do now is remove the hoses and then undo the four nuts holding the pump into the tank and yes there are meant to be five knots have I told you that this is my favorite tool yet perfect the job like this when you're in a confined space as well it's hard to get access with our mystery pump released from its fuel II cage now we can take it over to the workbench see what it is and then replace it with something new so it appears the car already has a wall row pump in it because someone was looking for the massive gains back in the day yeah so I don't know how old or new wood is so we don't know the history so it's worth changing but GSS 342 even today that's one of the pumps that you use is 255 litres an hour like that that will support the power this thing is going to make you're amazing yeah Justin you never know when you're pulling something apart but we don't know the history of it we may as well just replace it because we've already got one sitting here and just get on with it exactly it's one of the things that Martine often say it's like when you buy a car for the first time when you don't know the history you may as well to service it particularly in this case because it doesn't work you don't know if it doesn't work because of this because of this because of this you know and so this is just a way of um slowly divvying down and finding what the problem is while replacing it with something that you know is gonna work anyway and all this stuff if we're gonna to the dyno and get people to tune the car and do all that so it is expensive to go to the dyno for them to own a guitar your 150 roller fuel pump doesn't work or isn't up to scratch yeah exactly if you're thinking of running your car on ethanol you'll probably need to upgrade your pump injectors and also your lines but the great thing about this upgrade is this whole system will work fine with fuel straight from the pump as well so the good thing about doing this swap is that these connectors are actually standardized for this kind of pump which means it's really easy to change them out because we can literally just install this and plug it in now the way this works is this is literally sucking up fuel from the fuel tank it's going through the pump down here this is where it goes down to the fuel pressure regulator down to the fuel rail and anything that's not needed he's bled off and comes back down here on the return line which is not pressurized because that fuel comes back down it literally just drops back down into the tanks ready to be sucked up and used again so it's a pretty simple system and what's pretty amazing Scotty was saying as well is that these connectors are actually open and then you can see the connectors in there and that's sitting in a fuel tank so maybe they haven't changed it because they don't need to and if you don't need to then why change it so we're going to put this back together put this in the car then we're going to do some oils some spark plugs and stuff and the car will be running today with us with a stereo so there it is that's the finished thing new fuel pump is in there so that's ready to go back into the tank we put the tank back in and that is our first job of the day done one step closer to getting twisted twisting all four wheels again well that Scottie on your back under Lancer which is interesting because most people would have been on their back in the Lancer with our new performance fuel pump installed and the oil changed in our rear diff on our Evo now we can move to the front end so I'll rock-paper-scissors you for who gets to do the fuel filter and who gets to do the oil and whoever wins gets to choose I secretly know what I already wanted to say I secretly want to do one as well what are you under why don't we rock-paper-scissors and then whoever wins get to choose and we'll see if that's the thing that we secretly wanted to do anyway everybody one two three see I always do chopped if you ever play with me auto repair so so I wanted to do the oil onto the fuel okay that was the place to time then this is convenient all I was gonna quickly have a steering though because it's got the return line I can see the feeds that one yeah which comes through this one and amazingly there's a few early in the back I'm just sitting right there yeah and it's got some hose clamps and some of that remember this braided stuff this stuff it's like blingy braided stuff it doesn't do anything it's like a sheath that disguise over normal rubber hoses yeah okay to make it look like it's braids like I pimped my hose oh I found a boost like to sell what Google Paul oh wow they will there's some more power that we didn't know we could finger losing we could fix that one of the other things that I just noticed as well when we were tinkering with the hood see these weird holes and you think that seems bizarre that you would drill holes in you would like that it's for the battery to fit it sort of suits to make room for this terminal battery terminal we will get to the battery later but for now we have to try and work out the source of this mysterious smell so Scotty that doesn't smell like oil why why does the oil smell like petrol so yeah that's not awesome but it could be a bunch of reasons the main reason then probably the coolest one in a car like this that's got a factory computer some type of after marketing gel with different style of injectors weird air flow meter and air flow momentum mods and all this stuff the tuning it probably just isn't that great so a combination of that and cold starting it heats like if these things set around for 10 years and maybe the guys started at every now and then and start at few revs turn it off yeah basically what happens when the mode is cold the computer puts more fuel through it basic to make it richer so that it's cold starts faster idles easier so if you're putting a heap of fuel through the engine when you don't need to as the Pistons come up and down some of the fuel actually sits on the side of the cylinder wall yeah and we would call it's called washing the ball so what it does is as the piston comes down its it pulls that scrape down and down to do oil yeah yeah so sometime it engines with heaps of where have it your engines that are running really rich habit okay we can you can smell that's pretty fueling so what I mean it's possible this is just blown I mean I was sure that it worked and like I said I saw a video of it working so but I mean can you trust the internet when you're buying a car like this for four grand for four grand whatever it is for four green it's a good buy whatever it is so we'll change the oil trying to make me feel better lovely guys it's trying to make me feel better but the reality is we like we don't even know if it works cuz we're living life on dangerously we're gonna Dorval work and then we're just gonna turn the key and it's gonna start and do all wheel drive Skeets is we're gonna start on ethanol only that I feel like we should just straight up just get into it and then we do have we do have ethanol over there what will it run on ethanol even though it has no ethanol turn we'll make it round we'll just make it work I'm pretty keen to just kind of just get it done and I just want to get this done get the servicing part done get some breaks so it's comfortable in it and it is a bit safer and then get to the good let's just do it then look less talk let's cue the music oh and just a montage away all right braided sheathing off alright getting you're getting the oil fuel kick the turns let's get so we're putting Castrol Edge into twisted because it's the strength and maximum performance and as you can see this car is all about the performance now actually here's a handy tip if you want to know what oils and stuff to put in your car and you're in Australia you can go read Joe to oil condo to you and it'll come up basically with this awesome little app that Castro made you put your red Joe in you stayed in and then go click the right oil and it'll come up with all the different fluids and stuff you need they're exactly right for your car now because this is an engine swap it's not going to work for this but we know that this is the right stuff because this is for maximum performance and another quick tip when you're pouring your oil in this way if you put it in this way it's got a little air channel and it'll make sure that the oil goes in way easier if you hold it up like this with your funnel of course okay so we are making progress with twisted we've done the fuel pump we've done the fuel filter we've done the oil filter we've done the oil next up I've got to do the battery and do the spark plugs eventually we are gonna have to do injectors write ethanol it's just the ones that I got are not the right ones we will so just the top so we need one that's got a forty Muller instead of eleven yep and we've just got the wrong electrical connector so to get something happening today see everything's wrong don't be polite I got the wrong there there all night so we're we're gonna change them but they're not gonna get in the way of actually making the car work today unless there's something wrong with it but we're gonna work it out I think so so all I want to do is have a quick look through all this so much wiring in it just one other quick look through because of the hectic stereo that's why there's so much wiring that's good so more the engine management part of it August is my specialty so I'll just go through all make sure sort of the that's gonna work yeah and that we don't have any there's a lot of weird power wiring in this car so I just want to make sure it sort of looks right yeah yeah cool to see it rub the other thing as well is that we were about to do our the cooler but potentially have a look in there it's super rusty and possibly it might just heat up and leak so rather than leaking Colin out we'll just leave what's in there because there is water of some kind in there a little liquid went through this car probably but we're gonna leave that in there if the car if we can get working and we can't get it running then that's an easy enough thing to change so for now spark plugs battery ECU management and then we and then we've turning the key hopefully hopefully next time on Mighty Car Mods\n"
