(upbeat music)
- Looks like we got about 60 degrees of steering angle,
which is super awesome.
Our pro-cars, just to give you some reference,
only have about 65, and usually only about 60 degrees
of usable steering angles,
so this is pretty insane and right on par.
- [Chris Forsberg] Oh my god.
- Freaking styling, dude.
That's going to be some good angle.
- Yeah, it is. (laughs)
Oh, my god. It's not even two full turns lock to lock.
- I mean, this thing's going to be a go-kart, dude.
- Yeah. - Yeah
- 'Cause it's like - It's going to be like-
- It's going to be like Kristoff's, dude.
- Oh, that one's loose. That one's loose too.
I don't know if you know this, but,
impact gun's usually impact.
- Pulling the trans apart because it definitely
does not have a spool or like mechanical style diff.
It has a helical or a torsion style, which means that with
the force of the engine,
its putting it through both rear wheels,
but if you pull up on one side of that double hand break,
it will lock the one wheel
and still allow the other to spin.
For drifting we want them both to spin at the same rate,
so we're going to dive in there,
see if we can lock this thing up,
or replace it all together with a spool.
- Uh-huh, as I suspected,
crap.
- We got the diff out, it looks very weird,
its not really open, (screw bolts tightening)
it’s not mechanical by any means.
(metallic hammering)
(laughter) Ouch.
Yo look at this thing.
- [Jimmie Caldwell] Its a little boy diff.
(laughter)
Its the littlest little boy.
- Its so weird.
- Did you just stick the welder in that hole,
- Yeah, - And fill her up?
- That is what we do.
(laughter)
This just in, we're going to weld this thing.
(electrical crackling)
(funky R&B)
- [Ryan Tuerck] That's a nice weld job dude.
- Oh thanks man, its my finest work,
welding the inside of dirty, oily diffs.
(laughter)
This things going to be all locked up.
- [Ryan Tuerck] She melted.
- [Chris Forsberg] Pretty sure
we know what we're doing here.
- Nice and really - There it is
There it is. Boom.
- Just got to hump it a little bit.
- All right dude, we know you know how to do that.
- Give it a good thrust.
- Onwards and upwards to tomorrow,
we're going to order some more parts,
and hopefully they show up on time,
and we're going to slap this thing together,
and go shreddin'
- See you tomorrow. - Where's the 10?
- See you tomorrow! - I don't know.
- Oh you got it.
(laughter)
(metallic rolling sound)
- Figure out the turbo, or what.
- Lets figure it out.
- Adios muchacho.
- Cause this is going to be big boy.
(laughter)
So that's big. - Big boy.
Its bigger than a friggin' regular exhaust tubing, dude.
- Oh my god.
So this is our new Turbo Smart, 60mm powergate,
we got hypergates on our cars man.
This is where all the power lies.
(laughter)
The turbo doesn't actually change,
its this valve that changes that changes the speed,
in which the turbo spins based on the amount of pressure
it allows to be in the exhaust manifold.
The bigger the gate, the more control you have,
because you can bleed off more exhaust.
If you have a small gate, you're not getting enough out
and the turbo over spools
and makes to much boost pressure,
so we're going to cut the old waste gate off
and then open that hole up to a larger diameter.
This thing is - Huge!
- Enormous
(laughter)
This vehicle has a lot of dated parts on it,
but this is the new Garret GTX,
its the 30-71, its a little small for this thing,
but we do want fast response,
but since it is a little small,
that's why we went with the extra large Wastegate.
This things going to spool up super fast,
its got built compressor wheel
verses this old style.
This one is a journal baring, this one's a ball baring.
Just so many cool parts about this,
that make it way better flowing.
This thing, this is the bee's knees,
about as good as it gets, so.
That thing, dumpster.
- Out!
(heavy rock music)
- [Ryan Tuerck] This bad boy up.
(grunts)
- Its going to make so much noise.
All right, we got all the shocks off of this thing,
and one of the most important aspects of this car
is to get it sittin' on the ground,
much stiffer, so we have control over it.
So we're pulling these old, progressive springs off,
and we got some new, shorter, stiffer springs from Eibach
that we're going to slide on to these coil overs,
and get this thing to sit a lot lower, have more control,
and its overall going to be a better ride for the drift.
Nice part about these air shocks
we can really give it the extra pressure if we need too,
like a little bit back in here is going to be perfect.
