- Опубликовано: 12 мар 2022
- Episode 189 of Mike Finnegan's Garage will help everyone who's building their own turbo kit at home, especially if they are trying to fit twin whirlybirds inside of a small engine compartment. In this video, we show you how to pie-cut straight aluminum tubing to create the tightest 90-degree bend possible. We'll also show you the tools we used to make it happen. Also, here's an update on the 21ft Eliminator Daytona jet boat build and some new technology for you jet boat guys! This one is heavy on the tech and also features the one and only Mike Cotten behind the ol RUclips Starter Kit aka his smart phone! lol

I think “Wifey’s Whip” is a great name for the Eliminator! That way when you gap people out in Parker they know your wife’s boat is faster than their boat 🤣
That's great except "whips" are cars, not boats.
I like signed consent!
Wifey's Waker
@@stuwest5862 look deeper. The term "whip" actually refers to steering wheel "Whips" were originally used to steer stage coaches. When cars were invented they called the steering wheel a whip because it steered the car the same way as a whip steered a stage coach.
Until a flat bottom pops up, but of course a flat bottom can't run the full length of parker wide open unless your crazy lol, like the Daytona can.
Thanks Guys, much appreciated !
Go do work....SON!
It's cool to see the shout out to Fab Forums. Kyle has taught me a lot over the years
What tutorials does he specialize in ?
@@xprettylightsx he does a little of everything. Very detail oriented, and breaks it down for people like me that like to learn. He also has a couple fox bodies and a couple square bodies. I recently realized that I had been unsubscribed for a while, so I have some catching up to do. Check out TheFabForums on RUclips
@@TylerHunt1 thank you for the detailed reply.
👌🙏
The three of y’all together just make an awesome team. So funny.
37:39 good call on tucking in your hoodie drawstrings for the mill work. In my shop I make everyone cut them off. It's way cooler than getting your head pulled into a mill or lathe. 👍
OMG! Finn, Dave and Cotton you guys are awesome! Jet boat content is the greatest. I’m 54 and grew up on jet boats! My dad was one of the first to have one on the river here south of Chicago in the 70’s. Once everybody saw what he had and how fast his 72 Sidewinder went with a big block 455, everybody wanted a jet boat! Within the next 2 years the majority of the guys were getting jet boats. My dad has been gone 20 years now but you are helping me bring back all the memories from then. Thanks for posting your jet boat content!
Mike, it's your dang boat! Build it the way you want it! Let the others build their own boat the way they want to!
Fab Forums is a great channel to watch as he does all sorts of projects
👍
Thanks for taking the time to explain why you went the way you did on the turbos. Should have known you guys were on top of it
Nice work guys
Chop saw made super clean cuts
The Eliminator is beautiful
Really like how tucked in everything is around the motor
The new pump is super cool
That HIP process was probably done where I work, we have seen Nascar cylinder heads, aluminum 9" center sections, and those grid fins on SpaceX rockets. Pretty cool process, VERY high pressures.
That innovation at the jet nozzle is genius. I work with pump systems and once I saw it I was like.. oh yeah that will work. I also noticed that there is an inducer on the inlet of the impeller as well. They should all help with hole shot. In Fluid terms low velocity head. By using both devices you increase your suction head which reduces cavitation. It should give you a very quick and smooth transition. Thanks for showing us that. I had a few river boats back in the day, most used the Hamilton 212, the Am Turbine, and the Kodiak 3stg.
Sharp bends are the enemy of high flow! 🌊
So is small diameter.
Yep, I have definitely had to move riders from one boat to the other to balance the loads when river racing. Keep them coming.
Finn, please in the next video talk about setting the pump back; why people do it, and if you know, how to do it on a boat not already set back! This video was great though thanks so much!
That system is lookin' tight! Really nice and compact, instead of tubing all over the place. Looks really good!
The reducers look strange to me. I think it would look cleaner still and offer better performance to boot if you merged the cold side together into the final size before your pie-cut elbow.
There's a bottleneck where the two turbos merge before it opens up at the throttle body. I'd have liked to see the throttle body diameter run all the way to the Y.
@@terencecampbell8363 100% you're right, the Y into a larger elbow is not a particularly difficult joint to fabricate if you template it up first, it would fit, and give a good laminar flow.
Literally exactly what I just came to post :D
It just looks nasty to me thinking of flow characteristics... massive restriction with the turbos fighting one another... it won't but could theoretically nearly halve the turbo performance
22:40 if you wanna see Finnegan’s fancy new boat sphincter 🕳… you’re supposed to clench it for the holeshot or something
You are doing things that are above me so I enjoy watching y'all do that!
great video! i realy like this solution and you guys did a great job showing hot to do it.
but if you want a bit more flow you can also cut the y tube from the turbos a bit further back, make the round cut on the 90 ovalized and weld something like a 3.5 inch or even 4 inch 90 to it.
right now the 2 turbos are pushing a lot of air trough that tight small 90 and that risistance will also make a lot of back presure resulting in a lot warmer exhaust temperature.
cheers! cant wait to see this thing slapping cheeks in the water!agag
AAAAAH MIKE!!!!! @3:10 is that chuck key in the lathe chuck!!! Man you gotta get that thing out of there before someone accidentally turns that little lathe on and eats that chuck key for lunch!
Love me some short tight cold side plumbing, good work boys! Can’t wait to see this thing roost
I've gotta say that I have been absolutely loving the latest season of Faster With Finnegan on MTOD, wish there were comments there but I really hope it's getting the love it deserves!
Your honesty and integrity and your teaching skills are appreciated greatly. Many are those on your tube who are there simply to entertain us and increase their view numbers, even if they are being idiots doing it. You all know who I speak of and I would be lying if I said I was not entertained by their stupidity, even though my comments degrade them. I am an old worn out fart who started out in automotive right out of hi school mainly because I could not afford any college, so I did what I could to support my wife and children, first one I had while still in hi school. I never missed a child support payment and left 3 x wives way better off than I was. Just a word to all you young men. Do not short change yourself, and put something away for your 'golden years' (my ass). Before you know it , your days of racing and toys will be way behind you an your body will be as worn out as a super t-10 with 5000 passes behind a well endowed big block. You will grind and clank and pop out of gear 20 times before you reach your front door most days. You will not believe what all your tools will fetch at yard sales or online. Invest in yourself NOW, Dont wait till you go down in flames on the big end before you hit the sand traps. Believe me , it hurts.
Wise words. thanks for sharing them.
Another great, educational video but...without sounding like an ass... jet units actually all started in New Zealand with a company called CWF Hamilton.
Yes, I am a proud Kiwi 😎
Was going to comment the same 😊😊
@@KiwiBassHead Ditto me again. North Americans think nothing ever happened outside North America.
Every time I saw Game Over I thought of those retro video game Game Over screens. Using a similar theme I think this boat would be cool named 1UP. Maybe have a green mushroom on the back which would really pop with the red. And then when you're in front it's like the other "player" is chasing the 1UP mushroom
Love that compact design! Super sick guys!
awesome info on cutting and welding up the tubing..
Looks really good! I know I couldn't figure all that out. Nice job
Wow! You guys are so inspiring. I’m digging your new boat build. I’m working on an extremely low budget but I picked up my first ever jet boat project recently. It’s an old Carlson CV19 with a Ford 460 and a Berkeley pump. The engine has some cooling issues so I have some learning curves to work through.
Just keep making great content and inspiring folks like me. I live on the south east side of the city on Jackson Lake. If you’re ever this way hit me up and I’ll treat you to some good BBQ (Georgia style).
LOVE THE TURBO SET UP. ALL THE FUN BUT STILL CAN WALK PAST IT.
I can’t wait to see this thing rip! I bet it sounds awesome!
Been watching Kyle for years. His channel/content is soo good. Glad you guys found it to
This is wonderful stuff to watch!
I just learned a lot about something I never knew I wanted to know. I have no boat but lots of knowledge on a jet boat.
Im getting some real early-mid 2000s power block tv vibes from this video, except a little cooler i like it
interesting idea with the variable nozzle realy simple to make
Man it's going to look so good when finished!
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the entertainment
Good tutorial on making tight 90 degree bends!
That Jet drive is really cool. The boat is going to be awesome
Great video, really diggin this project.
Hamilton Jet from New Zealand the grand daddy of all jet drives
Man, you were so chill in this video. Like the Bob Ross of fabrication. 🤣🤣
A quick tip for anyone out there that doesn't know for aluminum you don't need a metal chop saw you can literally use a regular wood chop saw with a quality wood blade and you can use a wood router on aluminum wether its pipe,tubing ,channel whatever ... Sounds crude and dangerous but it's not you will be surprised how quick and easy aluminum cuts with wood blades., I work at a large custom fab shop and we use these methods quite often, one thing always wear PPE like glasses face shield and don't skimp on hearing protection high speed tools are ear damagingly loud! One plus is a quality wood chop saw usually has very accurate miter adjustments compared to most metal chop saws especially budget abrasive saws. Fyi DO NOT use any high speed wood cutting equipment on aluminum that doesn't clamp the material i.e. table saw or circular saw, it would cut through the material no problem per SE but where a table saw can fetch up and send wood flying at super high speeds with aluminum binding is way more likely probably definite and metal or blades flying at bullet speeds it would be life threateningly hazardous .... Do not use a table or circular saws not even in a pinch!
Thanks always love learning.
AWESOME...........I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO want to see this boat on the water! Get Er Done.
Very clean looking
Thanks for showing the knowledge. Cheers from iowa.
This is the only place I get to see built jet drive content and that shit is sick!!
Enjoy your life my friend, keep having fun... 👊🏻
Your definatley going first class all the way ....the motor looks so badass with the turbos set up like that, Suuper Clean! The custum jett drive is sick as F**k too!
I love pie cuts I've been using them for many years. I buy only straight aluminum tube now. That and my harbor horizontal frieght band saw I've had for 10 plus years. Next you should look into using vabnd clamps .
I always fill the tubing with fine sand and cap the ends. It works really good with bends.
For those that already have a miter saw for wood, your carbide blade will cut aluminum tubing just fine.
I was thinking that a Stainless steal carbide blade would have problems with aluminum
$50 says when someone at Nelson sees this, they shout into the machine shop to make a new pair of cold sides with the logos flipped over, just to send them to Mike. :D
I’ll take that bet. They would have to recast the housing to flip the logo’s
@@Jnichols77 Me to nelson is not gonna give two shits rather then to recast the housings this dude is in a dream world where money doesn't exist
🙄
I’d almost be more surprised if they didn’t already have cold side housings with the logo flipped. The main reason for mirror turbos is packaging and aesthetics. So, they may already have housing with the logo flipped so it faces the right way.
Yessss fabwork is KEYY!!!! Friggen Awsome!!
Awesome video and details 👊🏾
Hey Finn, you don’t have to defend your decisions, it’s ur shit doesn’t matter what other people have to critique and give their “professional” opinions on.
AWESEOME! Nice turbo setup.
Ha, you named the boat without realizing it. Forever to be known as “Wifey’s Whip” !! Great name
Hey Finn, good job on the machining. Glade to see you using a 2 flute end mill, better for chip removal on aluminum.
Try some three flute end mills for aluminum. Work really well.
The Daytona is so sick, I have a feeling it will give Game over a good run! Love the build & detailed videos!
You guys r killing it live your videos
Beautiful!! Love the video’s
awesome video finnegan
Great video!
You should invite Kyle down for a ride in the boat for the great video explaining pie cuts
👌
First jet unit was built by Bill Hamilton here in New Zealand. Hamilton Jet is still a big player world wide
In the 1950s Sir William Hamilton pioneered the first commercial waterjet. Fast forward 70 years and HamiltonJet remains a market leader of waterjets and vessel controls.
Great content thanks for sharing
perfection. not all heroes wear capes.
Nice work.
"I don't know any better and I'm not dead yet!" -Mike 2022
Hamilton jet 770 multi stage is another brand father used them in the aluminum boats he built here in Alaska . Loves the boat vids as much as the the others keep up the awesome content.. your fan northernnomad...
Great vid
You guys should stop by little Rock arkanas and help me with my 69 firebird. I have to resize the drive shaft, install front end parts. Build a 428. lots of fun. 😁
Great video.
In aviation we call that nozzle adjustment “turkey feathers”
Your the best bro, keep it up
You have created a thing of beauty. I retract my last suggestion.
that afterburner style jet works like VGT turbo, keeps pressure at lower load, opens up when loaded. same principle as diesel turbos to eliminate lagg
Love all the aluminum. That new jet drive is sexy! The whole setup is beautiful. Compact is GOOD! And yes, Math is hard.....🤣🤣
That trick nozzle is going to be like having a torque shifting prop. A buddy had one of those props on his Checkmate. It came out of the hole hard as hell and set you back in the seat when the prop switched. It was like being in a car with a Powerglide.
Wifey's Whip is a great name for the boat! As long as wifey approves!!!
Hey guys that 2.5” bend is going to be a chock point. It needs to be at least 3.0” or 3.5”. You just cut your Y pice back to where it is at 3.0” and make another bend up to your 4.0”. That will flow much better and help with your power. Check out flow charts. Cain hard guys.
The jetaway is cool....sounds like it works like a sprag clutch on a helicopter. Great idea!
~jw
Always love watching the amazing work you guys do, but I need info on that racing husky at the start of the vid
From a Machinist, looks like you did everything right on that Bridgeport. With that 2 flute end mill on aluminum, you could up the RPM a little. Looking Good!
On the next engine masters, log vs headers....
Ooohh. . . . .*gets thy groove on* good outro 😂🏴
Great video learned a lot dig the wife’s boat Bad to the bone beautiful boat
lol love all these clips,,, support finnegan ,,, he is gonna need more garages , very soon ;)
somebody get theses guys a beer sponcer they deserve it
There’s no quality content on RUclips that involves building a fast outboard engine and boat build. I’d love to see you tackle that subject. I bet it’d get more views than you think.
Wow that nozzle is CRAZY!
That sphincter nozzle is pretty cool!
I'm proud that i was the only one who suggested to do it that way in the last video lol
Dave ,you looked like you was really getting ready to mount that jet drive ! Some time you stand in compromising position without knowing .thanks for the laugh .:-)
When you are working with aluminum angle or flat stock. Wood working tools will do the job so if you wanted to bevel or round over the milled edges on your windows in the angle you can use a small router and a bit with the profile of choice to make perfect uniform edges around the windows super fast and easy
Perfect example of fine details and sticking to your ideas. People generally take the easy way out because finagling just takes too much time. As shown here the payoff is definitely worth it and unique.
Back in the day there was a guy that had a powerglide trans between the motor and jet. That was an amazing rig! I can’t wait to see someone duplicate that build!
I dont think it works like that. The boat would go faster at high rpm like the top of first or second and slower when it changed gears or have low rpm.
