If “So much torque the chassis just twisted coming off the line” was a car it would be Tater
This played in my head when it happened 😭
Never turn your back on family
Twisted
This not faster and furieus
No the frame is gonne bent and stay bent and it wil never go in an streat line
True but also whistlen has his general lee and there’s a clip on cleetus’s channel of the general lee literally twisting the chassis off the line
I saw that
“Today, I mounted a jet engine on a moped!!”
-Westen next week
"And my buddy Whistling Diesel has the controls... lets see how fast we can go."
Week after.
"So I'm in a full body cast, but recovery should be quick!"
Jetped vs tater vs cybertruck
There is a RUclips channel where an old man hooks up a rocket to anything and I mean anything
Dont give him crazy ideas
I have a 1984 Jawa 210 automatic. I reckon my generator motor would be faster.
"Next week I will turbocharge my vacuum cleaner and it will bend the floor."
We need this!
Underrated comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
McMurtry Spierling be like:
I gotta see this sh!T 😂😂😂😂😂
Your ability break shit that shouldn’t be broken in under 10 minutes should be studied and is truly an unmatchable talent
Can we have a 2024 recap video called, "BIG BLOCKS VS WESTEN" and we salute to all V8's that have died this year 🫡😭
I agree with this
no
Westen Champlin wrapped 2024
🐴🤠🇺🇲
Man if only he had a laptop hooked up warning him of the “danger to manifold”
IDK man i think the floor pans were still intact, perhaps the laptop wouldnt have helped
what? Why would he care about the floorboard manifold when it was the intake that blew up?
@@ChaotiX1 Because Hector is going to run 3 Honda Civics with Spoon Engines and the legendary Motec System Exhaust.
@@ExecutionStyleInc so what, you just gonna go around checkin out everybody's shit?
@@ExecutionStyleInc He just came into Harry's and bought 3 t66 turbos and NOS too!
You need to do a Hemi brother's episode with cleet and squirrel
He said “ you can not steer it and start it or you can start it and not steer it” I think that’s the same thing bud 😂 5:56
CletAss and chipmunk 🐿 wish they were as cool as Westin
@@MichaelWilliams-vb6wrjealous much?
Yesssssss
I think they might hurt themselves if all three were on one car encouraging one another!
Westen is officially an honorary Hemi brother.
Hemi brooooootherrrrrr
For 10 seconds. 😂
Hes the hemi step mom, stuck in the dryer
I thought you ripped the engine mounts completely off and the engine just dropped forward, would never have thought the intake blew apart hahahaha that's awesome.
Burnout Aussie stopped by for a weekend and never left apparently
He’s a permanent resident
They haven't realized he hasn't come back yet... 😂
I love how westen just puts Cummins 12 valves and hellcat motors in everything with an LS here and there lol.
Didn't even flinch on first fire, that's either pure confidence or he's decentitised to loud noises . I love the work
11:20 the sigh of a ford/chevy guy
Agree. Really over diluted with the dodge stuff. Its cool for a couple of them but almost every build has them it seems. Sponsorship I'm sure helps and he's built relationships with mopar engine shops etc cause of the roadkill nights stuff but a little engine DEI is needed!!
Your fighting leverage. Long blower with no support. Watch the belt wip around. Make supports and another idler pulley. Looks badass brother!
I agree. That intake looked flimsy as heck.
We're so back
the belt slack is nuts
If you don’t have any it will brake the crank, blower, or intake. Oh wait 😅
Why all his cars blow up😭🤣
i knew someone saw that! 😳😆
That’s what I was thinking lmao I think he might want to find another mechanic
Im not a supercharger guy at all and I thought that, good to know I'm not the only one
I see many people with excessive money spent in cars that have me wondering why on earth they would want a car like that. You have a an offroad Hellcat, a fast cinder block, a Ford Tank and now, amongst other things, a charger with a massive blower.... and they all make sense to me. Thank you for providing me with content of you excessively spending money on the vehicles that just make sense.
Even the ones I do look at first and question why someone would want it a few hours later even I know why. The things I’d do to certain cars that no one could ever imagine doing mods to would be done. And not I wouldn’t expect them to look good but at least perform good in what I’m trying to use it as.
Jealous
@ Dont be, just keep your head up and help others get out of life what they want and in not time you wont have anything to be jealous about.
Now that's a legit danger to the manifold situation! 🤣
Hell yea tater is back!!!
Annnnnnnd gone again 🤣🤣
So much torque the Intake Manifold twisted coming off the line...
2:18 "play AC/DC" ofc the Aussie says that (don't worry guys they're my favorite band too)
Yup ac/dc ftw 🇦🇺
Well... It would have been Billy Squire.
The fear was all those ladies (and half of the guys too) getting pregnant from those looks.
Yep AC/DC would be perfect 🇦🇺🇦🇺
1:16 i love that song
10:42 I KNOW WHATS WRONG WID IT, AINT GOT NO GAS IN IT 😂😂😂
That intake saved the world from all the Clouds he would’ve made ! 😅
I remember when you didn't give up and kept the video going until there was a burnout.
now you gotta run whistlin diesel's TT general lee
"Today we are engine swapping a mazda miata with not one, not threee, but four Hayabusa engines all custom built for racing." Westin next week
NEW TATER CONTENT RAAAAHHHHHHH
The first two Tater videos helped me convince my dad to want to rebuild a '69 charger. Thanks for everything you do man :)
1:42 anybody see that ratchet strap on its last thread ?🤣🤣🤣
It’ll last another year
You guys can’t keep anything running. The amount of time and effort put into these videos shows.
love that fact you always come back with more blower for tater
THE TORQUE FROM THAT NEW ENGINE WILL POP-CAN CRUSH THE FRAME AND BODY OF THAT MOPAR RUST-BUCKET!!!
The belt looked weird it was jumping about, crank flexing maybe, sounded Good too 😂
Those belts always slap around like that
“Dont worry i just had to touch it the right way”
-my uncle
Let’s go🎉 0:13
I wanted to type a comment saying that you need to shift early, before the rusted motor mounts snap, but thankfully the intake ripped first 🙏
yes finaly he has blown something up this christmas lets goooooooo anyway cant wait to see the next version of tater.
I can't express how much i love everything about your videos. The vibe the scenery and everything. Holy glaze.
I think the jackstand country song was the realist thing I’ve seen on RUclips in a while. I do a lot of random singing maybe I should do my own thing.
My heart dropped at 10:05 I thought the mat was oil when it flopped over LOL
I like how when Westen put a new LS engine in the Dodge Charger and it makes horsepower 1,500HP
What video are YOU watching? 🤔
Lmfao Wade is an MVP. Spends all his life getting stuff together for Weston and it breaks in two seconds lol.
I do hope he installs some subframe.Connectors in it and a new rear end and a custom drive shaft.And maybe a partial roll cage to stiffen up that car.Otherwise it's gonna rip itself apart😅😅😅
It needs to spend some time with Chris Birdsong, he's viagra for old mopars
Definitely love when he changes tater up . She GOTS TOO HAVE THAT HOURSE POWER .. my Dawg Westen Did It Again
In Weston's world, idler arms are Pitman arms, and engines are motors. 😂
Engines are motors.
@BCole-d9y is that Common Core?
I love to play this game: "Ford Motor Company" "General Motors". I really dont care how people say it.
@@jtrill2 motorboat, motorcycle motorhome
@@michaeldeas1969 common core?
Wow, this is absolutely insane! 😱 The power of that 1,500HP Hellcat engine is unbelievable, and putting it into a classic 1968 Dodge Charger? Genius! 🔥💥 The combination of modern power and vintage style is just perfect. I can only imagine how incredible it must feel to drive it. 🏁💨 Great work on this build, and I’m looking forward to seeing more awesome projects like this! 👏🚗💨
10:00 , your welcome, then the video ended. Yay Western 🙄🙄🙄
I always skip to the end 😂
Do you mean Eastern?
@@madmax82988he lives in the west in the same state I live in
@@NahimKJ okay
You need a mounting bracket on the front of the pulleys connecting the top to the bottom. That belt exerted so much leverage it ripped the top off.
My dream car is a 67 mustang, you should do a video with one of those, much love Westen ♥
Mine is a 69 mach 1
11:01 bro is next level " I can break it " 😭
Tater really is roasted taters now!
I swear every time I get a break and think "well what do I do now", there's a new Westen video. I guess the answer is watch something blow up!
if caseoh was a car guy
Would you shut up
💀
Don’t say shit like that dude it not ok he’s not like caseoh so whatch your mouth boy 🤬
@@LucasYarbrough-oo7iwit’s just a joke chiillll
@ no because people kill them selfs over people making fun of them and it not cool to do that so no I’m not gonna chill and if it’s a joke it’s not funny.
I just wish I had enough money to put a super charger on my mustang. These guys have the best time. Must be amazing to be able to have that much fun lol.
9:05 is the belt supposed to be that loose on the blower?
No, no one on this channel has any idea what they are doing.
@@Chiraq312boithat’s the cool thing about bout it
@@Oce_Jose all the cars make half the horsepower claimed and they all fail in minutes. Yep, pretty cool.
@@Chiraq312boisomeone is jealous
@@michaeldennison1532 I think I would rather have what I have currently, than a career built on being the butt of a joke. Just don’t think that I would want to be the popular Buffoon.
Put that motor in a Toyota Corolla
I started watching this channel when you were doing the Peterbilt build miss the old days of a good series and not just a random video here or there
Sounded like the timing was off
lmaaaoooooo
remember when the little shop got broken into?..long time has passed..wicked climb to the top,congratulations Weston
Paint it like the general Lee
Love how at 5:55 he says the same thing twice
Do the Australians live with you now or smth?
they work for cheep if give them free beer after work
Maybe
Where you mad when other Australians were hanging with Cleetus or nah 🤔
smith
@ its short for something dumbass
I will say I’m a huge fan! Been watching you since the start! I do miss the backyard builds! Where you basically used a flat head screwdriver to build an engine! And where is BOB?
should team up with WhistlinDiesel
Westen, yours is the only channel I can walk away from deceptive advertising from still feeling satisfied. Lmao
Someone people don't know... nightmares are dreams too....
6:41 y’all see how wade flinch 😂 there’s some abuse going on there 😂
9:02 the belt is too loose
no u
Think about it this way, the M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tank weighs around 70 tons on its own, and up to 78 tons with a full combat load uses a 1,500 horsepower gas turbine engine to move. That is a lot of horsepower to put in a car.
wade is awesome, I hope he stays on the channel forever bro
You know it’s a proper shop when there’s an Aussie in it
It good to see a real mechanical guy who can make people laugh. And good job to the team to make the videos look good.
Holy Cow :o Your Friend Wade is Sharp AF O.O 2 Days Wiring it and it Starts-right-up, Dang 7:47
If it can be broke Westen knows how! Well done man! I am looking forward to a little tweaking next video and Westen disintegrating the rear end or something in a spectacular way! If not tater next video maybe he'll have that tank and can crush some cars that would be bad to the bone as well! Westen whatever you got planned for next video bring it on we're here to cheer you on!
I also have an old car restoration youtube channel like you, watching the videos you make is quite interesting, you are my role model, congratulations
Yo Westin tador must of been thinking “IM A MINOR I DIDENT GIVE CONSENT FOR YOU TO TUCH ME LIKE THAT” hahaha that was funny in my head
You know it’s a good day when westen uploads 🎉
"Today I will Diesel swap this Traxxas Bigfoot with a 5.9 Cummins!" - Westen for some reason
Who remembers when he was working out of that 1 bay old garage? Came along way !!!!
"so much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line..."
"cool, my car has so much torque, it blew the intake in half..."
The 6-71/8-71 has been done on the gen 3 hemi for over 15 years brother. Love seeing it even now!
New westen video on a slow rainy day at work, let’s go! Been loving your videos lately man
I literally was saying out loud to my gf "that tiny cast manifold will never hold with that huge supercharger on top" and i guess it did not😂
Went from "so much torque the chassis twisted coming off the line" to "danger to manifold" real quick😂😂
1:20 I was watching the vid in 1.25x speed and I thought Westen was spittin for a second😂.
sounded like timing was off and the boost had nowhere to go but out the side of manifold
Tater got a new Hot Rod motor. Awesome. Running sweet as ever. Keep up the great work.
Letsss goooo tater was always my favorite one of his cars. I love it when I see a new video of her
I've never seen the Behind-the-Scenes of Wacky Races before 😂😂😂
Westin puts engine in, Westin blows up engine. The end. 😂😂
I don’t even like cars but this is beautiful i love the blowers they look so good
You NEED (it would make it sooo much better) to make the under of that car SHINING in fresh clean paint and keep the body on outside all rusted then it’s the ultimate best sleeper I have seen. As well as spray the enginebay
Please do this ❤😢
Can we get an interview with Wayde? Dude seems like an average joe who also happens to be a mechanical genius.
i wish we all could work for Westen dude is amazing
Intake manifold problem 😂😂😂 one of the few times the fast and furious meme actually works🤣🤣🤣
tater with the salvaged motorhome engine was a poster child for the channel, along with the smokestang it was what you was all about. A new custom made engine and blower combo worth a fortune seems to be more about what the channel is going to, lots of cash and lots of horsepower rather than salvaging the old and done machines. Id love to see you make tater good again with the rust fixed on the underside and uprated bakes, that sort of thing. Makes me sad when you mention only doing burn outs, this should be driven all over the place. i would daily it ioin its old config
Every time I see another one of these videos I'm just like "ohhhh tater what did they do to you now" 😂😂
Westen posts a video, first thought "Will something blow up in it?" Watches video, Not disappointed with the answer, lol. You merely "Expertly Catalogued" the intake, Westen.
That's some next level "polishing a turd" science right there.
I like how he has a 2000Hp mustang but loves tater more❤
