DIY Billet Parts/Flywheel Adapter - E55 ASL Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- This part is about making custom billet aluminum flywheel adapters for the manual swap. The transmission is a 6 speed manual from an Infinity G35 or 350z (CD001 or CD009), being bolted to the Mercedes M113k 5.4l V8 from a 2006 CLS 55 AMG

Dude-
You remind me of Tony Stark.
In a cave, middle of nowhere, with sketches and tools-
Creating a monster.
HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP this car is gonna end up like “the worlds fastest indian” about a guy from invercargil nz who turned a 1929 motorcycle into a world speed record, working his way up to alloy casting new pistons and the like in his shed!! Haha
@@renegadefunkstar I’m pretty sure he’s in Canada
You could do a video on how to make your makeshift mill. That thing is a wonder!
Lovin the build. And the fact that your building it rather than buying custom parts makes it that much more interesting.
This is one of the most in depth builds I've seen in a long time,love what you're doing-look forward to seeing the progress!cheers Johnny.
You're fearless. A "real" machinist would cringe at this - but then again a that same machinist isn't building a racing car from scratch in his garage. Anyone who whines they don't have the right tools - watch this guy.
This was very clever of you, not only with the makeshift mill but how little tooling you used to make the adapters. I wouldve tossed the parts on the lathe to level them out, then drill and bore out the center hole THEN put it on the mill. This looks way more efficient while maintaining necessary tolerances. Great video
Thanks for taking the time to make the video! I'm excited for the main adapter plate video!
You really need to use steel for this, aluminium will not hold up over time. Trust me. The shearing force is tremendus when doing high power cluch dumps. Also you need to balance that spacer or you will kill the bearings.
It's a race car, longevity isn't a huge concern.
You had the balls to use a mini lathe. I joked to my friend that I would do the same for my FW adapter and then I see this. LoL
Love your Engineering SK, looking forward to seeing the Bell Housing adapter.
I know it's way to late to mention this but I feel like the extra weight on the rotating parts of the drivetrain might have some noticeable effect on the peformance. It seems to make more sense to just get a machine shop to make a custom flywheel or flex plate. I understand you're trying to keep to OEM parts for cost of repairs but flywheels don't usually blow up as often as other parts especially if they are custom made for the application
Man your videos are crazy way beyond any other RUclips build
Excellent work and ingenuity. Well done
I am so hooked on this build! Thanks for sharing it with us
Once again we get completely awesome content from you. Keep up, wish you a great success!
Man you blow my mind each time i get to your channel
You are so genius... Simple and cheap too... Greaat vid bro
Top notch content, really digging these details. Keep it up!
Wow this is areal custom build, congrats mate!
You're the man, this build is awesome!
Very impressive!! Can’t wait for the next video👍
This channel is so underrated
Excellent job. I'm jealous of your skills.
If you keep going like this in 10 years from now you will build the next " Koenigsegg "
If he had used a v12 he’d sooner have a Zonda...
@@volod3mir truee that
Keep it up! Great project
Very nice. PMC sells adapter kit for BMW 530d gearbox
Nice work man.
that's an awesome ghetto CNC machine you got going there with the motor xD
well done mate thats awesome
This center adapter approach opens up sooo many cans of worms…..( in a good way)….now I’m all charged up to make an adapter to connect my tiny 2 banger kubota diesel to my Suzuki 5 speed. Amen…..another approach would be to use two mild steel plates. Drill the patterns add bolts and weld the plates.
i still remember the pictures along the story from al cosentino about the aluminium flywheel that exploded and nearly cut of his foot...., flywheel and clutch should be as near as possible to the block imho.
Nice work there, just a suggestion, when making your own flywheels and adaptors a kevlar blanket or a steel scattershield would be good insurance, or even just weld some 6mm plate where your feet/ankles are.. just in case. Have seen cars when they let go and it's not pretty.
That's awsome wish I had the skills to do this for my 6g72
You sir are a God.
Perfect man!
I don't think you understand the Danger of the possibility of the flywheel shaking its self loose, & exiting..
Did you check for runout ??
All that extra weight is going to add to inertia.
If its not balanced its going vibrate like hell.
Probably work ok if it were just for show.
Not the way i would do it.
The right way would be too make a new flywheel, then get the engine rotating Assembly balanced along with the new flywheel separately neutral balanced.
Speechless.
dude, you amazing.
The choice to make such a large adapter is interesting. Most people choose to machine down the bellhousing and then make an adapter from there. This lets the input shaft sit in the original bearing position, although the bearing does need to be changed.
Won't this solution introduce quite a large amount of flex between the transmission and engine casting? Also you've still got to machine a huge adapter to go between the bellhousing and the engine casting it looks like.
Well, it will make more sense in the next video. The bell housing adapter is also going to be solid mounted to the chassis. Its a part of the structure of the car the way the chassis is designed, so the transmission had to be spaced out.
May I suggest next time you need to machine an adapter like this to collaborate with a RUclips machinist, like abom79. I suspect there's a way to do this in one piece (not two).
Great work, since the adapter is a big piece of metal which is connected directly to the engine I think it should be rotationaly balanced, and those bolts need some kind of thread locker.
Just my opinion, and I love your videos.
Yes, I did use thread lock on the bolts. The adapter is only 1.5kg and symmetrical so should be okay without balancing. Same reason why supercharger pulleys or idler pulleys aren't balanced
great work bro, btw i wonder can you show us how to dynamically balance the whole crank & flywheel assembly with only basic tools ? cheers
fyuni tek it's easy, you need just one basic tool - a crank balancing machine.
After you make this work you should come up with an adapter kit and sell it. I’m sure tons of people want to do a manual swap but don’t have the knowledge.
This guy is one fart smother mucker- like engineer Pete
This guy engineers
What kind of milling machine do you use?
Im from toronto and i follow your work for quite some time. I would really love to an opportunity to meet you in person. Thumbs up mate
Thanks man, not much going on these days. Summer would be a great time if you want to come out to the track or something
@@xfmotorsports okay good luck with the build! We follow you with passion and admiration! One of the best skilled youtuber I seen so far! Proud you're from Ontario!
Liking the build so far. Question: Why are you using aluminium for the adapters? Is it strong enough? The crankshaft and flywheel are made of steel alloy, right? Thanks. Cheers
Will you make the same adaptor for me so I can fit 350z to my c43??
Do you expect any additional wear on the crank bearings with the flywheel/clutch sitting further out from the engine? Great channel btw, subbed.
Thanks. The weight of the clutch and flywheel is pretty negligible compared to the type of forces main bearings go through in their normal application, so shouldn't be a problem
@@xfmotorsports Thanks for the insight.
Won't the adaptors just be another mechanical part that would fail, more undue stress?
Any particular reason why the 350z transmission instead of something more common like T56?
Hey man! So I actually own an SL55 AMG and I desperately want to swap to a manual. I'm planning on doing a build similar to yours but I want to keep the sl55 frame and convert to a Misha Wide Body
I'm planning on converting
SBC>Standard Brakes/No ABS/ESP
ABC>Electronically Adjustable Coilovers
Central Vaccum Locking>Electric Locks
Power Top>Targa Top
I want to run my car off of a simple standalone ECU and remove all of the Mercedes Modules
I want to have my setup be as analogue as possible to save weight and increase chassis rigidity, but also to simplify my build/maintenance.
Is there any way you could give me resources on how to fabricate these parts myself, or ideally sell me the required materials to convert my 722.6>CD009? I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!
When that flywheel comes thru the bell housing and lops off your legs, you’ll realize then at that moment, why adapting flywheels is a bad idea
Isn't all that extra rotating mass bad for the performance of the engine?
Have you considered welding the bellhousing adapter to the actual bellhousing instead of bolting it on both the bellhousing and the engine side?
I thought about it, but I wan't to leave the clutch and transmission unmodified. It will be easier to swap the transmission this way if I mess it up on the track
Cool
What ecu do you use? And did u tune it yourself??
Am I seeing a compression cutter (ie up and down) bit to cut aluminium? If yes, those are for wood only. If not... well sorry.
Otherwise, great stuff.
Why don't you use a transmission from a m112 engine?
are you going to balance the adapter incl. flywheel and pressure plate? you should be! what alloy did you use? you need to build it with certal. otherwise i dont think you will have long time fun with it.
The adapter its self is very light, just 1.5kg so I don't think balancing that would be a concern. I might balance the aftermarket flywheel if it seems off. It had no balancing marks on it. Aluminum grade was 4032 I believe
@@xfmotorsports yes i see, and close to the middle. i would do it with flywheel and pressure plate on it. as one pice. will be positive in acceleration, too. as unbalanced rotary mass is hard to accelerate. hope you get the exact distance for the gearbox. 2mm and the clutch wont open or close :D pain in the ass work. good to see you are keeping it up! all the best from germany! :)
Haha its a pain for sure, but anything over that slow shifting automatic
is it that slow? i drove my friends e-class some weeks ago. its same model as yours but a diesel. never recognized it. but shure, for racing its a different shift time :D
Great job.....great project!!!! Frè però secondo me dovresti parlare di meno....troppi troppi discorsi!!! Comunque sei un grande, bellissimo progetto, grandissimo lavoro davvero!!!
какой диаметр диска сцепления? толщина?
Where are you located?
What is the best way to get a hold of you?
What is the 350z bolt pattern?
No need to balance the adapters?
Would you be selling all of this mod parts?
Why didn't you just customize the flywheel??
blindabinda123 exactly! Could have had the holes welded up and redrilled by a machine shop.
(5:30) Poor Man's CNC mill
Wasn't it possible to make adapter from 1 piece?
VetalK that’s what I was thinking too
Do you feel that youtube algorithms are unfair because you put so much work in your build and every video is well made but you still have so little views?
I agree with that.
He's done more work in this video than guys with fully equipped machine shops do in weeks!
Not to mention other car channels that aren't a patch on this, but have tens of thousands of hits.
I think rebuilding a wrecked car is popular at the moment, but this guy is making a car...maybe TMI for some.
is not the algorithm , is just small interest
It lack clickbait tittle/thumbnail...lol
yt algorithms have nothing to do with how much effort went into producing the video...
I think this because only the chosen ones can see his vid... Lol... Just kidding
When a 2JZ manual swap won’t do!
75 divided by 2, whatever that is...
then proceeds to calculate every value required for a professionally built track car and builds it himself
Like the vids, but could you please SLOW down when talking...

Dude get a lathe...or make friends with someone who has one
