Jimbers Wimbers and good time too ! you see the grand tour just ended ... and new stuff are being up on youtube so you have more time to spend ... i mean waist
They're back!!! I think this year if you guys come to the East Coast, we should go drifting (we were so close but no cigar at SEMA last year)! Cant wait to see what is to come!
I think MCM is arguably one of the best programmes ever to come out of RUclips. From the production and editing to the factual info it provides - its a masterpiece in all aspects.
Finally you are getting close to mixing the voices and music at the same volume! Well done guys. No more decreasing and increasing the volume constantly during a video. :)
I was so afraid at the beginning of the video that the complete swap would be done in one episode, so happy to find out at the end of the episode that it isn't finished yet because that means another episode is coming!
Intro music isn't to bad either ;) You guys should defs do more behind the scenes live streams, I Think a lot of people would want that myself including!
Watching the full playlist of the mini builds, and I just noticed that this video was released one year and one day after the completion video of the supercharged version! So neat! 😎🤙
Just after I'd passed my driving test at 17 a friend of mine, with a family racing history, had a 1275 Clubman GT worked on by Colin Clan. I had a hat he wanted, the deal was I could I drive the 1275 in return for the hat. A lot of years later the memory still makes me smile and shiver!
When Honda used a long shaft and a short shaft the long shaft bent into a corkscrew and caused major vibration. And, that was with their 50 HP engine! By making the long shaft into two pieces they were able to keep the shafts relatively thin without it twisting up.
Great video guys, really impressed by the mechanical details given instead of the machine just working! Thumbs up! One question; What is the cost of that engine cradle?
I feel like an NA B series is a lot slower than what you're thinking. The original car only weigh like 300kg more than the Mini, and half of the kids with them gut them. Like.. if it's NA I just don't see how it's going to be as satisfying as the other MCM wagons you guys built. Oh well will just have to wait and see what it turns out like.
i have a feeling this thing will not remain n/a for its whole life. but honestly it'll prolly be supercharged, i imagine trying to fit all the turbo components in there
This is such an odd episode, because Moog has these very brief moments during when he's discussing how they've got to cut into the sheet-metal of the car where you can see in his eyes that it's almost like he realizes he's having to butcher what was a perfect car before he decided he needed more power, and since the entire car is apart (having spent what was almost certainly several hours if not a few days of both his/Marty's as well as the other guys' time), there's really no turning back at this point. I haven't seen the other videos yet, so who knows, I'm sure he's going to love the final product. But in this video, he's definitely got a few moments where he's trying to hide that he's feeling overwhelmed at chopping up a car that's special to him.
dont get me wrong i would love to own one but considering what mcm is about, i'd rather see a b16 mini swap rather than a car i can see and drive if wanted to today by going to a dealership
Got something you will be interested in, Project Binky, by Bad Obsession Motorsport, another mini mod to fit a big engine, there are quite a lot of episodes so get some beer in. It is mad.
@2:47 Turbo Yoda's Honda reaction! Priceless... I went o.0 when I found out he doesn't like SR20s. That's been described as one of the most tunable, reliable, best designed modder engines of all time. I wonder why he doesn't like it?
Numinous shitty head design. They're a dime a dozen, that's why they're so widely used. Plus they sound like farting tractors. Owned and built a few SRs.
Elxmo Perhaps stock, but I've heard their potential is top-notch and they have like zero design weaknesses. Heads can easily be worked over and stuffed with new cams to flow a ton more, for instance. I watched a video that described it once. I wish I could remember why they were saying the SR20 is so good. But they were quite adamant about its superiority.
Josh Deason That's what it was, IIRC. And I heard that besides that, it's a very well-designed motor, durable, etc., sort of like a 4-banger equivalent to the 2JZ or RB26.
Elxmo Good info. Head flow isn't as important on turbo cars, however, as boost is a game-changer and can be cranked up with proper turbo selection. That's actually one of the reasons Honda heads flow so well and rev so high - they have to in pursuit of good power, being N/A.
You have a 3 post mount from a dc2 integra. You need a 2 post mount meant for a b16a2 from a usdm 99-00 civic si OR you need to simply change the post itself to an integra type r post mount from a dc2 integra
That's the only proper Mini build on RUclips (outside a few, but sadly undocumented ones). This one...just a kit swap inside a car that was worth more original, much more, now it's worthless.
aserta Well yes tho that Binky is the only "proper" build and no to this being worthless. I think when a car is your hobby it's what it is worth to you what's important. Not what it's worth to others :) I think this is a really cool build too.
A K20 swapped classic Mini would definitely be an amazing thing. Particularly if you decide that torque steer isn't something to be concerned about and you decide to slap a twin-scroll turbocharger onto it. The B16B is also a great option, but the twin-scroll turbo is still a fun idea if you hate your front tires.
Daniel Streefkerk there's only two of them and they have to work alongside of doing project binky, it's a miracle they get them out as frequently as they do hats off to the guys!
Brave man Moog to cut up a pristine JDM mini, but it's your car and that's what makes awesome car, the balls to do the unthinkable. By the way, have you checked out the Project Binky Build that is a Mini with Celica GT4 running gear
5 speed gearboxes have been available for the mini for years!!!!! (or they have here in the UK.) also they can be tuned to well over 100hp without even needing a supercharger on the A series
I'm aware they lack power compared to the Honda engine, but my point being the lack of 5 speed gearbox seemed to be the main reason for the swap. by the time all the other parts that needed modified or changed have been done, its cheaper (certainly here) to replace the gearbox in the sump of the A series engine. besides that, a FWD Honda conversion isn't a new thing, there were V-tec powered minis here at least 15 years ago! Project Binky (see mad obsession motorsport channel) is currently undergoing a full running gear swap (including all wheel drive) with a Toyota Celica GT4. Hyabusa bike engines are also common swaps and make the minis faster than the V-tec conversions
The only way you're getting a 2jz mini is if you had more money than sense. You'd have to build a tube frame RWD pseudo replica. Even if you could modify a real mini to fit a 2JZ, the weight on, and power going, to the front wheels would ruin any chance of it ever driving properly. Infact, you'd basically have to build a new chassis to have a show. I did a quick google and there appears to be a few people claiming to have RWD minis, but they're using bike engines etc rather than a 3l straight 6.
Anyone else watch Project Binky by Bad Obsession Motorsports channel, that is a wild build. It been going on over 3 years now. It's a must watch for petrol heads.
Finally someone else Dropped the Engine out, still attached to the Front Subframe. I used to do that, when Ever I needed to Take my Mini Engine's out. No faffing about with Engine Hoists. Just get a Couple of mates to lift the Body over the Engine. Ya just can't do it if u still have an Hydrospastic (Hydrolastic) system. It so much easier. Unless you don't have Mate's..!! Then your just Sad.!! Great video guys..!! 😎
1970 mini cooper s black hooning up a road drove over a silent cop ripped off the muffler lol great times lol , grandfather now and watching my son and grandsons designing and enjoying cars time rolls on lol love this show mate

Brilliant video, brillient idea, can't wait for the next episode. My favourite non supercar ever with unicorn power just brilliant.
Jimbers Wimbers well said my friend!
Jimbers Wimbers and good time too !
you see the grand tour just ended ... and new stuff are being up on youtube so you have more time to spend ... i mean waist
Jimbers Wimbers search RUclips for the monster of a project called 'project binky', prepare to have a new favourite
Spif Spaf - cheers pal, just searched to check what it was and it caught my interest :) will watch a few episodes tonight and get back to ya 👍
Екатерина Калинина wow
They're back!!! I think this year if you guys come to the East Coast, we should go drifting (we were so close but no cigar at SEMA last year)! Cant wait to see what is to come!
Yes, I want to see a ChrisFix MCM collaboration video.
Me to it would be brilliant! No matter if its a challenge or something like MCM 2 it be MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!
Mighty Chris Mods, lets make it happen!
Imagine ChrisFix narrating while Moog and Marty do all the work, hahaha.
Whatever they do it would be amazing.
yess make chrisfix mcm collab, that would be awesomee
YAY!!! another 50 years of MCM!!! sweeeeet!
Who has been with Mighty Car Mods for at least 5 years?
been since 2009
rambow70 since 2012
I have been Watched since 2008 it has been wonderful show Very Episode
I'm a Project Binky addict and found this as a much needed fix until the next Binky
Same!
Aussie Binkie!
And it still goes on!!!
Yep
Get the funk out!!
I think MCM is arguably one of the best programmes ever to come out of RUclips. From the production and editing to the factual info it provides - its a masterpiece in all aspects.
I love it when turbo yoda is on the show. He is my hero!!
Finally you are getting close to mixing the voices and music at the same volume! Well done guys. No more decreasing and increasing the volume constantly during a video. :)
Watching this episode again in 2023. One of the greatest. I sure miss Turbo Yota, bring 'em back!
"Will this Honda fit in my Mini?"
Well done, Moog. Well done.
I was so afraid at the beginning of the video that the complete swap would be done in one episode, so happy to find out at the end of the episode that it isn't finished yet because that means another episode is coming!
Bobster aQ
I can tell Moog is emotionally connected to this Mini. Tearing it apart is taking a toll on his mojo.
That's certainly a dream car of mine. I love small cars; look at how effortlessly the wheels are lifted off!
New intro is awesome!!
Intro music isn't to bad either ;) You guys should defs do more behind the scenes live streams, I Think a lot of people would want that myself including!
My soul shattered in pieces when Moog said about going naturally aspirated.
THIS is what got me into MCM. Now I'm re watching
Rewatching the whole Mini series for the first time in 7 years and pleased to see Woody!
That brake kit looks beautiful! The builds are getting pretty serious at MCM!
Embrace Racing ikr, this year is looking like it will be a beast.
This is actually one of the few car channels that are not like "look i bought a super car!!! Subscribe!!!"
Killed the Stradman here. Still enjoy his channel tho
That cute little speech of encouragement at the end. You guys are great.
Had to come back to watch this over again for the third time
as a Honda enthusiast this makes me happy. oh so happy
Far out. Re watching. Look how far you’ve come. Would love to see the mini make an appearance in a new video
Watching the full playlist of the mini builds, and I just noticed that this video was released one year and one day after the completion video of the supercharged version! So neat! 😎🤙
Man, I love that Mini! Simply beautiful.
Remember when MCM was about not knowing a lot about cars but learning, and doing fix's\mods\upgrades in their drive way.
Turbo Yoda's reaction to the new engine was hilarious
Just after I'd passed my driving test at 17 a friend of mine, with a family racing history, had a 1275 Clubman GT worked on by Colin Clan. I had a hat he wanted, the deal was I could I drive the 1275 in return for the hat. A lot of years later the memory still makes me smile and shiver!
supercharged mini powered go kart? now thats project!
Wooo!!! 2017 can finally begin!!!
I stopped making food to watch this.
I stopped doing paperwork. :D
aerosaaber I stopped sex for this
haha awesome same here!!!!
Tray Muse I stopped watching midget porn for this!
Stopped breathing for this
14:46 Alan quietly trying to put a turbo on it. Genius!
Covid-19 lockdown, no better time to revisit some classic MCM builds, cheers Marty & Moog.
Same goes to me
When Honda used a long shaft and a short shaft the long shaft bent into a corkscrew and caused major vibration. And, that was with their 50 HP engine! By making the long shaft into two pieces they were able to keep the shafts relatively thin without it twisting up.
I really love this build . Super fast car and Honda reliable
But I hate the hater's ever one builds the car they want.
This is the first video that I watched with MCM, i was hooked after, thanks for all your videos.
Long time subscriber, first time commenter, parent of a 9 year old. Aww shit son.
Great video guys, really impressed by the mechanical details given instead of the machine just working! Thumbs up! One question; What is the cost of that engine cradle?
its 1:30am and i need sleep... wait MCM dropped a video, well looks like another late night!
Welshy haha
Amazing channel with great diy videos and cool adventures
Fark, when Turbo Yoda is involved im happy.
I feel like an NA B series is a lot slower than what you're thinking. The original car only weigh like 300kg more than the Mini, and half of the kids with them gut them. Like.. if it's NA I just don't see how it's going to be as satisfying as the other MCM wagons you guys built. Oh well will just have to wait and see what it turns out like.
The 90's the B16B actually has about 20 to 30 more hp compared to a b16a/b16a1. a B16B has roughly the same output as a B18C engine.
i have a feeling this thing will not remain n/a for its whole life. but honestly it'll prolly be supercharged, i imagine trying to fit all the turbo components in there
Welcome back, where's the notification squad!
Only 45 seasons/years left till we get part 2 of the mini series.
The engineering on these parts is just beautiful. :o
Wish they would start to do more vids like this
So weird to look back at this episode and see Turbo Yoda in a proper work shirt! The Skid Factory has a much more laid back feeling to it!
This is such an odd episode, because Moog has these very brief moments during when he's discussing how they've got to cut into the sheet-metal of the car where you can see in his eyes that it's almost like he realizes he's having to butcher what was a perfect car before he decided he needed more power, and since the entire car is apart (having spent what was almost certainly several hours if not a few days of both his/Marty's as well as the other guys' time), there's really no turning back at this point.

But in this video, he's definitely got a few moments where he's trying to hide that he's feeling overwhelmed at chopping up a car that's special to him.
These videos connect with my Soul
Don't worry about the parts from Japan. They can be delivered overnight apparently. Just put your name down as Dominic Toretto.
Bro I wanna see vids on Marty's new car !!!!
Its just a golf nothing to exiting imo
J Jenej its a hire car im assuming 😂 You really think marty would drive all the way up when he can just fly? Plus he has a suitcase, hence he flew.
Ugur's Video Realm I wount knock a mk7 golf... I have a 1.8 apr stage two and it's not what you think it is man it's fun as hell
Juan Sanchez so is a chipped turbied 2013 2 door gold gti especially when your doing 200
dont get me wrong i would love to own one but considering what mcm is about, i'd rather see a b16 mini swap rather than a car i can see and drive if wanted to today by going to a dealership
I'll watch but fingers crossed you wont split this into 35,000 episodes too.
moog is reallly steppin up the music quality😱😱😱
I'd like to see this mini vs project binky when it's done. Make for an epic episode!!!
Mark Walsh binky will eat this. Turbo 4wd and fabricated from scratch, but it would be great to see, if they ever finish binky
When u can say “V-TEC KICKED IN YO” in a mini😂😂😂😂😂
"Hey, do you own a mini or a Honda?"
"Yes"
It's a Mini Honda
Because of this vid ive just gone and bought and old cooper ill put a couple of grand into it and have a lovely little gem.
16:12 when that fella cracks a laugh was very wholesome
So bigger builds? Everyone from America is waiting for the turbo V8 guys, that would be real mad!
Got something you will be interested in, Project Binky, by Bad Obsession Motorsport, another mini mod to fit a big engine, there are quite a lot of episodes so get some beer in. It is mad.
Finally the mystery of the long screwdriver in my late Dad's toolkit is solved! He was always working on these types of engine.
@2:47 Turbo Yoda's Honda reaction! Priceless...

Had you gotten a b18c type r motor, the engine mount on that kit would of fit.
they sorted it out and put out a plea on FB
but yeah. they have the dc5 3 post and needed the ek4 2 post mount.
I had been through that with my b18 swap.
Do you know project Binky. A 4x4 sleeper
yeah you guys should seriously watch this. Mini build taken to the next level!
That's the only proper Mini build on RUclips (outside a few, but sadly undocumented ones). This one...just a kit swap inside a car that was worth more original, much more, now it's worthless.
aserta yeah but I doubt moog is getting rid of it for a long time
aserta Well yes tho that Binky is the only "proper" build and no to this being worthless. I think when a car is your hobby it's what it is worth to you what's important. Not what it's worth to others :) I think this is a really cool build too.
Just caught up last night. It's going to be a little monster.
A K20 swapped classic Mini would definitely be an amazing thing. Particularly if you decide that torque steer isn't something to be concerned about and you decide to slap a twin-scroll turbocharger onto it. The B16B is also a great option, but the twin-scroll turbo is still a fun idea if you hate your front tires.
Only Honda, Only Honda..... The most reliable Cars and N-A engines on the planet. What more can i say. Brillant Mini project.
Hmmm... I'd say Toyota is more reliable... But that s debatable. Honda is faster though
my b18 swapped mini set on fire last year! :( still rebuilding it
John Edwards unicorn farts are highly flammable
Car throttle is planning a v6 mx5 build. You two should do a video together
You guys make this enjoyable even for a Willys/Jeep guy. Keep up the good work.
Keep the supercharged engine and put it in a go kart or something.
HadSta they should build that supercharged mini engine on the back of a drift trike😁
Best mini sleeper is being built by Bad Obsession Motorsports.
Daniel Streefkerk there's only two of them and they have to work alongside of doing project binky, it's a miracle they get them out as frequently as they do hats off to the guys!
The anticipation kills me! I can't believe the detail on their work.
they dont post enough videos however
Scott thats because they film it as they build it, a build like that takes a lot of time
Will be good when its done just impatient
MCM>Roadkill Like if agree.
one day when I can afford to go Australia for a couple weeks I want to meet these guys
I really hope they change their mind and turbo it anyway. Even with as low as 8 psi, it would make this build perfect
Un drivable in the twisties unfortunately..
In (now) 48 years, “This week on Mighty Wheelchair Mods” 🤣
Marty Quote: "I'm frothing from multiple orifices at the same time..."
That made me laugh far more than it should have :D
The B16/B18 looks way better than 95% of the new engines thumbs up if u agree. That's what I call pure perfection.
Brave man Moog to cut up a pristine JDM mini, but it's your car and that's what makes awesome car, the balls to do the unthinkable. By the way, have you checked out the Project Binky Build that is a Mini with Celica GT4 running gear
Next collaboration please! I think MCM and Project Binky would make a great show. Possibly better than MCM and roadkill??
Dudes!!! you should've jammed an R1 engine in that beast!!
you need to race Project Binky when both are finished! :)
Binky won't be finished anytime this decade, I can't wait that long!
BLIGHTY1000 that's going to be epic if it happens
haha so in a decade or two?
Takeo Ischi yep
Man, It been 2 years since this is released.. time fly’s by
ik lel
*Moog pulls into the shop*
Turbo Yoda: "What do you guys need now?"
Moog: *Steps out of mini* "Do you think my Honda will fit in this?"
Welp, I have a final tomorrow. But MCM is priority
5 speed gearboxes have been available for the mini for years!!!!! (or they have here in the UK.) also they can be tuned to well over 100hp without even needing a supercharger on the A series
Peter Lattimer at the cost of money, and then you only have 100HP. These B series can make 300 NA and 1,500+ with boost....
I'm aware they lack power compared to the Honda engine, but my point being the lack of 5 speed gearbox seemed to be the main reason for the swap. by the time all the other parts that needed modified or changed have been done, its cheaper (certainly here) to replace the gearbox in the sump of the A series engine. besides that, a FWD Honda conversion isn't a new thing, there were V-tec powered minis here at least 15 years ago! Project Binky (see mad obsession motorsport channel) is currently undergoing a full running gear swap (including all wheel drive) with a Toyota Celica GT4. Hyabusa bike engines are also common swaps and make the minis faster than the V-tec conversions
Those engines have been put into minis for around 20 years now, I remember seeing one in a magazine called Fast Car in the UK.
I was hoping for a 2j, they always make me 😊 but still love the swap
yeah, right, sure, a 2jz in a mini
IamNeil aRon how would you fit a 2jz? The b16 is already to big and barely fit.
The only way you're getting a 2jz mini is if you had more money than sense. You'd have to build a tube frame RWD pseudo replica. Even if you could modify a real mini to fit a 2JZ, the weight on, and power going, to the front wheels would ruin any chance of it ever driving properly. Infact, you'd basically have to build a new chassis to have a show.
I did a quick google and there appears to be a few people claiming to have RWD minis, but they're using bike engines etc rather than a 3l straight 6.
Well there is Fiat 126 with V8 so why not i guess xD
Not possible as long as you abide to our universe's physics.
Simple as that... I see JDM in the title. I click! #JDMCrew
whos watching in 2067?
blleeb
I will be watching Mighty Car Moods in 2067
Sick video. The original Mini was awesome.
MCM needs to do a collaboration with "B is for Build". His channel embodies the MCM vibe and should have tons more subscribers than he does.
"You should close your eyes for the next 15 seconds"... Ad starts playing
13:00 i said an out-loud WTF when he said i like it better then an sr20, and one second later Moog followed with the same lol.
justin MacPhee I laughed hard core at that.. Especially moog mouthing Wtf!
I don't know why this videos are entertaining to me.
Bro am I the only one who didn't know moog had his own pandora station?!?!!
WRX Thomas holy shit you just made my day had no idea either
WRX Thomas what's it called.?
Isai garcia just search moog in pandora
You need the Project Binky lads...don't buy/ wait for the parts build them. Ofcourse it will take you longer but so worth it...
Anyone else watch Project Binky by Bad Obsession Motorsports channel, that is a wild build. It been going on over 3 years now. It's a must watch for petrol heads.
Finally someone else Dropped the Engine out, still attached to the Front Subframe. I used to do that, when Ever I needed to Take my Mini Engine's out.
No faffing about with Engine Hoists. Just get a Couple of mates to lift the Body over the Engine.
Ya just can't do it if u still have an Hydrospastic (Hydrolastic) system. It so much easier. Unless you don't have Mate's..!! Then your just Sad.!!
Great video guys..!! 😎
the car world in a nutshell:
-why do that?
-because why not
why? mo powah babeh!
44 more years to go.
TURBO YODA HAS A NAME?!? AL? *mind blown*
Not sure if sarcasm, but his name has been used in several episodes.
1970 mini cooper s black hooning up a road drove over a silent cop ripped off the muffler lol great times lol , grandfather now and watching my son and grandsons designing and enjoying cars time rolls on lol love this show mate
