this dude is doing a small company worth of labor all by himself ,much respect dude,
feel like koenigsegg should hire him .
Bro a v10 in a single exit exhaust , you will have to do 3 to 3.5 inch exhaust when you merge the two pipes for the single exit , if you leave it in 2.5 its gonna lower performance , not enough room for it to exhaust 10 cilinders
I'm not really feeling the universal exhaust...this monster deserves to breathe freely through twin exits. Also, I think twin exhaust would look far better with the diffuser you plan to put on.
Man, I'm excited for this to be done! It's going to be super gnarly and turn heads like crazy at SEMA. Keep up the awesome content!
Would have loved to so see an m5 style quad exhaust. Not jdm of course but I think it would have been a better hint to what’s under the hood
agree...give props to the M division
JDM? German
He's referring to the fact that the 240Z is a JDM Car
side exit would be sick tho
You drove right my my house heading to GBE I go there for all my exhaust I was going to comment and tell you to go to there for exhaust great place love the videos as always!
You repeatedly amaze me and my bros with your ability to solve issues with THIS build. You seam to have a nack for fabrication and solving whatever is next. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO !!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE CHANNEL !!!!
I love this series, a lot of "here, I'm gonna build my dream car even though everyone says this is too much, I'm gonna do it." Keep up the progress!
What about a sheet of aluminum for the reservoir?? I think it would look nice also close the engine bay and prevent dust...
would make the enginebay look so much cleaner and replace the ugly mounting points it has atm. greate idea!
My thoughts too. Aluminum covers on either side of the engine would hide the brake booster, coolant reservoir, etc. Also give great show car look.
Im with these guys, a sheet of metal framing the reservoir would look sick
I was thinking the same but in sheet metal so later it can be painted to match the cage. With cut outs for the reservoir cap and brake booster caps.
GBE MANDREL is great. I picked up some pipe last week from them. Super nice folks and even made me a piece on the spot.
I watch your videos before I got to school, it's such a good wake up
this is an insane build. when you told us the rough draft of what you were gonna do, i was a bit sceptical but you prooved us wrong bigtime :D big props
Keep going Chris, you are showing us that anything is achievable in our own garage with enough time and patience. (And a bit of luck thrown in!! 😉)
Bifb in Oxford!
You drove right by my work. I was looking at an old 240z at that same shop a few days ago! I just started following your channel last week, awesome build you have going!
Instead of calling it the 240z it shod be the 240m
How about M240z? Or is that to similar to the M240i?
A custom Bagde that fuses both styles from the 240 and the M logos would BE FIRE
@@realitatsblind3808 Umm 240M sound simpler since its looks like a 240 bur with the powertrain of a BMW M
Or maybe ZM240
M5z
A pair of matching alloy tanks for the coolant and PS fluid wouldn't cost too much and could be made to fit the space you have that odd shaped tank now.
Chris you are amazin I’ve loved this show since day one I love the DIY Everything aspect and I really love that you always try stuff even if you’re not sure exactly how it’s going to work. You’re a true DIY guy and I hunk it’s awesome love how much you and the channel have progressed always love the content and keep killing it man
Should mount the reservoir with a curved piece that wraps around
that's what I was about to suggest! get some smaller steel tubing and bend it around the res to match the frame.
Flat steel bar about 80mmx3mmxlenght. Other end goes near brake reservoir and bar goes near coolant tank to other side of the tank. other edge is straight and other side cut with plasma to same shape as coolant tank. Hope you undrestand, its hard to write english :)
I was about to suggest the same. A nice curved piece welded on either side would look great. That or a partial/full sheet in the triangle.
I can't help thinking that it might just be a sensible precaution to tape up the velocity stacks until you actually need them open, or some other protective measure.
isn't the standard stack protectors just a pack of tennis balls?
The bare ITBs have been open the whole time and got slag in them. He didn't give a shit haha, I hope he scores the cylinder walls
brooksman10 Damn, dude, we're trying to support the build
brooksman10 You know he clean the throttle bodies before he starts the car up...
@@TheBrawnyOak To be fair, he never covered them even when people brought it up until some shanty piece of cardboard was on there and he never cleaned em... unless it was off camera, but if so, he didn't say anything.
Chris, one thing to think about is I'm pretty sure the transmission won't come out of park if it senses the door is open (or.. non-existent). For instance, with the DCT box if you open your door while reversing into a parking spot it will bang the car into park as a safety precaution. Might be different on the M5, but with other BMW's with the DCT it's like that. Likely can be coded out I'm guessing. Just wanted to give you a heads up!
Correct and it will need to see the park brake position as well as the hood latches and trunk latch are all closed also.
I was thinking that. You can roll very slow but it'll slam you into park if the door isn't closed
This issue can easily be coded away. -"Norwegian Eric"
Erik Fjellheim Great news, I know you can do a lot with coding but thought this level would be in the software and not in the code options. Having you helping this build is going to make a world of difference. I think you are going to be busy figuring this one out fully.
@@NISMOSkylineGTR Good deal! Was hoping that was the case. Thanks for helping Chris man, you're a great dude!
Build the brace out of round tubing with washers for the tabs to mount to. Make the tubing connect between the two mounting points on the tank, it will make the mounting points flow more fluid with the lines of the strut mount and upper tube of the frame.
This build needs dual exhaust!!
Instead of those tabs what about running a flat bar loop that will run under the lip of the reservoir on the outside and tack it to the tubing that runs between the engine and reservoir. Forming a cradle of sorts. Thanks for the rad content, watching from South Africa!
Are you gonna service the engine since it has the bearing issue?
we’re not sure of the state of the bearings but yes we will change them when it’s out
@@BisforBuild thanks for the reply, great work on the build
For the reservior it should be a single curvy bracket that follows the shape of the side of it, attached at the ends to the tubes and triangulated to the corner of the suspension top mount!
I would really wish for longer videos :)
Can't wait to see it at SEMA! 👍
Hi B! You need 2x 3" to make the right power and sound, 2.5 is kind a smaal.
The hose you had as a leftover is conected to 13907835364, gas ventilation valve.
Great update mate just wait to see this driving and rolling on its own power
cant you just clear coat the bars? those welds are too beautiful to be painted.
scotch brite and clear coat would be cool :)
Chris P Well Chris said himself that all steel will be painted.
I agree
I believe if you rust convert the metal, just to make sure no rust will form/will continue to form, clean it up and then clearcoat
Fun fact Chris, c130 aircraft use v-bands on tons of components, including engine bleed air lines!
The steering turn angle is so much more on your design than the standard underwhelming turning circle of 240z
Man I love what you are doing and do appreciate your work. I have learn so much from you thank you 🙏 I’m excited to see this 240z
I stand so corrected on the build
cool project and nice job guys it's coming along hope to see it moving soon
If I remember correctly, Motor Trend Engine Masters did a video on whether x-pipe or h-pipe had better performance, and I'm pretty sure the performance difference was very negligible.
Respect! much respect!thats what i feel as the process going on!
hell friggin yes chris you are gonna be in time for sema, the early gang blesses you
The front end looks sick you should make the hood and fenders open up like a konnigsegg that would looks so sick
You should have a small piece of the same round tubing bent and welded to the existing tubing with tabs coming off the added piece to mount the reservoir.
A triangular shape to the tabs would look better. All of the metalwork you have there is angled. I think the reason it looks a bit dorky is that it’s straight flat bar. Just a thought, you’re doing a great job andI can’t wait to see the end result.
make a u pipe around the coolant tank. loving the build
use a hollowed out pipe as a strut support bar AND a coolant rez
speedhunters-wp-production.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_1881.jpg
At 12:30 keep the tabs but design them to match the “flow” of the frame if you get what i mean, that way they stand out but not like a sore thumb😎
My Peugeot 206 has the same sort of joint in the exhaust from factory. It seems to work pretty well even if the rest of the exhaust has rusted away at least twice since I've owned it.
Favorite build on RUclips
Looks amazing my dude 👍🏽
Keep the reservoir where it is but mount it by bending a pipe or metal strip around it like a belt under the slight lip it has and have 2 tabs come off the belt for the mounting bolts. This should allow it to slide out if you ever needed it to. Um I probably didn't explain it well but hopefully you understand. PS love the videos
Love the build
enjoying the build. The ITBs are/will be awesome on the V-10. cover 'em please!
Solid work dudes!
for the tabs, maybe one piece of metal bent in a gentle curve and then welded to where they are now/
Mz45 should be your brand for this car man, this is epic!
You could put a plate with clecos so it's removable and then cut outs for the rad res.
Smashed it ten times!!
Don't forget to attach the rest of the front subframe. 2:41 you're pointing at the gap.
I remember how long it took tavarish to make the exhaust on his lambo. It doesn’t involve a tt kit in your case but if you manage to do it in a few days my mind will be blown.
Hey Chris. First off I'll have to say much respect to you guys pulling this off and taking us with you on this journey.
I have a question regarding the FAC. You only used the first four mounting points for bolting the carrier to the body. What about the two rear mounting points facing downwards? What are your plans for them? They would help as a support distributing the loads under heavy breaking.
Love the content man keep up the amazing work love this build and cant wait to see it finished
Use that round stock you used for the bottom of coolant bottle and bend it will look much cleaner
It’s looking great 👍
I guess itś worldwide migraine day, I had one too. Hope you feel better soon, Eric!
Just take one oft these smaller diameter pipes and bend it around the Reservoir (like almost a half circle) so you can weld it with both ends to the inner pipe
omg imagine the exhaust coming out just after the front wheels
You could make a radiator reservoir.... that would look awesome!
Hope u complete it in time i cant wait for the result!!
I feel like a nice thin tubing in an S like shape going from the outer frame piece the the inner piece would look very nice and tie the tube frame look into the cooling system mounts.
Loving the daily uploads
Why not cut a triangle of 1/4" plate that profiles round the frame tubes and the tank and picks up both mounting points, would look much better and serve another function of forming a strengthening gusset and could be done on the other side to match and keep thing fairly symmetrical.
Yo make the muffler go out of the left taillight opening/housing. that would look sick. its a crazy build as it is, a little more craziness won't hurt ;)
Nice merge collector!
Love these daily videos.
You got it man!
Man l can't wait till your baby is ready for paint watching every night anticipating the finished product it's killing me, lol
Keap up the crazy build Cris i love them all ;)
20 past one am here in Cyprus with a glass of brandy and a Iqos cig watching another B is for build 😀
Will mounting that pillow block for steering onto the engine mount not transfer a load of vibration into steering??
Alex Hill 8.54 into vid.. He’s mounting it onto the engine mount which is welded to frame. I appreciate the engine is damped via the rubber but it’s still mounted in an area that’s likely to be high vibration. I’d just unsure if mounting that close would have any negative effect on steering feel. He re did those mounts as he was worried how it would make car feel, it would be ironic to then feel it through steering wheel.
Alex Hill I agree, on the previous episode where he said he was going to mount it, it looked better. Just now it’s that much closer to engine, and being on the actual engine mount seems like a gamble. It may be fine, I suppose time will tell.
If your going to SEMA next year I can’t wait to meet you man! My car will be showcased then.
Can't wait to see that thing frying the tires :-)
Put a metal sheet over the res with a hole for the cap, it will look MUCH cleaner
I definitely think you need to take this into bmw for service one time when its finished and film it!
I hope one day he'll twin turbo it
Would be awesome but I don't think it's going to necessarily need the power
Supercharger is probably more practical. Can still easily make over 800 horse!
There is a supercharger kit for it.
Just a tune will make 200mph+
It's a 5 litre V10 putting out 500 bhp and 383 lb-ft of torque, a stage 1 re-map will take it to 530 bhp and 400 lb-ft roughly. Not a huge amount. It's already a 200 mph car, remember it's 500bhp in a 4012 lb/1819kg 5 series body. It's now a 500Bhp engine in a 1200kg body probably. So power to weight is 33% better, if you know what I mean.
do a dual exhaust, left and right.
it'll look sick
Xpipe doesn't add any performance over H, just a raspier higher pitched sound. You need to catch up on engine masters.
post link to the X vs H...id loke to see it
@@nevrcm3261 google it, engine masters exhaust comparison
Dave Nevrla i think they took it down, you need MTOD to watch anything motortrend now :/
@@gravytrain420 www.dailymotion.com/video/x5s8nr8
@@peterm3159 thx. H-pipe and X-pipe minor improvement low RPM. Higher RPM X-pipe minor advantage over H-pipe.
X-pipe "sounds meaner"
For the M V-10, HIGH revving...8,000+, X-pipe would be my choice for a bit more juice, but optimize the sound
u should out body thick metal like the strut tower all the way to the body mold it in and dimle die it and make that resavoir fit in flush
Stacked exhaust pipes!!!!! Do it!
Not on a 240
O
O
I just want to see how your going to get the headlights to work with the old skool headlights and newer m5 wiring and bulbs
Gotta give eric some more talk time :)
Make a service panel that covers the brake booster and the coolant reservoir similar to the cover for the battery on a G35
Im not sure what kind of bearing you used for the steering, but i do thinj you need a second one to create a line fixation. Like this its gonna put some weird loads on a single bearing due to the angles of the steering axles when the wheels are on the ground and actually put some load on the system
Any fear of bad vibration in the steering wheel with the new mounting of the steering shaft?
Early squad where you at
Spekticon we're here bruh!
Im late..lol
It would be more work, put maybe like a quarter circle that runs along the side of the reservoir so it basically hugs the contour of the piece. It would go with the curved pieces of the frame.
I'd do a U shape bracket that's one piece and runs through the two bolts... Might look better than two different brackets.
please put some rags over the velocity stacks. so much grinding etc going on nearby.
Dude I love your videos so much I'm only 15 but I really wanna be a mechanic when I'm older I love your vids keep em coming✌
Aim higher kid, engineering.
Good knowing im not the only 15 year old here
Word of advice:
On modern cars a lot of stuff is done with computers.
If you get to do internships (in school or in the holidays) look for a workshop that also (maybe not exclusively) works on older cars.
It'll let you learn more mechanical stuff, and depending on the shop you might get to "dip your toes" into dying arts (like adjusting/synchronizing carburetors)
Don’t be a mechanic keep it as a hobby
Trust me.
Be a mechanic. Find a shop to mop at. They'll slowly throw you on jobs and you'll learn more than you ever would from an automotive school. That's what I did.
can you make a "sit in" bracket with the holes cut for the reservoir bottom to sit in? weld it on the inner roll bar closest to the engine on that corner
Plz plz plz add more reenforcement from shock tower to frame rails, your shock towers are literally only held up by 2 welds on 16ga steel.
I would do at least a 2.75" on that exhaust... 3" would be on it if it was up to me.. 2.5 is pretty damn small for that engine.
Awesome!
Put it where the accessory flap would go, that would be nice & clean
