B&M 250 Supercharger Rebuild: Carb Adapter, Sandblasting, and Painting (78 Firebird Ep.26)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- The set of supercharger parts we bought off of eBay didn't include a few important things like the carburetor adapter plate that bolts to the top of the case and allows carburetors to be attached, and we're certainly going to need one. It was a tough time even finding one, and we still had to make some changes to make it work. We also have to clean up all of the major components, which means a trip to the blasting cabinet to take off the old paint and years of use. Finally, we'll paint the individual components to get them ready for reassembly.

Whoa, we're being spoiled with videos!
I love it what a surprise 🤣 🙌
🤨
Your diy machining skills is something that not many people have.
It's a matter of good ole "Can Do" attitude.
I started watching when you installed that supercharger like 4 or 5 years ago, just wanna say man, you've been making great content for a really long time, really educational and helpful, we appreciate you man keep it up 🔥
If you have to cut aluminium with cutting discs get yourself an old candle and cut into it occasionally when cutting. Makes the cuts much easier and makes the discs last way longer as they don’t chatter and clog. Works with sanding discs and flap wheels aswell just make sure to clean afterwards especially if your ever gonna weld the area. Nice work
Wow, expert grinder work. Nik Blackhurst would be proud.
project binky forever
Looks awesome. That being said you may find you need to change the rotor seals after running for a bit. The factory machine finish aids in sealing the rotor seals to the case. Keep an eye on boost dropping over time. May mean a seal replacement is needed.
Literally the straightest angle grinder cut I've ever seen, made by a HF angle grinder... truly a God amongst men.
I’ve been in a bad spot in life for a few years but I’m im starting to do stuff again and enjoy life and it makes my day coming back to your channel that I used to watch when I was younger and five years later your still my favorite automotive channel. A lot of things I’ve learned about vehicles came from you so thank you for sharing your project’s stories with us
Yay. I gotta say live the style of your videos. Calming to watch and you explain stuff so well. I’m gonna do a “how to” on painting my truck with tractor paint and I’m probably gonna do it similar to your videos. I’m looking forward to the new videos that you upload
Self etching primer is a great idea for aluminum to get the paint to adhere
Wow, great work with that grinder. I think I would have used a table saw to make those cuts. I don't trust my grinder skills. LOL
Finally, a video where someone makes a gasket. When I see people say "I paid $XXX for this gasket" or "I'll just have to reuse the gasket as it isn't available any more" I just think they're nuts. 🤷🏻♂️
A good primer that I think you should look into is the duplicolor self etching primer. I use it regularly in a restoration shop, it adheres super well to pretty much everything, and it's just a surefire way to make sure your paint sticks good. Though what you did here should also last a good long time!
Only a 20 minute video?!! I could watch this for four hours!! Ha ha
I like and agree that blasting all the surfaces was perfect. The gaskets will actually seal better now.
I'm getting intense flashbacks of all of the times I "saved money" by buying used parts and abandoned projects. Whatever you do, don't start counting up your receipts or time to get that stuff right. 😆
I'm also sitting here with my jaw a gap over how straight of a cut you were able to make with a grinder. It would have looked like I swung an angry beaver at it if I had tried that. FWIW, actual machine shop labor isn't as expensive as a lot of people think it is. I would imagine a "whenever you can fit it in and it's not going on a spaceship" project of that size wouldn't be more than $100. I may also be known to chuck a mill cutter into my drill press... allegedly.
...I also feel like some other guy just made a video about painting car parts. 😎😁
Personally I cannot decide if inner surface should or should not be blasted from technical stand point...but final look is awesome.
You have bigger balls than me my friend. I would not have attempted that with the grinder, I would have just bit the bullet and paid to have it machined.
Oh man I hope you’re right about sanding the inner surface
This is an absolutely bonerific episode. MAN I cannot wait to see/hear this on the car.
If you're die grinding aluminum, keep spraying your bit down with WD40 - it slows down the material from clogging the flutes.
kudos to having steady hands - I would have destroyed it
Between you and ole Ronald fanger I'm bout to go nuts seriously you two guys do this type of you tube the best we just need more content
Hahaha man this super charger is something I would accidentally end up buying. Thanks for sharing I'm glad you are making videos again. Been missing you since the cross country road trip video.
Yep that's seems like my luck as well
It always rare parts or hard to find
pieces anyway it looking good can't wait to hear it in action
Paused the video a few minutes in... the carb adapter is a really good opportunity for 3d printing as plastic would kill the heat soak between the blower and carbs, easily custom made to fit, and I know with blowers putting weak points to act as mechanical fuses for safety in event of over boosting is a big deal, and a plastic component would work quite well I imagine in that regard
2 hours @ 200°F also cures that paint out nicely if you don't want to wait 3-5 days
I don't think that sandblasting working surfaces, matting surfaces and place for bearing is good idea, you loose power and tight fit.
I would have bet the supercharger lost some efficiency due to how you repolished the housing, but it doesn't look like it was built very well by the factory…
That's a wondeful job, Mr.! Congrats and thank's for share knowledge!
Wow, what a massive amount of tedious work. Add to that the filming and editing.. Your content is top quality, thanks so much for the effort.
Rather than cutting the long sides why not trim down the ribs I do t think they were structural hanging up that high
For aesthetic reasons and some sense of preserving the original look I didn't want to modify the outside of the case. But you're right, that would certainly work as well!
Them are some steady hands brother.
Wooow (Owen Wilson's vocie), 2 videos that are not 2 years apart !!!!
Looking good Fuzz, enjoying the latest spurt of uploads.
Woooo! More fuzzy dice vids!
Looks really nice, I think that Scotch-Brite & WD40 will be just fine on that blower housing.
Nice freehand cutting!!!
not bad. see you next time.
more content, please
Love getting on RUclips and seeing that you posted. Love the vids
These videos are fantastic can't wait to see more
Maybe I'm being dense but wouldn't it have been easier to trim the tips of the ribs down?
For aesthetic reasons and some sense of preserving the original look I didn't want to modify the outside of the case. But you're right, that would certainly work as well!
@@FuzzyDiceProjects Trimming the fins would enable use of common adapter plates in the future.
dammit just really enjoying the video and it ends :(
Here he is hes alive
Amazing work cutting those straight lines without machine shop equipment.
Been watching this stuff for what feel like my whole life but it never disappoints
nice more videos
A really satisfying episode!
Looking good the inside of the blower is worth keeping a good eye on as you say. The machine line is an odd thing to spot but if it worked for the last owner, it should work OK now.
the blower will never be efficient...it will work somewhat but the inner arc is compromised
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 mmmm yes, that's true. I guess he is going to use it and find out all the issues when it wont move much air.. 👍👍
Great idea about the plastic caps for stands to paint,
Honestly the cutting you did just adds to the coolness of it all
Whoa I love this new uploading schedule 😎
love the vids man, you can tell you put alot of time into them, thanks.
Running the discs in a bar of soap helps it to not get gummed up by the aluminum.
You could have done that with a router or a table saw... circular saw even.
Could have done it with a hammer and chisel as well! Plenty of ways to move metal and I used one that I am familiar/comfortable with
@@FuzzyDiceProjects Not the direction I was going, but your comments about aluminum grinding dust, just made me think of the most common and safest ways to do it without a mill, and still get a nice clean cut. If hammer and chisel suits you, I'm sure it will get views too...
Wow that supercharger is gonna look sooooo good! You really did a beautiful job cleaning up the parts.
I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks for making them.
Since it was aluminum, couldn't you of just ran the adapter over a tablesaw?
If he had one...
Nice to wake up to a new episode!
I also love Golden Grahams!!!
I love this channel so much
I would love to see it run it
I appreciate the time stamps on your videos. I've been watching several of your builds over the years, and I think this blower has been the most challenging and time consuming process so far. But if you can get this blower to live happily with the 454, it will all be worthwhile. I salute your dedication.
Makes you appreciate hard work.
I tried to double Like!
Glad to see more videos
respekt on your name
In woodworking they have a tool called a router...
Yep, I've used handheld ones for some metalworking too! But what I have is a tool called a grinder lol
Nice work!
Very nice job! I remember in High School a guy in the next town had a Dodge Charger with a Blower on it and he use to use Cereal boxes cause his 671 came off a bus! the way you made yours was just how my dad taught me when I was little.Its cool to watch this cause I think your in Maryland and I lived there from 1979-1988 and still have a tun of friends there.
Only because we actually had a bus with a 6-71 in it do I feel compelled to mention it's "6-71", not 671, especially if it came from an actual Detroit Diesel engine. 6 cylinders, 71 cubic inches per cylinder, is now Detroit nomenclature of the era worked (and the 71 series was manufactured for like 80 years, which is why that nomenclature is still popular today). X-71 were inline motors, Xv71 were the Vs. The aftermarket sort of fudges it now with things like "14-71" sized blowers, where there was never such an engine.
Anyhow... Please excuse my pedantry. 😉
oh hey I'm in the credits now LOL
It's great to see you continuing that 454 build with the supercharger, it's been a while. Looking forward to your series it's always enjoyable to watch cheers👍👍👍
It would be really interesting to know how many hours this supercharger rebuild takes. Multiply that by a fair working wage and see how much (if anything) the satisfaction of rebuilding and fixing something old that most people would be scared to even take the lid off, costs or saves vs just buying a new blower
It's something i am currently struggling with in my own projects. Lol.
I respect the DIY machining but honestly just find a machine shop with some manual mills, they probably coulda whacked that down for $60 and saved you a bunch of time and done a much cleaner job.
Damn, I must say, you are extremely skillful with anglegrinder. Hats down.
Thank you for the content I wait patiently for content from y’all probly because you have interesting content and an alluring voice 😂
WOWOWOWOWOW!!!! GUY'SSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!! WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS HUH???? LOOK NOW I KNOW AND I REALLY KNOW AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE A HELL OF A LOT INVESTED IN THIS BLOWER AT THIS POINT BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT YET THAT IF THIS BLOWER IS THIS RARE THAT YOU CAN NOT EVEN FIND A CARB ADAPTER FOR IT, WOULD IT NOT BEEN BETTER TO JUST BUY A NEW ONE GUY'S??? AND I SAY THIS CUZ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT BLOWER BREAKS DOWN FOR ANY REASON YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND PARTS ON IT LIKE YOU WOULD A NEW BLOWER YA KNOW?????? JUST SAYIN!!!!! THANKS, F.M.V.
Crab adapter
Self etching primer would’ve helped out with the painting process. Good work though. Looking forward to the next video.
I really shouldn't be up right now but I guess I can stay up another 18 minutes
Those angle grinder cuts are truly amazing, and I also have a question that I have seen a few others talk about as well. Your house seems to be pretty nice, so I really wonder how you afford it.
Just the fact the adapter you wound up having to use had matching ribs in line matching the casting of the B&M you have is amazing. Even having to do adaptations that's a hell of a find.
Entertaining as always dude 😊 I will say though that from an engineering perspective I wouldn't recommend sand blasting any machined mating surface just cos they're machined to give a nice smooth surface to seal against.
Thx
I'm not an expert but I worried about you sand blasting the inside of the case.
I wanna point out that for aluminium you can use a Diamond /agressive wheel less dust more cuts!
Great video. Your style of video is awesome, keep them coming.
Sand blasting the inside of the blower was a bold move. Curious to see how it works out.
Hey man try and use a carbide burr that’s made for aluminum, that have single flutes and do not dig as much as the dual fluted ones made for steel
Outstanding work!! Can't wait to see it all together.
A VERY satisfying video. Great work!
why do you sound a bit like the narrator from Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations
great job, keep it up
5:00 min, That takes a seriously steady hand.
End results are awesome, but I am curious as to whether you considered trimming back the ribs along the edge of the blower case instead of trimming the adapter plate. Regardless, looks great!
I really don't know if it was a good idea to blast the inside of that case
I need to meet you one of these days lol. You're fairly local to me and I love your content
5:00 I was watching Linus, and tought he was making fin for a heatsink. smh
Love your videos man.
