Where did the other half of Wesley go?!?! 😂 Great to see you working on yourself AND cars. Looking forward to more videos!
Haha it's a bit of an improvement! Not quite half but a good 50lbs. Thanks for the support!
Right? I want to know his diet so I can try it
@@WesleyKaganI was about to comment as well. Looking good dude!
@@WesleyKaganthat’s a massive amount, congrats and keep at it!!
Work it,@@WesleyKagan !!!
You know it's a righteous project when the guy making it is using Baja Blast as cutting fluid on his mill.
Forever referring to my Be-Cool as Baja Blast now.
Most underrated channel on RUclips.
HE’S BACK WITH MORE MADNESS!!!! Hell yeah
I'm back!
I was brought to this guy when he was Free valving a harbour freight motor...and ive always stayed subscribed. Dude is amazing. Also, congrats on the weight loss man. You look great.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Epic! Humour, lathes, mills, V12 and noise! Look forward to the reveal of the car
Thanks! I'm just as excited, believe me!
So I know you don't probably need validation from some random viewer, but for whatever it's worth, I really like your content. Your channel embodies that which I think RUclips should be all about. Maybe some day I can shake your hand and say "thank you".
I was just thinking yesterday that we hadn't heard from you in a while! Glad to see you're still at it. Looking good!
I'm around, Getting better at uploading videos on time!
I was waiting for a video from you like a child waiting Santa on christmas night
I promise I'm not going down anyone's chimney in the effort to make videos. I appreciate the support though!
Welcome back Wesley, looking fit my dude!
Appreciate it! Glad to be back!
This is awesome, but you know what’d make it next level? Variable length runners. Have another set of trumpets mounted on a plate above the current trumpets, with a solenoid/actuator to lift the whole plate off and allow the air to take the shorter path again.
I hate the edge and leaks they create. Give me a good, wet double clutch instead. A full shiny trumpet with valves would be great though.
I thought RUclips was getting kinda stale, turns out it just needed more of you! You're right up there with superfastmatt, fantastic work!
Love to see brass used like this. Form and function matching beautifully.
Glad you like it!
WTG Wesley. This one had an impeccable sound track.
Thank you!
Music I’m out
That's a great looking throttle body conversion Wesley. Looking good yourself too! Nice to see you back, I can't wait to see what you're doing with the car!
Thanks! More to come, I’m excited also to work on it!
I think the best part about this is the price of all this information is $100...
youre providing hours of R&D for the cost of a nice dinner for 2. Insane.
Liked, Subbed.
Thanks! I even feel bad about the $100, but it’s if nothing more a nice round number
Can't wait for the next video.
honestly love how informative u are even if u fade out of existence for months at a time
I accidentally stumbled across your videos from a RUclips reel and Holly crap. What you’re doing is incredible. That V12 sounds like an old F1 car from back when they sounded like race cars, it’s music to my ears. I’m excited to see the project advance and hear your little one liners. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Hey man, fucking love this project and glad to see more videos.
I totally agree that a good video is better than an on time video, but given the necessarily large gaps between them, and the implicitly large amount of progress made, I think they would benefit a lot from more frequent and detailed recap/explanation segments.
I don't think I'm alone in saying I like hearing you talk about the project, even though you seem to shy away from it more and more in recent vids. If I wanted to watch build comps I'd go watch grind hard plumbing or something, I'm here because the engineering is really cool.
Either way keep it up and I'm excited to see what's next 👍
Love the updates. If it helps, i think videos being a bit more specific might help. Like this could have been one vid on getting the car started and another on going over the throttle bodies. I know that’d take more time to edit, but just a thought. Again, always stoked to see what you’ve been working on and your sense of humor is F-ing gold man. Keep it up!
Yeah, I've thought about it- I have this weird thing where I really like to make a video when I feel I've made enough progress on a project- Also, by putting everything into one it limits the "I need to make content" crunch a little. I'm trying to find a nice balance, and I think hindsight 20/20 two ten minute videos, one last month and one this month, would've been better.
Good point about the crunch bit. As long as you’re doing well and not burning up in your garage (least not without filming it), we’re stoked to see what you’ve been up to.
I’d just love to hear so much more detail about each step! For example - those trumpets are amazing and I’d love to hear more about the process and the forming tool etc! You just smashed them out and breezed over the success like you’d just made beans on toast! Dude! These are mad skills and we’d love to learn from you more, so please spell out the technique more for us trying to cling onto your coat tails!! 😊
Amazing video - just wish it was nearer to 3hrs long! 😅
Thanks dude! (Going back to watch it again 3 more times!)
You sir are an artist, those are beautiful!
Thanks!
Quality content as always Wesley! Looking forward to the next instalment!
That thing looks and sounds SICK!!! Great work!!
Great work, this came out beautiful, love the video.
Hello Wesley
Nice to see you working again on your project.
I'm glad you came back on today! May the force be with you
Awesome work. Great looking setup.
Can’t wait for the next video! Really nice work you’re doing!
Love this! I'm obsessed the M120 series of engines and the sound of them in their different guises, especially in a later Zonda.
That sounds SICK! Can't wait to see what the bodywork is going to look like.
Yes! Thank you for an update!
Thanks, Wesley. Out of this world, as usual!
I'm from France and was regularely checking your channel waiting for some news. Always some really impressive work, and I also appreciate your sense of humour.
So great to be able to realise your ideas in working form. Go you!
I’m so glad you’re back!! Awesome project!
Always love your videos, well worth the wait (take as long as you need brother)
I appreciate that!
I think that is pretty sick! I continue to look forward to future videos.
I am entirely too excited for how this project evolves in the coming months, love your work my dude!
Is it just me or did you video quality drastically improve? All seriousness, the shots, the colors, the music, the audio. Its simply amazing
11:41 a couple of those trumpets are loose - they leap up a bit when it starts up. Perhaps glue them in so you don't lose them on the track? Glorious sound!
Looking good Wesley! Nice to see of my favorite engines getting some proper ITBs!
i regret not being able to watch this sooner and envy your work space and work itself. keep up the great job!
Good to see you back, youre looking great
Great work Wesley! Can't wait to see the next upload!
Videos from are always so awesome to see on my feed. i always drop everything I do to make sure they get watched
Very nice work on the ITB's. They are a very neat looking solution.
Another really top notch video Wesley. I particularly enjoyed the machining sequences, and how you edit them to sync with the music, very satisfying. I appreciate the challenging nature of what you are doing here, yet you make it look easy, and take it in stride, with good humor 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thanks for letting us know about the plastic weld. I'd love an ITB inline 6 even.
This is so cool, can't wait to see the car!
awesome as always
Thank you!
Seeing the brass, the aluminium and the black nylon parts all together it reminded me of Pagani.
Love what you create and how you do it.
About once a month is great for me.
Really great work, appreciate your videos. Thank you
great engineering skills sir - loving the velocity stacks forming tool.....clever thinking
So glad ive found your channel. Im taking on an m120 project also 🤙
Man it seems like you’re really making great progress in many respects! Your shop is looking great too!
Love seeing your videos when they pop into my feed but don’t feel obligated to release videos on a certain schedule. Film, edit and release videos whenever you want. We are just happy that you’re kind enough to take us along for the ride!
Also want to say that engine looks absolutely awesome.
That thing sounds like its pretty rowdy! It's going to be awesome!
The magician is back. If you broke your videos into 20 second chunks, then made a 15 minute video of each chunk, it would still be incredibly interesting and would look a lot less like witchcraft. Ah, what the hell, strap in because we're going for a ride with Wes... Massive respect for your skills, hope you're having a heap of fun.
Fantastic sound out of that engine.
BEAUTIFUL Work
Incredible as always, you were a big inspiration in making a custom supercharger build for my bmw! Keep it up!
Great job! It's really coming along!
And always glad to support Charity! 😉
Great work as usual
well done. very Nice craftsmanship.
Your work is fascinating, seeing it come together and you just make something new so it works.
Thank you!
There's car build channels and then there's your content. The new look of the video (and yourself) are a great improvement.
Omg he is back and every time is looking better than ever!!!
I have had JB weld blocking a pathway in the mouth of my throttle body for going on 8 years now with no issues so far! Knock on wood haha! Awesome to see you back at it! Man i wish i had a lathe, cnc machine and a plasma table in my garage haha!
Love your channel and the content. Keep it up!
You're one of my favorite creators on RUclips right now even accounting for your upload schedule, I'm always stoked to see what you have in store next!
Also congratulations on the weight loss, you look great man! This project keepin' you young! haha
Really nice to see you upload again. Also the camera work improved a lot compared to your earlier videos. Keep it up!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Love your videos - not sure what you do - but I’m locked fascinated every second of the video!
always happy days when I see new Wesley stuff, all best from Poland mate! haha
dude, so glad to see this project back on my feed!
Dude how have not got 10 million subs?? Your videos are so interesting, really enjoying them. The sound of that V12! 😲😍😍😍Loved the “Charity” comment at the beginning, made me spit my tea out laughing. 😂
Blessings from Dorset UK.🙏😎👍🏻
Loving your work, Wesley
Thanks!
I'm impressed with the fit and finish here. Kudos on the design 👏
Glad you like it!
Man! That’s sounds wicked!
wow !! nice job!!
Dude, congratulations on the simply insane achievements you do on a regular basis. I aspire to have a shop that makes things at least half as well as you do. Also, congrats on the weight loss! Looking awesome!
Hes back! Amazing.
This is awesome, bravo
Simply masterfull, a true mad genius!
You've done an amazing job. So impressive.
Thank you!
That engine sounds wicked!!! Fantastic engineering design and construction as always.
Thank you very much!
Love this keep this up beautiful. Can’t wait to see the next video.
I've got an old BMW "oilhead" R1100 Boxer, they have a (BING) throttle body with injector, pretty sleek, but rather long.
And not 46mm large.
Anyhow, nice to see a video again, cuts, music, sound etc. always improving !
love what youre doing bro keep it up
Appreciate it!
Love it, love it, love it!
Insane dude
Can't wait to see this racing down the track
Your humor is so interesting i love it.
A work to be appreciated, congratulations.
looks great, all of it
One off the coolest build's on RUclips 🤩
Thank you for your vidjayo! I enjoyed it very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations, takes time to work at this level. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks! Yeah, a lot of hours for sure.
Been watching you forever! Happy to see another video :D
More to come!
great work wesley, sorry if you covered it and i missed it, but you should consider peening the screws holding the butterflies in so you don't accidentally pioneer a metal injection system
Good point- I used some blue Loctite, but that's a better idea considering heat.
you might just be my favorite channel on youtube. i think the freevalve project and the 60s f1 car are tied for my favorite projects
