    What is Ecrew? When I had to uproot and move to Indiana, there was a car community called Bcrew (B for Bloomington, Indiana). These guys became my family. Instead of partying on the weekends, I was working on cars- and I loved it. Since starting youtube, I have started what I call Ecrew. It's not supposed to be some childish "Logang squad." It's a community where you get to take 10min out of your day and be involved in a build, but more importantly it's a family.

  • @kevinaustin9169
    @kevinaustin9169 3 года назад +3

    Hi Emelia I hope you read this I love your content and how hard you keep pushing yourself. I know you've talked to Cleetus before but if you will take me meats and doing the ignition cut out your shift RPM like you have to do for Phoenix in theory you should be able to no lift shift without the clutch. Kevin from ksr did it for Leroy and in turn the shiftes are three 2 four times faster and I think it's something worth looking into. When you do the ignition cuts at your shift RPM all you have to do is make sure you have the right milisecond cut at ur desired shift rpm for the ignition. Then go full send. LOL but just FYI I think Kevin kosor is using something between a 70 2 100 millisecond delay ignition cut and Leroy picked up a significant amount of time for Cleetus. But the information is out there I highly doubt these things ever get read but I'm incredibly proud of how far you've came in the fact that you never give up it's a big inspiration to the younger generation to follow your dreams and never give up no matter what preservation is key in life. So keep doing what you do girl I can't wait to see how fast you go next. Ecrew stand up and give this girl some respect! Church 💯

    You can hear the clutches slipping in the upper gears. Needs more plates. Might need a bigger basket though since I think we saw in a previous video that Dodson already added extra plates. This is a trick we've been doing in motorcycles for decades and we do to GTR's. You can only increase the holding pressure so much. Might also need to upgrade the pump. When we build GTR transmissions, we upgrade the pump.

  • @SoaSaarSanders

    Advanced Tips:
    Use Royal Purple oils 🛢
    Motor oil:
    •XPR 10W 60
    Trans:
    •75w 140
    The secret ingredient:
    Save the ash from Sandy's smokes.
    Throughly mix the ashes into the oil, like you would for paints. Throughly mix it. Throughly mix it. That's key.
    It will increase the temp that the oil can contain, by increasing the Carbon content. Which makes the oil stronger.
    -
    Or find someone that makes Graphene Oils.
    -
    Because you're running too thin of oil for the application on ur vehicles. So it's going to overheat. Thin oils have too much "water content" making them overheat easier. And making them run out of the engine past the seals under boost.
    Also possibly warping parts in the Aluminum blocks overtime when they overheat.
    -
    Liquid Nitrogen is also a smart use for Radiators. Cooling.
    Some people use it in computers, to reduce heat and maintain performance.
    -
    Also, for the Corvette trans. Someone needs to custom fabricate some trans parts. Carbon Metals. Mixing Carbon into the forging/casting processes. Making the metals stronger.
    You can Google Metals and materials with high melting points. Graphene is best currently. But not many people if any make engine/vehicle parts with it.
    So Carbon is the next best "common use" material that can be custom fabricated. Which is also rarely used.
    Ash from smokes is a Solid Carbon source, since it burns at a very high temp.
    For engine blocks, engine parts, brakes, body, etc..
    Better than Carbon Fiber which is a weave, and is not strong under tension.
    Carbon Forging is better, more reliable with metals like Aluminum. So it doesn't add weight like Iron Blocks. Adds more strength to the Aluminum.

    If you have to rebuild transmission it would the best to change the rear main seal and upgrade the transmission and torque if possible. If it's a manual replace the clutches with racing grade clutches.

    It always throws me off when they say Famoso is in Bakersfield because I live on the edge of Bakersfield and Famoso is still 30 minutes away in McFarland. I know it's for recognition and whatnot, but being from here and often deciding that Famoso is farther than I want to drive to watch some racing it just sounds weird. I wish it was in Bakersfield, I miss hearing bald eagles in the distance ever since they took our circle track and moved it half an hour out of town

    Well if you looked in the manual, they say to add 2 quarts of transmission fluid, before taking it to the track. The Factory would ask for a break in then they would fill it at the dealership. The thing is each quart is $50 ... there are 4 bolts on top, which your not supposed to touch. Dealership techs are not trained to work on that service.

    • @ChasingDifferentAdventures
      @ChasingDifferentAdventures 3 года назад

      @@airgliderz Well the thing is to fill it it with the fluid, you can't just go to jiffy lube and have them do it because even there they are not able to perform that service. The filler bolt is on top, though there is no indication which one it is. If the retaining nut falls from 1 of the 4 transmission has to be towed to the dealership and if driven it transmission would be junk and if they find out I was tampered. Warranty won't pay for it.
      The 1st C8 Corvette went to service station at the dealership. It fell off the lift, because the engine and transmission are in the rear. GM techs were not used to to new weight distribution, and on tire rotation, the tech removed the front wheel 1st an the rear end fell off with the lift arm cutting the rear corner panels. There's even footage of this event in RUclips of the the aftermath. A learning, new training was required for all C8 service.

      @@airgliderz C8 was an uncharted place... that was the main reason GM stayed away. The unknowns, during research and development under winter snow ❄ conditions. 2 C8 Corvettes Overheated, they used to burn when the engine was in front. Due to the very small inlet in front, and putting the engine in the rear didn't help either. They should have never made the convertible, and added a roof scoop.

    Is it MiMi or the Grim Regal? I like MiMi much better! With the right trans/tune and gearing, she will def pull 9s. Grandma would be so proud. For the C8...I'm watching this C8 in particular. This is what I inspire to do. Work with supercars just like yours. After many years of contemplating what I want as a career, the GM brand has sealed my future. As you were running the first couple passes I couldn't help but think, "does she have a GDS2? I'm sure the data logging would be of much help." Phoenix and MiMi are definitely to record breaking machines and I'm happy to see the progress you're making with both 🤙
