I absolutely LOVE the copper, what a friggin great idea. It is so perfect, especially in the past/future fusion concept. Almost steampunk, though not as quirky, more realistic.
Just saw Mustie1 use copper also, he used it for the cooling circuit, works just fine, he barbed the ends of the pipe also to give the rubber pipes something to hold onto. Time will tell how it will hold up but i think it's quite strong. Cool content!
That looks really cool! I love the look of copper. If you apply the solder from the top the drip will end on the bottom and won't be seen. If you'd like to keep that shiny copper color you'll have to clear coat the pipe otherwise it'll turn green or brown when it oxidizes.
Love your Fiat vids. Reminds me of working on my 2005 MG TF 135. Engine water hoses split. Replacements were costly. Local shop fitted home radiator hoses for peanuts ! That was 2 years ago 👍😁🤔
Daniel San as someone who builds boosted motors you need to make a bead around where you rubber connection meets on the pipes for the clamps to hold onto or the rubber fittings are just going to blow off unless you are only going to use very low boost
while you have the distributor taken apart, you might as well pull it out and replace the seal at the bottom. On the other side of the engine, there is a brown wire that is the main power source for most of the car. The connector on it gets corroded, reducing the flow of electrons. Replace that wire. Replace your grounding strap or your clutch cable will become your grounding strap. Jon and the guys will have the parts you need.
All looking good in the layout! I can see the flex available in the piping at the intercooler outlet. Does one have to do the same at the engine intake to cope with engine movement?
It’s a great project. You shouldn’t have a problem getting really cool rims for it. I’m told the500fiat. Are same bolt patterns. The 124 uses a 13 -15 inch Bolt patterns is 4/98. Cromadora are rally rims Also all fiat 12 used same pattern .
yes i second that the copper does look great though i wonder how often its going to need polishing lol . many years ago i knew a guy who was thinking about making a copper exaust system for his car, wondering how it would sound. dont know if he did but would have been nice to hear it. not sure how long it would have lasted though
-Folks, David Long has NEVER completed a project. And he never will. The Diesel truck in the background? Sometime before next summer he will sell it, trust me-
Mixing copper and aluminium in a water loop is a REALLY bad idea. But if this is an air to air inter-cooler this doesn't matter of course. I'm no expert on intercoolers so... with only 2 pipes I assume it's air to air in this case. :)
Copper piping in an engine looks awesome.

Congrats on getting this far on your project Daniel son. We love you, man. Keep it up.
Ding! Love the copper! Just make sure it's safe from No Muffler Newton.
When the wizard retires you should definitely buy him out and continue this journey!
That garage will be expensive
@ and it will run as it does now making income to post it off.
No. He's better starting his own thing, or joining other people. No point in getting yourself in a huge amount of debt like that.

I want to see you and Junior Mint drive around in it when you're done.
Great channel!
I am glad you are getting sponsor support! Hard work paying off

Great job, Daniel! It’ll be awesome when you get it done.
Love the copper intercooler piping!!!
Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Bead roller will do what you want to the copper.

Sweet! Excited to see it running soon. That turbo is gonna sound so cool in that thing
This is a very popular classic cabriolet. This car has great handling.
I can't wait to you finish this beauty!!!
Amazing work - nice touches - Great Content. Thanks
It's looking pretty trick with the copper pipe!!!
I had an X19 back in the day and a turbo kit would've been perfect for that car.
keep at it!
Great video Daniel-San! Can’t wait to see it run
The copper looks good 👍🏻
This thing is going to be sick!
Steam punk piping is awesome 😎
Love the project.
Now I’m wondering if the copper will do a better job of transferring heat from the boost to the atmosphere, than aluminum does?

Copper looks amazing
Daniel San is the brains of the operation without him The Wizard would be lost.
I wonder how long before he goes back to Orlando....

I’d like to see the Turdbo do a high speed run. Nice and easy start, up to maximum everything. I bet it would go 150mph. Make history!
Love your knowledge.
Cool video and I really like the Jag XJ-S right behind it!
This thing is lookig so cool

Good job
more content !!
That inter cooler looks a little like a still
He just needs to set up the Fiat to run on alcohol 😄
Congrads on the progress you are making. It should turn out to be a fun driver. Do they offer a posi differential for that model?
Copper pipe looks good BUT it's going to absorb all the heat in the engine bay thereby nullifying the intercooler's effect.
While you're at it with the Tig welder maybe some reinforcement for the floor for that extra power in a 48 year old Italian car?
More power = more heat = need to upgrade the or at least rehabilitate the factory cooling system.
You'll need to create an area that can flex or when the engine moves it'll tear the copper piping apart.
Love your videos and content!
Please make more videos that are longer!!!
Polished copper looks period correct
Wouldn't be more efficient if the intercooler had in and out in oposite sides?
You are right, this one works decent though
Do you have to insulate the copper pipe?
You can use oxy acetylene to soldier with.
The copper looks pretty good. It'll be a real pain to keep it shiny, mind you.
Very very nice
back when I was heavily involved in the Fiat world, I would tell my friends that anyone can build a Camaro.... Try building a Fiat.
The turbo lag will be interesting 😅
-Folks, David Long has NEVER completed a project. And he never will.
The Diesel truck in the background? Sometime before next summer he will sell it, trust me-
The 1976 Fiat 124 Turdblow... Turdblow... LOL!!

large copper pipes needs to be tinned first. Then put the pipes together and solder. No Need for map gas.
Isn’t the copper more expensive than aluminum?
I think that size of intercooler is overkill for power this engine can handle.
For the algorithm
Thanks, RUclips for not telling or showing this video was uploaded
That copper wasn’t cheap
I know you know your dance but what compression ration does that run NA?
ratio, sorry Sir, old Italians take a supercharger but without a rebuild heavy boost......... SEND IT ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You are running ITB injection as this fella going to lean out hard under boost
About 8:1 I think, very low
By 76, the 1756cc it was 8:1. The 1982 Spider Turbo 1995cc actually ran 8.1:1. Earlier engines, the 1608 & 1592, were more like 8.9:1.
All your work is going to payoff on the first sunny day of spring when you pull out and cruise in that
Power Tour 2025 car?
hours and hours for 10min video with two sponsors sure sure man
You could have used hi-strength epoxy instead of solder
Hi-tech adhesives are gear!
Slap a big ass turbo in the thumbnail to click bait viewers
Just ideas...
