Tip #1: Royal Purple (I dilute mine 50/50) will clean engine parts so well that they will look like they came out of a hot tank Tip #2: Preheat, above 350 deg, cast aluminum to out gas any oil in the metal, then wash with acetone before welding. (DO NOT use wife's kitchen oven)
This Channel is perfect for me. I drove a 98 buick park Ave across the east coast several times. And currently drive a single cab s10. 3800 motors are beast 🤘
i'm working on a 98 lesabre right now. great auntie parked it in garage it's whole life so now it's getting the college kid by, just needs new rubber after 26 years.
Love your builds. I have a '98 Gmc Sonoma 4wd that I want to awd swap and then a turbo. Maybe one day. Can't wait for your f body to be done. Keep up the great work 😁 👍🏼
I'm super curious if you intend to make some sort of detailed explanation or how-to video on the specifics of adding 24x coil-near-plug to a V6 motor. Most googling and forum reading either goes well over my head or is just people speculating how to do as it seems no one has really manage to accomplish it before. Most people say to go straight to 58x Gen IV pcms, but it's really cool how you've accomplished it with a modified OS on Gen III PCMs. Either way, insanely cool work and I hope more guys get inspired to use V6s. I know I have, and my 86 S10 Blazer is keeping it's 4.3 swap!
6:15 I guess your sensors have hi/low logic inverted. I drilled rivets out of an OEM trigger wheel, and the half that doesn't work with OEM sensor, is same pattern as what you have on the table. Some useful info would be great, like is your OS required for coil per cylinder on a 6 cylinder? As far as I can tell, GM never used these ECUs with a 24x sensor on a V6. Does that mean they didn't sort that out, or can I just set the number of cylinders appropriately in my tuning software of choice?
could I possibly buy a trigger wheel kit from you? I have a 95 Sunfire with a L67 swap, i've outgrown the stock ecu and was going to swap a megasquirt on.. but a LS ecu with custom os sounds even better..
1: WIll you be offtering crank and cam triggers as some kind of kit? 2: Do you have to use a customer OS, or would just using HPT and changing the cylinders from 8 to 6 work? Thank you.
Same here. So far @turbo_v6 is currently rebuilding the v6 engine I had in highschool, and already did the 4.3 I have currently. I’m jealous
this is insane this channel is way under viewed, wtf!?
It's definitely awesome to see someone actively innovating. Looking forward to future updates!

I’d like to do something AWD in the future
Piston Ranch sent me.
That "awesome" spray works great around the house cleaning.
Never tried it on automotive stuff tho.
you are killing it.
Great video Brandon. Killer fab work!
Thanks!
Nice. I had planned to swap a 4.3 to DIS using an OBD1 3100 ECM but it fell through. Hopefully I'll build a turbo 4.3 next year

I have a 86 3.8 mustang, copying some of your idea's!😁

Hahaha... You said "bungs".
Yes. I'm 3
Badass builds, I wld love for you to make me some turbo headers for my twin charge build
Sorry, don't have the spare time

Thank you.
Not at this time.
It’s more complicated than just changing the number of cylinders.
@@turbov6 yeah understandable. It’s a OS code change and also the hardware to go with it etc
Cool build quick question what transmission are you running
4L60E
Also maybe I missed it but are you doing anything to the internals for this motor?
Not until this one dies
I’m assuming you’ll be doing all your own tuning?
Yeah
Where did you got the cnc machine i cant find that
It was custom built by my friend and he sold it to me.
A fram oil filter?? Really
