Transcripts
we even bought a whole entire laptop
right here
what is up guys welcome back to the
channel so today we are here at the
original gunscar garage and today we're
going to continue working on our brand
new build the 2020 audi r8 decenium with
the twin turbo kit on it as you guys
seen in the previous video we basically
just showed you guys all the goodies
that this thing had so it has a 1200
horsepower package on here on e85 around
a thousand horsepower on regular pump
gas so i think that's insane right there
this is one of our fastest most powerful
cars to date here and of course it's
all-wheel drive and it probably looks
the craziest out of all the cars too i
think man i don't know man i mean it
looks just super sweet especially with
the paint job and stuff like that and
everything that's been done to it the
matte wrap on it and also all the bronze
finishes and it's just a super rare car
as well that makes it a lot better as
well but today what we want to do is try
to get this sucker started so we bought
this thing from the auction and it
didn't say run or drive so there could
be some sort of mechanical issues but we
have some pretty good faith in this
thing and i think there is no mechanical
issues what i think is is the pyro fuse
so a lot of times when the airbags
deploy that pyro fuse bustes out right
and it doesn't allow it to start over
yeah i think it works with the airbag
module as soon as something like seat
belts or airbag blows that thing blows
as well that way there's all power cut
off to the engine yeah and before we
actually just throw in the power fuse
what we want to do first is actually
make sure that this turbo kit right here
is actually in place because from the
collision it kind of just got thrown out
of whack some things got popped off we
want to go ahead and probably take apart
some of this rear end that way we can
access it a lot better and put it back
into place and also just make sure all
the hoses all the tubes and all the
clamps are connected that way we're not
running low boost man we gotta run full
ponytail well whenever we start this
thing we want to make sure everything is
100
and i think we even have our um radiator
in that's busted on the side so we can
possibly even pop that thing on that way
we can get this thing running a hundred
percent yeah honestly we could probably
start it without the radiation yeah yeah
but if we do have that if we do have
time we'll pop on that radiator that way
it can warm up and if we have time to go
get some fluid some coolant so if we
have time to do that and warm this
sucker up we will but nothing's more
important but just to start this thing
that is right so this is some pretty
exciting stuff right here so i say we go
ahead tear a few things apart in the
back end over here secure that turbo try
to get this sucker started
[Applause]
[Music]
so
[Music]
let's go
[Music]
[Laughter]
what the heck
all righty guys so it is actually a
couple days after christmas and we just
left this thing how it sits right there
after ripping apart this whole entire
rear end to expose the whole entire
turbo kit and to expose any other
damages and the only damage on the turbo
kit which was not really a damage was
this carbon fiber bar that actually just
popped out we popped that sucker back
into place and also this exhaust on this
other side over here kind of has a
little bend in it probably from hitting
the frame during the accident but for
the most part everything seems pretty
dang good we're mainly focused on all
the lines that run to like these blowoff
valves over here the internal or the
wastegates over there just following all
these hoses and everything make sure
everything is a hundred percent the big
old intercoolers right here making sure
all the water lines are intact and stuff
like that and it actually has its own
water like tank right there that it's
only separate it's separate from the
engine so it only cools the inner
coolers and it probably runs that cooler
up front and that's pretty cool has its
own water pump and stuff like that but
for the most part i mean there's really
nothing crazy these um brackets or these
clamps actually kind of move a little
bit they are super nice vibrant clamps
right here but i don't know if they're
supposed to move like that maybe they
are who knows there's that's probably
how they're designed to move around but
if not let us know but for the most part
we're just going through everything we
even jumped up front changed the power
of fuse after we just kind of went
through everything and we even pressed
the button to start this thing up and we
about started it about but it cranks
over but it doesn't start so there's
probably two issues that we're running
into right now there's either no fuel or
no spark yeah which my uh um actual um
opinion opinion is this thing probably
doesn't have it's not getting fuel
because we went to the lamborghini to
basically just check because practically
the same fuel system on both cars opened
the door to the lamborghini and you can
actually hear the fuel priming but when
you open the door to this car it doesn't
prime at all or even if you kick you
kick the ignition button on it doesn't
prime at all so we're looking at
everything there is a mechanical fuel
pump right here and there is an actual
aftermarket wire that leads to it so we
followed that wire and we figured out
that this um entire audi r8 has
aftermarket uh ecu's computers
everything throughout this whole entire
car probably for that turbo kit i mean
heck some of these stuff actually popped
out of place during the accident look at
that says huracan on here and it does
say bank 2 right here and on this wire
right here it says bank 2 as well so
there's a bunch of stuff that um could
be possibly wrong we checked all the
leads to each computer over there and on
this side everything is pretty solid
there was one wire that was kind of
popping out right there but it actually
looks like it just popped out of that
little spot yeah right there maybe it
wasn't used or something like that yeah
definitely so there's a bunch of like
aftermarket modules on this rear end
over here and also in the front and they
say like huracan and cybex or something
like that yes there's a bunch of cybex
computers like underneath there this is
even a cybex computer i don't know what
this is this just says huracan maybe
just some kind of um like tuning
computer and stuff like that so we're
going through everything every single
wire there's also a bunch of relays for
some of this stuff like water pumps and
stuff like that and aftermarket like
computers so we got to basically go
through everything we even checking like
all the grounds on this car because
during the accident if this popped off a
wire could have popped off somewhere
easily and also we did check the fuses
in the foot area over there yeah on the
interior they're all 100 there is
however two plastic little boxes where a
bunch of
electronic wires run to on each side of
the engine so we're probably gonna pop
these open make sure everything is a
hundred percent in there and just go
through everything because i mean right
now i it's just not getting fuel you
know what i mean it cranks over
perfectly it sounds really good nothing
really crazy sounding and i mean it just
wants to start dude so we still got a
bunch of troubleshooting on our hands we
kind of just wanted to update you guys
and just uh kind of just narrow down our
problem over here i mean 100 and we want
to get you guys opinion because we might
may not even be able to start it in this
video next video somebody may tell us
we're definitely gonna do a lot of
research i mean we uh let this car sit
for christmas uh weekend hope you guys
got what you wanted for christmas and
we're trying to just do some research
trying to figure this sucker out because
we want this thing to start you know as
soon as it starts you know we just gotta
tweak this suspension a little bit we're
gonna rip this thing yeah for real dude
but anyways we're probably just gonna
keep on going um probably do a little
bit more research i'm probably gonna go
ahead and pop these caps off make sure
everything's 100
maybe make a few phone calls and
hopefully figure this thing out
[Music]
how are they both unplugged all right
fired up
i'm ready
let's go
let's go
[Music]
[Music]
dude there you have it man finally got
this thing started up after what like a
couple hours of trying to figure this
thing out dude we even bought a whole
entire laptop right here which is
awesome because not only are we going to
use this for future reference also we
can just like clear codes everything
right we can control this whole entire
car so we downloaded this uh uh what
what is science experiments
program that just gives us everything we
can literally control it all we've seen
what the issue was we actually called uh
b rogue and really awesome people i mean
they went through everything they got on
this laptop and had everything plugged
in they were just going through
everything with us and it was like some
sort of like five
amp or some kind of voltage five volts
that was going off so something really
slightly was not like connected or
broken went through everything once more
until i got because he caught he we
called him and he told us that something
through the throttle body is not
functioning properly so i'm looking over
there like what is going on are you
starting throttle body is bad and you
when you look real close up underneath
it was actually unplugged so both of
these throttle bodies were actually
physically unplugged because they
couldn't unplug during the damage i mean
it all moves with the engine somebody at
the auction could have done that you
know it happens all the time
a lot of people like you know there's
could be inside jobs where they get good
deals and stuff like that because the
car won't start but you know what plug
both those suckers in this thing fired
right up and uh we let it run for a
little bit uh i think we might want it
to run two minutes that way we can check
the oil you know what i mean pretty sure
we don't have that cooler on that
passenger side over there yeah true
maybe we should throw on the new cooler
we do have the new cooler but we'll have
to run all the way to the dealer to get
like um coolant and all the proper stuff
and like that and we did mention that we
got a lot of parts in over there that'll
probably on the next one but right now
dude the main thing is this thing starts
dude this is just exciting news it
starts right up sounds pretty good i
mean it's all stock right now but you
know what once we start revving this
thing up i think once it actually like
warms up a little bit it'll idle down
and you'll hear the turbos more yeah but
not only is this r8 turbo twin turbo
this computer is even twin turbo dude
when turbo's under underneath here look
at that man where's that right there
dual fan
that's crazy this is awesome dude when
somebody pulls up on you with a computer
you better be careful dude when you have
a laptop in your car man it's a good
thing and it's a scary thing but anyways
it's a really good thing for us because
now we can actually download some
softwares on this computer so this was a
basically a computer that way we can
download stuff to clear codes and stuff
on the lambo and we got to have a window
so we were thinking about using mac but
a lot of programs are not mac compatible
so a lot more programming can be done
with this so it's just a great
investment this is actually going to
allow us to learn about tuning maybe
yeah anything learn how to control cars
learn how to like program keys open just
do anything to engine that we can't
really do all the time so work the
regular yeah with the regular stuff so
this is gonna be awesome for us that's
why we basically purchased it it was
like well around like 900 bucks for this
laptop pretty expensive kind of like a
gaming laptop but good for what's it
called it's gonna be awesome because
b-road can actually just connect you
know they can control right here they
can tune right here on the fly you got
that right all the way from where
they're from dude which is awesome
because once we get this thing on the
road and we have little issues here and
there or something
because look we got in contact with the
original owner and literally he bought
this brand new sent it to them and he
wasn't able to get the car because
it was an unfortunate accident that
happened as soon as the turbo kit got
installed so a brand new turbo brand new
turbo i mean honestly as soon as they
slap this sucker on i think they're
testing it and
somebody ran into this car somebody
pulled out in front of this car somebody
ran into this car
so that's that's the unfortunate right
there dude i don't know it's very
expensive i know it's just that's just
what happens is what you think of when
you're when you get an accident you know
what i mean as long as everybody was
safe which is a really good thing and as
long as it ended up over here at the end
of all this you've got that right but
this is just awesome dude i kind of want
to start it one more time maybe give it
a little rev or something like that that
way
that way we can really i'm gonna i'm
gonna be keeping an eye out on all the
temperatures which this is an awesome
thing it'll
literally give you all the information
over here and all that good stuff
[Music]
all right guys so that's gonna be pretty
much a wrap for today's video now that
we got this hooker finally started that
allows us to move on to the next part so
we got a good engine a good turbo kit
now we got to just get a good body on
this car right here which we got all the
parts we still haven't picked them up
from the dealership and we did buy some
parts off of ebay that are just
scattered around here and there we got
the hood over there we'll show you guys
everything about that it's not in
perfect condition super difficult to
find some of this stuff but you know
what we managed to just scrape
everything together and here soon we're
basically going to tear apart this whole
entire side i think in the next video
we'll tear off this quarter panel right
here and go ahead and try to figure out
our suspension issue that way we can get
this sucker driving so we got it started
now we gotta get this sucker driving
because as soon as it's able to just
drive straight we're gonna go ahead and
put this sucker on the road and we're
gonna let these suckers just rip all
four of these tires dude yeah dude this
is gonna be epic it's gonna be a super
crazy test drive this is probably gonna
be our most epic test drive ever but you
know what you guys are gonna have to
stay tuned for that make sure your post
notifications are on so you don't miss
out on anything and also if you want
inside scoop before youtube definitely
give us a follow on instagram at goon
squad but with all that being said thank
you guys so much for all the love and
support be sure to drop your comments
and thoughts down below we'll catch you
