Q & A

What kind of car are they modifying in the video?

They are modifying a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII luxury coupe.

What is the goal of the modifications they are making?

The goal is to turn the Lincoln into a high-powered sleeper car that can make a lot of horsepower but still looks stock and unsuspecting from the outside.

What engine are they putting in the Lincoln?

They are installing a built 4.6L 32-valve Ford V8 engine with a forged bottom end, stroker crankshaft, and upgraded camshafts.

How much horsepower were they able to get out of the engine on the dyno?

In the end, they managed to get 515 horsepower and 520 lb-ft torque at the wheels, which translates to over 600 horsepower at the crankshaft.

What upgrades did they make to the turbocharger system?

They upgraded to a larger Turbonetics 7275 turbocharger and dialed in the electronic boost control system for better response and power delivery.

What fuel system upgrades will be needed next?

They maxed out the 160 lb/hr fuel injectors, so higher capacity injectors will be needed to supply more fuel for additional power gains.

What drivetrain components did they upgrade?

They installed a built 4R70W automatic transmission and upgraded the driveshaft.

How much oil pressure were they able to achieve?

The oiling system modifications and pump priming procedure allowed them to achieve 90 psi of oil pressure, much better than before.

What was one key reason for failure previously?

Not properly pre-lubricating the engine and priming the oil pump before initial startup led to oil starvation and engine failure.

What types of racing might this car now be competitive in?

With over 600 horsepower at the crank, this car should be highly competitive at the drag strip and well suited for street racing.

😀 Introduction to project and goals for the episode

The paragraph introduces the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII project car. The goals are to get the turbocharged 4.6L Ford V8 engine running smoothly, eat up the highway, and make big horsepower numbers.

05:01

👷‍♂️ Installing the engine into the car

The rebuilt Ford V8 engine is lowered into the engine bay. Some fabrication and modification is required to fit the turbo setup in the tight engine compartment. The engine and transmission are mated together and bolted into the subframe.

10:01

🔧 Buttoning up the drivetrain and accessories

With the engine now mounted, work begins on hooking up all the systems - wiring, plumbing, steering, etc. The turbo and wastegate are installed. A larger methanol injection tank is added.

15:02

🍕 Pizza break thanks to viewer donations

The team takes a break to enjoy pizza generously donated by loyal viewers of the show. Donations help keep the shop running and the builds moving forward.

20:04

⏱️ Time lapse montage of car work

A musical time lapse shows more progress on the car build, including installing the radiator, driveline, and various components.

25:06

🛢️ Priming the engine before startup to avoid disaster

Learning from past mistakes, proper procedures are taken to pre-lube and prime the oiling system before startup to avoid engine failure.

30:07

😅 Successful first startup with oil pressure

The engine roars to life for the first time. The team celebrates 90 PSI of oil pressure, avoiding past issues and proving the rebuild effort successful so far.

35:14

🌡️ Trip to the dyno to start tuning

The car is strapped down on the dyno to start the tuning process. After a few conservatively boosted runs, it makes 345 hp to the wheels, showing good potential.

40:15

⚙️ Turning up boost and timing to push power

More aggressive dyno pulls are made after tuning to optimize ignition timing and increase boost. Horsepower climbs to an impressive 500+ at the wheels.

45:17

😎 Success with over 500 wheel horsepower

The team celebrates finally achieving over 500 hp at the wheels, comparing favorably to the Dodge Hellcat. A few small issues to address, but huge progress overall.

Keywords

💡turbocharger

A turbocharger is a device that increases the power output of an engine by forcing extra compressed air into the combustion chamber. It uses the exhaust flow from the engine to spin a turbine, which then spins an air compressor to compress the air going into the engine. In the video, they add a larger turbocharger to the engine to increase its horsepower output. This supports the overall theme of modifying the Lincoln to create a high-performance sleeper car.

💡horsepower

Horsepower is a unit for measuring the power output of an engine. In the video, they are trying to increase the horsepower of the Lincoln engine by modifying it with new parts like a turbocharger. The goal is to create a high horsepower sleeper car, so monitoring the horsepower output on the dyno is crucial.

💡oil pressure

Oil pressure refers to the pressure of the engine's lubricating oil as it circulates through the engine. Proper oil pressure is essential to protect the engine from damage. They had issues with low oil pressure causing engine failure previously, so checking for good oil pressure is a key priority when starting up the rebuilt engine.

💡dyno

A dyno, or dynamometer, is a device for measuring the power output of an engine. They use a dyno to test the engine and tune it to make more power by adjusting things like boost pressure. The dyno lets them monitor power gains from modifications.

💡sleeper car

A sleeper car is a high-performance car that looks stock or unassuming on the outside. The goal of this project is to turn the old Lincoln into a sleeper by modifying the engine extensively while keeping the exterior boring-looking.

💡wastegate

A wastegate is a valve for regulating boost pressure from a turbocharger. It bypasses some exhaust around the turbo to limit boost once a preset maximum pressure is reached. They install an electronic boost controller to get better control over the wastegate.

💡timing

Ignition timing refers to when the spark plugs fire to ignite the fuel/air mixture in the cylinders. Advancing the timing can improve power output but too much can cause detonation issues. They adjust the timing to optimize power gains from the engine.

💡fuel injectors

Fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine cylinders. They mention reaching the limits of their 160 lb/hr injectors at high power levels, indicating they need bigger injectors to supply enough fuel for more power.

💡boost

Boost refers to the increase in air pressure from the turbocharger as it compresses intake air. They monitor the boost pressure and gradually increase it to raise power levels while ensuring reliability.

💡camshafts

Camshafts control the opening and closing of the engine's valves. The upgraded camshafts in the built engine affect the engine's power output and performance characteristics.

Highlights

The goal is getting a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII sleeper car running with a built Ford 4.6L engine and big turbo.

The first built 4.6L engine failed due to lack of engine pre-lubrication and oil pump priming before startup.

A new built short block was purchased and installed along with new heads, cams, and a larger Turbonetics turbocharger.

Properly priming the oil pump and pre-lubricating the engine before startup gave good oil pressure, indicating likely success.

The engine made 284 hp on the dyno at first, then 494 hp after tuning. Injector limits capped it around 515 hp and 520 ft-lbs torque.

The small stock exhaust manifolds restricted flow at high RPMs, indicating the need for an upgrade.

515 hp at the wheels means over 600 hp at the crankshaft, turning this Lincoln into a very formidable sleeper.

This project revived enthusiasm for the Lincoln after past failures, showing the high potential of the platform.

Proper engine pre-lubrication and oil pump priming are critical first steps with built engines.

Mid-500s horsepower numbers rival those of high-end sports cars like Hellcats.

The Lincoln made just short of 500 whp on a conservative tune, indicating room to push over 500.

Larger injectors are needed to supply enough fuel for making over 500 wheel horsepower.

The engine stayed together well despite high power levels, with excellent oil pressure throughout.

The Lincoln showed massive gains over previous attempts and can now compete with top tuner cars.

This big turbo Lincoln sleeper is ready for street action after achieving over 500 whp on the dyno.

Transcripts

welcome back to St tuned I'm Tony Angelo

and today we are getting our ultimate

sleeper back out on the road and

hopefully eating up the highway this is

a 1998 fullon Grandpop Lincoln markate

uh and we have a fully forged 4.6 L 32

valve 4 cam Ford motor that is ready to

suck up all the turbo boost we can throw

at this thing I cannot wait we're going

to get this thing crammed in there hit

the dyno and then the highway so buckle

up grab yourself a big cup of oval tee

and let's

go so we've never really had a ton of

success with this car just to be

completely forthcoming uh the idea was

let's build a cheap turbo car that's not

just another LS ls's work by the way um

and so I grabbed a 1998 Lincoln mar8 for

1,200 bucks slapped on a Chinese turbo

all in we'd spent 4 grand or $4,200 and

we were making with a ton of DIY Parts

on it and like ROM tuning 395 wheel

horsepower and that is Stout I took it

to the track it made it about 150 ft and

just absolutely scattered every single

rotating part inside the engine okay

failure number one all right after the

first explosion we decided to get

serious with this projector more serious

however serious we ever get here at stay

tune uh I went out and bought a fully

forged 46 stroker motor that was turbo

ready essenti

uh Kellogg's crank ibeam rods Forge

Pistons bullet cams built top to bottom

I think we spent a little bit under five

grand for it uh it ran pretty good on

the dyno until we realized it was making

7 PSI of oil pressure and had wasted the

bottom end another complete abysmal

disgusting failure I was sad in my heart

we pushed the car out back at our other

shop it sat there for eight months and

we never really looked at it again total

bummer hard to come back from sometimes

you need a little Spark par and we just

said one day you know what I still want

this sleeper rolling I want to get this

Grandpa car ripping let's get back at it

let's see what we've got and tear it

apart we dug into the bottom end of this

thing it needs a ton of machine work we

don't have the time money or patience

for that to take another crack at Ford

for valve Glory I went out on the

marketplace and bought a completely

mysterious and supposedly rebuilt 4.6 L

stroker short block

for 1,700 bucks I got a w aluminum block

with a forged Ford crank shaft That was

supposed to be a stroker and totally

isn't but that's okay at least it's

forged it's got uh H beam rods forged

dish pistons in it we slapped our

beautiful heads on top with the bullet

cams and we're going to put it up in the

car and now is where the fun starts

we're going to see if this thing makes

number one oil pressure and number two

outrageous amounts of

horsepower I don't I at this point I

don't know which one be I'll be more

excited about cuz over pressure you're

going to see a big high five if this

some oil pressure all right uh Zach has

been getting busy he's got the intake

manifold on this thing we run stock

exhaust manifolds into this kind of

wonky turbo setup we did the motor is

sitting uh in the subframe with the

gearar for

r7w that's fully built hanging off the

back of it and it's ready to drop it

into the into the car now or shove it up

into the car now thr drop drop the car

at it whatever we do I think that's how

we need to do this just just drop it the

arms out and just let it fall Let It Go

we're looking good so

far but slow down a little bit some

things are starting starting to move

here that Holly harness is going to have

to get lifted up and go into the car

pretty soon correct somebody got to go

in the car okay and receive it yeah but

we are rocking and rolling this episode

it's the beginning of a new week we're

stoked uh working on this thing last

week kind of like really reinvigorated

me on this project and uh I'm excited to

see see just a completely boring dull

hazed up headlight gray not even silver

gray Lincoln Mark 8

just making 780 wheel horsepower tearing

up Pennsylvania highways allegedly see

what happens hey guys we have a ton of

stay tuned merch back in stock all of

this stuff is printed in PA by my old

buddy Ralph and uh we've got all the

classics here we've got the we're going

to lose the shop shirt stay tun hats

Angelo's garage gym the Cyclone shirt

and of course the original stay tuned

Garage shirt so click the link order up

some Fresh Threads and we appreciate

every order all right let's make

horsepower so we've had our troubles

with these four valve Motors but I'll

say what they do they look pretty wicked

cool that motor looks red I ready to

come up in there that big old giant

snake on the top of it it's mainly the

intake mostly the intake is nine 9/10 of

it but I like it the blue is good too

that's the other

tth Ford blue is a cool color good now

we're going to lower the car onto the

engine till we get to the point where we

can feed the Holly Terminator X harness

into the car wow cuz we have it all

sitting on the engine already this is

cool this is cool getting there mhm okay

keep

going stop

[Music]

there

it's pretty close it's pretty close for

sure it's

on that was beautiful that'll do it

that's just about perfect there yeah

might even be too

far all right come

on stop there that's just enough to get

bolts in

it

motor is crammed in there subframe is

bolted up to the chassis same with the

transmission cross she's in there good

we're going to put it up give it a quick

once over underneath make sure it

nothing looks crazy or is bound up or

banged up and we'll be good to start

attaching

stuff I know what you're doing here me

yep yeah I am going going to now go

through torque down the subframe or k

member bolts depending

on if you grew up working on Hondas or

[Music]

Camaros and then we will put the front

suspension back together just try to get

a couple things done we're almost done

for the day here so we're going to

do maybe drive shaft drop the fuel tank

put it back up in there get the

suspension done that'll be good still

sleeping from last week still sleeping

from last week and it's my kid's

birthday so I'm going to clear out of

here and go hang out with the coolest

8-year-old

around and we'll do a 90 19 hour day

tomorrow to get this thing done probably

it'll be

great you done this before yeah once or

twice seem pretty confident in it yep

all right you want to let this thing

down

slly

[Music]

all right now upy Daisy up with the

[Music]

CL

[Music]

good

thing you got the red light on

there hold whoa It's like mood

lighting okay more there it is it's a

boy

all

right okay wow go good job guys plus

everybody

involved

good

yes okay it's a whole new day here at

the stay tuned shop Pennsylvania looks

like Sleepy Hollow at this point it's

like I came in in a foggy Dark Mist nice

it was wild I saw Johnny Depp riding

around at horseback but that's like that

happens every day anyway yeah it's

pretty standard we head nod and keep on

moving uh we're underneath the Linkin

we're going to hook up the shifter check

on a couple things get it down and start

just connecting all the different

systems now it's quite involved

obviously we got to do exhaust figure

out the turbo wiring to the new wiring

wiring oil supply to the new turbo

cooling you know lot got to wire the new

turbo got to wire the turbo up we're

doing one of those electric jobbers off

of eBay they're pretty sick they work

good they'll add one or

two horsepowers to your ride they're

cool my favorite thing is like no matter

what ridiculous idea it is if you is him

just turning that light that I was

clearly using what I was doing like oh I

need to see my sh that pretty face his

face take yeah there you go go I'm like

hey that's fine man no you're good no

don't point out the camera no I got to

go now we're fine all right good I just

thought it was funny yeah you're like

this is mine

now were you using it your hands up in

no man's land yeah so I can see up in no

man's see that with your

fingers engine transfers power to the

transmission via this flex plate that's

bolted into the motor and this torque

converter that gets driven by the flex

plate and they are disconnected when you

bolt everything together and then you

have to generally get underneath the car

and put the three four six bolts in with

a liberal amount of Loctite on them so

they don't fall off because if that

becomes disconnected then the engine

doesn't drive anything and it just

becomes a awful noise maker terrible

noise

terrible now you just generally get them

in finger tight make sure they're all in

don't dare tighten one before they're

all in and give it another pass spin the

engine around and tighten them all

up uh do this before you connect the

starter so you can just knock it in

neutral and then into park with your

fingers instead of having to go up and

down in the car a bunch of

times I did that to show you guys how

not to do it oh sure you're welcome sure

this is a or instructional moment I like

to show by doing the wrong thing so I do

it take a nice off this one nut not shut

up

ready oh this compression makes it tough

to move work harder not

smarter I hope it's straight if it's not

we'll

just guess it is good good deal all

right I'm going to tighten up the

steering shaft I'm going to put that CU

off for the turbocharger on that's one

of the fun ones let's

go this car has potential it's just that

it has reached absolutely none of it so

far yet yet yet this what we're looking

for oil pressure turbo sounds

horsepower and it's on and we get some

old man gear get out there and run the

streets oil pressure end of L like a

couple of sepag genarian you know what

I'm saying

wow you know what that means

nope Ford thing it's a Ford thing it's a

for get that stck so this is what we

built before it just basically connects

the two uh factory exhaust manifold

Outlets into a big U pipe and then we

just pipe right off of it boom like that

to uh pick up the turbocharger so

exhaust pulses slam into each other here

they argue about where to go here and

they say oh let's go out this way and

then they're like bam turbo turbine

wheel they spin that thing and we make

turbo boot boost uh is this an ideal

flow setup absolutely not definitely not

are we aware of that yes I don't need

800 more people going that's not ideal

they're going to it doesn't matter this

is what fits the car is incredibly

cramped we built this for the stock

owner and this has not been our problem

yet that does have to go in first that's

what the long one can sneak no that one

you can this one you have to put in

there that has to go in now cuz this one

is remember I said it's cramp it's cramp

this is like it's the 50s and there's 30

teenagers getting those phone boo It's

that kind of cramp

A+ All

right and because our low oil pressure

on the dyo last time also murdered the

turbocharger we have a sweet upgrade I'm

very excited about is this does this

look

weird good little silly but you're a

silly guy I'm a silly

guy it's true so our turbo up pipe is

two pieces uh I'm going to slide it in

the turbo is fed this is the end of the

up pipe by this guy and as you can see

there's absolutely zero room in

there

[Music]

yeah Turbo Pizza turbos and pizza it's

turbo time but the pizza has just

arrived from tornetta the greatest

Pizza in the

universe got a Kicking and

Screaming something that says God right

on it I don't know does that say what do

we order Co that's mine what is it see

how excited he is that's meatball par

baby meatball parmesana yeah delicious

delicious if you want to send us a pizza

there is a donate your pizza button to

stay tuned right up here boom boom boom

we really appreciate it click the link

send us a pizza we appreciate it big

time Today's Pizza donations paid for

this beauty they came from Ryan Orana

who we appreciate your service he's on

deployment looking forward to every

episode awesome and Joseph Hawkins who

donated enough for quite a few pies we

appreciate you buddy and one more

special oneor Sam Crow baby the boys

tell them more yeah these are like my

best friends car dudes we appreciate

been supporting Sam Crow is your group

name group chat name right you have to

have one I think everybody with their

buds has a group chat that you go into

every day and just send each other

either the grossest or the dumbest

things you can find mine is called

what's called horse girls for a while

cuz we said that car guys and horse

girls were the same and now it's called

the ex- best friends Club think I got

sad cuz we don't hang out boys anyway

tell me what your group chat name is I'd

like to hear more of them yeah yeah Sam

Crow though appreciate you thank you one

major upgrade that is going to unlock

big big Power on Grandpa's Lincoln is

this new Turbonetics turbocharger this

is a

7275 MM setup uh that they put together

for us they say it will make

approximately what Barb 650 700 wheel

horsepower have good spool Still Rock

and Roll It has the Billet wheel in here

Billet compressor wheel this unit

retails for about 900 bucks you can

spend four times as much for a turbo but

we'd like to spend wisely here and this

thing should absolutely kill for us so

we're excited Zach's going to start

fitting that bad boy on and we are one

step closer to firing this thing

up so we have a holly meth setup in this

thing it's a very very serious pump uh

but it has a little tiny tank and when

we were on the dyno the last time we

were filling this thing every like 4

seconds so guys at Holly sent us over

this gigantic 5 gallon am tank which is

going to fit just perfectly right there

um so I'm just going to pull these lines

off real quick this was actually tapped

for eth npt and had a uh push connect

fitting that uses this line everything

else we have here uh is the larger

diameter silicone line including the

filter that's in here so I'm just going

to pull this off the bottom of this tank

get it out of the way and then just run

a little bit of extra line M this tank

over here connect it up we good to

go that's a

hole that'll hold five gallons worth of

force that's a beautiful

thing not going to run out

now chob done cool while Zach is

finishing up getting the turbo ready to

install just clocking everything bolting

up the vband flange Barbie is going to

toss in this eBay radiator I picked up

just kind of a no-name thing but it's

much thicker than the original it's

aluminum it screams high performance and

also it's shrouded in

mystery so we'll see how it does see

that fan shroud that's a joke I made

there that's a that joke I see what you

did there shrouded mystery and plastic

so the radiator fits in the car well uh

the mounts for the fan are just wrong it

winds up putting it stood way off here

and it doesn't let you even use it on

that side the top mounts look okay we're

going to just modify these little little

clips and see if we can make it

work these were obviously not correct

these brackets on the bottom they looked

like they were just offset improperly so

I just hacked off the bottom here and

opened it up a little bit so this would

fit stacked a couple washers on this

side and then on this side I just made a

little standoff

and bent this a little bit now it's

pretty

solid should be good ready to rock here

super Universal style turbo t3s t4s

whatever got to clock everything so it

works perfectly with your

application be patient make sure you

have the room you need and figure it all

out just takes a

minute couple of minutes couple hours

lot of minutes lot of minute big minutes

oh that looks real good that's going

work

perfect everything fits the turbo drain

plus the bolts we have access to to lock

down the CH that's the center housing

that

spins uh CH

is Center housing reciprocating

assembly

a rotating assembly maybe yeah rotating

yeah that's better that's the

one learn but that is dialed in there I

knew you would know too tightly

packaged all right I think we ride like

that our turbo is in there I'm just

going to go around tighten up the

compressor housing this Center section

get the oil lines on here and then we're

going to Prime this engine which is

spoiler alert probably the reason why

the last one exploded stay

tuned time lapse

watch away we always walk away in time

lapses where's he

going these guys are yeah editors

editors

[Music]

[Music]

know

okay cool we're putting on our on three

44 mm waste

gate it's everything in here is a tight

fit

yeah that's

it right throw that on there for this

thing you can like go it

won't okay so we are dialing in our

boost controller on the Cyclone we just

run a ball in spring we haven't anything

really sophisticated this is a much more

sophisticated system and you need a

holly Terminator either that or a

dedicated boost controller computer to

uh control it and there's going to be a

three prong solenoid like this one is

the vent one goes to the top of the

wastegate and one goes to the bottom of

the wastegate now if you go on Holly

site there's a great uh diagram of how a

wastegate Works essentially it's two

sides of a diaphragm with a spring

offsetting it blue is the top green is

the bottom if green sees a bunch of

boost enough to basically over come this

spring it's going to lift that valve up

and let exhaust pressure go around the

turbine wheel thereby slowing down the

turbocharger and making less boost but

it's like a really gradual process it

starts to like creep open a little bit

and then the turbo slows down and you

know makes it harder to work against it

it's working against the leak and

eventually it'll it'll overwhelm it

enough to get there and it's a slow

process and it makes the turbo feel kind

of lazy a better way to do it electronic

boost controller will will put boost be

believe it or not to both sides of this

diaphragm to blue and green uh and here

it controls it and it's going to just

let it see boost on both sides that

spring is going to keep it closed and no

matter how much is pressure is coming

into green it's going to be the same

amount of pressure going to Blue so that

plus the spring keeps it fully fully

fully closed and when it gets to this

predetermined pressure then it cuts a

boost to the top and lets it just fly

open and it just moves much more quickly

and then you can play with the duty

cycle and like how it comes on and all

these different things boost by gear

boost by speed uh once you got electron

ICS involved it's it's pretty easy to

really dial the curve in no matter how

the car weighs and how it leaves and how

it spools it's a lot more control does

the Cyclones still work in Jam yes would

it be better with one of these

absolutely there you

go take air attempt sort it

out that's the same one it is almost

time to to fire up our fully built 46 in

our Lincoln for the second time and

we're going to do differently this time

and probably the main reason that we

exploded that other beautifully built

motor is that we did not pre- lubricate

this thing and we did not prime the oil

pump the oil pump is driven off the

front of the motor it's very easy for

that thing to just suck air it's not an

old school motor where you can just

throw a drill in where the distributor

is and spin the oil pump and put oil

everywhere pre lubing it and priming the

pump uh and that was our big issue I

believe it I believe that to be the case

I don't see any other weird Smoking Gun

and I've done some research the guys

that built that motor originally gave me

a link meling and oil pump manufacturer

has a great little short video on

YouTube about how to do this but we're

going to show you how to do it right now

if you have a Ford mod Motor so this

should work for the four valves the two

valves the three valves all the mod

Motors and I think for the coyotes too

um and all we're going to do now is we

have everything hooked up finally and we

are going to access oil to the top of

the oil pump and to the rest of the

engine just through the oil filter

housing okay so the two places we're

going to cram oil are basically the

inlet and the outlet of the oil filter

uh directly through this port is the

output of the oil pump and if I just

cram you know I have a cord in there a

couple of times according to meling that

it will get into the gears and make sure

that those are full of oil and have some

kind of volume to work with and to

create suction to pull oil up and out of

the pan on uh the initial startup which

is great and then I'm going to come in

here with a little hand sprayer and pump

as much oil as I can through the motor

trying to get it into the cam shafts and

into the main bearings the rod bearings

absolutely everywhere that oil goes just

so that this thing is nice and happy

when it gets fired up and hopefully we

can fire this thing up have oil pressure

right off the bat and be ready to throw

a ton of boost at this thing but the

first big win we're going for in this

episode is proper oil pressure out of a

46 on Startup so let's do it

yeah want to make sure that that didn't

[ __ ] this thing is locked and

loaded this is one

qut there can't tell with your hand but

probably there find an or it's in that's

it yep go

ahead there we

go

it's ripping out all right getting in

there hold your hand on

it yep okay it's just coming out

now good yep all right let's call that

primed I

guess here

cool got to do something okay so now the

oil pump is primed we have back fed a

bunch of oil on top of it so that the

gears essentially should be full of oil

it's ready to make suction and put oil

through the motor and then on the other

side I'm going to now pre- lubricate the

engine with one of these little handy

dandy Garden SL detail sprayers I put in

a quart and a half or a quart and a

quarter I'm going to pump it up and the

center of where the oil filter goes that

is what gets fed into the engine because

it goes around the filter media and then

often into the engine and we're just

going to try pump this thing free and

see what happens I'll do my best little

electrical tape to make a nice seal

there I don't know how we're going to do

see what

happens that's in there enough go

ahead send

it I mean we're moving some oil it's

going somewhere it's gone somewhere

hasn't leaked a drop so that

allop it can't go any bad

places it's better inside the engine

than out of

it

we're going to fill the filter up with

oil slam it on there and then call it a

day fire this thing up hopefully cross

every finger and toe we have and see

what it does all right are you

ready a long few days for sure but feels

good man other things always had so much

potential man and it's just been such a

disaster that I'd love to see some big

numbers out of this thing this is a cool

idea a completely dull

gray you know

unassuming Mark 8 and it's going to just

absolutely tear the tires off this thing

I'm very excited very excited and Mar

Gates have like a you know they always

were pretty cool and they came with

these engines just not one that's fully

built with cam shafts and big old

turbo

yeah all right use about a half a case

of brake cleaner on that thing we'll

fire it up yep when you're done spray it

all over me cool I am tossing the front

wheels on we're going to loader the

thing down get my laptop out and uh putp

the old tune from the dyno into this guy

and get it fired up hopefully again

instant proper oil pressure let it run

check for leaks and awful sounds and

hopefully this thing is rocking and

rolling I do have to put these things on

uh and find the

right there it is so if you buy these

tuner lugs just be aware they're not

quite as

secure if you bought more than one set

as you think they might

be because as you can

see I bought about five sets of these

and all the keys are the

same all right plugging in the old Holly

Terminator

X B the trick sure oh this is that

Kentucky uh coffee it's got some kick to

it it's after

midnight it's time to see if this thing

works and makes oil pressure and doesn't

make any horrible noises we should have

plenty of time to fire it up see that

oil pressure take this as a big big win

get stoked and hit the sack uh and come

back in the morning get this thing ready

to go to the

diner I am now since we swap computers

all the time this Terminator X Max Holly

computer

has never seen this Ford motor correct

uh Brad sent us over the last tun he

emailed it to us um it should be

certainly close enough to get this thing

fired up and check it for oil pressure

all right I'm looking at the file name

it's 4.6 cop coil unplug boost for our

70w stay tuned that's us Ace that's Brad

Dash two Tony doesn't kill it tune

double save that's the right one all

right you ready for this Y come on baby

come

on there we

go yo 90 woo yes yes 90 she's making 90

PSI of oil pressure

yes that's something it's a hell of a

lot more than seven we will take

it I know no coolant in it and a brand

new turbo so I can't do

anything but it's making oil pressure

and that feels

fantastic I might have something

here

8 sounds smooth I don't see any

leaks I'm going to rev it I'm going to

rev up a little

bit

all right that feels good woo oh baby in

the morning we will fill it up with

coolant check for any leaks and then

take this thing off to the dyo so I'm

excited that felt great feels a little

good all right after a long night we

have Grandpa turbo sleeper Lincoln

strapped to the dino here at PSR I can

give you the long story about all the

different failures we' have for this

thing I don't want to do that I want to

get this thing fired up and see if it

makes as much horsepower as it does oil

pressure or hopefully like 60 10 times

as much 10 times 10 times oo that's a

good day 10 times spin the ter up for

good luck rub the snake yeah rub the

snake that's right oh yeah that's rub

the snake rub the snake rub the snake

all right come on

Brad start at 20 pounds and then work

your way up Oh I thought we were working

our way down we'll start at 20 and go to

Five all right good

idea what we did was remove the bottom

end and then shove a new one in there

yep and put a big turbo on it put this

big sweet swirly swirly swirly boy from

Turbonetics

yeah pizza pizza

pizza show it to us whoa what sorry the

pizza you animals it's Pizza Time oh bar

oh that's a hot John it is today

delicious staying away from that never

misses yeah maybe don't eat that

[Music]

one that good that looks pretty

good

[Music]

all right let see 284 that's something

already double doubled added 100

4,800 yeah all

right 284 horsepower at the tire that's

a start

boy double

it well so now what we can do double it

and give it to the next guy is that how

that worked

yeah there

[Music]

what

294

294 okay okay I put this that was just

an exploratory run double it double it

yeah double it give it to the next guy

let's go all right pull that plug out

Barb have a look at that

plug it doesn't look like it did

anything you're looking for a spark plug

it's right there yeah there's a mark on

it right in front of the light

dude I like

it that was we got after it on that one

let that was 300 I saw it that was what

3 something 330 hey how many boost

enough to open a wastegate finally oh

yeah that's not leaking there a lot of

pressure 345 330 345 at 5 grand and 4100

we're just getting

started so after a couple of runs to

about 5,000 RPM Grandpa's Lincoln just

off 10 lbs of boost was making about 330

wheel horsepower we have much higher

hopes but we're trying to take it

conservatively uh there's a little bit

of question about the actual ignition

timing happening so we are continually

pulling spark plugs out throwing in new

ones and reading the plugs old school

style which is a totally legitimate way

to do it so we're going to take a little

bit more time and try to not smoke this

setup right off the bat but it sounds

killer it's running strong and it's time

to keep turning it

up you know we're talking I want to run

18 pounds of boo maybe I want to hear

this thing at like 7500 RPM I want to

get there but one step at a time baby

steps you know old people Grandpa take

little baby steps like this they get

there they get there get the job

done

like it like moves up slowly the motor

and

then 340

wheel add

250 let's go cash yeah what's the oil

pressure look like now uh like we got

too much in there it was good the entire

hell yeah what's that number wases at 80

80 yeah all right good good

good

good 360 is even better all

right that's pretty good now yeah what

is that 10

lb

12 got time to turn it

up I don't think there's any I agree why

don't we not turn it up and let's add a

little more timing to it let see what it

does fresh

plug wait what what do you have on now

offset three okay tried at zero so if it

jumps up 30 horse cuz if it JP up 20 now

yeah if it knocks the Rings you have

that you have that crank case

ventilation thing right in the front

there right you'll see it in that it is

smoking less now than it was before okay

so I means it's closing the Rings good

yeah um if it if it sh if it shutters

the Rings you'll see a puff out of that

real fast what do you want me to do just

wave at me Jesus such a long pole I'll

see it okay W I thought I see send him a

text watch

if the Rings CH together flutters

flutter is the word we're going to see a

bunch of smoke come out of the catch can

and then we're going to use smoke

signals to tell Brad I'm going to get my

phone out and it out smoke sign down

shut down I'll email what's your email

I'll get it to you

okay uh you got a pag your paage you you

call me back I'll tell you what

[Music]

happens

that s

good it like what I don't think it m no

I can hear

it what we got there 382 what were we

last time 360

36 got a dee but aren't these heads more

efficient these are like a h head aren't

they aren't they like a round chamber so

this probably one less time

okay back it down and then turn to boost

probably fine at like

14 I'd rather un boost than ignition

timing oh yeah I always want

to good we're all on the same page great

everybody's on the same page turn the

boost up double that boost and give it

to the next

[Music]

guy working now

talking

wow 434 there we go that's something

[ __ ] look at that Tor 434 466 we're

moving on up that's boost up double aign

timing big question mark how much

boost don't tell us let's let it all be

a mystery more double it yeah double it

send it to the next person give us the

print out at the end of the

evening oh yeah that's an Hest 500

horsepower at the motor horse puppies

keep

going heat heat com

off 446 476 torque that's good that's a

lot of Torx that'll spin one tire that's

going to do something how much boost is

that

14 double

it this car is going to be a rocket ship

I don't know if we're going to hit 600

but we're going to hit something also

it's staying together all right adding

some more boost pushing for 16 or so see

what this thing does we are getting

close to the limits of our injectors our

160lb injectors going to see how much

power we can make with this thing and we

are getting up there we make close to 5

under wheel I'm going to

be

now it's good one close

Fireball H good

boy I think it's

good

473 all right we are rolling we are

rolling at 500 498

499 foot PBS at the ti tire's going to

hate you car is going to be an animal an

animal Tony what we're 87% inor 87%

injector duty cycle rule of thumb is

what stop at about 85 I usually stop at

80 yeah okay let's go to 90 let's go

push a little let's go C all right we're

at 475 wheel horsepower which means this

thing is making 580 at the crank or

something

bananas uh we are we have 60lb injectors

in there and we realize that we're

running out of injector they're at 83%

duty cycle rule of thumb you don't

really want to run them over 80 85 cuz

you start to they start to not work as

well uh we're going to push it a little

harder just to have some fun see if we

can hit closer to 500 wheel horsepower

at that point this thing will be just an

absolute beast but we are making more

power than this thing has ever made it's

staying together it sounds incredible

it's making 500 lb feet of torque at the

tires this thing is going to be the Nast

nastiest sleeper ever I cannot wait to I

cannot wait to drive it this is fun but

like let's see what it does on the

[Music]

street come

on not there what not there not there we

closer closer yeah no sir not there

though

475 lot a lot of horsepower at the tires

boy it's a lot you know what a Hellcat

does 560 yeah it's 90 less than than a

Hellcat that feels pretty good that does

feel good feel pretty good pretty all

right

grandpa yeah so we are running into an

issue if you recall we are running our

tiny restrictive stock exhaust manifolds

into that pretty ridicul ridiculous you

pipe and then it's getting fed up we

knew it'd be restrictive and I think

we're finally getting close to finding

the limits of this thing it's making

475 horsepower at the tires and

510 foot PBS of torque pound feet of

torque 50 horsepower yeah it drops you

can watch it drop off you want to put a

degree or two a timing in it or what see

what it does we'll run the same with a

degree one

more dud what goes down must come up I

think is what they say those words yeah

not one more that's one more

degree all right put in two put in I

like that guy we're out of injector

we're going to add a little

timing and I'll just do this if I do

this shut it

down

[Music]

y it's love

it

499 wheel

horsepower come on dude we calling it

500 500 wheel horsepower you know what

that means it wants more time it loved

the time you hear deg you hear it was

like and it took all one degree one

degree one degree one degre dude it

sounds nuts it sounds so good this thing

had 500 wheel horsepower I crack like a

10c quarter mile it's going to be

nasty sounds awesome it's running

great like $499 507 this thing is an

animal that's stupid that's awesome I'm

so ex through those tiny stock exhaust

manifolds i' say running out of injector

1087 at 24 is what the internet says

3900 with him in

it let's at that plug we decide if we

want to go we do let's not look at it

and just go we I saw 4.99 while was like

yes we need 6 t0 of a Hors

dude I saw it said 499 I you got to be

kidding I know every time we get her I'm

like I want to hit this we're like how

about one less well that was what what

was that was that on the his 53 a 53 the

number and then it was like 498 or 398

or whatever it was we're going to see

how big the methanol jet is and maybe we

can cool that charge down with a bigger

jet look at that there's meth in there

it sure is

working one more pound of

Booth all

right

he will

[Music]

wait

515 wheel horsepower 520 torque at the

top let's go hell yeah that feels good

real good bananas it's in one piece it

makes killer oil pressure and it makes

stupid horsepower we are now out of time

and out of injector this thing is

awesome Grandpa's sleeper link and

finally lives that is it for this

episode to stay tuned this has been a

complete blast I am back in love with

this thing I cannot wait to drive it uh

thanks for watching please like And

subscribe we will see you guys next time

we got to get this thing out on the

street this is killer nice nice work Bud

hard week hard week big week this thing

is a pain in the to work on but we did

it
