00:00 On this episode of Hot Rod Garage, the bone marrow runs tan!
00:07 You let the smoke out, buddy.
00:10 It happens.
00:11 It happens.
00:12 [ENGINE REVVING]
00:13 [TIRES SCREECHING]
00:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:17 Welcome back to Hot Rod Garage, presented by Lincoln Tech.
00:41 We've got one of my favorite project cars here today.
00:44 It's the bone marrow.
00:45 This is our low buck drag car project.
00:47 We set out to build a 10 second drag car for $10,000.
00:50 And we did not make it.
00:52 Not do it.
00:53 Nope.
00:54 We totally failed.
00:55 We got a '79 Camaro we dragged out of the desert.
00:57 We got it dirt cheap.
00:58 We got a 5.3 LS engine, did a couple upgrades to it--
01:01 camshaft, head gaskets, valve springs.
01:04 Bolted on a giant Chinese turbo kit.
01:06 It made 530 wheel horsepower.
01:08 Now that's a ton of power and plenty of power
01:10 to get this thing down the track in 10 seconds or less.
01:13 But we wound up fighting a super tight torque
01:15 converter and really long gears.
01:17 So by the time we got the right parts in there,
01:19 it did launch hard.
01:20 But halfway down the track, it exploded.
01:22 It was a great day at work, though.
01:23 It was pretty fun.
01:24 So what we're going to do now is we're going to tear this engine out.
01:27 We've got another junkyard 5.3.
01:28 We're going to keep everything still very much on the cheap.
01:31 Hopefully, go hunting for that elusive 10 second time slip.
01:34 Are you ready?
01:35 Let's go.
01:35 I'm ready, buddy.
01:35 Are you ready?
01:36 I've been ready.
01:36 Let's do it.
01:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:44 To pull the motor out, we have a couple of different options.
01:48 We can take the motor and transmission out in one shot,
01:50 leaving the front clip on.
01:51 We're opting to go ahead and remove the front clip.
01:53 It'll be a lot easier.
01:54 We're going to drain all the fluids, take off the charge pipe,
01:57 unhook a couple of hoses and some wires,
01:59 walk away with the front clip, and take everything out in one shot.
02:02 Should work pretty smooth.
02:04 Try that?
02:05 Good.
02:06 Maybe.
02:07 [MOTOR RUNNING]
02:09 Thanks, buddy.
02:10 So far, we've not leaked anything.
02:12 Yeah, we'll get there.
02:14 The day's not over, buddy.
02:15 So here's a little tech tip for you.
02:17 On this car, it doesn't matter so much.
02:18 But on most cars, when you're taking the front clip off,
02:20 or even adjusting doors or fenders or anything,
02:23 there's a certain amount of body shims behind each bolt.
02:26 On this car, there are two right here.
02:29 There was two in the front and two over here.
02:31 It's important to remember where all those shims are.
02:34 If you want your front end to go back on the way it came off.
02:38 OK, so as you can see, there's a couple of bolt holes here
02:40 and a bracket that's all mangled behind that,
02:42 and a giant dent that we didn't do, if you can believe that one.
02:45 Instead of putting the bolts back in there and securing everything,
02:48 they just welded the back of the fender, which is completely roadkill.
02:51 So to stay with the whole theme of roadkill,
02:53 I'm just going to chisel it apart, and then we'll put bolts back in it later.
02:57 [MOTOR RUNNING]
03:00 I think that's it.
03:03 [MOTOR RUNNING]
03:06 [METAL CLANGING]
03:09 A little bit of weight here.
03:12 Yeah, it's heavy, huh?
03:15 So as you can see, we yanked the whole front end off in one piece.
03:18 Now we have all this access to the engine and transmission,
03:21 and this car has a sort of complicated exhaust manifold setup,
03:24 so it's nice that we have all the access here to start dismantling stuff,
03:27 get ready to pull the engine and trans out of the car.
03:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:33 [METAL CLANGING]
03:36 Do-de-do-do.
03:43 It's dripping.
03:44 Let me get a--
03:46 Stick it in there.
03:47 My name is-- we don't have the plug yet.
03:49 What?
03:50 Find the plug, dude.
03:51 That was fun.
03:52 Good job.
03:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:57 [METAL CLANGING]
04:00 OK, so we have the old engine out of the bone marrow,
04:13 and we're keeping this thing low buck.
04:15 And true to form, we went on Craigslist,
04:17 and we bought another Junkyard 5.3 LM7--
04:20 Quickslist.
04:21 --for $500.
04:22 And here it is.
04:23 What do you think?
04:24 I'm just not thrilled.
04:25 Yeah, it's not my favorite.
04:26 I hope the guts are good.
04:27 Yeah, because it doesn't look pretty.
04:29 The skin looks like poo.
04:30 If I had to guess by looking at it, I would say this has 180,000 miles.
04:34 Yeah, this is a hard 115,000.
04:36 Yeah, I don't feel-- I see spiders, spiderwebs, garbage, rust, gunk, dirt.
04:42 Yeah, there's some stuff over here.
04:43 Corrosion, broken bolts.
04:45 Well, the upside is we're taking everything from here up off.
04:48 Up off, yeah.
04:49 So we'll use the old heads with the valve springs in them.
04:52 Good heads, yeah.
04:53 We'll use our old camshaft and stuff.
04:54 Like brand new, got 10 miles on it.
04:56 We'll just use this short block and all those--
04:57 Lifters, too.
04:58 Yeah, the lifters and stuff.
04:59 ARP head bolts.
05:00 Head bolts off that.
05:01 Oil pan's already modified.
05:02 Yep.
05:03 So we'll use the short block here.
05:05 This should be-- yeah.
05:06 What could go wrong?
05:07 Everything.
05:08 Pretty much everything.
05:09 All right, let's do it.
05:10 All right, let's go.
05:11 Wow.
05:15 Could be worse.
05:16 Yeah, no, no, that looks good.
05:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:20 No holes.
05:29 We're doing good so far.
05:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:33 We've got the heads off the new motor,
05:41 and it doesn't look too bad inside.
05:42 Yeah, we got something to work with here.
05:44 Seems to move freely.
05:45 There's no crazy cracking, pitting, signs of detonation,
05:48 nothing.
05:49 It's dirty, but the internals are pretty clean.
05:51 So let's push this thing to the side.
05:53 I really want to know what's wrong with the old engine.
05:55 Let's tear it apart.
05:56 We'll look for signs of distress.
05:58 What do you think?
05:59 I feel distressed now.
06:00 Yeah, let's go.
06:01 All right.
06:02 I'll pull this.
06:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:06 I would say, looking at this engine,
06:12 we had a ton of blow-by, and it started to sputter and smoke.
06:16 I think, potentially, cracked ring, broken piston,
06:21 hole in the piston.
06:23 I vote for, yeah, you rolled the ring, ate the cylinder,
06:27 and took off the top of a piston.
06:29 That's mine, broke a lip off a piston.
06:30 Good, we'll see.
06:31 Somebody's antenna just went up.
06:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:41 It's crazy.
06:42 Look at the rust right there, just raw rust dripping out.
06:45 Keep it sleepy.
06:48 Oh, my name is Tony.
06:51 Yeah, this is the one.
06:53 We found the broke one.
06:55 So we pulled off the driver's side cylinder head,
06:57 and on the rear-most cylinder, you can see complete failure.
07:01 There is a melted-down piston.
07:03 That's a piece of ring right there.
07:04 There's a ring.
07:05 And there's a hole in the cylinder.
07:07 A melted-down piston.
07:08 That's a piece of ring right there.
07:10 There's a ring jammed up through the side of this thing.
07:12 It was not happy.
07:13 It either detonated pretty hard or got crazy hot.
07:18 Yeah, this thing went full Tony.
07:19 Yeah.
07:20 That's what happened.
07:21 Didn't make it.
07:22 She didn't make it.
07:23 I noticed a minute ago, when you were talking about driving,
07:24 it was you, you, you.
07:25 But now it's we, we, we.
07:26 Yeah, we definitely had a problem.
07:27 We had a big problem in here.
07:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:36 We've got our Junkyard 5.3 long block that we bought
07:39 broken down to the short block.
07:41 We took everything that we need off the old engine.
07:43 It's sitting over on a table.
07:44 And we're getting ready to put it all together.
07:46 But one thing we're going to do that we skipped last time
07:48 is that we're going to open up the gap on the piston rings
07:51 to make them more turbo-friendly.
07:52 Last time, we knew we needed to do that.
07:54 We knew, but we skipped it.
07:55 Why?
07:56 Because we were trying to get to the track.
07:58 Yeah.
07:59 Anyway, this time, we're going to pull the pistons out.
08:00 We're going to open up those ring gaps,
08:02 make sure they're perfect, put everything back together
08:04 with new rod bearings and main bearings, and cross our fingers,
08:07 bolt it together, and hit the track.
08:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:11 I'm knocking it out.
08:13 Yeah, here, come take a look at this.
08:15 So what me and Tony are tripping out on
08:17 is you can't see any cast mark or any line that's
08:20 machined here at all.
08:22 It looks like it's just a rod cap bolt going into a rod.
08:26 And as soon as you do that, you take it apart.
08:29 Can you look close at that?
08:30 It looks like it's not machined.
08:32 It's broken off after it's cast and then assembled.
08:35 It's weird.
08:36 It's the strangest thing ever.
08:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:42 [METAL CLANKING]
08:45 So we got our junkyard motor all torn down.
09:07 We got all the pistons out on the bench, all cleaned up, ready to go.
09:10 Last thing we have to do before we reassemble it
09:12 is gap all the piston rings.
09:13 Here's Tony with your Lincoln Tech Tip
09:15 to tell you exactly what gapping does.
09:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:20 Welcome back to another Lincoln Tech Tip.
09:23 Today, we're going to talk about piston rings, their gaps,
09:26 and what they do.
09:27 Now, the piston ring performs a unique function
09:29 for each one of the four strokes of a four-cycle engine.
09:32 So on the intake stroke, the rings seal up the combustion chamber
09:35 and make sure that no air or oil get in there.
09:37 Next, during the combustion stroke,
09:39 the rings make sure that the air and oil mixture
09:41 stay in the combustion chamber and are properly
09:43 compressed before they're ignited.
09:45 During the power stroke, the rings make sure that that burning mixture
09:48 doesn't get past the rings and into the crankcase
09:50 as those gases are pushing the piston down.
09:53 Finally, during the exhaust stroke, the rings
09:55 make sure that everything that's been spent inside the combustion chamber
09:58 is pushed out and none of it makes it into the crankcase.
10:01 On to piston ring gap.
10:02 Piston rings will expand when warm, and you
10:04 will set that end gap to take into account the thermal expansion
10:07 and aim for best sealing once that engine is warm.
10:10 A gap that is way too tight can actually close up
10:13 once the engine is warmed up, causing a ton of friction in the cylinder,
10:16 and if it's really tight, it could even break a piston.
10:18 Now, if the gap is too big, the engine will have too much crankcase pressure,
10:21 have a ton of blow-by, burn oil, and lack proper cylinder sealing.
10:25 Different engine setups need different ring gaps,
10:27 and it's mostly dependent on how much fuel is being burned.
10:30 The more fuel, the more heat, and the more those rings are going to expand,
10:34 the bigger the gap that will be needed.
10:36 Modified engines will need a bigger ring gap than stock,
10:38 and turbo or blower nitrous engines will need an even larger gap.
10:42 Now, all piston ring manufacturers will give you a ring gap specification,
10:45 and that's the best route to follow.
10:47 Now that we're all experts on piston rings and gaps, let's get back to this job.
10:51 Lincoln Tech can teach you how to have a career working with cars.
10:55 See lincolntech.edu.
10:58 [Music]
11:10 So we've got all the pistons out of our junkyard 5.3 engine
11:13 that we're going to use for the bone marrow,
11:15 and I'm going to open up the ring gap to be happier with the turbo.
11:17 That means setting the top ring at 28 thousandths and the bottom ring at 30 thousandths.
11:21 Now, when you take them off, you want to keep the top and bottom separate,
11:24 keep track of them, and keep top and bottom of each ring in order as well.
11:28 Now, this is pretty simple.
11:30 You're going to put it into the cylinder.
11:32 You want to make sure you get it flat in the cylinder,
11:34 and you want to get it far in enough in case there's a taper that you're still going to get a good reading.
11:37 So that means using one of the pistons,
11:41 and I'm going to just slide it down.
11:42 That's going to keep the ring nice and flat,
11:44 and I'm going to push it down until about the skirt bottoms out.
11:48 Then I'll go in with some feeler gauges and check the gap.
11:51 This is a lower ring, so we're going for 30 thousandths.
11:54 This looks like it's right now about 26 thousandths,
11:57 so I've got a little bit of material to take off.
11:59 Our little setup here for ring gap is just a ring file we bought off of Summit.
12:02 It's nice and cheap, like 50 bucks.
12:04 We motorized it because Lucky didn't want to hand crank this thing all day,
12:08 and it's basically about keeping this really flat
12:11 so that the end of the ring butts up nicely and square against the cutting tool
12:15 so that when you're done and this is in the cylinder,
12:18 you have a nice parallel gap.
12:21 So now that I'm all set up, I've got 16 of these things to do.
12:28 It's a little bit tedious, but take your time.
12:30 Your patience will be rewarded.
12:31 This is a super critical part of your engine.
12:34 All right, clean it off and measure it in.
12:41 So I'm not really putting a deep hone on these cylinders.
12:47 There's a little bit of glaze on there and a little bit of carbon buildup.
12:50 Just knocking that stuff off before I clean it,
12:52 and then we start putting it back together.
13:15 So we've got that 5.3 block all cleaned up.
13:17 The pistons are ready to go back in.
13:19 We hit up our buddies at Rock Auto and figured we would splurge a little bit,
13:23 and we got a high-performance oil pump and new rod bearings.
13:27 Nice.
13:28 Yeah.
13:29 So we have new rod bearings in here with some engine assembly lube
13:33 on the bearing surface to keep it lubricated during the initial startup.
13:37 That's correct.
13:38 And then we're just going to hose down the oil rings,
13:40 the sides of the pistons, everything,
13:42 just to make everything go a little bit easier during the install.
13:44 When you do put these in, it's nice to put the first and second rings,
13:48 the gaps on the opposite side of each other,
13:51 to give you a little bit better sealing.
13:53 Ready?
13:54 Yeah.
13:55 All right.
13:56 You did it, buddy.
14:02 Oh, I know.
14:03 Common mistakes are the edge of the journal on the crankshaft
14:13 on the outside edges of the journal are chamfered.
14:16 And so if you take a look here at the main cap and also on the bearing,
14:19 there's a chamfer here that matches that.
14:21 The inside is flush because they rub right next to something.
14:25 And I've seen it and done it myself where you assemble it backwards.
14:31 And it all goes together just great, but the rod's facing the wrong direction.
14:36 I've got the crankshaft from the old Bone Marrow 5.3.
14:42 This is an upgraded unit.
14:44 It's set up for high lift and short duration, good for forced induction.
14:49 And it still looks in pretty good shape, so we're going to use it on the new engine.
14:52 So if you've ever worked on an LS motor, you'll know that when you put the timing cover on,
15:05 the holes aren't super precise.
15:06 You can move the timing cover up and down.
15:08 If you assemble the motor and it's upside right,
15:10 the timing cover tries to hang down further than where the oil pan mounts.
15:14 So it's good to leave it loose until the oil pan's bolted on.
15:17 And then when you tighten these two front bolts, it will self-align the timing cover
15:20 and then tighten it all together.
15:22 Lucky's tech tip, don't play with matches.
15:25 So we've got the short block all together.
15:28 We're going to use these LS9 head gaskets that we used last time.
15:30 You can get them around 50 bucks a piece.
15:32 They're a nice multi-layer gasket.
15:34 It's a pretty good deal.
15:35 Which side's the front?
15:36 It says front on it.
15:39 The real tragedy of this whole thing is that
15:41 if we would have just got the right converter in it the first time,
15:44 I think we would have hit 10s.
15:45 Or after maybe six or eight passes, we would have said,
15:48 "You know, this isn't going to work. We need to get more bark."
15:51 Yeah, but we didn't. We just kept trying.
15:53 This show's all about having fun, and we had a lot of fun that day.
15:56 Yeah, we beat it to death, and that's what's a bummer.
15:58 So I think now that we have the motor going back together right,
16:02 set the boost properly with that converter,
16:05 we should be in there.
16:08 In theory.
16:09 We should hit 10s.
16:10 So our schedule was rocking. We were right on point.
16:32 Were we not? Everything was going smooth.
16:35 We were doing a pretty good job.
16:36 Putting the heads on, we found out that the outside bolts
16:38 on the first generation of the LS 5.3 were short on the outside,
16:42 and all the rest of them were long.
16:45 As in a lot longer.
16:47 And so then we found out the second generation, a mid-year change?
16:51 It's a mid-year change. This is supposed to be an '03 block.
16:54 They changed mid-year '03, kind of boned us.
16:57 And we had to spend $130 on them.
16:59 Another $130.
17:00 There goes the schedule and the budget.
17:02 But we got the bolts. It's going together again.
17:05 You know what these are?
17:27 Trundian bearings. Don't they sound like French food?
17:30 So we've got the pushrods and now the rockers installed.
17:37 And one tip you want to remember is that when you're torquing the rockers down,
17:40 they want you to spin the engine around so that the rockers are unloaded
17:43 or on the base circle of the camshaft for that cylinder
17:46 to get a nice, accurate torque reading.
17:48 So tell me when that's unloaded.
17:50 Stop. I see nothing moving.
17:53 22?
17:55 22.
17:56 22.
17:57 A little more.
17:59 Stop.
18:00 Stop.
18:04 So now that we've got the rockers all torqued down,
18:09 we're going to install a fresh set of NGK BR7 EF plugs.
18:13 And I gaffed them pretty tight. 0.025.
18:17 Wow.
18:18 In case we want to get the boost crazy.
18:20 In case?
18:21 You know, when, whatever.
18:22 So why am I standing here holding this?
18:24 I don't know, man.
18:25 You want to start tightening up spark plugs in the middle of my project over here?
18:27 In the middle of your project? Yeah, I don't want to forget about them.
18:29 Like the other two on the other side you forgot about?
18:31 What are you talking about?
18:32 Those two you forgot about.
18:33 I'm making stuff up.
18:34 I got it. Get in your project.
18:36 I'll just leave these for later and we'll just make sure.
18:38 We'll make sure we remember them.
18:40 You tighten those in post?
18:41 [music]
18:55 My mom says I'm doing a great job.
18:57 Back.
19:00 So we're going to pick this engine up.
19:02 We're going to wheel the transmission in on that dolly,
19:04 mate them together, throw them in the car,
19:06 and since we have the front end off of it,
19:08 we're going to sort of do the rest of the accessories,
19:10 the exhaust manifolds, the turbo system, with everything in the car.
19:16 Oh my God, stop doing this.
19:19 It's beautiful.
19:25 We've got the engine in the car, and we are now figuring out the wiring harness.
19:29 Yeah, we figured it out once before.
19:30 We figured it out once before, but we also didn't label or mark anything.
19:33 There's some extra stuff here.
19:36 You ready for this, Tony?
19:37 Yeah, it looks like all the gaskets are in there.
19:40 On my side.
19:41 Dude, I'm excited.
19:42 This is going to be fun.
19:43 Yeah, we're getting there.
19:44 We're getting there.
19:45 Work your side.
19:47 [music]
20:03 Have you ever noticed how the shop is always clean and organized?
20:06 We'll make a big mess one day and come in the next day and the place is spotless.
20:09 It's all because of Tech Center Kalen on Instagram.
20:11 You guys should tell him thank you for us.
20:13 Mm-hmm.
20:14 Huh, Tony?
20:15 Absolutely.
20:16 Follow that guy.

20:34 Now that the turbo's back on the car, we're going to put the front end on,
20:37 hook everything up, and fire it up.
20:39 Lightweight racing front end?
20:40 Oh, yeah, this thing.
20:41 Ready?
20:42 Uh-huh.
20:45 This thing weighs so much.
20:47 It's just like half a car.
20:49 Extremely heavy.
20:50 [music]
20:57 I made it.
20:58 There it is.
20:59 I've got to take a rest.
21:01 You heard me.
21:02 Where?
21:03 I'm going to go get the tire.
21:04 Yeah.
21:06 The engine is back in the car.
21:07 We put the front end on.
21:08 We connected the turbo to the intercooler.
21:10 All the accessories are on.
21:12 All the wiring is done, and we're about to fire this thing up.
21:14 So you know why I'm standing over here?
21:15 Yes.
21:16 There's going to be a whole lot of racket over there.
21:18 Indeed.
21:19 Do you know why?
21:20 Because the Roco guys stole our exhaust.
21:21 Those guys, I swear.
21:23 Here we go.
21:25 [engine revving]
21:39 All right, this thing runs.
21:40 It smokes, but it sounds all right.
21:41 Yeah, I like it.
21:43 We've got a couple things to button up before the track.
21:45 The front end is about to fall off.
21:46 Bolt that on.
21:47 I'm going to put in a better boost gauge.
21:49 All right.
21:50 Auto meter.
21:51 Yeah, we're going to tie down a couple things
21:53 to make sure it's full of gas, and then we'll head to the track.
21:56 Which track this time?
21:58 Famoso.
21:59 I love Famoso.
22:00 Yes.
22:01 You know what that means?
22:02 It means the crazy tiger in Spanish.
22:03 Yeah, OK.
22:04 It's going to be awesome.
22:05 All right, and we're going to run 10s.
22:06 Let's go.
22:07 10s.
22:08 [music playing]
22:10 [engine revving]
22:12 [music playing]
22:14 So we've got the bone marrow with that Junkyard Fresh 5.3
22:25 out here at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield,
22:28 and I'm stoked.
22:29 You ready to run this thing?
22:30 Did you just read that off the side of the truck?
22:32 I did.
22:33 I thought you had that memorized.
22:34 That's a good job.
22:35 Dude, let's do something.
22:36 Here's the thing.
22:37 I've done this already and tried to run that number,
22:39 and it didn't work out.
22:40 This is the HRG remix.
22:41 It is.
22:42 [record scratch]
22:43 So some of the troubles we had were a blown up turbo,
22:45 a car that made no power, shifted,
22:48 it wouldn't go into gear, and an exhaust, it just wasn't there.
22:51 So you're batting 100.
22:53 Yeah, it was a disaster.
22:54 Don't even touch it, it breaks.
22:56 Make it go boom.
22:57 Make it go boom.
22:58 So we're back now, and we've got the bone marrow back in shape.
23:01 It's got a new turbocharger.
23:02 Mm, new turbo.
23:03 We took it to Church's auto testing, and it put down 550 wheel horsepower.
23:07 57.
23:08 We sprung for a decent shifter.
23:10 Yes.
23:11 And you made a cool little hater pipe.
23:12 Hater, hater pipe.
23:13 Da-da!
23:14 I'm actually really excited to get this thing on track.
23:16 It's 830 in the morning, it's super hot here.
23:18 It's only going to get worse, so I think it's time to go.
23:20 Let's go.
23:21 Spent a couple bucks on this thing,
23:23 because we want to hit those 10s, and it's time to see how it goes.
23:32 Keep going.
23:33 Good.
23:37 Launch.
23:38 Oh yeah, she has to jump to it now.
23:52 [Engine revving]
23:54 [Laughter]
24:17 Well, a lot of oil came out of this thing.
24:21 But it ran hard.
24:23 Dude, did you just see that?
24:24 First pass, 10.96.
24:26 Yes!
24:29 Woo!
24:30 Yeah!
24:33 All right.
24:34 Woo!
24:36 10 seconds.
24:37 I think it exploded.
24:39 We did it.
24:40 Woo!
24:42 First pass.
24:43 First one.
24:44 Yes!
24:46 Some stuff happened here.
24:50 You hit a bug.
24:51 Nice job, buddy.
24:52 Woo!
24:53 So, all that is from that freaking breather cap.
24:55 Oh, man.
24:56 Yeah, we did it.
24:57 Yeah, I'm stoked, dude.
24:58 Wow.
24:59 You know how I said I didn't want to drive it?
25:00 Woo!
25:01 Yeah, I want to drive it now.
25:02 It goes pretty straight.
25:03 Yeah, I saw that.
25:04 I was like, "It's smoking a lot, but we're going fast.
25:06 I'm just going to hold on to it."
25:08 But it ran pretty clean.
25:09 Yeah, check this out.
25:10 You had a good reaction time.
25:12 1.34.
25:14 Nice.
25:15 Not terrible.
25:16 1.22.
25:17 Speed's a little down, but--
25:18 Yeah.
25:19 Hell yeah.
25:20 That is awesome.
25:23 Stoked right there.
25:24 All right, so we did it.
25:25 10-second car.
25:26 Piece of cake.
25:27 We built one.
25:28 We did spend more than $10,000.
25:29 On which turbo?
25:30 I don't even know.
25:31 Which motor?
25:32 We haven't spent a fortune yet.
25:33 I'm having fun.
25:34 I think it'd be cool to see how much further we can go and stay on the cheap.
25:38 Yeah.
25:39 Eight seconds, maybe?
25:40 Kind?
25:41 Yeah.
25:42 What can we do with this thing?
25:43 You guys are talking roll cage, gears, E85.
25:44 E85.
25:45 E85.
25:46 There you go.
25:47 All right, but maybe that's down the road.
