Atlas Industries 🥰👍🏾
That intake manifold is actually incredible hahaha. Awesome video. Great updates.
Your faster than a Harley now!
That's so bizarre that they snap that easy but it looked like the broken bolt shanks came out easy. That's so cool that's the cylinder head you have I remember when he did that head!
What a sled!
IT was super cool seeing you guys at the event and i am looking forward to next year :D
Yanking that block trying to move it reminds me of my late 20’s dragging 302/351 Cleveland’s around my yard with a heavy duty 2 wheeler 😂 Just watching that made my back hurt and memories of breaking down and grabbing a lawn tractor to finish the pulling tasks 😂😂😂
+1 for romantic classical music in your videos +1 for fast wagons
What motor oil do you run ,I run penn grade green oil 50w in my 383 sbc, the best decision I ever made.
We use Valvoline VR1. It's been treating us well.
@@Calvin-Nelson you won,t be sorry if you which to the green oil.
What core is that you used on the IC? Loks great. have you looked into the volvo brushless fans? They are monsters. Have a 14x14x3.5 radiator completely blocked by the IC and it cools plenty.
It's two CX Racing cores.
3:30 that's the thing though... Loads of people do run 90 degree wastegate setups like that and it works fine. There's plenty of very experienced and successful manifold builders that are doing it with a wastegate coming off at 90 degrees. Maybe it becomes an issue at really high boost levels but for most of us running less than 2 bar of boost its really a non issue
If it works for you, that's great. I'm just trying to help people that are starting from scratch.
Helicoil on a head stud sounds like a bad idea. Diesel pump UK has a video where he used a solid steel threaded insert and that looks like a better solution as long as there is enough material once the hole is oversized for the larger thread.
Seems to be holding fine. I bet having a stud helps.
look into upgrading your fans to the GM Brushless fans found in the new sparks, trucks, and camaros. My Camaro 19" fan moves an insane amount of air and I no longer even look at my coolant temps as they just don't rise anymore.
Nice. I'm looking at Silverado fans.
Great job Calvin! Curious. Why throw away monetization money on copyrighted songs? Why not use music from the royalty free library KZread has? Keep up the great work.
Thanks. Not sure what you're talking about. All the music is royalty free.
The tiny dyno fan is funny
We usually spend a lot of time between pulls analyzing data and looking things over. Little fans can do a lot if you give them the time.
I think I know the answer,but do you build your own oil pans?
Yes
For the overheating try VP stay frosty. It is a water-based coolant. It does not have glycol so it will not help you against freeze protection, but it absolutely helps against overheat and it helps prevent corrosion so it’s better than adding just water and water wetter.
Yeah. Most of the racing we do requires water. If it has any color to it, they won't let us run.
Awesome fab work and it goes good now. Can only imagne it will be better. Cool to hear norwegian music (Edward Grieg, In The Hall Of The Mountain King or I Dovregubbens hall) as a norse 🙂
When it comes to intercoolers the rule of thumb is 70% of the cubic inch of the core is your power level recommendation. So if you have a 1000 in.³ core 700 hp is the recommended limit to the wheels. the only core that I know of that can perform that is Garrett intercooler cord, which will easily do one wheel horsepower per cubic inch. This goes for running gas cars went running ethanol. You can’t get away with a smaller core.
We've gotten away with smaller cores many many times with lots of success. A larger intercooler can't hurt.
Are you 100% sure Cyl #3 didn't got lean by an injector problem? Are you running detonation sensors? What about a water to air intercooler?
An injector problem is a fuel delivery problem. No detonation sensors. They were too unreliable when I tried them. I don't have anywhere I am willing to put an ice tank. I'll stick with the air to air for now.
Would of been so cool if you showed all the different atlas swaps at that event 😢
I couldn't get away from my pit area to go look at them.
I would love to see how a higher revving 4200 NA setup would perform. And a boosted one, both for drifting applecation. Because of the torque it might be a great alternative to the 2JZ. Maybe a collab with Trevor from Motion Auto TV. He already visited you if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah. Turbos are so much easier. We are working on an NA build, but it will not be cheap.
@@Calvin-Nelson how high does the engine rev stock? In the footage I saw over 7000rpm. The Stock power and torque is already enough for some basic grassroots drifting.
Needs a..green top!!! (Barra) 😉
Where's the fun in that?
Are you running a surge tank yet? Seems like a no brainer with past fuel problems and all the injectors you’re going to run. I’ve seen tanks with 3 pumps in them. No way you’ll lean out an engine with a setup like that.
It's not so much a fuel delivery issue to the engine, it's a fuel delivery issue to that particular cylinder.
The 4200 is looking better and better every time Calvin, a whole bunch of little things is what makes a great big difference. And yeah, my new Northstar engine block is sitting in my front foyer and I just keep glareing at those three broken off main brearing bolts. But every time i walk past it I'm loving it more and more. A small problem is, is I'm REALLY slow at getting my projects finished, i think it's got something to do with a thing called "fundage?"😂 Thanks and great to here from ya again.
Have you tried time-serts for headbolt thread repair? The other possibility would be upping the stud diameter.
I haven't. I have never had the need.
can you get one replacement piston .005 over. Asking for a friend.
It would be custom order.
GMC used to put 302 cid inline 6cylinders in their 1950's trucks & I wonder what kind of miracles you guys could pull off with one of those? Or even a 292cid inline 6 that GMC put in their 2 wheel drive trucks in the 70's & 80's?
Can you find some factory electric fans single or dual that you can make fit ? , I have removed plenty of struggling spall type fans and fitted factory electric fans with great success , just an idea
Working on it.
glad its back together :-) all the best to you and your family... I drift but am considering building a drag car... I may go atlas T400 🙂
Have you thought about trying to run a dual fuel like holley offers? Pump gas until 5-7 lbs, then switch to methanol. I am aware holley currently doesn't support vvt in this engine.
That's essentially what I will be doing.
Would a smaller air to water intercooler work?
Probably. I just have no place I'm willing to put an ice tank
I really hope you're atlas builds wake people up to the 4.2. I have a BARE BONES. 2002 Trailblazer that used to be a OCFD fire vehicle in CA i want to make a sleeper out of. The piatons, the cam and getting this stuff made is intimidating. No lie but knowing it can be done is priceless
line2line coatings is a good options for skirt wear on a cupple pistons like you had.
Yep. Good tip. Didn't have time to wait
Are you running a maxx ecu on this car? What dash are you using? Very cool car!
Yes. It's a Tinker Dash.
Big gainz 💪 Congrats to you and your family, Calvin. All that hard work and engineering pays off
Another awesome video!!
I was going through some of the older videos, and I saw the one with Northstar build. In it, you mention the stud kit from Northstar Performance. I got curious and saw that they also have a kit for the Atlas family. I borked up one of the threads while doing an extraction, so I'm debating biting the bullet and getting the kit while the engine is on the stand. Do you have any experience as far as that kit goes?
I was not aware they had an Atlas kit. I'm not familiar with it.
Another awesome video!!
Awesome progress Calvin, stoked for you brother. ✌ 🇦🇺
Can you email the flange file? I am thinking about a northstar in my supra.
Sure. Just email me at [email protected]
Hell yeah. Nice job man.
I need to make it out to the Atlas Nationals next year.
Get and under tray on there and duct the grill openings to the radiator and block the other openings. You want all the air entering the front of the car to go through the radiator and none to bypass it. And the under tray will also help lower the air pressure in the engine bay which also helps the air go through the radiator. You’ll also reduce drag as a side benefit.
Bolt knockers how to use. Ensure that there’s enough air pressure to properly drive the knocker. Do not try to undo the bolt while knocking. Apply torque that is insufficient to undo or break the bolt while knocking and be patient . If there’s more than one bolt knock each one first before applying torque. Then apply torque in sequence. Then give up and get the big breaker bar and a nice set of ezouts.
Mine didn't come with instructions. I don't think it is going to help. I tried a variety of techniques. If it was going to snap it snapped. Didn't matter. Ezouts are the way. Super easy
@@Calvin-Nelson . I was being humorous but that is the instructions, you want the hammering to break the seal not the torque. But in all likelihood you are absolutely right that if they’re destined to break no technique and save them.
Outstanding. Love this channel
I love it when a plan comes together
Anything on the studebaker🙏
Nothing
@@Calvin-Nelson 🥺damn looks like someone would have seen something keep hope alive maybe one day somebody will see it and you will get it back. I sure hope so. I love the car. Keep up the good work you do.
So good to see you back in action! The main problem is it is a Ford heheheh....OFC it will be broken down all the time.
Might be onto something there.
Holy moly that run in the intro was insane!
