Mommy, do some work today on the 01 We've got a lazy thermostat when you change taking over to my buddy Bowtie Bridges house and we're gonna change.

That is actually the master mechanic who built the engine in this car when I had the engine ripped out at, like, 5000 miles and completely overhauled.

And so we're on drive over there today, Hang out with him to see another friend and do some car stuff today.

And if you go in for that sort of thing and what, you going to hop in with me and go along for the ride?

So when I leave early in the morning, I hate waking up the family.

So when the nice things about this car is, even though I have my straight through exhaust, I use on track, I think the stock muffler on when I'm on the street So all the 800 plus horsepower that's in this thing doesn't wake up the whole freaking neighborhood when I started.

So you just go to engine management put it in stealth mode.

The valves turn on which block off a whole different Divert er in the muffler and super quiet.

Well, I don't know how quiet that actually sounds on the mic.

The whole neighborhood would have woken up right now.

This is Mike Bowtie Bridges guys to see me.

Tag him on Instagram We are working on the 01 I mentioned before we before I drove out here today that the thermostat is is sticking mostly in the closed position.

We're assuming the car runs about 20 degrees, 30 degrees hotter than it should.

So we're gonna actually do the boil test with this too.

I brought my fluke thermometer so that we can boil it and see where it's actually opening.

If it's opening at all, I think we're gonna maybe go old school, too.

And, uh, well, this this thermostat we have already has a hole in it, right?

Okay, so it's already got the little bleeder hole in it, which is it's nice that lets a little bit of coolant through.

It'll take a little bit longer to warm up.

But also more importantly, let's air through so that we don't get air pockets of steam buildup in the engine.

I have checked the levels in this coolant a 1,000,000 times since this problem started.

I'm pretty sure there's no air in the system, but we're gonna find out today.

Uh, least enough cooling out to get it below the thermostat, which is right there except nice shiny thermostat housing.

It's actually l s three style billet housing.

And to be honest, I don't think I ever told you guys what I did to this car.

So maybe at some point today we'll go over the parts list.

Don't even think I remember all the parts we put in here.

But, uh, yeah, Mike built it, though, so he knows.

It's kind of a cookie cutter sheet of parts that go into these stage three bills.

This black zeal, one he's got right here, though this is a customer car that well, according to Mike, the guy just basically pointed at the catalog and said, I want everything.

So I guess his goals, like 1200 horsepower in this black one.

So I'll tell you properly void the warranty and a 2018 01 You take the heads off to supercharge or off, you send it all out for porting and stuff.

When you when you built it, that's his weight reduction.

The thing with most of the mods in my engine here is most of it's not visible.

So we've got a, uh, got obviously a cam in there.

We've got E 85 flex fuel, all the air P studs, titanium valve springs.

The whole valve train was kind of improved to deal with the cam.

And, uh, you know, the obviously the a little bit higher rpm that we got out of it.

This is our catch can right here with the vented catch.

Can I've got this shield to protect it from water because, unfortunately, the drip tray, which is off right now drips right onto this when I washed the car.

Oh, Fab intake, Tony Memo reported throughout the body.

There's a terrible step in there when you first when the air enters, so that step has been smoothed out.

Uh, American racing long to headers on their one and 7/8 going down into a three inch all the way back to right now, which is a stock muffler.

But I have a V band on that's that I can easily remove it.

My stainless works on which is way too loud for the street.

We have GSX fuel system so it does have an added fuel pump on the bottom of the tank will be working on that today to put in different fitting in there, but that's obviously got its own fuel controller for that.

You kind of see the led under there somewhere.

Maybe not, but anyway, that's to deal with the 85 the extra fuel that's needed, which, as if this car needed more fuel being pumped in the engine.

When I got 85 going and I'm cruising, I'm at approximately the 11 or 12 miles per gallon.

I'm probably gonna be reaching about four if that I'm from the car.

We've got extremely upgraded air cooler for the supercharger.

Obviously, it's air, the water, inter cooler, the core.

And this is actually a C in our core, which is one of the best brand that you can get in terms of reliability and racing applications.

And I also have a CNR racing radiator in there as well.

You can kind of see it obviously, right there.

So cooling is a big aspect to this build on what you can't see behind the fender here is actually a one and 1/2 gallon tank for a reservoir.

So, yes, you guys always telling me Go custom Lupo ago.

With that, that joke, everyone thinks is original.

We actually did a custom water loop in here.

You can't really see it because it's all hidden and looks very factory.

For the most part, And then that's the thermostat housing I was telling you about right there.

So the stock thermostat housing is Ah, is a plastic piece with a fairly restrictive thermostat.

Smaller thermostat that's a 1 60 Or right now it's more like a 200 but it's not really opening.

And then I've got my Arrow Force gauge is right there, which hook directly into the computer port.

And then I consider the gauges to anything that I want.

So, yeah, the car is definitely not stopped by any means.

We were hitting 700 wheel horsepower on a Mustang dino when the intakes were overheating because we had a issue where the supercharger cooling bricks inside the supercharger.

At least Mike had a fun time tracing that, didn't you?

It was kind of funny on the OnStar system, seeing the car like constantly driving because you were trying to figure that that issue.
