00:01We are thrilled to have Sam's Garage back here with us live this year getting coverage on all nine days of the event.
00:07A great team that's going to be putting out a whole new series this year. You want to make sure you check it out. It's going to be great.
00:14Welcome to Sam's Garage presented by NH Oil Undercoding.
00:30First, 135 classics take on The Great Race, Nine Days of Precision, Teamwork, and Pure Americana from Minnesota to South Carolina.
00:57Then the journey continues through Pontiac down Route 66, where family, heritage, and hometown pride keep this rally alive.
01:07Back at the shop, Southfield Classics pushes electric power to new limits with an 800-volt motor packing 750 horsepower.
01:17And finally, we go full fast and furious as Lacy's Civic Type R gets serious performance upgrades, proving that power comes in all forms.
01:27We have 135-plus cars in The Great Race.
01:34Checkpoints along the way that they don't know in advance, and so the goal is you're going to stay on target.
01:40From start to finish, it's like family to me.
01:42Keeping it maintained, keeping it running hard. It's a complete family member. It's an experience.
01:47All the workers, all the towns that have been welcoming us.
01:50Winning an ace in The Great Race is just, it's one of the things that just lifts you up.
01:54Were we on time and everybody else was wrong? Were they on time and we were wrong?
01:58I guess we'll find out tonight.
02:00The Great Race is brought to you by Car Capsule.
02:03From roadside fixes to hometown welcomes, The Great Race brings people together for nine days of challenge, camaraderie, and pure adventure across America.
02:14The spirit of this race started back in St. Paul in the starting line when Della and her mom, Anna, were in their Mustang.
02:20They were right in front of me, and they heard a noise.
02:22I saw them jumping out of the car to see what was going on.
02:24And everybody, three strangers from the show and myself, went into the engine bay to see what was going on.
02:29And it was the fan shroud, correct?
02:31Yep.
02:31So we had to take control of the fan shroud.
02:34We tried to adjust it.
02:35They tried many different times.
02:36Finally, we cut it out.
02:37No problems.
02:38She's gone three days.
02:40She had another problem today.
02:41Tell us about that.
02:42It's been a hard day.
02:42Hard few days.
02:43We were just going, and it sounded like we had a flat tire, and then it was kind of shaking, and I thought, oh, a magnet fell off.
02:51Our weight fell off.
02:52The acceleration was weird.
02:53The rim.
02:54We finished that leg, and we had a break before lunch, and we decided to pull into the local Jeep dealership.
03:04It's a good thing we drove by one.
03:05Absolutely.
03:05Because it was on the way to our lunch stop.
03:07Yeah, and they saved us.
03:09They test drove the car around, and they figured out what the problem was, which was the spark wires.
03:15It was not the tire.
03:16It was not the tire.
03:17It makes it feel like a torque remurder or a transmission, you know, but it's a misfire.
03:20Yeah, yeah.
03:20And it was arcing on the alternators, so they were very nice.
03:23They taped everything apart, separated from the metal, zip-tied them away so she could continue on.
03:27You got in front of us and took off.
03:29Which is my favorite part.
03:31Very impressed with all the work that goes on behind the scenes, how they find the routes, you know,
03:37negotiate the speeds and all the timings of everything.
03:40There's a lot of logistics, obviously, that goes into this, so very impressed at what they're doing here.
03:45Yeah, as a rookie driver, I'm really impressed with him.
03:47He's been really excellent about taking instruction and holding speeds.
03:53I'm married, so I'm used to it.
03:54Very important.
03:54Yeah, that helps a lot.
03:56Mr. Shake is, I'm married to his youngest daughter, so he's my father-in-law.
04:00And being here the first time, one thing that I'm noticing that I think is very cool is there's a lot of families here,
04:07multi-generational participants in this race.
04:09So I'm looking forward, if I get a chance to come back in the future, hopefully my wife and kids get to come be a part of it,
04:15and maybe the kids can grow up enjoying this as well.
04:18That's my dad, Jan.
04:19I'm Navigator, and he's driver, so we joke that I get to tell him what to do for a whole week,
04:25so that's my chance to be his boss.
04:27So we enjoy that.
04:28And I get the privilege to pay for it, too, right?
04:31So this is our second race.
04:33Last year, we did the race up until day seven in this car, and then on I-95 in Connecticut, the car said,
04:41we're done, we're out of here.
04:42The transmission blew, and that was the end of the race.
04:45So we are here to actually finish the race, because that's what we've been told.
04:50If you finish, you win.
04:51This has been the car I've learned to work on cars with,
04:54so very grateful to have the opportunity to work on this thing.
04:58And I'm grateful, too, because I get to enjoy the fruits of his labor without having to pay for it.
05:03Well, that's not true.
05:04You still pay for it, but, you know, different rates.
05:06It's been fun.
05:07This is like a penultimate father-son thing to do, and he gets to yell at me for nine days, and that's fantastic.
05:14So my job is to kind of pull a lot of the details together and a lot of the behind-the-scenes things.
05:19So all these great rally teams we've got from around the world that are here,
05:23I work with those guys to get them all registered, make sure they've got everything they need to get here.
05:27I get them paired up with our great rookie mentors, the Head Keys, to get them dialed in as far as, like,
05:32what to expect, how to use their time-wise, all those things.
05:35Our veteran racers really step in to help educate the new rookie teams how to do that.
05:40It's a family environment that you just can't even imagine.
05:45Sam's Garage is presented by NHOU.
05:50Brought to you by the following companies.
06:10Welcome back to Sam's Garage, presented by NH Oil Undercoding.
06:26The great race rolls on.
06:282,300 miles of family, heritage, and hometown pride.
06:32From Pontiac's classic streets to Route 66's open roads, it's not just a rally.
06:38It's a living tribute to the people, the cars, and the stories that keep America moving.
06:44The great race is brought to you by Rod and Supply.
06:47We don't just sell them, we race them.
06:51Pontiac, Illinois.
06:53I'll let the mayor take that.
06:54We are a population of 11,000 people in central Illinois.
06:59Agricultural community, primarily corn and soybeans grown around here.
07:03We are well known for Route 66, and we get a plethora of visitors here from all over the world
07:08to our museums in our downtown, our beautiful courthouse, and all the good things in this Americana community.
07:14I worked with Jeff in Houston from the very beginning when they picked Pontiac to be the host for the lunch stop for the great race.
07:22We were prepared as much as we could be for this event, and making sure that we could really hone in on the correct audience
07:28and make sure that people knew that Pontiac was the place to be today for the great race.
07:33Hey, Sam, how you doing?
07:35Hello, sir, how are you?
07:36Good, how's it going?
07:37I'm wonderful, man, it's been great.
07:38Listen, there's a blue and a white tint right there, side by side.
07:41There's a lunch in there for you.
07:42Awesome, thank you so much.
07:43You betcha.
07:44Thank you for the welcome, too.
07:45I appreciate it, thank you.
07:46We started off in Moreline, Illinois.
07:49Today it felt a lot better.
07:51We're not soaking wet.
07:52It was a nice ride coming in.
07:53Saw the most beautiful farm country.
07:55We saw the corn get taller and taller as it went further south.
07:59So talk about corn country for sure.
08:01I don't want to hear any complaints about gas prices up here.
08:04We are in Pontiac, Illinois.
08:05We're here for the lunch stop.
08:06As you can see, the whole town has come out to greet us.
08:08That's what's so cool about the great race is the way the people come out and show their gratitude and their love for the sport.
08:14Now we're about to go have some lunch.
08:15And then we're on our way to Springfield.
08:18All of this navigating, I'm burning a lot of calories.
08:21And sitting next to this guy, I've got to listen to him.
08:23Drone on and on and on.
08:25It's been a lot of fun.
08:26And we're a little more dry today.
08:28So we're down, we're going to go get some lunch.
08:29That's provided by the locals here in the town.
08:32And then there's a little Pontiac museum.
08:33Let's go check that out as well.
08:36We've been here since 2011, so almost 15 years at this point.
08:40We focus on Pontiacs and Oaklands.
08:44And we have Pontiac buggies from 1890s and go clear up to, we actually acquired the very last Pontiac, a 2010 G6.
08:53We have everything in between.
08:56So GTOs, Trans Ams, Grand Prixs, Firebirds, anything you can imagine.
09:02And so one of the nicest cars we have on the floor right now is a 1970 Formula Firebird with 436 actual miles on it.
09:11And when I have time, I actually go out and encourage people to open the door and stick their nose in there and smell what a new 70 Firebird smells like.
09:20And then the other great thing about it is when you shut the door and those who have restored an old car, when it's so solid and sound like that car, as you know, that's special.
09:28We've also opened a second Pontiac Museum in Pontiac, Michigan.
09:33And next year, both museums are going to be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Pontiac, which started in 1926 by Edward Murphy.
09:41So we're pretty excited about that.
09:43And here in Illinois, it's a double celebration because it's the 100th anniversary of Route 66 next year as well.
09:50We drove a little bit through Route 66, which is cool because I've never been.
09:55And it's like through a neighborhood and through a little town.
09:57It was slid off the road a couple of times.
09:59There was a lot of gravel everywhere.
10:01Everywhere we were at, there was a ton of gravel.
10:03But because the driver is so good, we did not slip off.
10:06Yeah, because the navigators said, slow down, there's gravel.
10:09Everybody was safe.
10:11No cars that we really saw had terrible troubles.
10:14It was just a great day of racing.
10:16Our times were good today.
10:17Very satisfied with our day.
10:19When we come to a stop, we come to a sudden stop from speed.
10:22Sometimes you're going 40 miles an hour.
10:24And you're relying on everything to work properly.
10:27And when you've got gravel, something you haven't thought about, a factor that's not there normally.
10:30Yeah, right through the intersection.
10:32Right through the intersection.
10:41Rust is like cancer.
10:42And in some ways, we're like a cancer research, right?
10:45And we're just trying to figure out, how do we slow it down?
10:48We ever get rid of it?
10:49No, but we can maybe put it into remission.
10:51So you get an extra 10, 15 years out of your vehicle.
10:55You can go on to my F-150, and I encourage you to take a little rag and wipe away the greasy spots around the frame.
11:02It's shiny black metal in most cases.
11:04So that's indicative of you being diligent with your service.
11:09And the way the wax works, whether we're using the regular or the hybrid, is it comes in.
11:14It's more money.
11:14It's an overnight process because you actually have to prep the vehicle, right?
11:19It's a lot harder to clean off than the oil.
11:21So, you know, we're wrapping the exhaust system, the drive shaft.
11:25That will spin out of balance with the wax, unlike the oil, right?
11:28And then we hang paper to keep it from getting on the outside.
11:31We spray it.
11:32We finish it up the next day.
11:34And then they come back every two years for a touch-up.
11:37So every two years, we re-oil all the cavities.
11:40And then we look the wax over for, you know, scratches, stuff on moving components.
11:46And we continuously touch those up every two years.
11:50Welcome back to more Sam's Garage, presented by NHOU.
11:58We're back at Southfield Classics, diving into the future of performance.
12:07This 800-volt Cascadia motor delivers up to 750 horsepower and 2,200 foot-pounds of torque,
12:14instant power, zero lag, and pure electric speed.
12:18Quiet or not, cool is still cool.
12:22All right, so this week, Dan and I are going to be showing you the powertrain, or the motor,
12:26and in this case, the inverter, that's going to be going in some of these vehicles,
12:30and what their horsepower and torque ratings are.
12:32This is the Cascadia Motion IM375.
12:37So this is the biggest version.
12:39It's an 800-volt motor.
12:40It requires 800 volts to run it to get the maximum effect out of it.
12:43Runs about 675 to 750 horsepower, about 2,250 foot-pounds of torque.
12:48So it's pretty torquey, pretty fast.
12:50We're going to put it in the back of a GT.
12:52Our goal with this motor is trying to get as close to 800 volts as we can,
12:55which we're probably looking at about a 600-volt system,
12:58and then we're going to put it in the back of a GT and try to reach 200 miles an hour.
13:01That is incredible.
13:02This little package right here puts out that much horsepower and torque.
13:05And torque.
13:06The torque is the issue.
13:07It breaks axles.
13:09So in the GT that you see right here next to us,
13:11it's broken a couple sets of axles just off torque alone.
13:13Now, how many battery packs were required to run this at 800 volts?
13:16800 volts, we're looking for our system, we're looking at six of our battery packs.
13:22Six.
13:22Yeah, six of our battery pack systems.
13:25We do have some options out there where we're trying to get down to five.
13:29So let me ask you something.
13:30These battery packs, these motors, you hear all the hype out there,
13:32all the worries, should I say, about the Teslas catching fire and stuff like that.
13:37Are there any issues like that when it comes to these vehicles?
13:39So the batteries that we use are FAA certified batteries.
13:44So we haven't had any issues with fire.
13:46The biggest problem with the battery packs are cooling.
13:48The way that they've designed our battery systems and our battery packs,
13:51that the cooling system on them is pretty superior.
13:54They really run an ambient temperature.
13:56So I thought that the cooling went through the motor,
13:58but it also goes through the batteries themselves.
14:00And it goes through the inverter as well.
14:01So it actually goes through all of them to kind of fluid the whole thing.
14:04Wow, that's incredible.
14:05Now, that power on a motor, when a camshaft comes on,
14:10you may get your horsepower between 25 and 6,500 RPM.
14:13Torque comes in at a certain RPM.
14:15How does this work?
14:16I know everyone says it's instant torque right when you hit the gas.
14:18Does that torque stay?
14:19That torque stays throughout the power band range.
14:21So basically, like I told them earlier, it's got 15,000 RPM.
14:24It'll stay until it reaches kind of a peak curve mode.
14:29Around 12,000 RPM, it has a lull in it, right?
14:32And then in order to get past that lull, you have to kind of power through it.
14:36That's where the higher voltage would actually push it through it faster.
14:39And no different than miles per gallon.
14:41The softer you're on the throttle, the more MPGs you get.
14:44Correct.
14:44The more, the less.
14:46And it's the same thing when it comes to longevity here.
14:48Correct.
14:48With these, we've got three different modes.
14:50We've got eco, normal, and sport mode.
14:51And depending on what mode you're in and how you are on the throttle
14:55will depend on what kind of range you get on your battery packs.
14:58That's very cool.
15:00And so what we're trying to do here, guys, is take all the rumors that there are out there with the EVs
15:05and try to educate you guys out there.
15:07These Southfield Classic vehicles are high-voltures.
15:10They've got all the issues taken away from them.
15:13They don't have the software problems that you would see out there.
15:15They're good-looking vehicles.
15:17They've got all the hot rod components on the chassis themselves.
15:19I just don't understand why nobody would want to jump and get one of these.
15:23You know what I mean?
15:23I mean, they're just as fast.
15:25You know, a lot of people have issues with the noise and the sound.
15:28Well, it doesn't make a sound.
15:29It doesn't make that hot rod noise.
15:31And I tell everybody I'm a gas burner guy.
15:34That's what I grew up around.
15:35That's what I believed in.
15:36I still believe in it today.
15:38But once you get past that noise and you understand that speed is speed,
15:42doesn't matter if it's loud or quiet, it's going to produce what you want.
15:45Cool is cool.
15:46Looks are looks.
15:47Components do the same thing.
15:48So really, if you're a gearhead out there, you guys have a collection.
15:52In my opinion, everybody should have one of these in their collection
15:55because that's what gearheads do.
16:06Sam's Garage is presented by NH Oil Undercoating.
16:11It's brought to you by the following companies.
16:13Welcome back to Sam's Garage presented by NHOU.
16:35It's import versus muscle in the shop today.
16:46We've got a classic Roadrunner and Lacey's brand new Civic Type R getting serious upgrades,
16:52a bigger intercooler, new intake, tune, and more.
16:55425 horsepower, front-wheel drive Fury.
16:59This Type R means business.
17:02Check it out, guys.
17:03It's straight, fast, and furious today in the shop.
17:05Not only do we have a Roadrunner, but we have a brand new Civic Type R as well in Championship White.
17:11Now, it's no charger, but it's pretty close.
17:14Now, this belongs to Lacey, and we're about to do a whole bunch of upgrades to it.
17:17First, we're going to start with Under the Hood, adding some induction to it along with the tune,
17:21and then we're going to do the stance by lowering the car and widening the track so you don't want to miss this.
17:26All right, guys, so that's probably the most difficult part of this job is removing that bumper, and please be careful.
17:37I got, like, maybe two bolts, and the rest is plastic clips.
17:41But this is a Civic Type R, and let's talk about what this thing has.
17:44We have a turbo intercooler.
17:46We got brake ducts, right, to feed those big Brembo brakes on a Civic.
17:50Right here, we have an air induction that goes in with a seal around the hood to give you cold air going into the...
17:56intake manifold, and we got cold air to go ahead and pour onto the top of the engine just to keep things cool.
18:02So what we're going to do today is we're going to add horsepower, and when you add horsepower, you add heat.
18:07So we're going to change out this intercooler and give us some more efficient, higher-capacity intercooler to keep that air charge colder.
18:13That's going to give us a little bit of lag.
18:14Then we're going to replace the radiator.
18:16We got a single-row plastic one.
18:18We're going to go to a two-row aluminum one, and then we're going to do the intake, and after we're done with the intake,
18:23we'll go ahead and tell the computer what we did with the Honda.
18:26All right, guys, you can see the massive difference in size between the Airtek intercooler and the factory Honda one.
18:34So what this is going to do is make it to where the charge air is going to be much cooler.
18:38But if you notice, it's much bigger.
18:40So where lag comes into play is the turbo has to fill this extra space up before we get positive boost.
18:46That's going to take a few more hundred RPM to get the spin of the turbo to fill that up.
18:51So that's where lag comes in.
18:53But in the future, when she does replace the turbo to a bigger turbo, it'll very quickly fill this up and make a whole bunch more power.
19:02To remove the radiator, the intake box was in the way, so I removed that too.
19:06So everything was completely disassembled, and then I went back in in procedure step by step as to what was going to be in my way and what wasn't.
19:13The first thing to go back in was the radiator.
19:15Put the condenser back onto the radiator, placed the intercooler in place, put the intercooler piping back in place, then I went on with the intake.
19:23I put the intake box in place, and I put the other pieces in place.
19:26Now, this is two different manufacturers for the intake.
19:29The Infinity is made out of the UK, and the PLM is here in California.
19:34Unfortunately, they don't jive together, so I had to make my own hose here to put this on temporarily.
19:40The tabs are not welded onto this pipe.
19:42They may have forgotten it.
19:43I don't know, but we got a new one coming.
19:45We're going to go with an Infinity one from the UK.
19:47That's going to work just fine until Lacey gets the new one.
19:50So make sure we put everything in place.
19:52Do a good job because when I put the bumper on, it's going to be final.
19:55So I did that, made sure everything was cool, put the fan back in place, making sure to tighten all my 10 millimeter nuts and bolts for the fan, put the bumper back, put all my fasteners back in place, and we are good to go.
20:06The last thing I want to have to do is take my Honda out of Flash Pro, tell the computer everything that I just did, and gain about 65 horsepower.
20:13So this thing, when I'm done, should make about 350 to 360 at the wheels, which is about 425, 430 horsepower on a four-cylinder turbo that weighs less than any American hot rod out there.
20:24That's why these things is the fastest front-wheel drive on the Nürburgring today in Germany.
20:30You know, it's hard to imagine that Roadrunner is a muscle car, and yet this Type R will run circles around it, especially with all these upgrades.
20:36I really like the blacked-out intercooler.
20:38Next week, what we're going to do is work on the stance by lowering it and widening the track.
