Rebuilding A Flooded $2,000,000 McLaren P1 | Part 11

Bro I'd totally fly out to lift in this gym

SECURITY NOTE! Tavarish, first of all it looks incredible, great job. I've noticed that you have powder coated ALL mounting points/surfaces. On a long-term perspective the powder coating will break-up between the mounting surface and the tightening will get lose. I've noticed this phenomenon on several of my and friends track cars. Please make sure to clean the mounting surfaces before tightening, especially on the brake calipers, engine mounts and subframe to the monocoque. It will work like you did especially for display purposes, but if you drive the car, everything will get lose sooner or later. Have fun and good luck with the project. Greetings from Germany

Man. The logistics and just getting these people to work with you on a crazy project like this has to be such an ordeal.. Insane that we see meaningful updates this often. I am a forever viewer and glad to see Jarred doing so well. Hope to see him in some of your future builds.

I’m not a car guy and this series hooked me so hard, I recently found this and binged it in a day

Going to Tachyon is some next level youtubing. You didn't have to track down the P1 turbo OEM, but you did and interviewed them! That's crazy levels of dedication to the craft, and I commend you for pushing the envelope of car content once again.

CHEM major here. I love these videos and loved the fact that you used chemistry to save the harness. The reason you used the vinegar bath with salt is because vinegar's acetic acid will eat away at the corrosion while the salt was most likely added as an abrasive agent to help agitate the corrosion. If you applied a current to this, the salt would have acted as a great conductivity booster and probably helped the corrosion dissipate faster. The ultrasonicator used at the end with sodium bicarbonate and water just served as an extra step to agitate any remaining corrosion as it uses as the name implies, ultrasonic waves to agitate the water and provide further assistance to either mix substances or dislodge foreign objects (in this case corrosion). Along with that, it serves the purpose of neutralizing the acidic solution of the vinegar and preventing any further corrosion and damage when left out to air dry.

Guys at Tachyon are so cool, they all clearly love what they're doing and they're brilliant at it!

Thank you so much Tavarish for the turbo segment of the video. Finally someone who shows that the turbo engineering is vital to the process. We watch all these builders just go and slap the biggest Garrett turbos they can on their builds. I've had so many friends not understand that it takes more than just that and then they run into heavy lag, or blowing up their engines when they try to drive on the streets. Thank you for building and engineering a whole new one off driveable hypercar. I cannot wait to see the final result of your dream.

11 Parts into this and The Sand is still my favorite recuring villain.

I find it incredible that Freddie hooks up with all the SOTA specialists all over the world and get's them engaged in his project. This is going to be the best P1 on the planet, and it is conceived and built in a FL garage by a DIY YouTuber. Next level. Why did we ever doubt Freddie when he bought this hot mess of a flood car. My hero.

I can’t wait for the episode dedicated to chasing electrical gremlins 😅

Damn, Tachyon looks like an awesome company! From what you've shown, the profesionalisme drapes of the screen. Their workshop seems clean as hell!And their office looks hella sharp. Really cool to see!

Pulls McLaren out of ocean, fixes it with salt water solution.

Personally i love when you get “nerdy” (talking about your engine and the specs) and going to Tachyon was a real treat because i love the engineering behind super cars. I hope you do more stuff like that in the future and dont hold back when nerding out about your car!

I really love this project Tav. And the team! It is such a joy to see you tackling all the problems and having your eyes set on the goal. Thank you.

Amazing work. Congrats so far. When I was a kid I took apart my parents’ alarm clock and quickly realised I couldn’t put it back together. I cannot imagine the complexity you guys are dealing with 👍

The carbon doctors laugh is so contagious haha he’s a treasure.

It does feel like EVERYONE in the industry wants this thing to fly. The excitement builds with every episode. Keep going Freddy!

Could you explain why you paid over half a million dollars to buy a p1. To ditch the hybrid side ( totally understand why with the weight issue ). But if you are going to use a 720 engine, why not use a mclaren 720 from the start.

If Mr Tavarish is reading this, I was hoping if I could make a suggestion that you fit a air compressor where the hybrid system used to be, it could be useful to help spool up the turbos for full boost constantly, kinda similar to the Koenigsegg Jesko
