Carnage - Building a Fuel System For Our Drag Challenge Ute (DC Ute Part-13)

We're still plugging away on the Drag Challenge ute, trying to button up the plumbing and wiring before fire this beast up for the first time.
While we're doing that our good mates Benny and Redmond are in the USA riding two bikes across America, all the way from California to a bike rally in Daytona Beach, Florida. They're raising money for the Black Dog Institute and you can help them reach their goal by donating.

When Scotty brings out the landscaping tools, you know it’s getting serious and that you’re in for a great episode 🔥🤘

[@Beer_Dad1975]

This build has so many cool parts - it's like Christmas in March! 😀

[@blownvnv6637]

Electric power steering pump mounted where the battery used to be, 1 less belt on the front of the motor, less hoses around the motor and turbo kit and makes the motor easier to remove when something goes wrong... Please mount the trans cooler at the front of the car where it will get good airflow going down the road where it'll work best in the drag and drive type events. Rear mount coolers will need the fan going constantly, it's ok for a trailer queen.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's a though but have alot of things drawing power already

[@HazeyAuto]

Hassan Chop! ✂️ Good on you for shouting out Benny and Redmond’s great cause.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

They're good blokes

[@handlebarmonkeymotoadventu4664]

Enjoying watching the build and looking forward to seeing it at DC this year. I'd also love to see a build list with costs so the average monkey can see what it would cost to build such a thing.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

The cost might be a little scary to be honest.

[@Low760]

The average person can't afford this without taking out a 60k loan.

[@user-ot7ec4uc3g]

​@@Low760-- try doubling that amount. It's great when you get sponsored by the various companies flogging their equipment that they sell. Good trick if you can get it.

[@handlebarmonkeymotoadventu4664]

Yeah if that's not well over $100k including labour, I'll be shocked.

Perfection a Carnage video to start my morning off, on ya Scotty 💪🏼

[@bigal878]

I loved the crowbar action…. lol Have a look at an Astra elec power steering pump. They do draw some current, but negates the need for a belt driven pump. Good job Scotty on the Ute 👍

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We have one, but I was trying to avoid using it because we have so many things drawing power already.

[@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide]

[@mandyburke5127]

you could also use an electric type power steer pump located in the rear next to the surge tank

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We are considering that

[@jonathon_bradford]

Have to compliment you guys on the music you've been spinnin' lately. Whole lot more interesting than the stock music you hear in a lot of channels

[@colinmiles9390]

You should nickname the Ute as “The Proflow Ute” as she has more proflow products than any other car to date 😂 😂 great tidy work she’s looking the business now.

[@danielspencer1973]

The uterus is coming along nicely Scotty, can't wait for you to deal with all that power on the strip!

I'm doing the Black Dog ride this year myself to York motorcycle festival. Great cause, and it's great to see you promoting it, Scotty.👍

[@golfr600]

Happy to donate.

[@Devastator0]

Love you work as always Scotty! Can’t wait to see how the Ute build will turn out! Am very excited for you haha. Keep up the good work mate!

[@FuManchu5ltr]

How handy would it be if someone created a tool that clips on your thumb (or a finger) and has a texta that slots in it. You can then offer up a hose or pipe with two hands and use your digit to mark the length without having to remember the spot.

[@chefcamsey1375]

Great work mate

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

All the flow gonna need shares in united 🤣👍🍻

[@michaelb5330]

[@holdenmad111]

Scotty, I'm just going to throw an opinion to ponder. You guys built the Lexcen as a grandad appearing sleeper, why not go full boar on the ute? HSV style full bodykit with hard lid and GTS/R type rear spoiler and VT Monaro style bonnet? Make it look the goods as well as going hard. After all that is what street machining has always been about.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It will look great when finished

[@rodrocket8216]

Cool bashing soundtrack.

[@hemichump]

scotty an electric power steer pump out of an AH astra can be mounted anywhere. I have fitted them to a 64 stang and a zd fairlane

Scotty and the Street Machine band are proud to present "Fit Ya Bastard" the musical.....!! An epic journey into the world of big men with big dongers and how they use them best......lol. No soft coc....um....limp wristed inderv......no.....can't say that either.....EGO's! Yes, ego's were harmed in the making of this.....thing? Um...production! Scotty plasma tables are old news, mate you want a CNC laser cutter. Quicker, cleaner, tighter lines with more detail and more accurate plus they also do laser engraving for fold lines, and top side so you bugger up less material at the folder.

[@EricaMTB]

Nut sert the bed floor, or removing the tank's going to be a pain.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah maybe, but the problem with outsert is, if they not absolutely spot on, then they can be a pain. Simple holes have some wiggle room.

[@paule4204]

Scotty this episode had more brackets then project blinky but less cups of teas.

[@neilperry2224]

Scotty. Where's the 'that's what she said' line gone. There were quite a couple of good ones.like after the trans cooler fitment, when you said '.....somewhere in the back' there it would have been perfect! Lol😂 keep up the good work ol' boy!

Interesting, have been told by multiple people to not run 3x 525's as they have trouble and also dont end up supplying enough fuel! Will be curious to see how yours go! May end up getting them if it works for you haha

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We'll see how we go. I think the secret is going to be getting enough power to them.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Gotta love a Friday. Carnage is a great weekend kick off. A question, and feel free to call me and idiot, but it's there a chance that by running the fuel line up through the inner guard, that something may flick up from the road and damage it? Or am I being overly dramatic? Probably overly dramatic.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

There are no perfect options, it's a matter of choosing the option with the least amount of potential issues

[@Trev-fl1oe]

Can't wait to hear her fire.ya look a bit worn out scotty hope everything goes good but remember it is a v8 ha ha.peace

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Any chance we could see that battery in one of those plastic battery boxes for a bit of battery to fuel isolation?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I can, if it makes you feel more comfortable

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

What class will this run in Scotty? Are you looking at low 8’s maybe 7’s?? One last one, will it be road registered? It’s going to be a weapon…

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Probably 8.5 class

[@olibomb6560]

Has there been research into Ute vs sedan vs wagon for drag racing ???? Better aero? Weight transfer ??

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Not yo my knowledge. Most people use sedans

[@b_for_brett]

Is there any risk of electrical noise creating havoc with the coil and injector wiring being that close together? I’ve never played with high power ignition like this, so just wondering for future Brett when he wins lotto 😂

[@dirtymuleracing5321]

EMI, loom interference is a big think with ignition modules. Even worse when engines are not grounded correctly, that will eat coils. Seen a big hp deal eat 8 coils just from block ground being non existent.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I guess we will find out, but everything will be well earthed.

[@bronplayz3377]

When u going to do the hemi torana?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Let's finish the other projects first

[@mandyburke5127]

why didnt you put the three earths from the pumps on one post and the drive wires on each of the others allowing the three pumps to be brang on as required ??

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We could do that, but in all honesty we don't need that. We need one pump to run the car during normal operations but once we're on it we need everything, so we really only need two stages and not three. But it was a good idea.

[@mandyburke5127]
