Carnage - Drag Challenge Ute Part-18 - The Final Assembly begins!

[@colinmiles9390]

Thank you Scotty for not painting the engine black just like everyone is doing of late. I personally prefer the metal look as it’s easier to see oil leaks and problems when everything isn’t all black. Love this Ute and can’t wait to see its performance on the track.👊👍💪👌🙏

[@biastv1234]

Great stuff. Got to love the keyboard warriors 😂. Also good to see that you show all the normal hiccups along the way , like any normal project. Well done Scotty

[@danielsultana5615]

Looks awesome mate 👌

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

All the good stuff there Scotty can't wait to see it and you in the flesh at Motorex👍

[@castekracing]

Loving this build. This ute is gonna be insane. Great work Scotty

[@Devastator0]

Love your work as always Scotty!! Glad to see the Ute getting some progress made! Looks great! Keep up the good stuff mate!

[@holdenmad111]

Always a great way to start a Friday! But greasing bearings has to be the one job i hated doing!

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Great to hear Ramsdale could help you with the tank. Really can't wait to see you blast this thing down the quarter. What a build

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Great Video Scotty. There is so much progress on the Ute in this one episode. Lots of variety and entertaining as usual.

[@1969Risky]

15:03 Nothing is so satisfying than popping packaging air bags! Everyone does it lol. Nothing's been spared for this ute. I hate to see what the bill comes to in the end. I love the brake setup for the rears. Again Scotty, great series of videos on this ute. I can't wait until it's finished!

[@adrianzmajla4844]

Putting them under your co-workers' tyres!

[@scotthunter1639]

Getting closer to the end Scotty looks killer mate 👌

[@dant565]

That engine looks sick. Can't wait to hear it fire up.

[@jgrieve3282]

Same fuel tank I retrofitted into my Dad's old 72 Jeep ute, I used it because it had an internal pump as I converted to Holley Sniper system and didn't want an external inline (noisy) pump.

[@paulstanford3063]

Happy days Scotty .For those of us who will never get to build something so serious , its great to be along for the ride . I hope Proflow have used decent quality materials in the manufacturing process .

[@garrymcgaw4745]

Don't ya love it when a good plan comes together .

[@SmacattackL]

definitely been a long build but alot of good work and good parts have gone into it

[@Beer_Dad1975]

So envious of all those new, shiny parts Scotty! 😀

[@STREETMACHINETV]

So am I, remember it's not my car, I just get to play with it.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

@@STREETMACHINETV I guess I do too, vicariously!

[@79series]

I'm glad you got use out of my tank suggestion. I've been running the vy tank in my vs for a while now with no issues. For the guys using stock vs cluster, the fuel level sender the vu and vy1 the fuel gauge will read backwards in a vs, vy2 pump or fuel level sender reads correct. Everyone selling top dollar rusty vg-vs tanks will now just take them to the scrap.

[@cpzmelbs]

Good shout legend 👍 Do you know what options I have for a VR sedan? I’ve almost overpaid for crummy droptanks too many times lol I’ve learned some sellers mention “used” which apparently negates whether something is also “useable”. Explains why it’s being sold in the first place I suppose 🤣

[@atsidis]

Bet you can’t wait to light the candle In this ute do a skid

[@xozindustries7451]

I’m so glad you are building a safe car to race after all those sketchy rides you’ve been running

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Just before you said it is nice when parts fit together. I had that exact same thought. Strange do good work.

[@zappy7393]

Cannot wait to see this thing hit the track!

[@jasonfenech3874]

Love the show, looks like you may have put the locking nut for the rear hub on back to front. The chamfer on the nut should face inwards towards the locking washer.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's double chamfered, the smaller chamfers goes towards the inside

[@theveeman]

Nice work Scott, hope to see and meet you and the ute at MotorEx.

[@matt_hayward]

5pm. Friday. Scotty. Beer. Yay!

[@plumbs7199]

Good job !

[@theoriginalwallace]

What a lovely surprise after painting an engine bay!!

[@colinmiles9390]

It’s good to see Trolvo still has uses, great box storage 😂 😂 😂

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Just love seeing bearings being packed right. Hate the job, but enjoy seeing it being done the right way. Hmmm not really the job I hate, it's the clean up afterwards.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Very true

[@MrTonaluv]

Saw a video where a mechanic says don't pack rear bearings with grease because they are lubed from the diff oil and the grease prevents the oil from lubricating the bearing properly. Heard that before?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@@MrTonaluv it would depend on diff design

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@MrTonaluv possible, but would be a very rare situation (in a car), certainly not the norm. Most rear axles have seals on them between the bearing and the diff oil to stop any kind of washing / mixing. The full floaters Scotty just fit, the diff oil comes no where near the bearings.

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

This is the epitome of a scorty street Machine

[@michaelteasdale2919]

Just keep crossing em off the list Scotty Your getting there👍

[@dougobrien2840]

Some nice parts going into this build. looking good.

[@stevenloynds3691]

Every time I decide on a favourite car of carnage fleet they level up or do something completely different it's getting harder the ute and wagon builds are definitely up there.....tbh my favourite is still on the back burn I'm hanging to see the Tory build....

[@brucerichards9102]

As always, nice work Scotty.

[@anomamos9095]

Crank angle sensors seem to be the Achilles heel of the LS. Many people have given up on the factory location and put a reluctor wheel on the front of the damper to do two things. One not have to crawl under the vehicle and battle with hot headers and a starter to swap it out when it fails. Two reduced signal noise than occurs at high rpm and causes misfiring issues.

[@1toonhead]

Been a intense build, wish you all the best with it mate.

[@jimclarke1108]

First class parts going in to that build Scotty,, i'm sure its a bit beyond my budget🤑great job as usual

[@MrJapatron]

Trolvo sporting it’s new ‘boxer’ engine

[@peterjewell9436]

Hey Scotty coming along nicely instead of welding up the pipe out lets can you tap and bung them up in case you decide to use them later love my friday morning car fix with a Scotty thrash to finish👍👍

[@jesscneal]

Gen 3's had DBW from 03-06. The easiest way to tell if you have a Gen 4 is the cam sensor like you said or peek under the intake and look for the AFM valley cover.

[@DamienOliver-fj9uo]

Hey Scotty, just watched the video and I noticed when you fitted the left wheel hub assembly the lock nut went on the wrong way around and it got torqued up. Probably just check and swap it around. The tapered side faces the lock washer. Good job though.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Both sides are tapered, we fitted it with the small taper to the inside as per the instructions

[@stoneshrink]

Never thought Hawaiian music would be a good background for a 2000 hp LS motor - but it works. Hope everything else works as well.

[@GODEES77]

Trolvo doubling as a recycling bin 😂😂😂😂

[@SkodaYetiFan96]

Could your next build be a Hk Kingswood Wagon with turbo Strata style draw through carb 202? It would sound amazing and Strata style setups are always amazing😎

[@mickanon5607]

Baller looking rear end. I would have just run a 60L FIA fuel cell instead of mucking around with an OEM tank.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Won't fit under floor

[@gardenwaster]

This build is insane so many quality parts here, this deadline seems a bit rushed.

[@gogetem188]

who's got some big boy brakes lol then nice

[@MrLincoln87]

I got busy and all caught up now Cool build will be good to see it running down the strip Interested to know why not a 4l80e for a drag week/challenge car ? *At a guess, packaging ? And Cost vs power handling/performance ?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Cost and availability

[@MrLincoln87]

@@STREETMACHINETV I should have bought a Hughes a couple/few years ago when they were pretty "cheap" $5-6k from memory, now in that $9k+ range ... and hard to come by

[@chriscarey3625]

Looking good boys, why wouldn't you just tap a say 1/2 inch BSP thread in the water pump to take 90 degree brass tapered thread hose barbs, that way you could angle them where ever you need the hoses to go

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We can add fittings wherever we need at a later date

[@danielspencer1973]

Getting shit done mate! Those hubs are strange though.

[@brushitoff503]

Fricken loving the video's Scotty & crew! Curiosity question with the rotors, are they anodised? If so, will that have an effect on the bedding in of the pads? I'm guessing it will wear off, but a Mechanic, I am not ha ha. Anyway, awesome video. Cheers.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah, I'm not sure what the coating is. I guess we'll see how it wears

[@brushitoff503]

@@STREETMACHINETV Would be interesting to find out. My head was just wondering about dissimilar materials. Thanks for the reply.

[@neilperry2224]

Are you the new leader of the Australian based Marvel Avenger super heroes. Cause, all l heard after you said the centre was being ready assembly. I heard in my empty breakfast bowl of a head. It was SCOTTIE ASSEMBLE !!! That would make a good t shirt for the Ute build, willing to design it for nothing. And you can use the design and sell them, and if they're liked . We could release a print, and function the OG drawing for your lad.

[@honestpat7789]

It wasn’t the most interesting, exciting or informative section of the video, but bursting the packaging blisters was the most relatable 😂 Show would be the same without you, Scotty ✌️

[@anomamos9095]

Tip Grab a cutting board from your local dollar store to keep in your plastic work trolley or even a metal or wooden one to use as a sacrificial surface for hammering and cutting and such so you don’t destroy the trolley.

Did the ute end up getting a name?

Not really but the guys at work nickname it Grimace

Jeezus, if it was that much it would give me way over double the budget to play with

[@user-ot7ec4uc3g]

​@@STREETMACHINETV-- we will see just how much it will be, RETAIL PRICES, not mates rates.

[@The_forgotton_one]

4 fuel pumps why not just get 1 large pump to the motor and 1 in tank, Aeromotive have pumps and regulators that can feed a 3500+hp monster big block a lot less messing around

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Can't stage one pump, so that's one very large pump running all the time.

[@Wheeliebadatstuff]

@@STREETMACHINETV Their TVS pumps can be run at 30% and be triggered by ECU to 100%

[@cwhaaatt]

youre in the danger zone fitting that inlet publicly right now... proflows days of ripping off products are surely numbered

[@STREETMACHINETV]

If you're saying it's a rip-off of another manifold, you would be wrong, we've had both manifolds side by side and they are totally different in size, shape, weight and design.

[@rikturna]

Most people would use curtains or sheets to wipe off the lube. A rag is very considerate. I love how people comment on other peoples builds as if it was what they’d be doing. I’d say just sit back and enjoy the build. I must say though, Scotty, your hair grows fast since your short back and sides.

[@castekracing]

Nothing wrong with proflow. Most of their products have been modified from other designs and they work well.

[@Low760]

If that's the case, everything was a rip off from the original internal combustion engine... an intake directing flow to ports is science, you will get similar looking things even if you start from scratch with the knowledge of air flow available.

[@1080sucks]

"Experienced & competent" close enough. I know red ones are faster, well everyone does, purple however is shit ton cooler
