Was gonna say it's best value of the bunch! Trolvo is a cool car, if memory serves they got it for $500, but I'd be curious to know how much it cost to go from an unfinished project to running and driving and hopefully registered.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

so much mang. Still pretty healthy for an old L67, I did rockers and a pulley on mine many moons ago, lifted it to 159rkws. A 30kw gain was very noticeable, and the whine sounded great too.

[@TomBudin]

[@mayflowerlash11]

In my old EK with a Hydramatic the splines on the input shaft were eventually all worn of. The car simply refused to move of from the lights one day. We replaced the input shaft but not the torque converter side. Worked perfectly.

[@jamesrudd8637]

@19:17 I have been there many a time. It was just awesome watching it on vid for someone else. Thanks for the videos Scotty!

[@SamK4074]

Re the capped connector on the 'new' 4L60E: High trims like S Pack/SS and Berlina have a little PRND321 indicator on the dash - that connector is what tells the PCM (and therefore the dash) what gear is selected. Lower trims like Executive don't have the indicator on the dash or the plug on the loom, so the connector is capped off on the transmission.

[@knight2425]

I think that second plug in the trans is for the gear selector indicator on the dash. The trans you got might be of an older car or lower spec model but wont make a difference to how it runs

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Seems to work fine

the look on your face when you forgot the converter bolts too funny

[@JonarusDraconius]

I did have a thought on the slight difference between the transmissions... Maybe its as simple as a 'series 1' vs 'series 2' matter - There were differences, even though none of them were particularly major... Don't quote me on that though, can tell 'for a fact'... ~JD

[@aaronward7831]

The extra plug. I’m pretty sure is for supercharged models only. The supercharged models limit torque to try protect the gearbox. They have more inputs to the computer to help this system work.

[@joytech23]

It might be a gen older than Barra but remember the VCT Intech was the same generation and it was basically the same power and torque N/A

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Well kind of. The basics of the L67 date back to the late 80s in the US, we didn't see them until the VS Commodore. While the AU intech was the forerunner of the Barra. All that aside I think this will be interesting. It doesn't make much power now but we'll get it there.

[@robertshepherd995]

Is there much difference in the bottom end of the Barra compared to the original 4.0 that came out in the EB?

[@FelixTheHat302]

@@robertshepherd995 Not really, or the EA 3.9, or X-flow, or every bottom end back to the XK. Can't remember exactly when they went to 7 bolt mains, but apart from that, the major changes were to the crankshaft balance counterweights and the timing case etc for the timing chain. Stronger materials and better designed rotating assembly of course.

[@tmmtmm]

only making another 20kW or so from the supercharger is pretty embarrassing but remember that these were designed for a fairly unsophisticated FWD platform in the USA so more power probably couldn't be utilized. They have lower compression and forged internals so they are asking to be intercooled and/or turboed and the boost cranked right up.

[@alt7488]

@@robertshepherd995 the eb had 4 or 2 bolt mains the same as the 60's motors ,the au went to 7 bolt in the sump cross bolted you beawt main bearings and a better head ...unless you're eb has an orginial xr6 yammaha desgined head

[@chadstudd1616]

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't super 6s have a higher torque converter than stock autos?

Not sure but both converters were externally identical

[@Tony-112]

Isn't the plug supposed to "manualize" the auto , similiar to the BA four speed? Correct me if im wrong

[@paulcost6446]

Probably already said but they blank off that plug on executives, executives don't have a wire that runs there so they just blank it off with that plug. Found that out the hard way on my Berlina, I'm pretty sureit's for some dash lights that executives don't have.

without intercooling you loose power past 14-15psi with the baby m90 blower, its working so hard that it just cooks the air and intake temps start pushing 130+ Celsius bloke i know spend thousands on a fresh bottom end and all the good bits, had a 2.8" pulley and wouldnt listen to anyone about installing a cooler, ran it up on the dyno and made 149kw. installed an intercooler and within a week flipped it on its roof on vines rd in geelong trying to do heaps sick drifting in the rain. probably 2014?
