Carnage - Supermang Gets W2A Intercooler and Diff Gears

[@MichealAEdwards]

I think what I enjoy the most with this show is that it shows the reality of working on cars.

[@ARTR2008]

Exactly....its not all about throwing $$$ in the background to make it a 100% failsafe success....its about the successes and failures! Absolutely spot on!

[@honestpat7789]

Scotty’s new haircut screams “I live my life a 1/4mile at a time “ And the mang sounds awesome 👌

[@grumpyoldman-21]

lol looks more like james Hatfield from metallica

[@mydogzty]

I have been watching him on KZbin for years I wish he also shaved and had a clean canvas, still good to see him making videos nonetheless. I actually owe him some beers as a thank you for replying to my KZbins comments maybe 10 years ago

[@edwardmolloy7548]

You're looking a lot happier at the moment Scotty. Supermang sounds killer so can't wait to see it run!

[@gogetem188]

thanks JAKE welcome to the street machine family

[@wayneholzer4694]

Great to see you got her ready just in time I also hope to see her in the 12's this is sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the next installment every time I see a VN particularly Supermang there is so much nostalgia attached to those iconic cars for me. I can't wait to see the stroker setup with turbo now that will make her rock n roll. Great work again Scotty Cheers

[@grantlister]

Hey Scotty, I’ve seen the Pro Import guys use a spacer on the bonnet hinges, so they don’t have to cut it. You could do the same thing, so it latches from the front & also lets warm air out over the windscreen, seeing as this is only a temporary fix, until the intercooler vacuum leak issue is resolved?! Good luck. Kia Kaha, Grant from NZ.

[@edwydell5320]

Hey Scotty little tip for the silicon joiners to stop them collapsing get yourself some fencing wire and wind it around your intercooler pipe and make a coil then slip it into your silicon joiner. Cheers Ed

[@hec22]

Up the Supermang 🤙

Sounds absolutely sick M8!! Hope to see supermang whining up dandy frankston road.

[@brianholcomb6499]

Scotty, those two guys are worth there weight in gold! I’m hoping that the magazine actually paid them for coming in to help & doing a nice job 👍🏻! I’m sure you remember how hard it was to make ends meet when you were young! Like almost all of us 🙄🙄🙄🙄! Hopefully they will be back to make things happen when needed, & I really hope that being on your show will help there business! Best of luck @ Holden mats!

[@twincrossmedia]

always check the vac hose under the tb fall off pretty easy also the block off in front of intake manifold

[@bigal878]

Great job Scotty and to the boys that helped out. My only hot tip is whenever you use a sealant to seal something up, give it time to set before using it. Can’t wait to see Super Mangs next 1/4 mile results. 👍🏻

[@brettwatson-will3388]

I'm looking forward to see how she goes Scotty... The diff setup will help it out no end.

Morning Scotty another awesome Video of the supermang cant wait to see this thing rip keep up the good work mate cheers

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Scotty I know that you really don't want to give up on the supercharger because it is really cool and I've seen these engines make 400 HP on the M90, but it'd be SO much better with a turbo and a front mount air to air intercooler. It'd be so much more powerful and hold that power throughout the rev range with the proper turbo. All you really need is a NA 3.8 intake manifold, serpentine belt, turbo, modified exhaust collector pipe with a T3 flange, oil feed and drain lines, a tee piece for the oil pressure sender, and a -10 fitting for the oil pan. Fabricating intercooler piping is simple. Believe me, the supercharger is cool and the L67 CAN make good power on them, but a turbo at the same boost will make around 400 whp with the proper supporting mods. It'd be just like having another Trolvo...

[@Low760]

He knows! But you can't fit an na manifold to the supercharged heads.

[@madmick3794]

Scotty did one years ago, probably did it long before most even thought of it. He did this to try something different.

[@hayden6056]

@@Low760 you just need to block off the injector holes in the head you can tap and bung or some just JB weld or quick steel them.

[@vr350]

Its hard to make 400rwhp with an m90 thats a challenge imo. Why take the easy way? Real gains with these engines are proper intercooling not that junk barrel setup and some sc porting and larger elbow/tb. My L67 is at 400rwhp and 11 sec 1/4 and has some serious porting,4" elbow and 102mm tb. You also need the yella terra snout and 58mm or even 55mm pulley to get there. The mace 2.42 isnt going to cut it imo and thats as small as you can go on the factory snout. I know the et supermang has done and tbh is quite low given the mods. Its at the point now it needs supercharger mods and as much boost as possible. Stop playing it safe that incls the tune up. The ported sc will drop psi anyway as there is less restriction but a tonne more airflow and thats where the big gains are! As for the turbo setup. Tonyz garage kit and ecotec top end and good to go. Easy power.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Good to see Ultima shocks in there! I put some in the rear of my FG turbo a couple of years back after being unable to source Bilstein at anything resembling a reasonable price... I was skeptical but figured they were so inexpensive if I didn't like them I could replace them later with something more expensive... well, I was sure surprised - they punch way above what their pricing would make you think!

[@markjones7045]

good luck scotty. you've got this

[@walterfurian8806]

Always cutting it tight Scotty good job all the best for the weekend !

[@anthonykalogerakis9673]

the wooden manifold that holds the cooler set up is where your vacuum is coming from, the wood is a pourus matirial

[@BOSPWR]

nice work scotty, good luck smashing 12's on the weekend. Ps. that 6.4 looks like it wants some racing action :P

[@achiniperera3609]

Awesome work there Scotty, just wondering why the cooler plate for the W2A had a vacuum leak?

[@aaroncody530]

Vidoe paused. Straight to VPW website to see what toys they have for the Datto and Stag!

[@Official_s1asher]

congratulations on the new sponsor!

[@pauljohns1016]

Great video just picked up another project VS Commodore

[@liamosullivan4154]

Most likely leaking between the Bakelite plates of the intercooler, common problem with the mace design

[@shawry65]

Great show. Ya need the tool to put a ridge on ya cooler pipes. You have blown hose's of before . cheers

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We put some weld on it

[@AlecBarwaBosco]

Those mace intercoolers need like 2 tubes of silicone inside and another tube entirely to seal it to the manifold and charger. That's what I needed when I used one for my build on a Mitsubishi motor. I also sanded the inside faces to get it to bond properly. Waiting for a zzp one now

[@MindieJ]

On ya Scotty car is coming along great 👍🏼

Absolute fantastic to see you out there Scotty working on Supermang... Look forward to seeing you on your future episodes of carnage... Cheers from Bill...

[@davidwindsor4632]

You could put a section of aluminium that bends and tack it on the top around say 20mm wide. Then follow the suck in silicon bend at it furtherist point and bend it to suit the bend and put it to the outside of the lower connection. Just before the clamp might help keep it true. Just a thought. Hope it goes well.

[@s_p_onarge8720]

Cool to get VPW on board. 👍🏻

[@ryanbarrimore9703]

Hi Scott, I would suggest that if you use dry ice you’ll find much lower temperatures and will stay much colder for longer without the need for ice top ups.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Too expensive and there is such a thing as too cold

Hey Scotty a nice little bonnet scoop will be good 👍 mate awsome video keep it up 👍 also nice with your honesty your videos are kool Normal bloke Working on his car

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Phenolic resin is great for heat separation but it is ultra crap for sealing on the shiny faces (too smooth), Silastic is the only way to seal it properly. It is probably leaking horizontally through the laminated parts of the spacer, in which case you will never seal it properly unless you can seal the outside face of it. I'd nearly be tempted make a aluminum outer, cut down the spacer / intercooler outer diameter and sit it inside the aluminum. If you were in Queensland I'd offer to throw it on the CNC and do it for you.

[@dustinpfalzgraf138]

compound boost through the M90 would be cool.

[@Low760]

Richard holdener did do that and Scotty commented.

[@tony66au]

Awesome partnership, VPW has been a part of Go Fast bits for decades and was my "go to" for US speed bits and goodies for years with very fair pricing (Unlike some US parts vendors here) and id buy stuff from them because they had it in stock and it was cheaper than buying direct from the US with freight costs and way less dicking about.

[@colinmiles9390]

If your using a wood plate you have to remember most wood plates breathe as wood expands when hot so leaks will always happen regardless

[@jenabby07]

I might be totally wrong as I don’t know how the idle control works on those but would the silicon collapsing pull the idle down and when the sandwich plate style cooler was in place the idle rises because it isn’t restricted by the collapsed silicon? Sounded a lot snappier with the sandwich plate cooler.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's going to be snappier with sandwich plate because of the shorter intake path

That sucks about the water to air intercooler. I had my doubts about such a material being used and maybe you were unlucky, again!!!!! Maybe have a word with the Binky lads and they can whip you something up in aluminium with an O ring grove machined into the faces 😉 Nice of Jake to help get you to the finish line.

[@andyjames2082]

Using the spare wheel well for the pump system I'd have re used the lid but lasered out a larger surface are and welded to it or made an l shape box. That's a lot of weight up high , I think lowering the centre of gravity with 70kgs of ballast would have helped greatly.
