Carnage - Supermang Upgrades For More Boost and Fun!

Supermang is back and we're doing some upgrades on our Supercharged V6. So stay with us while rebuild the snout on out L67 M90 Supercharger, and fit a Haltech IQ3 digital dash.
Street Machine Carnage is all about having fun with cars. Sometimes it's serious performance, sometimes it's crazy fun, but it always interesting and done on a budget.

Nothing like starting the day with a dose of Supermang!

[@johnrebelos2221]

I continue to be impressed on your real world content. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. That's how it is I think I'm equally impressed with your patience. I could learn a thing or two!! Ps - sell me turbo taxi!

[@kizjay2730]

Supermang has inspired my next Summernats build. Going to bring one of my VNs home from the farm and drop a L67 in it. Be a good, cheap and quick little project, and my sons are hassling me to enter a car so they can camp there for the entire event.

[@trevorhunter374]

Thanks for another great video Scott, and Matt behind the camera. It was pretty hot down there in Melbourne Thanks for your time and effort on the supermang,! Can’t wait for Dragchallenge

[@STREETMACHINETV]

No worries mate, sorry I couldn't give you more time

Scotty I just love your content! Really makes my day ! Thanks all in the Sm camp ! Can’t wait for the next vid !

[@kennethsmith3260]

Yaay, can't wait to see how much boost you get out of the smaller pully. I'd like to see you do a few runs down the quarter with the "party pully" , for research purposes of course...😉

[@jimclarke1108]

I remember when you bought the commodore, commented on how tidy it was and to look after it, plenty of 💲💲💲 sitting in the bank, won't put many kms on it going down the track ( and a sunday driver))🤠

[@bobroberts2371]

9:11 " Why can't the same connector be used? " Given the pin outs are different, this is done to prevent someone from swapping dashes without moving the pin locations. The next question would be " Why are the pin outs different " Answer, probably because the priority in circuit board design was to fit components into the allotted space not a specific pin out location. Circuit boards are no longer simple 2 sided affairs, some have up to 12 layers of copper traces sandwiched together making design very complex.

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, keeping things safe with a revised design.

[@generalwaste2062]

Was about to make a similar point but thankfully you did it for me. Not everyone is going to be as smart as Scotty and actually check the pinouts before attempting to swap dashes. Having a connector that prevents that is good design practice.

[@craigsampson3386]

Keen to see how that dash looks once its all back together and working properly 👍

[@kippen64]

What a great video to start the day with.

[@motomenace86]

That aviation sealant is the bomb!!. It seals everything. Holymer is a step up, but that stuffs awesome. It was recomended by euro brands that need a sealant with low tolerance as rocker covers inc cam bearings on alot of euros.

[@siwood22]

In an effort to cool the supercharger on a previous car of mine I ran a snow performance water meth kit. Super easy, solid and reasonable $. My roots blower was a condensed mess on the dyno. Super low iat's and the extra Ron bump from the methanol landed me an extra 48whp. K24 cl9 accord euro for comparison. Buy a kit !!

[@Mister-Caprice]

i spat my beer up several times during this episode 🤣😂

[@paule4204]

The big socket you bought meant you put load on the bearing. That's how you pit and damage bearing. You actually want a piece of tube the exact size of inner race of bearing that the shaft moves through easily.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

If I was doing it all the time, I'd make up the right tools, but we did what we could with what we had and it works fine

Scotty, when pressing a shaft into a bearing correct practice is to support the inner race not the outer, anyway you got it done so good job.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Not that you need my approval, but nice job on rebuilding the snout. It was a good reference video done right for anyone playing along at home. I don't know what the old oil looked like but I would have been real tempted to reuse it (considering the cost of the oil) if it didn't look too bad. I mean you have swapped it so many times it could hardly be old.

Pretty sure Mace engineering sell a different intake tube for the back of the supercharger, which isnt squashed for clearance like the factory one. With how serious the supermang is getting it might be worth getting one and worth some HP!

[@7071t6]

You would think that the shaft would have a key slot in it, that way there's no need to press the pulley it on, so much easier to put a key on the shaft and machine / cut the same key size on all the different size ratio pulleys etc. :)

[@frankmcgorman962]

You described the 3.8 liter as a dinosaur. If I remember right, it was derived from the GM 5.0 liter, which was as old as the hills itself by then. Still solid engines for sure. Looking forward to see what Supermang can do with a bit more boost.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's not related to the 5-litre but yeah they're both old tech

[@aftermathau]

Its a Buick I believe, derived from a 60' V8 platform.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@@aftermathau half right, it's a 90 degree V6 based related to the old Buick Grand National engine

[@aftermathau]

@@STREETMACHINETV Keep going back ;) its first ancestor was the 61 Fireball V6 modeled off the 215 aluminium V8 (just cut off two cylinders). It has a long lineage.

[@bobroberts2371]

The Buick 3.8 ( 3800 ) is based on the iron 90 * Buick V8 from circa 1968 - 1981 The V6 has gone through many, many changes over the years.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It actually has a 10% larger pulley on the crank

[@pjromez]

Could anyone else smell the permatex?

[@ChristopherHallett]

For torque specs you can always just look up the recommended torques for bolts of that size and grade. If they're 8x1.25mm grade 8s, that's 32.8 Nm.

@@STREETMACHINETV More boost,more power =quicker et. 8 psi its not worth doing. Get some some boost into it. Thats what you run without a cooler 8-10.psi. Being intercooled on e85 you should be running at least the 2.55" pulley. You also need a larger elbow,tb and porting you should know this!. These m90's are not efficient but can be made to work. I think changing the sc is a mistake too. You should show what can be done with the m90. Anyone can call it quits and change to a bigger sc. Easy way out.

[@Punk510]

@@brentonmiller8861 your talking crap. There's no such thing as q percentage due to the fact the driveline takes X amount of touque to spin it. So the more powe you make it also takes less inertia to spin as it's already well and truly spinning. Its quite easy to try and claim an extra percentage of horsepower die to driveline loss but in actually fact it's like trying to give your missus and excuse for having a small dick. Driveline soak is prevalent in cars around 100 to 200hp but unless it's a 4wd set up or a 18 speed road ranger... Its not going to be a percentage that can even be used as a tough guide. From what I've seen from chassis dynos in more recent years is the operator fiddling with the load to produce more numbers on paper. This shootout mode or whatever yous call it is crock of shit. My fj20 would run 22-24 psi on the street and on the Dyno in shootout wouldn't get more than 16psi with the gate completely shut. I call it freespin mode . Anyway that's my two cents. 280 on freespin mode isn't 400. Not even close
