I don't no who's more excited You or Me?. Well, that was a nerve racking few months, but it's been an incredible journey thank you for letting me tag along. Cheers Bloke 🍻👍.

[@honestpat7789]

A double drop(or, double ribbed), Carnage and Scotty’s Garage. Yeah, I’m not getting any work done this morning. The downside of working from home 😂

[@SF-racing1]

Double ribbed 😂😂

[@Picasso-man]

like a kid on Christmas morning my 1st thought when i woke up was " It's today! it's today!"

[@matthewsmith177]

Nothing like that first start elation when you've built it yourself well done mate

[@Blackbirdrod81]

Congratulations Scotty, big moment right there. Looking forward to more episodes with this beast.

[@jaredrule1431]

Good on ya Scotty! I literally had a big smile on my face and felt the anticipation as the engine cranks over and finally fired. I know first hand how exciting the moments of first start up are. So I can totally relate. It’s a significant milestone in a build and really gives the boost of often needed motivation to trooper on with the rest!

[@gemini3558]

Let’s go Scotty !!! 😜👍🇦🇺

[@biastv1234]

You rippa, I have pre oiled engines this way for over 30 years. The secret is out. Well done

[@b3nny90]

Interesting way of priming the oil. I have a little 12v pump that screws into the turbo feed or oil filter sandwich plate and watch throw the oil filler to make sure it got up to the head. Etc. Because the sensor is obviously lower than the head.

[@damoryan3873]

Well done mate All that work has paid off.

[@Eriu-88-88-]

13:01 ' Thats what she said' 😆🍺

[@1969Risky]

You owe us a good amount Hassan Chops Scotty! Great Video Scotty, well worth the wait!

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Monday morning and Scotty's here. I'm glad I'm retired and can watch it all in one hit. Drag Challenge ute is running, yippee. ❤

[@dirtymuleracing5321]

So happy for you Scotty, well done….

[@danielsultana5615]

Sounds like a beast can't wait to see it rip down the track!

[@andywiththen]

Good stuff Scotty. Can't wait to see it hit the road.

[@danielspencer1973]

Congratulations on a successful first startup Scotty! I like the oil prime hack! Good shit mate! 😎🍻

[@xozindustries7451]

Congrats Scotty, another big win for you!

[@kanebailey3342]

And the baby breaths 🤙🇦🇺🤙

[@conandebnam549]

[@CHINGY1993]

[@pauldeery2275]

This is going to sound mental when she's all tuned up!!

[@Devastator0]

Mate, I was clenching everything while you were trying that start omg haha. Super glad for you Scotty! Great work as always mate!

[@earlycommodorecommunity]

Yeeooowww...!!!! Bring on Drag Challenge 2024 !!!!

[@kev4jem]

Good on ya Scotty what an achievement definitely spoilt us with all this content mate! Lovin it!!!

[@gabechiplin8140]

You must fill the transmission beforehand. The pump will run with the converter methinks🤔

[@STREETMACHINETV]

There's some fluid in it but I didn't run it long enough to hurt it

[@ScottyBSim]

It starts, that's a start 🤣🤣🤣

[@builds_on_a_budget4111]

You can pump scavenge back where ever you please aslong as its above the oil level! Have previously modified an oil cap to pump the scavenge into in a pinch and it stayed like that for years!

[@rikturna]

IT’S ALIVE!!!!!!! I swear you just saw the 9 second time at the 1/4 mile in your future!! Congratulations

[@brucerichards9102]

Nice work Scotty.

[@thornskie3499]

Damn it sounds tough💪

[@jesus_built_my_hotrod]

Do you guys ever get sick of all the bot comments? 😂 great video BTW, this thing is gonna rip at the strip.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Haha, they're getting better. It's quite entertaining

[@mattangrave8478]

Been hanging to knock off work to watch this and was not disappointed 🤙

[@brushitoff503]

Fricken Epic! Sounds awesome!

[@nickrynenberg4364]

[@davidvincent2051]

Congratulations mate. Feels fkn great when you get to this point doesn't it 🎉

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yes it does!

[@tony66au]

Good to see a proper first start, long crank, cold n grumpy engine being woken for the first time :-) Seen way too many "First Starts" where they tickle the key and it fires n purrs lol

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Haha, yep they never start perfect first time.

[@Rex003]

Had a feeling the battery was going to be flat. (again) hahahahaha. Well done mate. can't wait to see it on the dyno.

[@craiglatham3749]

Congrats Scotty

[@lukeborg9746]

I was nervous for you mate 😂 Stoked for you that its running 👍

[@scotthunter1639]

Great work Scotty, getting closer each time mate 👍 👌

[@ishakespeare3898]

Yeeeeeagh!!! LFG! This thing is gonna be sick!

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

F*ck Yes!!!!!!!! Nice one Scotty👍🍻

[@claytonsmoothy314]

Yeah

[@robbmorison713]

It lives!

[@troydowning2608]

Can't wait to see what the ute will do, I think it will be a monster

[@marklr5716]

I'm gonna say it again.. how damn good are those Haltech units?! It just makes it so "plug and play"...

[@davidwindsor3601]

It makes noises🎉👍

[@runnersp1985]

Let’s goooooo!!!!!

[@7071t6]

Scotty mate have you checked the brake switch behind the pedal to make sure its working etc. Its ok if the brake light work ,but once the car is running there's a chance it might not work, especially when you have the park lights or headlights on at the same time. just saying. Keep up the great work mate. 👌👍🦘✌

[@rustymonaro184]

Well done Scotty as the saying goes good things come to those who wait 😊 can't wait for first rips . Do you think that pressurised oil fill work on holden v8s ? You would no how notoriously bad they are at building oil pressure on initial run in .I've had trouble before even using the fill the oil pump with Vaseline trick . I dont have a haltech to see if it builds pressure but i am running a extension so i can run the standard oil pressure switch to the idiot light on the dash and a sass oil pressure gauge for accurate oil pressure on my budget 355 build .

[@dennisbjones]

"The LS being a modern engine". Pushrod valve actuation circa late 1800s ;-)

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Haha, it's all relative

[@mawe42]

Its modern, the pushrod configuration is a feature chosen purposely. Makes the engine really compact.

[@mawe42]

I don't think you want the scavenge pump sucking directly from the turbos. The turbos should drain into a "sump" that is ventilated to the air and the pump scavenge from the sump. Have a friend that destroyed many seals in his turbos without that. Its also how OEMs did it when it was needed.

[@michaelteasdale2919]

All these performance parts place must be making a fortune of LS and Barra parts!?! $$$

[@mandyburke5127]

is the ute getting a dashmat?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Haha

[@craigmandall9420]

It wouldn't be right without a dash mat assaulting Scotty every pass

[@warrenscarlett9302]

👍👍👍

[@manuelstarr3602]

Scotty, you don't have flat battery problems when you use Super Capacitors (With Battery).

[@TankyMcStagger]

YOU BEAUTY 😄👌

[@chefcamsey1375]

😊😊😊😊

[@SkodaYetiFan96]

Maybe if you were so daring the next build could use turbos and a supercharger together. I think it would be sweet.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Stay tuned for that

[@A.R.C.77]

😃🤘

[@Xav.]

Carnage on a Monday 😩

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Well, we could have made you wait the whole week

[@jgrieve3282]

Sounded great! Hope you filled the power steering if it has it?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It didn't run very long

[@antoniowilliams2438]

The ute is missing the dash matt

[@LSpower7.0]

do you thing your surge tank is big enough? there only 2lt but with 3 pumps taking up space drops that down which at 1000hp thats fine but when your making 1500-1700hp maybe an issue as tank pump won't keep up keeping it supplied, when you go over 1000hp which I would expect have other unknown issues as not many cars can go that hp i would think your Ute should do easily if you got the injectors and pump 2000hp isn't out of the question and the move to methanol will be the juice of choice, busting to see it on the dyno mine is pretty much same as yours except I'm running a huge single turbo but when I did the headers I made 2 right hand side 1 for single and another for going twin turbo, I'm running a 10lt surge so I have the option to run methanol for the strip and back to e85 for drag and drive, I've got bigger injectors and a Aeromotive single pump and Areomotive reg its all good for 2500hp not that I'm going to go that high till the cars sorted

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I guess we'll find out if the surge pot is big enough

[@hammeredhemi1223]

Great work and not a shifter in sight...lol. It's a great inspiration to see this car come together, bit for those who want to build a similar drag and drive car is there any chance you can add up the costs?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I think the costs are too scary 😀

[@hammeredhemi1223]

My guestimation is just south of $100k if that's where your at, it's not that bad for a low 7 high 6 sec car.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@@hammeredhemi1223 in terms of retail costs, it'll be under $100k but hard to work out exactly

[@chuxshed587]

@@hammeredhemi1223 No one is building a low 7, high 6 second car for $100k

[@mandyburke5127]

are you having the rest of the week off ??or are you going to live in the carnage workshop until its finished ?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Friday's video is already uploaded and scheduled

[@jonnothetrucker]

"Wrong pedal to start with" Just dont do that on the strip Scotty 😂 So stoked to hear her fire up 😃

[@jimclarke1108]

Comin along well Scotty , learning by wire😁

[@tiara-leewilliams391]

Still isn’t Scotty garage😢

[@STREETMACHINETV]

LOL, but have you watched today's episode of SG?
