Carnage - The Supermang Is Back!

Our budget V6 Project is back. We took a stock VN V6 Commodore and turned it into a 12sec streetcar. But we're not quite finished yet. We've got a bigger throttle body and converter to try. Can we go low-12s with our V6 weapon?
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.

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

As much as i shit on Holdens in general; the 3.8lt Buick is a great little motor. I built a 4.0lt stroker with small twin turbos for my old 1993 VR Executive with a built auto, was a great cruiser, dipped into the 11's, and as the turbos were low mounted- a great sleeper. Just a fun car to have and was very reliable

[@anomamos9095]

Tip For storing stuff that rusts Grab a bag of wood chip or paper kitty litter and some old socks or small cloth bags or pantyhose and stuff some kitty litter in them to put in with the stuff you’re storing to soak up moisture. Why wood chip or paper? Because you can also use it to soak up oil spills and then burn it to heat the shop...

[@wesgates5632]

GM should have put the L67 in the Firebird/Camaro 4th gens. They do have a nice NA L36 cast alloy upper and lower intake with the throttle body in the right place, not up the rear with an elbow or hanging off the side.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah, it would have been a good intermediate car

[@spiritlevelstudios]

Dude you can just jump 2 pins on the plug in the kick panel and the ECU will spit out the fault codes via the dash light. VN life.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Doesn't have factory dash any more

[@auskilluminati333]

I own an L67 so I'm keen to see the outcome

[@boosted_l6787]

I promise if you put a second tensioner on you will make more boost with the smaller pulley and also being adjustable you can use the same belt on a couple of pulleys. Pretty sure baz sells a tensioner that will bolt onto the machined snout you have. They don't sound like they slip but they always do and I promise there is boost left on the table without an extra tensioner

[@guyharrison909]

I assume that 69er mm throttle body can be fitted either way up.

[@TinShed]

2.55" makes more power than a 2.8" scotty, just need a snout tensioner to increase the surface area over the pulley. Pulley slip is a B1#CH... Should be able to run a 2.42' pulley with an 8rib

[@honestpat7789]

I want to see how the stroker engine goes. Scotty, why do you tease us 😅

[@ChristopherHallett]

That throttlebody is really nice!

[@rumplespliffskin]

If the car is warm and you think it's the crank angle sensor, you can tip some water behind the harmonic balancer and it'll cool it and let you start it. I went through 2 in the 5 years i had mine. It never cut out, just wouldn't start again once it was warm.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Unfortunately this one just up and died in traffic.

[@rumplespliffskin]

@STREETMACHINETV if it makes you feel better Scotty, it got a bit of a wash while you were waiting.

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

One of the few Commodores i have owned was a VP. Crank angle went in the middle of the city down the main nightlife street in Adelaide. That sucked as while waiting for a tow truck i had a 1000 drunk "mechanics" telling me they could fix it while walking past...

[@ChristopherHallett]

I like how your sign is Carnage Crescent. Not Carnage Road, Carnage Street, Carnage Loop, Carnage Way, or Carnage Rise. No, Carnage Crescent. Because of all the crescent wrenches (shifters) you like to use...

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Nice connection, I didn't think of that.

[@whstato0212]

Out of curiosity, when the crank angle sensor died, did you try the pouring water over it to see if it starts trick? It's common when these crank angle sensors shit themselves in these 3.8s that if you pour water over it and it starts it's the sensor that's the issue.

[@GLOBAL-INTIFADA]

Yeah lol was about to comment wait didn't you have a stroker motor lol and yep I was right 😂

[@currymurri13]

Wait a minute!!! Has Mace finally re-released stroker kit?

[@seanb250]

Good to see the supermang back 👍 In regards to the TB does the flange it bolts to match the new diameter or is there now a lip?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's basically spot on

[@seanb250]

@@STREETMACHINETV winning 👍

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Looks like another beautiful sunny day in Melbourne... You may want to keep that smaller pulley handy for when you stick the stroker in it. Not everyone has your smarts when it comes to there being a negative result. Bigger isn't always better (or smaller in this case) but it may be useful once you add a few more cubes. Did you ever sort out that pipe sucking issue? Looks like you still have a rubber hose at the far back.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It still sucks in at the back, but this is a short term set-up. we have something bigger in the works.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@STREETMACHINETV can't wait. I can honestly say you have some of the best content of KZbin. Not only because you are doing something different, but it is refreshing to see you are keeping it real. I am over fake made up shit.

[@alt7488]

if you waited 20 mns you might have saved the towing fee, they generally start back up after cooling down

[@markaston325]

At least that steel pipe behind the pulley is easy to deal with, ford intech heater pipe from the water pump is a nightmare job and the end to the water pump is always rusted n they don't make them anymore

[@gardenwaster]

Happy to see the budget build back, plenty of Mang out there for everyone

[@bobroberts2371]

9:50 Does the blower have a sealed bearing in the front? If so, it is common for sealed ball bearings to initially expel grease. The faster the bearing is spun the more grease comes out. SKF has excellent docs on this. Sealed ball bearings are not 100 % full, overfilling a bearing leads to higher temps due to friction and breakdown of the grease.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It has a roller bearing with a seal in front of it. The seal might be shot.

[@bradsalmon8558]

I want of kept the smaller pulley with the new throttle body and then added a methanol injection.. big throttle will always need a tune

[@1993kawasaki]

[@michaelgarrett3406]

I've got a 2003 vy series 2 factory L67 I can confirm everything Scotty's said about the crank sensor problems you get 0 warning engine randomly turns off sets fault code and is super annoying/dangerous

[@waynekeough6685]

What stall speed did you go for with the new convertor ?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We gave Simon the engine specs and he sent us this. No idea what it stalls to until we tune it

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

What is the standard throttle blade size on one of those things? Had to look twice to see the difference. Then I noticed that they had machined a bit out of the ID. Looks like maybe a 2mm throttle blade OD difference?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's a lot more than that. I agree the camera didn't show it very well. The standard throttle body is just under 64mm. So the new TB is 16% bigger in surface area

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@STREETMACHINETV wow, you right it doesn't look that big of a difference on camera. Yes people often under estimate the increase in area. A few mm OD can increase the area quite substantially.

@@jesuschrist-zw5pv 3.08 is the stock ratio, maybe 3.04 from memory, you will not notice the difference - thats all autos.. you say vx, if its a early vx it may have the vt s1 4 bolt yoke, if so just change your drive shaft and diff from a later vx/vy. some vx has vt s1 rear cradles as well which dont have camber adjustment so youd have to do a cradle swap. it shouldnt be expensive at all. hope it helps.
