HOLDEN KINGSWOOD GETS BOOSTED! - THE SKID FACTORY

[@nickyjim12]

That intro though😂👌🏼👍🏼 “Catch is, I didn’t name myself Turbo Yoda”

[@tepidtuna7450]

Yeah, cracked me up, especially when he swept away the turbo boxes.

[@warwickryan7130]

Love the way Higher-than-atmospheric-pressure Yoda tries to look nonchalant while the car's on the dyno.

[@coolkidscarclub]

Al's delivery on camera has come a long way, total professional. Great job guys!

[@brendanhall7539]

Awesome vid guys. To all international watchers. A servo is a service station.

[@faspit95]

I just love you dimple dies. The first set I had were made out of Oak, wood that was flame treated. Turned both die halves in the lathe, then flame burned the shapes, light sanding then some oil to preserve the wood and allow some slipping when forming the sheet metal. Keep showing us the right way to modify our cars the right way.

[@sireuchre]

That state Al couldn't think of is OREGON! When I first started watching MCM with Turbo Yoda making appearances, that's where I lived.

[@davidmeagher4909]

Turbo Yoda and Woody - brilliant combination. 10yr MCM fan here - introduced to Alan on the Supergramps and Stagea builds. So pleased that you've got your own channel now. Best thing on the internet...

[@allandriver2066]

Ron Harrop is a living legend. I'm sure he's forgotten more more than most of us could ever hope to know. 🙏

[@JT-4real]

"Blowing Yoda" had me in stitches. Nice build there lads, I am a Ford man but appreciate the engineering and that whine of the 5.0. 🤙🤙👌👌

[@raelik777]

Man, that thing sounds SO good, both the whine and the roar.

[@wangonguy62]

This car has now officially solidified its place as my favorite skid factory build🍻

[@someyoungguy6990]

The Iron Lion has been poked with a Harrop Angry stick and it sounds like its pissed off and ready to fight!! Great work guys, looks great sounds great, yeah i'm in love!!

[@clintwhite4372]

Thumbs up for Wendy taking the time to get her legs shaved.

[@evanboubouka3031]

Excellent choice! I need that sound in my life!

[@bangkokstallion]

I turn up to work everyday, look up the road to Noosa Radiators and wonder when ill get my next fix of Skid Factory. Today is the day! Seems like withdrawals slowly subsiding. Love your work guys!

[@g_wizard9866]

Love the opening bait n switch! TUUUUURRRRRBBBOOOOO YYYYOOOOOODDDDAAAAA!!

[@Ward1706]

Good to see the tradition of a V8 powered wagon doing a skid in Alan's shed is still going strong.

[@eformance]

You need a joke shirt too, "The Skid Factory", and it's a roll of toilet paper hanging on a dispenser, with only the last sheet and a ripped end.

[@playwme3]

EFormance Engineering , or Skid factory underwear.

[@jasoncie4926]

Shut up and take my money!!!

[@Nikdangove]

Man, That car just puts a smile on my face, and now supercharged, wow. Really would love a car like that. Beautiful.

[@Blackfox2x]

30:37 that burn :D love it

[@vtwin_vandals]

Woody sitting in the back "are we there yet Hoff?"

[@tomahoks]

Atlas Being Haha, epic!

[@PeteM.]

19:20 Al "touch wood" *woody slaps his own leg in the background*

[@wicksgarage32]

PeteM are you sure it was his “leg” hahaha

[@LivingMyBoostLife]

He missed an opportunity to touch the Kings Wood :-)

[@gas3273]

His third leg.

[@fuelandfire4486]

Great build guys. Blower in the valley the V8 makes so much sense. Great torque and linear power - and that sound is brilliant!

[@mrAudisubaru]

That was a suprise seeing a supercharger nice build love that you are doing something diffrent.

[@EricDraven79]

Love the longer content! And the special tip for brackets was awesome! Thanks Guys!

[@donfinch862]

You guys are bloody top level info/entertainment now. Chilled and confident with good banter. And you've got top mates in the business and supporting you

[@nigelbaldwin2515]

Turbo Yoda + Old Holdens = 😍😍😍

[@OddSpanner]

"Yurbo Toda" is now "squwooshy toda" Awesome work. Loving the new graphics, and I now really need a squwooshy in my automotive life.

[@raspberrywatkins]

Love what you do.... Dont ever stop guys... Quality viewing

[@patgould7795]

Very cool and so glad you showed the dyno run in the same episode!

[@rocketroosterrules]

This is by far the greatest cold open you've ever had for your show. Turbo yoda you've outdone yourself this time!

[@stevenclarke374]

I'm glad Al has come over to the blower side 👌 love that instantaneous torque

[@chrismclean8211]

Double shed skid madness!!! Woooo!

[@simontaylor6718]

Yeah, I was just thinking about that little rant he had about not pulling skids in client's cars a few episodes ago. I'm sure we're all happy he's moved on.

[@paulstandeven8572]

30:38 "If that supercharger was polished and terribly inefficient we would be ready for the burn-out pad". Is that a Cleetus reference?

[@BlackJewFish]

Probably more of a roadkill reference

[@tballz1988]

It was a reference to old gm 2 stroke blowers being basically useless. It was in the tech tip vid.

[@paulstandeven8572]

@@BlackJewFish Roadkill polishing a supercharger? Er, no

[@thekodanator]

My guess is that its a reference to the skid culture in Australia, where many of the best competitors run massive chargers at relatively low boost. Just my guess though.

[@t.p.ggaming3884]

@@thekodanator I wouldn't say relatively, 4-5 PSI of boost is objectively low boost considering the harrop charger in this car is alot less obnoxious looking and makes much higher boost

[@dank_productions94]

This whole build is awesome! So glad you guys finally did a supercharged Aussie 8 with Aussie gear behind it, love your work lads keep it up :)

[@LimitR]

New graphics look good guys! Also that torque is killer. All down low and tapering off a bit. But when your cruising it's the low end torque you want.

[@Al-pb9fs]

Thanks for the tip on putting the indent in the bracket fold. I was asking a mate just the other day how to do it and he didn't know. Quite timely, thanks.

[@edgelord4678]

Saw the Kinger on Hastings street Noosa on a recent trip to the area, such a sweet rig!

[@bluecent]

Nice lineal torque feed with a supercharger. And love the fact that it continues to look original.

[@carlosf569]

Lol!!! I love your comments on the roots blower. At least they look cool.

[@markhills3922]

AWESOME...... I want the Whining Lion! I watched the build from start to finish as I've always been a Lion Wagon lover. You guys are on point with these build videos. No BS, no fluff, no big sell. I've subscribed and hit the Bell! Cheers!

[@tommygreist9560]

Hell ya...boost it!What an awesome video! I can't wait 2 see the next Cummins 6bt video,I've been looking for it EVERYDAY after work,I love Skid Factory!

[@trojan6530]

I think maybe this was my very favorite SF to date....cant hardley wait to see what you guys have planned for the rest of 2020 !! Thanks for all your content...

[@rosscullen406]

My favorite KZbin channel. Period

[@Thatsald]

50min episode my dream has come true keep it up blokes

[@hyphensclassics]

Love it boys, now you get the reason why I am into SC’s. I run an R53 and the Harrop is a good upgrade, one on my list to do once the engine rebuild is complete! Cannot beat that whine and the instant and constant rush of power!

[@bigal878]

Good power for that boost. I agree with Al that no more boost is needed, especially since it was put together with standard pistons and the rod bolts weren’t upgraded.

[@jp1991gt]

Thanks for the tip on strengthening a 90* bend. I'll def use that in future builds. Enjoying the content as always.

[@GdaySport]

I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but this is one of the coolest cars you guys have done. Congrats!

[@johnpaulsmulders8639]

Thanks fellas, such a great episode, and a true eye-opener to transform a 304 into a beast. Loved that you used components from iconic Australian companies. The Kingswood might need some heavier sway bars to cope with the chaos you’ve unleashed!

[@scottmoore9215]

The Hoff certainly knows his stuff.

[@Getaname4real]

When I listen to the engine start. I thougt that there was someone screaming each time u reved it.. sounds so good.!

[@craigdavies69]

I forget how great iron lions sound sometimes, pretty cool the last 2 Summernats horsepower comps have been won by Aussie designed engines. Awesome work.

[@marsdenbalaska784]

Yes, Big Horses coming

[@willbarger2233]

Great vid. Like the start to finish format.

[@rickphillips7221]

SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD!

[@stevenboyd5044]

Nothing better than waking up to a skid factory vid. Good effort lads.

[@japorah]

44:50 what a whine. Could listen to that over and over again

[@craggatt]

Awesome, great episode. ... CROWN!

[@dubCanuck1]

Start shouting on the comments section! Turbo Yoda is now Sqwooshy Yoda.

[@FatbocSlin]

I think that Higher than atmospheric pressure Yoda would look better on a T-shirt and sounds better

[@jamesnutley1456]

1 bar Yoda lol

[@installwebercarburetorsona6159]

Super-Yoda

[@Darwinpasta]

Heee's the hyperbaric yoooodaaaaaaa

[@FlyingShotsman]

@@Darwinpasta Now *that's* obscure -- love it!

[@backyardbangers1012]

Awesome work fellas. Absolutely love it n the whole iron lion build

[@fordyford]

Bloody cool cruiser. I love a good bit of supercharge whine. I always wanted another one.

[@thelmahattingh2213]

this is one off my best loved channels. just awesome petrol heads.

[@dnick1981]

We love what you guys do! Great to see and understand the different engine options available.

[@hammeredhemi1223]

Icing on the bloody cake boys. Well done, very neat, and great result for the little Iron Lion, that car is definitely a keeper now.

[@jby257]

Keep the holdens coming.

[@alexbrown1995]

Ron Harrop was in hospital - next bed to my old man - many years ago. Had some great yarns with him.

[@aaronkay257]

Love it. Loving the long episode too

[@brianross4057]

Ahh, the old lecky tape bandage, works really well with a Kleenex tissue for large wounds.

[@boingkster]

Better yet, put a layer of glad wrap over it if its a large area... otherwise you'll be picking scabbed Kleenex out of you for ages.

[@craigdavies8099]

A medic once told me the adhesive on electrical tape is antibacterial so perfect to use. As for the Kleenex that's for your nose and your... Yet another awesome episode guys, cheers.

[@rosscampbell6644]

teflon thread tape is ideal for finger cuts ... put er on tight for the initial bleed then back it off when the throbbin starts ...... once ya stop leakin give it a wash and reapply .. and non stick !!

[@alexbrown1995]

I thought his thumb was in mourning....

[@P0LYPRO]

Two words, super glue.

[@bleeksbentbits3150]

At least Whine'n Lion doesn't give me a mental picture each time of Ted Bullpitt dressed as the Lion from Wizard of Oz chained up in a basement of an S&M club like it's previous name does... Cheers for that, AND for sharing the awesome job you've done for the ol' girl! ;)

[@gregmyatt9932]

All the holden boys will love the new shirt. Could you do a Fairlane or barra or ford diffs or ford brakes shirt, you know all the good stuff😀. For the ford boys and girls.. please..

[@Psychalflare]

Wow, the reveal at the beginning, you actually really surprised me XD Excited to see this!

[@aSinisterKiid]

Hell Yeah!!! Turbo Yoda Finally Comes out to play!!

[@thebigw3377]

Love it - now bolt one on a Cleveland lads

[@nismofreak33]

hell yeah. thanks again!

[@bobroberts2371]

8:23 with that type of drain valve, before install, press a short piece of 1/4 " brake tubing into the end. When it comes time to drain the system, slide a piece of 1/4" vacuum hose on the tubing and direct it to a pan.

[@Oblithian]

Excited about a Supercharger for a change!

[@jasonparker1926]

Love the Whining Lion boys! Great build, great episode.. but I would love to see that Crown of Al's on the Skid Factory!! Get on it!.... please.

[@gearhead1234]

That new supercharger sound gives the iron lion an unusual "roar".. Cheers!

[@rlscustoms]

One of my favorite builds hands down 😍

[@chedhead3278]

Cheers guys, great episode. Much preferred the music too, good choices to my ears. Had to rewind the drive-by shot a few times, epic! :)

[@nathanhughes9996]

I just missed my grand mother's funeral for this episode and I don't even feel bad! Great content guys keep up the excellent work! I'm off to the SF store to get me a shirt and stubby cooler 👍

[@Hoggdoc1946]

You guys are the best, so laid back....

[@607CHA]

Love how informative you boys are. Really know ya shit

[@bobroberts2371]

24:45 On a 700R4 the cable is more than a kick down, this cable brings line pressure up as throttle opening increases. It performs the same function as a vacuum modulator on a 350 or 400 trans..

[@theskidfactory]

Bob Roberts As std that is indeed the role of the cable but the Hughes box is modified to allow constant 175psi line pressure, that is one of the ways the TH700 can survive in this application.

[@bobroberts2371]

Guys, thanks for the added info,I was addressing this so others would not leave the cable off in a stock / lightly modified trans. . . . .. With the line pressure at max all the time, this can lead to a bumpy light throttle / closed throttle shift as well as a harsh N - D - R engagement that gets tiresome on the street. I'd be tempted to use a non linear cam where the TV cable attaches and an override spring to allow full throttle once the TV cable is pulled tight. The goal would be to have low line pressure below say 20 % throttle then a rapid ramp up to full line pressure at say 40 % throttle. . . . This does require a bit of engineering and I'm betting Hughes doesn't want to risk outside systems causing a trans failure so they just pin LP to the max. Anyway, thanks for the always great vids.

[@jacobbarth2169]

The new music SLAPS! Good job 🤘

[@MarcelEnglmaier_1]

that's probably the best intro in a while!!!!!

[@usedchoc]

Cool new graphics guys 👍

[@hodl2082]

They had to make sure to be ahead of the freedom factory. Bloody cleetus

[@NextLevelMotorsport]

Have been playing with the harrop blower on the 2gr convesion in a lotus exige recently. Top quality gear

[@ischafer567]

Yeah, got one on my Evora S as well. Works great, but misses the intercooler 😔 So good to see the guys doing some blower action and really enjoying it! 👌

[@aserta]

Harrop is hands down one of the best at what they do. Attention to detail, good business thinking, good customer support.
