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.

[@allandriver2066]

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

[@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...

[@raelik777]

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

[@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!!!

[@wangonguy62]

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

[@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.

[@vtwin_vandals]

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

[@tomahoks]

Atlas Being Haha, epic!

[@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. 🤙🤙👌👌

[@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!!

[@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!!

[@evanboubouka3031]

Excellent choice! I need that sound in my life!

[@Ward1706]

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

[@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

[@Blackfox2x]

30:37 that burn :D love it

[@clintwhite4372]

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

[@OddSpanner]

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

[@Nikdangove]

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

[@Getaname4real]

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

[@patgould7795]

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

[@mrAudisubaru]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@rocketroosterrules]

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

[@UkieAndKiwi]

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

[@stevenclarke374]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@edgelord4678]

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

[@alexbrown1995]

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

[@fuelandfire4486]

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

[@raspberrywatkins]

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

[@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.

[@bluecent]

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

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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..

[@fordyford]

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

[@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 👍

[@Tuilaione]

WOW... Never heard a Kinga like that before... 😃😃😃🤯🤯🤯

[@carlosf569]

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

[@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!

[@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...

[@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.

[@Thatsald]

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

[@japorah]

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

[@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.

[@jp1991gt]

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

[@scottmoore9215]

The Hoff certainly knows his stuff.

[@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!

[@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.

[@stevenboyd5044]

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

[@seaniemcp2887]

The old H series chassis is gonna love all that new torque..... 🤣. Sick build guys. Makes me miss my old WB pano

[@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! ;)

[@1MBStudios]

Why do I need "HARROP TV CONETENT" when you guys make the best conetent :)

[@yowie0889]

Despite having a lot of choice, some people are just never conetented.

[@Jack-tx2ve]

I had a shiny 3 lobe roots blower that worked great as a muck spreader on the farm.

[@keithberwanger6595]

Threw my arms up in excitement when I saw the twin screw.

[@backyardbangers1012]

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

[@gearhead1234]

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

[@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.

[@timothythompson3029]

Gale Banks did some videos recently on comparing a couple different superchargers. They are very nerdy as he dives real deep in the data.

[@theskidfactory]

Timothy Thompson I wish Gale Banks was my Dad.

[@NorthstarRiders]

Very unique build. Clean and to the point.

[@rosscullen406]

My favorite KZbin channel. Period

[@realobiewan2918]

Greater Than 1 Bar Yoda. Kingswood project turned out quite nice. Waiting to see what's next. Cheers from Texas!

[@HighMansx]

30:30, scared the shit out of me -- sounded like some animal yelping lol.

[@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!

[@vinzenzgeske8987]

HTAP (higher than athmospheric pressure) Yoda is a bit of a mouthful. But the engineer in me got a nice laugh out of it. So thank you :)

[@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.

[@thelmahattingh2213]

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

[@willbarger2233]

Great vid. Like the start to finish format.

[@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.

[@ruebenskedgwell9627]

Perfect amount of horses for an ole wagon, just right for haulin ass well done guys

[@chriswalshe499]

Thanks fr that watched all eps. Go the Whining Iron Lion. I'll be checking out more of yr stuff.

[@slotxz9859]

I dont know if the skid factory blokes will see this but i had to pause this and go get maccas to finish it off and i had the f***ing wicked time 11/10 would reccomend

[@allandriver2066]

Can't beat an all windows down- including rear-"Aussie AC" wagon cruise.

[@dwaynecoomber6610]

AL that throttle bracket 🔥💯 quality and thanks for the trick.

[@grahamserle7930]

I want to know how many lemons were squashed in the making of this video. Seriously, I really enjoy your channel. Great work Yin and you too Yang.

[@joshladue3394]

We actually did have the 4v Ford's here, the 4v 5.4 was available in the expedition and the 4v 4.6 came in the Mercury marauder

[@nigelbaldwin2515]

Turbo Yoda + Old Holdens = 😍😍😍

[@spiv_gennedy]

The best type of intake manifold for any car is the belt driven kind.

[@dnick1981]

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

[@thebigw3377]

Love it - now bolt one on a Cleveland lads

[@Hoggdoc1946]

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

[@Lifeunedited86]

You two are bloody brilliant al your amazing with so much stuff, woody your a legend do a shed walk around

[@OllamhDrab]

It's hard to tell over these little speakers sometimes, but I think I really love that engine sound. :)

[@kbracing96]

Rogue Fab is in Sandy Oregon ;)

[@rlscustoms]

One of my favorite builds hands down 😍

[@Psychalflare]

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

[@boingkster]

8:06 Mad Moxxie vibes from Borderlands.... I'm diggin' it.

[@craggatt]

Awesome, great episode. ... CROWN!

[@Knackersjewels]

This is why I want a shwooop shwoop on my ute, even when everyone says, get turbo for powa

[@rickphillips7221]

[@mattieflaps9222]
