[@AngryGermanGarage]

Hey guys. The reason the power steering starts like that (like a jet) is because it is wired incorrectly. This is fail-safe mode. To get this, you must have the 2 trigger wires connected to 12v simultanously. What you actually want is them staggered. The way this is done in the Astra is to have 1 (Black) connected to ignition and the 2nd wire (Blue) connected to the alternator light output. This way, the pump will jump to life full-speed when the engine starts. No more wind-up and wind-down, and better performance. @Nathan, this is how I have it wired up on my car (the LS2 turbo Volvo 240 from the mega-meet in Melb about a month back).

[@DeathBaseTURBO]

Currently got the same thing for my territory turbo

[@incolink]

does it take another PWM input from ECU or speedo ?? because I see it has alot of pins ? can you piont me to any wiring diagrams online ?

[@AngryGermanGarage]

@@incolink not that I'm aware of. Only 4 wires. Main power, main earth. Blue and black signal wires. I don't know what the other wire is used for but leaving it disconnected isn't an issue for swaps.

Highlight of my week for KZbin

[@leigh7225]

Enjoyed the series guys, I am doing this at the moment with my E30 325i coupe but with a L77 6.0l. Great to see what its like. :)

[@markgunther8297]

The most fun you can have with your pants on. My god that thing is wicked😎👍

[@BMWarrior1]

Nice build, this thing must rip!

[@casanovasprojectcars]

Damn that’s a clean build. Just got my first e30 and this is the goal I’m shooting for

[@loueyhowell3796]

Great show!

[@matttodd3778]

Awesome car guys

[@vigilante351]

That thing rocks! Must be a close ratio box, cos dam it takes off in 2nd just as revvy as 1st!! great job.

[@DATONALKY]

I've got the same radiator in my 900hp Barra Cressida, suprisingly also keeps it cool 👌 eBay for the win 😂

[@SeventyRS]

That thing sounds amazing! Makes me want to stuff a LS in my e30 touring.

[@piffiiiiiiit]

Those wheels are perfect 👌

[@65Coasty]

There's a place in Sydney that makes a kit for this build. Mighty Car Mods did it 2 years ago.

[@TorqHub]

*"Now, imagine this engine combination but with a turbo on it, in a VY ute"* I have a feeling I know what that feels like 🤔😅

[@ThatGuy_21]

The Turbo Tonner!! 🤩

[@jeepnutscotty]

What a mint little package!!! Would love one myself

[@GavincredibleAU2]

7:10 so good 🤣interior is awesome also 👍

[@joshobrien5112]

Great review and your welcome for the name GMW

[@kevinhamling1963]

Looks and sounds awesome guys especially on those private roads you we're on. 😁

[@Mikey_Perth]

Love it!

[@markmathews206]

Crazy love it

[@cdh76]

Good stuff. My kind of car

[@MrSamlyle]

How good does that sound!! 😃

[@canadagoose3812]

Do you guys have a detailed exhaust system set up description? I have an ls1 swapped myself and mine does not sound anything like that. My God it sounds phenomenal!

[@hellowestley]

did they ever make the kit? and if so what’s it called?

[@james22939]

Love it so much keep it up lads

[@benjohnson7170]

Frikkn mint job.

[@richardpilla5524]

Man I built one of these with a turbo years ago......... ON FORZA hahaha. This thing would be such a handful

[@lummylum1875]

What size rims (and offset) and tyres is this car running. I am having an LS1 swap in my E30

[@andrewleigh3723]

Any ideas on what the engineering will cost?

[@paullutherborrow637]

Would be an awesome little car to drive ! Is that the gear stick rattling or the engine pinging ?

[@HackshopGarage]

Yeah that is the gearstick, the mechanism is bolted directly to the box so liam is looking at changing it up a little to reduce that rattle

[@MRGILLYA]

Man I’d love to do this but with a TJ Magna, it would definitely be different.

[@cheveburkinshaw860]

Yep different

[@samtheo2234]

Drift car build please

[@markgalvin5263]

try baer brakes way better then willwoods

[@sheel2]

When you say it's a painful conversion. Do you think now that you've got the experience, doing it again would be less painful? Or is it just plain tricky no matter what?

[@sheel2]

Ps. Love the review style vid. Happy to see more!

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, yeah having done it now and learning from it, it would make it a lot easier. It was mostly difficult because we were mounting everything from scratch with no kits, so just getting everything in place was difficult to begin with

[@JeffmilesMILES]

What muffler is that called again on the bmw

[@cky0100]

Varex, the muffler with the butterfly valve in it

[@borisyeltsin9206]

Great review guys, it sounds fantastic and it certainly looks like a lot of fun to drive. I’m currently deciding what to do with the LS and manual box I have in the shed , I think I just found it.

[@timwhalan6417]

👍🏻🍺👏

[@toni_zestino_aus]

All that & no mention of my tyres on the front... thoroughly disappointed 😞😥

[@markgriffin4888]

Why not just leave it registered in Victoria, seeing he has driven it for 12 months as is, I assume illegally, save any hassles in the Banana Republic !!!

[@liamquinny]

Getting the car engineered is much easier in Queensland. rego and insurance is also much cheaper too

[@markgriffin4888]

@@liamquinny - I thought there was now an AUSTRALIAN standard for modified vehicles. I know that there is for street rods, so I would have thought that it would be the same???
