THE SKID FACTORY - Nissan Patrol TD42 Turbo Diesel Swap [EP5]

Al finishes up some wiring, makes a snorkel and then the boys take their freshly finished Patrol out for a test run, but is it powerful enough to tow up the highway?

4" all day long brah

[@AJGoesPro]

Man of very few words old turbo yoda, what a champion but!

[@dinosshed]

Very true, means he’s a wise man as those who speak many words are often full of shit.

[@TheMeta6]

Dino's Shed The world is full of two types of people..... talkers and doers!

[@shamblershamfam3597]

I like this guy. Lots of knowledge and experience. Really knows what he's doing. Very impressive.

[@Madmick82]

Sally = Cheryl's sister

[@geraldswain3259]

Cracking job guys. Regards from an old pommy b. Who's been fitting the wrong engines to the wrong cars for 45yrs.

[@andrewshelly6804]

I've been watching mcm for about 3 years now and I still can't get over turbo yoda's amazing knowledge of everything cars. Maaad

[@gospelwraith]

NEED Skid Factory merch. Stickers and shirts please!

[@mavezy]

Yes, good call!

[@mightycarmods]

Soon!

[@readman010]

"will this fit my Honda?" With a silhouette of angry Alan would be amazing.

[@keffmode]

4 inches mate!

[@CeaselessSlinky]

keffmode maybe he shoulda clarified that's diameter, not length

[@chrissoto1657]

That's not something I'm usually be proud of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@catfish552]

Other people: Buy a black plastic snorkel. Al: Welds one out of 4-inch stainless steel.

[@stephenhegarty]

"it's not a dumb person's car anymore" ... love it

[@lindsayburrows9272]

"Keeps you engaged with your vehicle" Love it!

[@Averna222]

*clack clack clack clack clack clack clack* Man, I love diesels.

[@notimetoexpIain]

Such a powerful sound, I would take a diesel over a petrol as a daily any day

[@linus3502]

NoTimeToExplain me to

[@mcruzadonys6395]

-Snorkel is kinda loud isnt it? -Shut the window! -trriiggerrrredd.... problem solved 🙃😖

[@grizoh]

I could watch this guy build cars all day.

[@darius2640]

would like to see Al riding his dirtbike, does he hit some air or is he more like an enduro guy, maybe put in a cheeky little clip of that next time

[@mightycarmods]

Dariune you’ll see it soon enough, we just smash some mad trails in the forest

[@afroaliens]

all he does is wheelies, for days!

[@cardesinr]

cant wait to see the new injecton pump on there, gonna be mad....

[@metaomicron72]

All the POWAAAH Woooosshh

[@trayner]

Needs a ecu re map too

[@MaRsHaLLCurTiS7]

What ecu?

[@trayner]

Marshall Curtis true lol forgot his doenst run one , was thinking about my ford ranger getting a ecu remap for more power.

[@MaRsHaLLCurTiS7]

Should definitely put a 14mm on it too

[@bigdrummerboy777]

Al will live a very long life. He doesn’t waste his breath talking shit and therefore saves precious breaths for later in life. Awesome episode as usual.

[@isuguy82]

Turbo Yoda, you are a wonderful guy. And Woody, you are too.

[@ELsplitterz]

Yohzah. Been waiting for this all week!

[@SMCca]

"let's go ride those dirtbikes eh?" Maybe not such a good idea in retrospect eh? lol

[@350stato]

I'll have to hand it to you about the comment....

[@troydowler3581]

These comments are getting out of hand

[@JoeJoeMoto]

hahaha nice one guys. It's very HANDy to have some good jokes though. Al did that when we were riding together.

[@alanbutler2579]

I regret nothing. It was actually the next ride a week later that old mate snapped my finger.

[@Kalimerakis]

what am I missing?

[@ericmichel9418]

I knew Al wouldn't be happy with the power when I first saw episode 1. Looking forward to some diesel power mods. :)

[@JTMelb76]

Love how much I'm learning about diesels in this series. Even more so as I drive a VW 1.9 TDI Caddy. It's no Patrol, but it's awesome as it gets me and my mobility scooter around. Thanks guys!

[@funkypotamus]

Jeez I'm very surprised that both the 4.5 petrol and the 4.2 diesel are so gutless! Loving the videos gents. The knowledge is amazing!!!

[@TyNeePen15]

Almost went to bed. Then I saw this! Love the show, keep up the great work!

[@lory2622]

Thanks guys. Looking fwd to the injector pump episode.

[@TheFarloooo]

Al, you truly are the Yoda of car guys.

[@saxon7034]

Sweet love the simplicity of this car ! From the manualised auto to the glow plug switch. Such a neat engine bay aswell making use of factory parts like the airbox ! Keen to see the ip upgrades 👌🏼

[@BFE08STI]

Holy moly that snorkel sounds amazing!

[@PadmaDorjee]

You two look like the best of mates.

[@GGoodroad]

This is what I wish mcm did more of. We love diesels here in the USA.

[@AndyQuinton]

Such a great show, thanks as always guys.

[@harrisonbaker8481]

Love this series

[@jonaspettersen225]

More diesel projects!, car turned out great :)

[@jerrywh3]

I dropped everything for this.

[@paultaylor9939]

Nice job binge watch them cheers

[@tommysutton9361]

So good to see some diesel power on this channel. Great build BTW. When are you gonna do those tappets? Or is that the pump clattering?

[@BaguetteBeardBass]

Tommy Sutton mech pumps are pretty noisy, just drown it out with turbo spool!!

[@bloodyricho1]

Real mechanics don't fix noises in their own cars they just turn the stereo up louder

[@Kalimerakis]

you must be a fine mechanic ;D

[@FloppydriveMaestro]

Nice work boys. More skid factory please

[@richardhunter9779]

After the first episode, I skipped a whole bunch of these, but your videos have gone a long way!

[@Ronke01]

I know I'm gonna love the next episode!!

[@guillaumebergeron9848]

That was a great episode!! Thanks guys

[@01FozzyS]

Nice work,TurboYoda!

[@stephenmarton7631]

I can't wait for the next episode. I love diesels. Hopefully I shall get one in the future. Thinking on a VW BEW golf. I am in school for being a heavy truck/equipment mechanic

[@ianarjoon5752]

Love the work

[@iainmartin1015]

Great job guys.

[@madvk308]

great vid, looking forward to the next ep

[@jameshayward3842]

I think Al might be a genius. The electronics he described as though they were a walk in the park!

[@gman3850]

Turbo Yoga back at it again

[@imightholla]

I dont want to trigger all the welders, hahaahahhahahaah

[@tamagage2206]

What a lot of work however awesome

[@marians8772]

honestly, is there something more beautiful in the world than Turbo Yoda basically saying "I need more power" ?

[@bertfromnz9069]

Hi Al - my SWB 96 Safari has 12mm head and runs 15lb boost, has done for years, i can tow anything at 140kmh! its on 33's which is good gearing, great vids!

[@maartenyzer4121]

Nice dudes car ,one must think.....driving is an art...happy drives...

[@deanm3342]

I just noticed the convo pros. Great taste mate

[@vincebastier9815]

Great job Boys 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@GeertPolo]

I love this videos! I'm happy it's not powerful enough....

[@marcusl9118]

Love the welding part ;)

[@matthewferguson6919]

Lets go ride those dirt bikes..... famous last words.

[@metronemy]

Why's that?

[@alanbutler2579]

I regret nothing.

[@matthewferguson6919]

metronemy he bin it off the bike and hurt his hand. Was asking what vids we wanted made while recovering.

[@maze2756]

Alan Butler...3s-gte and drive train. from a caldina gtt into a early model corona.... look up Toyota corona vs Subaru legacy...That's my old build that I'd like to make 4wd this time now I live in qld

[@BigBoyLies]

damn that snorkel is mint!

[@Ultravore]

MANUAL POWER!

[@slmiano]

Al, If you can learn to use your converter lockup around town it will make a big difference with engine breaking. I drive an automatic truck where the converter locks up automatically in second gear and stays locked as long as the truck stays above 20klm/h, and It still has an exhaust break that works great. Just some food for thought... Awesome videos by the way, Keep em comin man.

[@frazalikhan1]

Yoda the true legend!

[@Clickmaster5k]

Loving the skid factory. Cool truck. I think its time for Moog and Marty to get a 4x4 and so some sort of challenge. Do you guys get the Jimny down there? That would be perfect little 4x4 for them I would think.

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

I think I saw that starter button in an episode of MCM with a Mira. 🚗

[@kade290488]

Very clever man !

[@CyberDunk2077]

MIGHTY CAR MEDIA!!!

[@ostracizedelite5096]

I'd love to see some build with a 6BT in it! Those are some strong, powerful engines

[@CarAndMechanical]

VP44 Pump....ok now you really have my attention!

[@descott1976]

Built up a special pump up about 20 yrs ago for one we stuck a garret turbo on, 12mm plunger, boost compensation etc, can't remember what the highest hp was when we finished but do remember we wound it back to 47% higher than standard. Used to squeal tires in third.........

[@jota5969]

Turbo Yoda is bad ass.

[@DeadReckon]

Having a overdrive button is definitely handy, the old GM land yachts and trucks I'm use too have a mechanical overdrive setup, between neutral and drive. I like that my '94 Nissan Sentra has a button, I turn the overdrive off while hooning the car up and down the mountain back roads of Southwestern Virginia. It really helps going back down hill, the car doesn't coast as much so you don't have to beat on the brakes as much slowing down for tight corners. I also had a '85 Dodge D100 with a 727 automatic 3 speed, something was wrong with it and it wouldn't shift gears, had to shift it manually, it was pretty annoying. If that thing will fit a Cummin's pump, try finding a heavy duty application 6BT pump, like off a bus. I think they use a 12mm plunger.

[@adrianmurphy8927]

Ive done the same conversion , call United fuel injection in western australia, matt is the td42 guru im running his 18g turbo and 250hp pump 680nm at the treads

[@coltonmcrae5873]

Factory turbo diesels do crank case ventilation in to the turbo inlet pipe to pull sufficient vacuum. Although most do well or arguably better with a basic breather pipe like you said/have.

[@mickwebs]

love you video's

[@2450logan]

Your welds AL reek of sex appeal they're too damn good in my opinion.

[@remyche4300]

Go to the fisherys and ask around for a old 6bt from a fishing boat, they had injector pump you can get off them. They just use the Cummings for a alternator on the boat.

[@floatybisquit]

Carpeted dash for the win

[@stigonutube]

Awesome.nix beats a manual glowplug system, rigged one in my 4m40t pajero and made my glow plugs last again lol..a real blokes car with custom gear knobs and buttons... 4inches all day long.. good one hehehe

[@TahawusEFKT]

you guys would love some of the crawls we have here in northern New York state.

[@fabianquiros5160]

5.9 cummins 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@gnome4x480]

Looking good, fellas! Next season, maybe do some work on the Challenger so I can get some inspiration for mine? ;)

[@GdaySport]

TD42 responds well to bigger pump. Surprised the Yoda didn't stick one on straight away before fitting the engine!

[@dinosshed]

Diesels like this old school clacker respond well to lpg injection/fumigation. Gets the benefit of longer range as well as loads more grunt. Get a second hand tank from the wreckers, add in a boost referenced regulator and away it goes.

[@SprayIgniteBoom]

I like that you take the time to explain the technical reasons behind mechanical restrictions i.e. the Bosch fuel pump. Keyboard warriors would say stupid things like "Get a bigger turbo!!!"...umm Unicorn 🦄 farts 💨 in the wind 😀😇🤗 two thumbs up 👍 👍🔥💩❄️

[@Wowthatsfail]

This video gave me gas

[@aaaabababa]

Well, i wasn't this early on your videos, ever.

[@mikeysgarage3697]

Kettle eh? The Suzuki GT750 was nicknamed the kettle in the UK, water-cooled 3-cyl in-line 2-stroke, liked to overheat the middle cylinder.

when they added a turbo to the NA diesel I was wondering if they change the pump to a TD version with an LDA Without that there is not enough fuel at boost

[@sarmonaz1249]

"i mean all diesels get hot if something isnt right... its not just these. but ive also got a new hub and found a bigger aftermarket fan and new rad to go in!"

[@gtsman78]

@mcmtv2 quick video on the tail lights would be good, look very cool

[@MrToober]

Would it help if the snorkel was forward facing? Can't help but think it would struggle to suck air a bit the way it is.

[@EndIess]

Hey Al, really hoping you see this message. Can you provide anymore info on the viscous hub and fan you have used? I have a ZD30 converted into a TD and still using the zd30 auto crossmember. As far as I'm aware the quickazz and UFI fans and hubs are a no go for me as the engines too far forward so I'd be really keen on giving your set up a go. Thanks!! P.S I cant get enough of you guys. Your content and personalities just outshine the rest.

[@Neffers_UK]

Al and his mate are so chill. I hope they can springboard off this platform to get their own deal going. Dry humour fella's, no dramatics or nonsense. Thanks to Moog n Marty for letting them reside here. Much better than that Bret guy, I know he wanted to promote his wares but it was so crappy,

[@azagedon]

How long would you leave the stainless steel wool inside the cheapo catch can before changing it?

[@raywalters1109]

Do your brake lights work? Maybe I missed em but when you start sliding it at the end I don't think they light up

[@outlawdingo3020]

Upgrade the water pump too. Help keep the temps down especially if your towing

[@GregoryVeizades]

I'm sure it's already been done at this point. But you guys should get a Myna Pump for it!!!!

[@campbelltoe100]

You put a 12mm head and boost compensator off a lancruiser onto the factory zexel pump and have it tuned properly by a diesel shop

[@phantomwalker8251]

this lock up torque your on about,is that only top gear or low range first.which is more use as you cant beat an auto for 4x4ing.

[@aussiebevo103]

I hear a lot of diesel blokes go for 12mm fuel pumps when it comes to the TD42’s & Cruiser’s 1HDT? Maybe she needs a 3” straight through zorst? Those TD’s sound pretty good with open exhausts 😁

[@polyanthemos]

Great job Al. You compressed out the fuel lines obviously? Did you remove any more fuel from the tank after you pumped out what you could? Which engined GU would be the choice for the TD conversion. 3.0 litre? Cheers mate.

[@garynew9637]

3 litre has bad rep.
