Stock V6 Ecotec Turbo DYNO time for Kevin! We add BOOST!!!

[@Wad3c]

Went from watching rob dahm make 1000+rwhp in his 4 rotor awd rx7 to nugget garage making almost half that in a dirty old 6 banger rwd commodore, love it. #strayacunt

You and me both. Next up CartuneNZ for my daily dose of how to wire my lexus v8!

[@dukeperformance9978]

You guys show that anyone with any budget can build a fast and fun car, a true Nugget. Im just concern that every bogan in Logan with an Ecotec now has a formula to Turn their Centerlink funded skid pig in to a 379Hp one wheel peeler super skid pig. The streets will never be that same lol.

[@deanrobert8674]

The cops would love it, within a week all there Kevin's will be sitting in the impound yard, paying them rent with all proceeds going towards the Xmass party. And all Paid for by Barry Bogan and his mates.

[@johncoops6897]

Even the most Centrelink funded skid pig has a welded diff. No need to remove the carrier... just blast it off with brake kleen and weld 'er up 😂😂

[@ScottSherrington]

Full name for Kevin.... 'KEVIN BLOODY WHISTLIN!'🤣🤣🤣

[@MitchJ11]

The banter in this episode was next level was in stitches 🤣 keep it up boys Go Kevin!!

[@sixhunt]

did you guys have the power button pressed on the shifter ?

[@hedleyt8095]

Of course mate!

[@nigalwootton1385]

Loved watching all your build series. Hope use are doing well with your latest issues but that's life. We have to take the good with the bad

[@MrKombiman]

Kevin is this man just keeps going and going and never wants to give up haha

[@malachim55]

Looking into delving into this field but with stroking the eco bottom end to suit some aftermarket Intech pistons with suiting rods can’t wait to see what monster I can make

[@timsmith854]

It was the RTS badge on the dash that was responsible for most of the power.

[@cars3800]

23:04 wonder how long the plastic dip stick will last.

I was seriously hoping for the 4 hundie.. but 379 will do.. for now. Not bad for a throw-together old donkey.

[@nathanpeachs2704]

You blokes did well, was waiting for the bang lol. Nice work!

[@wesgates5632]

Three eights are all the rage right now, Scotty from Carnage with the SC L67. Be interesting to see what power he can get in comparison. Good result!

[@NuggetGarage]

This is all for you Wes! lol

[@MrLinnyb007]

Isnt it amazing how easy the Autronic is to work with. Absolutely love working with them even to this day.

[@joshuabland8607]

Thought they where rocking the autronic

[@shanemassey6073]

Watched and liked all the videos. Good job fellas keep going with those nuggets haha

[@cornfedboost]

I think that snails got no more power left to give.. with a bigger one and revving it to 6k I recon she'd crack the 400hp mark pretty easily... add a few sneaky psi at the track to get the goal sorted 😊🤘

[@NuggetGarage]

Lol possible

[@cornfedboost]

Oooor and just putting this out there just just leave the wastegate pressure hose off... 😁🤘🤔

[@TheWretchedWorld]

283rwkw is not bad for a completely standard ecotec. If you stuck a cam in with the supporting valve train components you could have made that same power with a lot less boost.

[@smoothwalrus9354]

Great to see you fellas having so much fun modifying crap cars and whooshkiechoochooing them

[@miskone1044]

poor kev, just wants to mang

[@backyardbasher]

Great episode guys, I was expecting about 300 on the dyno.

[@boltonky]

Great watching you guys as you can tell your builds actually mean something and are about having fun....secretly e85 and water /meth injection gets installed (its just the button for nos) haha.

[@ROT45UTE]

Kevin Dudd!!!!! What a weapon.

[@TalkieToaster.]

Is that the same lump we got in the UK for Carltons, Cavs, Omegas or whatever else? Me old man used to come home for breaks in Vauxhall Senator 24v, Vectra V6 etc as well as the Volvo T-5, Mondeo ST24, ST200, WRX - seem to remember a late model V6 Cavalier (he was a motorway cop).

[@NuggetGarage]

Not as far as I know, these are the older Buick motors as used in Buick, Pontiac etc in the USA market, Not the MV6

[@5lcalais1]

Nah they're straight 6s and the vectra v6 is only 2.5L and is absolute rubbish lol the 24v straight 6s go ok though from what I've heard but we don't have them in oz 👍

[@PaddyBoy644]

Loving your work guys 👍🏻

[@markmcleod2322]

Yep love the videos boys, keep em coming!

[@1one3_Racing]

You're supposed to be the best exhaust shop in Qld, and it sounds like THAT!

[@tmmtmm]

Well, given the car doesn't so much have an exhaust as a 2 foot mang pipe plumbed straight to the deck, I think they're off the hook.

[@strider5119]

I dont think thats a full system. It sounds like its just the dump pipe

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

"Good job Kev, ya dickhead" So much mang from llama thrusts. This is great guys, keep em comin

[@steadyfab]

Always entertaining lads!

[@electricsnut]

Ecotec loves the boost! L67 was great 🙂

[@Chris-yy7qc]

6:35 Because boost is a measurement of the air which did not make it into the cylinder. 😋

[@johncoops6897]

Yep. A water pressure washer makes >2000 psi of "boost".

[@roflstompa87]

Did you fellas delete the air conditioning? Also with the reverse plenum did the wiring near the throttle body reach over or did you have to extend the wiring. Cheers

[@El_Chompo]

Man, that thing sounds great!

[@idoskidsattheawesomeauzzie9255]

You both seem a LOT more relaxed today

[@davidmcgee2983]

Leave the nitrous on for the whole run and go out in a blaze of glory 😂

[@davidgriggs3967]

At 15 psi with every pull through the mid range when your making your most torque those rod's will fatigue a little more each time till it throws a leg out of bed .

[@adrianp6646]

Have you looked into the mace engineering plenum spacers?

[@howesyaadventures5542]

[@onedayiwillmakesomecontent]

Geez, anyone who reckons a turbo barra sounds bad needs to listen to this. Kevin sounds like my Kenwood Chef on speed 10! If he could pull 8-9000rpm might be RB territory lol.

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Shaun Dunford there’s a guy over here in the states who revs his to 8k in a Monte Carlo. Just look up 3800 series 2 turbo 8000 rpm... sounds pretty mental in comparison to this

[@camandjaiden]

So apparently boat anchors can make some power!

[@theequalizer7297]

Hello, I have a problem with the 3.8 ecotec engine. When I press the accelerator pedal, a slight gurgling sound appears, and when I lift the fuel, a slight crackling sound then fades and falls significantly. I have been suffering from this problem for a year and a half for the Lumina Model 2000

[@JetMan35]

Where do I get a turbo for mine ?

[@tomd5953]

Just make me respect the dirty barra even more 😂 reach around turbo and no intercooler living it's best life. Should wack a ebay water to air intercooler on it bigger fuel pump and e 85 tune see what it makes before it dies 👌👌👍

[@JasonfromBiripiCountry]

And the Barra was running half the boost & std pump fuel, and made 10 HP less. Your right mate respect to the Barra, makes you wonder what the Barra could really do

[@MikeWest_W]

Turbo blanket or not? Do you ever use them?

[@_Skim_Beeble]

To mang or not to mang.......Barra is the answer.

[@mg74xbgt]

Falcon against Commodore sounds like fun. But couldn't you keep pushing Kevin with V6 till he blows !!! Then put the Falcon Barra into Kevin and repeat the procedure .... Same car , different engine. Be a nice comparison. We once boosted a stock LPI barra and managed 410rwhp on 7psi.....e85 of course.

[@trevorsmith9251]

Kevin 💪🔥

[@NuggetGarage]

Stock engine with headbolts backed out and swapped to studs

[@rapposracing8538]

Great Stuff love watching the Channel!! Do you know the car weight yet? I’m interested to see what a striped out VS is I’m guessing under 3000lbs?

[@bioshock425]

only low boost cause ya dont wanna blow it apart? or is the converter stopping it. 20psi ?

[@NuggetGarage]

It's at 15psi with stock head gaskets, not overly keen to push them out the side just yet lol

[@chefcamsey1375]

Kevos a Sicko 😂

[@NuggetGarage]

Hahaha

[@Sano685]

How do you guys wire up the ls1 coil in V6 pls

[@HISL67]

Can you tell me what I'll need to complete my vy V6 Ecotec I want to turbo it I got the turbo kit an manifolds, piping will it just need a tune

[@johncoops6897]

If you have to ask that question, then you shouldn't be trying it.

[@TheTobes99]

Needs a cam or different ratio lifters. So limited up high lol

mmmm dunno what the go there is, ive seen much more ghetto turbo setups on eco's pushing into the 400s easily

[@5lcalais1]

More than a few running around Victoria with between 430 and 450 wheel safely, quite a few been running around for 4/5 yrs at that level on completely stock engines, just fuel system and boost 👌

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Harley Ross this ones probably just a really tired engine

No cam that's why the engine is cam limited

Yeah there's about 17 different versions of the same engine, some fwd, some rwd, even some 4x4 ones, they're in Commodore, forklifts, boats, buick lesabre etc. Even a lot of gm trucks 👍 to everyone else they're buick/gm 3800s to us ozzies they're ecotec 👍
