Carnage - Making the Drag Challenge Ute Faster... And Safer!

[@colinmiles9390]

Man these boys know there stuff, I wish I had this to work with 40 years instead of having to fabricate by hand. You young guys don’t know how good you have it nowdays to get the speed you need

[@Low760]

If you had the money forty years ago you could pay too.

[@colinmiles9390]

@@Low760 forty years ago you couldn’t buy Car Hoists , gearbox and diff platforms that easily or ready and yes I did have the money if it was available.the power tools and equipment were not that easily ready for the standard builder, we had to do everything by hand. Go look at history of when these became available in Australia 🇦🇺 and you will see what I mean.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I know exactly try what you mean. Back in the day I had to hire an engine crane for a weekend to do engine swaps, now you can buy them at Supercheap.

[@PeterDrewSEO]

When I was an apprentice, we had a 10 bay shop, but only one had a hoist. our only power tool was a drill and PSI rattle gun , no amazing electrical tools people have today.

That’s one fancy undertray!

[@Beer_Dad1975]

That undertray assembly montage was epic! Amazing craftmanship. Not sure how anyone could criticize this build - as big a Barra and 1UZ fan as I am, and not normally so excited by pushrod V8's - I think this is still my favorite build from you in the last couple of years.

@@paultodd2375 Well, technically the fastest cars on the planet are rocket or jet propelled - but yeah, I'll not deny forced induction massive displacement pushrod engines are the way to go for maximum horsepower in ICE's - but let's face it, they just aren't very efficient or free revving compared to what you can get with a modern OHC setup - they have loads of other great attributes like how light and compact they are etc & I get why people love them though - I just love OHC for some reason I can't really explain.

Mate. You do what works best for you and the ute fken amazing. You built a car that ppl are jealous of good work can't wait to see it again

Indeed MPW did a great job on that under tray. 3D scanning and its ability to intergate with cad has become a real game changer today. 20 years ago it had to be done with tape measures and cardboard for complex shapes. Very nice.

Doubt you could do a car like this for under $100k unless you did it all yourself / have great sponsors.

[@biastv1234]

You probably already know, undertrays tend to give the cooling system a hard time coz they trap a bit of heat. The CAD stuff is awesome

Preferable compared to oil under the rear tyres at 150mph

Oi Scotty Since you are one of Victoria’s most experienced installer and remover of LS’s I thought you’d be the man to ask….do I only have to remove my tranny to do the rear main seal on my LS2? Cheers love ya work 🤘

Trans and flex plate and then you should be able to remove the rear main seal plate

[@Devastator0]

Another great video Scotty!! Quick question, for the ride height sensor, there is a gap in the undertray to allow it to get a reading from the road below right? lol. I'm sure you guys accounted for that when making the undertray but I just wanted to double check. Love your work mate!! Keep up the good stuff!!

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yep, there's a tube in the tray to allow the sensor to read through the tray

[@Devastator0]

Hey Scotty, how does the new converter stop from hitting the limiter? Was the old converter still slipping as you run out the back? Awesome build, looking forward to its first drag and drive event 👍

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Converter was still slipping in the top end

[@DavidN1975]

Hey Scotty generally question here, theres alot of debate on social media when it comes to prefilling an oil filter noticed you did. Some people say it's a good idea others not. Obviously since you've done it you agree with filling it what are your thoughts & why? Thanks & keep up the great content Dave 👍👍

[@STREETMACHINETV]

If it's not going to create a huge mess I might profile, but I've also not added oil plenty of times and that's been okay too.

[@Deano.1978]

Interested to know whether you need to have some type of training certificate to be "qualified" to pack a chute or just follow the instruction on the box. I mean it sounds simple enough but a snagged line or incorrect fold could mean good night Irene.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

There's no course that I know, or a certificate. But there's plenty of people who will show you. I learned from a KZbin video and I've done pretty well at it since then

Are you going to remove the tailgate to see if that'll make a difference, scotty?

[@flamintasty]

Doesn’t need tp remove it. Just leave it open at the dragstrip.

[@markrobinson1291]

I would knock up a light alloy cover if you don't want the air tumbling in the tub, also, there's good info on the turbulence in the tub of a ute, and how a open or removed tail gate isn't optimal #fluid dynamics

[@T1M083]

@flamintasty if it's open it'll interfere with shoot mount.

[@markrobinson1291]

An open or removed tailgate gives worse airflow through the bin than a closed tail gate A light cover would serve best, like Mullet #fluid dynamics

[@davidvincent2838]

I could be wrong but I think ANDRA have some regulations on tailgate removal.... well maybe not regulations but they frown upon it.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Really would have loved to have seen a couple of inch lip on the top side rear of the belly pan. If it did the unthinkable and did spit it guts out the bottom, and your traveling in a forward direction at speed, it could very easily spill oil over the back edge of the tray. What they have done is fine while it is stationary but it is unlikely to be needed when the car is stationary (unless it happened on the dyno). Also not fussed on the position of the ride height sensor. Yes it might have been a convenient location for mounting and wiring, but it does give you a hole towards the rear of the collection area. From a reading perspective it would be far more efficient somewhere near the radiator. But as usual the MPW guys have done excellent work.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

The Laser ride height is supposed to be mounted near the front axle centreline. We might add an internal lip on the tray later

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@STREETMACHINETV I could see reasoning for that as well. Putting it in front of the front wheels would give you a more travel movement sooner, but it also requires a sensor that is capable of reading on a bigger scale. Putting it behind the front wheels would give you a less responsive reading (subject to movement) but would be less inclined to factor in the shock travel. Yes it would depend on which the sensor prefers more. You couldn't mount it on the K frame to avoid needing a second hole in the bottom?
