Carnage - Supermang Upgrades For The Holden Nationals

With the Holden Nationals fast approaching we are trying to have Supermang ready in time. The plan is to have the new intercooler in along with diff gears and an LSD centre. A couple old mates show up to give me a hand.

Hi Scott,please thank your mate for his service to the country from me,you 2 are bloody legends,keep up the awesome work.

I'm no expert, but the few dozen ex-servicemen and women I know would cringe HARD if you said that Seppo bullshit to them.

Awesome seeing Benny on! Is it worth bashing 3 or 4 100mm holes behind the numberplate so when your at the track you can just remove the plate and help with air flow to the heat exchanger?

[@HARDMETALTV]

Good call!

[@deliveredconcepts]

Hey Scotty, I've learned a sh!t load about W2A Intercoolers from Department Of Boost in the states. You could nearly double the efficiency by going a bigger pump, lines and heat exchanger. 19mm lines is just not big enough. Flick me a message as I'm happy to share what I've learned to help keep IAT down so low as possible without the need for ice.

[@chaseattenborough6483]

Vn’s don’t come with rear brakes

[@jiematene9996]

Scotty's you can all ways put some spaces on the bonnet hinges that way it let's hot air out and gives that tinny bit of gap needed

[@kevingiled6522]

I think you guys should add water meth injection to help keep intake temperature down

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Water/meth is always a band aid solution. I tried it multiple times and the result is always meh

[@alexdametto9285]

Would love to see the difference the diff upgrades make I’m about to put 3.45’s and a truetrac in my vs commie

[@MrMattytempzz]

3.45s in an auto or manual vs?

[@brianholcomb6499]

Poor Scotty is going to have a hard time keeping up with a military man 😂😂😂😂! You guys are a magazine? Why are you constantly teaching people to do things the hardest way possible? A diff shop W/O a lift, really? It’s easier to learn how to change the GD gears ⚙️ than to pull the whole fing car apart! Maybe if your trying to do everything on a budget, like most everyone has too! Either get a shop guy to stop by after hours & actually teach you guys how to do it right? It’s not that hard, & will most likely bring the guy who shows up more work than he could handle! How about actually doing a car that everyone could actually get regular parts for, not specific one off garbage that’s expensive & not easy to get, with big horsepower & could do almost anything, like the Mazda did when first built, except with heat & a/c, so it could actually be driven by anyone in almost any weather! Like a car is supposed to do! Instead of just being hard parked in the garage 🙄🙄🙄🙄! Or how about getting that little green car running properly? Maybe freshen up the engine so it doesn’t explode & making it run fast & have heat & a/c so it could actually be driven! Nothing worse than having something that has a shit ton of money in it, & it sits gathering dust & parts!

[@jenibond]

You and Benny ! Are Laurel and Hardy with beads !!! LOL

[@paulcoote3094]

Well that was an awesome video. Perfect balance of real progress, challenges and information. Great sense of humour as well. Really enjoyed it.

[@ChristopherHallett]

Look at those tables just COVERED in parts - you need to spend a weekend knocking up some build tables - rolling shelving units that hold all the bits from a car whilst it's being improved, that can move around with said car so you're not trudging across the workshop 1000 times to get the bits which somehow are always on the opposite side of the place...

[@karamveerkang8655]

Scotty, In the future I reckon you should help me do a rebuild on my stock L67. For my 2004 VY Series 2 Calais.

[@ceffydriver]

Ugh! air to water to air intercooling! Nothing like having two heat exchangers and four tiers of heat to worry about! Probably better off just using that blue 47.3 litre coleman cooler you have there and drill a couple of holes in it, run a copper loop and then fill it with 2 bags of ice and water to feed the intercooler. that will obviously drop your inlet temps better than anything else but I guess why stop at that and just run a dry ice can right?

[@paulhowells6593]

Sounds like women's tennis under here will be all I think of now as grunt and groan through the rest of my Ute's rebuild. Classic Aussie workshop humour.

[@hudsonsled454]

Well Ben seems like a top Bloke, gotta get him into the kt26's 👌

Surely he wore them for years already as an AJ, and has moved on?

Make sure you seal inbetween the sandwich plates. Not a fan of those style.

[@7071t6]

Mate check that all the vacuum lines are on, maybe one line is not on properly, if not Scotty mate i was going to say you going to have to seal up the cooler, because its made out of a composited material to take the heat and its got no channel for a gasket, still well done buddy i hope she stays cool and more power as well. keep up the great work buddy cant wait till you send it and she does 11's. :)

Nearly there Scotty. Well you will be an expert on removing the supercharger on those L67 bloody air leaks never mind .🇦🇺👍👍

[@john-davidcairns1615]

Why are you using a hammer and vice when hare and Forbes sent you a flat bar bender

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Because I lent it to someone

[@deankdx]

has RYOBI made a jump pack that accepts a drill battery (or 2) yet? if not, how good would that be!

[@dragpix]

I did the math once with some milwaukee batteries, they top out roughly at 60A with the m18 stuff (best case) so you would need roughly 6 batteries in parallel to safely use it as a jump pack with enough overhead to avoid melting stuff with the inrush current. That said I have 3d printed adapters to go on their batteries and connect a buck converter which is basically dc to dc converter, i.e 18v in 14v out to top up a car battery. Works great for that.

[@deankdx]

@@dragpix surely those jump packs don't put out much in the way of Amps? they only have an alarm back up battery in them(albeit sealed lead acid) with wires less than what an amplifier for a subwoofer uses.

[@jrbuch]

Very skillful there with the vasoline Scotty, you look like you've had some experience. Jokes aside, good job with the VN, coming together nicely.

[@victorfu5979]

I can see the turbo taxi in the back but don’t see you working on it could it be next episode ?

[@kennethsmith3260]

Hey Scotty, another great video. I'm a big fan of the L67, I can't wait to see some decent times. I'm glad you put some gears in the diff, that will make a difference. it's a bit disheartening having to pull it all apart to seal the vacuum leak. love your work, keep em coming.

-sees the number in the windscreen- Scotty! Mate! Did you get to the 'Great Wall of Heathcote' event after all!? I was there on the Saturday only unfortunately, so if you showed on the Sunday... But yeah! I had great fun running "Baby" (my VX Berlina series 2 v6) down the strip. Did 8 passes for an average of ~16.46 and a best of 16.131 (@85.14mph). Not bad for an ectoech powered machine with no mods more advanced than a CAI! She smoked up both on the line too - so I can confirm she got the optional factory LSD! ~JD

@@STREETMACHINETV disconnecting one of the leads off the batteries on My cars has had them still be fine 6 months later(down a bit but good enough to crank again)

[@ChristopherHallett]

@@deankdx Yeah as long as the battery is healthy and clean (important! keep the top of the battery clean so you don't get trickle discharge across the terminals from dust trails, especially in a workshop with metal grinding going on) you can just leave the leads off a lead acid battery and it will hold charge for a year at least.

[@michaelb5330]

All the excitement happens here on your channel Awsum stuff

[@Brock_Landers]

Scotty, you know that I watch every video and I have alot of respect and love for the content and your abilities, but if this car doesn't live up to expectations you have to ask yourself, at what point is it turbo time? The L67 is an AWESOME platform, but the M90 can only do SO much before it becomes redundant. Richard Holdener just did a turbo vs supercharger comparison on one and the turbo obviously came out on top. I'm not trying to say that the supercharger isn't cool and isn't interesting, I'm just saying that a turbo with a NA 3800 intake manifold would make WAY more power and turn this Holden into an absolute rocket.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Originally the plan was to go turbo straight away but a lot of people wanted to see supercharger mods so we dec died to have a play with that. Don't worry it'll get a turbo down the track.

[@kierenalvarez]

Is it just me or did you mount that heat exchanger in the area which gets the least amount of air flow? Looked like it from the camera angles. Still it's better than out the bonnet with collapsed joiners. 😂 That was car comedy gold mate!

Still plenty of airflow there
