I love the increase in performance that this old work horse is producing, I look forward every week for updates on the trolvo. As for the Torana, reuse the old V6 out of the VN as that would be a great option also keeping it all Holden as I will enjoy seeing the modern engine( well compared to the Old Torana) can produce as the Torana is such a light car compared to the VN so power to weight distribution would only enhance the car. Great work on Trolvo brother

[@lukeya1983]

Massive power

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

495 killerwasps are nothing to sneeze at. Well done Scotty. I'm hoping you learned a lesson about closing the plug gap over feeding it more spark. Can't wait for the next video. What is more exciting is that the power is constant, not a one off dyno peak figure, that is a genuine 495.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Sometimes you have to do it

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@STREETMACHINETV true, but it should only be considered a temporary fix. If you are closing the gap to stop the boost blowing it out, that is a sure sign you need a stronger spark. As the dyno told you in spades, without enough spark you can't light all of the fuel, and the power suffers.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I traveled a long way to go to that little car show on the last weekend I was a little Disappointed that you and the trolvo were not there Well I didn’t see you It was a very good show 👍👍 May not be 500 but pretty close really I’d be happy with that

[@TinShed]

good to see scotty! was it a simple setting in the haltech for an external map?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Essentially yes, but need a little calibration by selecting the right sensor, which I didn't do

[@terjejohnsen3651]

I hope it will perform same at the track as at the Dyno but im afrid thats hope as the air temp and wind etc can play a large role on power but fingers crossed for the weekend.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We're very happy with the result

[@bobroberts2371]

I'd be looking at the accessory belt alignment / tensioner strength, flat belts don't usually flip over. I'd even be inclined to make a tensioner limiter in case it is bouncing at high RPM / vibration.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I probably tagged the limiter in the burnout and it bounced, it was an old belt. We just did seven passes the other day and the belt stayed on just fine. It was just a one time thing.

[@leightonB69]

Go the trolvo

[@nathanpeachs2704]

Yes❤ 😁🇭🇲

[@CDN296]

660 plus out of a 1.5 j is great numbers

[@howey1975]

Not sure about your comment re: lining up cams doesn't guarantee crank is lined up. Unless it had jumped teeth, it absolutely guarantees the crank lines up. I think you may have been thinking about the opposite scenario. Lining the crank up can have the cams in 1 of 2 positions, but lining up cams always has crank at the right spot.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yes, true.

[@rolandocantero4044]

greetings, what gasoline was used for those numbers ?

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

By going from a 3 bar internal map sensor to an external 5 bar map sensor you have changed the resolution of the sensor map. So while you would think PSI is PSI, it is possible there might be a slight tuning discrepancy. Curious as to why you didn't go for aa 4 bar to get better accuracy.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Just using what's available

[@Dvkmunter]

Bit late for this comment but if you use the 2jz lower timing cover it will get rid of the gap between the upper and lower

[@Beer_Dad1975]

I'd call it 500rwkw and claim the dyno was reading low! 😀

[@martingidaszewski7342]

Scotty I know the plan for the Trolvo is to eventually sell it but are you planning on installing any additional safety devices like a race seat and/or some kind of a spec cage given it’s making half a mega watt now?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Nah, all that costs money and the bosses have asked that I move on to other projects

[@shaunhinton3691]

What did you use for lubricant on the vee seal rubber on the crank seal ?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

No lube required, other than Vaseline when we assembled the engine

[@link6sick6]

You are so lucky Scotty, Ive been chasing a surging/misfire problem for months, spent over a thousand replacing gaskets, sensors, throttle body, TPS, IACV, and hiring an auto electrician to check wiring. Turns out to be the same issue with crank trigger, it all started with a clutch start at 40kms that threw the drivebelt off too. I am doing the same job this weekend provided golebys send the new billet trigger wheel in time. Kudos to Knight Family Motorsport for putting me in the right direction. Also mine has a vvti crank trigger wheel (36-2), apparently it provides more timing accuracy. Question, did you have to time the engine again and change the trigger offset angle in the ecu afterwards?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Nope we just fitted the new tigger wheel/pulley, put the new belt on (obviously making sure everything was lined up) and hit the key

[@link6sick6]

@@STREETMACHINETV Thank goodness!

[@7071t6]

Quick Question Scotty, mate does it matter how you put the harmonic balancer back on, meaning is there any areas which are of a concern, especially if the crank does not have a keyway on it, also if the car is a stock one as well, not a heavy duty or race type balancer etc?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I haven't had much to do with non keyway balancers. But I'd just put some antisieze on it, and tighten to spec

[@7071t6]

@@STREETMACHINETV thanks just wondering that's all, especially aftermarket balancers & does it matter how they go on, i.e is there a spot on the balancer which needs to be pointing to TDC or it does not matter?

[@ChristopherHallett]

Well, from 650 to 660, I guess there's something else holding the engine back besides how much boost you can pump into it?
