THE SKID FACTORY - Barra Powered Bedford Van [EP5]

[@Legotruck82]

I think the microphone on the camera you are using is dying. The audio sounds a bit crackly when Al is talking. Very noticable on headphones.

[@stefanboyne1770]

Legotruck82 I just got a new phone and was paranoid it was it

[@thatguyb3rt]

Probably need a new lapel mic, They tend to wear where they plug into the wireless unit.

[@thijsk89]

Have noticed this for a few episodes already as well yeah!

[@mysterymete]

That's just his voice -- plus your shitty phone. Watch it on a computer, instead of a phone. On REAL speakers, it's just fine.

[@thatguyb3rt]

Listening to this on pretty high end headphones so it's not on our end. As I said before it's probably just the lapel mic, They wear out and it's extremely common.

[@DashCamOwnersAustralia]

Twin turbo Gerni build when?

[@PhunkBustA]

this guy xDD

[@NippyMoto]

Dash Cam Owners Australia WTF why are you here ? I thought your demographic was "Car Enthusiasts are hoons ! Can't wait to see what Tracey has in store tonight on ACA" lol

[@celticsoldia]

I think its brilliant that theyre here. The like laughing at idiots that crash their cars and the people watching this actually care about their cars. Perfect match.

[@DrJatzCrackers]

NippyMoto that's the other Australian dashcam KZbin channel you're thinking of.... The one that subtitles the fines under each video. DCOA is the entertaining Aussie dashcam channel.

[@thunderbirdizations]

When vtec gets an upgrade, yo

[@AlmostCrazy263]

I think this is my favorite channel, mainly because of the time taken to explain. And there's a kind of a relaxed professionalism about it. Great.

[@Robert-vp6xf]

The audio anyone else hear a crackle? Also Listen to him kiddos! BE careful with tanks!!!

[@joenotkickass]

Yes i've been trying to tell for them for a few episodes now

[@garybrown4671]

I was gonna make a puberty joke.... But I live reeeeaaly far from Al. And I would feel terrible if he had to come that far to kick my a$$

[@aserta]

It's a compression thing. JunkTube's been playing with this for months now. Frankly, you cannot even be bothered anymore, they clearly want to make KZbin a paying site and fuck the rest of us.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

will this fit in my gerni?

[@Island_Times]

This is 'Straya not Canada :p

[@alialtamimi3317]

DEBOSS GARAGE You don’t need that shit box in your gerni

[@camerongsx9122]

Real Aussies would know we use the yellow and black Karcher's

[@DQ81]

warms my heart to see DeBoss plugged into MCM and vice versa. My two favorite channels anywhere. Cheers guys all of ya'll keep up the good work. Nice headway on the GTO btw Rich! And Al why do you not like the guido? I have a couple different cars that run them, not a ton of power, 2 daily volvo 240 I've fitted turbo's to. Around 200hp. Do you dislike them for weakness or is there something else I"m missing? Cheers!

[@element271]

as someone with dual Canadian and Australian citizenship who owns exclusively british cars,this comment on this video with this car strokes my bedford barra boner

[@silentpact3432]

I just keep picturing the first test drive: Drive train and most of the chassis takes off down the road like a bat out of hell while most of the rest of the van stays behind in a heap of rusty bits. Bloody good series though :)

[@cardesinr]

This van is gonna be sketchy awesome....

[@53glowe]

Disc brakes on all 4 corners...man that's a relief to hear that. 😌

[@WeldinMike27]

Never build more go than stop.

[@53glowe]

WeldinMike27 Absolutely👍

[@jaydunbar7538]

Funny thing is your making the assumption that discs are better, this is a work van not race car. The speed limit is the speed limit regardless of how much power you have, the old brakes would have worked the same as they did with this engine as they did the last.

[@brosk1s883]

Jay Dunbar Al already found the brakes barely worked with the old engine, no way anyone will have any confidence driving this with a much more powerful engine in it.

[@jaydunbar7538]

brosk1s first off they could just be fixed as easily as converted if not easier, disc is typically easier maintenance hence the preference by many. Secondly the engine has nothing to do with the brakes, stopping from 70mph on the highway would require the same braking performance regardless if the van has a 100hp 4 cylinder or 2000hp v8 in it.

[@bcr32]

"You like my hat Al?" "No" so good, so dry!

[@camdavies5530]

Beau Cogle fukin gold aye I laugh my ass off every time Al get's all dark on it like that

[@bcr32]

Cam Davies definitely one of my favourite parts of The Skid Factory

[@TheLuke2reeve]

Beau Cogle hahahah exactly what I was thinking! So blunt and to the point 😂

[@deefa_damo]

Go Dog Go.

[@TheCuttz1984]

Holly shit. How many Matt credits does it cost to pump out a plenum in 2 mins lul.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

"up to about here, which is pretty normal for him" HA HA HA HA HA HA. Nice on Al.

[@CelticSemperTyrannis]

I think you may need a new microphone or Turbo Yoda's voice is so majestic it messes with digital recordings

[@_____7704]

Millsy is now the Skid Factory Villain with Al and Woody as the heroes

[@cherylshmutz4748]

See you tonight woody ;)

[@celticsoldia]

You win the internets.

[@BS.Wickman]

Well I WAS going to go to bed but then I saw Als pretty face and decided bed could wait

[@arronjones6985]

This is by far the best channel on KZbin. It’s the hi lights of my week when I see the new episode on my feed and the Bedford is such a cool outside of the box car. 👍🏻

[@myztichydra]

anyone else getting this buzzing sound when they talk? starting to hear it when they started using the multimeter

[@brianschickling6377]

myztichydra yes

[@delfco12]

It literally started as I read this comment

[@timg555]

Use the 8ball gear knob.

[@iamstd2]

Maybe if you want cancer on your hand

[@timg555]

iamstd2 It will be fine.

[@wraithcadmus]

Yes! It's a sign!

[@skimo61]

"Solder's shit and always cracks thats why I crimp join everything" - Al in a previous video.

[@alanbutler2579]

It's a bulkhead fitting that is already soldered, it cannot be crimped, I simply removed the wires that were pre fitted(it comes with a smaller fuel pump that is not appropriate) and replaced them with the wires for the new pump.

[@skimo61]

Thanks for the reply! Stoked you read the comments.

[@garystinten9339]

Ok.. let me get this right.. You can use a spacer on a transmission.. but you can't use them on a wheel hub? Hrrrm.

[@Wulthrin]

how big is the tank? 1 ohm per gallon?

[@wolfcastle8409]

Ahh, the old 8 ball in the fuel tank mod, it mixes the fuel much like the little ball bearing in a spray paint can does. I could be full of shit though

[@WeldinMike27]

Put a ping pong ball in the tank....its great for making peoples day interesting.

[@MrBrentles]

nac Guinnesssseniug a inni widgettegiw a likeekil offo SorttrlS

[@southjerseysound7340]

WeldinMike27 better yet is shove some steel wool or chore boy up their tailpipe and see what happens lol. But remember the key is not to totally block things ;-)

[@michaelallen2501]

One of the few builds I could give two shits about owning, but I still can't stop watching lol.

[@LivingSpiritDesign]

"cause it's not a silvia" ............ comedy gold hahahaaaa

[@FPSadict1612038]

"I don't want to do a Blair and get my hand stuck in it." Hahaha, that was an epic episode.

[@sloppz.]

Thanks for the vid off to cut my fuel tank.

[@13aceofspades13]

I love the turbo yoda, he is not only a mechanic I wish I was, a genious, but his chill attitude and smooth sarcastic sense of humor makes my day. I am willing to put money in it though, when the yoda gets mad, you better stand back, its always the chill cool guys that go off like a crate of TNT.

[@irishwristwatch2487]

13aceofspades13 rumour is there's a man that wronged Yoda and his ringpiece is now a blow off valve

[@Haywoodjablomie100]

Cut more floor lol, soon the seat rails will be mounted directly to the rocker cover.

[@DaCoder]

That part where Matt came back instantly with the finished part had me in stitches lol.

[@88djdmepfdnkjf94]

use the giant yellow sponge cutoff as a windguard for the mic, and remove whatever tape or crud that's causing the horrible reverb clipping.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

matt does quick work

[@Timmypacks]

Nice guys been looking forward to watching more!

[@finlay230]

when we gonna meet Milsy ???hahaha

[@iansmith5915]

Finlay Macpherson he frequently comments on these vids here on KZbin.

[@dennisneo1608]

He's a fictional character.

[@rubiconned]

I think milsey is going to cop a kick to the dick by the end of the build

[@LobbyDaLobster]

You don't want to!

[@thatguyb3rt]

I once found a ballpoint pen in my old Ford pickups fuel tank, It looked like it had been in there for years.

[@danbob1650]

LMAO using up all my Matt credit up on this van ... great it just feels like I got Woody's disappearing hand trick... really mate I going beat this van too earn all my worth of credit I wasted on this cool van.. Great show bros

[@TomarenaiEraserRain]

Always manages to be my bedtime when these come out lol! Perfect way to end my day, Thank you!

[@CyberDunk2077]

the 8-ball gear shifter knob, in the gas tank! you just know it was some sort of pool trick shot, that went wrong/right!!

[@robmanueb.]

Needs to cap the engine support tubes, keep the rain out. My OCD.

[@TraceyAllen]

robmanueb2 you actually want a place for water to drain out of structural assemblies. Moisture trapped is much much worse than steel that just gets wet.

[@robmanueb.]

They will just get full of dirt and water the way they are now. Cap them and make some drain holes? Pass, I'm no fabricator.

[@phillipward8776]

Al, you need a get away, go camping or catch some fish, you're looking worn out, they call it re-creation for a reason.

[@nickguord1107]

I fucking love skid factory.

[@AsylumHDGaming]

Genuinely worried that the audio crackle was my headphones. I noticed they unclipped before I started watching... Snapped it back into place and then started hearing the crackling... Glad to find that it's not just me who heard that. Thank god.

[@DOZDDMGator]

When are you gonna do a video on your 86 turbo kit?

[@alanbutler2579]

When the turbo kit is actually ready for sale we will do a full series on the evolution of it.

[@HamishBrown3]

That Suzuki is mint! old RMX with a dressup or newer RM complied? Also woody must be the only person north of Byron to own a pair of pants.

[@alanbutler2579]

It's an RMX/RM hybrid. Millsi built it.

[@HamishBrown3]

Very cool. Love the Rm's, one of the best handling bikes i've ever had.

[@svd032]

Using a 6G72 to purge the fuel tank. Was expecting valve stem seal jokes, was not disappointed.

[@crowythebutcher6127]

Al looks like he needs to go to bed...ford

[@knownuser09]

The Audio is really bad this episode.. Mic dying or something. Crackle Crackle.

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

barra Bedford the world, PS thanks turbo yoda for going into the ecu in depth!!!

[@uluwatu6985]

Thank you gents for being educators so much more than entertainers. "Uber for education" is here, and such good-hearted people have created it across the web. Thanks to Yoda & the crew & all the MCM fellows for being bloody hard workers too: literally baptizing metal in human blood and sweat at each devotion. . . .errr . . . "modification". ALSO: For the great music, welding demos (I squint every time!) and for the equally brilliant Kosmo (who can also make ya squint) many thanks. Uluwatu

[@koolkar55]

Love ya work guys. EPIC is probably a good word to describe this procedure.

[@Nipperbibbo]

Clicked SOOO fast. Love this series.

[@joshuaswart3228]

Combs and fake eyeballs that you'd normally fin in a fuel tank??? Eh that's a little weird?? And I've figerd out that when turbo Yoda said, I don't want to do a Blair (with putting hands into the fuel tank), he was meaning Moog!!

[@dannyevertzen3109]

it is, an eightball, that's fully normal ;)

[@southjerseysound7340]

I worked at a shop where they found a set of false teeth in a tank.

[@JD-ub5ic]

6:00 "makes it easy for engineering", so I remember mcm's whole mira debacle with "engineering" and I hadn't even thought of this, do you guys have to do that entire thing for EVERY engine swap you do?? That sounds almost prohibitively difficult/expensive on something like a beat up old van like this, or is it not as difficult if you aren't importing a car? w/e the case is, thank god I live where they couldn't care less what I do. In order to register a car they walk outside and go "yup, whatever VIN you told us is written on it, here's your registration". They wouldn't give me a second look even if my beat up old gasser SUV was spitting black diesel smoke and making turbo noises.

[@krazed0451]

Honda are good for 3 things... Pressure washers, generators and motorcycles ;-) Gerni is a brand... It's a pressure washer, ya QLD pillocks :-P

[@tangles01]

neck minute "Hospitals have been inundated by shrapnel and burns victims"

[@muskyclam5835]

Man I like yjid mate. Ehat inspiration for me to get me ass off the couch. 72 ford e200. W a new carby car crate engine from blueprint. Supposed to be 230hp. My issue been the power steering pump. Man what's the answer mate should I suppose to get the new belt serpent belt kit. Or stay course with the old school v belt. What say you mate? And I'm running 2 12 inch pipes with hooker headers. Sounds good. But a nitch to warn up bub

[@giant_awake9237]

I'm sorry. I heard it a lot of times now and I feel to tell you: The "u" in the word "Schmutz" is pronounced like the "oo" in football. Nevertheless I like all of your show. Thank you very much!! Cheers.

[@SteveRand]

ROFL. Elbows deep! But seriously, without his footage and impromptu interviewing these videos would probably never make it to youtube for us to enjoy =-]

[@andreyandreev7048]

I like these series a lot. Feels like Al needs his own KZbin Show to show/teach us the art of building such a extensive projects. Great presenter, love your skills and thoughts process "Turbo Yoda". P.S.Another team member is great too. Big cheers to people who edit and upload these videos!

[@HulluJanne]

Sounds like Al's mic has metal dust/particles in it or something... I've had a few phone speakers start making that same kind of buzzing after having them in my pocket while grinding. Just a thought.

[@kurauk]

Guys love the show. Al, well he's like the Brian Cox to cars, he makes everything seem simple and easy to understand. Great stuff. My only criticism is the Microphone you guys are using. The mic picks up a rattle especially when someone is speaking.

[@sebastianannesen320]

How do you get the fuel into the surgetank ? i know when its full it will run through the foam. but ones it goes below the rubber ¨surgetankish¨ ?? by the way great show. love that is not at talk show but mechanical show. great job from DENMARK :)

[@bostemaly1348]

Bloody hell mate why didn’t you warn me how dangerous it was to cut up my gas tank I just watched this KZbin video and went for it now I just blew my fucking arm off and have third degree burns all over my body!!!

[@oh8wingman]

If you choose to use carbon monoxide to purge a fuel tank as shown here, you must be sure that the motor supplying the CO does not have a cylinder(s) that is misfiring. There have been incidents where an engine was misfiring that resulted in an explosion when a spark was created while the tank was being worked on. The reason for the explosion was the fact that the misfire was actually pumping an air/fuel mixture into the tank. Another way to render a tank "inert" is to use CO2 provided from a bottle of compressed gas (mig welders use compressed CO2 bottles for shielding gas). The best method of course is to have a professional do any fuel tank related work as stated in the video. They have the proper tools and safety equipment and experience to ensure there are no incidents.

[@josiahjones2838]

This microphone is shot, on multiple audio platforms it's very crackly and sounds like shit, get a new one please!! I thought my brand new pixel 2 had taken a shit aba

[@alycestapleton]

Too funny. I quote FOR TODAY WE HAD ENOUGH !!😂😂😂 sounds about right

[@akaDavidWebb]

Wow.. such a good series! Right up there with Project Binky for entertainment and education value!

[@cjeverydaylife]

Don't Honda's come on I drive a Honda any ways am keeping updated with Barra project and I love the progress

[@christiankirkenes5922]

Only turbo Yoda would have a pressure washer with a Honda Civic motor running it. Very cool Al !

[@southjerseysound7340]

I always wonder if turbo Yoda ever imagined that he'd become automotive icon that he is today from helping Marty back then.

[@alanbrown397]

08:50 - the other method for tanks (and the way I was taught) was to fill them with water when working on 'em. Inerting works but you'd better be sure you have all the fuel absolutely removed in case some oxygen gets in anyway.

[@Renesis97]

I’m a simple man. I see a The Skid Factory episode, I press the Like button before watching it.

[@kgpp2293]

Should have tried to retro fit an eb/ed log style manifold its exactly what you're doing but with runners that have a 90degree bend down pretty much

[@garystinten9339]

They should include a mesh cylinder(s) to hold the sponge in a cylinder shape. With a small collar at the bottom so it's fed up the centre.. when installing.. one for the inside, one for the outside. So it slides over the bottom of the sponge and makes install a bit easier.

[@garystinten9339]

So don't rev the engine for an hour, whilst the fuel tank is being exhausted.. occasionally go have a look and do it away from the house.. Got it.

[@2jzking181]

I love your guys show its great this van was a brain hurting project I bet.$7k for a ticking time bomb says more money then you know what.

[@Jack-tx2ve]

Love this. I put engines in steel boats for a living. Similar amounts of cutting, welding and thinking outside the box.

[@sunjabibahladeen6394]

whats wrong with having the tank explode? i have played with pettie before, just chuck a match in there and purge it with fire before you start? thats what i would do heheh. i have been around enough potato cannons not to be scared of explosions.

[@tvhero1]

Im not hearing a crackle just a uuuummmm every few words, lol ,enjoying the Show keep it up guys

[@bsb0011]

I've noticed that Marty and Moog are having to jump through all kinds of hoops to get their car to pass engineering since it's been modified. Will this van also have to go through engineering?

[@shagsshag149]

That haltech computer is great,but for $2995 🤔keep it!

[@iansmith5915]

How sweet are megasquirts!

[@CaneAtvse]

Loving the fact it's some old crappy van thats known to be dangerous and yet it's like ehhhh fuck it might as well make it full on dangerous and stuff a bigger motor in it

[@vanoscrap6296]

"cut the floor" here, "cut the floor" there... should've gotten rid of that junk part called "floor" from the start guys

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

Great work guys. love watching this kind of work when iam not doing anything my self.. Awesome

[@garageadz]

Engage the safety squints! Probably not the best practice :P

[@elliottlesueur7028]

Maybe the 8 ball was dumped down the filler neck to prevent a siphon tube sliding into the tank? But fell straight in instead of sitting at the bottom of the filler neck.

[@TurboMiniTV]

Honestly modifying fuel tanks isn't "Dangerous" if done using a good smear of common sense. I've modified several, the key is to make sure its TOTALLY flushed out with water before you cut/weld. oh and obviously make sure your welds don't have pin-holes.

[@anzonix]

TBH I subscribed for Moog and Marty behind the scenes footage. Is there a channel for that anymore?

[@rosetank]

does adding the extra inch cause the bellowing inward of the foam? but by not adding the inch doesnt allow it to press hard against the base of the tank for stability/rigidity kinda thing?

[@rm6330]

correct

[@madspikes205]

Great work guys. Good to see even Al not knowing what to do... Proves he is actually human!

[@Muffin_Masher]

I like how you recycled Mechanical Stig's fleshlight by using it as a surge tank :D

[@matthewrossendell6762]

Loved the challenger jokes as I'm an unfortunate pajero owner 2 times over and the newer one uses more oil, fuel and smokes more than the old one, Barra the challenger

[@gixgix457]

Please send me the name of that in tank conversion. I like it. Been looking at surge tanks. It's perfect for what I need. Thanks

[@projekt6_official]

Might want to put some caps/plugs/something over the holes in the front of the cross member where the motor mount tubes go through it - might catch all sorts of crap in it while driving.

[@sirspikey]

Al looked genuinely surprised when he came back with the manifold, or?

[@wkornf]

isn't your 4" stainless pipe in the foam surge cone going to limit your pickup from getting fuel when your low on gas?

[@PatonHaus]

Awesome video, was it just my audio that was a bit crackly?

[@mrfordfairmont]

i hope you are dumping the heat exchanger for the gearbox before you get a milkshake.....
