Turbo Ls vz ss commodore build EP6 Th400 transmission conversion

[@Adam-rt7lp]

Favourite youtube series these days by far. Usually these types of series have part 1 and 2 then the guy goes MIA. Cant wait to see the finished build

[@LatysGarage]

Adam stoked you love the series and I’m committed to sharing the whole build with as much detail as possible so you can certainly look forward to the journey.

[@damos656]

Decent progress this time, only thing i would have done is pre fill the torque convertor before installation. Keen to see it drop a set soon 👌👍

[@LatysGarage]

Damo S pre filling the converter is definitely a good option I failed to have fluid pre organised but it’ll be allright I’ll spend abit more time at prestart stage and get the auto all primed up . Haha RIP poxy looking 19’s

[@briandelaney4886]

Chris Preddice will do mate thanks

[@mrdrifta8755]

good shit man this things gonna be a rig

[@me8u73]

great video mate!!! very informative thats for sure.

[@LatysGarage]

laurent gouriou thanks mate I’m trying to share what I know and hoping it gives people confidence to have a go themselves.

[@me8u73]

@@LatysGarage you do make it look less daunting for such big jobs. Also was wondering are you a mechanic or just love to work on cars? You seem to know everything about them💪💪👌👌

[@shawng7902]

I'm looking at about the same weight with maybe a tiny bit more hp in the end maybe not. I'm at the point of wondering how far I can go before I end up shelling the trans. I've seen 1000hp cars explode the shell, I've seen 600hp cars that dead hook, remove the bell housing themselves. Take the weight and add 900ftlbs of torque with a tight converter it can be hard on parts.. I think I will end up using an ultra bell anyway to start because I have a chevy 400 with a broken ear and I can get B.O.P 400s about half the price of chevy. The more I think about it, that $350 ultra bell may be the best investment ever. Everyone has a good trans, it just has that 1 tab broken off priced like its junk because no one wants it lol. Plus the added benefit of that 1 extra bell housing bolt on an LSX you lose. Good video and ill definitely keep an eye on your build

[@clint.garage.6092]

I have got myself a th400 and started reading and learning how to build it , probably trans brake etc, hoping I can find someone to do a converter here in NZ, but if not I will call your people and see if they will ship one. Hope alls well with you and yours bro. #olgo2channel

[@smokey210210]

How did you connect the kick down switch

[@shawng7902]

never thought about the hallow cranks lmao you know somewhere that someone has hooked a 20v cordless grease gun to one and sent it!!! I don't understand that tube must have been empty, ill grab a full grease tube and try again. Meanwhile, their crank picked up an extra 170oz of internal balance lol

[@braedo103]

Loves the build vids latty, any chance of a oil catch cab instalation vid? Cheers

[@LatysGarage]

Braedo vz ss ute 425hp yeah mate oil catch can will be coming up in the future on the ss

[@Icecream_Unicorns]

Mate, Great job glad i came across your vid and Sub as well!! keep up the great work

[@kylemudd98]

Very keen to see your next vid when will u be uploading it. Ive been rewatching the build from the start haha

[@LatysGarage]

Ive got the next episode 80% filmed and edited just waiting on my tailshaft and diff to be finished so I can install them . I’m stoked you like the vids that much you rewatch them haha there is another build with 15 or so episodes on my turbo ls1 vy one tonner if you wanna check that out just go to my you tube home page and look in playlists you can’t miss it .

[@nccbowey]

I know this an old video bud but I’m doing a th400 in my Vt do you have any info on the speed sensor you used I would like to do the same

[@454bigblock]

Hi did you have to machine change anything with your drive shaft?

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Mate I was a aircraft mechanic usmc they make a toque spanner but they ain't cheap

[@randalljames1]

well that would be a rude awakening... "Did you get the bushing out of that crank?" "No and it ate my entire sandwich"

[@LatysGarage]

Yes bushing was removed . Converter would not pull up to flex plate if bushing was still installed it would of fouled on the nose of the converter . As for sandwich comment not sure if that’s humor but ok .

[@jsamudio11]

What fittings are in the turbo 400? Can you send the link?

[@blakebrewtnall1152]

Hey m8 got a turbo 350 just with stage 3 shift kit atm am planning to turbo my ls1 in the future it’s all in a vc commodore gunna do a sloppy style build 78/75 you know the rest anyway if I get the 350 built are they up to the task of taking 500 rw up to maybe 700

[@LatysGarage]

Blake Brewtnall haha you talk about a sloppy 78/75 build have you checked my turbo tonner build on my channel ? As for the built th350 at 500wheel it’ll probably live for a while but 700wheel I think will push it. If you haven’t built it yet I’d just get a th400 that needs a rebuild and start from there . Another option would be a power glide with the vc being nice and light the glides work very well also.

[@blakebrewtnall1152]

Yeah m8 certainly have seen the turbo toner build watched all your vids have asked questions about it before yep I thought that would probably rather a 400 than a glide cause it will see lots of cruising aswell as dragging look forward to the next vid m8 👍

[@me8u73]

Got an unrelated question for ya. Hope you can help. Finally found where my water leak is and ends up being the left head rear welsh plug. Absolutely pissing out now. What you think is the best way to replace? Just take head off or you think I can get to the welsh plug from dropping the auto? Thanks in advance.

[@LatysGarage]

laurent gouriou l can’t tell you for sure if removing the auto and letting the engine lay back as far as possible will give you enough room to access the welsh plug . I do think there is a high chance you could get it done and it would be a lot cheaper than removing your head . Your engine has been very hot a few times now I’d be reluctant to remove the head and simply reinstall without getting the head resurfaced and possibly a new head gasket . Intake manifold gaskets, rocker cover gaskets , and exhaust manifold gaskets could all be reused as long as no damage upon inspection the head bolts could also be reused . Pulling the 4l60e/65e out from under the car is still a massive job especially for someone who has never done it I’ll give you a couple handy tips - leave the transmission yolk in trans and zip tie back so it doesn’t fall out and pour fluid everywhere. - leave converter on trans so fluid doesn’t pour everywhere. - be sure to have lots of or really long socket extensions so you can undo the upper bellhousing bolts from way back towards the back of the trans . - don’t forget all the little things like shifter linkage , dipstick , wire loom , transcooler lines Good luck mate be sure to let us know how you go

[@me8u73]

@@LatysGarage thanks for your help mate. very much appreciated. not sure where to go from here. I've done a dodgy repair for now and see how that goes. just shits me having to either pull the head or auto for a $5 welsh plug.

[@Kratedigga1]

Grouse video, Cheers

[@smokey210210]

How did you hook up the kick down cable

[@LatysGarage]

No kick down mate it’s has a manual valve body

[@tommy9900]

nice video .

[@peterbrady2165]

Where's the plate between the motor and transmission. Don't they use one on VZ's. hope the lack of plate is allowed for in either the flex plate or convertor design.

[@LatysGarage]

Peter Brady you might be confused with adaptor plates . There is no need for adaptor plates on ls engines .

[@PsiGodracing]

Late upload this 1 mate

[@LatysGarage]

CYA 747 HSV it takes about 1hour to upload in 720p so I would of been sleeping when it finally finished.
