Welcome back to the Radial Runabout build series!
Our buddy Liam has dropped in for us his VP Commodore ute, and Kurt has a BUNCH of fabrication work to do on this beast...
Well, the fun and games continue on this Turbo LS Commodore ute and we're on the home stretch! All that's left is to mount the B&M Transcooler, modify the steering rack position to clear the starter motor, and put it all back together!
This is an SBE LS2 6.0L V8 with a Borgwarner 80mm T6 turbo. Will be backed by a Reid case Powerglide and hopefully go ~850rwhp. Stoked to have it back together and ready for its next stage of plumbing and wiring.
Check out the video! And leave us a comment with your feedback.

@builtbyjuz4419 3 года назад

Nice work guys 👌 ute is looking killer, I did the same with the steering rack on my vc and hasn't given me any issues, nothing wrong with more turbo ls content lol but I might be biased haha

@TorqHub 3 года назад

Cheers Juz! Hopefully the rack mods work out well, steering feels a touch firm right now but a new reco rack and plumbed astra pump will tell how well it has worked out in the end. And you're not wrong about ls stuff, we love a good turbo ls combo, your cars are great examples of that! But we definitely like atleast a small amount of variety when it comes to engine combos and vehicle makes and models. I had to laugh when watching your wagon just kick the tyres at any speed in your latest video. Ridiculous! Thanks for watching a always mate.

@drewdamon3138 3 года назад

Can’t wait for both u lads to get on with ur 5 litre builds I’ve got abit done on my other cars since ur last video it’s nearly time for me to drag my wagon build out n start on that u lads have been a hell of a inspiration to just get on with it and get it done if I ever over west would love to catch up with u lads n have a few 🍻

@TorqHub 3 года назад

G'day Drew! Thanks for the kind words mate! It's very rewarding for us to hear that our videos are helping you find some motivation to get back into your projects. That's awesome. We're always keen to catch up and talk with like minded car guys so if you're ever over this way for an event and you see us around be sure to come say g'day! Thanks for watching mate and Goodluck with the projects!

@TorqHub 3 года назад

Hey Fiano, have followed your posts on Facebook, so cool to see a beloved VR over there in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Turbo 5.3 will be a great fit for it over there, heaps of parts and support, and I bet she gathers a hell of alot of attention

@RBFR01 Год назад

I feel like you guys need some sort of powder coating/ alu anodizing thing to make the alu brackets black and look professional?

@TorqHub Год назад

Yeah, we can agree with that mate. This car still remains unfinished at this point and its something to look into doing at a later date when other parts of the build are finished. Thanks mate

@erikahorder7900 3 года назад

I moved my rack down 35mm an cleared standard starter

@TorqHub 3 года назад

I never thought of moving the rack down. Great idea, I know there can be potential for issues with bump steer when moving too far out of the designed geometry range up or downwards. I'll keep that in mind in case I ever have to look at that job again. Cheers mate.

@juddschofield5584 3 года назад

When moving rack down any issues steering shaft ?

@rbwheeler 3 года назад

Can you tell me what you have done to even out the steering lock after moving the rack across please. I have this issue atm with my VN having near on drift lock to the left and only getting about 3/4 or the standard lock to the right. Cheers Steve

@TorqHub 3 года назад

Hey Steve. So on the passenger side the rack will use a longer VT rack end, and the drivers side rack end shortened to suit. Make sure your rack is in a neutral (straight) position when the intermediate shaft is reinstalled.

@rbwheeler 3 года назад

@@TorqHub thanks guys appreciate the fast response. I'll look in to it cheers

@stevecurtis5321 3 года назад

are you going to open up the bumper at all...air flow?

@TorqHub 3 года назад

Nah we're not looking at opening up the air dam in the bumper at this stage mate. It's a really nice cooler with good efficiency so we'll see how it holds up. No doubt more air flow would certainly help drop the intake air temp more than the current sleeper/hidden fitment though that's for sure.

@DeejayManii 3 года назад

how do you stop rubber hitting/getting into the cooler under the car when doing a burnout?

@TorqHub 3 года назад

The mufflers that will sit either side once the exhaust is completed in phase 2 will cop the majority of debris

@Trifiveguy 3 года назад

Hey mate got another question what did u guys end up doing with the rack tie rods when u moved it that 20 mm ? Did You rethread the short one and replace the longer side ? TIA

@TorqHub 3 года назад

From memory we ended up leaving the factory rack end in the short side(we didn't cut more threadinto it) and replacing the longer side with a rack end from a vt-vz commodore. It hasn't had a wheel alignment yet though so could be subject to slight change. Vt rack end is 329mm long with rack thread being m14x1.5 and rod end being m16x2. Cheers mate

Hey torq hub media can you explain why the bell icon can't be clicked...? is it because of the channel name...? (not finding out about new vids until about a day later😡)

@andrewalexander3294 3 года назад

Bell icon working for me might be your phone or laptop??

@TorqHub 3 года назад

That sounds really odd. No idea why that would be, must be a problem on RU-vid's end, or maybe your app needs updating if you're using a phone/tablet? Hopefully you can get to the bottom of it mate!
