This car should be called hokey pokey , you put the engine in you pull the engine out put the engine in you pull the engine out you do the Hokey Pokey and you shake it all about hahah
Scotty, Take it from me as a rear mount LS guru of 15 years. Its the size of your line. Use 10AN return or more. You need the turbo drain to gravity feed into a container, with a breather & then connect the pump to the other end of the container and then pull the oil out of the container with the scav pump back into the engine. (sump or valve cover)
We have a -10 return now. Adam will, take a look take our line system and let me know if we need to create a drain "sump". He seems to thing we should be right now, but he hasn't seen it with his own eyes yet.
I'm with you Steven, I was actually hoping to see a couple of larger fittings going into the sump. What I have been looking for is a place to stick an oil reservoir. What I would like to see is the oil pumped back to a reservoir with a good capacity, and have it feed back to the sump under gravity (hence bigger / more fittings). Having a place to store the oil before it returns to the sump would be helpful in varying oil pressure / volume situations. Those seals do not like to have any oil pressure whatsoever (and probably equally don't like to be sucked on either) a reservoir with a breather up high so the system is not pressurized would be the safest way to go. Also I don't like the idea of squirting the oil back into the sump. My concern is frothing the oil right before it gets sucked back up again. No one wants an oil / air mix in the oil pump.
Last episode, the engine was running 😮 Oh well, some times you have to go backwards to move forward, but in times of trouble, there’s always mister grabby 😂
I don’t believe you want that scavenge pump pulling vac against the turbos, the turbo’s should drain into a “catch can” sort of setup with a breather. With no breather between the scavenge pump and the turbo you will be pulling excess oil through the turbo bearings and filling it up, also pulling against the seals.
I love that Diff set up Scotty, this build should be 'Bullet Proof' and then some. You sure no your stuff Sir. Patiently waiting for the next episode 'NO PRESSURE' 😉.
That rear end setup is a work of art! Re the turbo setup, when I low mount turbo-d my 345 International Scout, I needed to build a small 'sump' and breather for it to drain effectively. Otherwise it would smoke on start up if left parked for a while. Speaking of scavenging, have you seen the setup on the late 80's Callaway Corvette's with their low mount twin turbo's? They come up with a very clever scavenge pump! It was a geo-rotor style oil pump housed inside/mounted to the serpentine belt tensioner on the main belt drive. Nice to have a purely mechanical solution imo but the electric pumps work fine.
Yep Teflon tape is 1980s tech, even my old man is a really old school plumber is using Teflon paste now.. I know for a fact.. Caterpillar earthmoving, John Deere, Case tractors, all void a warranty if any Teflon tape is found anywhere.. I warn every farmer to only use Teflon tape on air hoses and irrigation pipes
Good stuff Scotty , my first thought last epp was that your turbo drain lines were too big , don't factory cars use like brake line ? Also maybe a restrictor in the feed . Love your work mate .
I wouldn't complain about 2hrs to pull the donk, I took my SsangYong ute into Bendigo for a new single rear shock and that's how long it took them to replace it! I shit you not 😮
Did you consider supporting the engine from above and removing the K member and rack to make space to remove the sump , My sump comes out from bellow the car. Pumps push fluid better than they such. It's odd that it failured at idle , is there something else going on
Love the work as always Scotty! Really enjoying seeing the Ute come along...can't wait to see how it'll go on the Dyno and also for you to properly drive it. Keep up the great work!!
Dammit, I read the comments and my questions were asked and answered. So, yeah, it's been cold AF hey Scotty! Ummm, nice shafts! Oh yeah, you can plug that sensor in and blow some air up its butthole using some hose and see on the software or dash if it registers anything. 🙃
You know the finish line is in sight when clever words are used. Words for the day - per se Looking forward to the last workshop video with the last quality control check over before all hell is unleashed.
Given how many times you've pulled the engine, and filmed it, it's fair to say that we all know how to do it now, in case you ever need a hand ha ha. Itching to see this on the strip. Also, how many wheel weights are on that front passenger side, a kilo?
@@STREETMACHINETV fair assumption to make to be honest. I had similar issue with fuel, return was same size as feed and couldn't keep up when I changed carby for a short time so the reg couldn't bleed off pressure. Fixed it by going EFI again 🤣
Bugger about the oil leaks Scott buuuut last thing you wanna do is oil down a lane at the drags plus yeah.... fresh build teething so you did the right thing :-)
If not for the adapter leak you could have tried modifying the valley plate by drilling a line of holes and welding a large tube along the top to give maximum flow and dispersion
The finish line is in sight!! And how good's Matt, turning up early so that we got to see a bit more than we otherwise would have - there's someone who actually gives a stuff about his job. Legend.
No hate but I think oil pressure to the turbo will be too high and blow past the seals regardless of drainage line size, but all in all fantastic episode and can’t wait to see this thing rip!! Thankyou Scotty and everyone
Get out of my head. At least four times you said something immediately after I thought it. Side note on those axles... a small thread (M8?) in the end might have been a smart idea. If you have to tap them in, how do you get them back out with nothing to grab on? Can you safely use the circlip groove to remove them? Might need to thing about making a removal tool before you need it.
They have a thread in end, you might not have noticed, and I've already made an attachment for my slide hammer to remove them. All tested and verified.
@@STREETMACHINETV sweet! No I didn't see the thread. My eyesight is not what it once was. I thought that was a centre hole from when the axle was machined.
