HQ Holden LS1 at the Drags! 4K
Переглядів 5057 місяців тому
So this was my first trip to The Bend dragway in the HQ, wasn't sure what to expect but ended up with a time that I'm pretty happy with. Ran the car in full street trim, tyres, exhaust etc. only change was to drop the tyre pressure a little, didn't help by the end of the night. No commentary in this one, I had a prep video i was going to include but it didn't turn out. Thanks to a couple of mat...
Using the White Bread method to remove a spigot bearing
Переглядів 2,4 тис.11 місяців тому
This is the old school technique to remove a spigot bearing if you don’t have the correct tool. Bit of bread, bolt the same diameter as the spigot shaft and a hammer.

Installing a custom Catch can on the LS swapped HQ Holden, OE 8mm breather lines didn't let the air slow down enough to seperate the oil so I'm doing a custom install with some AN-10 lines and weld in bungs.

After last weeks roll racing and barely being able to see out the back of the track I ordered a set of Stedi LED Homage 7.5” replacement lights. Install was quick and painless and the light output is great.

Hq Holden LS1 on the dyno
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 роки тому
Finally put together a small video of my day at morpowa’s dyno. Had an o2 sensor issue which took some time to resolve, dead on arrival sensor 😩 but ended up making some good runs and coming out with 316kw on the hubs. Everything, engine , trans and diff are new so it may increase when it all frees up a little. Should make for a fun street car . LS1 out to 402" Bullet cnc 241 heads Crane Cam 14...

Can i edit and do my own themes on it??
Did you run the stock stall with this cam?
Wish they made a 5 3/4 for those of us with twin headlights, otherwise looks mint mate!
Hey mate thanks for the content. Whats your thoughts on the rodshop diff? Good for the price? Tough?
The centre pinion bearing failed, housing was warped from the welds on it, all the suspension bushes have had to be replaced already. So in short no would not buy again.
Great thanks for the advice. Appreciate it. Cheers
Wiw, couldn't believe it when the dash lit up! Looks great. Well done mate.
Larger throttle body does nothing dont waste your time peeps.
Hi, do you need to drop the tank in the hq to get to the fuel sender unit?
The original Hq one no, it’s a bit tight but can get to it above the diff. Mind you the tank comes out very easily so I would definitely recommend taking it out if you’re doing any work on it.
Dose the ve sender have clearance between the floor and tank or dose the tank need to be dropped
@joeleonello1526 it does need some clearance, some people cut the floor and put a small box in the boot, I spaced the front of my tank down to give the clearance.
Auto meter did send me an email with the file but watching the video made it easy for me to download and update the system now my c10 has the 4th display thanks a lot
Imagine being able to replace the headlights without taking the whole front end off ..... yes VE I am looking at you. Those Stedi's look great to me on the HQ
Top job mate. 👍 What's the grill badge from.
Thanks, It was a custom one from walmat design, youtube.com/@mattwalker6314?feature=shared
thank you for making this video. very informative.
This shop that has no grease?
This isn’t a shop, just our home garage. Plenty of grease mate, grease is a messy method and the cost is way higher than one slice of bread! Thanks for the comment.
nice one.
Next use whole grain. The extra fiber helps free the bearing loose.
If you use seeded brown bread it goes faster.
Fuck all the negative commenters. I’ve seen the bits of rag in grease method, but bread is something new to learn. Another tool in the brain box can’t hurt
I used paper towel and grease to do the same job earlier this year.
Would've been much faster if he hit it with his purse.
Show us yours mate, he’s never done this before and 6m total to do something totally out of his league is pretty good.
Another wasted 6 minutes
No worries, I’ll make sure I let you know next time I share an old trick for getting stuff done.
Been using grease for 35 years, no point reinventing the wheel.
It does work but needs a tighter tolerance between the bolt your hitting and the bearing, bread or play dough is much more forgiving on the gaps. But if it works mate go with what you know
Grease works well an old fitter trick
Bread really.? You can just use some old rags lying around. Everybody has rags and just wet pieces and punch them in there one by one until bearing comes out
Someone tried to show me the rag method years ago, didn’t work then either
Use a bearing puller you dummy
Awesome, thanks for teaching me something
Nice. Which strip was this at
The bend Dragway , Tailem bend SA
Well done mate, Such a classic. Thanks also for little to no annoying background music, Cheers..
Looks good. Just to clarify, the sealed beams are not halogens as described when you were driving along
The heater rubber grommets go on the cover first before you fit the cover to the firewall, way easier fitment 👍
Hi mate, I'll looking at buying these. What model are they pls cheers Troy
Just from stedi mate, www.stedi.com.au/stedi-7-inch-homage-led-headlight-pair.html

Wht type of modifications to the ecu on a 2001 Acura cl would be made to gt the correct speed? Everything else works
Absolutely beautiful car amazing job mate credit to you
Hello, I have a 2004 ford ranger truck, can it be installed in my truck? It's universal? greetings from Argentina🎉
Nothing average about that HQ
I did my ls swap on my Obs but I can’t get my speedometer to work I bought the auto meter 7006 any help..thanks
Would depend if you were getting the signal for your Speedo from the ecu or direct from the trans. I’m getting the signal from the ecu but had to put a different speed sender in the t400 to make the LS ecu happy
@@The-Average-Guy. ooh ok thanks man
do these fenders on these cars concave in a bit you know like the rear of a 1976 ford torino on how it concaves in i was just wondering?
Are you running a factory ls1 ecu ?
Yes, out of a VX commodore.
Sweet cheers mate doing a ls1 into a vh and want to run this dash just wasn’t sure if you could run the standard ecu

Is it a real hq ss Holden 1972
Just a tribute, my take on an ss
Seems to be a lot of diy led convos around , th3 fcuks that fit em thems3lves need to no about ADJUSTING THE CUNEXT TUESDAYS,!
Speaking as a YANK, that's a good project car. But I rather put a V-8 in it, instead of that V-6. It's going to be a very good car once you're finished with it. Good luck. 👍 Greetings from the U.S.
By the way, save that inline six banger. It will make a great engine for a generator, if you have any power outages.
How you get updates
clean car. might see you driving it if you live adl
I Try to get out on the smasa cruises if you follow them
The worst thing that people do is remove bolts and nuts and through them in a bucket and when it comes time to reassemble don`t know what is what, so I always tell my apprentices to either put the items in a bag and label them eg: left front guard, tail shaft. Or refit the bolts / nuts back onto the piece removed. this make it a lot easier to reassemble, also there are also different length bolts to contend with, so notice what you take out. Cheers and good luck love to see the finish.
I might get one for my 72 dart that price tho is a little terrifying, but it looks to be pretty damn good.
Luckily I got mine when the Aussie dollar was a little stronger, almost twice the price now 😞
Honestly for the price it's still a great deal to have this type of technology for a older car like a Mopar a body. Looking at one for my duster.
Amazing. So much work, real labour of love 🙂 Great colour and strips/badging too, very very cool!
Hay.... Nice HQ!.... & I have to say the stedi head light kit really suit the car, personally I think it gives it a modern look. I'm looking into the same idea with my VC valiant utility as it has the old school seal beams & of course there terrible.... Regards....rob.
