That intro though😂👌🏼👍🏼 “Catch is, I didn’t name myself Turbo Yoda”
Yeah, cracked me up, especially when he swept away the turbo boxes.
Love the way Higher-than-atmospheric-pressure Yoda tries to look nonchalant while the car's on the dyno.
Al's delivery on camera has come a long way, total professional. Great job guys!
Awesome vid guys. To all international watchers. A servo is a service station.
You need a joke shirt too, "The Skid Factory", and it's a roll of toilet paper hanging on a dispenser, with only the last sheet and a ripped end.
EFormance Engineering , or Skid factory underwear.
Shut up and take my money!!!
Ron Harrop is a living legend. I'm sure he's forgotten more more than most of us could ever hope to know. 🙏
Turbo Yoda and Woody - brilliant combination. 10yr MCM fan here - introduced to Alan on the Supergramps and Stagea builds. So pleased that you've got your own channel now. Best thing on the internet...
Thumbs up for Wendy taking the time to get her legs shaved.
I just love you dimple dies. The first set I had were made out of Oak, wood that was flame treated. Turned both die halves in the lathe, then flame burned the shapes, light sanding then some oil to preserve the wood and allow some slipping when forming the sheet metal.
Keep showing us the right way to modify our cars the right way.
That state Al couldn't think of is OREGON! When I first started watching MCM with Turbo Yoda making appearances, that's where I lived.
Man, that thing sounds SO good, both the whine and the roar.
This car has now officially solidified its place as my favorite skid factory build🍻
"Blowing Yoda" had me in stitches. Nice build there lads, I am a Ford man but appreciate the engineering and that whine of the 5.0. 🤙🤙👌👌
19:20
Al "touch wood"
*woody slaps his own leg in the background*
PeteM are you sure it was his “leg” hahaha
He missed an opportunity to touch the Kings Wood :-)
His third leg.
Woody sitting in the back "are we there yet Hoff?"
Atlas Being Haha, epic!
Good to see the tradition of a V8 powered wagon doing a skid in Alan's shed is still going strong.
The Iron Lion has been poked with a Harrop Angry stick and it sounds like its pissed off and ready to fight!! Great work guys, looks great sounds great, yeah i'm in love!!
Excellent choice! I need that sound in my life!
30:38 "If that supercharger was polished and terribly inefficient we would be ready for the burn-out pad". Is that a Cleetus reference?
Probably more of a roadkill reference
It was a reference to old gm 2 stroke blowers being basically useless. It was in the tech tip vid.
@@BlackJewFish Roadkill polishing a supercharger? Er, no
My guess is that its a reference to the skid culture in Australia, where many of the best competitors run massive chargers at relatively low boost. Just my guess though.
@@thekodanator I wouldn't say relatively, 4-5 PSI of boost is objectively low boost considering the harrop charger in this car is alot less obnoxious looking and makes much higher boost
Love the opening bait n switch! TUUUUURRRRRBBBOOOOO YYYYOOOOOODDDDAAAAA!!
I'm glad Al has come over to the blower side 👌 love that instantaneous torque
The Hoff certainly knows his stuff.
I turn up to work everyday, look up the road to Noosa Radiators and wonder when ill get my next fix of Skid Factory.
Today is the day! Seems like withdrawals slowly subsiding. Love your work guys!
Very cool and so glad you showed the dyno run in the same episode!
Man, That car just puts a smile on my face, and now supercharged, wow. Really would love a car like that. Beautiful.
Love what you do.... Dont ever stop guys... Quality viewing
50min episode my dream has come true keep it up blokes
Thanks fr that watched all eps. Go the Whining Iron Lion. I'll be checking out more of yr stuff.
Great vid as usual. I can't believe there's 13 downvotes, probably searching for the 'how to knit your own vagina beanie' and ended up here by mistake
It's just youtube's automatic downvoting algorithm.. None of the stats are legit..
Those help keep the sand out of the Vajay VAjay crevasse!!!!!
That was a suprise seeing a supercharger nice build love that you are doing something diffrent.
Saw the Kinger on Hastings street Noosa on a recent trip to the area, such a sweet rig!
Love the longer content! And the special tip for brackets was awesome! Thanks Guys!
When I listen to the engine start. I thougt that there was someone screaming each time u reved it.. sounds so good.!
Nice lineal torque feed with a supercharger. And love the fact that it continues to look original.
Thanks for the tip on putting the indent in the bracket fold. I was asking a mate just the other day how to do it and he didn't know. Quite timely, thanks.
Nothing better than waking up to a skid factory vid. Good effort lads.
"Yurbo Toda" is now "squwooshy toda" Awesome work. Loving the new graphics, and I now really need a squwooshy in my automotive life.
New graphics look good guys! Also that torque is killer. All down low and tapering off a bit. But when your cruising it's the low end torque you want.
Great build guys. Blower in the valley the V8 makes so much sense. Great torque and linear power - and that sound is brilliant!
This is by far the greatest cold open you've ever had for your show. Turbo yoda you've outdone yourself this time!
Ahh, the old lecky tape bandage, works really well with a Kleenex tissue for large wounds.
Better yet, put a layer of glad wrap over it if its a large area... otherwise you'll be picking scabbed Kleenex out of you for ages.
A medic once told me the adhesive on electrical tape is antibacterial so perfect to use. As for the Kleenex that's for your nose and your... Yet another awesome episode guys, cheers.
teflon thread tape is ideal for finger cuts ... put er on tight for the initial bleed then back it off when the throbbin starts ...... once ya stop leakin give it a wash and reapply .. and non stick !!
I thought his thumb was in mourning....
Two words, super glue.
WOW... Never heard a Kinga like that before... 😃😃😃🤯🤯🤯
This whole build is awesome! So glad you guys finally did a supercharged Aussie 8 with Aussie gear behind it, love your work lads keep it up :)
Double shed skid madness!!! Woooo!
Yeah, I was just thinking about that little rant he had about not pulling skids in client's cars a few episodes ago.
I'm sure we're all happy he's moved on.
You guys are bloody top level info/entertainment now. Chilled and confident with good banter. And you've got top mates in the business and supporting you
Threw my arms up in excitement when I saw the twin screw.
Why do I need "HARROP TV CONETENT" when you guys make the best conetent :)
Despite having a lot of choice, some people are just never conetented.
You two are bloody brilliant al your amazing with so much stuff, woody your a legend do a shed walk around
retro beast pure gold
Great vid. Like the start to finish format.
All the holden boys will love the new shirt. Could you do a Fairlane or barra or ford diffs or ford brakes shirt, you know all the good stuff😀. For the ford boys and girls.. please..
I forget how great iron lions sound sometimes, pretty cool the last 2 Summernats horsepower comps have been won by Aussie designed engines. Awesome work.
At least Whine'n Lion doesn't give me a mental picture each time of Ted Bullpitt dressed as the Lion from Wizard of Oz chained up in a basement of an S&M club like it's previous name does...
Cheers for that, AND for sharing the awesome job you've done for the ol' girl! ;)
See you guys next time cheers
Thanks for the tip on strengthening a 90* bend. I'll def use that in future builds. Enjoying the content as always.
That wagon is super cool.
Yes, Big Horses coming
My favorite UA-cam channel. Period
Awesome work fellas. Absolutely love it n the whole iron lion build
I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but this is one of the coolest cars you guys have done. Congrats!
Keep the holdens coming.
Perfect amount of horses for an ole wagon, just right for haulin ass well done guys
Love it - now bolt one on a Cleveland lads
That new supercharger sound gives the iron lion an unusual "roar".. Cheers!
AL that throttle bracket 🔥💯 quality and thanks for the trick.
I had a shiny 3 lobe roots blower that worked great as a muck spreader on the farm.
I just missed my grand mother's funeral for this episode and I don't even feel bad! Great content guys keep up the excellent work! I'm off to the SF store to get me a shirt and stubby cooler 👍
AWESOME...... I want the Whining Lion! I watched the build from start to finish as I've always been a Lion Wagon lover. You guys are on point with these build videos. No BS, no fluff, no big sell. I've subscribed and hit the Bell! Cheers!
Have been playing with the harrop blower on the 2gr convesion in a lotus exige recently. Top quality gear
Yeah, got one on my Evora S as well. Works great, but misses the intercooler 😔
So good to see the guys doing some blower action and really enjoying it! 👌
Harrop is hands down one of the best at what they do. Attention to detail, good business thinking, good customer support.
I think maybe this was my very favorite SF to date....cant hardley wait to see what you guys have planned for the rest of 2020 !!
Thanks for all your content...
SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD!
Ron Harrop was in hospital - next bed to my old man - many years ago. Had some great yarns with him.
30:37 that burn :D love it
Bloody cool cruiser. I love a good bit of supercharge whine. I always wanted another one.
*Al is a mechanical genius*
One of my favorite builds hands down 😍
We love what you guys do! Great to see and understand the different engine options available.
You guys are the best, so laid back....
this is one off my best loved channels. just awesome petrol heads.
Turbo Yoda + Old Holdens = 😍😍😍
Lol!!! I love your comments on the roots blower. At least they look cool.
Good power for that boost. I agree with Al that no more boost is needed, especially since it was put together with standard pistons and the rod bolts weren’t upgraded.
That manual tb let you do that sweet under the hood shot don't forget!!!!
Can't beat an all windows down- including rear-"Aussie AC" wagon cruise.
That whole kit is some serious quality! Not easy to find superchargers with that much serious work out into them. Love it boys!
Cool new graphics guys 👍
They had to make sure to be ahead of the freedom factory. Bloody cleetus
Love how informative you boys are. Really know ya shit
Thanks fellas, such a great episode, and a true eye-opener to transform a 304 into a beast. Loved that you used components from iconic Australian companies. The Kingswood might need some heavier sway bars to cope with the chaos you’ve unleashed!
Start shouting on the comments section! Turbo Yoda is now Sqwooshy Yoda.
I think that
Higher than atmospheric pressure Yoda
would look better on a T-shirt and sounds better
1 bar Yoda lol
Super-Yoda
Heee's the hyperbaric yoooodaaaaaaa
@@Darwinpasta Now *that's* obscure -- love it!
Hell ya...boost it!What an awesome video!
I can't wait 2 see the next Cummins 6bt video,I've been looking for it EVERYDAY after work,I love Skid Factory!
Icing on the bloody cake boys. Well done, very neat, and great result for the little Iron Lion, that car is definitely a keeper now.
Gale Banks did some videos recently on comparing a couple different superchargers. They are very nerdy as he dives real deep in the data.
Timothy Thompson I wish Gale Banks was my Dad.
Awesome episode ... PS did you see cleetus borrowed ya logo for the “freedom factory” ... factory collab coming up
Oi I see it man, you're right
Must have a lot to do with the bolting on a shiny inefficient blower comment jabs.
F me it almost exactly the same, didn't know cleet liked Lemon Squash.
Nah Ol Cleet's on the bartle skeets
that's probably the best intro in a while!!!!!
MCM - takes 5 episodes to bolt on a $169 ebay turbo
Skid Factory - bolts Supercharger on, dyno and test drive in 1 ep. Love your work guys
Obviously you didn't watch the Bedford van build.
What do I do with my life now this build is finished?
Loving the channel lads!
Watch the next build.
Awesome, great episode. ... CROWN!
This was beautiful, missed these episodes so much, thanks guys.
Love it boys, now you get the reason why I am into SC’s. I run an R53 and the Harrop is a good upgrade, one on my list to do once the engine rebuild is complete!
Cannot beat that whine and the instant and constant rush of power!
love the twist at the beginning
Nice tip on the bends
