I like watching this when things don’t work. It’s helpful to see other people problem solving. It’s also nice to know it’s not the gram and everything is perfect. Real people doing real things in a real back shed. Keep it up. Loving the content.
Thanks mate, awesome to hear
Would love to see a video of you guys on a trip in the 4wd's i think itd be hilarious
If you guys want to see it, we will film it one day for sure 👍🏼
Yeah what seawolf said
Love the touch lamp under the bonnet haha perfect!
Being a Maverick it really should be Barra powered!! Pull the engine and build it for the Pano and then Barra the Mav👌😁
Haha that’s a fair point
You lads are awesome! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’re channel will GROW!
Thanks mate, much appreciated
How much did the radiator cost I looked it up and thay got gu only and that was 2.2k :(
The ECO Friendly Touch Sensitive LED bonnets light was the funniest thing!
Do ya have a link to where ya got the scoop from.
It was off eBay mate, but the seller has since removed the listing unfortunately
What exhaust headers are you using mate, could get them ceramic coated to help with heat
I think that you might have a short circuit to ground in the wiring between the ignition module & the Holley Sniper EFI system somewhere,it could be simpler than you think !
Sounds like the wire going from the negative side of the coil is finding a ground instead of being used as a signal, if you ground the negative side of the coil you will lose spark.
Have you replaced the original ignition positive wire I think the original had a resistor in it for the old 7.2v ignition system
Yeah we have. We had to do that when we installed the electric dizzy
Are you still using the stock ignition wiring?
Great job lads, the bonnet lighting, I couldn't stop laughing .
Haha thanks mate
Running a LS1 Alternator on my HQ running Fitech solved a heap of issues, they need a very stable voltage and the addition of the EFI + pump draws a heap of voltage
The hq runs a 9v coil as standard equipment and the standard ignition wire has an inbuilt resistor so there is a good chance the original wire won't cut it. On my hj I found the easiest way to fix the problem without hacking up the wiring harness was screw a relay to the firewall use the ignition wire to operate the relay coil and run a wire with a 2mm copper core from the fuse box the relay then another from the relay to the distributor or a 12v coil depending whether your coil is separate to the dizzy. With the patrol/ maverick have a think about putting in a switch that can manually turn on the the thermo fans. I've had a thermatic switch die on the side of the road and was not happy.
Can you provide a link for the heat shield material? Thanks.
Hey mate, can do
www.tiperformance.com.au/products/permaseal-mlsr-exhaust-heat-shield/
Spark issue. Guys try running your coil power straight from the battery. The factory coil wiring uses a resistance wire as feed. You may have overheated power feed or even ignition switch.
I had similar issues.
Good luck
Hey mate, thanks for the tip, i had replaced the 9V resistance wire when we did the electronic dizzy conversion, but I still had a crack at powering it straight from the battery and still had no luck.
I am not a 4WD person, so my comment might make no sense to guys who know about 4WD,s.
But that is a HUGE radiator, can fit 2, 14 inch cooling fans WOW.
Remove your bonnet protector which clearly kicks up the air towards the windscreen. The streamlined airflow over the bonnet into the scoop will work a treat without your bonnet protector
Stock ignition wiring after start up drops to 7 volts soon after start for old setup
Sniper and electronic dizzy need constant 12 volt
Where did you get the scoop from cheers
I got it off eBay mate, I’d link it, but the seller has removed the listing
@@HackshopGarage cheers
If it did have a points distributor it would of had a ballast resistor that needs to be bypassed when changing to electronic distributor , a ballast resistor drops the volts to around 7 volts so the points don’t burn out but electronic distributor and the Holley ecu need constant 12 volts
Imho revering the scoop would have aided with removal of hot air from the engine bay
But it does look good
Patina on the scoop 😉
Had to make it match the rest of the paint haha
Guys check out frogzskin mesh it lets air in and out but doesn't let water dust mud etc.. in through the mesh, people use it alot in marine applications and snowmobiles to pull cool air from outside the hull or engine compartment but not let water in. An oil cooler will help aswell with engine temp, alot of drift cars use them.
Sounds pretty interesting. Will check it out. Thanks mate
Good one 👍
Where did u buy scoop and how much please?
Hey mate, the scoop came from an eBay seller that no longer lists it
@@HackshopGarage hi, ok cool thanks, I have recently just fitted a 302 Cleveland into my 93 GQ wagon, temp does get up a bit, wondering if a scoop would help.
I’ve messaged the seller to see if he is interested in re listing the scoop given a few people are asking for it. But by the looks of it a scoop definitely helps
cool ride im a big fan
Haha I see what you did there
By the sounds it needs a diode in the negative side of the coil to the sniper ecu
Like a one way diode to stop any signal being sent to the coil from the sniper?
Hackshop Garage yeah it will stop the small signal getting past like a fillter almost
I gave it a crack this afternoon, but still, no go. Still got me scratching my head
Jump on the Holley efi sniper fb group - some smart people on there will be able to sort it
Ebay ones are shit I been through 3 of them.
I bought a Desert cooler radiator 3 years ago best thing I've ever done.
Td42 turbo always got hot now I've tried everything to make it get hot 5th gear pulls up a long hill and it still won't go over 95*.
I got one got it tested and was leaking from evry where not happy
Race radiators dandy. Theyll sort issue. Ally rad guaranteed with EL falcon thermos. Zero dramas with their products. 100000km offroad no dramas
Iam going to give them a try as well having problems with Aussies Desert coolers had pin holes evry where not happy so iam going to try race radiators a go for my td42 turbo gq
@@td42dirtygq yeah i was less than impressed with aussie desert cooler. Complete junk. Same issue as you described. Pin holes everywhere in the custom rad they made for me. Since fitting the race radiators rad 0 issues. 0 overheating. Runs minticle!
@@SHOCKcustoms done I have to give them a shot now forsure
Tap water arghhh nooo use distilled only.
So guys I take it the word of the day is "BEES" Surely this gets me a free sticker pack!! Hah Hah !! Anyway keep up the great work...
Haha that’s a fair call! send us a message on our socials or at hackshopgarage@gmail.com mate 👍🏼
Lol he complains that the maverick is slow asf. Then he's like "hold my beer" and throws a forward facing scoop on it that will just add drag and make it slower 😂
Hahaha true, but at least it stays cool while going slow
Cute couple the fat one looks bossy but still a great looking couple keep it up bois
The aluminium radiator will make things worse, better off with copper radiator
Why is that ?
Bees don't bite. They don't have teeth!
Looking at when the xacoupeguy changed the distro on his wb he removed the factory wire that went back to the key for that reason, maybe part but not all of the solution.
Also with wrapping I reckon a wrap with a pattern or design works better than trying to match colours. But not sure about an aussie flag on the scoop
Yeah We removed that wire when we did the electronic dizzy conversation, it looks like the sniper is grounding the coil, which is odd.
Haha an assume flagged scoop would be a feature that’s for sure
👍🏻🍺👏
