Always grateful for the likes of Kye sharing their time and experience. I hope Haltech have him on a deal as he is doing ace product marketing. Small details: raising the front end to level the car out for oil feed pick up on the dyno. So many times I see a car backed up onto a single axle roller or hub dyno with zero consideration of a potential issue on sump level while a car is flat out and the oils struggling back from the heads etc.
That VK LS is more horn than the bots commenting. Absolutely badass and looks like everyone involved in screwing it together has done their best work. Congrats to all involved.
id love kye to do a video overview of the haltech software, the way he explains things just registers so well with my brain. Also that fab work is top notch!!
There’s engine builders and then there is, this! Every engine builders wet dream, of tuning to not damage a fresh engine. So much TLC(tender loving care). 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
Kye is definitely not the "press Page Up for more powah!" type of tuner. His knowledge is mindblowing in pretty much every episode he's appearing... 😎🤟
9-10second pass again a goal we used to aim for. These days yeah it will do 9's for years to come. After the 2500 hp summernats dyno thats gunna become the new benchmark to get to as we just blew past the 1000hp and 1500 so i see 2-2500 hp as the new 500 hp its crazy people dont understand how much hp that actualy is look at road trains in wa pulling 10+ trailers and there all trucks that dont even have 1000hp. Its getn to dangerous crazy hp numbers esp in street cars.anyway sorry for the speil guys love it all keep it up
"Wastegate priority" is an interesting comment made by the tuner. Boosting 4psi on a 7psi spring because gate valve is being pushed open a bit because of good flow to the wastegate. I dont like how the gate pipe merges the dump, i like to see a lesser angle where it shoots in.
No build series man! Just owned by a good mate and built by another! You can checkout Ryan’s Instagram or Facebook for more pics! Links within the description
I see like 13psi average when sensor is in upper rad hose wich is where I like to put them. Some will creep to 18 ish or even low 20’s but you get a nice spike into 30 she’s gone lol
Hey Woody, long time fan inconsistent view I blame work, mate the new shop looks great and the new way forward is just as good, thank you from this 50yr old car guy, I enjoy the way you and Kye take the time to explain the black magic of the modern way of controlling old reliability. This message coming from my tent office room in Laos clearing cluster bombs and missing my iron Lion Vs ute with its 355 stoker, and Kye wow mate the way you explain what is going on and teaching us all what to listen and look for is awesome. Cheers again Woody the new is great.
Heaps left in that combo, gone 930rwhp on a stock L98 through a t400 for several years and people make 1000+ on SBE iron 6.0 every day of the week. At least at that power it’ll do 300,000kms I guess! Cool streeter.
I dunno man been watching the channel since it's inception...loved the builds and footage of the quality workmanship. Seem to be missing some of that coverage so far.
E throttle cable can eat a dick. For a daily with light on off throttle in low speeds in traffic. It adds such a delay and chada bump to off throttle to back to idel to small on throttle timing response
Hey guys, this is so funny to see how you guys obviously seem to have succeeded to spoon a 6.0Liter LS V8 into a car we would call a Opel Commodore which came standard with a 2.5 liter straight 6 here in Europe. Nicely done guys!
Oh mate always love when Kye is on the channel, that guy is the best kind of tuner, knows his shit, has fun with it, makes you slow down and think before smashing page up lol Commo is pretty sweet too, can't think the last time I saw a VK here in NZ
A stock bottom end will happy make way more. I make 1000 all day long. Rods definitely not happy and do bent but if the tuner knows has shit you will be right. I did 700 for 2 years on 98 and stock fuel line lol
Nothing wrong with all of that, it’s just limited to the capabilities of the Haltech elite 950. It’s actually getting upgraded to an Elite 2500t next week 😉
Hey Woody! Im building the same car/engine package now. Could you find out who the high mount alternator bracket came from, pretty please? I cant get my head around what ive managed to find online so far for this. Cheers! Adam
Really nice car super clean build 😮. Besides retrofitting some windscreen wipers how hard would it be to get it into a registrable condition in qld? Does qld have historic or modified rego like vic ? Looks like a good drag and drive car
I agree. Guess there in there for better support for track duty as early model commodore seats don't have any lateral support. Colour matched to the rest of the interior may help
Nice video, But what does stock bottom end mean, Original pistons/rods/crank. No rings or bearings no check over, just put a cam in and let it go from there?? New to the industry would like some insight.
Seems light, no? I made a pig rich 630whp on 14psi and 14° in a 4.8L, smaller cam setup on only E40. I was expecting you to make those #s on 7-8psi on E85 with a 6L.
Hey guys, love the video's. Just wanting to know if any can recommend a place in brisbane to buy stainless exhaust parts to make my own exhaust from. Help would be appreciated :)

Huge thanks to Kye, Wazza and Ryan for their time and providing The Skid Factory with some solid content. Stay tuned for more LS videos in the future!
Also huge thanks to the skid factory for being the absolute best and most wholesome content on UA-cam
@@lachlanmcwilliam670thanks mate ❤️

More superb content from Kye ....... He is always articulate and knowledgeable.
Ya camera and editing skills are progressing well Woodsy.
id love kye to do a video overview of the haltech software, the way he explains things just registers so well with my brain. Also that fab work is top notch!!
One of the undeniable things that make LS a great platform is the ability of the stock bottom end.
There’s engine builders and then there is, this!

🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
That VK Commodore it looks amazing goes really fast 670HP Well Done
Kye is definitely not the "press Page Up for more powah!" type of tuner. His knowledge is mindblowing in pretty much every episode he's appearing... 😎🤟
BIG fan of these Dyno vids, thanks!!
Picture how smart the people are that designed the Haltec system. Tuning such a complex management system is something else.
Top work.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
Love the content bro Killing it Woody!!
Liking and commenting to support you. Good job, keep up the good work bro 👍
VK's are awesome, I like the more robust look than the VL. I had a fuel injected Executive back in the day.
love your work Woody , looking forward to the next one 👍
Loving the videos. Keep ‘em coming Woody.
very neat looking VK, keeping it stock looking with a nice surprise in the powertrain.
Beautiful work from RK garage

Yo, notification squad from upover 😅 💪
Edit: loved the video! AL is/was great but you're doing great too! :)

Well done Woody.
Goodness that's a beautiful build! 👏
Kye has the experience. Can't replace that.
Hi,
Can you safely arrive Shinjuku 3chome????
Your custom work is beautiful!!
Hideo Nagata from Tokyo
Thank you for the directions Hideo! We made it safely to our accommodation with your help! 👍
Sick quality built car. Did I miss the build series for it?
No build series man! Just owned by a good mate and built by another! You can checkout Ryan’s Instagram or Facebook for more pics! Links within the description
those spark plugs are so clean, unlike the dark brown on mine... recirculating exhaust valve leak.
Damn thats a slick build. I even approve the cream interior. Gonna be hard to keep it that clean tho. 😆
Fark that bay would get HOT! Any reason theres no beanie and wrap or ceramic coat?
The mounting block for that IAC must have small passages/hoses, mercruiser uses them on 496, and 502 ci big blocks
Great video well done guy's
im no expert but that cage install looks excellent
I would love to do this in a EURO-spec 80's Opel Senator😀
I see like 13psi average when sensor is in upper rad hose wich is where I like to put them.
Some will creep to 18 ish or even low 20’s but you get a nice spike into 30 she’s gone lol
Tune the warm idle at 0% iac and gain more control. Use timing to pull a high hard idle down to target to gain even more.

See you at Rockynats
See you there man!
Videos are all great mate. well done and keep them comming
Living on the ragged edge,.

Kye is a wizard 😮
I dunno man been watching the channel since it's inception...loved the builds and footage of the quality workmanship. Seem to be missing some of that coverage so far.
How do the auto transmissions work on these cars? In the UK I only ever see standard Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive.
Killing it
😜👍🇦🇺
street car - cruiser - 6.0l with a fk off turbo lol - shows he's around proper race applications a lot.
my favorite car on the show
That roll cage is incredibly unobtrusive. Very well done.
Whens Al comming for a build. No offence woody
What a beast 😮
Nice VK!
Always love the dyno content with Kye, thanks Woody.
I have a Chevy caprice which I think is a WM Holden statesman? I’m stoked for more LS/Holden stuff
Ya doing good bro 👍
Bad ass woody always love the vids bro and the builds!!
Dave's a can't... whoops wrong VK
Did you see my message with the cream interior? 😂
@@theskidfactoryhaha missed that the first time viewing :D
Nice and shiny
Kye is the new al.., good work woody, love the skid factory!!
How's Als mates twin turbo 351 ute going? Any chance we could get some future content on it Woody?
What's wazzas next build

They came out here with the option for a V8.

Can learn so much listening to Kye.
Can we get a link for the alternator relocation kit?
plumbed back wastegates makes baby jesus cry 😢
Thanks for coming up to Rocky again mate. We love the Skid Factory up here!
Is there a way of running a stand alone drive By wire with 2000 sports?
Many standalone dbw controllers about now.
Absolutely LOVING the woodrigo factory, cant wait for bigger and better things to come.
A stock bottom end will happy make way more. I make 1000 all day long. Rods definitely not happy and do bent but if the tuner knows has shit you will be right. I did 700 for 2 years on 98 and stock fuel line lol
It’s so well done. Love it. Well done to Ryan. 👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Would have to be my absolute dream build right there. Such a stylish ride the old VK
Love it Woody
"Not for long" 🤣
Cable throttle, wasted spark, mechanical water pump, does it have a pedal powered fuel pump 😂
Nothing wrong with all of that, it’s just limited to the capabilities of the Haltech elite 950.
It’s actually getting upgraded to an Elite 2500t next week 😉
Hey Woody! Im building the same car/engine package now. Could you find out who the high mount alternator bracket came from, pretty please? I cant get my head around what ive managed to find online so far for this. Cheers! Adam
Think it’s from a patrol conversion or something, message RK garage on Instagram he will be able to tell you. Link is within the description
@@theskidfactory sweet will do, thanks!!
For all you kiwis, hot rods and harleys 16 March dargaville
How do I get an invite to dyno day?!😁😁
Nice car. That front bar butchery makes baby jesus cry though
Yeah it’s getting a new bonnet and front bar soon enough
Really nice car super clean build 😮. Besides retrofitting some windscreen wipers how hard would it be to get it into a registrable condition in qld? Does qld have historic or modified rego like vic ? Looks like a good drag and drive car
would love to see more drive along content!
Hey Woody hot tip.. don't look at the sun ya chooch. Killer epp
Dam that’s bright
Thanks brother, great job getting a video up every week. Keep up the hard work.
We appreciate it🎉
Keep it up 🪵y the 📹 are going awesome 👌
Those front buckets look a bit out of place
I agree. Guess there in there for better support for track duty as early model commodore seats don't have any lateral support. Colour matched to the rest of the interior may help
Boosted Commodore content...nice
Plenty more to come!!
Love the LS content!
Very nice car.
Thankyou for the video
Good work woody
See you at rocky nats 👍👍🍻🍻🍻
Nice video, But what does stock bottom end mean, Original pistons/rods/crank. No rings or bearings no check over, just put a cam in and let it go from there?? New to the industry would like some insight.
Variants of those IAC's come on 5.4L, 6.8L fords. Should be plenty, if you have the right one.
Wat brand and where to get Alternator bracket from. Cheers 👍 love the show 🎉
What's the significance of the iron block? I thought all Aussie ls's were alloy.
Iron blocks are supposedly stronger and for a Stock bottom End it can Handle more powerz
Still Probly worth retensioning the heads down after the dyno runs
Seems light, no? I made a pig rich 630whp on 14psi and 14° in a 4.8L, smaller cam setup on only E40. I was expecting you to make those #s on 7-8psi on E85 with a 6L.
Thanks woodie
High mount alternator? Who makes this style?
LS gang 🇦🇺
When was that cage blue plated? I miss forward hoops :’(
I resd the title as Iron Lion lol
Youre the only dude ive ever heard call the 5.0 The Iron Lion.
Hey guys, love the video's. Just wanting to know if any can recommend a place in brisbane to buy stainless exhaust parts to make my own exhaust from. Help would be appreciated :)
