"I reckon we should go do Skids" Me in my Dad's 317hp WH L67 powered Statesman with an 80s mix tape blasting on the Eurovox tape deck that my dad refuses to get rid of
In my old EK with a Hydramatic the splines on the input shaft were eventually all worn of. The car simply refused to move of from the lights one day. We replaced the input shaft but not the torque converter side. Worked perfectly.
Re the capped connector on the 'new' 4L60E: High trims like S Pack/SS and Berlina have a little PRND321 indicator on the dash - that connector is what tells the PCM (and therefore the dash) what gear is selected. Lower trims like Executive don't have the indicator on the dash or the plug on the loom, so the connector is capped off on the transmission.
Well, because.... just because..... that’s my line when people ask me why I zip tie things instead of affixing them properly 😂😂... great episode Scotty
so much mang. Still pretty healthy for an old L67, I did rockers and a pulley on mine many moons ago, lifted it to 159rkws. A 30kw gain was very noticeable, and the whine sounded great too.
Nothing wrong with pulling it out just to sick it back in again mate :p. Love the L67 iv got one hopeing to learn abit from you about the supercharger and anything you come up with. Your a funny bloke
Was gonna say it's best value of the bunch! Trolvo is a cool car, if memory serves they got it for $500, but I'd be curious to know how much it cost to go from an unfinished project to running and driving and hopefully registered.
I think that second plug in the trans is for the gear selector indicator on the dash. The trans you got might be of an older car or lower spec model but wont make a difference to how it runs
Nice work scotty, as soon as you said oh my god you know what I forgot, i said out loud to myself as you said it "converter bolts" had a good laugh at that
I did have a thought on the slight difference between the transmissions... Maybe its as simple as a 'series 1' vs 'series 2' matter - There were differences, even though none of them were particularly major... Don't quote me on that though, can tell 'for a fact'... ~JD
I reckon this ol dunger could tell some stories. Would have loved to have seen the punter that bought the doors..ad in the trading post no doubt...tell him he is dreaming!
That is soooo funny "OMG forgot the converter bolts" haha sorry Scotty but that was great and it always has to happen mate. It just wouldn't be carnage if you didn't cut the car up
First 7mins just Scotty movin cars. Normally this would be annoying but oddly enough because its Scotty it was actually entertaining. Cant wait to hear that commy mang up a storm. 👍
The extra plug. I’m pretty sure is for supercharged models only. The supercharged models limit torque to try protect the gearbox. They have more inputs to the computer to help this system work.
Isn't there a stroker kit you can buy for the old 3.8 that takes it to 4.2? I remember seeing this done years ago on a car in Adelaide and it was awesome.
Scotty you need to meet up with the boys from nugget garage and race against there nugget VS with turbo l67 they just put up on TH-cam Scotty VS Nugget Garage 💪
Thanks for the Trolvo update Scotty. 👍 Hopefully you saw all my parts arriving last episode. 😉 I've got the ass in the air right now doing more "weight reduction" on the car. To quote Kian, "Australia says no" but Mafia says yes. 😁 Every gram of crap I remove makes that power to weight so much better. 😎
Would love to see you go full ham on the supercharger hey....I know most people swapped em out for turbo but they can’t be completely useless with a bit of work put into em can they?!
Well kind of. The basics of the L67 date back to the late 80s in the US, we didn't see them until the VS Commodore. While the AU intech was the forerunner of the Barra. All that aside I think this will be interesting. It doesn't make much power now but we'll get it there.
@@robertshepherd995 Not really, or the EA 3.9, or X-flow, or every bottom end back to the XK. Can't remember exactly when they went to 7 bolt mains, but apart from that, the major changes were to the crankshaft balance counterweights and the timing case etc for the timing chain. Stronger materials and better designed rotating assembly of course.
only making another 20kW or so from the supercharger is pretty embarrassing but remember that these were designed for a fairly unsophisticated FWD platform in the USA so more power probably couldn't be utilized. They have lower compression and forged internals so they are asking to be intercooled and/or turboed and the boost cranked right up.
@@robertshepherd995 the eb had 4 or 2 bolt mains the same as the 60's motors ,the au went to 7 bolt in the sump cross bolted you beawt main bearings and a better head ...unless you're eb has an orginial xr6 yammaha desgined head
Probably already said but they blank off that plug on executives, executives don't have a wire that runs there so they just blank it off with that plug. Found that out the hard way on my Berlina, I'm pretty sureit's for some dash lights that executives don't have.
“Oh Steve, could you move the Camira? I need to get the Torana out so I can get to the Commodore.” “I’ll have to get the keys to the Cortina if I’m gonna move that Camira.” “Yeah. Watch the boat, mate.”
without intercooling you loose power past 14-15psi with the baby m90 blower, its working so hard that it just cooks the air and intake temps start pushing 130+ Celsius bloke i know spend thousands on a fresh bottom end and all the good bits, had a 2.8" pulley and wouldnt listen to anyone about installing a cooler, ran it up on the dyno and made 149kw. installed an intercooler and within a week flipped it on its roof on vines rd in geelong trying to do heaps sick drifting in the rain. probably 2014?

Nah, didn't bother. I wasn't looking to really melt them. After all our workshop is a rental and we don't want to totally screw up the concrete outside, and if we use the street the cops will come calling
How I'd do it, high flow the m90, mace 19psi pulley kit, fmic, high ratio rockers, head studs, valve springs and obviously a full twin exhaust, rebuild the vns th700 and piss off the 4l60e or even better a th400 👌 throw some 345s in the diff and off to the the low 11s 🤔🤞👌
That intercooler must be broken - it didn't make any noise when you stroked it.
Scotty is fast becoming my favourite host. Torque converter bolts - we’ve all been there 👍😆
Totally natural, I do all my own stunts. We have to leave this stuff in because it's what really happens

I reckon the plug that was covered up was because the car you pulled the 460le out of at the wreckers didn’t have traction control maybe?
the look on your face when you forgot the converter bolts too funny
@19:17 I have been there many a time. It was just awesome watching it on vid for someone else. Thanks for the videos Scotty!
with the trans hole.. good opportunity to weld in a drain bung(if the car isn't too low)
The second plug is for cars that have the gear displayed on the instrument cluster. Calais, Stato’s etc.

When you do your vn conversion use the vn th700 and mod the kickdown cable. Or throw the vn throttle on the L67. Better box.

It might be a gen older than Barra but remember the VCT Intech was the same generation and it was basically the same power and torque N/A

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure a l67 auto has a factory 25-26 stall and a Ecotel is 1800ish
more like 2200 for the ecojet, but yes they are different. shouldnt affect a dyno pull though.
Probably why it struggled to get up enough to start ripping a skid
I love this channel
I'd love to have a big bar, but I guess we all can't be that fortunate...
I was alway told the Supercharged V6 Auto trans were different from the NA V6. More clutches in the clutch pack
I read that the converters were physically bigger but they were same size
Exactly same. Just higher stall speed in the L67.
Needs more turbo Scotty.......
Next episode on carnage we change the transmission again!

What, no Cadillac converters?
Not as much as the naturally aspirated AU xr6 u guys had .. that put out 140+ rwkw in similar spec (no cat and airbox open)..
hell yeah im excited for this build, dont forget to sell the cats for scrap theyre worth a bit
You should do a rotary build after this commodore build
always saw the cats off and sell them to the scrappy. those things are robbing power and worth a few bucks
130rwkw isn’t too bad for a stock l67 that has how many ks and normally they drop to 110-120
Yeah probably would have been down there with full exhaust and filter
STREETMACHINETV yeah more than likely haha hope the build goes too plan seems pretty healthy and keen to go for something that was just left too rot
Turbo Yoda wouldn't be happy with you pulling the trans without the converter attached
Don't worry, I was also unhappy about it. But at the time I couldn't be arsed
