Knowing you guys are going to Rockynats just made my day. After a bad year of dealing with cancer and kicking it's arse. Laying in bed watching your vids during treatments really helped to get me through it. I'm taking my 18 and 21 yr old boys for our 1st trip where they are both legal age and we can have fun and I can celebrate with them that I'm still above ground to do this with them.
This just may be my most favorite build you guys have done to date. Thank you for keeping it Nissan, but also thank you for not going the generic, as-expected RB route. I hope you guys can find a decent hood scoop for it. Cheers, and aloha from Kailua, Hawai'i. 😎🤙
@@MiGujack3 They occasionally make impressive films and occasionally they make impressive cars, like the RB26 240z. And they consistently entertain in the process. Reality is that MCM is/was their side gig, they're car enthusiasts not mechanics, and having the humility to let the skills of Benny, Alan etc shine through is surely enough to earn them kudos. I will never understand why people demand any more than this from them.
@@hambo6713 Because they are more than capable to build something really good, by themselves. Saying they are not mechanics is straight up bs. Like why would they buy a shop and be called MIGHTY car MODS in the first place? I would also like to add that we don't see their old projects driven. There is no NEED to build something new, but we don't see that type of content either. I'm glad I found MCM back in the day, but now other channels are surpassing them fast (content wise, not subs), like this one.
I don't want to change how the original hakosuka was conceived, but THIS build seems like what Nissan would have built, if they aimed for a true Muscle Car back then (well, a Japanese one, of course). I'm really impressed! I would like one of it, please 😂😂 (Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!)
I know you guys all know each other eg.. yoda, the tuners etc... but I really appreciate how friendly and down to earth they are in explaining the issues. I've come across tuners that are a real disappointment as far as, they won't dyno the car unless they built the engine, or that they want certain tech specs completed before they will touch it eg.. certain fuel pumps, injectors etc... and then some that down right are rude, treat you as though you have no idea what's going on.... To many tuners these days that think they are some sort of all mighty God... It's good to see someone out there that is willing to share their knowledge and problem solve with the owner in a light hearted manner. Top episode guys 👍👌
There’s a good amount of truth there, but you also can’t blame them for being picky sometimes. There’s a lotta Almighty God “engine builders” out there too, and one little f$&kup can cause $20k worth of damage pretty quick , with some finger pointing and blame happening even quicker.
@@playwme3 totally agree mate, some guys forget that not every customer can afford $5k+ for some mods to get a tune done. I can understand if someone is wanting to push the boundaries etc, but a lot of guys expect best of everything even for a lower end tune.
Agreed for the most part, however working in this field, I also won't dyno anything that is built by someone I don't know and/or doesn't meet certain criteria. Even with all the insurance and waivers/disclaimers in the world, a disappointed customer who doesn't manage their expectations can damage a business beyond repair. Even if they are usually wrong.
I imagine a lot of that comes down to experience and no one wants the finger pointed at them when something goes wrong. Nothing wrong with using your experience to cover your ass. Who is liable if it goes wrong? Expensive question
Considering the amount of work that's been done on this car, it's fricken AMAZING that there is only the one issue. Bloody hell, I've put stock factory parts onto a completely bog stock car and still had stuff not work properly afterwards - once you get into mods it's a whole different ball game. Respect fellas. That's a job very well done.
The graph of the oil pressure looks like the spring in the prv of the oil pump is bouncing. A shim under the spring/a stronger spring may be a simpler solution to having to redesign your whole oil setup. Certainly be worth a try anyway. This thing sounds incredible ❤️ p.s never stop the outtakes ❤️
@@theskidfactory Was it on ITB’s on the engine dyno or the carby setup? The incredible sounds it is producing would also create significant harmonics. Springs really don’t like harmonics. Al’s experience on these things would be far greater than my own though, I just thought I’d say it to put the idea in his head as a possibility. Whatever his computer comes up with will be the correct answer I have no doubt about that. I have seen harmonics to play havoc with pump springs before. Look forward to hearing this thing roar at its full potential.
Judging by the way the oil pressure situation improved with the removal of the "strainer" I would say the suction line before the pump is a combination of "too long" and "too small". You may find you don't need to overcomplicate the oil system too much with extra tanks and things if you can get the suction side of things to the oil pump fixed up. The fittings and things used in the suction line will be creating various choke points also, I think you would find an improvement upsizing everything significantly. I would be looking at the original pickup it had and ensuring that you have a diameter no smaller than it at any point. I would also be considering the size of the "strainer". Most OEM suction strainers are much larger than the small oval cutout in that tube. But hats off on the result so far, sounds MINT, good luck with the rework on the oil stuff. All I know is custom oil systems are a massive headache.
This is what I was thinking as well. There is too much pressure drop between the pickup in the oil pan and the oil pump. A bigger diameter hose and tube coupled with a more "flow friendly" pickup opening will probably help.
I don't know if you're having the same issue as we had on the race boat. But at high engin rpm, the high volume oil pump was actually sucking the pan dry. It presented itself the same way. The oil wasn't able to return to the pan fast enough. So we restricted the oil to the top end and opened the return passages in the head.
I think the cavitation that Nelson is talking about is pockets of vacuum developing in the pump. As the pump flows more oil out, more oil needs to fill the pump, the flow to the pump becomes important. Low enough pressure at the pump and it will begin to cavitate, then the pressure drops off as the pump is making large vacuum pockets, less oil in the pump to flow out. The restrictions you’ve ever already removed improved the flow to the pump, and reduced cavitation, improved out flow and thus pressure. Nelson will likely have a plan, it might just be thicker lines from the sump to the pump. Boys, cracking work again, amazing stuff.
I have had experience with a modified sump on a bike engine, the engine had a sight glass for checking oil level, which was brilliant to help us see what the oil in the sump was doing under load. It is a lot harder to see such a thing in a car compared to when I ran that engine on an engine stand, but maybe it could help diagnostics. Also, I'd make sure that suction hose isn't collapsing under vacuum.
Such a big fan of this build.... Gav you've knocked it out of the park with your choice in styling. The flares, those wheels and that paint colour, just 🔥 Then there's the driveline, so cool to see something left of field but still keeping things Nissan. You must be loving the sound your right foot makes right now!! Al, Woody and everyone else involved with this, you guys should be proud of this. Such an epic car, and while I can only dream of something like this, I'm stoked that someone out there is driving the Hulkasuka around putting smiles on everyone's faces 😁😁
I didn't think it would be but the hulk has been one of my favourite videos to date it's a build worthy of allans time and expertise. And teaching people the smart way to test a new engine safely is something I'll remember when it's time to tune mine👍👍👍 champions love the channel
I think you might have a hard time getting it to run fairly equal without a scoop on the hood. As it is now, the rear intakes will be starved because of the angle. The air coming over the bonnet will get to the forward intakes, but won't turn down into the bonnet to supply the rest. On the dyno it'll be fine as it is drawing in stationary air, but at varying speeds, you'll have different amounts of air going into each intake. My old Honda CB has this issue, as do all carbed 4 inlines. As you move your legs, you change how the air moves along the bike and if it gets to the carbs. The best solution is still the OEM airbox with minor mods or a breadbox style. Those are essentially what's on the intakes right now, but with a lid and mesh. They're taped upmost of the way around, so it equalises the air going in and have a steady flow. Very different engines, but the problem is the same: all intakes need equal pressure to have the it run with a steady AFR. The most common solution is a scoop, as you make it into a ram air intake which is easier to tune for. A possible issue with the cavitation might be that the line from the sump to the pump is too small. If the pump can't get enough fluid through, it'll start to create bubbles but they're a vacuum inside, which then foams up the oil as they collapse.
A possible cure would b to split the intake hood into four Two for each of the front trumpets and two for the rear keeping the volume and area of the opening to same more work but worth a go
Oh hell yeah. Its got that womp womp, lmao. If making 5000hp was possible without turbo or nitrous or blowers, then we'd be seeing ITB Top FUEL Dragsters. .....Come to think of it, im not against hearing a ITB Too Fuel Engine, but that blower surge would need a immensely beautiful symphony of ITB screaming. I'm not sure the cackle could be replaced by ITB setups. I also wonder if my pressure washer would handle a 600cc ITB CBR RR engine, habe that absolute baddest pressure washer ever. Cant stand within 75 feet of it, but damn if she dont sound brutal. Lmao.
The car looks amazing, the wheels are epic! And the sound, omg the sound, that is just earporn, what a magnificent sounding engine. Big thumbs up! It's also great seeing you explaining the issues you have and the route to fix them.
So just starting this video after watching the engine swap, that VK56 looks absolutely at home in the Hako engine bay. It is an absolutely gorgeous build. I am SO jealous!
Dang big fan of you fellows and the show been a subscriber for a long time, Rockhampton bloke myself good to hear you fellows are coming this way. My project car isn't ready yet unfortunately hope you all have fun anyway.
Air in the feed line is ventilation, not cavitation. Cavitation is when the super low pressure on the trailing edge of a propeller or impeller causes a liquid to boil. Ventilation is when you get air sucked into the leading edge of a propeller/impeller
Wikipedia "Moist Sump" Within piston engines, a wet sump is part of a lubrication system whereby the crankcase sump is used as an integral oil reservoir. An alternative system is the dry sump, whereby oil is pumped from a shallow sump into an external reservoir. Awesome build guys the whole car is epic! 👏👍
This is not a car/engine combo I would ever have done myself. That being said this is one of the coolest builds I've seen in a long time. kudos for going I.T.B.s.
The wheels certainly are distinctive, and most definitely not subtle. They give the car a very sharp character. And the sound of the engine is heavenly. Great job!
This what always happens! I talk to someone about a engine build that’s hardly used or some other idea and boom it just pops up in my feed, the vk is a nice motor in a lot of aspects, aluminum blocks nice and light, the stock engines have really good cam advance and they sounds super crisp , sick build
Check the oils ability to return also. Once built, can also install a deaerator in the supply fitting of your oil reservoir tank. Sump (scavenge) pump supplying reservoir via deaerator, pressure pump supplying engine. Not sure if the deaerator is possible on car oil systems, but it is how its done on gas turbines.
Great video guys. I always love seeing Kye doing what he loves doing most (well work wise) and he looked very happy working on the tune for this build with you guys, especially when he was driving it out on the road. Lucky boy of mine.
As soon as I saw that suction hole in the pickup I thought it looked like a choke point... before that I was thinking maybe the oil pump was sucking the soft line flat. That VK56 sounds epic 👌
This is just about the perfect build for me - I would have mine exactly the same if I had the choice. Very interested in seeing how you solve the oil pressure problem. Great job guys!
Maybe not ideal youtube content but I really enjoy the iterative problem solving process with new, novel stuff. Keep up the awesome work! Ky is coming around to being on the camera too, starting to see more personality
Although the oil pressure issue I am sure was an anticlimax for this episode, the overall build is fucking mint 👌 Once up in the rpm it has that cranky solid cammed small block chev note. Killer Ride and a credit to all involved
Who's coming to Rockynats!?!?
www.rockynats.com.au
Nah, not this year. I already proved it was a good show last year. 😎👍
Going to be up there so might check it out!
This is winning at its best! When you find a problem and can fix it without a full rebuild, it is a good day!!

Yeah, the chart looks a lot like a spring bouncing.
I'd agree but for the fact it wasn't an issue on the engine dyno. Only thing that changed so far as I saw was the oil pan.
We think the oil is foaming with increased engine rpm and the aeration causes pressure loss. There was no issue on the engine dyno.
That's fine except the engine was dyno'd by Nelson and obviously didn't have this issue before it left them

It'll suck more air in than push it, so the angle wont matter. Those filters will be restrictive though
Make a split intake two for the front four trumpets two for the rear four

It’s a regal sports car and a delightful anachronism.

That motor is a beauty for sure, sounds so good too, really cool build guys
That car is a thing of beauty, and it sounds volcanic!!
Although the oil pressure issue I am sure was an anticlimax for this episode, the overall build is fucking mint 👌
Once up in the rpm it has that cranky solid cammed small block chev note.
Killer Ride and a credit to all involved
It sounds so good. Can’t wait to hear when it’s fully tuned.
