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.
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). 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
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.
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... 😎🤟
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!!
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!
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
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
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.
"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.
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.
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
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.
E85 has really changed everything. Getting +100HP per liter is "trivial" these days. Back in the day that would require a meth+water injection or full gasser setup. Both of which were super temperamental and the eternal killer of engines.
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
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
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 TH-cam
@@lachlanmcwilliam670thanks mate ❤️

One of the undeniable things that make LS a great platform is the ability of the stock bottom end.
That VK Commodore it looks amazing goes really fast 670HP Well Done
That roll cage is incredibly unobtrusive. Very well done.

Thanks for coming up to Rocky again mate. We love the Skid Factory up here!
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!!
BIG fan of these Dyno vids, thanks!!
Thanks brother, great job getting a video up every week. Keep up the hard work.
We appreciate it🎉
Can learn so much listening to Kye.
Absolutely LOVING the woodrigo factory, cant wait for bigger and better things to come.
Picture how smart the people are that designed the Haltec system. Tuning such a complex management system is something else.
Top work.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
Nice VK!
Always love the dyno content with Kye, thanks Woody.
very neat looking VK, keeping it stock looking with a nice surprise in the powertrain.
Kye is the new al.., good work woody, love the skid factory!!
love your work Woody , looking forward to the next one 👍
Beautiful work from RK garage
Liking and commenting to support you. Good job, keep up the good work bro 👍
Loving the videos. Keep ‘em coming Woody.
Well done Woody.
VK's are awesome, I like the more robust look than the VL. I had a fuel injected Executive back in the day.
Nice car. That front bar butchery makes baby jesus cry though
Yeah it’s getting a new bonnet and front bar soon enough
Kye has the experience. Can't replace that.
Videos are all great mate. well done and keep them comming
Would have to be my absolute dream build right there. Such a stylish ride the old VK
Love the content bro Killing it Woody!!
would love to see more drive along content!
Goodness that's a beautiful build! 👏

They came out here with the option for a V8.
Thanks woodie
im no expert but that cage install looks excellent
Very nice car.
Thankyou for the video
See you at rocky nats 👍👍🍻🍻🍻
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
plumbed back wastegates makes baby jesus cry 😢
my favorite car on the show
Bad ass woody always love the vids bro and the builds!!
Good work woody
Boosted Commodore content...nice
Plenty more to come!!
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
Keep it up 🪵y the 📹 are going awesome 👌
Yo, notification squad from upover 😅 💪
Edit: loved the video! AL is/was great but you're doing great too! :)
Damn thats a slick build. I even approve the cream interior. Gonna be hard to keep it that clean tho. 😆
Love the LS content!
Great video well done guy's

Kye is a wizard 😮
those spark plugs are so clean, unlike the dark brown on mine... recirculating exhaust valve leak.
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.

I have a Chevy caprice which I think is a WM Holden statesman? I’m stoked for more LS/Holden stuff
What a beast 😮
LS gang 🇦🇺
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! 👍
Love it Woody
I would love to do this in a EURO-spec 80's Opel Senator😀
I resd the title as Iron Lion lol
Youre the only dude ive ever heard call the 5.0 The Iron Lion.
Killing it
See you at Rockynats
See you there man!
Variants of those IAC's come on 5.4L, 6.8L fords. Should be plenty, if you have the right one.
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.
Love it
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
Goodonya 👍👍🇦🇺
Nice and shiny
Fark that bay would get HOT! Any reason theres no beanie and wrap or ceramic coat?
Living on the ragged edge,.
The mounting block for that IAC must have small passages/hoses, mercruiser uses them on 496, and 502 ci big blocks
Wat brand and where to get Alternator bracket from. Cheers 👍 love the show 🎉
Ya doing good bro 👍
Still Probly worth retensioning the heads down after the dyno runs
Never seen one of those before 😂😂😂
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.
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
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
How's Als mates twin turbo 351 ute going? Any chance we could get some future content on it Woody?
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.
How do the auto transmissions work on these cars? In the UK I only ever see standard Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive.
E85 has really changed everything. Getting +100HP per liter is "trivial" these days. Back in the day that would require a meth+water injection or full gasser setup. Both of which were super temperamental and the eternal killer of engines.
When was that cage blue plated? I miss forward hoops :’(
Is there a way of running a stand alone drive By wire with 2000 sports?
Many standalone dbw controllers about now.
High mount alternator? Who makes this style?
Can we get a link for the alternator relocation kit?
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. 👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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!!
street car - cruiser - 6.0l with a fk off turbo lol - shows he's around proper race applications a lot.
Wondering if anyome knows what model Sparco seats are in the VK?
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 :)
❤👍💪👌
For all you kiwis, hot rods and harleys 16 March dargaville
"Not for long" 🤣
What's wazzas next build
You gonna build something soon Woody?
I’ve got heaps of builds planned man! Still setting up the workshop though so it’s a bit hard to juggle everything at once!
Hey Woody hot tip.. don't look at the sun ya chooch. Killer epp
Dam that’s bright
