Nice! any news on your Anivil/Forge?
Nick work. I'd say supercharger is only keeping up with engine cfm , will supercharger speed pump more air .😊
What a beast. Great job
I find it odd that people give cars a name 🤔
How's my favourite Australian 😊, i have to take my hat off too you young man on a job well done, what a brilliant truck you're building even though a tadge on the noisy side, ok if you're deaf, you must have very friendly neighbours especially on a Sunday morning 😅. I hope the boat is still afloat will you be giving us a update sometime Tim. All the best Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hey Gary and fantastic to hear from you mate. I do my best to not start it up too early if I have a choice. If I do have to run it early I make sure to be out of the driveway as quickly as practical to not annoy the neighbours. Although that kind of used to me by now lol.
Turbo beanies are worth they weight in gold. Heat stays in and not going to rest of engine bay.
I completely agree mate, I will be getting one on it to save the paint on the firewall 👍
Well done Tim, Nice one mate.
Thanks mate 👍
Noice mate. Have you thought about putting a j pipe on the exhaust. Really can't hear how loud it is. But my son out deleted on his VE Commodore and the drone at 100k was incredible. Never set in the back but my wife said it was unbearable and in the front we were yelling at each other to talk. (I think I'm a bit deaf). But with the J pipes, 100% better. Standing on the street, it just took that edge of the sound. Cheers Graham
I must confess I don't actually know what a j pipe is. I will have to do some research. I have since fitted a big muffler and it much better now.
@@HarpersShed a j pipe. Is a thinner pipe in the shape of a j shape capped at one end. Welded into the exhaust going forward which is capped. I think U don't need it in a j shape. I heard the long the pipe the less drone. But U think a muffler is better. I thinking put 3" exhaust with a hot dog muffler on my 2.8l diesel GQ.
G,day Tim. It has to be fun doing vids. She,s looking good mate gonna be a BEAST. This format is better ya don,t look so shagged like a Sheep Farmer. Seeing what ya done rather than watching ya do stuff works a lot better. I like the way ya tell it like it is. Dam fine build over all. Leave the airscoop on Passenger side just to provide extra cooling air in the Engine room. Sounds like it wants to eat something.......It,s a Runner. Gonna be pretty fuel efficent over all. You going to have sounds on so wouldn,t worry bout deading to much. Keep at it and look forward to when ever ya do ya next vid. no rush ;0)
Lol thanks mate, I have been finding this style of video much easier to produce and takes a lot of filming pressure off. I'm glad that your self and others seem to be enjoying it still.
Just nice to see bloke doing bloky stuff i n there shed as you always have I am unable to now so live through you keep at it mate
Hey Tim, good to see the project now running & legally on the road! looking forward to seeing the finishing bits n bobs. love ya videos...
Thanks mate, a true project is never really done though 😔
Sorry the rb30 didn't work out but this has the torque needed for this beast 👍🏻 great work
All good, one door closes as they say. I have been wanting to fit this engine into a patrol for several years now so I'm excited to finally get it done
Wow can't believe you're back at it. Very nice 👍🏻 I'm subscribed but CZcams has taken a while to promote the vids just found out?
Yeah I think because I haven't been posting as often they are slack with updating subscribers. If you make sure your notifications are on for the channel it should pop up though.
Nice build, couple of sugestions, VDO (& you'll probably find copies online) a pulse converter that can go in line with your tach signal wire to "tune" the orig black & white tacho to the engine. Secondly, ditch the orig alternator, fit an electric vac pump (getting more common in the performance area), then you can run a lot higher output alternator without factoring in the requirement for an engine driven pump!
I have seen some of the signal tuning boxes around and if that dash cluster did work that was the next step.
She’s a beast alright. You need to get another one of those engines for kiara now
I do have a "spare " one but I already have the 6cyl BMW engine all built and ready to go in.
Nice mate. Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Thanks mate hopefully not too big of a gap for the next one
Fantastic! Well done! By the way, it’s “bought” not “brought”. Did you buy it? Then you bought it… yes, I’m way too picky 😐
Awesome video Tim.
Thanks mate
You have a VERY TOLLERANT,wife,lol Enjoy the video Tim. When will there be more on the boat, mate.
Lol yes intend I do. I will do an update video in the not to distant future on the boat .
Hey mate. Good to see your still around slinging wrenches. I like the patrol just above idle on the the freeway of highway. I am the coast up here on vacation, there into sailing up here. Take care my friend.
Thanks mate, you too
What happened to the boat?
The boat is still alive and well. Work has been progressing but at a very slow rate. I will do an update on it in the not too distant future for everyone and put it up on the other channel.
Thanks Tim, sounds like a purring beast! Awesome progress.
It sounds fantastic when your under load
Sound is good
I think old mate, got better deal. I bet U swap because it was rex hunt patrol, cheers Graham.
In the short term he definitely got the better end but now it's all done and on the road I think I have come out onto
@@HarpersShed so true mate, I still U only swap because it was affiliated with Rex Hunt
Twin charge? Cheers Graham
The thought did cross our mind but the plumbing side of it would be a pain in the but
@@HarpersShed but with making interesting video
What makes the motor cooked? Can’t it be fixed? Or too expensive? Or u fixable? In learning and don’t understand
That particular engine had over heating issues due to blocked cooling passenger in the block and head. When something is overheated that bad it will soften the rings and lose compression or will pick on the cylinder walls and scratch them. It is possible to rebuild but not cost effective as it's getting old and parts are hard to come by
that bloody dog
Yeah I hear you mate it carries on all bloody day, not dad's dog its over the back fence
Looks just like the one I have. Mine is from 70s . Runs good
I know this is an old video but remember CZcams is full of videos to help you tear down these motors when you don’t know how. It was hard seeing you with the hammer 😂
enjoying the content
Thanks mate
yehaaaaahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the lateness but I've been saving this one. Anyway a couple of questions for you, is the snorkel now redundant, will you be making a rock guard for the fuel tank, as it appears to be in more of a vulnerable position now that it's under the seating area. Other than that great work and just those little jobs to go but take forever to do. 😅. Laters Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
The black snorkel is no longer going to be used and will come off. I will be making a new one for the drivers side. The tank is rather thick steel so should hold up okay for the type of driving I intend doing
This is awesome 👌
Thanks mate, would have made for a better series if it had actually worked
Tim it’s Jim. I got my girl to watch ya. Subbed she is my Shiela
Lol thanks mate 👍
Really glad you decided to come back.
Me too mate
Good on ya Tim. How are the Bikes getting on?.👍
I sold one and the other is slowly getting put back together
Love the use of wiggy flex couplings , keep the great work
I really like them
Well i commented to myself. Took my sleep stuff before the vid so didnt make it through. Will tonight. Bet torque is impressive. Tim we like your vids cause there real, not tic tok crap that makes you dumber. I dont ness give 2 s about diesels but you are and tell a good story. I do know a bit about small block chev had a few in my day. You post we watch
Donut of course we're pleased to have ya back whether its cars quads or boats, the folks that watch you and dad are like minded of all backgrounds and interests. Basically we love it the good and bad events, you keep it real with all the struggles along this journey that you bravely and entertainingly share with us. PS are there no restrictions in Aus regards noise level on the road with that straight through without the muffler, just I noticed you plugging your ears on the dyno. Good luck mate KR🇬🇧🇬🇼
Thanks mate i appreciate the kind words. Yeah we do have noise level restrictions here, I believe they are 90db but I haven't measured it yet. Being on the dyno is different, it's more the tire noise that gets you and the fact that it's all inside a tin shed make it really loud when doing a run.
@@HarpersShed you entertain us mate and its great to see you dad share the skills and knowledge learnt over the years. There are a great many like me that appreciate your efforts, which we all I guess encourages you to crack on. All the best to the family also.😉👍
Is there an episode 2
I believe there is an episode 2 on that bike.
Great video, got to the end and enjoyed every minute. Great to see new video and love your content but please...do it your pace mate.
Thanks mate I'm glad you enjoyed it, I was worried it dragged on too long..
excellent work, that black smoke did worry me a little... coming along in leaps and bounds, great! any updates on the boat? keep the videos coming {not too much pressure ;-) }
I will put together a boat update episode shortly
Would be interested if your mate is selling the rocker cover gaskets and spreader plates
I will go into a bit more detail in these in the next episode. I'm sure if there is enough interest we can make a few sets
Great build video. Was great to see the power & torque figures that actually make it to the ground. As a 6.5 owner in a patrol myself. I have always been curious as too how much torque ( in particular ), these things put to the ground. Well done 👍
Thanks mate, from the little I have driven it so far and the dyno graph I can say they put down shit loads of torque but it's all way down low in the rpm. To put it in comparison we started my dyno pull from 40kph in 4 gear. At 50kph I was making 400nm torque. A normal late model dual cab ute the run starts at 80kph and won't make that much torque until well over 120kph. I think most of the issues people have when doing the 6.5 swap is not doing the diff gear ratio change to keep the engine in the happy rev range. I have 3.9:1 now but feel that 3.5:1 would be the best for the torque range for the engine
Legend thanks for the Video!👍
It actually gets quieter when you rev it, hahaha.
The exhaust is way quieter then the engine noise
@@HarpersShed Yeah and the diesel knock goes away when you rev it. Only time ive ever considered that getting on it going past a cop might be the optimal move...
@@NoMatureContent she is still just loud whatever way you go. I will be getting it all put engineering so I don't have any issues with the boys in blue
Awesome work mate 👌👍
Rather Rexy than Patsy lol
Lol true
Good job
What a Beast... I want one. 😮😅 Great job mate. 😂 I would just run air filter back across to passenger side as plenty room back of Radiator. 😮 Set it up with quick disconnects either side of Radiator. Save a lot mucking about.😂 A bit of jiggery pokey to get her failed in😮. Excellent job on the go fast bonnet scoop. Great channel ya no bullshit sorta guy tell it like it is. Keep at it lad.😅
Thanks man, yeah I looked at lots of ways to make it go across the passenger side but the hassle wasn't worth the effort in the end.
That would sound great on person
It sounds sick
