    You have the best skills on the internet for building amazing cars and also the worst taste in music and editing skills. looks like fun though

      Haha thanks mate. Music is a hard one, I find it really challenging to find non-copy right music that fits well, if I was able to use music that I actually like it would be a lot better!
      Editing, happy to take on constructive criticism. I don’t have the resources to produce a high quality polished video and would happily take on tips. Know of a low budget channel that edits well for reference?

    Best channel on the tube. Love ya work. Just noticed your oil pressure is quite low. Is the haltech calibration correct? What grade oil are you running?

    • @DesignedandBuilt
      @DesignedandBuilt  Před rokem +1

      Thanks Mike!! Running 5-40w! I think the Haltech calibration is correct. It is much higher on startup (60-70) but as the oil gets hot it comes down which makes sense! Yeah I’m pretty sure the calibration is correct. It’s done 12,000k and plenty of WOT and engine seems to be all good. Do you know what it’s supposed to be?

    • @SHOCKcustoms
      @SHOCKcustoms Před rokem +2

      @@DesignedandBuilt yeah i think you should try a thicker oil, penrite 20w60 will help. Especially on long hot trips. You should see round 50 on the oil pressure guage even when hot. At Idle should be around 30-40. I was actually shocked at how low your guage is reading at Highway speeds. How many km on the engine when you got it? 20w50 will work too. Depends how many km on the donk.

    • @SHOCKcustoms
      @SHOCKcustoms Před rokem +2

      @@DesignedandBuilt just did some research to back up my suggestions and my estimates for healthy oil pressure in the barra is about what you should see. I've got a few barra powered cars and all run 50+ oil pressure (including a 460rwkw car which gets flogged at the track and does long interstate trips - with stock pump gears and stock backing plate) when cruising. I recommend you investigate it as youll lunch the engine eventually with such low oil pressure. But start with a thicker grade oil especially with 110km on the donk. Cheers. Love the channel and your engineering expertise👍

      Yeah great question Richard, 90-100 normally but it gets a little hot on the soft sand! Kinda locked into that same 75 series rad, hesitant to make something custom for reliability sake so might look into an external oil cooler.
