It’s so cool cool seeing a bunch of mates doing stuff for a mate. You’re a bloody star Al
Also I’m 47 and finally got proper glasses this year. Best recent decision I’ve made, 10/10 would recommend
Probably one of the most understated and underrated Genius on the interwebs.
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks so!
The value of second hand Volvo 940s must have risen with this video.
There's something special about Al's style and know how that makes for compelling viewing. I guess calling a spade a spade and his Aussie way of explanation is the difference. Nice video.
Must be his soothing voice and yoda like vibe.
More like he calls a spade a shovel and if you don't like it, he'll hit you over the head with it.
Indeed!
Best internal gate mod is welding the flapper over the port and putting an external gate on the exhaust manifold
External gate on the housing is also acceptable.
Both of you guys are right, sadly getting a external gate isn't as budget as a 30$ upgraded flap, and welding the housing is tricky I guess later down the road Juzzy would put a external gate on if he were to change the turbo
customer's budget is one big constraint you have to keep in mind + not everyone can afford top shelf solutions.
Props to good techs who can provide cheaper options with their knowledge and experience.
Is the air filter backwards or is this a thing where you unfold the rubber and clamp it on?
@@0643052 for sure
Nice work Al! Hate to say it but I would have loved to see you port that turbo. If you ever have to do it again please film the whole process :)
Yeah mate, I totally second this. Tips on porting in general (turbo, head, etc) would make a really awesome episode, because it's fairly accessible modification.
Noted. Was not possible to do solo with my camera skills.
These are quite relaxing to watch, bit of a break in a way and I like it.
Agree, prefer this and nugget garage over mcm and other channels now
it is damn relaxing...
With our combined 19mins of milling experience I'd say that's spot on 👌🏻
Don't exaggerate, he only has 13 minutes of milling machine experience. lol 19 minutes, you're trying to make out like he is some kind of expert at it...
I just got my signed "use ya brain" garage flag. Thanks Al you absolute legend! I'm going to hang it right behind where I sit in my office so everyone can see it on my webcam during meetings.
Your ramblings are what get me through my day
Al's so great, just an aussie bloke who knows his stuff really well, loves what he does and is a pleasure to watch work... Makes me wonder who these (at the time of posting) 33 haters are who can't appreciate true genius when they see it.
" Hooray for Volvos ! " : Al 2020. Never ever thought I would hear Al say those words :)
hahaha "I don't know if the cameras in focus because my eyes wont focus"
Can we get that on a shirt please. You with a monicle examining some sort of device holding a camera in the other hand. Caricature style
Damn this Torana, hooray for volvos is not a common phrase I hear 🤣🤣 good stuff guys
Al, you remind me so much of my old panel beating trade school teacher. He always used to tell me "if you can't work it out, then just gently work it back in"
28:14 "Stupid metric size"
Never have I been more disappointed in you, Alan.
Can't buy hose thats 12mm.
I paused video and came straight down here to the comments... ahhh there you are.
So looking forward to seeing this start. Great project. Hearing Al praising Volvo is something I didn't know I needed in life, but he sounds almost giddy about working on the Volvo compared to the Torana.
Love how this one is coming along. Going to be a nice sleeper.
I see them DT connectors and crimpers Alan!
Get back to work on the Kia lol
@@austindoud273 Ha.
when u getting your little nugget finished
It's cool seeing Matt comment on skid factory
Dumb terminal?
I did a turbo engine swap on my 940 and found they fitted high pressure pumps in the tank on the later ones ! Had to swap all the pipes from the tank over which was interesting. I'd really love a V8 in it though but not sure how easy it would be to get the Toyota engine here in the UK. Great to see it all fits in so well, thanks for the videos.
That Toyota V8 was in the Lexus LS400, GS400 and SC400, not too hard to get hold of.
The wiring time lapse was a nice addition.
Love the sleeper look, very clean!
Love the double time shots of Al working.
34 minutes of Al rambling. Best half hour and a bit of my week!
The percentage is huge 😁
Loving the feel of this build guys, friends and family are what makes this world go round and to be able to give back like this is amazing.
good point about starter motor in middle for conversions making it easier for clearance for conversions
PowerCube(TM) + Unsuspecting Dad Joke on four wheels = Sleepah!
Well, as AvE says you know you're still doing it right if the smoke hasn't come out of her.
Also as AvE would say: "Focus you faaaack!"
Love the cylinder heads for packing on the clamps! Bloody genius
Great job mate We could put up with you rambling all day
Love how Al explains everything so thoroughly 👌 makes you keep watching to see what’s going on
Thanks for showing your method of IWG porting Al. I did mine leaving the standard flap and a frigging die grinder but was also worried if I went to thin that the port housing would crack!
A tip for some people doing it without a workshop is use a magnet that's plastic wrapped or similar so it catches every bit of swarf and then is easily dumped in the bin by removing the plastic otherwise just a magnet will fill your fingers with death metal! Lol
I like the factory wheels for the sleeper look 👀.
Late to the party, but the "resistor" on the OE pump is actually an Inductor! It's there to stop high frequency electrical noise from the pump motors commutation (the "brushes") from interfering with the radio !
Clean work gents!
Was sad at the time when Al left AMauto, ive learned so much last years trough this channel, thanks alot! Hopefully years to come 👌👌🚗💨
This could be one of the best cars you guys have done yet. Very cool.
That install looks amazing!
The bestest down-to-earth car builds show 👌
Crack a cold one and listen to Al soothingly dropping knowledge bombs is the best way to spend your evening I think. 👌
I hear ya Al. I finally gave in and got myself some reading glasses. They are awesome 😆😉
Al that mill work makes me happy. When you mentioned about modifying the housing I was wondering what solution you would come up with, and you did not disappoint!
Love this channel, been going through a bunch of the older video's I've missed since subbing. Love the work!!!! Always great results and I learn so much, the finder details you add from your years of experience are priceless!
Absolute champ. Big fan of the channel.
reminds me of old school USA car shows.
just phoned a mate who is powering up his barra about waste gate sizes and changing his turbo.. thankful he was .
Compression fitting Al...lol
Never heard it called an olive before...;)
Nice work Mate. WISH you were my mate and hook up my ride. Your a good man. Paying it forward. Mad respect.
Think this is now my favourite build on CZcams... 940's ftw 🤣
10:32 Plenty of ways to hold that housing square and secure. The spacers you have referencing the opposing face would be my first choice as well. If they had a bore you could also pull straight down through the middle. Another option would be to use a 90 degree angle plate/block bolted to the T3 flange. If unsure about overhang or having issues with vibrations then fit small adjustable jacks under the overhang for support and clamp down over them.
7:40 When quality parts exist.
I am definitely feeling the turbo V8 Volvo vibe
Totally lost when it comes to wiring but alan just gives me that hope of understanding 🤣👍🏼
Love when you guys do 1uz stuffs.
"... small relay in that... ignition on reverses the polarity..."
The Doctor - "You're welcome..."
Have to agree Al, starter in the valley is a great idea. They fail even less when they don't have red hot exhaust headers inches away from them.
12:50 min, good to hear the MR2 is back.
Mate I could listen to you ramble every day, because I always learn something.
Woody is lucky to be working with ya!
Not that he necessarly needs teaching (though please elaborate :D), but I feel like it would be hard to not pick up stuff if you're in that workshop :)
Also... he built Supergramps! Turbo Yoda is impossible to hate.
a shit load of work?!! You R D MAN!!!
Gotta love a good surprise mate build!!! Good job boys
Getting into it on a Sunday. What a good mate
Love ya work al!!
Satisfaction guaranteed
I gotta agree with starter in the valley being good. In 16yrs I've never replaced a starter in the valley. Sounds like a bad idea from a service stand point, but I haven't seen them fail.
love me a volvo, its the sleepy dorkiness of them but there so solid.
Good one
Please Al come to Sweden and convert all our kidzz 940’s to turbo V8. I can’t stand the sound of all them haunted B230 whilst trying to do mad not so mad skids in every corner.
Petter Gårdö dont forget the fan "whooom" when viscous coupling is rusted to one piece and the fan sounds like jet taking off when revving the engine :D
Anyone else hear that Wild Roar between 4:40-4:44? Geez Al, what did you have for breakfast Mate...
Iridium fine wire plugs are heaps better than stock copper plugs. Hugely improved in any marginal ignition situation.
The last out take reminds me of when I went to buy a new tv without my glasses. I couldn't tell the difference between a 2k tv and a $600
Reverse the polarity... Hihihi... Good line... I wonder if he watched Doctor Who?...
No Lemon Squashes for Al when he's by himself?
Golden era where Volvo wagons where RWD...😭😭😭
Ahh , Satisfaction should be the next shirt !
Dey took er jerbs.
Man up and get the glasses Al!
Nice work as always, thanks for the video!
Great Job All👍.
Love your ramblings mate
Ramble on Sir.
Love this style of vid yoda! Pretty damn cool
The flying brick!
That nicknames already taken by the BMW k75/K100’s!
I used to own a '92 940 Estate (wagon) and dreamt of doing this to it! Absolute UNIT of a car!
The iridium plugs are great for demanding applications. We have 2 cars converted to LPG, an 08 Corolla & an 87 Hilux. Both would fall on their face when accelerating from a stop with the plugs specified for petrol. Went down a heat range & converted to iridium & the problems were gone. LPG is harder to ignite than petrol, which I presume is a problem you also encounter with boost. Interested to hear how you go.
Great work.
Circles: +41% in diameter is +100% cross sectional area.
Mmmm. Satisfaction indeed!
Thanks for these Al, You've opened my eyes to all the other great engine platforms out there. To this southern Alberta car guy...I didn't even know there were options besides the LS :)
And this donk even looks nice.
Starters in the valley are a good idea Al?
Clearly haven't changed too many 1VD starters 300m underground on the side of a decline! i tell ya, was never singing their praises after that!
Edit: This came across a bit pointed re-reading it, ment to be tongue in cheek, not having a go at Al!
Doing any engine work underground in the dark on a decline while covered in oil/mud and coal is crap ahhh
Just a shame any water/mud that gets into the valley drains through the starter :(
Do a starter on any V engined 4wd in an underground mine and compare.
Now I think about it, there is no good starter change down the hole unless its a 1HZ.
Just makes me happy im driving steam boilers and turbines these days and not still swinging spanners in the mud!
@@Skinna001 Ahh you get to a point where you are not the lacky with the fun jobs.
Aaaaahhhhhhh.........satisfaction!
Looked in focus to me
Good stuff!
Nice vid be a special volvo. An hell of a good bday prez cheers.
You forgot to safety squint when you were grinding ;-)
My eyelids are truly athletic - they’ve saved my eyes from broken grinding discs so many times. 🤣
Rumour has it, that Woody has been locked inside the truck of the Torana. That is why he isn't in todays episode.
*boot
*trunk
@@tomahoks he is actually in hospital having his left foot removed from his mouth.
I've passed on a couple of LS400's because the starter motor was on the way out and I didn't want to deal with taking the manifold off to get to it, so they do fail from time to time, but I don't think its more common than any other car really.
23:40 I have to admit I really miss installing speakers in Volvo door panels because you can do a lot of cool stuff and make enclosures for them unlike how you do it in other vehicles we have to install it inside the actual indoor metal itself personally this is my preference but it also brings some new problems
The ol bedford blues
Quick Noodels???
That is something only single guys and girls eat!
12:19 Instead of milling your sealing surface parallel with the inlet I think you could taper it. High side away from the arm, tapering down towards the arm. I can't quite tell where the catch is though.
