Today on The Skid Factory, the cylinder heads are back from the Machinist and ready to be bolted on.
The Engine is then refitted back into the car and Al mounts up the Plazmaman intercooler and makes a custom lower radiator support bar.

Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy.
i love how Al knows all of the cheapest ways of doing things, yet he doesn't cut any corners. It's the cheapest most reasonable way to do the job correctly.
Awww, not once did Al call it Dirt Squirting :P
But the real MVP here is Woody. After a day of ripping it up on the bike, he comes home tired and edits this up for us. Thanks mate
I like Kramer peaking through the bonnet hole. His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit.
If you decide to do another "workshop" series, I for one wouldn't mind a more in-depth about those exhaust manifolds.
Thanks.
My mate actually made this intercooler, cool to see it being used in this build.
Tell him I'm sorry for putting shit welds over his artwork.
Not that i would ever bag out your fab skills guys, but the fella who done the CAD work on the headers should be on the payroll! They look like professionally made units, and if you had of said they came from Goleby's i don't think anyone would have given a second thought given just how good they look. Great work mate !!
Chris is a legend!
@@davidfraser6346 with an awesome 'hobby'
The knowledge and the thought process that oozes out of Turbo Yoda is amazing
Don't think we don't notice those production values! You're sneakily getting a bit pro on us there. Seeing some very smooth and slick camera shots and lighting, well done boys.
mirrored turbos, can't say it enough, they look bloody great.
P.S. more trolling from Dave please.
WOW! That is one damn cool designed manifold!
Indeed and piece of art I'd say!
Music in the start of this episode was so much better than in past episodes. Well done fellas.
Thanks for the mention Al 😁🤙
When are we going to see more of Woody and Al on MVDBR
@@robertgill3391 soon hopefully, no one puts it up a tree quite like a woody 👌
I have a WM Statesman. In the U.S., they're called "Chevrolet Caprice". But I know what time it is lol shout out to turbo V8's. I plan on boosting my "Caprice" engine designation L77. Cheers! From Dallas, Texas.
Those symmetrical turbos look mint 👌
Those manifolds look fantastic. Credit to the bloke that made them . Great work from Al and Woody as per usual , loving this build.
Chris. Not a professional fabricator. WOW. Nice work!
Only brilliant patrols flex chassis like sick giraffes, depends all on what state body mounts are in, love the content lads
Don't know what to say got goosebumps all over when i saw the manifold match the cathedrals i know it's only metal but i think i'm in love with the engine!! ☺☺☺ keep up the great work guys catchya in the next episode!!

Everyone love billet! Billet billet billet, I’m loving those cast valve covers!
Giggling like a school girl... well played david 😂
Al trolled us with the thumbnail showing the turbos mounted, and then doesn't show that happening. It's trolls all the way down!
@@sireuchre Didnt you watch the video? It clearly shows the turbos mounted :P
@@primycha I scrolled back through and I must've sneezed for the literal 2 seconds of video where he shows it. 20 minutes of video for 2 seconds of the thumbnail of action - that's still a hell of a tease.
That manifold is absolutely insane. Chris is an absolute wizard.
Those manifolds look amazing!
Like watching a Hagerty engine rebuild with that music.
I like the bar you added across the bottom of the core support it looks a lot beefier then the deal you cut out!
you guys are the best on youtube in my opinion 😊👍 i will become a patreon, so you can have even more cold and refreshing lemon squashes 👌
Woody is like a second Sun to you AL lol .👍🏻 TeamWork makes the DreamWork
Third Son.
Bingeing on this, better than any netflix show.
You guys are an absolute bunch of legends. Love your work and love the camio on project binky !!!! Awesome to see that after your busy days you still have time left to watch each other's shows.
1:26 Hafthor Bjornsson represent.. (if you know, you know.)
Intro
Nice plug on the MVDBR stuff! Man those turbos look so tough sitting there!
I always get a chuckle everytime I hear you guys down under refer to a Motorcycle and a Motorbike.
You should hear what we call Americans
What do you call 'em?
AL wrenching by himself is very therapeutic to me
Not hard to tell someone has used tools for a very long time.
Woody's b-rolls are getting alot better! Great job
Apparently Sheryl has had plenty of hole sores... 👌👌
We're gonna need some sauce on that.
those manifolds are sick
Project looking sweet Al, hope you ripped up the woods and came home safe.
Woods, nope mate not golf, he was out on his KTM
I haven't melted any of my own holesaws. I have melted alot of my mates though haha 😂
This channel just keeps getting better and better. Well done guys. Thanks for the highlight of my week
Don't you just love a good gusset ;)
Gusset is right up there with moist as a word.
@@theskidfactory moist definitely wins this one
I melted 3 hole saws on the same cut for an o2 sensor bund at work yesterday
there is massive twist in car chassis, I jammed my fingers in between the door and jamb when the door was shut once. lowered evo1, driving on an angle into a steep driveway and the door gap opened up while i had my fingers touching the door rubbers. when the gap opened up my digits slipped in and then the car got all fours on the same plain and closed the gap.
Ive been having trouble with clearance with my radiator and intercooler on my project but couldnt find a way of making it strong but neat aswell, and now watching this episode and seeing how the lower bar was made i think my problem is solved 👌 thanks guys, love the content and love how things are explained!!
In his element this Yoda is. Own devices, left to, he must be. Only then will his true mastery be revealed.
The bonnet has a hole for the engine hoist! Perfect!
I set my 240 volt drill on fire trying to hole saw out several 75mm hole into 13mm aluminium making supercharger flanges I've never smelt something so toxic than that drill motor on fire. Still got the job done and I invested in a good drill press.
Those BMW radiators must be good, Al uses them for everything! Looks like a versatile bit of kit, if you know how to mount it. Another awesome video, cheers guys some good engineering topics, like the body flex and rubber mounted components.
Nice cameo on project binky mate.
May have already been pointed out but................Instructions with quality holesaws (Millers Falls or Stanley perhaps) say maximum speed not more than 50 feet per sec. straight line cutting speed. Slower the better so long as you are getting swarf. If you stick to something under that (50fps) keep them cool & use recommended cutting fluid they will give good service.
The 4" holesaw we replaced is about 5 years old.
Interesting, that's a sexy looking hidden wagon back there...
Nice BOM Cameo
Love the Binky cameo! 👍
Brilliant episode guys.
Loving the Hagerty theme build music👌
137, which coincidentally is the same number of holes I've drilled
Drier than a nuns here in WA. Looking forward to some traction on the dirt squirts! Have some fun out there 👌
The amount of awesome fab work and amount of time put into these builds is incredible guys keep up the good work !
Al is the only one in the world that likes that BMW went from NA to turbo....
I have melted exactly
*rummages in tool box*
Um....
All of them.
All the hole saws are melted
You should do an episode where you take us through the process of making those headers. And if possible, do a dyno run with old and new headers, just to compare if it makes more power or not.
Pardon me while I gush but your video quality is outstanding.
First!
This is a nice way to start a Sunday morning!! :-D
Love the content. Top work as usual.
I know feeds and speeds so I save hole saws.
Sunday Night Skids 🔥👌
not a professional fabricator, ahhh looks pretty pro to me!
fabrication looks legit on the C.A.D headders, also love the MVDBR 10 Emmsies TEE.. :D
"My mate made these manifolds, hes not a professional".
Errrr.. depends on your interpretation of professional i suppose. I would be more than happy to have paid money for those.
New music is AWESOME!
Amazing soundtrack this episode
Watching again, those exhaust manifolds are wild.
Just noticed the view through the bonnet at 6:27
Amazing work... and enlightening too...
1:26 Oh God, not you guys too. 🤦 I swear this song has gone viral since I first saw Brent & Jamie marching out to it like a WWE tag team on PFI Speed. 😁👍
When I hear the song all I can think of is the bat rod
I think of hafthor bjornsson
I think of AutoExpertTV and the ming moles 👍
@@Laz_Arus He was the 4th person to use it, in-between Overtaking Lane and Skid Factory.
You guys should run the barra mustang at Haltech World cup Finals True Street class 2020! It's an event like no other, put on by one of your supporters!!
Melted my first holesaw in 2004 fitting a cheap (by standards of the day) and nasty (by any standards) FMIC kit to my R32 GTS-T.
Love your work guys.
Just a thought for a techalk thing, mainfolds vs headers vs tuned extractors on turbo builds...
Logs for life!
My boss provides wood hole saws to drill through sheet metal. Plenty of "cheaper" hole saw melted. A good metal one could last a year, these last 3 weeks. At one hole per week average...
Loving the music fellas 🎧
I was having PFI Speed flashbacks with the music while your engine build was going on..
Music is on point 👍
Great video guys and to answer Woody's questions, shit loads of melted hole saws, I'm a sheetmetal worker by trade and yeah I've killed my share of hole saws 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
notold37 holesaw gang 🤘
All my holesaws are complete crap. It's like they come from the store that way
The Orange glow they make hurts my eyes....
@@truthseeker8483 Just means you gotta run em a bit faster, spin some of that heat away.
@@Spooly_ Yes but by then my drill is also glowing red... :-D
Use a sprayer filled with fresh urine to take the glow away
@@MangoVisionn ewwww
diggin the music dudes
Don't we all love a good gusset.
Can never have enough brackets
Just like binky 😂😂
Could've got a another episode showing us how to make that bumper bracket.
Great stuff Guys.
Re-using hole saws? Interesting concept...
Totally sick fab..
It looks like a Rolls Royce with that intercooler out like that ha
Hi.... I've owned a vr 5.0L statesman for 12 or so years or so
VERY loyal car, had to do general stuff but what a car......
Has it's issues, had to but a more economic car for work, stupid me bought a lemon of a 2000 318 e46.
Wife says 'sell the stato to fix the Beemer ' I'm thinking the other way.
I think it would be a killer build, rather it go to u guys (free) than sell it for next to nothing......
Love what u guys are about..
Sell the BMW and fix the stato.
@@theskidfactory will do
Its a brainer
This is a great show.Nice music boys,sounds like the Pfi/boostedboiz 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Melted zero holesaws....it's all about peripheral speed bruz!
I like the new music
Half a minute in and I know I’m going to get a chub in the video.
How you guys finding the toolpro stuff you've started using?
Been using their ratchets and sockets but the 12v stuff looks decent for the price
James Creaton loving it mate! The 12v Range is awesome!
The Skid Factory ah crap, my wallet only just recovered after getting a new welder! Here we go again little guy...
James, I've got the following things off ToolPro:
3 Ton Floor Jack, Spring Compressors, Bearing Puller kit, 6-32mm spanner set. None of them have failed me yet. 👍
Price for performance, some of the best stuff on the market.
as its 12v should be easy to make up an adapter with some leads so you can run it off the car battery and use them out on the road
@@transdimensionalist Easier to charge the 12v from the 12v and keep using them as cordless tools.
looks great
Lol. Manufacturing intolerances. Was it the VK that would have beer cans in them from factory or only the HT?
THANK YOU OTHER DETAIL VIDEO
Good stuff!
