really enjoying the build mate. thx for the content. wanting to clarify the total weight figure, is this unladen without fuel, driver, etc? where do you think you will end up fully laden after all mods?
Full tank of fuel, no driver or camping gear. Expecting to be around 2700kg or so which is a bit heavier than I initially wanted. It just adds up so quickly though.
Awesome content man, hey question❓ with the new exhaust, did you change anything with in the ECU? For example turning off the regeneration phase for the DPF? If so how did you do it? Can't find anything on RUclips or google that shows how to remap the ECU etc
Bro was just wondering how you got the bottom bolt from the dump pipe onto the rear housing out a breaker doesn’t fit in and neither does spanner with enough leverage
I have a ratchet head for my breaker bar which allows it to connect at more angles. I also have a selection of crow's feet adaptors which I am pretty sure I used when torquing back up, can't remember if I used them to remove it or got it with the breaker bar and ratchet head.
Great video and content in general. Curiously you didn't mention how the car drives with the new exhaust also a before and after sound comparison and drive by sound comparison would have been good. Did you notice any performance or fuel consumption benefits?
Can't say because it was part of the build where I was constantly adding weight to the car so I didn't bother with any A/B testing. I'd say it drives better at a certain rev range, still the same down low but better at higher revs.
@@TheBrowneTown Thanks for getting back to me on that. I've got a 2014 bt50 and I'm looking at exhausts. I've upgraded the intercooler and replaced piping with aluminum piping and noticed more low down torque and towing is significantly better as well. I've also done a rear muffler delete on my car and I like the way it sounds, but like you I want to remap it later down the track and rather do the exhaust before it.
When I say higher I should say it's probably more mid range, pulls a bit better for overtaking at whatever point the turbo kicks in. So rolling starts it's better but off the line it is sluggish to respond.
Nah most stuff is ok if you're used to using tools, but it's worth knowing how hard to go on it even if you don't have a torque wrench. Like with some suspension parts that are over 200Nm it's good to know that you should be using a long breaker bar with lots of pressure for example.
I do find it useful for low torque things with gaskets, like the transmission case. Makes sure it doesn't get over tightened. Most other stuff you just need a rough idea of how hard to go. Exhaust should be redone after a few heat cycles as the bolts will loosen.
Great video! Keep up the good work! P.S.: I like the fact that you have a calm speech and a zen profile, almost an asmr experience. Cheers!
Haha thanks mate.
Not into the whole *yells at camera to get people excited* thing.
Absolutely loving this content man! Cracking stuff
Thanks mate 👍

Nah my car is 2015 so there's no DPF on this. It goes from the turbo back.
I did get an engine tune done later down the track as well.

Did you come in from the top ?
I’ve got universal joints and a breaker bar
But I can’t seem to get it onto the bolt properly
I remember torquing it all from the top but I can't remember with loosening.

Do you think it’s needed to be torqued?

@@TheBrowneTown yeah was going to say that you’d know how far is pretty good

another cracka
Thanks 👍
