An amazing build! Watched since you guys were in the drive way! I am a RUclips partner i have a gaming channel! DOnt stop being awesome. Age is a number! I have a 2006 rsx k24 swapped maybe Turbo one day its just i love the reliability of it!
Hey Guys I really hope that this post gets noticed on the grounds of an Urgent FYI engine issue at 20.05. The aftermarket oil sump and oil pick up tube kit you've purchased has a serious issue with the pick tube! Recently we've had two customers with oil starvation issues with this kit (or a very similar looking version if not exact), and in one of two cases it has resulted in severe engine damage. The pick up tubes vibrate with with the usual RB engine harmonics and snap of at the lower welded seam at the two bolt flange. We can Highly suggest tig welding a support leg bracket as per the factory part to help with this before it's too late. Hopefully this gets a view. Cheers for the amazing work MCM!
I had a good look at it when we fitted it and the welds appeared to the done well, not undercut. If it had obvious issues we would have looked into it. It's a CX oil pan. Don't know if thats good or bad but that's modified car life. Haltech oil pressure protection FTW.
@@alanbutler8253 CX is generally really cheap parts. I'm not sure if you have a lot of their stuff in Australia, but in the U.S. they are basically Chinese/Taiwanese generic ebay items all sold under one brand.
@@matthewtaylor3308yeah but it's so seamlessly integrated into the content that you never feel like you're taking an ad break. They just casually mention whatever too they're using at the moment and move on. Big difference from "let me take a moment to thank the sponsor of this video"
There's an old joke about Chevrolet calling on Holden (both GM) to improve their cars, perpetuated by Jeremy Clarkson on an episode of Top Gear... The Australians know a thing or two from time to time.
😩 watched a cleetus video the other day when they referred to a video from 6 years ago. I can only assume that RUclips years are like dog years and it’s actually been 6 months 😂
Saw Al, instantly hit the like button. Al makes every video 110%, he's an everyday bloke, with colossal knowledge, and a cracking sense of humour. I'm so glad he's in this world. Much love Al. 🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻
I helped build the 240's rollcage! 😊 i used to work at the rollcage manufacturer AGI and was part of the crew who built and installed it. I even ended up on the show a few times and even unicorn circuit
Al is just a great guy in general, a legend in all he does. When I got to meet him when he was in the US, He and Benny both were just polite and down to earth. Only got like 5 words with Woody but cannot forget him as well. He was constantly busy the day I got to meet them. I still have the metal cup that fell out of the trailer when they left lol.
I wish the 240 got featured more, along with the mini. Even if they aren't being tuned up, would be cool to see some track days or something periodically.
Having watched from the early days and seeing how much turbo yoda has gotten more comfortable being on camera here and on Skid Factory is great! Mans got so much knowledge on so much the people should know!
Turbo Yoda! Dang-o I miss him on youtube. The depth of knowledge, know-how, and hacks in his mind made Skid Factory videos a high point in this media. He's forgotten more build tricks than I'll ever know. A big ol' 'Thanks' for the welding cast iron bit many years ago (preheat and insulate). It's come in handy. 🤘🤘👍👍
I started watching MCM back in high school 11 years ago learning t how to turbo series in the Miata lol. Im now 28 and after a decade+ of life I started to rewatch MCM and this brings me back so much. I now have a v37 skyline(q50) I 6MT swapped and will be sticking a vr38 in it to recreate the most modern skyline GTR. Please have turbo yoda back more often I remember thinking this guy is a car super hero when I was 17 lol
Turbo Yoda is the best character/person of any YT content I have ever watched period. This, together with the original 240z build is peak content for me. and 240z, then RX-7, then nothing comes close.
It's true, there is a point where a car is just beyond usable. Getting closer to original design intentions of a car just makes it so much more enjoyable
Nah, sorry Marty; Moog's right about the 240 being the best car in the MCM garage. Legendary car, legendary engine, legendary build, legendary friends, legendary channel, you absolute legends.
I did this type of thing you're doing with the 26 a few years ago with my 1JZ vvti. I removed the big, laggy single and fitted more modern twin turbos. Car made more power, and greater response I wasn't a huge fan of waiting until 4000rpm, then having the turbo go nuts. Felt crazy, but not awesome in traffic.
Al is spot on (as usual) - I have an Aussie-delivered 240Z with an L28 turbo. But if I was building the same car today, that would not be my choice of powerplant. It's just getting too rare and disproportionately expensive to gather all the bits to make a good one - and that's on top of the car itself being 50 years old!
I remeber watching the original build when I first started the build on my R34 gtt. Now the 240z is getting it's second rebuild and mine is still on jack stands. Granted had many other nuggets during that time that took time and money away from the build. Time flies...........
It's weird thinking that I never expected to own anything like this when I originally watched the 240z build, but in an interesting turn of events I've recently bought an R32 GTR so I'm pretty hyped for you guys to work on an RB26 again
Marty and moog, I’ve been watching for year upon years I just want to tell you both I am thankful For your content and I’m grateful for your personalities. This channel has helped me through some real BS and I want you to know I appreciate you! From Southern California I say thank you to both of you and turbo yoda!
This made my day. It’s good to see Alan dispensing his craft and towards an awesome project. I still need more Alan wisdom though. Old school skid factory rules.
This was one of my favourite builds on the channel. Really enjoyed this episode, loved listening to Al explain how you’re going to change things and why. Can’t wait to see it on the dyno. I’m currently building an SR20 and everyone wants you to make 1000bhp but those people never drive on the roads. I just want a good chunk of bhp and it to be on boost as quick as possible
I know what I'm going to do, watch every episode and when it's complete I'll watch it again. I must have watched the original 5-6 times. Thank you and I hope you get the band back together for this epic build.
Turbo Yoda, Encyclopedia of knowledge he is, good to see Al back with the boys, I am dying to see the reuse of the ITB'S once again and how they will be controlled with the DBW throttle pedal and motors , next episode will be epic, a friend of mine just got a new turbo for his Volvo 850 wagon and his mechanic said it was easier to install than the original , the new one could be clocked and was all V-bands, slightly smaller, spools up much faster and the torque curve was linear and covered about 400 more RPMS and also had better cooling built in than the original one and could produce another 15 pounds of boost, the mechanic said that is allot, driving the car now for about 2 months he said the horsepower it has feels like its twice as usable as the old one and even gets 1 1/2 better MPG when his foot isn't on the floor 😂
Man. Mad respect for keeping this channel going. Always gets me motivated to go wrench on my own car, and then daydream of what else I could buy / want work on.
This car is still in amazing condition. I think this was the first car I ever watched you guys put together and it still looks every bit as good. Great work guys
This build series finale brought me to tears!! Not even embarrassed to say. That intro with the music and camera shots was so epic. After such a process, the final product was a thing of beauty. Never get tired of rewatching. Quality 🙌🏼
when you open the box, it's like the scene in pulp fiction where he opens the briefcase, there's an angelic chorus singing in the background and blinding pure light coming from the box. That would make for a fantastic youtube short
You know when your absolutely hooked on content when you watch two people explaining the difference between going forward in reverse whilst simultaneously moving ahead going backwards. Then it hit me! We are all backwards 😂 now things seem to be going forward really simply.
I partly grew up in OZ in the 70's as a kid and loved it, so much I returned in 2014 with family but didnt love everything it had become, or not, so left after 6 years in Sydney. One thing for sure is the mates I had back in the 70's are much like these blokes so dont judge everything in Oz by what you see as often it is what you DON'T see. Thanks mates for keeping it real and have just ordered 2 posters as I forgot to get the Gemini which my mum had when I was a kid so a bit annoyed.
Please check the sump and pick up properly! I have a 240z with the same sump and pickup which just killed my stock rb26. Pieces of swarf and sugaring inside the pickup went through the pump and took it out. New pump, oil pressure was still shit on the dyno. Pickup tube basket seemed to be the cause. custom larger tube and problem is sorted.
The metal in this one was excellent, loving the massive, MASSIVE mix of music between all the different videos. I know it's been covered in previous vids and kind of expanded on, but still feel like it doesn't get enough attention. It is, fantastic. 👌
This project was what made me subscribe. Golden crew, beautiful car and a somewhat relevant upgrade. Glad it's back, was afraid it was sold. I trust it's a great episode and start with liking it.
Looking over the years it's nothing short of amazing and inspiring that just two friends managed to spawn such a long lasting project. And it's friendships that are the strength of MCM. Incredible how many people they were able to befriend over the course of years.
no HKS V-Cam? - Variable Valve Phasing would help a lot. - can do cam phasing with that. Works on the intake Seems to give a lot more torque and throttle response from what I saw on charts. I mean it would make it more like a modern engine. Having said that most people seem to not use it. I remember talking to some fellas from Volvo once they said not to use gated sumps because they get stuck sometimes.... Apparently the best thing was to design a sump with equal oil channels by volume between the baffles which pointed at the pickup. They did this for the B5254T4 engine which is in the Volvo S60R/V70R. Other than a dry sump apparently it works quite well.
I was also expecting a V-Cam, but that's not a cheap option, and i don't think is that worth it for a car that won't push more than 400hp, i think some custom simple cams would've been better.
No need for a v cam set up on a build like this. Cost to benefit just isn't there, an adjustable cam gear can get the power where they want it and it will still be drivable.

Thanks Moog for great music.. its made for those night rides with great car.

I remember talking to some fellas from Volvo once they said not to use gated sumps because they get stuck sometimes.... Apparently the best thing was to design a sump with equal oil channels by volume between the baffles which pointed at the pickup. They did this for the B5254T4 engine which is in the Volvo S60R/V70R.
Other than a dry sump apparently it works quite well.
Damn, I'm a huge fan of Volvo and specifically the v70r/s60r. I didn't even know that did that with the sump
I was also expecting a V-Cam, but that's not a cheap option, and i don't think is that worth it for a car that won't push more than 400hp, i think some custom simple cams would've been better.
V cam is not cheap at all. Would be worth it if there wasn't a budget
@joealex65 it was about 520hp at the engine before so there probably going to end up with just over 550hp with a better powerband
No need for a v cam set up on a build like this. Cost to benefit just isn't there, an adjustable cam gear can get the power where they want it and it will still be drivable.
