It makes me so happy that you're doing drag content! I really want to see you do a drag and drive like Sick Week. Also, I'm really looking forward to the RX-7 build!

Thanks for all the efforts! seems you got there eventually.

You can do timing curves in your launch control. Like, just an example, the button pulls 3 degrees of timing out, release the button and it puts 1 degree back in a half second, another degree after a full second and another in 2 seconds. This will help manage horsepower with your limited control of boost. Just spit balling. You can even do this on the throttle position sensor. I know you like tinkering in the software. Just maybe giving ideas to think about.

This episode made me happy. Success with problem solving, successful rips, and utilizing stock components to do other tasks. I LOVED the utilization of the tow/haul button for the 2-step. I hope to use the cruise control button in my Foxbody for 2-step if I can ever afford to turbo it. Great episode bud!

You're a fab guy Taylor! Clamp those pieces down when you're using the press, I'm sure you've got a ton of clamps. (There's also some smaller drill vises you can buy.) I was squinting when you were holding them with your hand - lost a good chunk of my thumb doing exactly what you were doing with almost exactly the same size of material, slipped out of my hand, caught, and spun and nailed my thumb before I could even pull my hand back.

Spooled soft copper line is the plan stuff to use . Tight to the frame makes a good heat sink minus your wrap . . Instead Wrap your exhaust with aluminum backed hvac tape . 7 layers is a fantastic thermal insulation that works off radiated heat reflection . The glue carbonizes and you have black -shint -black -shiney -etc . Hot gases flow far better and it dampens tone . I love this stuff !!!

That truck makes me miss my 94 f150 flareside 5.0 5 speed single cab. Turbo sounds would have made me keep it lol

Also to clarify since for some reason people always think that test spot is in a neighborhood. It's an industrial complex. lol I can see how the building on the end by the stop sign could kinda look like a house. But figured the loading docks would be a giveaway that it's not a neighborhood. There are no houses... lol

Inside the truck bed, especially right behind the cab, is a huge low pressure area. So if the trans cooler fan is blowing upwards, this will help. But it will definitelly not "feed cooler air from above" as you mentioned 😉

@@Taylordrifts yeah, the cateye front clips have more room between the grill and the radiator than these 99-02 fronts. Everyone is saying to get a 40k, but I think the tru-cool 30k would fit better where you have it underneath the front. It's still the superior plate\fin type and has side fittings rather than at the bottom\top as it's 6"x 23"x .75". With the 30k you could probably get rid of the one near the exhaust in the back and maybe see if they make some fans for it, or if you have at least 1" between your intercooler and radiator it could slip in between so hot air isn't being pulled through the intercooler.

awesome T !

badass gangsta pie cuts

Everything is satisfying

I am loving this truck! A common mistake that I have also done (smoked the trans) is to zip-tie the cooler lines together for nice tight clearances. This effectively negates the trans cooler because the hot fluid in one line heats up the cooled fluid in the other line by the time it gets back to the transmission. The simple zip-tie wire spacer trick works perfect to keep the lines far enough apart so the cooler actually works as it should. Also check out Cal-Tracs or Slide-a-links to help traction and eliminate wheel hop, a must have for leaf sprung drag vehicles. Looking forward to seeing this thing progress!

@ScabFarmer

This truck is getting better every time. The suspension setup is gonna need more attention to get it to hook. It's so low, it doesn't have much travel. Looks sick though

Easy setup for low boost. Swap the 3 port for a 4 port. I used 3psi gate springs in my turbo LS combo and could make 20psi+ no problem.

I've got a TruCool 40k up front behind the intercooler and in front of the radiator and I can easily stay 100* within ambient outdoor temps. Very similar setup, just in a Bronco. I've got a setup in my crawler like you ran with a cooler in the back as space is tight up front but I used a 25 pass Derale unit and it still doesn't keep my C4 cool after extended beatdowns. Not sure what I'm going to do there, run two of them or run the trans fluid through the radiator... not sure.

That 2 step sounds really good…I bet it sounds better in person

For the transmision cooler maybe put a heatshield plate under the part of the exhaust that is below the cooler, it might help. Love the videos.

Awesome video! Your fab skills are great and the truck is beautiful. One question, and I’m sorry if it’s already been asked. With the front cooler mounted only on one side, with all the weight hanging on a diagonal is it possible it will crack at the mounts through road vibration, bumps, etc.?

True Kool 40k up front in good airflow and you'll never have cooling issues. The 3rd gear "spool mod" from experience puts soo much heat in the trans and fast. And if I'm not mistaken is a fast way to burn up some clutches. Maybe something to look into more. Also it doesn't sound like the transmission shifts are very noticable at all when making a pass.

Cant wait to see it rip on a track fully hooked up

On the Holley instead of building a boost curve you can build a timing curve to better mange your launch

welding vise grip or c clamp through the drill press plate to hold material works well.

Pity you didn't have this ready for SICK WEEK. Another feather in your cap for a Drag & Drive event.. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.

Please tell me you are planning to do at least 1 or 2 race weeks in this thing with Cleetus

Caltracs and shock relocation with double adjustable shocks will help it off the line

A heat shield around the trans where the exhaust heat radiates might drop your Temps. Also an easy lit fab project. 👌

I would recommend a advance table to pull timing on release of the 2 step to help fight the traction issues over a length of time. But definitely look like your heading in the right direction for practice on the new build.

thang is sweet dood

I have a 4l80e in my 03 Chevy with the same cooler mounted in the front of the ac condenser and it stays cool as can be unless your absolutely beating on it but even then I’ve still never seen it over 210

I'm glad you live so close to Mexico. Bahaha!

You should totally do a giveaway with the truck, I’d definitely enter for that.

For boost control I went with a Motion RW dual MAC valve setup and a 1gal Viair setup instead of having to fill CO2.

trucool 40k trans cooler is pretty good mounts right infront of the radiator so it gets some good airflow

Hey Taylor, you do great work bro awesome. I’m surprised you haven’t noticed your turn signal/ running light on the driver side being out. Turbo truck

Also might be kind of cool to get like a Denali style steering wheel to use that for your 2 step/trans brake/launch control etc buttons.

Some suspension adjustment would help too with launch

Get a hand vice for the mag pillar drill, you could bolt it loose to the table add on

Yah budddy the green machine

You should get some cal tracks for the rear endand then talk to s. R. C on what to do with the settings and everything. Since you just did a deal with them , they could help you out on getting the Cal tracks and everything else for the rear end of that chevy

From experience i can say if you get rid of the cooler above the exhaust and just run the one up front with fans it would definitely stay cool enough. Hi comp 6.0 Nitrous Chevy 2500, 4l80e, triple disk hughes converter and a 40k trucool cooler never gave me any overheating issues even for daily driver.

If you're keeping the leaf springs out back, check out the Caltracs from Calvert Racing.
