Turbo Mustang Build! Boosted Big Block is getting closer.......BUT
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Making progress on the new Mustang. But like anynew build, it is a very time consuming process and always takes more time than you thought it should. But over the past few days, progress is being made and the car is getting closer to being able to get to wiring. On this video, Mike and Scott get to work on the passenger side header and I make some progress figuring out the brake lines, and mounting the fuel cell. Next Saturday, the car has to be ready to go to wiring. Let's freaking go......

Happy Father’s Day John!
Glad to see the hotrod coming together
Looking great buddy. I see a lot of money there ! lol. That’s what it takes 💪🏻
Dam TJ ur not playing around now big block huge 118 turbo that car is going to be no joke
🎉🎉 THANKS FOR THE UPDATE 👍
In the future if you go hard lines, order you some tube sleeves and tube nuts. Makes the job look clean and you don't have to double flare.. Happy Father's Day, John! Car's looking great and you deserve it more than anyone!!

Shouldn't those be steel lines? Copper is too soft, not safe.

@@user-vc2mo2gj4xIt's not copper, it's a blend that has enough copper in it to make it easier to work with. Y'all need to give TJ some credit, he's been doing this a long time. I see a lot of people that don't even have racecars in these comments trying to criticize something they know nothing about! It blows my mind
Your digging deep man!!! But that’s what it takes…..
Lookin good John.
TJ those ole Nascar endele pumps r just so kool how simple and effeciant they r, Holy smokes man not long ago u were at under 3500 subs and now look at the freakin Hotrods ur working on as well as ur own Congrates John Truly ur 1 of the most humble men ive met racing We r so Happy for ya and ur Family stay safe my freind

Thanks, we have a blast doing it!
Cars Looking good
That’s going to be one badass unit .
I hate to sound like a *"Fan Boy"* but I am super excited to see the new car in the @TurboJohn pit! This new chassis setup (plus the new BBC) will 100% change your program! You've earned it... You've been super competitive with a Sub-par Car for years... now, your are Leveling the playing field with some of these top players! (Isaac Preston, Ryan Mitchell, Beaterbomb, etc)
Can’t wait
Looking real nice, John.
Man you need a tunnel enclosure it fits inside the driveshaft hoops and is made of .125 aluminum... if your going to have that chassis certified 25.3 there gonna make you install one they got in my ass at my inspection about it
Now this the turbo John you are a fox body man
Happy Father's day sir car is awesome cant wait for the gapple sauce to be delivered to all
Put a tunnel around that drive shaft, it is nothing nice when that thing metal or carbon fiber explodes next to you! Great job and good luck with your build!

As long as the u joint doesn’t let go a carbon shaft just goes to dust . If you use a metal driveshaft at this level these days you kind of deserve whatever happens .

Did you see Justin Swanstrom's carbon driveshaft explode.....was wild and it destroyed the tunnel and a piece of yoke went through the roof. Crazy
Cant wait to see you racing again FTW

John I hope the car itself has a good body nice to look at like Randys 🙏🙏🙏not like your previous cars lol not that they didn't funtion but lookablity is key too 💯💯💯✌️
Really nice! Happy for you.
No more spaghetti wiring I’m in shock 😳 lol can’t wait for it to be finished!!!
Hey John, Happy Fathers Day. Order up some flare nuts and you wont have to double flare the metal line, makes life so much easier plus the hard line is cheaper. I have to argue with some of the comments about braided lines cause spongy pedal feel, seen many cars with 2’ off the master to the left front wheel and 6’+ to right front wheel, hard line to the rear with a long braided line to the diff and braided to the calipers…..those cars will throw you into the dash when you tap the brakes BUT they do have aggressive brake pads like im sure those TBMs are. Cheap pads will be spongy for several thousand miles but race pads have a lot higher coefficient of friction therefore reducing pedal effort in itself, my road race brakes with stock ford brake rubber hoses my pedal moves about 2” from free roll to 4 wheel lock so i cant imagine having braided that doesnt swell under pressure like rubber does
Guna be fast John happy Father's day to you guys ok later
Hey TJ did you watch the Camron race car last video of Cletus new car the guy talks about how they do there brake lines it a full proof way to measure the brake line it’s pretty good it will probably make ur lines go way faster
Glad you stepped away from the Saturn, didn't know mustang was this close for you to start personally working on, so there was no down time. Don't cut any corners, take your time, you've worked hard and deserve a very nice car. For a color how about a root beer, something like Paige coughlin car. Good luck

Saturn was a better car. This is just another mustang. It'll be fast but will not be anything more than another mustang.
Good job bro put twin turbo on it. It will make it run faster
@Headsup9550

Yet another person that doesn't even have a racecar blasting out misinformation!! JamesDavis that's really weird because it seems like my single turbo car put twin turbo cars on the trailer every week!! TT cars will normally spool faster but then you have double the complexity, double the cost, and you have to carry TWO turbos around instead of one.. No thanks
Man you have a lot of work to get done in a short amount of time before wiring. Don’t rush it. You will regret it later. Keep pecking away at it.
Turbo John build/racing withdrawls....its a thing!!
😎👍💯
You know that you will have a really spongy brake pedal with all that braided line.

Shoot I figured it would have a stiffer feel as It should stop flexing/expanding at a certain point.

Yes especially that close to the master cylinder. Like that it's gonna be real spongy! Made that mistake in my 71 nova had to redo all of it to 3/16 hard line out to the braided from the frame mount to the calipers ! Hope tj see's your message
you need That Drive shaft tunnel I gave Courtney
What's the goal start up date? I can't wait to see this fire up and run down the track
Is that fuel cell enough for a big block????
I just wouldn’t trust my car and life to dot 3 fluid. I would love to see check the fluid temperature at the top on after a run. I could be just fine or it could boil it
Were is cortney an all his zip ties lets get this thing going john ...lol

First of all I'd say don't use drum and run full pressure to it, you will need the rear pressure with slicks
