Turbo 670 Dragster gets Titanium Axle and Runs Quickest Ever 60'!

Our turbo Predator 670 drag rail gets a new titanium axle and redesign our chain guard after bending the last one when we turned our Haltech's 2 step function up last time we were at the drag strip!

I know Charles left because of his family and to take care of them but please don't forget to update us on him! We care about him, his wife and the little one! We love you Charles. I hope you're safe and well!

So many hobby channels become about spending ever increasing sums of money. That's fun, but also unrelateabl. I love that at its heart, C&C is still about what some buddy's can get done in the backyard.

John hustles so hard this dude is ordering parts working on editing, filming, wrenching, setting up adventures, not including everyday life stuff.

Check those plugs! It seems to be detonating or blowing out spark under boost. Closing the gap to .020" - .025" should help. Some engines need .015" gap.

Hey John I've been a Fabricator for around 9 years TIG welding for longer than that it's great to see you taking on the challenge that is TIG! My first bit of advice would be COMFORT when welding anything anywhere if you aren't comfortable your welds won't be as good. Second get a foot pedal for your welder it will help you, it takes practice but is way worth it in the end I'm not knocking the hand trigger it definitely has its uses and benefits but for learning it helps to have one less thing your hand has to do. Great job on everything you do and I watch every video keep it up!

ALWAYS take extra spark plugs and a low pressure tire pressure gauge with you.
And make sure to get TWO EGT probes so you can add those in to the sensors and see which cylinder may be going up and down in temps.
Plus, top off EVERY time with fuel, and make absolutely certain to use a METHANOL friendly fuel pump. That one you had on it looked like it was just a ebay 255 pump.
Last, make sure to use methanol friendly fuel line and fuel filters both pre and post pump.

I remember when you guys got this thing in the old shop. I feel like I’ve been watching for 7+ years man it’s awesome to see an actual almost image for the channel. This thing is awesome!

11:37 - If you ever need to determine if someing is titanium or not, one sure way to tell is to grind on it a little bit. If it's steel, the sparks will be orange. If it's titanium, they'll be bright white.

An actual clutch plate between the engine and the torque drive (I refuse to mis-label it) will allow you to wind it higher without the worry of 'creeping' the lights while giving you the necessary instantaneous engagement you need to lower your ET throughout the length of the track.

Fun tickling the keys on the laptop for this baby.

I believe we're dipping in fuel pressure. The pump John told me was rated at 75 psi. With our boost referenced fuel pressure regulator + 25psi of boost with a base pressure of 52psi, believe we're asking for more pressure than the pump can deliver. The launch though! We got that baby chooching. 4, 000 rpm stall next!

I do overhead doors for a living and your spreader bar (the unit you've got between the axle and jack shaft) would be more effective on the exterior of your chain. The bearings hold it near the kart, the spreader holds your shaft ends from coming together. For reference a commercial overhead door motor with a 1/2hp motor can produce upwards of 750lb torque and use #50 chain. This would help from loosening your chain.

This thing just keeps getting more awesome every time it's on. There's just one thing, though... It really needs some kind of ostentatious intake setup, like maybe a mailbox painted sparkly gold or something...

Been a subscriber since the rat rod wagon! John, in my opinion the most important thing with tig welding is comfort, get setup on a table. Looks like you’re holding your torch with your left hand, so you’re going to want to move left to right, feeding the filler from the direction you are travelling. It’s much more difficult to weld toward yourself. Another good tip for starting out is don’t dab the filler, just run over it.

Guys, Harleys custom carts in AK here... Get yourselves a Miller 211 welder.... They are simply the best... My fourteen year old, learned to weld with one when he was ten.... Ive had it for 12 years now without any Great build...

[Thomas-fozu]

Hi John, I used to deal with axles moving on an application at work because the set screws on the bearings would loosen/vibrate. So I removed the set screws, once I got the axle where I wanted it, and put a drill down in there, and made a divot just using the tip of the drill bit, then replaced the screws and never had another problem with them. A good set of socket Allen's helps to keep them from stripping while getting them good and tight. Hope this helps.

Guys!!! Just make a spring-loaded chain tensioner!!! You could even use a Fox MTB rear shock as a damper!

[charleybetts]

It's wild to see how far yall have come since the beginning... I remember the days in your parents driveway and - Haltech ecu, turbo, plasma table, sponsoring events, etc.... it's awesome seeing yall stick with it and grow!

[playanddisplay]

My old man was an aerospace engineer (before DEI) and I was and aerospace welder/fabricator for about 15 years. That being said, for what you guys are building it's great. I love this channel and anyone talking shit can GFYS! Congrats on the great ET, honestly a lot quicker than anything I have run in the 1/8 in over a decade.

[shaunandsandycarrier]

This is my favorite build yall have done

Send it.
Bend it.
