Crazy??? Bad Idea? What do ya'll think about this?

[@wbrettgray6544]

The larger vacuum line may slow the response down because you increase the volume of the air in the hose that has to be evacuated.

[@505robin]

John don’t forget to put the chain in some heat shrink or something so it don’t hang or kink

[@Justin-g5k2i]

I truly don't understand how people like src gets more subs than you , you are true blue collar and doing stuff yourself , what I mean is you have done and paid for everything yourself not had someone help you get started, I respect that

[@a.jsipple7322]

It's Because of Uncle Bucco, of course.

[@Low10nz]

As a former roundly rounder the thing to remember is any change in the front will also effect the weights and loads on the other wheels.... if its enough to effect how the car handles I don't know I guess you will have to find out. It seems like it will be adding another variable that will have to be dealt with potentially. I try to minimize variables in my cars cuz I'm not that smart lol.

[@nitrochaney1026]

Two things… One, it seems like you could affect steering when you hit the limiter. Two, with that one bolt bracket you’re going to chew up that aluminum strut body. I really think it’s a bad idea. Everything else is looking good 👍🏼

[@joeb9793]

I would make the throttle bracket a little longer so that it could bolt to the stud coming up from the intake manifold. With 2 attaching points on the throttle cable bracket, there would be less chance for it to flex.

[@stevejones6647]

Surprised he is even using a cable, I would think a solid linkage would be more appropriate for his power level

[@josephgiallanza8022]

Go to the A arm

[@leestadnyk5573]

if it interferes with the steering I wouldn't do it that way

[@keithbuttigieg8864]

Well done john car coming together lovely hope to see you racing it asap

[@johnsoll7422]

Steering bind is the first thing that comes to mind

[@jtcoker2684]

I have a fox body drag car as well with the exact limiters. I have qa1 a arms and they have a hole right in the center and that’s where I put my chain and it terminates to the tube that the motor plate attaches to. Total length is about 9 inches. It works flawlessly. Before this limit kit, I had built my own and had it in the same place and never had a problem. I’ve never used a limit kit like you have it before. It almost looks as if it may bind when rotating the steering wheel. The shock moves, in a circle pretty much, so it seems that the chain may wrap around the spring and create a bump steer issue. Idk, just me looking at it. The car is looking good man, can’t wait to see it make a pass.

[@yorkenworthy]

You can’t see it in the camera, but turning the wheel changes the right height, which would affect the steering going down the track at 140 miles an hour

[@jamiecrider2513]

It's getting there TJ! Going to be a badass ride!

[@Go4BrokeOffroad]

I run the same shock sensor as a TPS on my blown alky set-up. It's flawless

[@jamesdavis4859]

Good job bro

[@Straightshot75]

HEY BROTHER, if you stay w the same shock location for your limiters, I would look into having 2 short cables made w eyelets crimped on either end, and do away w the noisy, and possibly damage things, chain. The cable will provide some dampening w the end eyelets being crimped. Use some ¼" cable. And you can have it sleeved w some wire wrap or something else of your choice.

[@craigmccall7450]

Is there a nylon strap deal like the offroad guys use?

[@garylucier6817]

At 9:34 John....No, No.....Triple Noooooooo. A recipie for disaster brother.

[@pb5778]

Thanks for sharing this video with us

[@momentummotorsports6137]

Car is lookin good buddy, looking forward to seeing you back out rippin

[@JudgeMeNotLeMans]

I would think the tie down is adding stress where it shouldn’t be. Potentially wearing parts faster than normal. Having the limiter on the control arm only affects the travel. Steve Morris Racing just posted an interesting video on big turbo design and what appears to be a more simple but more effective way to control boost that seems to reduce or eliminate surge on the 2 step and at certain rpm’s. Worth a watch IMO.

[@BradMalpass1]

I think it will work just fine. We been strapping bike front ends by the forks for decades like that

[@BryantChapman-s7n]

Hi turbo John my name is Loveland you sent me on the hood of your car at roxborough motor speedway at JJ's arm drop can't wait to see you again

[@ethankratz1854]

Bad idea 😂😂

[@jims5852]

Man, getting close!

[@rachalhollier5679]

Self centering? If you on a wheely you can let go of your steering wheel and it will go back straight? Get longer chains to the A-arm and weld a tab for the connector to easily be changed while in staging lane sounds right.

[@realazliving]

I don’t know how it will work. You’ll have to try it out I guess carefully. It doesn’t look like the bracket on the strut is that stable. Maybe a bracket that uses all three holes?

[@DeezGarage]

@Turbo John , someone mentioned heat shrinking the chain, but maybe you can go to the hardware store and find some of the POLY coated (I think is what it’s called ) ,POLY coated chain.

[@adjustable_hammer_racing]

When you put a load on the steering while on the limiters it will want to break the chain. Best case it breaks both...if it only breaks one the front end could get very interesting while trying to drive it.

[@charliedavis6143]

Steve Morris did a Visio on charge tube electronic pressure ball that will solve a lot of your 2 step tuning, this was yesterday

[@jmur558]

Maybe ask the guy who made the struts

[@quick1sr]

I wouldnt want anything to inhibit my ability to steer the car...may work great, but i wouldnt want to wreck another car just to try it

[@Stevesbe]

KC Maxx better look out for pro mod john

[@jasonstormoen]

You try it during testing, and you don't go out on your first few passes in a new car balls to the wall. You normally do a couple of 60' hits, 330' hits, and then 660' hit.. They are normally solo runs to start with, too, but not always. John wrecking someone is highly unlikely.

[@timothymetzler7715]

Are you goimg to be running a full body ? Like all the front end hood and all ?

[@donwilliams8954]

John , wouldn't the chain on the strut affect the bump steer on the car ?

[@paulalabab8896]

Nah bad idea.

[@Dirtnap300]

but isn't that dependant on the size of the orifice on the connectors at the end of the tubes? If the size of the tubing adapter for 3/8" has the same orifice as 1/4" then is there any change in flow through the vacuum system?

[@justonrandall6304]

Looks dangerous workBefore jacked up

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

You might end up bending the strut or something

[@NollEngineeringPerformance]

It won’t want to return to center if one is pulling differently. If there’s any bumps or transitions only on one side of the track, or if the ARB isn’t dead nuts and it doesn’t leave square, your limiters are gonna be a problem for sure

[@bobblackley]

I think the lower limiter mount would be better if it had 2 bolts of attachment, the way you have it now it seems like it’d pivot on the strut bolt it’s on and dig into the mount if it hits the limiter hard

[@papashakeshake6268]

i like them simple and lite

[@edwinhawes3026]

Affect your steering also side load the strut and cause premature wear

[@rrtaylor52]

What makes the wheels go back to center?

[@JohnBurke-d8m]

No they have got to move to turn it’s going to come up fast and the wheels are going to turn car is going to go left sometimes and right sometimes

[@juandik]

Under full droop with chains loaded,will the car still stear?

[@Joetownsmoke]

Those limiters will work but at this level of your build you will be limited using them. This is gonna be nice John get something else on there 🍀

[@jerrodmcnary]

My opinion is a horrible idea. Just run it to the control arm. It’s gonna jerk that wheel when it hits the limiter. Everything else is looking good.

[@DeezGarage]

Is there a burst panel on this deal? I saw James with stitches racing he got a super sick burst panel deal that Kevin/ TKM makes. Suuuper bad ace. Way cheaper than I had imagined

[@brentonk461ismylostaccount]

I think you should have made the captions look like they were being sucked into the turbo

[@scotthall1215]

No, it's a good way to damage shocks. Already catching weight up and down. It would add tension to the side of it. Be like standing up put weight on a leg then someone kicking the knee

[@donald-1463]

John you lost the dragwire travel limiters 😂

[@TurboJohnRacing]

They gone!

[@donald-1463]

Those limiters may take out car to human feedback trying out that setup 👍

[@jasonstormoen]

I would try those limiters and nothing else move it. Check and see if it affects ride height or anything first. Talking carbs. I run Jon Bitlers all billet IRD 4500 blow through with f3-121 540 bbc. I run and control everything through the Dominator other than injectors I don't have. I run the Dominator ecu, CNP, Holley cam sync, and the Holley TP sensor comes on the carb from IRD, Holley VR2 electric fuel pump, and I have R-02, L-02, and 8-egt, and the trans and everything is in with the Dominator. I am now considering efi cause Jon IRD just came out with an all billet TB to go in place of cab an it's the same height and everything. You don't have to do anything for your carb hat to fit. The piping to procharger, or turbo, is the same. Literally plug and go.

[@JeffP-z6y]

Think jimmy dale runs his limiters like that

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Oh, I didn’t realize that!

[@garyeland5681]

I think it could interfere with steering and how the steering feels going down the track. I would keep it simple, stay with what you know works well. Go to the lower control arm.

[@savagerb28]

John your giving me flash backs of the double scramble buttons! Do not run it like that!

[@Tucker_Racing]

Please do NOT leave them like that, lol thanks!

[@danielgonzales2018]

Short and sweet answer....No.

[@dsgjay140]

Hey boss car turning out amazing but on the limiters i wouldnt advise running them like this especially on this caliber car the shortcuts can cost you at this level imo take the time move them to the a arms boss gd luck

[@DonCatherman]

😎👍💯

[@williamstevenson5534]

Cut the down pipe flush/parallel with the wheel/tire.

[@chadlavoie8609]

Definitely make some test passes .. you're gunna go from extremely free feeling steering (unloaded) to having resistance feeling (unloaded) during a pass ...

[@robertholloway7369]

I definitely wouldn't want anything messing with my steering

[@funfun8095]

SQUIRREL!!! lol

[@timothyfowler8278]

I really don’t think it would hurt anything

[@citizenpatriot1776]

Don't think its a good idea. Might be easy at rest and up in the air but put all that HP and force on launch/ down track might make it much harder to steer in case you get loose etc.... Just do it right and be done with it. You will sleep better at night. I don't think you want to go through this another time safety first. You got a awesome car keep it that way. 👍

[@Justin-g5k2i]

If it wasn't for old man Bill busting his ass src would have never come

[@RustyWells2]

20 days and counting.

[@rgroller4683]

Wire Nuts = fast! No Wire nuts = tax ! Raccoons!!;

[@stacyparker1299]

I say put the limiters where you've always put them. Personally I wouldn't want anything turning my steering wheel but me. That doesn't look to good TJ.

[@michealwriska2920]

Hey TJ we all love you an nobody wants to see you die so I would just move them to how they are supposed to be the limiters 😂 ur so crazy

[@jfarm_1311]

I don’t think anything effecting steering is safe. Doesn’t seem like it would do the same thing every time and be predictable either

[@VanPelt408]

I would rather have the metal cables instead of chains. Chains will rattle and rust. I guess you can put the chains inside a rubber hose…

[@robertbray5735]

Bad thing

[@heathmcdaniel9232]

I don't like the chain links they stretch & break week link

[@timothycraft5448]

It’s caster. Not camber.

[@1clnsdime1]

I would put them on the control arm. You are going to fash and have to much in this car.

[@Stevesbe]

The Hutah girl would approve of the 3/8 vacuum line
