@@monroefive-o40you bet! Premium for 40 odd cents a litre! Had a 80 Bronco lifted and a built 460! Regret every time I think about it letting it go...
Hey Steve, just watched the vid where the wagon made 4200 HP on your hub dyno. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have no doubt that the SMX in the wagon could easily make 5000 on a good 1/4 mile track. No doubt whatsoever!!!!!
Love this jeep, I remember the first time I got to see it run a few years back. He has run it the past couple years at the Hayfield shootout right up the road from me in Williamsburg MI. Another 11 days until this year's event, can't wait.
Texas hell zipcode calling... 🔥🔥 🔥...been over 105+ and 120% humidity for about a month now. Up until a couple days ago...sub 100 now. Yay finally relieved to see 95 again... 🥵 hell is real my friend and it's name is Texas. 😂
That’s a wild jeep, will have to look out for an event to see it run. The SMX sounds wicked through those headers . Air cleaner also helps it from eating small children and dogs walking in the pits during a throttle wack .
Given the miserable temperature and humidity that day I wouldn't be too surprised if it was down some power. Procharger eats up some power too. Awesome build.
Now that was an unuusal vehicle combination ! Great job by Kyle getting this thing hoked up. The way it revved so easily made it seem like there was no load on it ( or convertor slippage). Great video . Wild, wild jeep.Thanks for that.
@@MrJermbob I know not to feed the trolls but seriously. You are the one who needs to be embarrassed. Please if you don't understand things just ask. It's a single speed sand/snow drag jeep (Usually a 300ft run) and the engine is driving through the converter hence the 20% slip he was talking about. The engine was run up to the RPM they wanted to stop at in that 1 second you talk about.
I know ALOT about dynos. You understand that every dyno pull on steves piece of crap dyno is a 1-2second pull right no matter the vehicle ? You have seen the last video of his wagon and the brake controller commanding 100% constantly. I bet his dynocom isnt even being run on the eddy retarders. I bet that dynocom are running dyno runs on the inertial value of the dyno. I build dynos and i know what a good load holding system is like. Dynocom is world famous for piece of shit dynos just do a search for yourself. Its a common theme with these dynocom crap dynos. The dyno controller cant control the time of the dyno run is steves problem mate. He cant set a x rpm per second ramp rate like all other good dynos can and the dyno will fight to follow it. You run a 4000hp car on a mainline dyno with no front strapping to the ground and see what happens HAHAHAHA. Shit will backflip. Your a stupid guy for commenting yes your correct. @@kylekendrick2536
The engine didnt make the hp it was supposed to on the dyno because of the dynocom isnt able to load the engine to be able to produce the hp. This is a joke. Steves dyno is a joke. Steve is looking like a joke. There is groups of dyno people wondering when the joke will end.
First... As good as that engine looks: NO ONE COULD BELIEVE: ALL IT GOES THROUGH... And Looks This Good! And Steve... you are gonna seriously pulling my leg; Tha Wagon A Swamper? Love that jeep setup! Thanks. BTW: Was having lunch with my mechanic good friend having a conversation about you: "years burning?" Thanks. J
I don't know Todd, but I know Todd will use ALL THE POWER. That's why he is there😂. Take care of him, go to his track, and check on him. Take us with you.
45yrs ago when I started working in a machine shop, an old man teaching me said not to worry about asking stupid questions cause stupid questions were easier to to take care of than stupid mistakes. I watch your videos because none of my experience is with boosted applications and I find it incredibly interesting. Allow me " wouldn`t loading both axels change the slippage percentage in the converter? Would the second axel put more load on the converter pulling the engine down as well giving the slippage percentage a better ratio? I`ve been watching the videos for quite some time and you have mellowed. The snarkyness has become much more informative and your high school pic looks like you could be Kyle`s brother. Can`t wait to see what`s coming up next.
sorry Steve i watch all your videos and its so easy to forget to hit that like button but i try yall ... great job Kyle and all of you behind the lens for great videos !!!!!
It’s odd seeing the Morris guys a little baffled…trying to optimize an engine like this for a 300’ hit is pretty unique. I know SME is known for making big HP on turbo engines but damn a procharged SMX just sounds so awesome!
Dry-brake fuel line to a second fuel cell(that's removable), warm the engine on pump, from a cell(jug) outside the car, disconnect dry-brake, fire up methanol monster 🇺🇲(just a thought). If he's doing a lot of winter stuff, having to switch fuel every time would suck.
I kept thinking Kyle get those wheels off the ground when he was tuning that monster motor . Then your saying not sure how the transmission shifts ,HA!!! Yes I know team Steve knows what they're doing I do not . Thank you for the great video
I love the screw blown, sand drags stuff, I would love to see one of your motors set one of sand records! Because yeah, that would be amazing lol Paddles or cuts :-)
Steve Go back and watch the video and watch the air filter when you get on it it look like the element started laying over so it definitely is robbing a lot of horsepower not just some
Man, looks like you need someone to get on top of making a SMX level torque converter. Steve can make ALL the horsepower, now we need someone to help us get it to the wheels!
Procharged SMX, to converter drive, to reverser, to single speed full time transfer box - what a cool combo, good ol' 300ft drag racing(because it's already sketchy enough at that distance; slowing down after a pass is a whole different ball game)!
it is sounding like there is going to be in the line up for the experimental converter, like you are now testing in the wagon. this is a awesome video.
Steve your so much like CLAY MILLICAN ALWAYS happy and love what you are doing makes me smile Thanks for all your wisdom GODSPEED you rock the drag racing world
I'm glad you mentioned the front drive shaft was out. I was thinking one of the steering wheel buttons might engage / disengage the transfer case for the front axle.
Brother.. You arent kidding about this humidity! I am old and worn out but damn this makes working outside just a fight to drink enough water just to sweat it out.
Love to see you work with mud drag trucks, the gearing is fun we run a Fti powerglide with a 1.60 ratio 1.1 through the case with 5.13s at the axle give us a final drive of 9.028
With the difference in wheel diameters it would certainly push the front unless it uses a different gear in there, but I suppose it's set up for the estimated slip. Also a great looking machine, I like the textured powder coat on the Roll Cage.
I was thinking without turbos to knock off a little noise, that thing has to be super loud. Couple minutes later, Kyle says so. Next shot he has hearing protection on. 👍
Ok, we all know that you are not EVER going to take the wagon thru the mud.......I chuckled at the click bait. However that jeep is unbelievable, and tuning it on the hub dyno is very smart. Kyle is coming into the tuning aspect with great confidence and I am very impressed by his competency. Good content, we are learning so much as you figure the tune!
@@danmyers9372 I heard that. It is 100% a B&J Trans with a Quick Drive or converter drive. Runs a torque converter and in the unit is a trans brake. Its is shifted with C02 I saw the bottle as well as heard it shift. Now if the owner is just using it as a gear reduction unit I get that. Add the C02 to engage the clutch pack and it goes to 1to1. I.E. high gear. At least I think that's how its set up.
