Hell yeah brother you're on the policeman for on youtube channel all right, sam you're, in charge today, who's it going to okay. The turbo today goes to jorge sea in denver colorado. He didn't win it through a vine to bother my spray wax, but we are sending you a turbo anyway. We're throwing that turbo in maybe we're throwing one in, but maybe you'll take a risk and buy a bottle of spray water turn another one.

Okay right, we need, we need someone to win off of a bottle of spray wax. Yes, that would be nice. All you got ta do is get you one of these right here and there's a good possibility. One of these turbos will be at your doorstep.

It could have a guarantee, but it could happen it could happen. Are you calling jorge you better pick up dude you better answer. Unbelievable left us on the voicemail jorge enjoy your turbo, but we'll never forget the fact that you didn't answer our phone call, hey guys in addition to our terpsky giveaway, i'm excited to announce that motion. Raceworks is also doing a giveaway this month, we're giving away a 1986 ira camaro and five thousand dollars cash.

This bad girl's only got 38 000 miles on it. You guys should definitely go check it out i'll, put a link in the description. If you want to check out the motion giveaway, i know a lot of you guys already buy parts from motion race work. So every ten dollars you spend equals an entry to win that iraq, camaro and five thousand dollars cash.

So that thing will be at least in cars, and you can come check it out. It is a mint mint third gen camaro, maybe not as clean as toast, but it's pretty clean one flip dude. No, you got ta, keep it balanced, one flip! Oh my god. Oh, my god, hey, i don't wan na catch it one flip.

What if i just swirl it like this, i mean you can try it all. Righty guys zach and i have done some pinning and wiring and we got the new bump working through the actual holley computer. So now i can hear our trans brake and then you can see on here we hit the bump, so we have to test it. We'll pull it out always touch your two step and then we'll head to the track and look at that with do.

What's that any idea with the smoke oh yeah, if you're leaking trans is not happy, so i saw it let out a puff of smoke on the first one. This fitting right here might have busted. Does the fluid look smoked, though it looks pretty dark? I don't think it smoked them huh. I think this yeah, that's where there's a line broke line, split yep line split because it wasn't real hot.

No, it's nothing! You did yeah. The fluid is not even hot that sucks that wouldn't have been a long day at the racetrack yeah there's a hole in it and i can almost guarantee what it's from. But getting this thing out on the ground, you have to pull the transmission all the way back to where it's touching the cooler. I bet you when we did it in houston.

I bet you. It just caused a tiny little crack in it. Oh brother you'll have that on those big jobs, it still wasn't bumping. Oh it didn't bump for you.
I heard it do the one i was hitting it yeah. That thing was not me that did not sound good either the fluid doesn't smell burnt, though i mean. What are you doing? What do you think of my car? Why do you have a prius chase? Will buy a hybrid damn boy, all right guys we got ta fit. You boys sure know how to fix a.

I know: 158 zip ties later and we're dialed no leak back in action. Oh, i figured out the problem with the bump, so we'll try it again. So so yeah fans on, i see a tiny like puff of smoke, but it doesn't look like it's leaking anywhere. Yep could be residual because it's all over everything down there and we just put heat in the transmission.

Hopefully, hopefully it's residual yeah, let's go raise them, hopefully, ah my favorite driving over to the drag strip, one of the best feelings ever, especially in my girl, ruby. I haven't done that in a while. Let's do some ripping boys all right. Let's go left the tune-up that was in it for tx 2k to see what it does and then we'll feel that out go from there.

Hmm! Well, that ain't right, ruby, ain't feeling good huh, yeah, it's to the floor, it just it's like it shut off for a second, you got ta pull the log, see what's going on yeah all right, weird, i don't know what i'm doing in texas, but now it's Like way more severe, i mean new rear end in there i mean it's like, i think it's losing cam sync again. Ah, all right guys. I am flabbergasted by this data and i'll show you guys too. The uh point at which i let off the trans brake is right here, see that little peak right there and uh the fuel flow and everything stayed.

The same. Fuel pressure was solid, 83 pounds of fuel pressure. So it's not like a fuel cut. No ignition cut.

Didn't seem to lose crank signal based on my judgment here. I think we got something broken in the transmission. Maybe the converter - i don't know, but it made some crazy clunk noise on the way up and then, when i let off the brake it just like bogged the engine down super hard. I don't know if there's something broken in the transmission.

This kind of seems like what happened to parker forever ago. His converter made some crazy horrific noise on the trans brake and then uh just made terrible passes. So i don't know, i'm gon na call. Dr tunamall right now see what he thinks, because he's kind of a pretty good at spotting that kind of stuff, but something's not right in the driveline we'll get to the bottom of it all right boys, i'm already calling it.

I talked to uh dr tuna ball. We both agree that something's got to be broke and that may also explain why it blew through a transmission line at the shop, we're not 100 sure but we're spitballing on the phone, and i don't want to run anymore and end up toasting our transmission. So we're going to call it for the night for ruby holy toledo - oh my god tires - are hot on the prius. Fires are hot, oh, no way guys like that.
The comeback guards are with the wind of 15-4. You see what happened was the charge. Pressures was too high for the it was high. She got a little warm look at this right here.

Oh man. We need a little light, but yeah you can see here where she melted. Oh, it melted that line braided hose oh wow, skin on there. That's pretty neat, so that's how i got so high it melted.

So maybe we should just send the whole unit into old rpm transfers. Yeah, i'm her in there. You know what i mean. We flush this unit out yeah.

Well, you know it went through some stuff at tx2k. You know missing the whole two-step and just going that was nice through the converter. That might have done her in so we're going to pull this sucker out and uh yeah. You know we'll probably send it right back to rpm transmission.

She got texas, hot yeah, legit, texas, hot, so that rubbed on just the plastic and put that mark in it. That's what i'm thinking wow! That's pretty crazy, sucker held in there for deer scenes. It gets that hot yeah, that's different, that's what we call a no bueno situation, all right guys, so the current status on the ruby's transmission is we sent the converter back to ptc transmission back to rpm we're leaning towards it being a converter issue, but we really Don't know until we know so when we find out the information on what actually happened. We will let you guys know, but we're servicing some other stuff too checking out the torque tube.

You know going through. The car probably won't have her back for gleason cars indie, but we're gon na try bye.

    Someone needs to take a top down picture of a gas powered lawnmower and put it up against a straight on shot of Ruby's turbo and dare to tell me they don't look darn similar…LoL. And WOW! Sam's got Ruby's paint looking cherry!!

    i think that there is so many spam callers and telemarketers that people dont answer the phone if its not a number they dont know

    Love seeing the evolution of Ruby, you should luver the driver side of that hood, I think it would look sick!

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carlos Mendiola says:

    I know we don't like hoods or body panels on this channel but let's take a min to admire how good ruby looks with the hood and how clean

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars robert leonardi says:

    hood looks so good on ruby can't beat the clean finished look. the sticker bumper is great but may be time to retire it and get a new one

    So I was put in FB Jail today for sayin y'all should drop that Godzilla in White Trash! 😂😂😂Worth it!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hummy Hero says:

    Left rear wheel looked like it had a wobble to me when you launched it at the track right after the burn out.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars W P says:

    Was it just me or did the rear tire look crooked before launch? Could be the angle but it didn't look right

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Youngman says:

    Is it just me or does the rear driver wheel on ruby look like it might need an alignment

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brandon S. says:

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LeRoy Perouty Jr. says:

    I understand getting a hood on Ruby, but can we have Ty fix that gap between the hood and bumper? Just looks a bit off.
