Just to mention it again in case you didn't see my old comment. Maybe consider putting two more shocks outboard closer to the tires? It will add tension, slow compression, and also keep each side of the frame more planted so you don't get as much side to side wobble. Just a thought. Can't wait to see everything guys!
When Shawn mentioned adding two more shocks, on top of the other two, that was the first thing that popped in my head. Imo I think shawns idea will work no doubt, but I think the results could be better with two inside and two outside shocks.
Nitrogen fox bump stops like on an off road truck... you can control with the nitrogen pressure..
No shocks just solid mount
@@BIGSMOKE-bl2lq That defeats the purpose of the design.
Air bags...
There's no other channel I look forward to watching every day like this one. I love the plan for the rat rod!
Same here bro boosted boiz and cleetus as well
@@ericwilliams2117 hell yeah brother!
So sick. Brent your the freaking mad scientist!! Make sure to give some of the other homies at PFI credit. You guys are talented.
I Think its time for Shaun to get a car...after you get all this stuff out the way. 👍for Shaun getting a project car!!
I think the s2000 should be his car and I really hope to see him drive it too!!
I think he has a twin turbo 4 runner.
@@paulsensabaugh7879 Yep that's what I remember too. I think they promised us a video on it?
Sho'nuff is hanging around up there. Waiting to stomp, anything
We need to see it!!!!!
be willing to wait as long as They can give a prediction as to how they think it will do on the track. under 10 for its first pass??? Something ,Anything??? Please !!!!!
Brent I have to say there is something with your content and the edit of your videos that’s got me hooked! I used to be a on and off viewer and pick and choose what videos I watch but lately there is something going on the crew the people the cars the passion is on a new level! Now I am always looking for the next video!!!
Thank you! Thank the PFI crew for the time and great entertainment you share with us all.
I'm digging the intro. Can't wait to see how everything comes together.
Same
Sho’nuff should be #1 priority. It is going to hurt some feelings.
You guys have got to do the Keg on the front of the Ratmobile, killer idea.
yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo!!!! Dude the blower hat cracking open with them open headers is exactly the way to go, holly crap im so stoked to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This music makes it that much better!! Keep it up! Hell yeahhh!!!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
11:25 Sho'Nuff X Batman transition caught me off guard. 😂
It might be worth having some simple hanger style shelter for the cars outside... just so they don't get smothered in snow when it's winter.
They recently got approval that took 12 months to happen. There will be upgrades happening to the shop soon
I love watching shawn racking his brain on ideas how to improve bullys overall performance 👍💪 shout out to shawn.
moving the diff on the bully will also move the overall weight forward, this will change your turning moments on your frame pivots and affect the required damping/gates on the hinge shocks.
But with the weight more forwards it will enhance the levarage over the tyres increasing the grip... given that you will probably shift it about 2"(looking at the video) it sprobably well worth doing!!
Not that I matter
But
I agree
Lol lol
The use of a roots blower never crossed my mind. Now that you mention it though it would be beautiful with dual 4bbl thottlebodys on top a big blower.
Nah a big injector hat
Man I cant freakin wait to see shonuff hit the track. hopefully sometime soon I can race you in my crx at Bandmire
man i love ur vids so much, keep it up guys amazing content
The little edit at the beginning was so cool lol music just pumped me up
These videos are the ones that get me so excited for the next upload! See you tomorrow!
You guys are all awesome and talented. Thanks for all you do.
Todd is a great guy, always smiling!
I hope you are keeping Todd. He seems like a hard worker/great guy and an even better addition to the team 👌😊
PFI!!! Love you guys!! The most watched channel, by far, for me...you are the most genuine, knowledgeable, and awesome guys on TH-cam. You inspire me to finally build the generation 2 integra I’ve always wanted . Please don’t ever stop giving us content!! SO excited about all the upcoming projects!! No homo-I love you guys!! Wish I could visit the shop!!
That was awesome 👏🏼 always watching! I see the progression it’s amazing at what can be accomplished when you have such a creative mind! Brent your the man!! PFI speed for the win!
With the guards getting wrecked, Australian burnout cars have 1/4" or 2 layers of 1/8" steel plate bent up and used as the guard liners so the tyres can't wreck them when they let go.
I kinda like the brainstorming sessions. I don't know if I'm the only one that does but I think it's good content. Brent and crew are always a hoot to watch. You all are inspiring.
Hey PFI so glad to keep seeing progression on the Sho Nuff Build!!! So stoked to see this come to life! Plus all the great people & rad companies coming on board to help you make your dream a success!!! I cannot wait to see the next update! HAPPY FRIDAY
You'll sort this weight issue easy boys. I mean cmon, you built this beast in under a week!! You have had your shake down and it did well, new plans already sound badass! All the faith in the world in you guys
Y’all the stuff on the block:) y’all inspire me to make more videos:))
Can't wait for it all to be done and rollin. Just imagine PFI, BOOSTEDBOYZ, and Phong and his all motor crew rolling in to racetracks all over the country. I personally cant wait. You Guys are freakin awsome
Thoroughly enjoyed getting to watch the brainstorming session! Really make you feel like your apart of it! You guys keep up the good work!
Man, I can't wait to see sho'nuff finished and going down the track. That thing is going to be so dang fast. Awesome content as always.
I think you just need more dampening for the suspension of the Bully, but no more spring stiffness. Just ad another damper and no more springs. You just want to travel the frontend slower. So you can use a cheap coilover and just remove the spring. Looking forward to the progress of getting the Bully figured out.
At 19:20 Shawn gave that fabricator look like "I got this!"
The new intro is freakin rad love it bro keep up the awesome work
I can not wait to meet you guys in Indiana! Im so pumped!
Like the new intro Brent! Maybe a touch busy but meow 😹! Looking good on all fronts and happy to be hanging out with you guys for the ride! 👊🍻🐈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
PFI Speed
best shop
Glad I mentioned the suspension running out of travel, I think slowing it down and giving it more time to get onto the tires going to help. I used to see these kinds of problems on traction bar leaf spring cars, and I broke shocks figuring it out. What I'm seeing happen is the chassis is bending in the middle but it's hitting the limiters to fast. When i was racing my maverick it would extend the rear end past the shock length and snap the mounts off, so to fix it I found some truck shocks that were long enough and slowed the rear end separation down, as a consequence the car 60 footed better and started peaking air under the fronts. So I'm just thinking the same thing might help, because if you watch the footage the car accelerates fine but 10-20 feet out the chassis stops moving hitting the limiters and the tire shake begins, you could also tune the boost curve and not hit the chassis so hard in the first 1 second or so and ramp it in after that point if adding the shocks help.
sheared 4th gear finally in my turbo k24 Brent, im welding the diff swapping the gear and getting ready to ripp again!!!
(He man voice)
I HAVE THE POOWWEERR!!
pumped for sho nuff but even more excited to see how you guys tweak the bully!
22:28 we know what goofy be doing on snow days
That PFI intro is nuts!!🤙
Awersome stuff guys love ya work , hey brent I did try to warn you about how destructive those tires are lol , glad things worked out for you also good to see you are going to put fire cutters on , they work well for us . Hmmmm not sure about the blower , roots blowers arnt very efficient personally I would stay turbo but your car to do as you please . I think part of the problem that you had was never having practice, always keep your front wheels straight when starting is another that's why she sledged at the start , didn't help with on off lol but all in all you rocked it for your first go on the pad , I know it's a big learning curve. But with a bit of seat time you'll get it sorted , also I didn't see if the wheel weights came off before the comp but they were on for ya first . That's a big no no wheel weights can kill , get more steel rims we go through minimum of three sets of brand new tires each time with some 2nd hand party tires for after lol . All in all top job . Tony
Cool thing about straight axles being so far in front of motor. 60/40 drag frame! Love the build. Rat rods rule!
When I first saw you guys building the Rat Mobile I thought man that would look cool with a blower and 3x2 barrel stacks sitting strait up and a set of strait up zoomy exhaust pipes. All of them with baloney cuts. Painted red on the inside and chromed out.
TV channels wish they can make content like this!!
As soon as Brent spoke the words we all go to race week I got excited 😊
Hell Yeah!!! You could also do a top fuel style header for the Bat Rod! would fit the blower theme great!!
I would rather direct the exhaust at the tire smoke so it blows out the smoke extremely well
@@jacobwalls452 Only problem with that is if you watch say the boys down in Australia they don't do that because it can cause tire fires and cut their runs short. Not saying it's a bad idea but they'd need to be very careful with placement to avoid the above...
@@PastorwithoutaPulpit I agree, be VERY specific with the placement
@@PastorwithoutaPulpit maybe run pipes into the smoke and run Venturi tips?
Sho e nuff is what I'm dying to see!!!
I'm glad I saw yall on cleetus's page. Love the content
Bro you is killin it with the edits lol..the music..the vibe..old school references
Can't wait to see all of that you guys have planned. Keep it up!! Greetings from Athens Greece
Hell yeah, Brent! I hope you plow forward with the ideas you talked about at the end with the Bully. That car could really be something and I hope your team can take the time it needs to really revamp that front end from the ground up! You guys rock.
@pfi speed For the bully suspension, try to think about air shock. Basically the coil shocks are pretty linear all the way but air cans having more resistance as you go more to travel which at some point will limit the travel based on the pressure you use. The tend to get hot but I think on such a short track it would not be a big deal. I took this from mtb as bikes having various linkages used for suspension. This is like single pivot which is perfect for air can with more progression as it goes thru the travel.
I am 1000%!!!! On board with the blower on the j series idea. It's exactly what i thought would be cool af from the beginning. And pointing the exhausts down and slightly to the rear will help blow the smoke back and out which would look cooler and help a lil with visibility.
The only thing i worry about with putting the fuel and battery in front is them getting damaged if ya hit the wall. I'd personally put the battery in the factory footwell just behind the firewall
I've seen and driven plenty of Rat Rods, hell I own one.
I've seen Bat Rods there's more than a few of those.
There's only one Rat Mobile I've ever seen a lifetime of going to shows and events.
Truly unique and amazing. Wonder if knocking off a little tire speed aside from weight shifting will help as well with burn out duration. I know that things was flying and I'm guessing what around 210 or so if they were actually pushing a car to speed? That thing flat destroyed those tires more by melting them than wearing them down. Still great showing man especially when you consider the build time the fact was even able to pop the tires and do it safely as well as drive off was astonishing but not unexpected. Can't wait to see all the content coming up y'all deserve all that's coming your way you prove everyday that hard work does pay off...
Your weight problem is caused by the front axle being at the very front of the vehicle. You designed the optimal drag race chassis!
This.
Fab a Bumper bar/cage out past the front tires to move fuel, battery and radiator as far forward as possible, plus you'll have the bars to protect the tires/suspension against wall-taps...
Love the content Brent! 👍 keep it up
I feel like moving the front wheels back 6-8 in maybe even more would do a lot for the bat rod.
And for the bully. 2 coilovers coming from close to the wheels to the top outside corner of the firewall would be mint
All the people that complain about how long it takes you guys to do something or you should do something else blah blah blah have no idea what it takes to do everything you guys do run a business and be good at what you do. Thanks for great entertainment 🤘🏻🇺🇸🤘🏻
with the burnouts. in australia we often add more weight to the back to add grip so there is more smoke, cement the rear to prevent tyres blowing through the wheel arches
Great job to all of you guys down in Florida.
Can not wait to finally meet you guys in indy.so so excited.i love this channel thank you so much
Are they coming to indy? Cause I'll be there
@@BoostedBMW513 just got confirmation they will be there
Damn, During the build I was gonna comment "you might wanna get filters for the turbos, not a problem for Bully but now its behind the front wheels in a burnout car", Then I figured lots of street racers do it so it could be ok, oops. maybe 1 voice in many would have gotten lost anyway, Oh well. Really looking forward to sho'nuff progress.
Awesome content as always Brett, love to music too
About the Bully. In RC cars when CV axles are under power there is bind in them that makes the axle want to straighten out. So, depending on the diff height compared to the outer axle the straightening will plant the tires. So moving the diff could make a big difference.
Boost by speed with the sensors on the rear would make a rather decent somewhat traction control measure I would think, great idea ya'll have there (if i'm visioning it right) the only difficulty would be a rad burnout unless there is a way to change it on the fly (could be wrong) . I always wondered why the axles was like that and now I know... yeah moving them now that you can should help immensely for sure... awesome
TBH Sho'nuff is what I want to see rip the most now (but don't rush it on our behalf) .... absolutely love all the projects. Thx for the content dudes!
Nice job guys!!! Not sure how major it is, but I seen on the Batrod the oil line for the left turbo is rubbing on the steering shaft. Love all you guys do and love the videos.
Damn Fonda definitely got some motor in the back of her Honda.
Ok ok ok I see u now
Right on
Love it
Rings for the front axels..hell yes.
Super excited!!!
Absolutely just love the music/editing and overall content as always!! Gets me hyped!!
Keep on keepin on brothers! 🤙🏼🤙🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Good Gosh;The views went from 307 to1836 in the time I watched.I would've been the 10th Comment too.You guys are Rocking 'The Net' with your awesome vids.Thnx for the updates on all the rides too.
Gas actually weighs around 6lbs per gallon. just some helpful info while moving the weight around
You guys are the best channel on the tube for sure
Mint ideas, good planning and strong team. Go get em’
Hey Brent. Thanks so much for the video update! I hope you are doing okay. You are clearly stressed. Take care of yourself!
I don't know if it's intentional or not, but calling the Bat Rod/Rat Mobile something different every time you talk about it is pretty funny. Keep up the variety.
Clearly you guys at pfi could build a super fast and quick conventional front wheel drive drag car.
But the bully, it's just something I feel the vast majority of people want to see fleshed out so long as it's cost effective for u guys. It's just so damn interesting.
whether it's destroys the conventional guys or not who cares.
I've always wondered if there's a way to work out exactly how much force is being applied under load with the flex. Then starting with near rigid damping and relax it from there and see how it goes with varied options. I dunno it just seems like with the right setup it should be the best.
Love the videos Brent! And so awesome you have Illy in all of your thumbnails lmao
I can’t wait to get Jack Black turned up and tuned with you guys 😁
you could also look into making the lenght of the arm that holds the Bully's shock absorbers adjustable. it would effectively give you and adjustable spring rate without having to mess with the preload plus a shorter arm would also make the absorbers more efficient.
For the Bully all you have to do is extend the upper shock tabs so that the shocks you have are standing more vertical so that the leverage essentially makes the shocks have more lifting capacity which will also slow the rebound time. The best part is that it will only cost a few cents for scrap metal and it can be made adjustable by just having a couple extra holes to move the mounting location to fine tune it.
Got pretty pumped when I heard the intro music, then realized it's the same track that Hafthor Bjornsson (The Mountain from Game of Thrones) uses on his channel. I'm sure it's from a royalty free service so I doubt it's a big deal but, pretty awesome 2 of my favorite channels use the same tunes.
If you think about it, Brent has gained THAT much information in only a handful of passes in the car, to be confident enough to make this drastic amount of additions/changes to the BULLY. Its pretty amazing to see the "engineering" side of how the team thinks and super excited to see it make its next pass!!
Some rock crawlers have used water in the tires to lower center of gravity and add unsprung weight. You could have a set of water filled front burnout tires! You can find a valve stem to garden hose fitting online to do this. I think Trail Gear sells one.
Hate seeing The Bully torn apart again. Love to see it turned up working. Great ideas on it and all projects. ✌
You guys ever thought about using a draw wire sensor to measure how much travel you have on the front shocks on the bully during a pull. They are basically a wire with a retraction spring attached to a 4-20 ma potentiometer. It might give you an idea of how far the damper is compressed, and for how long during a pass.
Instant thumbs up squad! *HYPE*
I don't know why but I can see Brent Leivestad running zoomies on the Rat Rod lol j32a2 with a blower and zoomies would be EPIC!!
Couldn't believe the weight, would never have thought the rear was heavier, I actually thought maybe the scales where wrong way round. Another top video from Brent and the team.
Putting Honda on the map! Hell yea we need more Honda out there from the batrod to raceweek, the world needs more Honda!! 💪🏼💪🏼 the power of dreams baby!!!!
Nothing like having a baby an watching pfi
Big congrats hope the tradition carries into parenthood
Just to clarify because PFI fans are crazy 🤣
1) having a baby = giving birth
2) having a baby = quality snuggle time with newborn
@@wesley8599 differently #pfirunsthisfamliy
We’ll hold on there just a minute!!!!
That rat rod will launch like a mother with weight distribution!
I think we need to drag race that guy right there!!
You might want to look into using the remote reservoir shocks that your off-road buddies use, as you should be able to fine tune them from within the Bully.
Glad to see new subscribers, make that money! Lol
It seems like I Know you guys now you'll make it happen great videos thanks 👍👍
Look into the shocks dirt modified and late model racers use on the rear ends for the pull bars. That is one of the ways they slow or speed up the axle wrap. Could work on the bully.
If you're moving the Bully's diff to make the axles straight I would suggest going to a solid axle. They're stronger than CV shafts which you won't need anyway if they're mounted straight and it'll put a bit more weight on the front tires.
You guys are killin it!
