i have a 94 civic with a rear disk swap and i want to install a line lock on the car i brought it to a localy shop that does mostly american cars and he said that he does 'nt know how to install it because of the way the prop valve is set up i was wondering if anyone has installed one in there car and if so what do i have to do its just the regular summit line lock

 

yea i was thinking the same thing because the line lock is 1 in and 1 out so i was just gonna run one on each line and tie the trigger wires into 1 so they both work 2 gether

 

 

Your the man Brian. Now straighten out that jack stand before the car falls on you.

BTW, love the paper towel holder.

 

it is all good that pic is 4 months old it is all better now.

and the shop is clean up too, just has all 3 of my car is in now.

 

then u just run the lines from the line lock to the prop valve???

 

why don't you guys put the line lock on the front so you don't pull your self through the line when you slip the clutch

 

I think that would break axles or something

I think It's a great Idea!! would allow you to preload that much more and probably save axels!

I may run a line lock to both the front and the rear, one for launching and 1 for burnouts

 

Electric line locks scare me....

A bad switch can kill you.

 

that is why you have a 80amp relay and a 5amp fuse

 

What I meant is that say while your going down the track and the switch makes a closed contact and fails. That locks the brake lines and prevents fluid from being applied to the brakes. Now your bias is all outta whack and braking will be difficult.

Mechanical is the best for fail safe conditions/reasons.

 

You do realize that line locks have check valves built into them, right? At least mine does. I can set it with no brake pressure, press the brakes, and then it holds. Also, how often do you see switches fail to a closed state?

 

It happens. Ever see someone that can't get off of their anti-lag because of a switch.... same thing.

I was unaware or the one way check valve. The ones that I have seen did not have them.

 

ok i installed the line lock and made the new lines now does it matter wich line goes where on the prop valve as long as there both rear lines???

 

LeftRear and RightFront
RightRear and LeftFront

 

yea i know that but if the 2 rear are crossed will it effect anything??

 

as far as I know nothing unless you brake a line, you will only have brakes on one side of the car making it pull to the one side

 

gettinme one today

 

Have any of you ran a staging brake/line lock on a car with drums? how did it hold during the burnout/preloading.

There was a video posted on here not too long ago where a RWD car seemed to have a line lock failure. Lifted the front tires, when it came back down the left tire was still locked and the car rolled like 4 times.

 

I have a customer who setup line lock on the front brakes. Seemed to work out pretty well. Just make sure you upgrade your brake lines. As the stock rubber lines dont hold up too well if you really lean on the brakes and apply the line lock. For the burnout he just uses the e-brake like normal. Brings the car up on antilag and does the burn out. When he comes too the line. He applies the brakes and hold the line lock. When he launches he just slips the clutch and releases the line lock.

We've managed a 1.64 60' with this setup.

 

wow thats awesome i hope i can do something like that i have all ss brake lines so i should be ok i just have to learn how to launch with the line lock
