Is Tire Technology The Key To Today’s Incredible Performance Cars? Check out the ExtremeContact Sport 02: https://bit.ly/3Ulidu1 Big thanks to Continental for sponsoring this video! How much of the performance jump in cars over the past 10-15 years could be contributed solely to tires? You might be surprised how much of a role the vehicle actually plays, so in this video, we’ll answer the question: what’s faster, an old car running new tires, or a new car running old tires? The results will come from pitting a 6th generation Volkswagen GTI against an 8th generation GTI. The new GTI will be running tire technology from old GTI’s era, and vice versa. For clarity, both sets of tires are brand new, manufactured within several months of the testing in this video – it’s a comparison of tire technology, not tire age. Both vehicles will be running the exact same tire size, with the same treadwear rating, the same loading index, and the same wheels. The difference? A two generation gap in tire technology, with the older ExtremeContact DW going against the newer ExtremeContact Sport 02. To evaluate the difference between old tech and new, we’re going to be looking at wet and dry lap times, as well as both wet and dry braking performance.

Hybrid vehicles are uniquely challenging due to the frequent engine start/stops, as well as lower overall engine temperatures, which can lead to water and fuel dilution. Sponsored by Mobil 1 – https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/ Hybrid vehicles are a great solution to improving fuel economy, but they have their own unique challenges. Because hybrid engines start & stop frequently, this often results in lower engine temperatures, which in turn can create issues with water and fuel dilution. Frequent start/stops, water, and fuel, can all create problems that exacerbate engine wear. To combat this, Mobil 1 has developed Mobil 1 hybrid, a full synthetic motor oil that is designed to meet the challenges that hybrid vehicles place on engines. This video will focus on three main subjects: how hybrids work, why hybrids are hard on engines, and what solutions exist to combat these challenges. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

The truth about the 2026 Formula 1 rule changes! Why 2026 F1 Engines Make Less Power - https://youtu.be/KxDQBVzXWt4 Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Formula 1 teams are concerned that the cars are going to be too slow in 2026; this is because an all new ruleset goes into effect which has major changes. The cars will have less combustion power, and more power will come from the electric motor. This shift will create energy challenges, so the cars will have less aerodynamic drag and less downforce - that does save energy, but it also means slower cornering speeds. But, not to fear, the new cars have more horsepower, not less, so they'll definitely be quicker, right? Well, we'll have to do a little math to find out. Enjoy!

Can Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N win over combustion enthusiasts? A performance EV with drift mode, shift mode, and variable torque split! Subscribe for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N is a fresh new approach to electric performance vehicles. The car is packed with customizable features so the driver can configure the vehicle to their exact preferences. We'll deep dive into ten of these features, summarized below: 1. N Pedal - Developed as a solution to overcome the inherent weight and size of EVs, N Pedal was designed for instant turn-in behavior and enhanced throttle sensitivity, increasing the regenerative force to create a dynamic weight transfer that helps to sharpen corner entry. 2. N Torque Distribution - adjusts the front and rear drive ratio, providing fully variable torque distribution that can be adjusted for eleven levels. 3. N Drift Optimizer (w/ Torque Kick Drift) - helps to maintain the drift angle by balancing multiple vehicle controls. The integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick action of rear-wheel-drive ICE vehicles for driving scenarios that require more immediate drift initiation. 4. N Grin Boost (NGB) - delivers an instant thrust from IONIQ 5 N’s dual motors by increasing the power output and torque for ten seconds 5. N Launch Control - provides maximum traction for the fastest possible start, allowing the driver to launch their vehicle like a professional race car 6. N Race - utilizes a motorsport-derived philosophy that optimizes resources for the best track experience. 7. N Battery Preconditioning - optimizes the temperature of the battery cells to be as efficient as possible. 8. N e-Shift simulates the behavior of the eight-speed dual-clutch N DCT of ICE N models by controlling the motor's torque output and power and simulating the jolt feeling between shifts. It provides the push feel of a DCT transmission and various levels of simulated engine braking using regeneration. The purpose is to increase driving fun, provide a more interactive driving experience, and deliver the same emotions of an ICE on a racetrack or a windy road. 9. N Active Sound+ - produces three sounds – ‘Ignition’, an ICE N engine and exhaust sound, and two futuristic EV sounds, including ‘Supersonic’, inspired by fighter jets – through eight internal speakers and two external speakers. Drivers can even rev the “engine” when N e-Shift is activated and transmission is in park or neutral. 10. N Road Sense - automatically recommends that the driver activate N Mode when double-curved road signs are detected. This lets the driver enjoy even more driving fun. Honorable mention: e-LSD - The electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) controls the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, enhances handling performance when turning at high speeds, and improves wheel-slip compensation. This is a real, mechanical differential with e-hydraulic locking action for the rear motor! Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Is there no replacement for displacement if you want big horsepower? Driving 215 MPH in A McLaren 720S - https://youtu.be/mGM4ASvcm6M Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 If you limit yourself to fuel you can find at any gas pump, and the air we live and breathe, and the four-strokes engines that most vehicles operate on, there are really three fundamental ways to increase the amount of power an engine produces. - Displacement - RPM - Pressure (Forced Induction/Boost) Arguably, there are many, many ways you can alter how much power an engine makes, but ultimately, it’s a matter of getting as much air as possible, and combining it with the right amount of fuel, and these are the big ways to make that happen. So the key metric we’re looking at: how much air do we have to work with? In this video we'll look at each of the three methods, the advantages and disadvantages, as well as examples of engines that use each method to their advantage. All of this while driving the McLaren 750S, and absolute powerhouse of a supercar cranking out 740 horsepower from a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 revving to 8,500 RPM. I'll test drive the McLaren on some of Nevada's finest roads, as well as at a race track in Las Vegas.

Do you really need winter tires, and do you really need AWD? Thank you to Hankook for sponsoring this video! https://www.hankooktire.com/us/en/tire/ion/icept.html Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Snow covered roads tend to create a debate surrounding snow tires and all-wheel drive – is it all really necessary? In this video we’ll compare summer, all-season, and winter tires performance in the snow, and also discuss the purpose and merits of all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive combined with winter tires can provide confident driving in harsh winter conditions. But what about electric cars? Winter tires pose a unique challenge to electric cars, as they are generally louder, which is more noticeable in EVs. Winter tires also tend to have higher rolling resistance, which reduces your range in an EV. Finally, winter tires use softer compounds, meaning more wear when used by a heavy EV. To maximize winter performance, compromise is inevitable, but Hankook seeks to combat these challenges with their latest tire offering, the iON i*cept winter tire, designed specifically for EVs.

How The Ford Mustang Dark Horse Became The King Of Braking Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Nothing has ever braked shorter than the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, in the entirety of Motor Trend’s testing. The 5.0L V8 boasts 500 horsepower, meaning the car has both potency and heft, and yet it stops as well as a hypercar. In testing, the Mustang stopped from 60 mph in just 86 feet, nudging out the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which had the crown for best braking for over 5 years. Who could have guessed it’d be replaced by a muscle car? In this video, we’ll digest the bonkers stats of such braking prowess, discuss whether it is cool or lame, challenge the notion that braking is limited to the best tires (hello McMurtry Speirling), and look at a deceleration trace of one of the best stopping vehicles that exists.

Let's peel back the friction material on different aftermarket brake pads! We'll examine five different brake pads to see how they differ internally. Sponsored By NRS Brakes - http://www.nrsbrakes.com There are four fundamental elements of brake pad design that play a critical role in brake functionality and safety. Rust protection for the backing plate, how you attach the friction material to the backing plate, the flatness of the backing plate, and the tolerances of the abutment areas, ensuring the pads slide smoothly within the caliper. In this video, we’re focusing on just one aspect, the attachment of the friction material to the backing plate. We'll inspect five different brake pads: one original equipment, one from NRS Brakes, and three other aftermarket companies. You'll very clearly see the original equipment pads use mechanical attachment, as does NRS, yet two of the aftermarket companies do not. Mechanical attachment uses hooks to ensure a very secure bond between the friction material and the backing plate, which is especially important for applications that see high heat. Heat can break down adhesives, whereas the mechanical attachment will remain strong. Yes, you can buy brake pads designed for the exact same vehicle, without ever knowing that they don’t feature the technology that the original equipment pads specify.

Can Toyota save the combustion engine by using liquid hydrogen? Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Toyota surprised me once again, announcing they've raced with liquid nitrogen in the Fuji 24 Hour race, accomplishing what they claim is the first for any manufacturer. No one has raced with liquid hydrogen! The technology is awesome, as it allows for a lot more hydrogen storage versus gaseous hydrogen (stored at 700 bar). Here, the low pressure liquid must be kept at -253ºC, however, which is quite a challenge. According to Toyota, this project had three main challenges: 1. Keeping the liquid hydrogen at a very low temperature. 2. Maintaining the efficiency and capacity of the fuel pump. 3. Controlling the pumped liquid hydrogen, as it converts to gas. We'll also discuss another issue that exist with hydrogen, which is how much space it takes up, despite having a better energy density by mass than gasoline. Unfortunately, the energy density by volume is quite a different story. Check out the video to see if this technology is worth the hype!

The Koenigsegg Gemera Pairs A Hot V8 Jesko Engine With A Dark Matter Electric Motor! How TFG Engine Works - https://youtu.be/WwlNqaz9q_0 How LST Transmission Works - https://youtu.be/MSxQtHOfljE Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo From the Koenigsegg Gemera Press Release: "As the world's first 4-seater Megacar, defined by its awe-inspiring power of over 1 megawatt, the Gemera was already a striking feat of engineering. However, the Client Specification version takes it even further with pioneering advancements. However, during the development process, the Light Speed Transmission (LST) was introduced in the acclaimed Jesko, which delivers unparalleled excitement and performance. “We could not resist exploring the possibility of incorporating these remarkable features and benefits into the Gemera production model, leading us down an exciting new development path — the Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission (LSTT),” explains Christian. To complement the engine and the LSTT, the R&D team has also developed the "Dark Matter" E-motor – an 800 hp, 1250 Nm patent-pending Raxial Flux E-motor that is an evolutionary leap in electric propulsion, representing the world's most powerful automotive-grade E-motor with 6-phase technology. One Dark Matter is now paired with the LSTT, instead of 3 Quarks E-motors with the Direct Drive system. This makes the drivetrain lighter, smaller, and even more engaging. The LSTT four-wheel drive system with four-wheel torque vectoring can be powered by either the 800 hp Dark Matter E-motor or the twin-turbo TFG, or a combination of the two, resulting in a maximum output of 1400 hp and 1850 Nm. The Client Specification Gemera not only retains its inherent qualities but also adds the lightness and responsiveness LST in the form of the LSTT. “We added 'Tourbillon' to the name of the LST, as this mechanism represents the automotive equivalent of a high-end Swiss watch and is simply beautiful,” explains Christian von Koenigsegg. Even so, we have yet another thrilling announcement—the Koenigsegg Gemera HV8 (Hot V8) version. The HV8 elevates the Gemera beyond any Hypercar or Megacar and takes everything to the next level. Before we came up with the LSTT, it was impossible to believe we could fit a mid-engined V8 configuration in the Gemera, given the large occupant space in comparison to the compact size of the Gemera. However, the layout of the LSTT allowed us to do it. To make it happen, we had to convert the Jesko V8 into a so-called Hot V8 where the exhaust exits at the top center, but otherwise, it is very similar to the Jesko engine. With this new engine configuration, the Gemera boasts an astounding 1500 hp from the HV8 in addition to the 800 hp provided by the Dark Matter E-motor, resulting in a total of 2,300 hp and 2,750 Nm of torque – a new world record for a production car. "The Gemera HV8 is not only the most powerful and extreme production car on the planet Earth, with an astonishing 1,11 hp per kg, but it is also the most practical and user-friendly sports car ever created. Its incredible response, handling, engine sound, crisp transmission, spacious interior, and four-wheel-drive systems combine to create an unprecedented and unparalleled driving experience, ready to set numerous records of performance around tracks and in straight lines. We are extremely proud to have brought the Gemera HV8 to life and very much look forward to delivering this new level of performance and technology to our esteemed clients and fans," says Christian."

Why Everyone Should Run Summer Tires - Even Electric Cars! Thank you to Hankook for sponsoring this video! https://www.hankooktire.com/us/en/tire/ion/evo.html Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Summer tires are the performance option for enthusiasts who want the most out of their cars. These tires offer more grip, better steering feel, and better handling – not to mention better stopping distance rain or shine. But does all that grip come at a compromise? Electric vehicles need tires with low rolling resistance to maximize range, and often, rolling resistance is at odds with grip. In this video we’ll deep dive into Hankook’s iON evo tire, a summer tire offered for both electric cars and electric SUVs, to maximize warm weather performance without a big loss in rolling resistance or noise levels.

If it runs on gas, and has four strokes - yeah, you can run it! This leads to wildly different strategies within the world of endurance racing: small engines, large engines, turbo engines, naturally aspirated engines, V6 engines, V8 engines (you can even run rotary!), hybrid or not, the world of endurance racing has it all. It's fascinating to see manufacturers choose different strategies when it comes to powertrain, including the behemoth, 8800 RPM naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 engine used in the Cadillac V-LMDh. Endurance racing, however, is fairly complicated. This video won't get into the differences between IMSA & WEC, LMDh vs LMH, or the other dozen acronyms used in this fairly complicated motorsport. The powertrains are awesome, the racing is awesome, but the series could use a little help in terms of educational content surrounding the rules, team approaches, and various strategies. All of that said, I had an incredible experience attending the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans! 100 years as of 2023! Enjoy the video and learn all about the powertrain strategies in this sport.

Ethanol has less energy than gasoline, but it can make so much more horsepower! Is ethanol bad for your car's engine? https://youtu.be/ATGSBi1kBl0 Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, and yet it can make so much more power! How is that possible? This video will cover the differences in air/fuel ratios for ethanol vs gasoline, the energy density differences (by mass and volume), fuel economy differences, and octane number differences. Critically, the reason for octane number differences will be explained, with both the chemical composition and the cooling effect of ethanol providing a large advantage. Finally, we'll look at real world testing to see how much more power ethanol can make, as well as the efficiency differences of E85 ethanol vs E10 gasoline. And if ethanol really is more efficient, then why do you get worse fuel economy using E10 vs E0 (gasoline)? Whenever a fuel is listed as E10, E15, E85, E100 or E##, the number simply represents the percentage of ethanol in the fuel by volume. So for example, most pump gas today is E10, meaning up to 10% ethanol by volume, and the rest is gasoline.

The Wankel Rotary Engine Is Back In Production Thanks To Mazda! How Rotary Engines Work - https://youtu.be/Ny4-Jc_qW60 Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo From Mazda: "With the discontinuation of the RX-8, Mazda ended mass-production of the rotary engine in June 2012. Today, some 10 years later, the rotary engine is making a comeback. This new rotary engine has been adapted to meet the needs of our times and is now being used to generate power rather than as a drive unit. While the 13B Renesis engine used on the RX-8 was a 654 cm3 two-rotor engine, the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV uses an 830 cm3 single rotor format for the rotary engine generator. With a 120 mm generating radius (R) and 76 mm rotor width, its compact size enables coaxial placement and integration with the electric motor, decelerator and generator to achieve a unit with an overall width of less than 840 mm that fits on the same body frame as the MX-30 BEV. We also successfully reduced the weight of the engine by over 15 kg by using aluminium for the side housing section of the engine structure instead of the iron used on the Renesis engine. The main contributor to increasing fuel economy and reducing emissions on the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV rotary engine was the use of direct fuel injection. When fuel is injected into the ports on a conventional rotary engine, a lot of the air-fuel mixture ends up at the back of the combustion chamber, not fully combusting and eventually being expelled as unburned gas. This has a negative effect on both fuel economy and engine output. The rotary engine on the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV uses direct fuel injection, making it possible to distribute the air-fuel mixture to the main combustion area and achieve more efficient combustion. Additionally, direct fuel injection atomises the fuel at the time of injection making it possible to sufficiently vaporise fuel even at lower temperatures. This also helps prevent the injection of excess fuel. The engine also adopts an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system to improve fuel efficiency. Adding an EGR system that operates mostly at low rpm and low loads improves fuel economy by preventing cooling loss caused by rotary engine combustion chambers having a greater surface area than those of a reciprocating engine. Apex seals are attached to the tip of each rotor to ensure the combustion chambers are airtight. For the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV, we increased the width of these seals to 2.5 mm to improve wear resistance. We also changed the plating on the trochoid surface inside the housing to reduce wear and frictional resistance. For the sides of the housing, we use aluminium for the surface of the side housing and have added high velocity oxygen fuel coating to add a ceramic coating which also reduces wear and frictional resistance."

Don't Listen To The Haters, They're Wrong About CVT Transmissions! Why CVTs Are The Fastest Transmission - https://youtu.be/cb6rIZfCuHI Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The 2022 Subaru WRX continues to offer two transmission choices which have been available in the WRX since 2015: a conventional 6-speed manual transmission, and a continuously variable transmission which Subaru calls the "Subaru Performance Transmission," likely intentionally avoiding the dreaded three letter acronym "CVT." You see, CVT is a deal break for enthusiast; they claim it's trash, that it can't perform well and it feels like a rubber band. Well, Subaru would like to have a word. In this video we'll discuss what's the best transmission choice, and why for an automatic, the CVT is just fine - in fact fantastic - as it's used in the WRX. We'll compare the CVT to the advantages of a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) and see how it stacks up. Warning: you may like the results, but they're accurate.

What is the limit on efficiency for cars? How low can energy consumption go?! Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The Mercedes EQXX is the most efficient car Mercedes has ever created, and set out to achieve 1,000 kilometers on a single charge of a 100 kWh battery, with a goal of the elusive 10kWh/100km energy consumption benchmark. They did this by optimizing everything about the car for efficiency: aerodynamics, weight, rolling resistance, and powertrain efficiency. It even has some solar panels for a little extra juice! Were they able to achieve nearly double the range of today's EVs? Mercedes EQXX Assumptions For the energy consumption vs speed plot (flat ground, constant speed) an assumption is made for the electrical consumption of the vehicle at 250W. This value was chosen because Mercedes claims the solar setup on the EQXX is capable of generating (rough average) 25 km of range in a day. With an efficiency of 8.3kWh/100km, and knowing we get 25 km of range in a day from solar, we can divide 8.3kWh by 4 (25km = 1/4 of 100km) giving us a daily production of around 2 kWh from the solar system. Let’s assume 8 hours of good daylight, so 2kWh/8hr = 250W. Mercedes also told me there were times the solar output exceeded the overall system energy required, meaning at times the system was operating under (the assumed) 250W solar output.

Can Toyota's Hydrogen V8 Save Combustion Engines? How Toyota's Hydrogen Engine Works - https://youtu.be/3IPR50-soNA Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Toyota partnered with Yamaha to develop a hydrogen powered V8 engine, derived from the 5.0L V8 used on the Lexus RC F. The engine produces 450 horsepower by burning hydrogen, and thus has no direct carbon emissions. Unfortunately, there's a big problem with hydrogen combustion vehicles, as this video will demonstrate. From the Yamaha Press Release: "In November last year, the five companies of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Subaru Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation, Mazda Motor Corporation, and Yamaha Motor jointly announced they would begin discussions for conducting collaborative research into possible avenues for expanding the range of fuel options for internal combustion engines in the quest for carbon neutrality. And at the announcement venue, the V8 hydrogen engine shown above, which was developed by Yamaha for Toyota, was unveiled to the public. The unit is based on the 5.0-liter engine in the Lexus RC F luxury sport coupe, with modifications made to the injectors, cylinder heads, intake manifold, and more, and delivers up to 450 hp at 6,800 rpm and a maximum 540 Nm of torque of at 3,600 rpm."

Hydrogen engines can give you the best of both worlds, clean emissions and a nice loud exhaust (it's what enthusiasts crave!). So if everything is going electric, does that mean no more exhaust sounds? Not if hydrogen engines become a reality. There's just one big problem: fuel cells exist. They're basically twice as efficient, and storing hydrogen is already a challenge. It takes up a lot of space! With a fuel cell, you need much less hydrogen onboard, because you can use it more efficiently.

Is Threshold Braking Better Than Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS)? Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo There's a common misconception in car world that "threshold braking" is the be-all and end-all of performance braking, and that systems like ABS cause you to have longer stopping distances. Such is the hubris of a car enthusiast, who believes they are Lewis Hamilton (or Nicholas Latifi, whoever you prefer), nay they are better, and thus they don't need such aids like Anti-Lock Braking Systems slowing them down. True, if you car doesn't have ABS, you better learn to perfect your threshold braking technique, because it's all you have. But if you drive a modern car with ABS, it's going to outperform your braking time and time again. Don't believe me? Watch!

Essentially, money shifting is when you shift to a lower gear than what you were anticipating. This can cause the engine RPM to raise above redline, cause the driven wheels to lockup, and can cause clutch slip - all of which can result in big damage. In this video, we'll discuss what is money shifting, what happens internally when a car money shifts, and what the consequences of a money shift are. While driving a 2023 Nissan Z on track, I experienced my first money shift. After over 15 years of driving manual transmissions, I've unfortunately dirtied my clean driving record.

Americans Have Been Poisoned By Leaded Fuel For 100 Years From 1951 to 1980, nearly every American child had unhealthy lead levels. Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo We’re covering the infuriating story of leaded fuel. There are three main topics we need to cover: 1. We knew it was dangerous from the very beginning, yet used it for an entire century. We started off with ethanol, then decided to poisoned ourselves for a hundred years, then came back to using ethanol. 2. We’re STILL using it today. If you're near a local airport, you're likely breathing air with leaded fuel exhaust. 3. A new study indicates we’re dumber because of it. Like, all of us.

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV is here to dominate, both on road and off. GMC Hummer EV Technical Overview - https://youtu.be/LkM0L4_W_pM Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Deep diving into the Hummer EV; a vehicle I’m not sure I’ve ever had such conflicting thoughts about. On one hand, it’s a brilliant vehicle, wildly capable off-road, and genuinely feels like it has the ability to embarrass both the Ford Raptor and Ram TRX in any scenario, but on the other hand, it appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with a quote about “engineering a greener future.” There are three 250 kW electric motors, which combined give you 1,000 horsepower and 1200 lb-ft of torque. So despite weighing over 9,000 lbs, GM claims it’ll reach 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds. Now, allowing those three electric motors to provide an absurd launch is a massive battery pack; at over 2900 lbs, the battery pack alone weighs more than an entire Subaru BRZ. This battery has 205 kWh of energy available to use. It’s not a gimmick, it’s really quick, and it’s really capable off-road. Plain and simple, it’s very impressive to drive. But it also feels like a colossal waste of resources, and considering it weighs nearly as much as all three of cars that I own combined, I sincerely hope I never meet one in a collision. But I like it. I mean, I do. Dang. Watch the video for all the details.

Toyota has patented a manual transmission electric car that has one gear. The Audi RS e-Tron GT features a 2-speed transmission for the rear motor. Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Why don't electric cars have transmissions? It's a common question; and the truth is, they do have transmissions. Most drivers won't notice, because most electric cars have single-speed transmissions, meaning they never shift gears. Some electric cars, like the Audi e-Tron GT, as well as the Porsche Taycan, do actually have multiple gears. Both cars feature a 2-speed transmission for the rear drive unit, with a single speed up front. The game could change completely, however, after uncovering the latest patent applications from Toyota, which seeks to create a pseudo-manual transmission electric car. This video will focus on answering the following questions: 1) Why do Audi and Porsche use a two-speed transmission? 2) Why do most electric cars only use a single gear? 3) How would a fake manual transmission work, and why is Toyota considering it?

Using Corn For Fuel Seems Like A Dumb Idea In Light Of New Research Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Ethanol makes up 10% of most of the gasoline sold in the United States. A large part of why Ethanol is so prevalent is that the Renewable Fuel Standard, created in 2005, wanted to reduce the emissions of the fuels we use. Ethanol created from corn is renewable, because the corn takes carbon from the atmosphere to grow, creating a cycle that minimizes how much carbon is added to the atmosphere. At least, that's the story we were told. New research out of University of Wisconsin - Madison, suggests that "the carbon intensity of corn ethanol is no less than gasoline and likely at least 24% higher." What's the solution? We need to choose options that have a greater percentage of net emissions reductions, so that we don't unintentionally increase emissions if regulators estimated predictions are incorrect.

How Gasoline Direct Injection causes Chain Wear, Fuel Dilution, and LSPI. Oil formulations and testing can ensure direct injection engines are protected. Sponsored by Mobil 1 – https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/about-us/mobil-1/mobil-1-modern-engines/low-speed-pre-ignition-engine-protection One of the biggest changes to gasoline combustion engines in recent history is the mass adoption of direct injection technology. With direct injection, engines can run with higher compression ratios, higher boost, and higher efficiencies. The marvel has lead to widespread downsizing of engines, ditching large naturally aspirated engines in favor of smaller, turbocharged engines. But the industry shift didn’t happen without complications; these new engines have faced three big challenges: chain wear, fuel dilution, and LSPI. In this video we’ll discuss the differences between port and direct injection, what causes the issues direct injection engines face, and how oil formulations & testing can help solve these problems.

This means you can use the F-150's 98 kWh, or the extended battery pack's 131 kWh, to power the devices in your home when your local power utilities aren't working. It's a huge benefit of having an electric vehicle, and surprisingly, it's priced cheaper (per kWh) than a Tesla Powerwall. We'll analyze Ford's solution, Tesla solar, propane home generators, and devices like Wallbox that will eventually offer Vehicle-to-Home charging. Props to Ford for creating a very useful, clever solution to a real problem. If you could power your home with any EV, which would you choose?

Who can change their oil faster – a mechanic or an engineer?! Engineering Explained and Humble Mechanic face off in an Oil Change Race Sponsored by Mobil 1 - https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/motor-oils/mobil-1-motor-oil-products Jason of Engineering Explained has challenged Charles of Humble Mechanic to a race. An Oil Change Race, that is. Jason has a degree in mechanical engineering and worked briefly as a test engineer. Charles went to trade school to become an automotive technician and worked within the industry for over 13 years. The rules are simple! Change the oil on your car. Whoever does it faster wins. The following steps are generally required for an oil change: 1. Lift the car/drive up on ramps. 2. Drain the oil. 3. Replace and torque the oil pan drain bolt. 4. Remove the oil filter and replace with a new filter. 5. Fill the engine with new oil. 6. Lower the car/drive off ramps. 7. Check for oil leaks. 8. Check the oil level. 9. Properly dispose/recycle the old oil. BUT, for the purposes of the race, timing starts when you pop the hood, and timing stops when the hood is closed, before steps 7 through 9. In reality, you should never rush automotive maintenance, as it can lead to mistakes. Always be thorough and take your time to get things right! Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Is The Tesla Model S Plaid Under-Braked? Road vs Track Performance Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The Tesla Model S is the only production car I've ever seen that accelerates faster than it brakes. It's able to go from 0-60 mph in just 98 feet, while the reverse, 60-0 mph, takes 104 feet. That begs two questions: Is the Tesla Model S under-braked for road driving or track driving (or both)? And how in the world is it possible that the acceleration is stronger than the brakes. In this video we'll compare the Model S Plaid to the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, we'll discuss traction limited vs power limited, we'll look at anti-lock braking systems (ABS) vs traction control, and finally we'll talk about understeer and oversteer, and how braking is controlled at the limit for vehicle stability, by analyzing the C8 Corvette.

The Ford Bronco Is Packed With Clever Features To Dominate Off Road Ford Bronco Road Driving Review - https://youtu.be/tTfhU2g_FmE Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The Ford Bronco was made to unapologetically, absolutely dominate shopping mall parking lots, err... sorry, the competition off-road. Jokes aside, the Ford Bronco is packed with very clever, non-gimmicky features that are genuinely useful off-road, so we’ll be highlighting 10 of those features in this video. But I’m going to do my best to include a more realistic way each of these features can be used when inevitably your $50,000 purpose-built off-road machine ends up being more commonly used to bring home house plants from the local nursery. And like, maybe a bag of mulch, or something. While maybe it sounds like I’m mildly cynical about the new Ford Bronco, really and truly, it’s one of the most impressive vehicle’s I’ve driven offroad, and not just because it’s another truck with lots of ground clearance, big tires, and a proper four wheel drive system, but because so many aspects of it are engineered in a fashion that allows it to master its craft, without gimmicks. It’s a crazy popular vehicle, but it actually lives up to the hype. If the only complaints I have about it are poor fuel economy and range, I’d call that a huge win considering it’s a 5,000 lb brick shaped object. A beautiful brick, I might add. I love the Bronco, and if you happen to get your hands on one, you probably will too. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

How 85 Octane Fuel Can Destroy Your Engine And Void Your Warranty Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo It's very important to put the correct fuel in your car, whether that's 87 regular gas, or 91 premium gas. Using the wrong fuel, at an octane rating too low for your vehicle, can result in severe engine damage caused by knock. Lower octane rating fuels are more susceptible to knock. In some high elevation states, 85 octane fuel is sold, which should not be used by modern cars. Why would we sell a fuel in the United States that could destroy your engine? Well it worked just fine with old, carbureted cars. But modern cars with electronic fuel injection and electronic ignition timing don't like it. Why not? Watch the video to see why this fuel is still sold today, how elevation impacts octane rating, and why modern cars can't use it. It can even void your warranty! Wild.

Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Is it better for the environment to keep your car that already works, thus not creating something new and using new resources, or to buy something new that's more efficient? Gas cars require less emissions to produce than electric cars, so out of the gate they're more environmentally friendly. However, gasoline cars produce far more emissions while in use, versus electric cars, so eventually the scales tilt in favor of EVs. But is it within a meaningful amount of time, or should we simply be preventing the creation of new waste, by keeping and maintaining what we already have? And what about all of those metals required for EV batteries? In this video we'll focus on both the emissions and the resources, to determine if you should keep your used car, or buy a new car, as it relates to going green.

How do you know if your engine is healthy? How To Read An Oil Analysis! Sponsored by Mobil 1 – Link below to enter the Road Trip Sweepstakes! http://bit.ly/jfyt_omort What happens to an engine oil over a road trip? We’ll travel 3,000 miles, and perform an oil analysis before and after to find out. There are two main purposes of an oil analysis. First, you want to check engine health, by looking at wear and contaminants. Various metals can help you identify any significantly wearing engine parts. Contaminants can tell you if you have any engine coolant leaking into the cylinders, and how well your engine air filter and oil filters are working. Second, you want to check your oil’s health, to know if you can keep using it, need to change it, or learn what your appropriate oil change interval should be. The analysis will cover viscosity, TBN, fuel dilution, oxidation, nitration, soot, water, and coolant, as indicators for the oil’s health. You can also check additive levels, like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How Powershifting In A Turbo Car Leads To Faster Acceleration! Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Powershifting, no-lift shifting, or flat foot shifting is a method of changing gears in a manual transmission where you do not take your foot off the gas pedal. Unfortunately, this shifting method is very tough on clutches, so there's a right way and a wrong way of doing it. Cadillac, with the CT4-V Blackwing, has developed a methodology to powershifting that maintains boost pressure of the twin-turbo V6 engine, while reducing the engine load during the shift. This clever trick involves altering ignition timing, wastegate control, and the bypass valve control. In the end, the desired result is great - a seamless manual transmission shift, all without lifting your foot off the throttle.

One of those statements is true, now that MotorTrend has gotten behind the wheel of the Plaid and tested on a drag strip. As it turns out, when Elon Musk claimed the Model S Plaid would have a 0-60 of 1.96 seconds, "MotorTrend Spec," that doesn't hold up to MotorTrend's spec test of 2.07 seconds. This video will deep dive into the testing procedures, how 0-60 is tested with and without rollout, as well as with and without VHT TrackBite, an adhesive used for drag strip track preparation. We'll cover what MotorTrend spec actually means, why rollout isn't a "standard," and why, even if it was, it doesn't make any sense. And, the best part, I'll admit I was wrong in my prediction of no car accelerating faster than it can brake. Turns out, Tesla destroys this theory - how exciting! Watch the video to learn more!

Could Toyota's hydrogen engine save combustion by converting engines? Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Toyota has developed a hydrogen combustion engine with nearly negligible harmful emissions. The project involved a Toyota Corolla Sport which participated in a 24 hour endurance race, using a 1.6L turbo inline three-cylinder out of the GR Yaris. The idea was to convert a gasoline engine to a hydrogen engine, as an alternative to creating new electric cars. With hydrogen combustion, oxygen and hydrogen are burned, providing useful work, with water as the only main emissions. Naoaki Ito, one of the lead engineers on the project, puts it well: “For this hydrogen-powered engine, the engine itself remains the same as before. Our concept for this project was to create a hydrogen engine by using as much of the existing internal combustion technology as possible. We thought that achieving this would enable the conversion of existing car engines to hydrogen, providing a powerful weapon in the quest for carbon neutrality.” Related Videos: Hydrogen Engines = Bad Idea - https://youtu.be/1Ajq46qHp0c Gas vs Hydrogen Engines - https://youtu.be/l6ECwRnJ0Sg Hydrogen Rotary Engine - https://youtu.be/U-n5L0cXcpg References: Toyota Hydrogen Press Release - https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/35209996.html?_ga=2.5012979.1350139790.1623701662-1632477238.1623701662 Toyota Hydrogen Conversion - https://toyotatimes.jp/en/insidetoyota/143.html Toyota 24 Hour Race Results - https://toyotatimes.jp/en/insidetoyota/150.html Hydrogen Combustion Methods - https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/9/22/4842 Hydrogen Carbon Emissions - https://www.avl.com/documents/4053291/0/PDiM+2019_Energy+Landscape_Martin+Rothbart_AVL.pdf Gas Carbon Emissions - https://climatekids.nasa.gov/review/carbon/gasoline.html#:~:text=Burning%206.3%20pounds%20of%20gasoline,Huh!%3F JRC Well-To-Wheels Report - https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC85327 Hydrogen Production Costs - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2016.09.044 Mirai Fuel Tank Weight - https://insideevs.com/news/323973/toyota-mirai-fuel-cell-sedan-priced-at-57500-specs-videos/ Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo With electric cars becoming more popular and a shift towards renewable energy sources is taking place, an obvious question becomes: why don't we simply put solar panels on top of cars? Could this help with the lack of charging infrastructure? Realistically, what would it take for solar powered cars to work out, and why haven't they been successful up until this point? This video will analyze the surface area of a modern car, providing an estimate for how much solar power it could actually generate, what speeds the cars could be capable of, and how long the cars would take to charge. We'll take into consideration the solar constant, the amount of solar power that actually reaches Earth's surface, the efficiency limits of solar panels, the curvature of the Earth (it isn't flat), and analyze how this impacts a solar car's performance. We'll also check out Aptera Motors, who's planning to make a car that will never need to charge, thanks to solar panels!

According to a poll on my channel, the majority of drivers don't want to drive more than 500 miles in a day. If I can drive double that, 1,000 miles, in a day, surely electric cars make a bit more sense for the masses than we might think? We'll look at how long it takes to drive 1,000 miles in a Tesla Model 3 Performance. We'll also cover how much time is spent driving versus charging, how many stops are required, how much energy is required, and how much it all costs.

2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 vs 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 - Aerodynamic Comparison! Thanks to Mobil 1 for sponsoring a portion of this video! Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The Porsche Cayman GT4 and GTS 4.0 both feature a naturally aspirated flat-six cylinder engine. They both have PDK and manual transmissions offered. And in this case, they're both the same shade of blue. But there are actually dramatic differences in terms of how these cars perform, much of which might be overlooked by the naked eye. The aerodynamics of the GT4 are all about downforce, while the GTS 4.0 is all about minimizing lift. The GT4 has an upgraded chassis, suspension, wheels, tires, engine tune, and many aerodynamic changes to maximized downforce and minimize drag. Part of the solution? A dimpled underside, similar to that used on a golf ball! On a golf ball, these little dimples cause turbulence, meaning little pockets of swirling air, so instead of a laminar boundary layer, you have a turbulent boundary layer. In this case, the turbulent boundary layer stays attached to the golf ball longer, wrapping around the ball, meaning the wake behind the golf ball is smaller when the airflow detaches from the golf ball, and a lower pressure region forms. With a smaller wake, the ball has less drag, and thus can travel farther. Porsche says the same logic applies to the GT4, in their words: “At the front end, the special surface on its underside is dimpled, reminiscent of that of a golf ball. As a result, the airflow follows the contour more precisely, reducing drag.” Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

The rear mounted engine is a naturally aspirated, 4.0L boxer six-cylinder, producing 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. The car weighs 3,126 lbs with a manual transmission - you read correctly, it will indeed offer a manual transmission, or 3,164 lbs with 7-speed PDK. The car is wider, has more grip, and the engine is nearly direct out of the GT3 Cup racecar. Significant effort has gone into taking weight out of the car. Removing the rear seats takes out 22 lbs. An optional carbon fiber roof can remove 2 lbs. A reduction in sound deadening vs the 992 pulls out 4.2 lbs. A thinner liner behind the seats removes 2.6 pounds. Carbon bucket seats pull out 33 lbs. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes pull out 39 lbs vs the standard brakes. Versus the previous GT3, 10.4 lbs have been removed by lightweight glass, 5.5 lbs from the front fascia and hood, 1.1 lbs from the rear fascia, 3 lbs from the front wheels, and 22 lbs from the lightweight stainless steel exhaust. Engine revisions and revised engine mounts have pulled out 16.7 lbs and 7.7 lbs respectively, and there’s now a lithium ion battery that pulls out 22 lbs vs the GT3, which is centrally mounted behind the front hood.

Whether it’s the big auto magazines, the marketing advertisements, or the Subaru forums, there’s certainly a rally aura surrounding the WRX. That appeal is part of why the Subaru STI was the first new car I ever bought, a 2014 Hatch in World Rally Blue. But the first time I took my Subaru on anything other than smooth pavement, it didn’t exactly feel at home. The suspension is very stiff, and there’s not much ground clearance. Sure, the AWD system is fantastic, but there are plenty of vehicles with great AWD systems. DirtFish Rally School, based in Snoqualmie, Washington, invited me to their three day rally program. Here, I was able to chat with their instructors and technicians, many of whom participate in rally racing across the country. Over the three days, on top of dialing in driving techniques, I was curious to learn about what physical changes they make to these cars in order to have them properly set up as rally cars, ready to thrash their courses, keep the occupants safe, and maybe even remain comfortable. And it’s not nearly as simple as you might think - throw on some rally tires and call it a day.

That's big shoes to fill! This long-range all electric vehicle is competing in a highly sought after market, and America's latest crave: the crossover. The ID.4 features 250 miles of range with a 82 kWh battery pack (77 kWh useable), 201 HP and 229 lb-ft of torque, and RWD. The permanent magnet synchronous motor spins up to 16,000 RPM! It all sounds very exciting, but unfortunately the ID.4 feels like it has come a bit short on the promise of bring "electric cars to the millions, not the millionaires." Even with the $7,500 tax credit, the starting price of nearly $40,000 is still a tad high. Especially considering the AWD variants will easily push to $50k with options. But the bigger disappointments come from the current charging system: Electrify America. You'd think charging and navigating a VW on VW's own funded and created network would be seamless, but for now, it's anything but. Check out the video for all the details.

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption - How Massive Engines Can Be Efficient Comparing Engine Performance: BMEP - https://youtu.be/bE_1JYrlYYU Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) is a great way to compare the efficiency of engines. It's often referred to in units of g/kWh, (for example: 200 g/kWh) and represents the amount of fuel flowing into the engine versus how much power the engine actually makes. BSFC is directly correlated to the efficiency of an engine. The lower the BSFC, the more efficient an engine is. In this video we'll define brake specific fuel consumption, show how it correlates with efficiency, look at a BSFC map, compare BSFC with RPM, air-fuel ratio, and engine size, and talk about ways of optimizing BSFC. We'll also look at how you can analyze the BSFC of your car engine if you have an MPG readout. This is helpful in determining what the best gear to be in for maximum efficiency.

Subaru's New 2.4L Boxer Engine Is The Perfect Match For The BRZ & GT86 A combination of the Subaru BRZ & Subaru Ascent engines leads to a potent 2.4L boxer. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Deep dive into the 2022 Subaru BRZ 2.4L Boxer engine. This is a naturally aspirated version of the 2.4L turbo coming out of the Subaru Ascent. In this video we'll look at how it stacks up versus the previous BRZ engine, discuss why it's a good decision to keep it naturally aspirated, look at the torque curve, discuss wheel torque, and look into Toyota's D-4S direct plus port injection fuel system, as well as the advantages of such system. Subaru's Press Release: "Running counter to the current trend of power over precision, the 2022 Subaru BRZ focuses on simplicity and fun. Designed to deliver an unmatched driving experience, the all-new BRZ features a new and more powerful 228 horsepower 2.4-liter horizontally opposed engine. Sitting low in the chassis, the Subaru BOXER’s unique design allows the BRZ to achieve a Center of Gravity (CoG) even lower than the previous BRZ and on par with exotic hyper-cars. The ultra-low CoG is critical to delivering unrivaled handling, with a low polar moment and quick reaction to driver inputs. The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine redlines at 7,000 RPM and delivers a 15-percent increase in torque. The 2022 BRZ will be offered in both Premium and Limited trims and is available with two transmission choices; a standard six-speed manual or an available six-speed automatic with a new Sport mode designed for more aggressive driving. The new Sport mode allows for more rapid downshifts with automatic throttle blipping and utilizes yaw sensors to hold the transmission in a lower gear during hard cornering to maximize performance. Despite its sporting intentions, the 2022 Subaru BRZ does not sacrifice everyday comfort and practicality. The 2+2 seating and folding rear seats create a useful cargo area that has space for carrying a mountain bike, golf clubs, or even four race tires and tools for track days. Utilizing aluminum for the roof, front fenders and hood, the 2022 Subaru BRZ has an estimated curb weight of just under 2,900 lbs., delivering on its promise of accessible performance. The BRZ’s bold new styling is as impressive as its handling prowess. The overall impression is modern, agile and powerful, with focused and functional aerodynamic details. The tidy coupe design is just over an inch longer and almost half an inch lower than its predecessor, resulting in a low and wide frontal area set off by large functional air intakes. The grille is set low and is capped by proud fender arches that allow just enough room for suspension points. A narrowed greenhouse accentuates the bold fender flares and the roofline features a subtle “double bubble” appearance, a nod to vintage racing cars. The aggressive design flows into bold front fenders with a large side vent. The functional side vent reduces drag by ducting air from under the hood and fenders. The released air is directed to a side sill spoiler that creates downforce at speed. A small fin at the back of the rear-wheel arch also assists in airflow adding stability at speed. At the rear of the car, the large rear fenders and wider track flow into dual exhausts for a low and wide stance. This visual heft is lightened by a narrower greenhouse and rear hatch which flow into a dramatic upturned “ducktail” rear spoiler."

This video will focus on the 10 best features of the Mach-E, including exterior features, a large central touchscreen, unique door handles & locks, artificial sounds, and a frunk filled with chicken wings. Ford's Press Release: "For the first time in 55 years, Ford is expanding the Mustang family, bringing the famous pony into the electric age with Mustang Mach-E, an all-new, all-electric SUV born of the same all-American ideals that inspired the best-selling sports coupe in the world. When it arrives in late 2020, Mustang Mach-E will be available with standard and extended-range battery options with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive powered by permanent magnet motors. Equipped with an extended-range battery and rear-wheel drive, Mach-E has a targeted EPA-estimated range of at least 300 miles.1 In extended-range all-wheel-drive configurations, Mach-E is targeting 332 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque2 – with the standard all-wheel-drive variation targeting quicker times to 60 mph than the base Porsche Macan series.3 Ford also will offer two special performance versions. The GT is targeting 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds, making it faster off the line than a Porsche Macan Turbo. The GT Performance Edition, meanwhile, is targeting a comparable 0-60 mph in the mid-3-second range to a Porsche 911 GTS. Both GT configurations are targeting an estimated 342 kW (459 horsepower) and 830 Nm (612 lb.-ft.) of torque. Mustang Mach-E will be available in both standard-range (75.7 kWh lithium-ion battery) and extended-range (98.8 kWh battery), which has a targeted EPA-estimated range of at least 300 miles in rear-wheel-drive configuration.1 These advanced batteries feature 288 lithium-ion cells in the standard-range version and 376 lithium-ion cells in the extended-range. Designed for ease of manufacturing, the battery is located on the floor between the vehicle’s two axles – and tested at temperatures as extreme as minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The batteries are secured inside a waterproof battery case surrounded by crash-absorption protection. They are liquid-cooled to optimize performance in extreme weather and to improve charging times. As electric vehicle owners do 80 percent of their charging at home, Ford offers a Ford Connected Charging station that can add an estimated average range of 32 miles per charging hour on a 240V outlet, based on extended-range, rear-wheel-drive configuration.7 The Ford mobile charger, included with the vehicle, can add an estimated average range of 22 miles per charging hour on a 240V outlet,7 the same used for a conventional oven. Ford is teaming up with Amazon Home to facilitate easy customer home installation by a licensed electrician."

4 Ways Hyundai's Veloster N DCT Outperforms The Manual Transmission Version EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2021 Hyundai Veloster N has stepped up the game, especially with the 8-speed DCT. It now features N Grin Shift, N Power Shift, N Track Sense Shift, and launch control. Now these may sound like video game features, but that’s kinda what Hyundai is going for here with the experience, and the good news is each of these features actually have tangible performance improvements that they provide for the car. From a performance standpoint, these features set the dual clutch Veloster N apart from the manual transmission version. N Grin Shift The whole idea of N Grin Shift is to temporarily give you more performance. Pressing a button on your steering wheel allows your engine to increase boost for up to 20 seconds! N Power Shift This feature alone reduces the 0-100 kph time (or 0-62 mph time) by 0.2 seconds. It's like power shifting in a manual transmission, except you've got a wet, multi-plate clutch to handle the driveline shock! N Track Sense Shift N Track Sense Shift is a predictive shift logic that’s based on how you’re driving. If you start driving more aggressively, the system matches the gearbox response to your driving style. If you’re accelerating hard, turning at higher g’s, and braking hard, the system is going to use the most aggressive gear shift strategy possible. Launch Control (DCT) Now there’s another cool feature that differentiates the DCT model from the manual transmission, and that’s launch control. Both transmissions offer launch control, but there are several advantages with the DCT. It employs five techniques, which we'll break down in this video, to execute a powerful launch.

Learn more about Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil: https://bit.ly/mobil1-synthetic-vs-conventional What’s the difference between synthetic and conventional motor oil? There are many advantages of synthetic motor oils, and in this video we’ll be focusing on four key areas. First, we’ll talk about viscosity index, and why synthetics tend to have less change in viscosity with temperature change. Second, we’ll examine volatility, and how synthetic’s more uniform molecular structure helps prevent burning off oil in your engine. Third, we’ll look at how a motor oil made with synthetic base oils impacts the use of viscosity modifiers, which can cause deposit formation within your engine. Finally, we’ll discuss oxidation, which ultimately is a cause of sludge and leading factor necessitating oil changes, as oxygen reacts with motor oil and causes it to thicken with time.

Can One Tire Really Work In Every Climate? Michelin CrossClimate2 Is Made For Any Weather 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Tire That You Can Use Year Round - Sponsored By Michelin Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How is it possible for a tire to perform well in all four seasons? How does something that has the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake, which is a certification of winter performance, also have wear characteristics that hold up to hot summer temperatures, all while stacking up against today’s best all-season tires? First off, I think there’s some important backstory. I was looking for a tire for my Crosstrek that I could genuinely leave on four all four seasons. Why? Because I’m lazy. In my research, the best tire I could find was the Michelin CrossClimate+, an all-season tire certified for winter conditions. So, that’s what I bought. Well, as it turns out, Michelin had already been working on another version of the this tire, the CrossClimate 2, and they asked me if I’d be interested in trying it out early. So overall - what’s the strategy? On one hand you can have a winter tire. It’s great in deep snow & ice compared to other tires, but not as great at dry or wet braking in higher temperatures, nor great for dry handling. On the other hand you can have a summer tire - excellent performance in dry and usually wet as well, great handling when the temperatures are nice, but you definitely don’t want to drive on these in snowy or icy conditions, or even really cold temperatures depending on the tire. Very big picture, what we have here is a tire that uses a compound that’s quite similar to a winter compound, but it uses a tread pattern that’s more similar to a summer tread pattern, in that it has very few sipes and cuts, which puts the tire in a very unique position. The ability to be a certified 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Tire, and thanks to the tread pattern, significantly less wear than a traditional winter tire when it’s driven on in summer months.

It's packed with innovative tech, sharing commonalities with F1 pre-chamber engine technology. It's a 3.0L, twin-turbo V6 engine making 620 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The prechamber technology allows for greater power output by reducing engine knock. Watch the video to learn all about it! Maserati Nettuno Press Release: "The new power unit has a V90° architecture, with a 3-litre, 6-cylinder twin-turbo, and features a dry sump (a classic solution on super sportscars). It delivers 630CV at 7500rpm and 730 Nm of torque from 3000rpm with a specific power output of 210CV/litre. The compression ratio is 11:1, the stroke is 82 mm and the bore 88 mm. The soul of the engine is the innovative pre-chamber combustion system featuring twin-spark plugs. This technology is derived from Formula 1 and is now available, for the first time, on an engine destined for the road. The engine has three main features: The pre-chamber: a combustion chamber is set between the central electrode and the traditional combustion chamber and connected by a series of specially-designed holes. Lateral sparkplug: a traditional sparkplug acts as a support to ensure constant combustion when the engine is operating at a level that doesn’t need the pre-chamber to kick in. Twin injection system – direct and indirect: linked to the fuel supply pressure at 350bar, the system reduces noise low down on the rev range, lowering emissions and improving consumption."

The Track Only T.50s has more power, more downforce, and less weight. The Best Driver's Car Ever? T.50 Overview - https://youtu.be/Z-Z1lFK1b5o Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s is the track-only version of their latest supercar. It has a 4.0L naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 720 horsepower, it weighs less than 900 kg, and it creates over 1500 kg of downforce. That's enough downforce to even drive upside down. Murray: “Designing the racing car’s aerodynamics has been extremely rewarding. My love for motorsport really fueled the development of this car. The aerodynamics are so effective that the T.50s would be capable of driving upside down, and could do so at as little as 175mph.” GMA Press Release: "Gordon Murray Automotive has announced a racing-focused version of the T.50 supercar that will be even lighter, faster, and more powerful. With all of the road-going T.50 supercars selling out within 48 hours of the global premiere, customer demand has turned to the 25 super-exclusive and highly-individual racing models. Priced at £3.1m (before taxes) the racing variant – codenamed T.50s – weighs just 890kg, while its Cosworth GMA V12 engine develops even more power. The new car also features a 1,758mm-wide delta wing mounted to the rear of the car, which works with the rear-mounted fan, a new front splitter, underbody aerofoil and adjustable diffusers to generate more than 1,500kg of downforce – 170% of the weight of the car. The new car’s historically-significant official name will be announced later this year at its global reveal. More than half of the exclusive production run has already been sold – before any details were released. Murray now expects interest to soar as prospective owners hear of the boundary breaking performance potential of the T.50s. Professor Gordon Murray: “With an unwavering focus on performance, and free from road-going legislation and maintenance considerations, the T.50s will achieve astonishing performance on track, demonstrating the full extent of the car’s capabilities. We’ve thrown everything at pushing this car beyond the levels of anything that’s been done before – it’s a celebration of British engineering and our team’s extensive motorsport experience.” The extensively re-engineered T.50s features hundreds of significant revisions for race and track use over the road-going T.50. The stripped-back interior highlights the track focus and contributes to the new car’s 94kg weight loss. This enhanced lightweighting and the car’s phenomenal downforce ratio will ensure the car performs like nothing else on a racing circuit."

How in the world is the Tesla capable of literally double the Porsche’s range: 402 miles versus 201 miles. Speculation often goes as follows: 1. Tesla is cheating and lying about their actual range figures. False! 2. The EPA is in love with Tesla and gives them favorable results. False! 3. Porsche is sandbagging, understating the true range of their cars by publishing conservative figures about range. Mostly false! In this video we'll dive into how Tesla achieves a 201 mile range advantage over the Porsche Taycan, by analyzing EPA testing, battery capacity, powertrain and regenerative braking efficiency, voluntary range reductions, and the differences in road load (resistive forces) acting on each vehicle.

Is Gordon Murray's T.50 Supercar The Best Driver's Car Ever? The 1,000 HP Naturally Aspirated V12 - https://youtu.be/Tq2vrqqlSNg Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Gordon Murray wanted to build the best drivers car, period. The formula is pretty simple: lightweight, central driving position, naturally aspirated V12, manual transmission, and rear wheel drive. The formula sounds great, but it’s actually a rather difficult thing to market. What are you going to brag about? The V12 is small, and not all that powerful. The manual transmission shifts seem pathetically slow in comparison to today’s stupid fast dual clutch transmissions. People don’t care nearly enough about weight, but they do care about horsepower, and 654 horsepower can be found in family sedans these days. When other companies are making new supercars, they’re picking what they want it to be good at. Best track car, quickest acceleration, highest top speed. But these accolades only last for so long, and they don’t even mean that the car is fun to drive. But they’re bragging rights. When it comes to buying supercars, there’s a lot of ego involved. Marketing teams obviously know this, so cars are flashy, exotic, and break records to make talking points. And while I certainly admire the engineering that goes into it, many of these exotics aren’t all that special to drive. Here’s an example with two cars. For about $36,000, you can buy a base Mustang GT with 460 horsepower, or a Club ND Miata and Brembo package with 181 horsepower. The nearly 300 horsepower bump is all most people need to hear, and the Mustang routinely outsells the Miata on a monthly basis, by as much as 10 times the quantity. The fact that the MX-5 weighs 1400 lbs less, an absurd amount, just doesn’t seem to be an effective talking point. Very few people care. So why is this T.50 good? Simply put, because it’s fun. I’ve had the privilege to be able to drive hundreds of different cars, and from my experience, the amount of money you spend on a car doesn’t determine how much fun you’ll have driving it. And while the T.50 is silly expensive, it says forget the records, we’re building something rewarding to drive. It’s not about ego, it’s about having fun, and that’s the edge it has over all of the other supercars today. From The Gordon Murray Automotive Media Kit: "The T.50 has been engineered to be the purest, lightest, most driver-centric supercar ever. Improving on his acclaimed McLaren F1 “in every conceivable way”, Professor Gordon Murray CBE is leading the team that will begin building customer versions of the 986kg supercar in January 2022. Justifying its £2.36m (before taxes) price tag, the T.50 promises to deliver an unsurpassed driving experience. It is powered by a 100% bespoke 3.9-litre, 663PS V12 engine that revs to a record-breaking 12,100rpm, and features the most advanced and effective aerodynamics ever seen on a road car – aided by a 400mm rear-mounted fan. The global premiere is the first time the clean lines of the exterior and the driver-focused interior have been seen. From his first ballpoint sketches, to every engineering and design detail, Murray has led the Gordon Murray Automotive team and briefed and overseen suppliers to drive the project forward at an unrelenting pace. Murray’s design for T.50 was the 50th in a prestigious line of race and road cars he’s penned over his illustrious 50-year career – both reasons combining to name the car T.50. The most dominant characteristics of the T.50 exterior design are its purity and balance, free from the wings, skirts and vents that adorn most modern-day supercars. The clean surfaces are enabled by the most advanced and effective aerodynamics ever seen on a road car, resulting in deliberately simple, beautiful lines and a timeless appearance."

The Fastest Truck In The World - Ram TRX vs Ford Raptor Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 702 horsepower, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, quarter mile in 12.9 seconds, and a top speed of 118 miles per hour. According to RAM it’s the quickest, fastest, and most powerful mass-produced truck in the world, so in this video we’re going to check out the clever engineering that has gone into it, how it may dominate the Ford Raptor (perhaps not for very long), and throw in a few bad jokes to keep our spirits high. If you’re wondering if Dodge, Ram, and the likes of Chrysler have run out of ideas, well, the answer is no, because they still haven’t fit the hellcat engine into their entire lineup. To recap, we have a hellcat challenger, charger, grand cherokee, and durango. I know we’re all patiently awaiting news of the Pacifica, but in the meantime the good news is the mission of hellcatting all the things draws closer to success with the launch of the Ram TRX. Under the hood is yes, the beautiful 6.2L Supercharged V8 you’ve come to love from the Hellcat lineup. It produces 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in the TRX. And the engine is ready to be pushed, with a cast-iron block, forged-steel crankshaft, powder-forged connecting rods, and forged-alloy pistons. Some changes versus the other hellcats include a deep sump oil pan to keep the pickup tube in the oil under high g cornering, and the alternator has been moved higher to allow for 32 inches of water fording. The air entering the engine comes from two locations. Half of it is fed through the functional hood scoop, and the other half from a ram air intake at the front of the grill. If you have a big truck with a big engine making big power out in a desert environment, well, you’re going to need some serious filtering. That’s why the RAM Trex has not just one, but two air filters, each measuring about 8x12 inches. The airbox is mounted up top, helping allow for that high water fording depth, in addition to providing easy access for the owner to clean out the filter elements. Ram states based on industry-standard tests, the Trex can ingest dirty air and debris longer than any competitor before performance begins to diminish. Here’s a bonkers fact about how much heat this engine has to reject from the intake charge. At wide open throttle, the intercooler is rejecting 40 kilowatts of heat, all of this heat just from the intake air alone. As far as the four wheel drive system, there’s an active transfer case which has a low range with 2.64:1 gearing, and the transfer case will vary the torque split depending on which mode you’re in: auto, sport, snow, tow, mud, and baja. Torque is sent to the front and rear differentials, and in the rear is an electronic locking diff, paired with a Dana 60 solid rear axle with full-floating shafts. From the differentials, we move out to the wheels, which you can option beadlock wheels from the factory. The Trex has over 13 inches of wheel travel in both the front and rear. Up front is an independent, active suspension with forged aluminum upper and lower control arms designed to maintain the appropriate camber angles during their long travel. There are massive, 2.5 wide Bilstein adaptive dampers in both the front and the rear which use a single-piece aluminum construction with machined cooling fins for heat dissipation. In the rear is a 5-link coil suspension that allows the solid axle to travel up to 13 inches! Pairing the T-Rex side by side with the Ford Raptor, it’s pretty obvious what Ram was benchmarking. Many of the stats line up near perfectly, with the Trex having slight advantages. The most notable difference, really, is the power. 252 more horsepower, and 140 more lb-ft of torque versus the Raptor. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Can thin motor oils protect your engine? Sponsored by Mobil 1 motor oil – Visit AutoZone to find the right Mobil 1 motor oil for you: https://bit.ly/2P218TW What do oil weights mean? What does 5W-30 mean? Do thinner oils get better fuel economy? Do thin oils like 0W-20 protect your engine? I spent some time discussing these questions with Mobil 1 engineers and am excited to share what I learned. There’s an incredible amount of testing and verification that goes into labeling a motor oil’s viscosity rating, which is the single most important factor for how a motor oil will perform in an engine. Motor oil is responsible for protecting your engine, removing contaminants, reducing friction and cooling your engine. Plus, motor oil creates a protective barrier between moving metal parts allowing for your engine’s longevity. In this video we’ll use a 6.2L V8 engine cutaway from the C8 Corvette to better see and understand how oil interacts with automotive engines. #Mobil1Partner Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

What Is Rev Hang And How Does It Ruin Manual Transmission Shifting? Sponsored by Advance Auto Parts - https://bit.ly/engineering-explained-shop-advance-auto Use discount code ENGINEERING for a site-wide discount of 25% off! Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 What is rev hang? Rev hang is a common problem with modern manual transmissions where the engine RPM does not drop immediately once you press the clutch in, even if you're completely removed your foot from the throttle. This delay in engine RPM dropping causes the car to jerk & rough shifting in manual transmission vehicles. What causes rev hang? Rev hang often gets blamed on heavy flywheels, but that's not actually what causes it. It's a result of modern cars switching to electronic throttle bodies. What's the difference between mechanical and electronic throttle bodies? Overall, electronic throttle bodies are a good thing! They provide better tuning of cruise control, they allow for smoother shifts with automatic transmissions, they can improve how quickly catalytic converters heat up by controlling the balance of air/fuel ratios and throttle position, they can improve throttle control during cylinder deactivation, they can remove driving jerk in manual transmission vehicles, they can provide safety features like improvements for stability control, traction control, and reducing throttle input if the brake pedal is pressed, and the list goes on! However, they can also be used to improve vehicle emissions, and this often comes with the negative side effect of rev hang. Check out the video to learn all about it!

Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Porsche Surface Coated Brakes have a thin layer of tungsten carbide on the outside of the rotor. This tungsten carbide layer means no rust, significantly less brake dust, and they don't have brake fade typical of cast-iron brake rotors. The tungsten carbide layer is applied using high velocity oxygen fuel spray, and provides a rotor that lasts about 30% longer than traditional iron rotors. Better performance comes at a price, but they're about 1/3 the cost of carbon ceramic rotors. These PSCB rotors come standard on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Cayenne Coupe Turbo.

Will the Tesla Roadster be able to fly? Using everything that's been stated about the Tesla Roadster Space X Thruster package, we'll deep dive into how the system works and what sort of performance metrics you can expect to see as a result. The Tesla Roadster will use an electric air pump, powered by the main battery, to compress air into a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel (COPV). The COPV will deliver highly compressed air (~10,000 PSI) to around 10 cold gas thrusters integrated around the vehicle. This cold gas thrusters will allow for incredible acceleration, braking, cornering, and potentially even the ability to fly.

How Heat Pumps Work - A Super Efficient Way To Heat Electric Cars Here's How The Tesla Model Y Tripled Its Heating Efficiency Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The Tesla Model Y has a device you won't find in the other Teslas. This device is a heat pump, and it's a super efficient way of heating a cabin. Many electric cars use resistive heaters, as they cannot rely on the hot coolant from a combustion engine to heat the air for the occupants. This resistive heat draws energy from the battery, meaning cold weather range can be severely reduced for electric cars, unlike heating a gasoline power car. The Tesla Model Y has a clever trick to dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed to heat the cabin. Is the Tesla Model Y good in cold weather?

Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Ford's engineering has entered the fight against the coronavirus, COVID-19. They've developed a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator, or PAPR. The demand for these devices in medical facilities has surpassed the supply, and Ford saw this as an opportunity to lend their expertise towards a worthy cause, and help temporarily boost supply by developing their own unit. The device went from being an idea on a sheet of paper to a production unit in just 38 days. Incredibly fast. The plastic housing design did not exist prior. The tooling for the housing didn’t exist prior, and yet in this video I'm able to hold something that engineers put together from start to finish in about a month — the same duration it takes me to respond to an e-mail. When I heard about this project, it reminded me of the story of Apollo 13, where they have to make a square filter fit in a circular hole, using the supplies laid out in front of them representing what the astronauts had. Hours after I heard about the project, I found out Ford called this “Project Apollo.” Watch the video to learn all about it! Related Info: 1. Purchase Ford PPE https://ppe.ford.com/ 2.

Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 One of the best ways to compare engines is BMEP - Brake Mean Effective Pressure. This is the average pressure applied to pistons during the power stroke that results in the measured torque output. In simple terms, it's a way of analyzing torque per liter of engines. Using BMEP, we can answer fascinating questions: How is Ford's 5.0L Mustang engine more impressive than Ferrari's 812 Superfast V12 (at its time the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in any road car ever)? What's embarrassing about Rolls-Royce's twin-turbo V12 engine? How much power can naturally aspirated engines make? Is it worth modifying naturally aspirated engines? BMEP answers all! BMEP is fascinating! If you watch through to the end, I'm 99% sure your mind will be as blown as mine was researching for this video!

Sponsored by eBay Motors, download the app here! - https://ebayvehicle.com/app/engexplained Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 I went shopping for an Acura NSX. I found one from 1992 in red; it was absolutely gorgeous, low miles, and had a two-owner clean history. I went for a test drive, and that's where things fell apart. I had in my head how legendary of a car this was, but it unfortunately didn't live up to my expectations. Don't get me wrong, the NSX is quite good. The shifting is absolutely perfect, the torque curve genuinely impressed me for a relatively low powered engine, and the handling was without a doubt quite solid. However the steering and the braking left a lot to be desired, which I was shocked by, considering the manual steering rack.

What Is The Battery-To-Wheel Efficiency Of A Tesla Model 3? Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring a portion of this video. Click here to start using LastPass: https://lastpass.onelink.me/HzaM/2020Q1MarchEngineeringExplained How efficient are Teslas? Now I’m not talking about MPG ratings here, anyone can look up efficiency ratings. The 2018 Model 3 Performance is rated at 116 mpg combined equivalent; what I’m curious about, is how much energy that starts in the battery, actually makes it to the wheels to push the car forward? What percentage of the battery power goes towards useful work? This turned out to be quite challenging, but the results are fascinating; enjoy the watch! Calculating Variables For aerodynamic drag, air density was determined using an air density calculator plugging in ambient conditions (temperature, pressure, humidity) for when and where the testing occurred. This results in an air density of 0.00245183 slug/ft^3 (whatever a slug is). The drag coefficient was determined using the frontal area of the Tesla Model S and relating to the size and shape of the Tesla Model 3, estimated at 23.69 square feet (2.2 m^2). Actual velocity was determined using GPS, not the onboard displayed speed; a correction factor (approximately 0.97 derived from 72.7 mph = displayed 75 mph) is applied to aerodynamic drag to ensure displayed speed matches actual tested speed. Tesla provides drag coefficient at 0.23. The total weight of the vehicle includes my weight, for a total of 4,225 lbs. A coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.01 is used. The very best “green tires” of recent history are around 0.006 to 0.007. AllTyretests.com claims a Crr of 0.0096 for the PS4S tire, so we’re assuming 0.01. According to Continental via tirereview.com, “there is no longer any difference between summer and winter tyres in terms of rolling resistance” hence I’ve used 0.01 for all Crr calculations.

The Koenigsegg Gemera Has The World's Most Powerful 3-Cylinder Engine How FreeValve Works - https://youtu.be/FJXgKY2O4po Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The Koenigsegg Gemera is an incredibly complex vehicle. At the rear wheels are two electric motors, each rated for 500 horsepower and 1000 newton meters of torque, and they each have a single-speed gearbox before sending power to the rear wheels independently. Sandwiched between the motors is the Tiny Friendly Giant or TFG, a 3-cylinder longitudinally placed engine. It's good for 600 horsepower and 600 newton meters of torque, and mounted to the end of its crankshaft is another electric motor, good for an additional 400 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Total system output is about 1700 horsepower, as the battery has limits to how much power it can supply, and motors and engines make peak power at different times. The engine and third motor actually send power to the front wheels exclusively, so this is Koenigsegg’s first AWD model. Power is sent through a carbon fiber torque tube, then passes through a torque converter, then through a simple ring and pinion to split power between the front wheels. On each side of the ring and pinion are wet multi-plate clutches, so either front axle can be completely locked up or detached, allowing for torque vectoring. With independent rear motors, the rear also has torque vectoring, and each motor also has a wet clutch to detach completely, meaning for highway cruising it can operate as FWD only for optimal efficiency. All wheel drive. All wheel steering. All wheel torque vectoring. Powering all of the electric motors is a 16.6 kWh, 800V battery pack. The pack is good for 50 kilometers or 31 miles of electric only range, and can be charged using the engine, or through regenerative braking. Total combined range is 1000 kilometers, or about 620 miles. Enjoy the video for the full details of this very cool engine!

How Fast Is the Jesko Absolut? The Fastest Car Koenigsegg Will Ever Make. The Fastest Shifting Transmission: LST - https://youtu.be/MSxQtHOfljE Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The Jesko Absolut is the fastest car Koenigsegg will ever make. The vehicle is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine which produces 1600 horsepower while running on E85 fuel at 2.2 bar boost pressure. But it's really clever trick is having an exceptionally low drag coefficient. Compared to the track-focused Jesko, the Absolut appears fairly similar, but there are quite a few aerodynamic changes in order to reduce the drag coefficient. This includes removing the rear wing, removing the hood ventilation, smoothed out the fender louvers, which actually still have holes in them, but with reduced drag. They’ve removed the front dive planes and winglets, altered the front splitter, and taken out the added downforce from the side vents by straightening the air’s flow. They’ve added dished wheels, which is a removable piece, for reducing the rear tires aerodynamic drag, and the rear of the body has been reshaped with a sharp cutoff, further reducing drag, as well as the overall body length being longer. The ride height has also been slightly lowered, and since it doesn’t have as much downforce, it also has a softer suspension. You may wonder why the fins remained on the car; Koenigsegg found they actually reduce drag, rather than increase it, by redirecting the vortex generated behind the car. The car still needs some downforce for stability, peaking at 150 kg, about a tenth of the Jesko’s maximum downforce at 1400 kilograms. Combined with the Jesko, there will only be 125 made.

Hyundai's brilliant engine technology continuously varies valve duration! Variable Valve Timing vs Lift (VVL vs VVT) - https://youtu.be/I5dy2Vnf95w Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The world’s first production CVVD engine! CVVD stands for continuously variable valve duration. This technology is currently used in the 1.6L turbo engine of the 2020 Hyundai Sonata. In order to understand it we need to understand how valves work on an engine. Of course, you have the four engine strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Intake you have the intake valve open, obviously, and your exhaust stroke has the exhaust valve open. On the most basic of engines, everything about how these valves operate is fixed, because those valves follow the cam profile of a fixed camshaft. On modern car engines, there are variables we can change; three of them, as it relates to valves. First, there’s variable valve lift. This means you can change how far down the valve travels allowing for more or less airflow into the engine. Second, you have variable valve timing, this means you can change when you actually open this valve, you can open it sooner, or open it later, relative to its standard timing. And third, and this is what Hyundai is adding into the mix, is variable valve duration. This is controlling how long you actually leave the valve open. You could have it open and close very quickly, you could have it remain open for a longer duration, or anything between. Up until this point, no mass produced engines have actually been able to vary how long a valve remains open, relative to the engine speed. If you’re wondering about Koenigsegg’s freevalve, and we’ll discuss that in the video as well. So, how does Hyundai do it? Check it out!

Studded vs Studless Snow Tires - Do You Really Need Studs For Grip? Why You Should Never Buy Cheap Tires - https://youtu.be/uZltSorr9W0 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How Much Better Are Studded Winter Tires? Comparing studded vs studless winter tires on a Subaru WRX STI. Two completely stock STIs, with the exception of wheels and tires, will be put head to head to see the differences between studded and studless winter tires in braking, acceleration, and handling on a frozen lake. Our studded tire is a Lappi Winter Tire, 225 millimeters wide, a 40% aspect ratio sidewall, and mounted on 18” method race wheels. This tire has 414 studs per tire, the studs have a full length of 12.5 millimeters, but the effective length is 4 millimeters, the distance that sticks out past the rubber of the tire. These are extremely aggressive studded tires, on a road car, the studs could protrude from the rubber less than half as much, and road tires might have between 130 to 250 studs per tire, rather than over 400. Having more, longer studs, means even better traction on ice. Our studless tire is a Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 tires, in the exact same size 225/40R18 as the studded tire. I specifically chose these as they are one of today’s best performing studless tires. The WS90 is the successor to the WS80 tire, one of Tire Rack’s highest rated winter tires, so it should be able to perform even better. I’ve personally ran WS80 tires through many winters, and in my experience it has provided excellent traction, much like Continental’s Viking Contact 7, Michelin’s Ice-X, or Nokian options. Ultimately, we’ve got a very good studded tire, versus a very good studless tire. The studless tire gets its grip from a clever compound that remains flexible in very cold conditions, has deep tread depth for capturing snow - you might be surprised to learn that snow on snow traction is actually pretty decent, so these treads hold snow to improve traction, and also through the use of sipes, the small slotted zig-zags in the tread block, which create an additional biting edge to help the tire find grip on slippery surfaces. The studded tire will use many similar principles, but add on top of it metal studs to punch into the ice and ideally, provide additional traction.

What Makes An Engine Better? Big Bore vs Long Stroke Bore and stroke cause differences in both power and efficiency. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 All piston-cylinder internal combustion engines have a choice to make with regards to bore and stroke. Should an engine have a large bore (the width of the cylinder)? Or would it be beneficial to instead have a small bore and a long stroke? Or should the bore and stroke dimensions of the engine be identical? We'll discuss how bore & stroke affect engine RPM, engine airflow, heat losses with regards to surface area, and flame duration. What makes the most power may not always be the most efficient. With regards to bore and stroke, an engine is called "oversquare" if the bore is longer than the stroke, "square" if the bore and stroke are identical, and "undersquare" if the stroke is longer than the bore.

The Taycan has two gears for the rear axle, and a single gear for the front axle. The rear gear ratios are 15.563 for first, and 8.05 for second. The front axle also has a gear ratio of 8.05:1. To see which vehicle is faster, we'll need to see which can put down the greatest wheel torque, as well as which has the most grip.

For gasoline supercars, efficiency doesn't really matter, and fuel economy is often pitiful. However, with today's current battery technology, electric car efficiency is extremely important regardless if it's an economy car or a supercar. Porsche enthusiasts may not be worried about the energy bills or even the 201 mile range of their brand new electric car, but there are metrics about inefficiency that are hard to ignore for any enthusiast. This video will also compare the Porsche Taycan's battery strategy to the Tesla Model S. Differences in battery strategy also lead to differences in brake pedal, accelerator pedal, and regenerative braking strategies between the two cars, which will be discussed in the video.

Why Do Two Engines With Equal Turbo Boost Make Different Power? How does elevation affect a car's performance? NA vs Turbo Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 If two engines have the same boost, and the same displacement, why does one make more power than the other? The answer is complex, but ultimately it comes down to how much air (specifically oxygen) can you get inside an engine's cylinders. The more air you have, the more oxygen you have, thus you can inject more fuel and produce more power. But manifold pressure is only one measurement that will determine how much oxygen you'll have within your combustion chamber. Temperature and humidity also play a role on the engine's performance. You need to look at manifold density, instead of simply boost, to really know how much air the engine is getting. Not to mention ignition timing, air/fuel ratios, and the efficiencies of the turbos you are using. This video will break it all down from beginning to end! Humidity Effects On Performance: I spoke with a Ford engineer about how humidity affects horsepower. He stated that humidity acts like EGR. For example, combustion with 1% water by mass (not to be confused with relative humidity percentage) is nearly equivalent to using 1.7% EGR. As humidity increases, you increase your mass flow rate, which increases heat capacity, which causes cooler combustion and reduces combustion pressures.

Can Tesla's Cybertruck Actually Tow Long Distances? Physics can explain why today's electric cars are bad at towing. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Electric cars are great for many things. They're fast, they're insanely efficient, and they can start with a full charge every morning, eliminating your need for "fuel stops" depending on your daily commute. Unfortunately, electric cars do come with their problems. The two main issues holding back electric cars from a much larger market share, in my opinion, are price, and energy density. Battery packs are massive, heavy, and don't store all that much energy. As a result electric cars are very heavy, and don't have much energy on board. Thankfully, electric cars make up for their lack of energy by being insanely efficient, so electric cars can still travel very far distances before needing to recharge. But what if we add a trailer into the mix, and tow with our electric vehicle? In this video, we'll work on the math on whether or not towing with today's electric cars is feasible.

Can Towing A Tesla Model 3 With A Ford Raptor Recharge It? The Straight Pipes high mileage Ford Raptor is used to tow the Tesla Model 3 Performance while driving around Toronto Motorsports Park. Can you recharge a Tesla Model 3 by towing it? That's a great question, and we're going to to use a Ford Raptor to find out. We'll also need to determine how quickly a Tesla can be recharged by towing it, and how far you'd need to travel to fully recharge the battery. The Tesla Model 3 can charge its battery through regenerative braking, where the wheels of the car force the electric motor to spin, which forces a charge into the battery. This is used to slow the car down, and improve its efficiency. However, if you tow the car, you might be able to use that regenerative braking to charge the battery, that is what this video seeks to find out. On top of this, we'll determine what's more efficient - Option 1: traveling with a Ford Raptor from A to B, or Option 2: Using a Raptor to tow a Tesla, then driving the Tesla from A to B. To do this, we'll need to determine the Tesla's efficiency, the Ford's efficiency, and the Ford's efficiency while towing. Then, using the regen rate of the Tesla, we can find out what the Tesla's true fuel economy is while using a Ford Raptor to tow it. It's a super fun video with a fascinating conclusion; have a watch!

Why You Shouldn't Buy The Cheapest Brake Pads For Your Car 5 Different Brake Pads, ranging from $20 to OE, undergo four tests. Sponsored By NRS Brakes - http://www.nrsbrakes.com/ee What are the best brake pads? Are expensive brake pads better than cheaper brake pads? Are cheap brake pads dangerous? In this video, we'll compare brake pads ranging from $20 to $90, all for the front brake pads on the exact same vehicle. Performance testing will compare how the brake pads do when they experience high temperatures. Corrosion testing will determine how well the pads resist rust in harsh winter conditions. Shear testing will see how well the friction material is attached the the backing plate. Finally, noise testing will determine which brake pads are the quietest. When you walk into a parts store, you'll often see different tiers of brake pad prices. This video's goal is to determine if you get what you're paying for with those different brake pads. Five different pads will be tested. $20, $40, $60, NRS, and original equipment pads for the same car will all undergo the same tests described above, using industry standardized tests.

How Are Tow Ratings Determined? What Does A Tow Rating Mean? Watch TFLTruck Run Through Testing - https://youtu.be/BbiBXK5CLlw What is SAE J2807, and how do Ram/Ford/GMC create tow ratings? In this video we’re going to be demonstrating the testing involved that goes into declaring a vehicle’s tow rating. In other words, how are tow ratings determined? Well that question used to have a very subjective answer based on which truck company you were asking, but the major players in heavy duty trucking put together a standard, SAE J2807, which includes a series of tests that the trucks must pass at their rated load. This demonstration is taking place at FCA’s Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, and our demo vehicle is a RAM 3500 4x4 with the optional 6.7L Inline-Six Cummins Turbo diesel. 400 Horsepower and 1000 lb-ft of torque. It will be towing a trailer with ballast added, weighing 30,645 lbs, for a gross combined weight of the truck and trailer just under 40,000 lbs, targeting to max out the combined weight rating for the truck. Was the the vehicle in this video at capacity? Yes, but it’s rather confusing how we get there. The combined truck + trailer weight in this video is 39,840 lbs (with no people). The combined weight rating is 43,000 lbs - which you’d reasonably assume we’re down 3,000 lbs. However, the vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (just the weight of/on the truck) is 14,000 lbs, and we’re at 13,700 pounds (without driver, but with the tongue weight of the trailer) in this vehicle, so we’re hitting max GVW before hitting max GCW. Why? Because this is a Limited truck, not the base truck, which will have a lower curb weight with few features, smaller cab, 2WD, etc. So while the base truck would have a GCWR of 43,000 lbs, you would never achieve that with the Limited version due to the base weight of the vehicle. Meaning? Your truck has a maximum amount it can weigh, your trailer has a maximum amount it can weigh, and your truck + trailer has a maximum amount it can weigh. In this video, the limiting factor was the truck’s 14,000 lb GVW, which allowed for a trailer weight of 30,645.

In this video we'll look at how much you can increase the tire sidewall by switching to 18" wheels from 20" wheels. We'll also discuss acceleration, braking, gearing, sizing, fitment, clearance, wheel curbing, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, ride comfort, wheel construction, rotational inertia, unsprung mass, and aesthetics, as they all apply to changing wheels.

The 2020 NISMO GT-R is faster and more expensive than ever before. How did Nissan make the 600 HP GT-R even faster around a track? Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2020 NISMO GT-R is 2.5 seconds faster around Nissan's development track than the 2019 NISMO GT-R. How does it do it? Changes have been made to the engine, with new, more responsive turbos, the body, with extensive carbon fiber used, the aerodynamics, the wheels, tires, brakes, and suspension. In fact, it may seem like this is just another variant of the car released in 2008, but quite a few of the systems have been reworked for even better results. Less turbo lag, more grip, and less weight all results in the fastest production GT-R Nissan has ever made. The question still remains, is the car too old to keep up with the competition at this point? And at over $200,000, is the new GT-R priced to high to remain competitive? Check out the video for a break down of all the details.

Performance Exhausts Patented By Koenigsegg Make Big Power Check out SimpliSafe here: http://simplisafe.com/explained Easy, reliable, no contract home security - Sponsored by SimpliSafe Do straight pipe exhausts actually make more power? Are straight pipes actually beneficial? Koenigsegg makes crazy horsepower engines and vehicles, and they happen to be emissions compliant. So does your neighbor's Honda Civic really need a straight pipe to put down 150 horsepower at the wheels, and how how does Koenigsegg make 1000+ horsepower engines that also don't create terrible emissions? Koenigsegg has a couple exhaust patents up their sleeve. Koenigsegg's brilliance comes down to how they employ the use of pre-cats within their exhausts. Pre-cats are used to help reduce harmful emissions while a car is still warming up, and the main catalytic converter is still cold. In this video, we'll break down Koenigsegg's first patent ever, the 'Rocket Cat,' as well as the patented exhaust used on the Koenigsegg Agera RS. Check out the video for a full explanation!

Can Mercedes New 2019 G-Wagon Climb Up A Crazy Steep Hill? Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Mercedes has improved upon a legendary icon, the G-Class. The 2019 Mercedes G550 is an extraordinary machine, capable of incredible off-road feats, including climbing a 100% grade, which this video will discuss in detail. In order to climb a 100% grade, the right elements have to come together: the engine, the transmission, the 4WD system, the tires, and of course the overall package and weight distribution. What is so special about climbing a 100% slope? What about the G-Class allows it to be capable of ascending such an incline? Can the G-Class actually do it? This video brakes it all down, from road testing to measure the vehicle's tires grip, to an analysis of the center of gravity. And to sum it all up, I provide 4 reasons why the G-Wagon is one my all time favorite vehicles. Mercedes Press kit summarizes the off-roading prowess: "The primary goal of development was to redefine the quality of the handling both on and off the road. This goal has been achieved: the new G-Class performs even better off-road, while on the road it is significantly more agile, dynamic and comfortable than its predecessor. The G thus remains a true G – thanks to its standard ladder-type frame, the three 100-percent differential locks and LOW RANGE off-road gear reduction. The new suspension is a result of cooperation between Mercedes-Benz G GmbH and Mercedes-AMG GmbH. The result is an independent suspension with double-wishbone front axle in combination with a rigid rear axle. As part of their work, the engineers had the task of fighting for every millimetre, because off-road capability not least also means maximum ground clearance. The raising of the axles makes a decisive contribution in this respect, while requiring a strut tower brace in the engine compartment to achieve the ruggedness objectives. The components of the double-wishbone front suspension are directly mounted to the ladder-type frame without a subframe. The lower wishbone's attachment points on the frame in Z-direction are positioned as high up as possible. This arrangement ensures good driveability beyond the asphalt. Specifically for the G-Class, the new front axle is designed in such a robust way that the off-road performance and off-road capabilities of its predecessor are maintained and partly even surpassed. Equipped in this way and with a ground clearance of 270 mm to the front axle gear, the G-Class provides plenty of potential for maximum assertiveness and driving pleasure in off-road terrain. The figures speak for themselves: - Slope climbing ability of up to 100% on suitable surfaces - Ground clearance between axles, plus 6 mm, now 24.1 cm - Maximum fording depth now 70 cm when driving through water and mud, no less than an additional 10 cm - Stable at tilt angles of 35°, plus 7° - Angle of departure: 30°, angle of approach: 31°, plus 1° - Break-over angle: 26°, plus 1° Thanks to the independent suspension, it was possible to improve the rigidity of the body front end. A strut tower brace, known as a suspension bridge, now connects the front strut towers, which increases the torsional rigidity of the ladder-type frame. At the rear, in contrast to the predecessor, the new rigid axle is controlled by four trailing arms on each side and a Panhard rod. This makes normal driving on the road even more comfortable. In off-road terrain, the rear spring jounce of 82 mm and rebound of 142 mm plus the ground clearance of 241 mm to the rear axle gear help to ensure a safe ride even in extreme situations."

Ford's Electric F-150 pulled a 1 million pound train, but Ford's stunt was way easier than it looked. This isn't a competitive advantage, instead, it's a very clever, very cool, marketing exercise. Towing a million pounds sounds impossible. On an open road, it pretty much is. On a railroad, however, things are different. With a steel wheel riding on a steel track, the rolling resistance of the train is extremely low. The result? A relatively tiny force is required to move the train in comparison to the weight of the train. What makes it easy? Well it all comes down to the coefficient of rolling resistance. This is the ratio of force required to pull a certain rotational mass. For example, a coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.1 means you only need a 1 pound-force to move a 10 pound ball. With steel wheels on a steel track, that ratio is far, far lower. Plenty of trucks out there could have done the same thing Ford's electric F-150 did, if not family crossovers and SUVs. Check out the video for a full breakdown of how it all works. Important Note: This video was filmed prior to my article being published in Road & Track (link below). Upon release of the article, Ford reached out with clarification. Here is additional information with regards to the power required for accelerating the 1.25 million pound train: 1. We want to know how much power it takes to move 1.25 million pounds at a speed of 4.5 mph in just 1,000 ft. 2. We’re going to assume the truck is accelerating for those entire 1,000 ft, and reaches 4.5 mph right when it crosses the 1,000 ft. line. 3. Power = Work / Time. If we calculate work & time, we determine power. 4. Time can be calculated based on average speed over 1,000 ft. Top speed 4.5 mph, starting at 0 mph. Average 2.25 mph. 2.25 mph = 3.3 ft/s. 1000 ft / 3.3 ft/s = 303 seconds (5 minutes, 3 seconds, to go from 0 to 4.5 mph). T = 303 sec. 5. Work = change in kinetic energy. We start at 0, so kinetic energy is zero. All we need to know is final kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is equal to one-half mass times velocity squared (k=0.5mv^2). 12.5M lb = 566,990 kg. 4.5 mph = 2.01 m/s. KE = (0.5)*(566,990 kg)*(2.01168 m/s)^2 = 1,147,263.561 N-m. 6. Plug in variables to Power equation. Power = Work/Time. P = (1,147,263.561 N-m)/(303 seconds) = 3.786 kW or ~ 5 Horsepower. 7. It’s important to note that 5 HP is the power required to to accelerate this mass assuming zero losses. Heat, friction, aerodynamics, etc. There are also smaller assumptions like not accelerating any rotational masses (the train has wheels, etc). A sanity check using the same math shows a 3,300 lb car requires 240 HP to go 0-60 in 3.0 seconds. We know it’s generally double that in the real world. Even giving the truck a factor of 10 advantage, 50 HP is nothing crazy. 8. The train is very heavy, this is the impressive part. Unfortunately, the duration is very long (5 minutes), and the speed is very low (5 mph). Both time and speed variables work heavily against the power required. If the train were to accelerate to 60 mph in the same 1,000 ft distance, it would take 12,000 HP without losses. Quite a difference, just from changing speed!

How A Mid-Engine Corvette Became So Much Quicker To 60 MPH How To Get The Best RWD Launch - https://youtu.be/TjQIH_M5R3w Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is a monumental shift in the car's design. For the first time ever, a production Corvette will be mid-engine, with the engine placed behind the driver, and be equipped with an 8-speed dual clutch transmission. The C8 Corvette features a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 producing 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque with the optional performance exhaust. With the engine's torque, the transmissions speed, and the Michelin PS4S tire's grip, a quick 0-60 time was inevitable. But power and grippy tires can only do so much for acceleration when your design is limited by weight transfer. And the previous ZR1 Corvette, with it's insanely fast sub-3 second 60 mph speed, was limited by simple physics. If you can't get enough of the weight of a car onto the driven wheels, acceleration will suffer. By moving the engine back on the new Corvette, the acceleration potential is greatly improved. Check out the video for 0-60 predictions, braking distance predictions, and a fascinating overview of the 2020 Corvette Stingray.

Why Do Diesel Engines Lose Power And Efficiency Over Time? Sponsored by ExxonMobil Synergy Diesel Efficient Fuel Learn more here: http://bit.ly/2xQpDuE Modern diesel engine development has increased engine efficiency and decreased NOx and particulate matter emissions. This video will focus on several questions: What is diesel fuel? How do diesel engines work, and how are diesels different from gasoline engines? Why are diesel engines typically more efficient than gasoline engines? Why do diesel engines continue to move towards higher fuel pressures and finer injector holes? How do fuel injector properties affect efficiency and emissions? Why are diesel engines susceptible to injector deposits? How do injector deposits affect engine performance characteristics? With regards to deposits, ExxonMobil has developed Synergy Diesel Efficient fuel, which has a proprietary additive package designed and proven to reduce deposits on injectors. By removing injector deposits, the goal is to restore the original spray pattern. I was able to visit one of the research facilities where this new fuel was tested, and results proved a 2% improvement in average fuel economy, a 2% reduction in CO2 emissions, and an 11% reduction in NOx emissions.

I took my Model 3 for a 2,000 mile road trip, and on that journey, all was going well. That is, until we hit a pothole. If you can believe it, a single pothole cost over $2,600 to fix, and required 7 hours of time from start to finish, leaving the Tesla service center. While Tesla isn't to blame here, low profile tires are becoming the new trend, and they're not any good in my book. They're expensive, heavy, and cause ride quality to suffer, all for what some feel is improved aesthetics, and perhaps some slightly more responsive steering. But the Model 3 Performance only offers one wheel size, so tires with less than 2 inches between the wheel and the road are the only option. Do any of you have low profile tires?

How The Koenigsegg Jesko's Light Speed Transmission Works Find Your Next Car Here: https://bit.ly/2REDOiu How Koenigsegg's 7-Clutch LST Work - Sponsored By AutoTempest The Koenigsegg Jesko is a marvel of modern engineering. With a 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, it produces 1600 horsepower on E85 fuel. That's just the start. Power is sent through a 9-speed, 7 clutch transmission. Why on earth would a transmission need 7 clutches? For insanely fast shifts, from any gear to any other gear, that is. According to Koenigsegg, the clutches can open and close in as little as just 2 milliseconds! The setup uses three shafts and compound gearing to make it all work, resulting in less gear pairs overall. With a clutch for each gear pair, shifts are not only insanely fast, but there's never a loss of torque during upshifts either, as the clutches overlap while closing and opening, meaning you'll retain positive torque during the shift.

How engine downsizing saved the inline six-cylinder, and why companies like Mercedes are switching from V6 to Inline 6 cylinder engines. Inline six cylinders have many advantages over a V6 engine. The Mercedes M256 engine is the result of a feel-good engine-downsizing story. You read that correctly, engine downsizing has in fact brought back a very popular engine style to the Mercedes line-up. Since inline four-cylinders are becoming more and more popular, creating an engine variant with two additional cylinders lopped on is a great idea from a production standpoint. But not only does it save on cost, inline-six cylinders have many advantages versus V6 engines. Check out the video for a full breakdown of the differences.

2020 Toyota Supra vs Toyota 86 TRD - Which Is More Fun To Drive? After driving the new Supra back to back with the 86 TRD, I found myself smiling more while driving the wonderfully handling 86. The 2020 Toyota Supra and 2019 Toyota 86 offer new car buyers an interesting choice: excellent torque and road presence, or lightweight and nimble. Dimensionally, they're both quite similar, though the Supra weighs about 600 lbs more. Surprisingly, the Supra actually has a lower center of gravity than the 86, even though the 86 has a boxer engine rather than a tall inline six-cylinder like the Supra. Part of this is thanks to the Supra's lower ground clearance, at 4.5 inches rather than 4.9. Driving the two vehicles back to back at Summit Point Motorsports Park, I found myself enjoying the 86 more than the Supra, much to my own surprise.

How The Best Automatic Transmission Works. ZF's 8-Speed Auto can give modern dual clutch transmissions a run for their money. It's light, compact, quick-shifting, and shifts are incredibly smooth. The automatic transmission was a game changer. No longer were three pedals required, drivers could relax as they had one less thing to worry about on the road. But the automatic transmission had many flaws. It was inefficient, shifts were slow and often rough, and automatics were big and heavy. ZF introduced the world's first production 6-speed auto in the 2002 BMW 7-series, but just a year later VW introduced the first production DCT in the European market Golf R32. The dual clutch was faster to shift, efficient, and gave drivers a direct feel. Was this the end for modern automatics? Not quite. ZF introduced their 8HP, an 8 speed automatic that swept the industry as a result of it's shift quality, shift speed, efficiency, size, and cost. We'll learn all about it in the video.

GM’s Patented Variable Compression Engine - How It Works Sponsored by Skillshare - https://skl.sh/engineeringexplained2 The First 500 To Sign Up Using The Link Get 2 Months Free! Internal combustion engines have a flaw. When the piston reaches the bottom of the power stroke in a traditional four-stroke engine, there is still a high pressure contained within the cylinder. This pressure is released when the exhaust valve opens, ultimately wasting energy. One potential solution is an Atkinson cycle engine, which increases the expansion ratio, relative to the compression ratio, resulting in greater efficiency. The problem with the Atkinson cycle is that because it reduces the intake stroke length, less air and fuel are drawn into the cylinder, and overall less power is created. In this video, we’ll explore GM’s solution to this problem, which is to create a variable compression ratio Atkinson cycle engine. Check out the video to learn all about GM’s patent!

Do oil catch cans actually work? What do oil catch cans do? Can oil catch cans prevent carbon deposit from building up on intake valves? This video dives deep into the world of catch cans, demonstrating how they work, what science says about PCV systems and valve deposits, a real world example thanks to Humble Mechanic, and finally the difference between cheap and expensive catch cans. We’ll look at the difference in features between a $25 catch can versus a $230 catch can, and whether or not the price difference is justified. Oil catch cans are placed between the PCV valve and the port on the intake manifold, allowing for the can to remove any oil that would otherwise end up back into your intake manifold, which can cause deposits to form on the intake valves. This video will examine their effectiveness, and if they’re a logical solution. Big Thanks To Humble Mechanic For His Help!

How Ceramic Coatings Work - What Is The Best Ceramic Coating? Find An XPEL Dealer - https://bit.ly/2P30gO2 Sponsored By XPEL! Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! We are learning all about the world of ceramic coatings! We'll learn: What is a 9H ceramic coating? How much do ceramic coatings cost? How to apply a ceramic coating? What is a nano coating? This is all thanks to XPEL who I’ve partnered with on the video to learn about the ever popular world of coatings. They’ve recently launched their new product Fusion Plus, and what I appreciate about XPEL is that they’re very realistic about what ceramic coatings can and can’t do. If you’ve followed the ceramic coating craze lately, you may hear claims like these coatings completely preventing scratches and rock chips, or that you’ll never need to wash your car again. Not exactly accurate, but that’s not to take away from the very real benefits that these coatings provide, like the ease of maintaining your paint’s cleanliness, protection from things like tree sap, bug guts, and bird dropping, the deep, glossy appearance, and of course the very popular hydrophobic, or water-repelling, qualities. So let’s start with how it works, why it’s useful, and then get into some of the more common misconceptions. XPEL’s ceramic coating, fusion plus, is a silicon based product. So you have a carrier fluid containing nano-particles, and these tiny particles create an inseparable bond with your paintwork that can’t easily be washed off like a wax or sealant. Really, one of the easiest ways to think about a ceramic coating is like a semi-permanent wax or sealant. Regarding pricing for XPEL Fusion Plus, if a car is fully wrapped in paint protective film, it will be about $800 to $1,000 depending on the size of the vehicle and local labor rates. If paint correction is required, the cost will range from about $1,200 to $2,000, depending on the level of correction required and local labor rates.

What Is Super Knock And How Can LSPI Destroy Turbo Engines? Sponsored by Skillshare - https://skl.sh/engineeringexplained The First 500 To Sign Up Using The Link Get 2 Months Free! New cars are trending towards downsized turbocharged engines using direct injection. While these engines offer better efficiency and fuel economy, this trend has increased the likelihood of engines experiencing destructive super knock, which results from LSPI. Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) isn’t fully understood, but it can result in knock occurring, potentially destroying pistons, connecting rods, and spark plugs. Light knock and super knock are different in how they occur in respect to spark plug timing, as super knock can occur without the spark plug ever firing. This video will describe the differences between light knock and super knock, how cylinder pressure is affected by each, how tuning can be used to avoid LSPI, and how motor oil can also be used as a resource to reduce the likelihood of LSPI and subsequent knock occurrences.

McLaren calls it Proactive Chassis Control II, and it's a system of interconnected hydraulic links that allow for McLaren to eliminate roll bars, and have a suspension that's better suited for adjustment between road driving and track driving. Not only are the dampers linked side to side, but they're also linked from to back, leading to a unique approach to suspension damping for all scenarios (roll, pitch, warp, etc). Flow restrictors change the damping characteristics for normal, sport, and track modes, allowing the vehicle to better respond to the conditions the driver is experiencing.

Is it okay to jump the car and drive off, or is it better to use a battery charger, rather than relying on your alternator to charge the battery? This video will test various parameters of a car’s electric system to determine what effects will result from running with a dead battery, versus running with a charged battery. We’ll examine battery voltage (engine on and off), alternator voltage, alternator amps, and alternator temperature. Does a dead battery cause your alternator to overheat? We’ll find out in the video! Note: If you’re stranded because of a dead battery, you should get your car jumped so you can get where you need to be. Obviously in emergency situations, do what’s safest for you, rather than what’s ideal for your car.

You may be surprised to learn that electric cars are very cheap to drive, and this is a result of how efficient they are. Regardless of the fuel source, electric cars, like my Tesla Model 3, require far less energy to move from one location to another. Did you know that a Tesla Model 3 Performance's battery has the equivalent amount of energy as a 2.2 gallon tank of gasoline? It's practically on empty at a full charge, and yet thanks to the efficiency of electric motors, it can travel an EPA rated 310 miles on a full charge. So how has my electric bill changed now that I'm driving an electric car? We'll break it all down in the video! Common Questions About Electric Car Costs: 1) What about car insurance? Not apples to oranges, but the Tesla Model 3 Mid-Range was about $30/month more to insure versus my Crosstrek. Keep in mind this is comparing a $50K car (Tesla) to a $25k car (Crosstrek). The Model 3 Performance is about $30/month more than the mid-range (significantly more expensive and more powerful vehicle). Buying performance cars is obviously not financially wise, as they tend to have great fuel/energy/maintenance/insurance/depreciation costs. 2) What about maintenance? Overall, it's less required touch points. The two big ones are changing brake fluid every two years (similar to ICE vehicles) and changing battery fluid every four years (unlike ICE vehicles, which of course have oil changes). Here's a full breakdown of the maintenance schedule: https://www.tesla.com/support/car-maintenance 3) The main point here being: the biggest cost associated with electric vehicles is the car itself. Insurance may or may not be higher depending on what vehicle you're comparing to. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

The McLaren 600LT Spider Has A Brilliant Top Mount Exhaust Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The McLaren 600LT features a top mount exhaust, but it's not just for looks, or to sound good, it's quite a functional change to the design of the 570S in upgrading to the long tail. This video will focus on five main questions, clarifying the advantages of a top mount exhaust: 1. How does a top mount exhaust affect weight? 2. How does a top mount exhaust affect powertrain cooling? 3. How does a top mount exhaust affect aerodynamics? 4. Will the exhaust interfere with the rear wing’s ability to provide downforce? 5. Will your exhaust fill up with water if it sits outside in the rain? Weight is actually a real advantage of a top mount exhaust. In the 570S, the exhaust comes out each of the sides of the V8 engine, travels back, up and over the transmission housing, and then back down, where it’s split between the two sides before exiting the rear of the vehicle. On the 600LT, this path is significantly shorter, and cuts off when the exhaust routes over the transmission, straight out the top. Not only does this reduce back pressure within the exhaust, helping the 600LT’s additional 30 horsepower over the 570S flow more freely, but in exhaust piping alone it saves 8 kg. A further 4.6 kg is saved as a result of better cooling characteristics. In total, 12.6 or about 28 pounds are saved through a revised exhaust. How was McLaren able to pull weight and improve powertrain cooling? Well in the 570S the bumper has fans at each corner to help blow out the hot air generated by the exhaust. This hot air pools within the bumper and soaks the area in heat. The electric fans, weighing 4.6 kg, are no longer needed with the top mount exhaust, and rear of the car remains cooler. Looking at the overall airflow path, fresh air enters the sides of the vehicle, where it then filters through an airbox, is passed through the compressor side of the turbocharger, is routed up through an air-to-water intercooler, then routed down through the intake manifold where it splits between the cylinders, eventually flowing out the exhaust through the turbine, then routed towards the back of the car where it passes through a catalytic converter before finally exiting the top mounted pipes.

Why Removing Charcoal Air Filters Is Generally A Bad Idea Visit http://bit.ly/2GsierL to download the free RetailMeNot Genie browser extension (this video’s sponsor) today and start saving the easy way. Will removing a charcoal air filter increase horsepower? Charcoal filters are designed to capture hydrocarbons that may escape out your intake when your car is shut off. They’re located after the air filter in your intake duct, and can restrict airflow. But how much effect do they really have on performance? I took two air filters, an OE filter and a performance filter, to the test, with and without the charcoal air filter. To measure the differences in horsepower and torque, each of the four filter options was put on a Mustang dynamometer, with multiple runs.

We've moved on to electronic fuel injection long ago. But of the two main varieties of fuel injection, port and direct, there hasn't been a clear winner as of late. Both direct and port fuel injection have distinct advantages, and hence, combining the two was the next logical step in automotive engine evolution. What's the difference between direct injection and port injection? When is each injector used in engines that run both systems? How do dual fuel injection systems differ when aiming for maximum efficiency versus maximum power? And how does dual fuel injection affect carbon deposit and buildup on intake valves?

How A Water Injection System Can Use Exhaust To Never Run Dry How Water Injection Systems Work - https://youtu.be/PhShcJZ3JAk Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Water injection is a great method for increasing the horsepower an engine makes, with additional benefits such as efficiency gains and emissions reductions. Water injection makes this possible through evaporative cooling; when the water changes from liquid to vapor, it cools the intake charge, increasing density and reducing the likelihood of knock. As a result, you can advance timing, increase boost, and run engines with higher compression ratios, ultimately making more power. The problem with water injection, however, is that you need to constantly refill the water tank as it runs dry. Tenneco, however developed a test for a potential solution. What if you simply recovered water from your exhaust, and re-injected that water into your intake to make more power!? Will it work? Check out the video for all of the details.

The New Toyota Supra Will Use One Of The Best Engines BMW Makes How BMW's Valvetronic Works - https://youtu.be/DKfcV7hITYI Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The 2020 Toyota Supra will be powered by a BMW sourced turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine producing 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque known as the B58. The B58 is the successor to BMW's N55 engine, and it's now the successor to Toyota's 2JZ, as it's implemented in the new Supra. The engine features technology such as a closed deck design, electric arc wire spray, vanos & valvetronic, a twin-scroll turbocharger, and an air-to-water intercooler. This video will take an in depth look at the new Toyota Supra engine! Here's what Toyota Says About The New Supra Engine "The 2020 Supra will feature a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six that will produce 335 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque. The torque comes on strong from very low engine speeds, thanks to a combination of a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct fuel injection and continuously variable timing on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Engine response is further enhanced thanks to the inline six’s variable intake valve lift system that adjusts intake valve timing and duration. The 8-speed automatic transmission delivers quick up- and downshifts and features paddle shifters for manual control when desired. Short ratios for the lower gears and a Launch Control function enable powerful acceleration with maximum traction. Toyota estimates 0-60 mph acceleration in 4.1 seconds. Top track speed will be electronically limited to 155 mph. The 2020 Supra will offer two driving modes, Normal and Sport. Sport Mode provides track-driving capability by reducing intervention of the traction and stability control functions as well as sharpening throttle response, increasing steering weight, improving transmission shift crispness, more aggressive active differential tuning and amplifying exhaust sound. For performance driving enthusiasts, the Supra will have an active differential that uses an electric motor and multi-plate clutches to control lateral torque. The active differential precisely controls torque distribution between the rear wheels, with stepless variable locking from 0-100 percent. The differential can control torque distribution between the rear wheels when cornering under both acceleration and braking, enabling greater momentum through a corner. The active differential is also effective at ensuring neutral handling by reducing both understeer and oversteer."

I Sold My Tesla Model 3 Mid-Range & Bought A Model 3 Performance! Get 6 Months Free Supercharging - https://ts.la/jason66047 Find Your Next Car - https://www.AutoTempest.com Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm After driving the Tesla Model 3 mid-range, I regretted not opting to upgrade to the Performance AWD Model 3. The Model 3 mid-range features a unique permanent magnet rear motor, which gives it different driving characteristics versus many other electric cars, including the Model S and Model X, which both use induction motors. This video will cover what the differences in the motors are (front and rear), how this affects the driving characteristics of the car, the mechanical differences between the mid-range and Performance, as well as the overall condition that my Tesla Model 3 Performance arrived in. How Do I Know I Didn’t Get Special Treatment From Tesla With Paint Repair/Car Exchange? First off, this seems strange to me, but many have asked if I somehow received special treatment with regards to getting paint fixed, ordering the Tesla, delivery, etc. That’s not how Tesla works, nor myself, but here’s how I know that no special treatment was provided: 1. Both previous videos were filmed before either video was released. I took delivery of the Model 3 Performance BEFORE the video about paint scratches went live. Hence, Tesla had not seen that I had publicly posted paint issues until I already had my new vehicle. The paint video was filmed before I had decided I was going to trade-in the Mid-Range. 2. I specifically selected the vehicle which I bought. I called Tesla to find out what was in inventory, and I selected a red M3P from that inventory, with VIN. Tesla did not choose the new car for me. 3. When I received the Mid-Range with paint scratches, I called Tesla SLC for the fix. I had heard horror stories from friends about the process required to get the paint repaired (multiple body shop visits, coming back worse than before, loss in value from repaint, etc) so I decided against getting the repair and asked Tesla if they could compensate me at all for the damaged paint instead of dealing with the hassle of repair shops. I felt $2,500 was an unjustified payment for the red paint if it arrives defective/scratched. Tesla said they would get back to me about this. They never did before trading in the car. 4. I only put 49 miles on the car before calling Tesla to inform them I wanted to exchange it for the Performance. This was outside of the 3-day return window (we had a bunch of snow after I took delivery, so I waited until snow had melted before driving for the video review, thus no 3-day window). Tesla said they might be able to switch the car due to the special circumstances (71 miles on the odometer, typical 3-day window needs mileage under 500). Then, they told me they could not. How Much Did All Of This Cost? - I bought the Model 3 Mid-Range in November 2018. $46,000 base price. - $2,500 red paint option, $1,500 19” wheel option, and $1,200 delivery. Total: $51,200 - $7,500 tax credit. Actual Total: $43,700 - The trade-in value of the Mid-Range was $43,200. A $500 loss. The $7,500 tax credit can only be applied to the first buyer, so it instantly loses this much in value. Essentially, buying used means getting the tax credit up front. - I bought the Model 3 Performance in December 2018. $64,000 base price. - $2,500 red paint option, and $1,200 for delivery. Total: $67,700 - $7,500 tax credit. Actual Total: $60,200 - Total Cost To Upgrade To Model 3 Performance: $17,000 Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Subaru WRX STI S209 Uses A Water Sprayed Intercooler For Max HP STI S209 First Look At NAIAS 2019 - https://youtu.be/FYsSeKJRKDs Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The Subaru STI S209 is the first time America gets an exclusive S Line Subaru STI. With a bigger turbo, revised intake and exhaust, new tune, and water injection system, the car now puts down 341 horsepower from its 2.5L boxer EJ25 engine. Forged pistons and connecting rods ensure the engine is up to the added pressures, and wider 265 bespoke tires all around, combined with Subaru's DCCD AWD system ensure the power is put down without a fuss. Here's how Subaru made their most powerful engine ever. From Subaru's Press Kit: - Debuts at 2019 North American International Auto Show - First-ever STI-crafted S-line performance vehicle sold in the United States - Limited production run of around 200 units - Available exclusively in the U.S. - 341-horsepower (est.) 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine - Aggressive new look with wide fenders, front canards and rear wing - Performance-focused chassis with flexible strut tower bar and draw stiffeners - Exclusive 19 x 9-inch forged BBS® wheels with bespoke Dunlop® SP - Sport Maxx® GT600A tires - Brembo® brakes with new high-friction pads - Available in two exterior colors: World Rally Blue Pearl and Crystal White Pearl Subaru Tecnica International (STI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Subaru Corporation, today introduced the limited-edition STI S209, the first-ever S-line STI product produced exclusively for the U.S. market. As an S-line product, the STI S209 encompasses upgrades in power, handling, aerodynamics and driver engagement, and undergoes final assembly in Kiryu, Japan, where it receives engine modifications and bodywork alterations that in total require it to be homologated for the U.S. by STI; thus, the S209 is considered the first “STI-built” Subaru sold in the U.S. The S209 carries on a high-performance tradition that dates to STI-built models that were exclusive to the Japanese domestic market – the 2000 S201 through the 2018 S208. A thoroughly reworked version of the legendary EJ25 2.5-liter turbocharged BOXER engine propels the S209. Featuring an STI turbocharger manufactured by HKS®, the EJ25 serves up an estimated 341 horsepower, thanks in part to a larger turbine and compressor (up 6 and 8 percent, respectively, compared to WRX STI) as well as maximum boost pressure that has been increased to 18.0 psi (16.2 psi for WRX STI). Proudly displaying an S209 serial number plate, the enhanced BOXER engine utilizes forged pistons and connecting rods that are both lighter and stronger. Midrange torque, too, gets a notable bump, up 10 percent at 3,600 rpm, delivering higher corner exit speeds when driving on track. To feed more air to the EJ25, the S209 uses a high-flow intake system featuring a new intake duct, induction box with conical air filter, silicone turbo inlet duct and, a nod from the 2004-07 WRX STI, an intercooler water spray system that lowers intercooler temperature via manually operated steering-wheel paddles. More air demands more fuel, so the S209 receives a new high-flow fuel pump, larger fuel injectors and an STI-tuned engine control module. High-performance mufflers deliver 17-percent less airflow resistance while larger hand-polished stainless-steel exhaust tips – 101mm in diameter – deliver aggressive appearance and acoustics.

How Water Injections Systems Can Create More Horsepower A Detailed Explanation Of BMW's M4 GTS Water Injection Engine Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The BMW M4 GTS is one of very few production cars to ever be fitted with a water injection system, used to take the twin-turbo I6 engine from 444 Horsepower up to 493 horsepower, using the beauty of evaporating water to do so! From BMW, here's how it all works: "Water is injected as a fine spray into the intake manifold plenum chamber where it evaporates, significantly lowering the temperature of the intake air. This reduces the final compression temperature in the combustion chamber, which also reduces the risk of knock, allowing the turbocharged engine to operate with higher boost pressure and earlier spark timing. The result is increased power and torque, and a substantial improvement in efficiency. Despite the extra power output, thermal stress on all performance-related components is reduced. All of these features ultimately help to diminish wear and prolong engine life. The benefits of water injection can be utilised in various ways, depending on engine and vehicle type. In particular the engineers have considerable latitude when deciding how to balance their priorities between increased power and fuel efficiency. If water injection is taken into account in the design of a high-performance engine right from the start, it is possible to use turbochargers with a higher boost ratio and compression ratio. Water injection provides a particularly effective way of raising the knock threshold in this range, allowing the compression ratio to be increased. This makes it possible to optimise the power output of the turbocharged engine over a wide operating range. The lower the octane rating of the fuel, the greater the potential of this technology. In terms of practical implementation, the BMW M division’s engineers opted for an arrangement whereby three water injectors in the intake plenum chamber each supply water to two of the straight-six engine’s cylinders. This solution makes for uniform water distribution and a compact system design. On safety grounds, the BMW M water injection system is equipped with a sophisticated self-diagnosis system. If the water tank runs dry, or in the event of a system malfunction, appropriate measures are taken to protect the engine. Boost pressure is reduced and the spark timing is retarded, allowing the engine to continue to operate safely at reduced power. Even when things are working normally, a variety of precautions are taken to keep the system fully functional. Every time the engine is switched off, all the water in the hose system is drained into the tank to prevent system components from icing up in sub-zero temperatures. The water tank is likewise frost-proof."

Why Do Engines Running Lean Burn Hot? Well, actually, they don't. The Secret To Efficient Turbo Engines - https://youtu.be/nxVOyL4r7Qc Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Despite popular belief, an engine running lean does not actually run hotter. This video looks to answer many questions surrounding internal combustion engines and how they operate different with various air fuel ratios, ranging from lean to rich. A lean mixture means the engine does not have enough fuel to burn all of the air. A rich mixture means there is more fuel than needed in the combustion chamber, and not enough air to burn all of it. An ideal air fuel mixture is such that all the air and fuel is burned completely, with nothing left over. For a gasoline engine, this ratio is about 14.7:1. This video will answer the following questions: 1) At what air fuel ratio do engines burn the hottest? 2) Why do engines burn colder when rich? 3) Why do lean burning engines run colder? 4) Why do people believe that an engine running lean will actually burn hotter and cause problems?

How Hydrogen Piston Engines Work - https://youtu.be/l6ECwRnJ0Sg How Hydrogen Fuel Cells Work - https://youtu.be/0jnZFGx_4kY On the surface, hydrogen combustion engines seem like the ultimate solution for car guys. You still get a wonderful four-stroke piston-cylinder combustion engine, with the sound and feel you've come to love, but all without any carbon emissions. Since hydrogen fuel (H2) doesn't have carbon in it (like gasoline or diesel fuel), there's no carbon added to the byproducts of combustion in a hydrogen engine. It's just as good as it sounds, but unfortunately there's a much more logical alternative that makes hydrogen engines seem quite silly. Check out the video for all the details!

A detailed look at the build quality issues with my mid-range Tesla Model 3 including exterior scratches, paint quality issues, panel gaps, and panel placement. What quality issues did my Tesla Model 3 Mid-Range arrive with? It's been heavily reported that while Tesla has been ramping up the production quantity of Tesla Model 3's, the quality of the builds is not fully there. In this video we'll look at all of the various paint scratches on my Model 3, paint defects, and also the mismatching panel gaps on each side of the vehicle. As a control, we'll also look at the panel gaps on my Subaru Crosstrek (a vehicle that cost 1/2 the price), and see how the panel gaps compare to the Tesla at the exact same locations. All of the issues shown in this video are from how the car arrived at my house. I took delivery on November 29th, and the car went straight into my garage at 22 miles on the odometer for this video to be filmed. I had not yet driven the car before filming this video, except from taking it from the delivery truck and placing it into my garage, several hundred feet of travel.

How hydrogen combustion engines work, versus gasoline engines. Hydrogen combustion engines can be more efficient and with better emissions versus gas engines, due to the fuel differences of H2. This video will look at eight major differences between gasoline and hydrogen fuels used in internal combustion engines. This includes the combustion reaction and byproducts, air fuel ratio, ignition energy, flame velocity, auto-ignition temperature, diffusivity, quenching distance, and density. These properties result in drastic differences between using the two fuels, though both can easily be adopted and used in traditional otto-cycle piston cylinder engines, often with little modification to the existing engine hardware. Are hydrogen engines the future of internal combustion? Let's find out!

Learn How Rotary Engines Work Using A 3D Printed Mazda RX-7 13B Why The Rotary Engine Died - https://youtu.be/v3uGJGzUYCI Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The Wankel rotary engine was made popular by Mazda, who built rotary style engines from in production cars such as the RX-7, RX-8, and others from 1967 to 2012. The Wankel rotary engine is unique in that it has three main moving parts, in comparison to piston cylinder engines which have many more. There are two rotors, and a single eccentric shaft which all rotate, rather than reciprocating like four-stroke engines. This video looks at a 1/3rd scale 13B-REW engine which Mazda used from 1992-2002 in the RX-7, and it's power ranged from 255 to 280 horsepower. The two-rotor engine had a displacement of 1.3 liters, and sequential turbochargers. Link To 3D Printed Rotary Engine By Eric Harrell & His Description: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3006071 "The model is designed so that you can see the moving parts of the rotary. All three of them. The center iron plate and front rotor housing are on hinges so the block can be opened up like a book. You can see the back rotor spinning and the you can turn the front rotor by hand when open. The eccentric shaft is sectioned into three pieces and held together with magnets and index pins, so that you can open and close the model while its running. The rotors are held to the eccentric shaft with magnets so that they don't fall out while the block is open. And they can be removed easily to see the eccentric shaft and fixed gears. The back rotor contains an Arduino and color changing LEDs which simulate the combustion cycle in each chamber. The rotor is wirelessly powered by another Arduino circuit housed in the oil pan. The rotor syncs the LEDs by sensing a magnet in the housing so it speeds up/slows down the changing colors of the LEDs according."

How Toroidal CVT Works - The First Production High Torque CVT CVTs Are The Fastest Transmission - https://youtu.be/cb6rIZfCuHI Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo CVTs have long been plagued as only useful for low torque applications. But Nissan's Extroid CVT is different. It's used to send the power to the rear wheels from a 3.0L turbocharged V6. Lots of torque? No problem. This is a toroidal CVT, which uses discs and rollers to transmit torque and change gear ratios. The gear ratios are changed by moving a trunnion vertically, which causes power rollers to move up and down, altering the gear ratio, whether you want more torque a higher top speed. But it's no ordinary toroidal CVT, there's two pairs of discs, essentially doubling the transmission, meaning it can put out even more torque without durability concerns. Nissan also uses a highly specialized CVT traction oil, so that the discs can not only be lubricated and cooled, but transmit high torque forces without metal on metal contact. Check out the full details of this genius transmission! #YouTubeLearning Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

I have range anxiety. When you're driving a Nissan Leaf, it has the equivalent energy in the battery pack of less than two gallons of gasoline. That not only tells you how energy dense gasoline is, but also how wildly efficient electric cars are, as the Leaf gets 150 miles on the equivalent of 1.2 gallons of gas. And while the benefits of electric cars are clear, for example instant torque, quiet ride, low CG, and much more emissions friendly, they do come with lower range and longer recharging times versus filling a gasoline tank. So after living with a 151 mile range Nissan Leaf for 6 months, how do I now feel about EVs? Quite different, actually. Check out the video for full details!

How do manual transmissions work? We'll learn how clutches work, how gears work, and how shifting works with a detailed explanation using a 5-speed manual transmission as an example. Manual transmissions are without a doubt one of the greatest and most enjoyable automotive inventions. But how do stick shifts work? It all starts at the engine, where the flywheel transmits power to a clutch disc that's sandwiched between the pressure plate. The clutch disc is splined to the transmission input shaft, which rotates the gear assembly. A selector fork allows the driver to choose which gear to select, and power will then be routed to an output shaft and then a differential, ultimately reaching the driven wheels. Manual transmissions are super cool, check out the video for details as to how they work!

When Porsche designs an intake manifold, they do things differently. While most car companies try to increase pressure of air entering an engine, Porsche tries to expand that air. Here's how it works. Intake manifolds can be designed with certain length runners in order to be tuned to produce peak horsepower at a specific RPM. The idea is that when the intake valve closes, the air rushing into the engine is force to build in pressure in the intake port. This pressure wave wants to equalize, so it bounces back and forth in the intake manifold. If you time the valve openings correctly, you can have that high pressure air force its way into the engine, making more horsepower and more torque. But Porsche does something completely different, instead of increasing the pressure of the air going into the engine, they try to expand the air. The video explains why Porsche's method is so effective, and how it reduces brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC).

I took four air filters, included dirty & clean OE filters, a low cost aftermarket filter, and an expensive performance filter and put them to the test. To measure differences in horsepower and torque, each filter was put on a Mustang dynamometer, with multiple runs. A VBOX was used to measure real world acceleration differences. The idea behind performance air filters is that a less restrictive air filter means the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to bring in air. That means it’s more efficient, and makes more power. It could also mean the engine pulls in more air, and with more air, the engine can inject more fuel to make more power. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

The Italian Tune Up is often thought of as a solution for removing carbon from an engine, but does it really work? Looking into multiple research papers on the subject, I sought to answer three main questions: 1). What temperatures do carbon deposits form? 2). Can carbon deposits be removed from excessive heat? 3). Can engines get hot enough to remove carbon deposits? An engine's redline is the highest speed it can safely operate.

In order to make power efficiently, air temperatures need to be cool before entering the engine. Turbochargers compress air, and doing so increases the air's temperature, decreasing density. That's where intercoolers come in, which use ambient air to reduce the temperature of the air used for combustion. There are two main styles of intercoolers, air-to-air and air-to-water. Both are effective, but they each have their own distinct advantages with regards to packaging, efficiency, turbo lag, throttle response, and of course cost.

Can Synthetic Engine Oil Help Prevent Intake Carbon Deposits? Direct Injection Turbo Engine Carbon Issues - Sponsored By Valvoline Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 This video about car engine oil will be focusing on three questions: 1. Why do modern engines have carbon build up? 2. How can engine oil help prevent carbon deposits? 3. How do you know if the oil you’re buying helps prevent carbon build up? Unlike many older engines, modern engines are trending towards turbocharged, downsized, direct injection engines for efficiency benefits. But these changes now create unique challenges for newer engines, which have higher internal pressures and temperatures, and a lack of port injectors. Looking at the intake valve on a gasoline engine with direct injection, we need to think about all of the different ways that contaminants can contact these intake valves. 1. First off, blow-by from combustion can reach the intake valves through the positive crankcase ventilation system, which prevents the crankcase pressure from getting too high. 2. The PCV system also means that as the lighter part of the engine oil evaporates, it can pass by the intake valves. 3. You can also have exhaust gases routed back to the intake valves, through an exhaust gas recirculation system, typically used for emissions purposes, which carry combustion contaminants. Remaining exhaust gases can also contact the intake valve from inside the combustion chamber when the intake valve opens. 4. Finally, engine oil can leak down the valve guides and contact the intake valves, especially as oil viscosities continue to become thinner for efficiency purposes. In direct injection engines, the oil itself is really all you’ve got to actively protect your intake valves. The oil itself is composed of about 80% base oil, and 20% additives, both of which play a role in fighting carbon deposits. From a base oil standpoint, you don’t want molecules that break down or evaporate with heat, but at the same time they should have good flow characteristics at low temperatures. This means you don’t want overly large or overly small molecules, molecules that aren’t fully saturated with hydrogen or overly long straight chain molecules. The wrong molecular structure can break down with heat and form deposit precursors. These precursors will attach to intake valves, pistons, and cylinder walls, and form deposits. This is where the additives come in, particularly detergents and dispersants. Detergents have a hydrocarbon tale and a polar head, usually a metal.This means one end, the polar head, likes to bond to metallic surfaces, while the other end deflects deposits and prevents them from bonding to the metal surface. If precursors can’t contact the metal surfaces, they can’t form deposits. Now dispersants also have a hydrocarbon tale and a polar head, however the tale is a bit longer than detergents, and the polar head isn’t quite as strong. The hydrocarbon tale likes oil, while the polar head likes water, metals, and contaminants, basically the things you don’t want. So as a deposit precursor is floating around in the oil, the dispersants will attach to it, keeping the contaminant suspended so it doesn’t attach to metal surfaces. From there it can either be filtered out as it passes through the oil filter, or kept suspended until you change the oil.

When Should You Shift Gears? How To Get The Best Fuel Economy When To Shift For Acceleration - https://youtu.be/zZBqb0ZJSwU EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 When is the best time to shift gears for maximum fuel economy? In this video we look at how to drive efficient, how to drive with good fuel economy, and when to shift gears to maximize fuel efficiency. When you're accelerating and shifting through the gears, it's important to keep the engine in an optimal region where it operates most efficiently if you want to maximize fuel economy. This engine region is determined by an engine's brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). BSFC is a measurement of the amount of fuel required to produce a certain amount of power, for a given engine load and RPM. Generally speaking, BSFC is highest in high load, low RPM regions. This video will demonstrate this by conducting a test showing fuel consumption with the engine at four different operating regions, but with the same power requirement for each - to keep a car moving at 60 mph. Check out the video for full details, and to learn when the best time to shift is!

How Anti-Lag Works - Ignition Delay ALS Turbo Lag Hyundai Veloster N Review - https://youtu.be/6BVEhLBj7MQ Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2019 Hyundai Veloster N not only crackles, snaps, and pops as you shift through the gears, it's also doing something very useful: keeping the turbocharger spooled up. Yes, the Veloster N, when operating in "N" mode, does in fact have an anti-lag system. The ALS works through ignition delay to ensure the turbo maintains boost when you lift off the throttle. The ignition delay allows for combustion to occur partially within the exhaust manifold, which is why you hear pops from the exhaust. The hot hatch features a 2.0L turbo with up to 275 horsepower (base 250 HP) and 260 lb-ft of torque. The car features an electronically controlled suspension with various damping settings, and with the performance package you get an electronic limited slip differential, a variable induction system, performance summer tires developed specifically with Hyundai, and of course the anti-lag system!

The Honda S2000 on the other hand has decent power, 265 whp, but low torque at just 163 lb-ft. The engine is designed to make peak power and peak torque at very high RPM, above 8,000, versus zero RPM like the Leaf. The S2000 is much lighter, however. Which vehicle will accelerate faster? I've created a simple 0-80 mph test to show how the torque delivery of each vehicle differs. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How Mazda Makes Turbocharged Engines Efficient In The Real World Small Turbo Engines Aren't Efficient? - https://youtu.be/9aO2vC_iMTI Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Mazda's 2.5L turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine won a Ward's Auto 10 Best Engines award in 2017 for the CX-9. The engine is now also used in the 2018 Mazda 6. The engine produces 227 horsepower on regular gas, and 310 lb-ft of torque. It has a unique approach for downsized turbo engines, which generally result in good fuel economy at low loads, but fail to provide efficiency when the driver demands more power. Several of the clever technologies within this engine include a 4-3-1 exhaust that maximizes exhaust scavenging for turbocharged engines, while also providing two separate airflow paths to keep the turbo spooled at both low and high RPM. The engine also has cooled EGR to increase the load at which a stoichiometric air fuel ratio can be used. Check out the video for full details about how this engine provides loads of torque, but still offers good fuel economy. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

These small turbo engines tout the power of larger engines, but with much better fuel efficiency. You may notice however, your real world fuel economy may not always match up with the EPA numbers provided on the vehicle's monroney sticker. Why is this? Well while downsized turbos do have many advantages, such as less moving parts, less weight, better packaging, lower frictional losses, and lower pumping losses, once the vehicles start to get into boost, that efficiency can be significantly lower. This video will discuss fuel enrichment and why it's necessary for high boost engines in order for them to run reliably. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Two-Stroke Opposed-Piston Diesel Engine By Achates Power EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The Achates Power opposed-piston engine is packed full of unique technology. The supercharged, turbocharged, diesel 3 cylinder makes use of six pistons, two of which operate in each cylinder. It’s a two-stroke design, meaning every time the pistons come together a power stroke occurs, forcing both pistons away from one another and rotating their respective crankshafts. The two crankshafts are geared together to a common output shaft, which powers the vehicle. Research has shown two-stroke opposed piston engines to be wildly efficient. 3 cylinder designs are the most efficient, and it’s possible to achieve brake thermal efficiencies as high as 55%, a massive improvement for road car engines. The engine in this video is a 2.7L 3-cylinder producing 270 HP and 480 lb-ft of torque.

Why Do Exhaust Valves Use Sodium? Kia Stinger GT 3.3L V6 Review Kia Stinger GT Full Review - https://youtu.be/NkYyasbH_GA Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The 3.3L V6 twin-turbo in the 2018 Kia Stinger won a 2018 Ward’s Auto 10 Best Engines award. The aluminum engine produces 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. The engine has a wide range of useful torque, and is also capable of adjusting valve timing for better fuel economy, closing the intake valves late to improve efficiency. One of the interesting features of this engine are the sodium filled exhaust valves, and not just the stem, but the head of the valve is filled with sodium as well. Hyundai/Kia engineers state this can bring exhaust valve head temperatures down from about 800 deg C to 650 deg C. The sodium liquifies as it has a relatively low melting point, and as it splashes around within the valve it transfers heat from the head of the valve to the stem of the valve, which is cooled via the engine block cooling through the valve guides. This technology is certainly common in many other engines, but Kia claims this is the first use of sodium filled exhaust valve heads in a V6 engine.

How one pedal driving works. Driving with one pedal in electric cars. Are Electric Cars The Future? https://youtu.be/wLrvGtw8jAQ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The Nissan Leaf ePedal allows for single pedal driving. From the Nissan Leaf press kit: "Another innovation that enhances the Nissan LEAF's driving experience is the e-Pedal, which is offered as standard equipment on all grade levels. It allows the driver the simplicity of accelerating, decelerating and stopping the car by using the accelerator pedal alone — a revolutionary innovation that can change the way people drive. By simply releasing the accelerator, the car will come to a smooth and complete stop without the need to press the brake pedal. With a deceleration rate of up to 0.2g, the e-Pedal eliminates the need for drivers to constantly move their foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal to slow down or stop. This can help reduce stress and increase enjoyment. Studies by Nissan in Japan, Europe and the U.S. have shown that the Nissan LEAF's e-Pedal reduces the number of times the driver must apply the brakes while commuting in heavily congested traffic. While the conventional brake pedal must still be used in aggressive braking situations, the e-Pedal lets drivers use a single pedal for more than 90 percent of their driving needs."

Why Transmissions With Loads Of Gears Are A Good Idea When Should You Shift Gears? https://youtu.be/zZBqb0ZJSwU Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm There are very legitimate reasons why we're seeing 10-speed automatic transmissions implemented in new cars, such as the Lexus LC500. More gears means a broader range of gear ratios without massive steps between those gear ratios. It means you can keep your car's engine closer to peak horsepower in order to achieve maximum acceleration, and it means you can put your engine in the right load and RPM range in order to maximize efficiency. This video will dive into the details of why more gears can be a good thing, even with the negative consequences such as additional complexity, frequent gear shifts, and time lost in acceleration from more frequent shifts. The Lexus LC500 pairs a 5.0 naturally aspirated V8 to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and it sounds quick beautiful churning through the gears. That's not to say the transmission isn't without flaws. Check out the video for full thoughts on 10-speed transmissions and the implementation within the LC500.

My New Car Is Electric - https://youtu.be/FN0g4fDq8MQ Speaking with Lucas di Grassi, Formula E champion and CEO of Roborace, he brought up the point that the smaller the device, the more it makes sense (phones, laptops) to use battery power. The larger the device, the less it makes sense (cargo ships, planes). Cars rest in the middle, but there’s a very logical case for it as energy density improves. Speaking with Nicki Shields, she brought up that electric cars get "greener" with time. As electricity production becomes more efficient, the carbon footprint of an electric vehicle improves. ICE get worse with time. Modern internal combustion engines generally trend towards improving fuel economy, so older vehicles on a relative scale have an increasingly negative impact from an energy consumption standpoint. US Energy Consumption - Renewables Increasing: https://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/pdf/sec1_7.pdf Cleaner with time: https://blog.ucsusa.org/dave-reichmuth/new-data-show-electric-vehicles-continue-to-get-cleaner Speaking with Vinit Patel, chief engineering of Mahindra racing, he brought up that location matters, if hydrogen improves it could make sense. The practicality of electric cars is location dependent. For Urban areas with high congestion, and relatively shorter travel distances, EVs make sense. The infrastructure is somewhat already available, allowing for home charging, work charging, etc. As you get further away from cities, EVs make less practical sense, and hybrid solutions seem superior. The infrastructure already exists for hybrids today, and allows for limitless distances. Hydrogen currently is expensive to produce, and overall less energy efficient for the full cycle of production to consumption. However, it’s extremely abundant, so if there are cost effective ways to use it, it could make financial sense to use it (energy density advantages, range advantages).

To find out, I'm using a temperature datalogger to monitor four air temperature positions on the car. I'll record temperature at the very front of the car, the front of the air intake, the back of the air intake (near the exhaust), and the top of the engine. And while the effects of warm air going through the intake are mitigated with an intercooler, it's still beneficial to introduce air as cold as possible into the intake.

New study shows expensive tires aren't always worth it. Should you buy expensive tires? What all-season tires are the best? Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Do expensive tires perform better? Are expensive tires worth the additional cost? AAA recently performed a study with 12 different all-season tires, in two different price categories, for two different vehicles. A 2017 Ford F-150 and a 2017 Toyota Camry were selected for the test since they are the most popular passenger cars and light trucks, representative of what many people are driving. Each car had six different tires were tested, and each tires had two sets: one brand new, and one set worn down to 4/32nds. The results they found are fascinating, as price is not the leading factor in which determines whether or not a tire will perform well in the wet (new or worn), even among competing tires within the same category. There were large variations among the individual tires, and to make the best decision when purchasing tires, it's ideal to look up information on the individual tires you are considering. Some higher cost tires proved to be worth it, while others didn't perform as well as lower cost tires. Check out the video for full details! It should be noted that the tests in this video focus on wet performance: braking from 60 mph to 0 mph in 1mm of water, and skid past testing for lateral acceleration on 0.8mm of water. Both of these tests are performed with both new and worn tires. There is also NVH testing performed on new tires. The results do not show the differences in dry performance, or show how long a tire will last, or discuss warranty. There may be reasons to spend more on a tire that do not necessarily correlate with wet performance.

That is to say, the electric car revolution is coming, and I'll be experiencing life with an electric car before the majority of folks make the jump. While in today's world electric cars don't make perfect sense for every scenario, they do offer plenty of advantages over gasoline or diesel powered cars. They have instant acceleration when you put your foot down, peak torque from zero RPM, they're far more energy efficient - meaning you spend less on "refilling the tank," and they don't have any emissions.

It also allows for high boost levels like larger turbos, but doesn't sacrifice the bottom end torque as much. What's the secret to a two-shaft turbo? It uses two different styles of compressors. First, an axial compressor forces air into a radial compressor, which then increases boost further. Using variable vanes for both the intake and the exhaust turbines, the turbocharger can provide useful boost across a wide rev-range. It's like the combination of a jet turbine, an automotive style turbocharger, and a variable geometry turbocharger all in one. Sound complicated? Check out the video for full details!

Which leads to four questions: 1) How is it to drive? 2) How fast is it - real world, not dyno results? 3) Is it worth the cost to supercharge an S2000? 4. Why did I choose to supercharge my S2000 rather than other options? From a driving aspect, what I like about the modified S2000 is that it maintains a lot of the stock refinement; it doesn't feel significantly modified car from a drive-ability standpoint, it's just as street-able as it always has been (or hasn't been). It's just faster! To test how much faster, I used the same method I've been using since I bought the S2000. I use a VBOX sport and accelerate on the same road in the same direction, in the same gear from 10 mph to 60 mph, and measure the improvement in acceleration in increments of 5 mph.

The Truth About Worn Tires - What Happens As A Tire Wears? Tire Demonstration Videos - https://bit.ly/2LdI157 Big Thanks To Michelin For Partnering On The Video! Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Do tires get better or worse with wear? What's the difference between a new tire and a worn tire? As a tire wears, you may be surprised to learn that its dry performance actually improves. Braking distances tend to get shorter, and cornering grip tends to increase. The opposite, however, happens in the wet. As the tire nears the wear bars, braking distances increase and cornering grip decreases? Well, why is this? And what can you do to prevent wear from ruining a tire’s performance? First off, we need to break down how a tire gets its grip, which can be grouped into three categories: construction, compound, and tread pattern. A tire’s overall grip is a combination of all three. The construction of the tire provides the overall shape of the contact patch, and how it interacts over bumps and imperfections. The compound obviously plays the most critical role; how well the compound sticks to the road determines how well the tire performs. And what’s cool about compound is that it doesn’t change as the tire wears, so you want compound grip to be as high as possible for both wet and dry grip. And finally, we get to the tread. Tread patterns are great for wet grip, they improve traction in the wet by evacuating water away from the road contact to help prevent the tire from hydroplaning. So it’s logical then, that as the tread wears away, wet performance wears away with it. In the dry, however, that tread pattern reduces the amount of rubber contacting the road, and decreases the rigidity of the tire, allowing it to flex and squirm. As the tire starts to wear away, the tread pattern wears away with it, and the response and grip of the tire improve. This is why in racing, when it’s dry, you’ll see tires without any tread pattern at all, just a smooth, sticky, flat surface for the tire to clench the road.

How The Zenvo TSR-S Centripetal Wing Works - More Tire Grip Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo The Zenvo TSR-S has a trick not many other supercars can match. The new aero package as a whole results in three times the downforce as the Zenvo TS1 GT, partly from the massive rear wing. The so-called 'Centripetal Wing' can not only pivot to change the angle the wing faces the wing, but also the tilt from side to side of the car. As the car goes around a corner, the inside of the car sees the wing lift up, decreasing load transfer to the outside wheel. By keeping the loading on the inside wheel higher during cornering situations, the Centripetal Wing increases lateral grip, with little sacrifice in overall downforce. The benefits don't stop there. With a high pivot point, the wing acts like an aerodynamic anti-roll bar, preventing excessive body roll. And since it tilts front/back as well, it can act as an air brake, increase downforce, or minimize drag. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

To do this, I headed to Throttle Works to put the S2000 on a dyno and measure air/fuel ratios, and to adjust as needed. Ideally, the supercharged engine will maintain an AFR in the range of 11.5:1 to 12:1 when on boost. The car ran 4 full throttle runs to verify the kit maps were working appropriately, and to accurately measure horsepower and torque. How much power did it make? Were any adjustments needed? What tweaks could allow for more horsepower? Is it safe to drive hard? All of these questions answered in the video!

Who Has The Best 4WD? What Is The Best 4WD Vehicle? What Is The Best AWD System? https://youtu.be/jm-_Ncjunuc Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Who makes the best 4WD system is certainly up for debate, but what is the best 4WD system? That question seems like it should have a realistic answer based on physics. The best 4WD system, in my opinion, is the system that gives you the least likelihood of getting stuck. In nerd-speak, it's able to put down the greatest percentage of available torque. So how do you put down the greatest amount of torque? Well that requires a clever 4WD system, that's able to change based on conditions. One such change vital for off-roading is the ability to lock up differentials. What's the difference between an open and a locked differential? An open differential allows for uneven wheel speeds, but always maintains equal torque. A locked differential does the opposite, locking wheel speed together, but allowing for unequal torque distribution. Torque is sent where grip allows for the torque to be sent. Check out the video for full details, as well as examples of vehicles which I would consider have the best 4WD systems.

That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement! This video captures the installation of a Science Of Speed Stage 1 Supercharger kit on a 2002 Honda S2000 F20C engine. The Stage 1 kit is good for about 100 HP at about 6 PSI of boost, and uses a simple FVM controller for fuel, VTEC, and MAP tuning. Charles aka Humble Mechanic joined me for the installation, which was a fairly lengthy process (Science Of Speed estimates this to be a 14 hour job). There are certainly scenarios which are helpful to have a friend working with you, like removing the bumper, torquing the crank bolt, and torquing the supercharger pulley. While the engine bay was fairly opened up, we went ahead and replaced spark plugs, fuel injectors, idler & tensioner pulleys, as well as the fuel filter.

Why Chevy And Dodge Are Still Making Pushrod V8 Engines. EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Pushrod engines typically use two valves per cylinder, and as a result this engine style is often mocked when used in modern vehicles. Fewer, larger valves results in more reciprocating mass which can lead to valve float, and less airflow at high RPM from the reduced area of the valve openings versus four valves. So why are companies like Dodge still making Hemi engines, and Chevy still making LS engines, both of which are two-valve pushrod setups? Well, simply put, pushrod (OHV) engines have quite a few advantages over their DOHC counterparts. Whether it's the size and compactness of the engine, the simplicity, or the cost, there are real performance benefits to using a two-valve, single cam V engine. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke...

And while turbo-lag is acceptable for many, Mazda was determined to minimize its effects. The SkyActiv engine uses a technology they’re calling “Dynamic Pressure Turbo” which uses a 4-3-1 exhaust and a set of valves that change exhaust airflow depending on the RPM. Along with a short exhaust manifold, valves to increase exhaust velocity, and a 4-3-1 exhaust, they aim to minimize turbo-lag while simultaneously maximizing performance and efficiency. The 4-3-1 exhaust is critical for exhaust scavenging, creating the “ejector effect” and helping pull out remaining exhaust gases from the previous firing cylinder.

How Ford's Flathead V8 Engine Works, And Why It Disappeared Why Can't Pushrod Engine Rev High? https://youtu.be/S9E2nCXNHU8 EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Ford Flathead V8 Engine Model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2537602 In 1932 Ford introduced the mass market to V8 engines, sticking a 3.6L flathead V8 producing a terrifying 65 horsepower in the Model 18. The engine lived on until 1953, until being finally replaced in 1954. What was so special about the flathead V8? Mostly the simplicity of the design. Instead of complicated cylinder heads, they were now simply a single piece of relatively flat metal (flat head). This drove the cost of the engine down, allowing it to be built and sold on a larger scale. The challenge, however, is that the engine suffered from poor airflow, especially at high RPM. In this video we'll discuss the valvetrain, and how the flathead design impedes airflow for high revving, high power engines. Not only was airflow a challenge, but the compression ratio was difficult to increase without further restrictions on airflow. Ultimately, improved technologies replaced the flathead in 1954.

What is cetane rating? When purchasing gasoline or diesel fuel you’ve likely noticed the selection of numbers available to purchase, whether it’s 87, 91, 98, etc. The numbers shown are the octane rating for gasoline, or the cetane rating for diesel fuel, and these numbers indicated properties about the fuel you’re buying. The octane rating tells you how resistant a fuel is to knock; another way of thinking about this is how much can you compress that fuel, mixed with air, before it ignites from the heat and pressure. A Cetane rating is the ignition delay of a diesel fuel. Both scales originally were designed from 0 to 100, though Octane ratings above 100 are certainly possible. The scales get their names from the hydrocarbons Octane and Cetane, both of which represent a rating of 100 on their respective scales. The video brakes down both of these concepts in detail, and how a low or high rating affects performance and efficiency characteristics of an engine.

And while it's not to say that the engines aren't performance bargains, one might be curious why the redline on these engines tends to be fairly lower than their European counterparts. Again, this isn't to say that one technology is superior in every way, there are pros and cons of most engine styles. But from a curiosity standpoint, it does make one wonder why pushrod V8 engines aren't hitting 9,000 RPM in production cars, like DOHC V8's and flat-sixes.

Thermal efficiencies as high as about 60% have been found in lab testing, which is remarkable for internal combustion engines. Combustion relies on a low reactivity fuel (in this case gasoline, though ethanal and natural gas can also be used) in combination with a high reactivity fuel (in this case diesel fuel). The engine benefits from the individual advantages of each fuel, resulting in exceptional efficiency and significantly less harmful emissions. Check out the video for details about how it works!

2018 Kia Stinger GT - RWD GT2 Car Review & Test Drive EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Car buying isn't often a logic driven decision. It's often an emotional choice, and even used as a status symbol for the owner. Sometimes the badge on the front of the car is more important than how well it actually drives, and if the Kia Stinger isn't a total success, that's exactly what's to blame. The Kia Stinger GT is powered by a 3.3L twin turbo V6 engine producing 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft, with the option of RWD or AWD. The base model offers a 2.0L twin-scroll turbo I4 engine producing 255 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. I was able to drive the GT2 in both AWD and RWD, and it's a spectacular GT car. Plenty of power, predictable handling, a clean interior, and surprising practicality. But will your ego hold you back from a Kia badge?

What Is A V8 Engine? Working 3D Printed Chevy LS V8 Engine EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 3D Printed LS3 Camaro V8 Engine Model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1911808 V8 engines operates under the same basic principles as any other gasoline four-stroke engine. First the piston pulls in air and fuel as it moves downward, then it compresses that air and fuel as the piston moves upward. A spark plug fires, igniting the air/fuel mixture and forcing the piston downward. Finally the piston pushes out the exhaust gases on its way back up, before for the cycle repeats itself. In a V8 engine, this cycle is happening in 8 different cylinders, at different times. Instead of multiple cylinders firing at the same time, you want them to be spread out so that power delivery is smooth. For this Chevy V8, the firing or is 1, 8, 7, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3. With 8 cylinders, there is a cylinder firing for every 90 degrees of the crankshaft rotating, which means at any point in time, there are two cylinders on the power stroke. With regards to the valvetrain, the intake air comes from the top of the engine, and into the sides of the cylinder head. The exhaust flows to the sides of the engine, exiting the exhaust valves from the cylinder head. In this LS3 model, there is a single intake valve and a single exhaust valve, though it’s also common to see engines with two intake valves and two exhaust valves. The larger valve is the intake valve, and the smaller valve is the exhaust valve. The pushrod valvetrain gets its name from the metal pushrods which activate the rocker arms which open up the valves. The camshaft, located in the center of the V, has lobes on it which push the push rods up, opening the appropriate valves. For a full explanation of V8 engines, check out the video!

Why Luxury Cars Don't Need To Be Reliable It's Too Complicated, It Won't Last, It's A Mechanical Nightmare? EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How do cars work? It's a simple question, though the answer is quite complicated. And it varies tremendously based on what car we're talking about. A $20,000 compact is far more simple than the $155,000 Mercedes S560 Cabriolet driven in this video. With that extra cost comes luxuriousness, the latest technology, and all kinds of features that most drivers will never even know the car has. Often, complexity is associated with unreliability, and though they may often correlate, that doesn't mean complexity causes unreliability. In the case of luxury cars, it's important to consider who the buyer is. In this video, we'll discuss why it may be a win-win for both manufacturers and consumers to have expensive cars that aren't necessarily reliable.

The Audi SQ7 Has A 48V Electric Sway Bar To Prevent Body Roll EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The adaptive air suspension in the Audi SQ7 features an electromechanical active roll stabilization system. That's a fancy way of saying they've put an electric motor inside their sway bar. Each sway bar (front and rear) has access to a 48V power supply, and is capable of delivering 1200 Nm of torque from a 1.5kW motor. That's in part thanks to a three-step planetary gear reduction of 200:1. The fascinating thing about this system is it allows for the vehicle to change it's understeer/oversteer tendencies in real time. By stiffening the front sway bar relative to the rear, this increases the amount of load transfer the outside front tire sees, increasing understeer. By stiffening the rear sway bar relative to the front, this increases oversteer. This can be balanced for ideal handling. The video describes how this all works!

The 2018 Chevy Corvette Z06 Is An $80,000 Supercar Killer EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Carbon 65 is not only a mouthful, but a riot. With a supercharged 6.2L V8 producing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, it’s never short on acceleration. If a pushrod V8 engine isn’t sophisticated enough for you, it sports magnetic ride control with both front and rear aluminum double wishbone suspensions, 5 drive modes altering 12 parameters whether it’s rainy or you’re on a track, and an aluminum structure that hardly sacrifices rigidity for the convertible model. From the Corvette’s chief engineer Tadge Juechter: “Simply put, until recently it was not possible to create an open-roof structure strong enough to meet Corvette’s highest performance levels. It required advancements in computer-aided engineering, metallurgy and manufacturing – many of which did not exist five years ago – to make a frame strong enough for a Z06 Convertible.” The numbers are stupid, and stupid in a good way. 0-60 in 2.95 seconds, 1/4 mile in 10.95 seconds, 60-0 in just 99.6 feet, and lateral grip of 1.2 g’s. Supercars numbers starting at about $80,000. Check out the video for a full review! From the Z06 Press Kit: "The performance targets of the Z06 also posed a challenge for the design team, which had to create a striking design that also contributed to increased capabilities. The design changes began not with the exterior panels, but the tires. To deliver the levels of grip needed for the Z06’s performance targets, the car was fitted with larger Michelin tires (Pilot Super Sport tires for the Z06; Sport Cup 2 tires with the Z07 package). The P285/30ZR19 front tires are 1.5 inches wider than the tires on the Stingray, while the 335/25ZR20 rear tires are two inches wider. And to cover the wider tire tread, the fenders of the Z06 were extended by 2.2 inches (56 mm) at the front, and 3.15 inches (80 mm) at the rear. These extensions give the Corvette Z06 a wider, lower appearance further emphasized by a unique rear fascia. It incorporates the same taillamp assemblies as the Stingray, but on the Z06 the taillamps are pushed approximately three inches farther apart, toward the edges of the body. The tires are mounted on lightweight, spin-cast aluminum wheels that are also wider than the Stingray (19 x 10 inches in front and 20 x 12 inches in the rear). Their open, ultralight design showcases the massive Brembo brakes, which are part of the design aesthetic: - The Z06 features two-piece steel rotors, measuring 14.6 x 1.3-inch (371 x 33 mm) front and 14.4 x 1-inch (365 x 25 mm) rear, with aluminum six-piston and four-piston fixed calipers, respectively - The Z07 package adds larger, 15.5 x 1.4-inch (394 x 36 mm) front and 15.3 x 1.3-inch (388 x 33 mm) carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors for consistent performance lap after lap, and collectively save 23 pounds over the standard Z06 rotors. The Z06 offers three increasing levels of aerodynamic downforce: - The standard Z06 features a front splitter, spats around the front wheel openings, a unique carbon-fiber hood with a larger vent, and a rear spoiler. - An available carbon-fiber aero package – in either black or a visible carbon-fiber finish – adds a carbon fiber front splitter with aviation-style winglets, carbon fiber rocker panels, and a larger rear spoiler with a fixed wickerbill, which combine to create true aerodynamic downforce. - The available Z07 package add larger winglets to the front splitter, along with an adjustable, see-through center section on the rear spoiler for track use. With this package, the Corvette Z06 delivers the most aerodynamic downforce of any production car GM has tested. - The exterior design also reflects the increased cooling required for the new Corvette Z06. For example, the mesh pattern on the front fascia was painstakingly designed to deliver the most possible airflow to the supercharger’s intercooler heat exchanger, so much so that the mesh grill directs more air into the engine bay than if the grille was removed."

Toyota's Dynamic Force Engine Has Reached 40% Thermal Efficiency EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Toyota's "Dynamic Force Engine" is designed with torque, power, and efficiency in mind. The whole idea of the engine centers on improving the speed of combustion. If combustion is faster, the engine makes more torque, and it does so more efficiently. So how did they do this? Well there are numerous features of the engine which encourage quick combustion. It starts with a compression ratio of 13:1 for conventional engines, or 14:1 for their engine paired with hybrid vehicles. They've increased the stroke/bore ratio, increased the angle between the intake and exhaust valves, straightened the intake path, and incorporated laser clad valve seats. All this results in combustion that you can watch side-by-side occurring significantly faster versus the previous engine. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Which begs the question, if a new Tesla Roadster was on Mars, how long would it take the Roadster to accelerate to 60 MPH? Okay, so maybe it doesn't beg the question, but you're probably at least mildly curious to find out at this point. We'll need to determine the frictional coefficient of the Tesla Roadster's tires (and assume we'll be driving on pavement on Mars, or something with similar grip to asphalt), and then apply this to a vehicle accelerating on a planet with a fraction of the gravity of planet Earth.

EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 V5 engines are a rare anomaly in the automotive world. Honda used a 1.0L V5 engine in motorcycles, with great success, though the setup hasn't been seen in many production cars. VW produced a V5, or more accurately a VR5, for its packaging and power benefits versus a larger VR6, or a smaller inline four cylinder. The VR5 engine style, though only requiring two camshafts (SOHC, 2 valves per cylinder, or DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder), has its complications. The intake and exhaust paths are shorter for two of the cylinders, the crankshaft geometry is offset from the cylinder center lines, and ultimately it's not much more powerful than an inline four cylinder.

Toyota's Direct Shift-CVT Has A First Gear For Starting Off EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 People are often underwhelmed with the driving experience of a CVT, and initially, many CVTs were underwhelming. Toyota is changing that, with numerous improvements to their CVT to make shifts quicker, more precise, and more engaging to drive. And it's no longer just using a belt for accelerating. Starting from a stop, the CVT switches over to a direct gear drive, much like starting in first gear in a manual transmission. As the vehicle speed increases, the first gear is dropped and it switches over to belt drive, letting the CVT handle the higher speeds. The changes to their new continuously variable transmission result in better launch acceleration, faster shift speeds, and a greater transmission efficiency at all vehicle speeds. How is this possible? Check out the video for full details. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

It's good for about 435 horsepower and 660 lb-ft of torque, which is great, but the fun doesn't stop there. In order to eliminate unresponsive nature of turbocharged engines, Audi has fitted the car with an electric supercharger, the first in a production vehicle. This means adding an onboard 48V system that can handle the additional power requirements of the electric powered compressor (EPC), which at full throttle can produce 7 kW of power, enough to spin the compressor wheel up to 70,000 RPM in just a quarter of a second.

How Dynamic Skip Fire Works - The Ultimate Cylinder Deactivation EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Dynamic Skip Fire is a new Tula/Delphi technology that aims to be the ultimate form of cylinder deactivation. It allows for fully variable cylinder deactivation, meaning if you have a V8 engine, it can run on one cylinder, two cylinders, or any number of cylinders up to all eight cylinders. This video will explain how the cylinder deactivation works, what the advantages are, pumping losses, and what real world efficiency benefits can be expected. The majority of the benefit of this system comes from reducing pumping losses. That is to say, it's more efficient to run one cylinder at high load for a certain amount of power, versus running four cylinders at low load for that same amount of power. Dynamic Skip Fire technology will make it's debut in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado with 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines, called "Dynamic Fuel Management."

Flooded Lead Acid vs AGM - Sponsored By Optima Batteries Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 To learn more about OPTIMA Batteries: https://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/support/battery-basics/redtop-vs-yellowtop-vs-bluetop-battery Find an OPTIMA Battery for your vehicle: https://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/product-finder There are three major forms of lead-acid batteries used in cars which will be discussed in this video: Flooded Lead Acid, Spiral Cell Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), and Flat Plate AGM. Flooded lead acid batteries are the most common lead-acid battery found in OEM applications. They offer a cost-effective solution, however they can require more maintenance, and must be mounted upright to avoid spills. Spiral Cell & Flat Plate Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries offer unique advantages over traditional flooded lead acid style batteries. They are maintenance free, and because they use 99.99% pure lead, they offer better cold cranking amps and deep cycling characteristics. They are also more flexible for mounting, as the absorbed glass mat medium prevents acid from spilling. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

"Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you move the wall." Horsepower vs Torque (Actually Explained) - https://youtu.be/u-MH4sf5xkY EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 If you've ever tried to understand the difference between horsepower and torque, you've likely come across this silly expression: "Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you." And while I created a video without the use of bad analogies to explain the difference between the power and torque (https://youtu.be/u-MH4sf5xkY), the comments were flooded with the inaccurate meme anyways. Unfortunately horsepower and torque shouldn't be oversimplified to a short analogy, even if neither of them are all that difficult to understand individually. In this video we'll analyze the expression, and discuss exactly why it is inaccurate, what a more accurate analogy would be, and hopefully clear up additional misconceptions about power and torque through the use of dyno plots and a comparison between a diesel engine with lots of torque, versus a gasoline engine with not much power.

Well, while they both do a wonderful job of increasing and engine's horsepower, they go about it in quite different ways. The turbocharger relies on exhaust gas pressure to spool up a turbine to deliver more air to the engine. A supercharger on the other hand is driven by an engine belt, which rotates a compressor feeding the engine fresh air. While ultimately both will result in more power, there are advantages to each, such as throttle characteristics, efficiency, torque curve characteristics, engine reliability, and packaging. In this video we'll discuss the pros and cons of running a supercharger or a turbocharger on your car. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.

Is the new Subaru STI Type RA worth $50,000? Awesome Car Products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/engineeringexplained Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Driving The 2018 Subaru STI Type RA & BRZ tS - Are They Worth It? From The STI Type RA Press Kit: "The RA designation stands for “Record Attempt” and has been applied to various Subaru performance models. The original venture took place in 1989 when a competition version Subaru Legacy broke the FIA World Speed Endurance Record by clocking over 62,000 miles in 18 days and set a top speed record of 138 mph. Furthering this spirit of endeavor, a special race model WRX STI Type RA NBR Special will attempt a Nürburgring speed record this summer. In keeping with this tradition, the 2018 WRX STI Type RA delivers increased performance through weight reduction, suspension and engine upgrades. The new, numbered limited edition model comes standard with a carbon fiber roof panel, the removal of the spare tire, a carbon fiber pedestal wing and lightweight BBS® 19-in. forged alloy wheels shod with 245/35R19 Yokohama Advan Sports tires. Powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged BOXER engine, the limited edition WRX STI Type RA increases horsepower to an estimated 310hp with the help of an STI-specified new cold air intake and high flow performance exhaust. A retuned ECU and stronger pistons also contribute to the increased engine performance. The six-speed transmission features a revised 3rd gear ratio paired with a short throw shifter. The weight reduction, additional horsepower and revised gearing all contribute to faster acceleration. Handling has been upgraded with inverted front struts and rear double wishbone suspension all with Bilstein® dampers. A modified multi-mode VDC gives the car better stability control to keep it on its intended path. The Brembo® brake system, with monoblock 6-piston front calipers and dual-piston rear calipers, features an exclusive silver finish and is paired with cross-drilled rotors for better heat dissipation. The WRX STI Type RA is immediately identified by an exclusive Cherry Blossom Red accent around both the front mesh grille and new rear bumper cover. An STI front underspoiler has also been added for better stability at high speeds. The exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals, a roof-mounted shark fin antenna and STI fender badges now come in a black finish. The rear deck lid displays the WRX STI Type RA badge. In addition to the eye-catching exterior, the WRX STI Type RA cabin features Recaro® performance design front seats with red bolsters and stitching as well as an embossed STI logo on the head restraints. The signature red stitching and accent trim is visible throughout the cabin. The steering wheel is wrapped in Ultrasuede® for better grip and has a black gloss-finish center spoke insert with STI logo. Push-button start with Keyless Access is also standard equipment. Each of the 500 WRX STI Type RA produced for retail sale has been individually numbered with a plaque mounted on the center console."

What's The Difference Between Horsepower & Torque? Why Is Peak Acceleration At Peak Power? https://youtu.be/cb6rIZfCuHI Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Awesome Car Products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/engineeringexplained Which is better, horsepower or torque? Two words that are often stated in the car community, but often misunderstood. This video seeks to clarify the difference between the two, without silly analogies like "horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take it with you" (which, by the way, is highly inaccurate). Torque is a force acting at a radius, while horsepower simply incorporates time into the equation. This video will discuss the differences, how each applies to internal combustion engines, how they relate, what peak torque and peak horsepower actually mean, and how to analyze torque and horsepower curves. Finally, what's more important for acceleration, a car with lots of power, or lots of torque? Let's get technical. With the context of an engine: Power = Torque x Angular Velocity. In imperial units, this translates to Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5252. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

What are the pros and cons of centrifugal superchargers? Awesome Car Products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/engineeringexplained Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 I bought a centrifugal supercharger for my Honda S2000! In this video we'll discuss the purpose of superchargers, how centrifugal superchargers work, and the advantages and disadvantages of centrifugal style superchargers. Centrifugal superchargers act very similarly to turbochargers, however they are driven by the engine rather than the exhaust. The impeller spins as a result of an engine belt spinning a pulley which is connected to the supercharger transmission, which multiplies the gear ratio between the engine and the impeller, allowing for more boost at each engine RPM.

What is the purpose of a turbo blanket? What are the advantages of using a turbo blanket? This video involves two tests, one completed by myself and Humble Mechanic, the other as a thesis for a masters at UT Austin. For our tests, we seek to see if there are any major temperature differences between using a turbo blanket, versus not. This can mean different cabin temperatures, lower hood temperatures, lower engine bay temperatures, and even lower intake air temperatures. The idea of a turbo blanket is that it keeps all the exhaust heat contained within the turbocharger, rather than radiating out from it. This means more heat is contained as useful pressure, and that pressure spins the turbochargers. With more pressure, you create more power. Does it actually work? Let's watch and find out!

2017 Ford GT has dual spring rates and the first eDSSV dampers. Awesome Car Products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/engineeringexplained Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From Ford's Media Kit: “All of the weight savings and engine advancements served a singular purpose – creating the fastest, most-efficient Ford GT ever,” Pericak said. “Once that was achieved, we reinvested some of those weight savings in truly innovative technology that made the car even faster and more fun to drive.” That includes GT’s hydraulic suspension, which changes ride height with a turn of the knob, which adjusts drive modes. The suspension lowers the supercar from normal mode into track mode – a 50 millimeter or nearly 2-inch difference the driver can see and feel. Track mode raises the wing and closes the front splitter ducts for optimal downforce for spirited, closed-course driving. When the GT changes modes from high to low ride height, changes in spring rates, matching damper settings, and active aerodynamics, come together to create two unique cars in one. Another feature of the hydraulic suspension – front-lift mode – helps GT clear speedbumps and driveways. The driver can raise the front of the car on demand at speeds below 25 mph. The system automatically returns to normal lower ride height when it reaches 25 mph.

Why Car Engines Don't Need Back Pressure + Exhaust Scavenging Awesome Car Products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/engineeringexplained Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Do cars need back pressure? How should you size an exhaust? What exhaust diameter is too large, or too small? What is exhaust scavenging? What is wave scavenging? Why is exhaust velocity important? Cars don't need back pressure. More specifically, internal combustion engines do not benefit from back pressure in the exhaust. Back pressure is a pressure in the opposite direction to the exhaust's flow. The goal of an exhaust is remove spent combustion gases as quickly and efficiently as possible out of the engine cylinders. Back pressure has the opposite effect, impeding exhaust flow. Exhaust velocity, and exhaust scavenging, however, are highly beneficial. This video will discuss wave scavenging, inertial scavenging, and how exhaust pipe length and diameter play a critical role in exhaust velocity and scavenging effectiveness.

Summer tires typically have a glass transition temperature around 40-45 degrees F, and below this temperature the tires become hard and somewhat brittle. Is this enough of a difference to run winter tires, even if the road is dry? In this video we test to find out!

In recent years, the price gap between premium and regular-grade gasoline has risen from a historically steady 10 percent to 25 percent or more per gallon. While past AAA research has shown no benefit in using premium gasoline in a vehicle designed to operate on regular fuel, new testing indicates that some vehicles – those that recommend, but do not require premium gasoline – may see increased fuel economy and performance under certain driving conditions when using the higher-octane gasoline. Unfortunately, the high cost of premium gasoline may outweigh that advantage for many drivers. As a result, AAA recommends drivers weigh the potential benefits against the cost of using premium gasoline, if their vehicle does not require it. “AAA’s testing reveals that drivers could see modest gains in fuel economy and performance when opting for premium gasoline in vehicles that recommend, but do not require, the higher-octane fuel,” said Megan McKernan, manager of the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Automotive Research Center. “Those seeking the maximum capabilities of their performance-focused or utility vehicle may see some benefit from using premium gasoline, particularly over the long haul.” In partnership with the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Automotive Research Center, AAA tested a variety of vehicles that recommend, but do not require, the use of premium (91 octane or higher) gasoline. Although drivers of these vehicles are unlikely to see any benefit from using premium gasoline during typical city or highway driving, a combination of laboratory and on-road tests were performed to simulate extreme driving scenarios such as towing, hauling cargo and aggressive acceleration. When using premium fuel in these vehicles under these conditions, AAA tests found that: - Fuel economy for test vehicles averaged a 2.7 percent improvement. Individual vehicle test result averages ranged from a decrease of 1 percent (2016 Audi A3) to an improvement of 7.1 percent (2016 Cadillac Escalade). - Horsepower for test vehicles averaged an increase of 1.4 percent. Individual vehicle test result averages ranged from a decrease of 0.3 percent (2016 Jeep Renegade) to an improvement of 3.2 percent (2017 Ford Mustang). - According to national averages, the price difference between regular and premium gasoline is approximately 20 to 25 percent, or 50 cents per gallon. - The modest fuel economy improvements found in AAA tests do not offset the higher cost of premium gasoline."

PowerPulse, Superchargers, and Electric Motors Kill Turbo Lag Turbo Lag vs Boost Threshold - https://youtu.be/cKvOEZ7JCJc Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From The Volvo Press Kit: "Turbo lag. If the term is unfamiliar, there’s a high chance you have still encountered this common powertrain affliction. This is the experience with many turbocharged engines, when there’s a delay between the driver pressing the throttle and the engine responding as it waits for the turbine to supply its performance boost. Volvo’s D5 twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine, however, features an ingenious solution. It combines an electrically driven compressor and a pressurised air tank to ensure immediate, on-demand acceleration. When the driver requests rapid momentum by pressing harder on the throttle pedal, compressed air from the tank is released into the exhaust system feeding the turbo to quicken response. And because Volvo’s Drive-E powertrains are engineered to deliver efficient power, the PowerPulse technology is a performance benefit that doesn’t come at the expense of fuel consumption. The D5 twin-turbo diesel engine with PowerPulse is currently available on Volvo’s 90-series models, including the XC90, S90, and forthcoming V90 Cross Country."

They also define turbo lag as: "Turbo lag is the time delay of boost response after the throttle is opened when operating above the boost threshold engine speed. Turbo lag is determined by many factors, including turbo size relative to engine size, the state of tuning of the engine, the inertia of the turbo's rotating group, turbine efficiency, intake plumbing losses, exhaust backpressure, etc." Source: https://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/faq_turbo Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Hennessey and team have developed a completely new design, chassis and carbon fiber body focused on aerodynamics to achieve the lowest possible drag. The new F5 design features active aero that will yield a coefficient of drag of just 0.33. “We’ve designed F5 to be timeless so that in 25 years it will still have a level of performance and design that will be unmatched,” said John Hennessey, company Founder and CEO. “The F5 is an all new car, designed and built from the ground up, from the engine to the chassis. We expect the Venom F5, named for the most powerful tornado speed winds on the Fujita scale, to be the first road car capable of achieving more than 300 mph and have worked closely with Pennzoil to get us across the finish line.” The Hennessey team is developing an all new, twin turbo V8 engine that will deliver over 1600 bhp. The Hennessey engine will be mated to a 7-speed single clutch paddle shift transmission and delivering power down to the rear tires. The Venom will also feature an all new light weight chassis and all carbon fiber body, which will give the F5 a curb weight of 2,950 lbs. The F5’s combination of light weight, low drag and all-American horsepower will deliver a new level of hypercar performance. Acceleration from 0 to 186 mph (300 km/h) will be less than 10 seconds making the new Venom quicker than current Formula 1 race cars. Zero to 249 mph (400 km/h) and back to rest will be under 30 seconds. The top speed of the Venom F5 is projected to exceed 300 mph. The base price for the Venom F5 is $1.6 million US dollars.

Called the MX-5 RF—for retractable fastback—the latest version of Mazda’s longstanding sports car was seen as the tuxedo complement to the roadster’s track suit. Its top took all of 13 seconds to go from closed to open, or vice versa. MX-5 RF also introduced an aura of premium aesthetics in its seductive appeal, complemented with its Machine Gray Metallic paint, hand-painted black top and Auburn Nappa leather interior. MX-5 RF captivated show-goers, retaining its familiarity with its soft-top sibling but charting new territory with the only top of its kind this side of six figures. The color combination proved so captivating that Mazda North American Operations sought to offer it exclusively as a 1,000-unit Launch Edition, giving the first customers of the MX-5 RF—some of Mazda’s most loyal customers— but one option: six-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission or six-speed automatic."

Here's Why The 2017 Honda Civic Type R Doesn't Have Torque Steer Honda Civic Type R Review - https://youtu.be/yc_-DIxdn0A Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From The Honda Civic Type R Press Kit: "Front and Rear Suspension - Specially equipped with an Adaptive Damper System (see below), the Civic Type R front and rear suspension systems provide exceptional handling that puts the new model at the top of its competitive segment, which includes benchmark American, European and Japanese sport-compact competitors. In front, dual-axis struts contribute to the Type R's highly responsive steering, while also optimizing component packaging and crash performance. In back, a multi-link system provides exacting handling characteristics, while also helping maximize second-row seating and cargo space. Firmer spring and bushing rates, additional suspension camber and front steering caster, and stiffer front and rear stabilizer bars, sharpen turn-in response while minimizing body roll during cornering. The front and rear stabilizer bars are bonded to their mounting bushings and use low-friction connecting links for smoother operation. While the new Type R suspension clearly has a keen sporting edge, it doesn't come at the expense of comfort. On the road, the Type R provides an accommodating cabin environment – along with the great cargo utility you would expect from its 5-door hatchback design. Dual-Axis Strut Front Suspension The dual-axis strut front suspension was designed especially for the Type R. It features aluminum knuckles, strut forks and lower arms, and has special geometry optimized for sport handling that includes more initial negative camber for crisper turn-in, and more caster, which adds stability. Although the front track is more than 2 inches wider than that of the Hatchback LX, a ¾-inch reduction in steering axis offset (each side) greatly reduces torque steer. The lower suspension arms are aluminum, and the Type R uses a 29.0mm tubular stabilizer bar. The front spring rates are twice as stiff as those of the Civic Hatchback LX and the large diameter lightweight hollow stabilizer bar is 1.7-times stiffer. The specially tuned Adaptive Damper System (see below) helps the Type R excel on the street and track by allowing different, optimized damping curves that also adjust automatically to suit conditions while driving, based on steering input, lateral G and suspension stroke. Multi-Link Rear Suspension Specially tuned for the Type R, the multi-link rear suspension provides nimble handling in city driving, precise response for sport driving and emergency maneuvers, and the ultimate in track performance in the +R drive mode. Mounted on a rigid subframe, the system incorporates stamped-steel control arms, aluminum hub carriers and a 20.5mm solid stabilizer bar, which helps provide crisp turn-in along with body roll control. Compared to the Civic Hatchback LX, unique rear suspension tuning for the new Civic Type R includes a 1.6-times higher spring rate, a 2.4-times higher stabilizer bar rate, and bushings that are over twice as firm. In addition, the Type R rear control arms are supremely rigid, the rear track is 1.2-inches wider, and more negative wheel camber is utilized – all to increase handling response, cornering agility and overall stability."

Rolls Royce Developed A 4 Rotor Diesel Wankel Engine How Rotary Engines Work - https://youtu.be/sd6pJtR4PaY Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Jalopnik Article: https://jalopnik.com/this-might-be-the-weirdest-engine-rolls-royce-ever-made-1797954082 It's as crazy as it sounds. Rolls Royce developed a diesel rotary engine for military applications. Because diesel engines require high compression ratios for compression ignition to occur, they used a second rotor to effectively multiply the compression ratio. From the original Autocar article: "The first Rolls—Royce development engine was the R1 which was conceived purely as a research tool. With a compressor stage of 1,126 c.c., and a combustion stage of 500 c.c., it produced over 50 bhp and achieved specific fuel consumptions of better than O.5lb/bhp/hour. Among other things, it was used to develop the best inter—porting arrangement between the two stages. The R2 engine was the alternative three-stage layout, built but not investigated in detail. R3 refers to a combustion stage only, which is being used as a basic unit to build up a range of engines; it has a displacement of 1,216 c.c., and has produced 180 bhp at 4,500 rpm under test conditions. The remaining engine of which details may be given is the 2—R6. This is a military engine formed of two banks of a two—stage engine. Each high pressure (combustion) stage has a displacement of 1,265 c.c., and is fed by a low-pressure stage of 3,250 c.c. The design power is 350 bhp at 4,500 rpm, for a weight of 939lb-a spectacular power-to-weight ratio for a diesel." Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Why Do Engines Lose Horsepower As They Get Older? Sponsored by: https://www.AutoTempest.com/ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 There are four things a gasoline engine requires to generate power and almost any engine problem will come down to something relating to one of these four factors. 1. Air 2. Fuel 3. Compression 4. Spark Dirty Air Filter A clogged air filter makes the engine work harder to pull in air, and can restrict the maximum amount of air let in. Less air means less power. Exhaust Restrictions The engine will have to work harder to push out exhaust gases, limiting power. Catalytic converters can clog up on engines with an improper air/fuel mixture or as a result of fuel additives reacting within. Mufflers can also fail internally, and alterations of the internal piping can result in an airflow restriction. Fuel Injectors Deposits can build up on the injectors over time from heat soak or poor fuel. Small restrictions can cause the O2 sensors to read a lean mixture, and so more fuel will be added to compensate. This can result in a rich mixture for the cylinders without injector problems, or even misfiring if the injector isn’t capable of injecting enough fuel. Fuel Pumps Overtime the fuel pump can wear out, but it might not necessarily fail catastrophically. While it may still be able to supply fuel at lower pressures, it may begin to struggle to provide fuel at higher pressures or for longer durations. Worn Piston Rings One of the major things that can happen over time is the piston rings will wear down, and this will allow for blow-by. Some of the high pressure air and fuel mixture combusting will pass by the pistons and travel along the cylinder walls into the crank case. This is pressure that should be pressing the piston down, so power is lost. It also means less compression as some of the air can escape as the piston travels upward on the intake stroke. Carbon Deposits On Intake Valves/Valve Seats If carbon deposits build up on the valves or valve seats, this can prevent the valves from closing properly. If an intake valve cannot fully close, it will allow air to escape during the compression stroke, effectively lowering the compression ratio. Carbon Deposits On The Piston If deposits build on the piston or cylinder walls, these deposits can create hot spots. These hot spots can result in engine knock if conditions allow for it. If the engine is capable, it will retard the ignition timing to reduce the likelihood of knock. By retarding the ignition timing, power is lost. Fouled Spark Plugs Spark plugs can build deposits with time. Inconsistent spark plug firing means you’re likely to misfire. Maintaining clean plugs ensures that the spark part of the equation doesn’t result in a loss of power.

Coasting in neutral, or engine braking? Of course, the answer is it depends. A simple example? If you're approaching a red light, and know that it's going to remain red, engine braking will slow you down without using any fuel, and will be the most efficient option. If you know for a fact that the light is going to turn green before you reach it (which, you don't, but hypothetically), then it's more efficient to coast in neutral and maintain your speed, then get back on the accelerator once the light has turned green.

Young gentlemen in a hurry, driven by their restless spirits to change the world in their own way. Untrammelled by social convention, these disruptors lived life on the edge, believing the ultimate power to be self-empowerment, pushing every boundary to realise their personal vision. Glamorous and daring, they lived fast, worked hard and played hard. Today’s generation of young, self-empowered, self-confident rule-breakers are just as uncompromising and unapologetic in their choice of living and lifestyle as their predecessors. They follow the road less travelled, live the unconventional life, darkly obsessed by their own pursuits and accomplishments from which they derive a pure adrenaline rush. Their life is their entertainment, and they live it on their own terms. And when the day is done, and the battle is won, these supremely confident people engage with the night, they go where it leads, and take all it has to offer as their just reward. As demanding in their lifestyle as they are in their life pursuits, these highly-driven people insist on great substance from any symbol of their lifestyle. More and more, such individuals wish to demonstrate their success through a symbiosis between their life’s work and their chosen brands. Over the last years, many such individuals have gravitated towards the revitalised Rolls-Royce Motor Cars as the brand most appropriate to encapsulate their truly individual lifestyles, much as their celebrated predecessors did in days past. Always pushing their own boundaries, they have asked Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to do the same. Excited by the infinite possibilities that its Bespoke approach offers, they have asked the marque “to produce a Rolls-Royce like no other, a Rolls-Royce that not only appeals to, and projects, our sensibilities, but is fundamentally different – like us.” And, always ready to deliver a truly Bespoke answer to meet the customer’s desire, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has once again demonstrated its true luxury credentials as the world’s leading super-luxury brand. Rolls-Royce has transformed the very icons of its brand to access a darker side of its character more suited to this breed of successful people. The result is Black Badge."

What Is A Hot V Turbo Engine? 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C 2017 AVA Car Of The Year - https://youtu.be/frajAPP9xRg Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From Mercedes Website on the "Hot Inside V" setup: "For better performance and packaging, the AMG V8's twin turbos are placed inside the "V" of the engine. A sports-car first, it sends the compressed charge from each turbo to its bank of cylinders via an extremely short path, with near-zero pressure loss or turbo lag. The high-pressure turbos spool up quickly to as much as 186,000 rpm. The setup is also highly efficient from intake to exhaust, with liquid-cooled intercoolers and close-mounted catalysts that reach peak efficiency in seconds. The AMG-developed V8 is engineered for a new era of performance. Generating higher output from less displacement, the 469-hp V8 biturbo engine is more responsive yet up to 30% more efficient. Its massive torque reaches its 465 lb-ft peak at just 1,700 rpm, and holds it all the way to 5,000 rpm, for a 3.9-second 0-60 time and instant acceleration at any speed. Yet even with its advanced design and technologies, each AMG engine is still hand-built and signed by its own craftsman." Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Drag plays the biggest role. The coefficient of drag is heavily influenced by the vehicle's cooling system, which requires airflow to offset the heat generated from the high power required to reach top speeds. Because electric cars are far more efficient, would they therefor require less cooling, and as a result more easily reach a top speed? This video discusses to find out!

How Does VW's New Budack Engine Cycle Work? How Water Cooled Exhausts Work - https://youtu.be/nNendiDFzSM Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From the Volkswagen Tiguan Media Kit: "The all-new 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan arrives in dealerships this summer powered by the most advanced version ever of Volkswagen’s EA888 four-cylinder engine. The updated version of the benchmark EA888 four-cylinder, turbocharged and direct-injection engine uses an innovative modification to the conventional four-stroke cycle to offer an improved combination of power, efficiency and responsiveness. First introduced in the 2009 CC, the EA888 continued Volkswagen’s move toward smaller, turbocharged engines that offer the fuel economy benefits of downsizing with the power of a larger-displacement unit. Though EPA estimates are not yet available, compared with the 1.8-liter EA888 Gen 3 engine that is fitted in the current Passat, Jetta, Beetle, and Golf family models, the new 2.0-liter EA888 Generation 3B is expected to offer improved fuel efficiency along with a 20 percent boost in maximum torque to 221 pound-feet. The majority of the engine—from the cast-iron block to the aluminum-alloy pistons and cylinder head to the valve springs—has been updated along the way. During development, engineers focused on making the engine more efficient in the range of driving that most customers use every day, which led to the introduction of a modified Miller combustion cycle that is unique to the Volkswagen Group. Whereas the traditional Miller cycle closes the intake valves just before the end of the intake stroke, the so-called Budack-cycle closes the intake valves much earlier. This results in longer effective combustion as well as faster air flow for the incoming gases, which improves the mixing of the fuel and air. The net effect is lower fuel consumption and more torque than the 2.0-liter EA888 engine fitted in the 2017 Tiguan. The key feature that enables the new engine to produce better fuel economy, as well as excellent performance, is the variable valve timing system on the intake camshaft. Depending on engine load, it is possible to switch between short and long valve opening. At idling speed and under partial load, the valve opening is shorter. When the engine is placed under greater load, a switch to the camshaft lobe that opens the valve for a longer period is made and the driver can make use of the full power and torque of the engine. The changes in the new version of the EA888 advance the twin goals of power and efficiency. The peak 184 horsepower (for the Tiguan) kicks in at 4,400 rpm, 400 revs sooner than in the 1.8-liter edition, and maintains its output until 6,000 rpm. Maximum torque of 221 lb-ft is achieved at 1,600 to 3,940 rpm. As in the previous 2.0-liter TSI® engines, the increased displacement comes solely from a longer piston stroke (92.8 mm vs. 84.1 mm in the 1.8 TSI), while the compression ratio rises to 11.7:1 due to a modified piston crown and combustion chamber. New TSI injectors can push fuel into the cylinder at a higher maximum pressure (250 bar or 3,626 psi), with up to three injection sequences per stroke depending on conditions."

How Do Electric Cars Work? Can They Be Tuned For More Power? Manual Transmission Electric Car - https://youtu.be/36H9BVeMYMI Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Big Thanks To Formula E For Sponsoring This Video! Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DuRqsBQOEk_5o1q4Ze-Fg Let’s look at a simplified explanation of a three phase, permanent magnet AC motor. It’s really comprised of two main parts, the stator, which has copper coils and is stationary, and the rotor, which has magnets on it and rotates. In order to force the rotor to rotate, the stator has three sets of magnets, though in reality it could be many more. The magnetic force for each magnet is created by a wound copper coil. If you pass current through a copper coil, it creates a magnetic field, with a north and south pole, based on which direction the current is passing through the copper wires. These six magnets make up our stator, which remains stationary. In the center, we have our rotor, in this case a simplified rotor which is simply a magnet that rotates about its center, with a north and south pole. As you pass a current through the copper wires, supplied from the electric car’s battery, that current creates a magnetic field in a pair of electromagnets. The north pole of the magnet in the center is attracted to the south pole of the electromagnet, and the south pole of the magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other electromagnet. Similarly, the north and south poles of a separate winding will repel the magnetic rotor, and in combination the magnetic forces will cause the rotor to spin. Another important thing to note is that if you reverse the current in one of the sets of electro magnets, you will reverse the poles for that magnet. As the the rotor spins, a controller will manipulate the current in the electromagnets, making sure the rotor never fully lines up with a magnetic pole and is forced to rotate. As you can see, the stator creates a rotating magnetic field, and the rotor spins with it. The stator rotates the magnetic field faster and faster, forcing the magnet to rotate faster and faster as well, accelerating the vehicle. Since power is a function of both torque and RPM, how much power this motor produces is dependent on a couple factors. First, how much current and voltage is supplied, which will increase the strength of the electromagnets, which will in turn increase the torque on the rotor. And also how quickly the current can rotate around the stator, which will ultimately play a part in the peak RPM of the motor. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protective Film Self Heals Car Scratches Brought To You By XPEL - http://www.xpel.com/ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Find An XPEL Installer Near You: http://www.xpel.com/locator/search/clearbra_installers/ Transguard In Boise, ID http://www.transguardprotection.com/ FAQs: Is the film removable? Yes! The adhesive is well balanced so that the film is completely removable, but it adheres well enough that if it's installed correctly it will not peel up, nor will dirt work it's way under the edges. Can areas other than the front, for example doors and rocker panels, be covered with protective film? Yes! Installers regularly cover the painted surfaces of entire vehicles (such as my S2000). And it's not just sports cars, they often fully cover pickups and SUVs, adding protection for work sites, off road, and on road debris. A client can have paint protection film put on as much or as little of their vehicle as he or she likes. What is this XPEL ULTIMATE? Well it’s made up of three layers, plus a release liner. The release liner is about 3 mil thick, and is removed before installation to reveal the adhesive. The next layer is an acrylic adhesive, about 1.6 mil thick. The adhesive bonds the protective film to the car, but it also has a stronger bond to the film layer than your car, which means you could always remove the film down the line if you choose to. The second layer, and the meat of the film is a 6 mil polyurethane layer. This layer is important for energy absorption, so if a rock were to hit your car, the layer dissipates the energy across a wider surface area, and prevents your paint from chipping. Now if you were to stop with just two layers, the urethane layer is porous. These pores tend to open up with heat, and close when it’s cold. As a result, you could get pollen, diesel exhaust particulates, dust, and other road grime that could build up in the pores, and eventually you would see the film start to discolor. To prevent this, XPEL ULTIMATE has one final layer, a clear coat about 0.5 mil thick. This top coat is a harder layer, but it’s still very capable of being stretched. The hard, smooth top layer makes the film more environmentally stable, providing self-healing properties, chemical resistance, oxidation resistance, and preventing contaminants from entering the film and discoloring it. But of course the question you’re wondering is how does this stuff self-heal simply with the application of heat? From a physical standpoint, the important thing to understand is that these scratches are more like surface rearrangements, rather than tears in the film. The film can withstand a lot of pressure without tearing, though of course if you were to take for example a knife and stab through it, you cannot heal a tear through the entire film. Using a wire brush and creating surface scratches, what’s actually happening is the surface of the film is simply being re-arranged into a different shape. The film wants to return to its lowest energy state, but because it’s relatively cool, the film maintains the shape created with the wire brush. When you add heat, it allows the film to return to its lowest, flattest energy state, and once again it appears perfectly smooth and clear. You could almost think of it like an ice-cube, not a perfect analogy, but you can scratch an ice cube, heat up the scratches back to a smooth state, and then re-freeze it back to its original state. In a similar manner, heat allows this film to return to its original state. And it doesn’t even necessarily require a ton of heat, simple letting the car sit outside in the sun will let the film return to its lowest energy state.

The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Is Better In Every Way 2016 Subaru Crosstrek Review - https://youtu.be/4CF6ibHBuqs Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From Subaru's Press Kit: - All-new design language for exterior and interior - Second model to use Subaru Global Platform - 2.0-liter Boxer Engine with Direct Injection - Active Torque Vectoring for improved handling - Available X-Mode for off-road use - New Driver Assist Technology - New Multimedia system adds Android Auto and Apple CarPlay "The new Subaru Global Platform, together with the SUBARU BOXER engine; Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD); and EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, represent the brand’s core technologies and constitutes the foundation of the next generation of Subaru vehicles. Crosstrek’s new platform integrates new framework with optimized cross sections and highly stiffened joints between structures to significantly enhance straight-line stability, agility, and ride comfort while suppressing noise, vibration, and harshness to a degree not seen before in the small SUV class. Specifically, the new platform increases rigidity of the unitized body structure by over 70 percent. A lower center of gravity and revised suspension systems contribute to the biggest-ever leap in Subaru’s performance evolution. The double-wishbone independent rear suspension mounts its rear stabilizer bar directly to the body, which significantly improves body stiffness and stability compared to the outgoing model. Greater hazard-avoidance capability is another benefit of the Subaru Global Platform’s inherent handling agility. In addition, the resolute straight-line stability that makes the 2018 Crosstrek more relaxing to drive is also an important constituent of the autonomous driving capability this platform can support in future Subaru vehicles. A revised version of the FB 2.0-liter 4-cylinder Boxer engine gains direct fuel injection and other enhancements to boost both performance (now 152-hp vs. 148 before) and drivability. The 2.0i base and Premium trims come standard with a six-speed manual transmission and are available with the Lineartronic CVT. The Limited trim come standard with the CVT featuring a 7-speed manual mode function with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission via seven pre-set ratios. Premium trim equipped with CVT also features manual mode with paddle shifters." Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Will Future Electric Cars Use A Manual Transmission? Electric Cars Only Have 1 Gear? - https://youtu.be/36H9BVeMYMI Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Big Thanks To Formula E For Sponsoring This Video! Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DuRqsBQOEk_5o1q4Ze-Fg This is the second video of a five part series where I’ve partnered with Formula E to answer questions about electric vehicles, and this topic was actually inspired by Renault’s season 2 Formula E car, which uses a 2-speed gearbox matched with a single transversely mounted electric motor. What’s super clever about their set up, is that they have incorporated a manual gear stick, using cables and rods to switch between the two gears, rather than the pneumatic paddle shifters which other teams were using. Renaults solution is simpler, and also lighter, as it doesn’t require onboard pumps or air-tanks for gear shifts. But could this be taken a step further, and incorporate a clutch as well for street cars? I spent some time chatting with the current Formula E champion, Lucas Di Grassi, who spends his free time engineering electric bikes, about this idea. We have two questions to answer: 1. Is it possible? 2. Is it logical? Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How To Powder Coat Your Car Wheels Honda S2000 Playlist - https://goo.gl/mvZqpi Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Link's To Aaron Gallinger's Work: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/expressphoenix/ Website - http://www.phoenixrimrepair.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wheelrepairphoenix The powder is a blend of polymers, pigments, and other ingredients which are mixed in a hopper. The hopper has a fluidizing plate at the bottom which flows air up through the powder, keeping it in a liquid like state for application. Aaron is using his own self-made fluidizing hopper.  Now looking at powder coating gun, on the front of it is a corona ring, which is attached to ground and this captures any overcharged powder particles so that they don’t cause any disruptions on the wheel. Not every powder coating gun has a corona ring. On the front of the gun you can see the x-pattern tip for spraying powder. Once removed, you can see the electrode which charges the powder, and then a white plastic sleeve around it which protects the powder gun from getting any cured powder inside of it. This electrode tip operates up to 80,000 volts. This high voltage ionizes the air surrounding it, meaning the surrounding air particles don’t have a matching number of protons and electrons; in other words it creates a cloud or field around it with a charge. There are different guns available, some with the ability to provide negatively charged particles, and some provide positively charged particles. With Aaron’s powder gun, the powder is then forced through the ionized field using air pressure, and the powder picks up a charge as it passes though. The wheel, in this scenario, is grounded. As the charged powder particles move through the air, they head to the nearest ground, which in this case is the wheel, which the powder then sticks to.

Acura NSX Aerodynamics Explained Using Flow Visualization Paint Chapter 1: Engineering A Feeling - https://youtu.be/TWchbinrtpc Brought To You By Acura - https://www.acura.com Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The second-generation Acura NSX is beautiful, but all of these striking lines actually serve an aerodynamic purpose, what Acura calls “Total Airflow Management.” The strategy can really be broken down into three main categories. First, there’s cooling for which air will flow through the vehicle, and through all 10 heat exchangers. Second, downforce must be considered to maximize grip, so there’s a flat underbody and rear diffuser for the air that flows underneath the NSX. Finally, you want to minimize drag to keep the car aerodynamically efficient, by manipulating the way the air flows around the vehicle. To better understand the aerodynamics of the NSX, we’re going to be using flow-visualization paint. What this paint does is show you the real world properties of a vehicle’s aerodynamics. While computational fluid dynamics was heavily utilized in the design of the body shape, this paint will allow for you and I to actually see it all work on car itself. Occasionally you’ll see this paint used in Formula 1 on test days, where teams are looking to determine the effectiveness of their aerodynamics at specific tracks.

Ultimately, manual transmissions are designed with flexibility in mind. Inherently they allow for choosing any gear at any time, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should. Of course, and gear you select, you need to make sure that the engine RPM will not exceed redline, and it's also wise to rev-match (or double clutch, if needed), as to not damage your synchronizers or clutch. An unmatched upshift will result in a rough shift. An unmatched downshift can easily result in additional synchronizer wear, as well as clutch wear, and can also upset the balance of the car. That said, skipping gears, when matching engine RPM appropriately, does not cause any harm to the drivetrain, and is completely fine to do.

This is the first of a five part series sponsored by Formula E, who I’ve partnered with to talk about the engineering behind electric cars. I had the opportunity to get behind the scenes at the New York City E-Prix, and was able to chat with team principals, hang out in the engineering rooms during qualifying, and even learn from this year’s champion, Lucas di Grassi. So why do electric cars use just a single gear, rather than using traditional transmissions like you’d find paired with internal combustion engines? Electric motors can get away without numerous gears because they are high revving, remain fairly efficient across a very broad rev range, and produce a great amount of torque at low RPM.

How Mazda's Spark Controlled Compression Ignition Engine Works How HCCI Engines Work - https://youtu.be/OVWZFdb_AGc Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Mazda may have solved the mystery of HCCI engines with their latest engine to be introduced in 2019, SkyActiv-X. The engine uses a spark plug to overcome the challenges generally associated with HCCI engines. The engine will be capable of running on compression only, or using a spark plug to control timing. Compression ignition gasoline engines are 20-30% more efficient, yet have much cleaner emissions than diesel engines as they burn cooler, limiting the amount of NOx. From Mazda's Press Release regarding SkyActiv-X: "Technological innovations - SKYACTIV-X is the world’s first commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition, in which the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously when compressed by the piston - A proprietary combustion method called Spark Controlled Compression Ignition overcomes two issues that had impeded commercialization of compression ignition gasoline engines: maximizing the zone in which compression ignition is possible and achieving a seamless transition between compression ignition and spark ignition. Features - This new proprietary combustion engine combines the advantages of gasoline and diesel engines to achieve outstanding environmental performance, power and acceleration performance. - Compression ignition and a supercharger fitted to improve fuel economy together deliver unprecedented engine response and increase torque 10–30 percent over the current SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine.3 - Compression ignition makes possible a super lean burn4 that improves engine efficiency up to 20–30 percent over the current SKYACTIV-G, and from 35–45 percent over Mazda’s 2008 gasoline engine of the same displacement. SKYACTIV-X even equals or exceeds the latest SKYACTIV-D diesel engine in fuel efficiency. - With high efficiency across a wide range of rpms and engine loads, the engine allows much more latitude in the selection of gear ratios, providing both superior fuel economy and driving performance."

How Engineers Connected Man And Machine In the Acura NSX Engineering A Feeling Brought To You By Acura - https://www.acura.com Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Acura believes the best way to engineer a feeling, to become one with the car, is the idea of zero-delay. Basically any inputs from the driver must result in immediate outputs from the car. For example, all of the interfaces that you as a driver touch, must react seamlessly. The throttle, the brakes, the steering, and the shifting. If there’s a delay between when you act, and when the car reacts, you feel disconnected from the driving experience, and it’s that delay that Acura sought to eliminate. Typically with turbocharged engines, there’s a response delay in the throttle as a result of turbo lag. In the NSX, this delay is eliminated by using the immediate torque of the three electric motors. All three motors provide peak torque up to 2,000 RPM, and by 2,000 RPM the engine is ready to provide peak torque all the way to 6,000 RPM. The result is an instantaneous response to your throttle inputs, and a huge range of available torque regardless of the engine speed. For the steering, the NSX uses an electronically assisted power steering rack with a variable ratio which gets progressively tighter as you turn the wheel. The ratio starts at 12.9, so you have quick turn in without much steering angle. But having a car that’s instantly responsive to your steering inputs isn’t just about the steering ratio. With the mid-engine design, the vehicles mass is located towards the center, and this reduces the polar moment of inertia, allowing for the NSX to change directions more quickly. The body of car is a multi-material space frame that’s extremely rigid, so whenever steering input is asked for, it’s immediately answered. On top of the rigid body and steering system, Acura also uses direct yaw control. Acura’s agile handling assist can brake the inside tires when turning into a corner to help prevent understeer, or brake the outside tires to help prevent oversteer. Simultaneously, the twin motor unit can provide negative torque to the inside tire in a corner to create a yaw moment, as well as accelerate the outside motor to help pull the car out of a corner. The motors can act independently of throttle control, meaning the twin motor unit can can send power instantly to the outside wheel as soon as the driver turns into a corner, as needed through the corner, and then at the throttle application point to help pull the car out of a corner and keep it on path. All of this tech is seamlessly combined to give the driver an instantaneous response to their steering inputs, and a car that follows the intended steering path.

How Does The Dodge Demon's Transbrake and Torque Reserve Work? How The Demon Hits 60 In 2.3 Sec - https://youtu.be/93MuL4lRrO8 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 IMPORTANT NOTE - The throttle is located before the supercharger, unlike how it is drawn in the video. This doesn't really change much, you will have pre-filled 8 psi of boost past the supercharger, but the drawn location of the throttle is incorrect. You can clearly see the throttle comes first at 1:37 in the video. Apologies for any confusion, hope everyone's having a wonderful day! From The 2018 Dodge Demon Press Kit: "TransBrake is a production car first. Every Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is equipped with the standard TorqueFlite 8HP90 eight-speed automatic transmission. Already a proven and robust gearbox used with the HEMI Hellcat V-8, the transmission gets some significant changes for duty in the Challenger SRT Demon. Internal changes include an upgraded torque converter that delivers an 18 percent increase in torque multiplication. Also, the stall speed is increased 11 percent and the lockup speed is increased. The Challenger SRT Demon is the first-ever, factory-production car with TransBrake, which locks the transmission output shaft to hold the car in place before a standing start. This lets the driver increase engine speed up to 2,350 rpm without overpowering the brakes, resulting in quicker power delivery and up to 15 percent more torque at launch. Driver-oriented step-by-step instructions are displayed on the instrument cluster to guide the driver through the staging process and help them keep their focus on the Christmas Tree. The TransBrake helps to improve driver reaction time and launch consistency by using the steering wheel paddle shifters as a launch trigger – a paddle launch improves reaction time by 30 percent compared with a foot-brake launch. In addition, the system enables delivery of initial torque to the flywheel as soon as 20 milliseconds after launch. TransBrake works in conjunction with another SRT Demon first-ever factory-production car feature, Torque Reserve, to deliver increased levels of power and torque at launch. Torque Reserve becomes active once engine speed passes 950 rpm. It does two things: 1. Closes the bypass valve, “prefilling” the supercharger with boost 2. Manages fuel flow to cylinders and manages spark advance or retard to balance engine rpm and torque With TransBrake and Torque Reserve active, the SRT Demon has more than 8 psi of boost at launch and up to 120 percent more engine torque than without Torque Reserve. TransBrake also preloads the driveline with torque, leading to full engine torque delivery at the rear wheels 150 milliseconds after the shift paddle is released. That results in faster acceleration at launch, faster 60-foot times and an improvement of more than a tenth of a second in quarter-mile times, which can be an entire car length."

We have a 3D printed EJ20 Subaru boxer engine, as well as a 22RE Toyota inline-four engine. We’ll start fairly basic and work our way through several different topics for each layout, including the four strokes, the firing interval and order, the vibrations of each layout, the packaging differences, the cylinder head differences, and finally a bit about the sound. Looking at either layout, they’re both based on the same four strokes. Intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Both engines fire one cylinder for every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation, but they have slightly different firing orders. On each engine, we can see cylinders one, two, three, and four. For the boxer engine, the firing interval is one, three, two, four, while on the straight four it’s one, three, four, two, so the order of the last two cylinders firing is switched. On the boxer engine, you’ll notice the pairs of pistons move in and out together. This means that the primary forces when the piston reaches the top of the cylinder, as well as when they reach the bottom of the cylinder, are canceled out. On the inline four cylinder engine, it’s the same story, the primary forces cancel out as the pairs of pistons reach the top and bottom at the same time. When we get into secondary forces, however, the engines begin to differ. Secondary forces are created due to the piston traveling faster at the top half of the piston than at the bottom half, something I’ll include a link to in the description for a video that breaks it down in great detail. What you need to know though, is that when the piston reaches the very top of the cylinder, or the very bottom, the secondary force points up or out from the piston. Now with the boxer engine, since the pistons point opposite each other, these forces are balanced out, resulting in a very smooth running engine. For the inline four, all of the forces point in the same direction, and thus do not cancel each other out, causing the engine to vibrate unless balancing shafts are used. The boxer engine isn’t perfect, however, because the pistons do not perfectly align with each other, it creates a rocking moment which makes the engine want to rotate back and forth along the vertical axis. What’s fascinating, however, is that if you add two cylinders to either of these designs, whether it’s a boxer six or an inline six, you can perfectly eliminate all first and second order forces and moments. You might think the boxer six would have a rocking motion from the cylinder banks of three, but each bank of three cylinders cancels out the rocking motion of the other, unlike in a V6 configuration. The other biggest advantage of the boxer engine is the low profile, which keeps the center of gravity low and thus reduces the amount of load transfer you have in the car during braking, cornering, or accelerating, which improves grip. With a lower center of gravity, you can also reduce body roll and choose to use softer springs. Additionally, in the event of a collision, it’s easier to position the engine so that it goes underneath the passenger compartment, rather than into the passenger compartment, for improved safety. That’s not to say the inline four doesn’t have it’s own size advantages. Generally it’s a bit more compact, with only one cylinder head, and it’s not quite as wide as the boxer engine. This leaves more room for suspension geometry, and can also allow for a better steering angle, since the tires won’t have as much of an interference at full lock.

How Does The Dodge Demon Power Chiller Work? How The Demon Hits 60 In 2.3 Sec - https://youtu.be/93MuL4lRrO8 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From The 2018 Dodge Demon Press Kit: "One key to the Challenger SRT Demon’s best-ever power output is air – the supercharged Demon V-8 takes in plenty of it. The SRT Demon’s Air-Grabber™ hood includes the largest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production car. The Air-Grabber™ hood is sealed to the air box, which is also fed from the driver-side Air-Catcher™ headlamp and an inlet near the wheel liner. Combined, those sources give the Demon V-8 an air-flow rate of 1,150 cubic feet per minute, 18 percent greater than the Hellcat V-8 and the largest air induction volume of any production car. The additional air inlets help reduce the temperature of the intake air by more than 30 degrees Fahrenheit compared with the Hellcat V-8, which improves overall throttle response. Heat is the enemy of speed at the drag strip, so Dodge//SRT engineers looked for more ways to keep the intake air as close to the optimum temperature as possible. The innovative SRT Power Chiller™ is a production car first. It diverts the air-conditioning refrigerant from the SRT Demon’s interior to a chiller unit mounted by the low-temperature circuit coolant pump. Charge air coolant, after being cooled by ambient air passing through a low-temperature radiator at the front of the vehicle, flows through the chiller unit, where it is further cooled. The chilled coolant then flows to the heat exchangers in the supercharger. Every run down the drag strip generates plenty of heat. The After-Run Chiller, a factory-production car first, helps the SRT Demon get ready for the next run as quickly as possible. When the engine is shut down, the After-Run Chiller keeps the engine cooling fan and low-temperature circuit coolant pump running to lower the supercharger/charge air cooler temperature, helping the Challenger SRT Demon minimize heat soak effects. The driver can track the supercharger coolant temperature on the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen in the instrument panel, and know in real time when the supercharger is at the optimum temperature for another run. The impact of the SRT Power Chiller™ and After-Run Chiller, combined, lowers intake air temperature by up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit." Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

The secondary forces of I4 engines are not balanced, however, reducing the overall size they can get to without the use of balancing shafts. Also, I4's have a high center of gravity. One of the interesting things about inline four cylinders is why the pairs of cylinders move in the way that they do, with the inner two pistons moving up and down together, as well as the outer two pistons moving up and down, opposite the inner cylinders. Now part of the reason this is done is because for an even firing interval, you want to fire every 180 degrees, so you need at least one cylinder at top dead center for every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation. But this flat-plane crankshaft is chose to keep the engine balanced and minimize vibration. You can see that for first order forces, the pistons moving up and down opposite one another balance each other out. That said, for secondary forces, the forces do not balance out, as they point upward at both top dead center, and bottom dead center. This tends to limit the size of inline four cylinder engines, because as they get larger and rev higher, they tend to vibrate more. This can be countered using balancing shafts, but that means a more complex engine design. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How Boxer Engines Work - 3D Printed Subaru WRX Engine Boxer-4 Model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1643878 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 What is a flat four? What is a boxer engine? This video will explain the benefits of a flat engine, specifically a flat four engine with horizontally opposed pistons. The main advantages of a boxer engine are the primary and secondary engine balance, and the very low center of gravity compared to other engines. H4 engines are one of the best engine designs, however they are more costly than the inline counterpart. The biggest advantage of the boxer engine is the low profile, which keeps the center of gravity low and thus reduces the amount of load transfer you have in the car during braking, cornering, or accelerating, which improves grip. With a lower center of gravity, you can also reduce body roll and choose to use softer springs. Additionally, in the event of a collision, it’s easier to position the engine so that it goes underneath the passenger compartment, rather than into the passenger compartment, for improved safety.

How All Four Of Subaru's AWD Systems Work What's The Best AWD System - https://youtu.be/jm-_Ncjunuc Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Subaru currently has four different AWD systems: 1. Viscous Coupling Center Differential AWD 2. Active Torque Split AWD 3. Variable Torque Distribution AWD 4. Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) AWD Descriptions Below From The Following Link: https://www.subaru.ca/WebPage.aspx?WebSiteID=282&WebPageID=5964 1. Viscous Coupling Center Differential AWD "This system is used for all models equipped with manual transmissions, excluding the WRX STI. It delivers the sporty satisfaction of quick shifts combined with an AWD system that makes the most of the available traction at all times. This system also features an efficient layout with a viscous-coupling limited slip centre differential that maintains a 50/50 front/rear torque split for optimum torque distribution, near neutral handling and surefooted performance." 2. Active Torque Split AWD "This system employs a multi-plate transfer clutch that maintains a 60/40 front/rear torque split and uses a range of sensors to automatically adjust this split on-the-fly as conditions warrant, creating more predictable handling. The system that's linked to all Subaru models (excluding WRX) equipped with the Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the Active Torque Split AWD places the focus on ease of operation, fuel efficiency and reliability." 3. Variable Torque Distribution AWD "Linked to the Sport Lineartronic® CVT and exclusive to the WRX, this AWD system delivers sportier performance and superior efficiency all at once. The centre differential adjusts front/rear torque split from 45/55 in normal conditions (for a sportier rear-biased feel) up to 50/50 when the weather worsens or the road conditions deteriorate (for maximum traction). The viscous self-locking rear differential maintains stability when more torque is sent to the rear wheels, ensuring the perfect balance of control and fun." 4. Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) AWD "As it's a purebred high-performance car, it follows that the Subaru WRX STI would feature the ultimate in high-performance AWD systems. The DCCD allows the driver to adjust the centre differential locking (through one manual and three automatic modes), varying the torque split from 41/59 front/rear to 50/50 to suit the mood and the conditions. The AWD system also includes a helical-type front differential and a TORSEN® rear differential, creating a triple-differential set-up that is completely unique in the industry."

How To Install Brake Pads & Rotors On A Honda S2000 QuickJack - https://www.quickjack.com/ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Products Used: QuickJack - http://amzn.to/2sfGmXV (5,000 lb in video) Brake Piston Tool - http://amzn.to/2tWIFMv Silicon Paste For Brake Pins - http://amzn.to/2tWbHvG Molykote M77 - http://amzn.to/2sZgNri Aluminum Anti-Sieze - http://amzn.to/2sg4Ccj Copper Anti-Sieze - http://amzn.to/2sfTxI8 Brake Pads - http://bit.ly/2tn0WFO Front Brake Rotors - http://bit.ly/2sfprEZ Rear Brake Rotors - http://amzn.to/2sZS9Xu I’ve picked out some rotors with directional vanes, rather than straight vanes, which supposedly offer better cooling as they help pump air through the brakes, which leads to less brake fade. I’ll be doing some testing to see if this is actually true in a later video. Our first step in changing out the brakes is to loosen the wheel lug nuts. Next, we need to lift the wheels off the ground. Be sure to locate the proper jacking points in your owners manual before lifting the car. With the car raised, we can remove the wheels and access the brakes.Starting at the front, first we need to remove the brake caliper to get access to the rotor. To remove the caliper piston & brake pads, there are two bolts on the backside of the caliper. Use a wrench to hold the caliper pin in place, while using a socket wrench to remove the bolts. After removing these two bolts, you can pull the caliper free - set it aside and be sure not to let it hang from the brake line. You can now also remove the two brake pads. Next, we’ll remove the caliper bracket. There are two screws to remove, and then it can be pulled free. With complete access, now we can start removing the brake rotor. Usually there are two screws which hold it in, which if they’re old will likely be rusted at this point. Using a screwdriver and a mallet or hammer, give the rusted screws several hammer taps to help disturb the rust. Then, using a screwdriver, or perhaps an impact wrench if needed, remove the two screws. If nothing seems to get them to budge, you can simply drill out the screws so they’re no longer fastening the rotor. At this point, the rotor is free to remove, but it’s likely that rust will hold it in place. There are two bolt holes to break it from the rust. Using the bolts from the caliper, screw them into the rotor, and slowly tighten each bolt, alternating back and forth, until the rotor finally breaks away. Before installing the new rotor, spray both sides with brake cleaner to remove any protective oil or residue that may be left on the surface. On the hub where the brake rotor rests, rust can build up, so I’m using a wire brush on a drill bit to remove some of the rust and clean up the hub a bit. Slide the new rotor in place, aligning the orientation with the screw holes. You can use a single lug nut to hold the rotor in place while you assemble the brake caliper. Next we’ll put the brake caliper bracket back in place using the two bolts. Honda’s torque spec for these bolts is 79.6 lb-ft. (108 N-m). With the new brake pads, Honda recommends applying Molykote M77 or Daikalub 528D to the back and sides of the backing plate, as well as on the back of the shims. If your pads came with new hardware, replace the clips in caliper bracket, and then slide the brake pads in place. Make sure not to get any grease on the rotors or pad face. Now we need to push the piston back into the caliper. Before doing so, it’s a good idea to wipe down the surface & exposed sides of the piston. Then place the old brake pad against the piston, and using a brake pad piston compressor, press the piston back into place. It shouldn’t require much effort, and once the effort gets high, the piston is likely flush with the caliper and you can stop. I bought this tool for $8 from Harbor Freight, and it works just fine. Next, be sure the brake caliper pins are lubricated and can rotate freely. It’s a good idea to inspect these and apply grease as necessary. Slide the caliper over the brake pads, and torque down the two bolts to 24 lb-ft (32 N-m). Now we can put the wheel back on, and tighten down the lug nuts. Because the car is lifted, we’ll need to wait until it’s lowered again to apply the correct torque.

Mobil 1 Annual Protection motor oil is now available at select Advance Auto Parts: http://bit.ly/2s9d2lz Sponsored by Mobil 1 Annual Protection - Learn More here: http://bit.ly/EngineeringExplained Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Mobil 1 Annual Protection is a motor oil that’s designed to last a full year, or 20,000 miles. It’s available in 0W-20, 5W-20, and 5W-30 viscosity grades. In this video we’ll be answering three questions: 1. What defines a synthetic motor oil? 2. Why is synthetic oil better than conventional? 3. What are the test results for Mobil 1 Annual Protection motor oil? AAA conducted a study that showed synthetic oils perform 47% better than conventional oils, averaged across eight different ASTM oil tests with 5W-20 motor oils. Synthetic oils have major advantages over conventional oils, including: shear stability - the ability of an oil to maintain film thickness at high temperatures, cold temperature pumpability - the ability for oil to remain thin enough to flow at extremely cold temperatures, volatility - the tendency for oil to burn off and evaporate at high temperatures, and oxidation viscosity changes - the exposure to air, heat, and pressure causes oil to thicken with time.

Volkswagen's 1.8L Turbocharged Engine Has A Water Cooled Exhaust Why VW's VR6 Engine Is Dying Off - https://youtu.be/6UZRmNXzveQ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From VW's Press Kit On The EA888 Engine: "Volkswagen has a long track record of producing small-displacement engines that achieve high levels of performance and efficiency, and the new EA888 engine is evidence of that deep experience. Like its predecessor, the engine has a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum-alloy cylinder head which now has the exhaust headers cast integrally. The cast-iron crankshaft runs in five main bearings. The twin overhead camshafts are chain driven, and there is variable cam phasing on the intake side. With a bore and stroke of 82.5 by 84.1 mm and a displacement of 1,798 cc, the 1.8T engine packs quite a punch, with peak output of 170 horsepower at 4800 to 6200 rpm, matching the horsepower rating of the larger 2.5-liter five cylinder, but delivered at 700 fewer revs. The new engine offers seven pound-feet more torque, produced at just 1500 rpm—a whopping 2750 revs less than the outgoing 2.5’s torque figure. The torque curve is strong and flat, with the peak figure being delivered from 1500 to 4750 rpm. The new engine also returns much better EPA estimated fuel economy figures than the 2.5-liter engine. While the actual fuel economy varies by model, the Jetta equipped with the 1.8T and a six-speed automatic transmission now gets 36 mpg on the highway, up from 31 mpg for the 2.5-liter engine. At the same time, the city mileage improves from 24 to 25 mpg, and the overall EPA estimated combined fuel economy is now 29 mpg compared with 26 on the outgoing five cylinder. As well as offering better fuel economy, the new engine’s additional low-speed torque has enhanced the performance of the cars fitted with the engine: the manual transmission Jetta 1.8T now goes from 0 to 60 mph in a manufacturer estimated 7.3 seconds, an improvement of 0.7 seconds over the 2.5-liter model. One of the keys to this improved performance and fuel economy is the reduction of internal friction. Several innovations contributed to this reduction including; the use of a new piston coating; the two balance shafts that counteract the second-order inertial forces run in roller bearings; utilizing a low-energy oil pump; and using a highly precise electric system to control the oil-jet cooling for the piston crowns. Turbocharger and Direct Injection Improvements The turbocharger in the EA888 is an all-new design that develops a relatively high boost pressure of up to 19 psi (1.3 bar). Key features of the turbocharger include; a turbine wheel made from a new alloy that can withstand exhaust temperatures of up to 1796 degrees Fahrenheit; a pulsation damper; the addition of an oxygen sensor mounted directly upstream of the turbine wheel; use of a compressor wheel machined from solid; and a new electric wastegate actuator that adjusts the boost pressure, when power is not needed, to help reduce fuel consumption. Thermal Management Thermal management is key to helping ensure maximum efficiency. The thermostat keeps coolant temperature between 185 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit, influenced by load and engine speed, to achieve the ideal balance between minimal internal friction and temperature management. By directing exhaust gases through the water-cooled exhaust manifold, they are approximately 160 degrees cooler by the time they reach the turbocharger. Under full load, heat is significantly reduced thanks to the integrated cylinder head and water-cooled exhaust manifold. This new design eliminates the need to enrich the air/fuel mixture under full load, resulting in a reduction in fuel consumption of approximately 20 percent when driving at highway speeds."

The new Civic Si also benefits from the extensive remake of the 10th-generation Civic platform – which was benchmarked against luxury C-class competitors for ride, handling, steering precision and high-speed stability – and are further enhanced by Si-exclusive chassis tuning and engineering and Si-exclusive performance bits, including a helical limited-slip differential and new Adaptive Damper System and variable-ratio electric power steering. The upgraded performance capabilities of Si are matched by extensive exterior and interior upgrades that strongly distinguish Si from its more mainstream Sedan and Coupe counterparts."

Driving 17 Cars Around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca! Lexus LC500 vs Lexus GS F - https://youtu.be/Ge6wL5SiFt0 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Gear Used For GPS & Data Overlay: Vbox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 Sound Recorder - http://amzn.to/2A2XLn9 My most enjoyable drive of the day was in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Of all the cars I drove, it was easily one of the most balanced, inspiring great confidence at nearly any speed. Under the hood is a twin-turbo 2.9 liter 90 degree V6 engine producing 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, a potent 175 hp per liter. But it wasn’t the most powerful car here, and it certainly wasn’t the lightest car here; in fact, Alfa doesn’t even list the weight of the car in their press kits, though Motor Trend weighed one in around 3,800 pounds. Even with the weight, it was my fastest lap around the raceway, for which I purely attribute its balance and predictability to provide confidence for even a novice driver such as myself. In second place we’re in the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, Mazda’s latest hard top convertible MX-5. This is the club version, with an LSD and manual transmission. The RF adds a little over 100 pounds of additional weight, though dynamically it feels very similar to the soft top. The weight distribution is a perfect 50/50 split without a driver in the seat, with the weight shifted slightly back from the soft top. The car is an absolute joy to drive, with near perfect predictability, and a highly approachable limit. If you decide to push the car too hard, letting off the throttle or brakes and a minor steering correction puts you right back on pace. 3rd & 4th cars, the Subaru BRZ and the Toyota 86 twins. Both have a very similar dynamic feel to the MX-5, very balanced and predictable, easy to push hard, with just a bit more heft to pull around the track. While the tires aren’t particularly graceful on a track - they like to oversteer - it’s an insanely fun car to drive hard as it rewards drivers of all abilities to find the car’s limits. But perhaps the best thing about the 86/BRZ duo is the steering feel. On track, the tight steering ratio rewards those who drive with precision, and prevents your arms from crossing over in tight turns. For a modern vehicle, it provides some of the most valuable feedback through the steering wheel to your arms, and is part of what makes this car so easy and enjoyable to drive hard. Having driven the Jaguar F-Type SVR on the road, it is absolutely one of the most thrilling vehicles I’ve ever been in. That’s why I was a bit surprised to not have quite the same feeling about it while driving it on the track. It’s not that it’s not fun, it definitely is, but it’s not the most well behaved vehicle on the track, which is part of what I found exciting about it on the road. The balance is a bit twitchy, with the rear end never fully committed to a corner, even with all wheel drive. On top of which, if you’re too quick with your throttle application, the shock load of acceleration bounces up and down the driveline, kinda similar to driving a manual transmission car in first gear at super low speeds, and letting on and off the throttle, just not quite as exaggerated. The Dodge Challenger T/A 392, on the other hand, was surprisingly impressive. Every time I enter one of these cars, and I’ve driven numerous, I’m always expecting it to behave like a boat, the way the specs make it seem it will. And yet every time I exit the car feeling quite impressed by how well behaved it is. With a 485 horsepower 6.4L V8 engine, six-piston brembos up front and four piston Brembo’s in the rear, a revised suspension geometry and 275 mm wide Pirelli performance tires, the car is actually quite at home lapping around a circuit. It was my third fastest around the track for the day, and had me grinning as I rolled back into the staging area.

How Did A Pickup Truck Brake Faster Than A Mini Cooper? Vbox Sport (Test Equipment Used) - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 In my testing conducted at The Ridge during a NWAPA Mudfest media day, the Nissan Titan braked from 60 mph to 0 mph in 132.9 feet, while the Mini Cooper Countryman braked from 60 mph to 0 in 134.1 feet. So how did a truck weight over 2,000 lbs heavier than the Mini Cooper brake faster? This video will discuss brakes, ABS systems, tires, and the many variables at play to determine whether the information is accurate, and if it is accurate, why the results are the way they are.

Amateur Alfa Romeo Giulia Driver vs Pro Acura NSX Driver Vbox Sport Data Logger - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Product Links: Vbox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 Comparing a professional driver in an Acura NSX, to a complete amateur, myself, driving the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio; my first day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. There is a performance gap between the two cars, but there's also a huge performance gap between the two drivers. The NSX driver is also held up by a bit of traffic at the beginning, and I’m riding shotgun with him, so he’s got some additional weight as well. You can see once the NSX gets out of the traffic, however, I’m completely left behind. Analyzing these videos side by side, it’s easy for me to see three major areas that allows the professional driver to destroy my pace. First off all, the pro does a nice job of using the entire track. I occasionally do well at hitting the apex, but tend to not bring the car out wide and make use of all of the space available. Second, I brake way, way too early. Part of this was intentional. This event was designed to evaluate cars, not set the fastest lap times, so I was super conservative with braking to make sure I didn’t run into any scary situations. But there is also a part where I’m simply not confident enough to brake later, as the pro driver does very well. Third, I don’t carry enough speed in the corners, that is to say, not only do I brake too early, but I brake way too much. Now this again is a confidence thing, and I don’t want to end up off the track and find myself banned from the event, so I played it safe. That said, the professional driver is also playing it safe, for his own limits, and still absolutely crushing my pace.

The car is beautiful, and sounds beautiful, but on the very first corner I took it out on the track, the balance felt off. 2018 Lexus LC500 Review vs 2017 Lexus GS F Review. I drove the GS F immediately after driving the LC500, and felt a big surge of confidence. Having taken both vehicles around the circuit back-to-back, it was easy to compare them directly. My two lap times in the Lexus LC500 were a minute 59.84, and 2 minutes point one five. My two laps in the GS F were 1:58.52, and 1:55.52, both of which confirming my suspicion that the GS F felt more planted, better balanced, and as a result allowed for more confident, quicker driving. Looking at the speed data, my cornering speed was higher in the GS F for nearly every bend. Both vehicles use Lexus’s 5.0 Liter naturally aspirated 90 degree V8. In the GS F, it’s producing 467 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque. In the LC500, it’s producing slightly more of each, 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft. The LC500 has a 10 speed automatic, where the GS F has an 8 speed. The GS F weighs in at 4,034 lbs, while the LC500 weighs almost an additional 250 pounds at 4,280! The GS F has larger front tires, and significantly larger front and rear brakes. The GS F also has a better weight distribution, and comes standard with a torque vectoring rear differential. The LC500, on the other hand, comes standard with an open differential, with the option to add a Torsen LSD. To the LC’s credit, it does manage a just slightly quicker 0-60 time, for which the additional torque, and superior transmission play their part.

The Lamborghini Huracán Smashed The Nürburgring Record Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 From Lamborghini's Press Release On ALA: "The Huracán Performante adopts Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA): ALA is also the Italian word for wing. This patented active aerodynamic system developed by Lamborghini for the Huracán Performante provides an active variation of aero load for high down force or low drag. The system is completely integrated into the vehicle in terms of design, weight and performance. The front spoiler integrates the electric motor of the front ALA system, built in a carbon forged frame with active flaps on the top exterior surface. The rear bonnet is designed around the air ducts to the rear wing as well as the wing pylons. Lamborghini’s Piattaforma Inerziale (LPI) governs all the car’s electronic systems in ‘real time’ and is perfectly integrated with the ALA system, activating the ALA system flaps in less than 500 milliseconds to ensure the best aerodynamic set-up of the car in every driving condition. When ALA is off, the active flaps inside the front spoiler are closed, generating the desired high downforce for high speed cornering and full brake conditions. When ALA switches to on the front flaps are opened by the front electric motor, reducing air pressure on the front spoiler and directing air flow via an inner channel and through the specially shaped underside of the car. This drastically reduces drag and optimizes conditions for maximum acceleration and top speed. In the rear of the Performante four ducts are installed below the rear bonnet. The two central ducts are always open to allow underhood ventilation and exhaust cooling, while the two external ducts are connected to the inner channels of the rear wing. The air flow through the rear wing channels is controlled by two electro-actuated flaps. The entire system is 80% lighter than a traditional hydraulic system. When ALA is off the rear flaps are closed, permitting the rear wing to act as a traditional fixed wing. Stability is enhanced in high speed cornering and full braking by creating maximum vertical downforce; 750% more than a Huracán coupé. The LPI turns on the ALA in high throttle conditions, opening the rear flaps to allow air through the rear wing’s inner channels and directing air flow through ridges underneath the wing. This reduces drag and maximizes the car’s acceleration and top speed capabilities. In addition, the rear wing’s inner air channel is split right and left, allowing aero vectoring for high speed cornering. Depending on the direction of the turn, the LPI instructs ALA to be switched on in either the right or left side of the spoiler, increasing downforce and traction on the inner wheel, counteracting the load transfer in rolling conditions. This in turn optimizes the chassis’ momentum, requiring a reduced steering angle and improving the car’s overall dynamic stability." Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How Do Soft Winter Tires Perform In Summer Temperatures? RaceLogic VBox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 What happens if you run soft, sticky winter tires in the summer time? Will the soft compound perform better than all-season or summer tires, but simply wear faster, or will it wear faster and have less grip? To find out, I'm testing my Crosstrek on the same road, with two sets of new tires. One set are winter tires: Bridgestone Blizzak WS80. The other set are all-season tires: Yokohama Geolandar G95. The two tires have the same size, recommended tire pressure, and are tested at the exact same ambient temperature: 63 degrees F. The vehicle tested is a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. The Yokohamas are the OEM tire fitted to the car. I run the Bridgestone Blizzaks in the winter for optimum traction in snow and ice, common for my location.

How To Correct A Speedometer - Honda S2000 - Speedo Corrector RaceLogic VBox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Product Links: Vbox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Yellow Box - http://yellr.com/ Fixing the speedometer on my Honda S2000, which as you can see clearly reads too high. While traveling at a GPS verified speed of about 80 to 81 miles per hour, you can see the car’s speedometer is reading 87 miles per hour, significantly higher than the actual speed. This is a result of changing the final drive gearing in my S2000, but you could also have a speedometer reading incorrectly from putting on different tires or wheel sizes. To correct this, first you need to know how much your speedometer is off by. You want to travel at the highest legal speed you can near you, so that you can have an accurate percentage difference. In my case, driving at about 81 miles per hour shows a speed of 87 mph, so my car is reading about 7.4% high. Next I’ve purchased a Yellow Box correction kit. These can be used for many different makes and models of vehicles, simply splicing into the speed signal wire, or by using a plug and play kit they provide, also available for many different brands. The first thing we need to do for the install is lift the front of the car up onto jack stands. The speed sensor for the speedometer is on the transmission for the S2000, so we’ll need access to it. Once underneath the car, unplug the sensor from the transmission, and plug in the new harness. There will be plenty of wire length for the Yellow Box to plug in, so at this point I pulled the connector out from under the vehicle to program it. Then plug in the Yellow Box. Turn your ignition to accessory mode, and you should see some lights flashing on the Yellow Box. Once powered, the box will tell you what the current correction factor is, by flashing the red light. Short flashes represent a count of one each, and long flashes represent zero. In this case we have 1 flash, then four long flashes, meaning 1 0 0 0 0, or 100.00% correction factor. My S2000 is reading about 7.4% high, so we want a correction factor of 107.40%. To program the box, hold both buttons for about 5 seconds, until both green and red lights flash. Now, by pressing the plus button, the correction factor will go up by 0.1 percent. Pressing the plus button 74 times will give us our 107.4% correction factor. You can also hold the button to speed this up. After you’ve programmed it, wait for both lights to flash. This informs you the setting has been saved. Turn the car ignition off, and then turn it back on to check that the setting is correct. Once powered, the device automatically reads the current setting to you. I’m simply choosing to zip-tie the Yellow Box for now, directly beside the transmission housing. The device comes with a 10 year warranty and is weatherproof, heatproof, and vibration proof, but make sure you don’t place it near your exhaust or extreme heat sources. With the device in place, it’s time for a test drive. As you can see the car now reads much closer to the actual speed, and is reading just slightly conservatively high, which I’m fine with. You could choose to fine tune at this point if you prefer.

The titanium/inconel exhaust gets its deep dramatic sound through several tuning measures, but there is an active bypass valve that redirects exhaust flow through a more direct path out, reducing the muffling. Fuel can also be injected into the exhaust to allow the iconic crackles and pops from the tailpipes. Overall, the near perfect throttle response of the 5.0L supercharged V8, matches with the beastly roar from the exhaust amounts to an unbelievably joyful drive.

What Are The Benefits Of A Disconnecting Sway Bar? How Anti-Roll Bars Work - https://youtu.be/_liGnV3PTiQ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How do electronic disconnecting sway bars work? One of the balances engineers have to address when designing an off-road truck is the amount of axle articulation allowed, versus the amount of body roll allowed. A stiff suspension means little body roll, but not enough axle articulation. A soft suspension allows for greater articulation of the axle, meaning more contact with the ground, but significantly more body roll. This can be addressed with an electronically controlled disconnecting sway bar for the front axle. At low speeds, with the sway bar disconnected, this allows for significantly more twist of the front axle, without the rear tire coming off the ground. With the Ram Power Wagon shown in this video, decoupling the sway bar allows for a total difference of 26 inches of vertical travel between the center of each of the front wheels. This changes the RTI, Ramp Travel Index, from 423 to 510. At speeds above 18 miles per hour, the sway bar automatically reconnects to decrease body roll, though you can select to turn it on or off below this speed.

Disconnect the lower control arm by removing the lower ball joint. 6. Remove the ABS sensor harness by removing two bolts from the upper arm. Repeat these steps to remove the ball joint and ABS sensor for both sides of the vehicle. 7. Remove the differential joints for each side. There are six mounting bolts and nuts to remove, and then you can remove the joint from the differential. This requires pulling the half shaft away from the differential to clear the internal rod. 8. Remove the EVAP canister cover by removing the single bolt holding it in place. 9. Place a floor jack underneath the differential. A transmission jack is ideal, especially if you’re doing this by yourself, as you want to have a large platform to hold the differential. 11. Starting from the rear of the differential, remove each of the four mounting nuts from the mounting bracket. Then remove the four bolts holding the front mounts in place. 12. Hang the Evap canister out of the way of the differential. There’s a single bolt hold it on, and then a bracket to slip it off and allow it to hang freely. 13. Pull the differential towards the front of the car, which will clear the rear mounting bolts from the mounting bracket. Then lower the differential to the ground using a jack. 14. At this point, I replaced the differential mounts at this point. 15. Fill the differential with the recommended oil. 16. Put the studs into the differential. Mount the front differential bracket onto the new differential. There are four bolts used, each torqued to 47 lb-ft. 17. Using a floor jack, lift the differential back up into the vehicle, and slide it into the rear differential mount. Then install the front mounts; torque to spec. 18. With the front mounting bracket on, there are two nuts and washers that need to be installed and torqued to 47 lb-ft. 19. Replace the EVAP canister, and the single bolt holding it in. Then reinstall the canister cover, tightening the single screw to 7.2 lb-ft. 20. Install the axle half shafts to the differential. Using new hardware, install the twelve nuts and bolts to each side of the differential. 21. For each rear suspension, reinstall the ball joints by torquing the castle nut down to 51 to 58 lb-ft. Slip the cotter pin through the ball joint bolt, and then bend the cotter pin to prevent it from falling out. 22. Reinstall the ABS sensor harness by torquing the two screws to 7.2 lb-ft. 23. Install the prop shaft back to the differential. There are three spacers to be used. The six bolts needs to be torqued to 24 lb-ft. 24. Remount the exhaust, making sure all five hangers are used, and tighten the nuts to the catalytic converter to 25 lb-ft. 25. Finally, install the rear suspension stiffener. 26. Put the wheels back on and lower the car.

How The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Hits 60 MPH In 2.3 sec. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the world's fastest quarter mile production car. But how does it do that? How does it hit 1.8 g's of acceleration when powered by only the rear wheels? Rear wheel drive!? Physics tells us that the maximum force a wheel can apply to the ground is equal to the normal force acting on the tire multiplied by the frictional coefficient of the tire (F=u*N). So the car needs to be able to transfer all the weight to the rear tires, and have super stick tires. This video explains how the vehicle does just that! *IMPORTANT CORRECTION!* The 2.3 second 0-60 time is indeed from 0 mph, not after 1 ft of rollout. This is faster than the Tesla P100D to 30 mph (incorrectly stated in video). My apologies for the confusion. When I asked Dodge PR directly about the car, they told me this: ""The Demon 0-30, 0-60 and 0-100 times do NOT include the 1 ft of roll out." I interpreted this as the times did not include the time for 1 foot of rollout, however from Detroit News: "Roll-outs aren’t a fair way to do zero-60, honestly. A real zero-60 is from a dead stop. But we included (a roll-out) anyway because we knew that question would come up,” said Kuniskis in the Big Apple. “You include roll-outs in our times and it’s 2.1 seconds.” From The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Press Release: "- 840 horsepower and 770 pounds-feet of torque from supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Demon V-8 engine makes Dodge Challenger SRT Demon the most-powerful muscle car ever - Highest horsepower V-8 production car engine ever produced - First-ever front-wheel lift in production car (2.92 feet) as certified by Guinness World Records - World’s fastest quarter-mile production car with an elapsed time (ET) of 9.65 seconds and 140 miles per hour (mph) as certified by National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) - Challenger SRT Demon is too fast for the drag strip – officially banned by NHRA - World’s fastest 0-60 production car: 2.3 seconds - 0-30 miles per hour: 1.0 second - Highest g-force acceleration of any production car: 1.8 g - Air-Grabber™ induction system includes the largest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production car - Significant upgrades to create the Demon engine include: - Larger 2.7-liter per rev supercharger; increased boost pressure to 14.5 psi - Higher rpm limit of 6,500 - First-ever factory-production car with innovative SRT Power Chiller™ liquid-to-air intercooler chiller system - First factory-production car with After-Run Chiller that keeps cooling the supercharger/charge air cooler after the engine is shut off - First-ever, factory-production car designed to run on 100+ high-octane unleaded fuel or 91 octane on demand - First-ever, factory-production car with TransBrake for more powerful and quicker launches - First-ever, factory-production drag car with Torque Reserve, to deliver increased levels of power and torque at launch - First-ever, factory-production car with front passenger seat delete - Exclusive, serialized Demon Crate offers components that fully unleash the car’s potential at the drag strip - Challenger SRT Demon is covered by FCA US LLC factory warranty, including three-year/36,000-mile limited vehicle warranty and five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain coverage - Production of limited-edition single model year (3,000 United States/300 Canada) Challenger SRT Demon begins later this summer; deliveries to Dodge//SRT dealers to begin this fall - All customers who buy the new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon receive one full-day session at Bob Bondurant School of High-performance Driving."

How Hot Does Your Car Exhaust Get? FLIR One Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Products Used For This Video: FLIR T1K Camera - http://amzn.to/2mgV8XS Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 In this video we are discussing exhausts, and particularly we’re checking out the exhaust of my Honda S2000 after a cold start. Once the engine turns on, you can see the exhaust manifold immediately heats up, represented by point number two which is just before entering the catalytic converter. A short duration passes where it seems like the catalytic converter takes in all of the exhaust heat, and then the piping exiting the cat begins to quickly heat, represented by point number 3. Point number 1 is the heat shield surrounding the converter, which in hindsight should have been removed, however you can still see the cat through the cracks, and as you’ll see later on in the video, the secondary oxygen sensor becomes one of the hottest points on screen. Catalytic converters are used to turn nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons into less harmful gases. The idea is that for the various molecules that enter the cat, upon exit you simply have nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. For the exact details, see my video on how catalytic converters work, but know that as these chemical reactions occur, they create heat. Additionally, any unburnt fuel will burn in the oxidation stage of the catalytic converters. When your car first starts it tends to run rich to help promote fuel atomization, however by running rich it also causes a burden on the catalytic converter, and can cause it to get very hot. The converter isn’t effective until it reaches a certain temperature. Below about 400 degrees Celsius, the proper chemical reactions won’t occur. The systems are designed to operate at temperatures as high as 1000 degrees, however at this point the reactions are less efficient, and if the cat starts to get much hotter, it can begin to melt and permanently fail. It’s important to note that the exhaust gas temperatures are hotter than the exhaust pipes we’re viewing. It is interesting to see how large of a temperature drop occurs upon entering and exiting the cat. After about four minutes of running, there’s well over a 50 degree difference. Looking at the split as the exhaust divides between the two rear mufflers, it’s interesting to see that the heat distribution, and thus the exhaust distribution, does seem quite even, with the right exhaust pipe seeing temperatures just slightly higher than the left. The mufflers themselves remain moderately cool relative to the rest of the system, certainly helped by the large surface area and cool ambient temperatures. While the exhaust gases exiting still have high temperatures, the very tips of the tailpipes themselves, as you may expect, remain the coolest portion of the exhaust. Now looking back at the exhaust header and cat, you can see the O2 sensor has now become one of the hottest spots, indicating the heat generated by the cat, reaching over 180 degrees Celsius. What happens as we rev up the engine? The exhaust manifold quickly heats, reaching temperatures of 210 Celsius in less than 30 seconds. Observing the engine, you can see the exhaust and engine heat shield actually does a fantastic job of protecting electrical components from excessive heat.

Swapping Tires On My Honda S2000 Yields Incredible Results RaceLogic VBox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Product Links: Bridgestone RE-71R - http://amzn.to/2odGdRf Vbox Sport - http://amzn.to/2nPBBwX Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 I swap the undersized, out of alignment, mismatched, cheap Fuzion VRI and HRI tires on my S2000 for all new Bridgestone RE-71R tires. To prove whether or not changing the tires makes a significant difference for my vehicle's handling, I analyze braking behavior (stopping time, distance, and peak g-forces), using the RaceLogic Vbox Sport (link above). The results are extremely impressive. While the Fuzion tires get worse with ever brake test, as they begin to heat up. The RE-71R tires, however, get better with every test. The difference in braking distance before and after the tire swap literally takes my car from behaving like a Cadillac Escalade, to an Alfa Romeo 4C. Quite the jump!

What happens if your car runs out of engine oil? Watching Cars Warm Up In Infrared - https://youtu.be/n_CQzBc6GbM Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Watch A Mercedes Run With No Oil On A Track (Car Throttle) https://youtu.be/CfipRXooCTM Products Used: FLIR T1K Camera - http://amzn.to/2mgV8XS Affordable Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh in this video we’re going to be discussing what happens when an engine has no oil. As a demonstration, we’ll be viewing an engine with and without oil running. This is the exact same engine on the left and the right, on the left with oil, and on the right without. Both engines will start at the exact same time, but the video on the right was filmed 24 hours after the video on the left, allowing for the engine to completely cool. This is a 212 cc air-cooled single-cylinder Harbor Freight engine. There are five points we’re monitoring on each engine. Point one is the crankcase, below the level at which oil will rest. Point two is the top of the crankcase, where there obviously won’t be any oil resting near. Point three is the air-cooled cylinder bore. Point four is the exhaust pipe exiting the cylinder before entering the muffler, and point 5 is the valve cover. This is a pushrod style valve train with overhead valves. Opening the crankcase reveals the permanent damage which occurred. First of all, look at the small amount of oil that didn’t quite make it out while draining. It’s quite dark, and this is after a 15 minute run with oil, and 15 minutes without, in a brand new engine. The oil which remained in the drained engine is clearly quite dirty, and actually it has quite a bit of metal content in it, as you can see reflecting as I move around the towel. Examining further, I removed the connecting rod cap from the crankshaft. This is the bearing the crank rotates on. You can see the scored, less reflective surface of the cap. Indeed, you can see the scratches on the crankshaft as well. I would expect to see similar issues with the camshaft and cylinder bore as well.

Why The Koenigsegg Regera Only Needs One Gear Ratio Koenigsegg Regera No Trans Part 1 - https://youtu.be/wYvIY6lBTjY Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The original video (link above) is partially incorrect. It is not correct to add resistance to the normal force on the rear tires to determine if the wheels can spin. A vehicle sitting stationary in strong headwind could still do a burnout (assuming the headwind doesn't create a bunch of downforce). The only thing that matters for spinning tires is whether or not you can exceed F = u*N (the maximum force the tires can apply, based on available traction). N, however, gets a bit complicated, and is dependent on at least four factors: 1. Weight distribution. 2. Load transfer due to acceleration. 3. Downforce on the car. 4. Load transfer due to wind resistance. Ignoring aerodynamics, the vehicle needs to exceed a rear wheel force of 2368.7 lbs (10.54 kN) to spin the tires, regardless of vehicle speed. Because the engine alone can create 90% of this force at 100% throttle at 5300 RPM (engine speed at 160 mph), adding in electric motors will be more than enough to spin the tires at 160 mph, even accounting for downforce. The difference turns out to be about 1%, but it's important that the conclusion is reached using the correct logic. Why would Koenigsegg produce a vehicle without a transmission? Aside from the efficiency and weight benefits of having no transmission, the Regera can actually spin it's tires when traveling as fast as 160-170 mph, meaning that any more aggressive gearing would provide no better acceleration for speeds up to about 170 miles per hour. Put simply, it has so much torque that aggressive gearing isn't needed, and this video has the math to prove it. The Koenigsegg Regera features a 5.0L V8 producing 1,100 horsepower, and three electric motors producing an additional 700 HP. Combined, the HP curves allow for a peak of 1,500 HP.

How To Do A Burnout With A Manual Transmission Huge Honda S2000 Burnout - https://youtu.be/MJ1NK02CL6g Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Special Thanks To: Braden Carlson - https://goo.gl/WYoLG6 Last Place Garage - https://goo.gl/iKZhFN Products Used: FLIR T1K Camera - http://amzn.to/2mgV8XS Affordable Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 Warning - The process of doing a burnout could cause your car to explode into a thousand pieces. To be safe, you should never do one. The process of doing a burnout is fairly straight forward. For an automatic transmission, mash both pedals. For a manual, press in the clutch, put the car in first gear, rev up the engine, dump the clutch, and immediately position your left foot onto the brake to hold the car in place. It takes practice to know what RPM the engine should start at, and also modulating the throttle and brake to hold the car in place. How quickly do tires cool after a burnout? After a 40 second burnout, the tires are roasting over 160 degrees Celsius. The tires do cool off fairly quickly however. At 45 seconds after the burnout, temperatures have dropped to 125 Celsius. By a minute, the left tire is just over 100 Celsius. At a minute and 45 seconds, we’re down to about 90, and by two minutes, portions of the tire have dropped below 80 C.

How Hot Do Your Brake Rotors And Pads Get? 300 Degree C Brakes From Burnout - https://youtu.be/MJ1NK02CL6g Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Products Used: FLIR T1K Camera - http://amzn.to/2mgV8XS Affordable Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh In this video we are checking out the rear disc brakes of a Honda S2000 using a Flir T1K thermal camera. I’ve got the rear of the car up on jack stands, and I’ll be turning the car on, placing it in first gear, and running the rear wheels to observe the amount of heat generated by the rear brakes. We’ve got five data points to observe while the disc is heating up. Point 1 is the leading edge of the brake pad. Point 2 is the brake rotor before the brake pad, point 3 is the brake rotor after passing through the brake caliper, point 4 is the wheel hub, and point 5 is the back of the brake pad. Eventually I’ll be pulling the hand brake, but to start off you can see that as the brake disc rotates, a portion of it is slightly hotter than the rest. It’s important to note that this camera is extremely sensitive to temperature variations, so even a slightly warped rotor, or a rotor with just slightly varying thickness, will easily show up based on the temperature differential. I can’t feel any vibration form the rotor while driving, but it’s cool that this is something you can visualize with a thermal camera. Revving up the engine, there are currently no brakes applied. Now I’ll continue to rev the engine, and at this point I am lightly applying the rear parking brake, and temperatures are beginning to slowly rise. It is interesting to see that the point after passing through the brake pad is indeed a bit hotter than the point before entering the brake pad, even though the time duration from point to point is so small. Revving the engine at about 3000 RPM and simultaneously pulling the handbrake, we can see temperatures as high as 138 degrees. It’s also pretty neat to see the interaction at the very front of the brake pad. It seems that while the surface of the brake pad gets super hot, that heat hasn’t yet passed though the depth of the pad entirely. Brake rotors and pads in street use typically won’t see temperatures exceeding about 200 degrees Celsius, however on track days where the brakes are continuously burdened, temperatures can exceed 500 degrees, or about a 1000 Fahrenheit, pretty easily. The brake fluid itself can also get hot, which is why DOT 3 & 4 brake fluids are designed to have a boiling point over 200 Celsius. This number will drastically reduce, however, as the brake fluid ages and ingests water. Brake systems are not perfectly air tight, and brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the air. This is why it’s important to change your brake fluid every few years, especially if you track your car, to ensure the fluid never reaches its boiling point and you experience significant brake fade. You can also see on this vehicle, even after the brake rotors reached temperatures well over 100 Celsius, that the brake line itself is actually quite cool. What’s more critical, however, is that the brake fluid within the caliper and actuating the caliper piston remains below its boiling point. It’s also interesting to see that it seems wheels can act as a heat sink for your brakes, as the heat from your brakes passes to your wheels, and then to the ambient air as the wheel spins. It would certainly be interesting to see if certain wheel materials, whether steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber, would allow for better braking performance as a result of improved cooling of the rotors.

Flir One Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Products Used: FLIR T1K Camera - http://amzn.to/2mgV8XS Temperature Datalogger - http://amzn.to/2n3NPDe Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 In this video we’re checking out a burnout with a Honda S2000 and a Flir T1K thermal camera. It’s pretty mesmerizing to watch, as the tread surface of the tire raises from about 19 degrees Celsius to over 160 degrees in less than five seconds. Shout out to Braden Carlson for the epic burnout while I filmed! His channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8agwGsx8arC9URdrgCY6cw You can see the heat the tires lay down onto the ground with perfect lines for the tire grooves. The tires themselves are spitting out bits of melted rubber which coats the ground, rear fender, and inside the wheel wells. I decided to change the tire pressure left to right to see if there were any differences. The right tire has a pressure of 27 psi, 5 below recommended, while the left tire is at 37 psi, 5 above recommended. Ultimately, it made very little difference as both tires were evenly melted across the tread pattern. There’s simply too much friction for too long to notice a significant difference. If we analyze the burnout at a much lower frame rate from the very beginning, we can see that on the under-inflated tire, the left portion of the tire heats up first. This is actually because the rear tire is out of alignment, and has excessive negative cambers, so the load on the tire rests primarily on the inside. If the tire were to have the correct factory alignment, the heating would occur much more evenly. The tire surface temperature, in just four frames, less than 1/7th of a second, increases from 19 celsius to 43.5. In less than two seconds, the surface temperature of the inside of the tire reaches 160 degrees, or about 320 degrees Fahrenheit, and by five seconds, the entire tread is roasting above 160. After the burnout, you can see the garage floor covered in hot rubber, and the rear brakes have heated to over 300 degrees Celsius or about 600 Fahrenheit. The rotors even got a bit of color from getting so hot. The tires themselves have now turned into a pile of debris. It’s time for newer, nicer, wider rubber.

Watching Cold Engines Warm Up With A Thermal Camera Flir One Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh Full Unedited 15 Minute Warm Up - https://youtu.be/W6_lv2UNQAg Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Products Used: FLIR T1K Camera - http://amzn.to/2mgV8XS Temperature Datalogger - http://amzn.to/2n3NPDe Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 Watching two different engines warm up using a $40,000 Flir T1K thermal camera. The cold starts we’ll be observing include a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek on the left, which has a 2 liter boxer four-cylinder engine, and a 2002 Honda S2000 on the right, which has a 2 liter inline-four cylinder engine. All of the temperature data points, one through five, represent the exact same thing for each vehicle, measured in Celsius. Point one is the exterior temperature of the oil filter, point 2 is the heater core coolant line, point three is the top radiator hose, point four is the front of the engine block, and point five is the intake manifold, before the air is distributed to each of the cylinders. Both of the engines start at the exact same time, so you can compare these figures directly based on the time stamp shown on screen. On the right of each of the thermal images is a sliding scale, which adapts to the image and shows the temperature range on screen. The bottom number, in Celsius, and wherever there are dark spots, represents the coldest area. The top number, and wherever there are white spots, represents the hottest area. Beneath their respective videos, we also have the air intake temperature, coolant temperature, and engine RPM read directly from the vehicle. For the duration of the video, the temperature of the ambient air around the car remained at about 7 degrees Celsius. Finally, I’ve added a plot in the bottom right corner showing oil temperature with respect to time. This temperature comes from a thermal probe inserted down each of the vehicles dipstick tubes. By this point, you can start to see that the intake manifold temperatures, point number 5, differ for each. The Crosstrek has a plastic manifold, elevated away from the engine, which does a better job of keeping intake temperatures down versus the aluminum manifold of the Honda, which is tucked within the engine bay and close to heat sources. By the end of the video, the Subaru has over a 20 degree advantage in intake temperatures versus the Honda, and yes, both of them are still pulling in the exact same 7 degree ambient air. EMISSIVITY NOTE: For anyone concerned about emissivity and the temperatures you're witnessing, I just did a quick test in my kitchen to verify the temps we're seeing. I took a sheet of paper (emissivity ~0.9+) and a sheet of aluminum foil (emissivity ~0.05), while the camera was set for an emissivity of 0.95. The camera accurately read the temperature of both items (about 20 deg C). Then I switched the camera's emissivity to 0.04. The aluminum foil's temp then varied widely, from 0 deg C to 50 deg C (it was still at 20 deg C, the temperature inside my home), while the sheet of paper now incorrectly read 30 deg C. To me, this shows that with the camera set at 0.95 for emissivity, readings will be accurate, and it has a way of calibrating for various emissivity coefficients of what's in view. This video was recorded with emissivity set at 0.95.

How Much Air Does A Car Engine Use? Exhaust Balloons Don't Try It Yourself - http://amzn.to/2l9v6bQ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 In this video we’re determining how much air an engine consumes, and as a visual aid to demonstrate this, I’ve attached two balloons to the exhaust of my Honda S2000, to show how much air is passing through the engine. The balloon has slightly higher than atmospheric pressure inside of it. That’s all it takes for it to inflate. If you think about it, you can inflate this balloon with your lungs, so to me it seems silly to think that a 240 HP air compressor couldn’t do the same, very easily, and with no ill effects. Now I’m not saying I’d recommend anyone try this, but the back pressure caused by the balloon is extremely minimal, and it’s a great visual aid to show us the volume of air an engine spits out while running. Calculating the amount of air an engine consumes at wide open throttle is fairly straight forward, with a few basic assumptions. We’re going to assume the engine has a volumetric efficiency of 100%, meaning that at wide open throttle, the engine is able to completely fill the cylinder with atmospheric air. Let’s use this Honda S2000 as an example, which has a 2.0L engine and a rev limiter at 9,000 RPM. Since this is a four stroke engine, we know that for every two crankshaft revolutions there will be one intake stroke for each cylinder. So for our engine at the rev limiter at wide open throttle, we can calculate the flow rate of air through the engine as 2 Liters, multiplied by 9000 RPM, divided by 2. This gives us 9,000 liters per minute, or 9 cubic meters per minute. If we have a two car garage, six meters wide by six meters deep, by three meters high, this would give us a volume of 108 cubic meters. 108 cubic meters divided by our volumetric flow rate of 9 meters per minute, would mean it would take 12 minutes for all of the air in a garage of this size to pass through the Honda, assuming it were at wide open throttle at the rev-limit. Compare this to the latest and greatest, the new Bugatti Chiron with it’s 8 liter 16-cylinder engine will ingest as much as 60,000 liters per minute at full tilt. In other words, it could swallow up your entire garage in less than two minutes. Now judging by the rate at which these balloons are inflating, you can see that the air flow rate is much slower than at wide open throttle. With the throttle closed, there’s a vacuum within the cylinder, so the volumetric efficiency is much less than 100%. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

The McLaren 12C's Suspension Doesn't Need An Anti-Roll Bar Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 McLaren's suspension uses a system of hydraulic cylinders, pistons, fluid, and roll accumulators in place of a traditional shock absorber and roll bar. Flow restrictors on the exits of the hydraulic cylinders control the amount of damping, while roll accumulators have adjustable pressure and can alter the amount of roll allowed.

Top 5 Features For The Ultimate Off-Road 4X4 Vehicle Watch The Suspension In Action - https://youtu.be/JBDHVyYTqEo Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Off road testing the 2017 Ram Power Wagon. 1. Front & Rear Electronic Lockers To start off with the basics and essentials of a proper off-road vehicle, the vehicle boasts an impressive 14.3 inches of ground clearance, with the 4WD system sending power to 33” Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires. But more impressively, the first feature I’ll be discussing are the electronic front and rear lockers. Yes, both axles can fully lock up at the push of a button. So what does this mean? For off-road use, there is no system which provides more potential wheel torque. When all four wheels are locked, any wheel that has traction can receive 100% of the engine’s torque, assuming all three other wheels have no traction. In other words, the torque splits across all four wheels as traction allows for it. The downside of having all four wheels rotate at the exact same speed is that while cornering the outside tires travel further, so there will be axle bind or wheel scrub, which is why it’s important to only use the lockers when off-road. 2. Disconnecting Sway Bar One of the balances engineers have to address when designing an off-road truck is the amount of axle articulation allowed, versus the amount of body roll allowed. A stiff suspension means little body roll, but not enough axle articulation. A soft suspension allows for greater articulation of the axle, meaning more contact with the ground, but significantly more body roll. The Power Wagon addresses this with an electronically controlled disconnecting sway bar for the front axle. At low speeds, with the sway bar disconnected, this allows for significantly more twist of the front axle, without the rear tire coming off the ground. Decoupling the sway bar allows for a total difference of 26 inches of vertical travel between the center of each of the front wheels. At speeds above 18 miles per hour, the sway bar automatically reconnects to decrease body roll, though you can select to turn it on or off below this speed. 3. Unique Suspension Design The disconnecting sway bar isn’t the only noteworthy detail of this truck’s suspension design, which brings us to point number three. Up front there’s a three link suspension with Ram’s Articulink, a high movement joint located at the lower control arm mount, which allows for additional flex and articulation of the axle. In the rear, there’s a five link coil suspension. A five link suspension can control the up and down motion of a suspension, while negating side to side motion. Versus a leaf spring design, this setup is better at preventing axle rotation and lateral motion. Other advantages of using coils rather than leaf springs is reduced unsprung mass and the elimination of slip-stick friction between leaf springs. The Power Wagon also incorporates a third damper connecting the top of the rear axle to the frame, for additional control. After all, this is a 7,000 pound truck. 4. Engine: Raised Idle & Throttle Control (+ Crawl Mode) Moving on to number four, the engine provides excellent low speed control. Place the transfer case in four wheel drive low, and this increases the systems gear ratio by 2.64, providing a crawl ratio of 35:1. This allows for better hill decent control, as well as increased control going up hills or navigating over larger obstacles. But it’s not just about gearing here. The 6.4L V8 engine, producing 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, alters several parameters when it sees the transfer case placed in 4-low. The throttle response softens, to allow for more precise inputs, and the idle speed raises from 650 RPM to 750 RPM. By raising the idle RPM, this helps to ease into the throttle more precisely, allowing for smooth acceleration, rather than jolting the vehicle. 5. 12,000 LB Warn Winch Finally, at the front of the truck, a 12,000 pound Warn winch is incorporated seamlessly behind the bumper. So in the event that you get stuck, or need to pull yourself up a steep incline safely, or you know, if your friend rolls there car over. Well in this scenario, it’s best to orient your vehicle perpendicular to the flipped car, attach the winch over and across the top, and slowly and carefully roll the car back to an upright position. This won’t fix their broken windshield, but hopefully their tires can serve their purpose again. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How Tesla Hit 60 MPH In 2.53 Seconds, And How Rollout Works 0-60 In 2.28 Seconds Video - https://youtu.be/iVGsWvRa1XA Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Motor Trend Source Article: http://www.motortrend.com/cars/tesla/model-s/2017/2017-tesla-model-s-p100d-first-test-review/ The Tesla Model S P100D set a new record with a 0-60 time of 2.28 seconds, as tested by Motor Trend. Originally, this seemed impossible based on my theoretical limit of 0-60 mph in 2.32 seconds from the braking distance of a P85. Thankfully, Jason Cammisa and Frank Markus of Motor Trend contacted me and we worked through their numbers. The critical piece of information which I left out in my first video is that the 0-60 time of 2.28 seconds excludes the time for 1 ft of rollout. In that first 0.26 seconds, the Tesla has already reached 5.9 mph before the clock has started ticking. This video explains rollout, and why it is used by all the major auto magazines.

Watch An Off Road Truck Suspension While Moving! 5 Things You Shouldn't Do In A 4X4 - https://youtu.be/4-Wy5ENm_lM Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 This video provides a visual understanding of what's happening under your car while you drive. What we’re looking at, starting with the right we have the tire, wheel, and brake caliper. Moving left you can see the spring and damper. Towards the bottom is what Ram calls the “Articulink, an additional linkage in the lower control arm which allows for greater articulation of the front axle. Above the axle you can see the track bar or Panhard rod. You want to allow up and down motion of the suspension, but prevent lateral and longitudinal motion. The track bar is used to restrict side to side movement. Above the track bar you can see the drag link. This is part of the steering linkage and is used to rotate the right wheel, which is then linked by a cross-car-tie-rod to rotate the left wheel. Finally, we have the jounce bumper or ‘bump stop’, which is used to prevent contact between the axle and the frame when suspension travel is excessive due to shock impacts. 2015 RAM Power Wagon Review - https://youtu.be/Y3pAdIN6VhY Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Why might that be? The McLaren does take advantage of using braking strategies to maximize acceleration, and optimize cornering. While accelerating out of a corner, by braking the inside rear tire slightly, the open diff (which always splits torque 50/50) is able to apply a greater wheel force to the outside rear tire.

Snow Drifting In My Subaru Crosstrek - Long Term Update!

Deep, icy, or steep, with plenty of clearance and Blizzak WS80 snow tires, I've had no trouble getting through as deep as 15" of powder. The AWD system has a purely mechanical viscous coupling in the center that nominally splits torque 50/50, but will divert power to the axle with more traction if a wheel starts to slip. Both the front and rear have open differentials, however there is a "Limited Slip Device" (cleverly called LSD by Subaru) which brakes the slipping wheel to help send more torque to the wheel that has traction for greater acceleration. Despite the fact that it only has 148 HP, it's perfectly capable of some four-wheel snow drifts when conditions allow! Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Watching A Cold Engine Start With A Thermal Camera Flir One Thermal Camera - http://amzn.to/2j2gnNh Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Related Videos/Links Should You Warm Up Your Engine? - https://youtu.be/xKALgXDwou4 Garmin 4K Camera Used - http://amzn.to/2fZSSQ0 Data Overlay OBD2 Link - http://amzn.to/2fZMYi3 In this video we’re going to be cold starting the engine of my 2016 Subaru Crosstrek, and using a thermal camera we’re going to watch the engine heat up. The ambient temperature is about negative 6 degrees Celsius or about 22 degrees Fahrenheit. As far as metrics we’ll be monitoring, we’ve got overlays of the engine RPM, which will run higher when the engine first starts to help warm things up. We also have throttle position, the coolant and intake air temperatures, the temperature of where the thermal camera is centered, and a timestamp so we know how long the engine has been running. If it’s freezing outside and you don’t want to get in a frozen car, no one’s going to fault you for warming up the engine and making sure it’s comfortable inside, as well as making sure the windows are defrosted so you’re ready to roll. In my video I was purely discussing what’s happening from a mechanical standpoint when you let your engine sit and idle. Oil can actually flow at very low temperatures. You may be freezing, but for certain viscosity grades cold temperatures aren’t a huge deal. For example, my Honda S2000 recommends a 10W-30 oil, and it only recommends going down to a thinner 5W grade oil if ambient temperatures drop below minus 20 degrees C. Minus 20 degrees C! And this is logical based on SAE cold temperature viscosity ratings. For example, a 0W oil needs to be able to pump at -40 degrees C. A 5W oil needs to be able to pump at -35 degrees C. A 10W oil needs to be able to flow at -30 degrees C, and so on. Oil can do a decent job of protecting your engine even at low temperatures, as long as you’re not asking the engine for too much power. Try to keep the revs low, and be light on the throttle until the engine is warmed up. Getting up to higher vehicle speeds is fine, as long as your acceleration is gentle and steady, and you’re mindful of your engine RPM. Source: http://www.viscopedia.com/viscosity-tables/substances/sae-viscosity-grades/ Now inevitably someone in the comments is going to say they live in an area with negative 40 degrees C temps and they always warm there car up for several minutes before taking off. A couple of things to note here: first, that’s obviously super cold, and I can’t blame you for wanting the interior to be warm. Second, make sure you’re using a viscosity grade that can flow in these conditions. 0W is designed for this. Third, with temperatures this low, it’s a good idea to get an electric engine block heater so your engine won’t have to strain so hard to get oil flowing throughout. At about 5 minutes and 20 seconds, when the coolant temperature reaches 50 degrees C, you’ll notice the engine RPM starts to significantly drop, eventually getting down to 800 RPM when the coolant reaches 60 degrees C.

Typically the first rev limiter is used when the car is stationary, as launch control. The second rev limiter is the redline (or slightly past) there to ensure you don't damage the engine by over-revving. Rev limiters work by either limiting fuel, or limiting spark. You can run a lean A/F mixture, or cut fuel entirely. Likewise, you can retard spark timing, or kill the spark entirely, but this means unburnt fuel will exit the exhaust, thus leading to pops and crackles as the unburnt fuel ignites with the outside air. Two step is not by design an anti-lag system, but by significantly retarding the timing, it can act very similarly, and achieve the same goal, though only for launches. Once the vehicle is moving, the system will not attempt to maintain boost during shifts, as traditional anti-lag systems would. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Car Gears - https://youtu.be/bgGgH0j0KQE Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Related Videos: Why Does First Gear Have The Most Torque? https://youtu.be/dbvATt89Ico The final drive ratio is typically the gear ratio for the differential, or the final location where the gearing is altered before being sent to the wheels. Changing the final drive ratio heavily impacts the way the car behaves. If you increase the final drive ratio, each gear will have greater wheel torque, while sacrificing top speed. If you decrease the final drive ratio, each gear will have a higher top speed, however deliver less torque. Raising the final drive ratio also means you'll be at higher RPM in your top gear, raising your engine's speed on the highway. You'll also need to correct the speedometer. How To Calculate The Top Speed Of A Specific Gear In MPH: Top Speed = ((RPM*60)/(Final Drive*Current Gear Ratio))*((Wheel Size (in.) +(2*(Tire Ratio/100)*(Tire Width (mm)/25.4)))*Pi)/(5280*12) Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How Oil Systems Work - https://youtu.be/W80ne2i6uxQ - Sponsored By Pennzoil Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 What's the difference between wet and dry sump oil systems? Wet sump systems tend to have significantly larger pans, with a single oil pump. Dry sump systems have shallower oil pans, with a separate reservoir and two (or more) oil pumps. By relocating the oil reservoir, there are several distinct advantages to a dry sump system: lower CG by using a shallower oil pan, flexible oil capacity - which can lead to improved cooling, and the ability to sustain high g corners without the lubrication system losing oil or pressure.

Like Koenigsegg, Like Honda: The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Koenigsegg Regera - https://youtu.be/naRY3knqFYU Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid features three different drive modes, utilizing their latest hybrid drivetrain. There's EV mode, where the car is purely driven by the electric drive motor, powered by the 1.3 kWh battery. Without sufficient charge, hybrid mode is engaged. This uses the engine purely as a generator, spinning a separate generator motor to charge the batter and send power to the drive motor. At highway cruising speeds, the system can enter engine drive mode, where the engine directly drives the wheels, with a set gear ratio. In this mode, the battery also charges up, so once the battery has sufficient charge the vehicle will switch to electric-only, and switch back and forth between the engine and the battery depending on charge. All of this is achieved using an overdrive lockup clutch, to lock the engine to the drive motor, spinning the countershaft and thus the differential. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Why Some Nissan Engines Do Not Need A Throttle Body - VVEL How VVEL Works - Variable Valve Event & Lift Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) is Nissan's valve system capable of operating an engine at any RPM with the throttle wide open. The throttle does exist for as a safety back-up incase any systems fail, and also has other minor uses, however the engine can operate without it's use at any load, and any RPM. This is done by varying how much the intake valves open during the intake stroke. For low load/RPM use, there are less pumping losses as the piston does not have to fill the intake manifold with a vacuum to draw in air. Atmospheric pressure is available right outside the intake valve. For mid load/RPM, response is immediate as you don't have to wait for the atmospheric pressure to travel through the intake manifold. For high load/RPM, you can open the valves as much as the design allows, giving you more power and torque versus single cam engines which cannot vary valve lift.

The first thing you want to do is make sure the car is on level ground, and raise it up onto jack stands ensuring that it is still level. I had an additional video on how this is done if you are curious. It is important that the car is level so that you add the appropriate amount of oil to the transmission housing. 2. With a drain pan located underneath, you’ll want to locate and remove the oil filler plug. This is the plug on top, not to be confused with the bottom plug, which is the drain plug. Removing the fill plug will allow you to check the cleanliness of the oil, as well as the level. 3. As you can see, with the old oil on the left and the new oil on the right, the old oil is clearly dirty and in need of replacement. Our next step is to remove the drain plug and drain the transmission fluid. 4. With the fluid drained, reinstall the drain plug, making sure to use a new 14 mm washer, and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolt to 29 lb-ft. Always be careful not to over-tighten, as you could damage the threads. 5. Next, begin refilling the transmission fluid. To do this, I’m using genuine Honda manual transmission fluid, as well as a simple transfer pump. I’ll include a link to this tool in the video description. 6. Pump in the transmission fluid until you have some start to spill out from the filler hole. This ensures that your transmission fluid is at the correct height, and you’ve added the correct amount. 7. Re-install the oil filler plug with a new 20 mm washer, which can be purchased from Honda for about sixty cents. Use a torque wrench to tighten this bolt to 33 lb-ft. 8. With the fluid in place and both bolts torque to spec, simply wipe up any excess oil that remains on the transmission case, and you’re all done!

I had an additional video on how this is done if you are curious. It’s important that the car is level so that you add the appropriate amount of oil to the differential housing, and so that it properly drains. 2. With a drain pan located underneath, you’ll want to locate and remove the oil filler plug. This is the plug on top, not to be confused with the lower plug, which is the drain plug. Removing the fill plug will allow you to check the level of the oil and its cleanliness. 3. Removing some of the oil to examine, with the old oil on the left and the new oil on the right, you can see the old oil is clearly dirty and will need to be replaced. 4. Our next step is to remove the drain plug and drain the differential fluid. 5. With the fluid drained, reinstall the drain plug, making sure to use a new washer, and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolt to 33 lb-ft. Be careful not to over-tighten, as you could damage the housing threads. 6. Next, we’ll begin refilling the transmission fluid. Honda recommends using API classification GL5 or GL6 gear oil with a viscosity rating of SAE 90. As you can see, I’ll be using Mobil 1’s 75W-90 GL5 synthetic gear lubricant. Now ideally, you don’t necessarily want something with a lower cold rating, in this case 75, but what’s critically important is the number on the right, after the W, which is 90. You want to make sure whatever oil you end up using, the final number is no lower than 90. This 90 is the viscosity rating of the oil at operating temperature, so even though this oil is rated 75W-90, it will act exactly like an SAE 90 oil once the differential is at operating temperature. The only difference is it will be somewhat thinner at lower temperatures, but you shouldn’t be driving your car hard until it’s warmed up regardless. 7. To add oil, I’m using a fluid pump that fits directly on top of quart size bottles, so I can use it right on the diff oil bottle. I’ll include a link to this tool in the video description. 8. Pump in the differential fluid into the filler port until you have some oil start to spill out. This ensures that your differential fluid is at the correct height, and you’ve added the correct amount. 9. Re-install the oil filler plug with a new washer, and use a torque wrench to tighten this bolt to 33 lb-ft, just like the drain bolt. 10. With the fluid in place and both bolts torque to spec, wipe up any excess oil that remains on the differential case, and you’re good to go!

Which tire is best, and when? Winter/snow tires vs summer tires. Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 (Winter) - http://amzn.to/2hqRTgD Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R (Summer) - http://amzn.to/2gXJX2Q Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Winter Tires: https://youtu.be/8OifbH5siF0 Winter tires are designed with a compound that remains flexible at low temperatures, while summer tires are designed to remain more firm, but will have a stickier compound at higher temperatures. An all-season tire is simply a compromise between the two. The major difference between the compounds comes down to something called the glass transition temperature. This is the temperature at which molecules in the rubber of the tire move less freely. In this low energy state, the molecules become more plastic-like, and this reduces the friction between the rubber and the road. For winter tires, the glass transition temperature is very low, where as for summer tires this transition range can be around 40-45 degrees F. Below this temperature, winter tires will perform better. When the temperature of the tire increases above the glass transition temp, the molecules move more freely, the rubber becomes more pliable, and the tire will have more friction with the road, giving better traction. That said, as temperatures increase, there is a point at which the molecules begin to move too freely, and the rubber starts to become gummy, dramatically increasing wear, and changing the handling characteristics. Winter tires will wear very quickly at higher temperatures, where as summer tires will provide better grip, response, feedback, and handling. This temperature range of the compound remains vitally important regardless of conditions. For example, if it’s raining, and it’s say, 70 degrees F outside, the summer tire will have a grippier compound at this temperature. Assuming you don’t have standing water, and the tire is touching the road, the summer tire will have more grip in the rain at this temperature. So what are some of the other advantages of a summer tire? Well, this RE71R tire specifically was surprisingly inspired by motorcycles, developed from a high grip polymer Bridgestone used in MotoGP. The tread pattern has a wide center rib, which gives you a lot of response in steering and turn in, and it has massive shoulder blocks on the outside, unbroken, with no pass through grooves. The stiff shoulder blocks provide high grip and cornering, and for accelerating while going straight. You’ll also notice two large circumferential grooves with angled grooves and directional tread pattern for removing water. Another interesting change on the RE71 is that it’s a little more rounded than the RE11, kind of like a motorcycle tire, and what Bridgestone has found is that this slightly increases the contact patch of the tire versus the RE11 during steering and turn-in, maximizing grip while cornering. The sidewalls are also stiffer than your average touring tires. The winter tire, on the other hand, has significantly different design characteristics. Immediately you’ll notice a deeper tread. Deep tread allows for collecting snow, as snow on snow traction is actually pretty good. The trade-off, however, since the tread blocks stick out further, is that they’ll be less stiff. The stiff tread blocks of summer tires is what gives them a more responsive, precise feel. You’ll also notice siping, little zig zag grooves in the tread, which you won’t find on summer tires. This provides more bitting edges to grip the snow and ice, and is also another location to collect snow. Zig-zags help minimize the loss in stiffness, however the sipes will still result in more flexible tread blocks.

How Does Engine Oil Protect Your Engine? How Does It Work? How Do Engine Lubrication Systems Work - Sponsored By Pennzoil Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Engine oil is used for several purposes: to reduce friction in your engine, which reduces power losses and increase efficiency, to reduce wear by limiting metal on metal contact, and to remove contaminants from your engine. The engine oil starts in the engine sump, or oil pan, where it is sucked up through the pick-up tube to the oil pump, which then sends the oil through the oil filter. After passing through the filter, it travels to the various engine systems, including the crankshaft, pistons, and valvetrain.

How To Change The Oil In Your Car - Full Synthetic Oil Change Thank you Pennzoil for sponsoring this video!! All opinions are mine. Pennzoil Platinum 5 Qt - http://amzn.to/2g7D91U Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Related Videos: Honda S2000 Playlist - https://goo.gl/FflSr1 Lift Car On To Jack Stands - https://youtu.be/X2XdxPJnpNE 1. First, it’s a good idea to run the car outside for a bit; this ensures the oil is warmed up and makes draining it easier. Obviously you’ll want to avoid touching anything hot once you do start working on the car. 2. Second, we’ll need to lift the car up onto jack stands. I’ve explained how to do this in a separate video. It’s certainly not necessary to lift it onto all four jack-stands as seen for just an oil change, but I’ll be addressing other fluids while under the vehicle. As you can tell this obviously isn’t a sponsored video as these companies tend to not like being in a video together, but I like these companies products so I’m using them for different fluids in my car. 3. Next we want to place a drain tub underneath the car, and then remove the oil pan drain bolt, to drain the engine oil. It can help to crack open the oil fill cap to help drain oil. 4. Once the oil has finished draining, move the drain tub underneath the oil filter, and unscrew the oil filter. You may want to do this fairly slowly, to allow the oil to drain out into the tub. When removing the oil filter, make sure the rubber gasket from the old filter does not remain on the engine. 5. Rub a small amount of new oil onto the gasket of the new oil filter, in this case I’m using a genuine Honda filter specifically for the S2000. Then screw the new oil filter on. After the rubber gasket seats, tighten the oil filter based on what the owners manual recommends, or what the oil filter recommends. In this case Honda recommends a 7/8ths turn of the filter after the gasket seats, or 16 lb-ft. 6. Next, screw down the drain bolt, replacing the 14 mm washer. A lot of people like to use the old washer, but you can literally replace it with an OEM washer from Honda for 30 cents, so there’s really no reason not to replace it. Most auto parts stores will also carry them. Tighten the drain plug to 29 lb-ft using a torque wrench, and be sure not to over tighten as this is an aluminum drain pan and you can damage the threads. 7. Be sure to clean off any oil that remains on the drain plug or oil filter. 8. Pull the drain tub out from under the car, and lower the car back down so that it’s level. This is especially true when you’ve just lifted the front end up onto jack stands. 9. Unscrew the oil fill cap, and add the recommended type and quantity of oil, in this case 4.8 liters or 5.1 quarts of SAE 10W-30. 10. Screw the oil cap back on, and run the car for a few minutes in a well ventilated area. Check underneath the car to ensure there are no leaks. Shut the car off, and address leaks as necessary. 11. Check the oil fill level using the dipstick, and make sure the oil fill level is just below or no higher than the top mark of the dipstick. Add oil if necessary. 12. Finally, dispose of the old oil properly. Many auto parts stores will recycle it, or you can take it to a local hazardous waste disposal area for recycling.

How To Completely Lift Your Car Off The Ground (All Four Wheels) 2-Ton Jack (Low Profile) - http://amzn.to/2fv0zOK Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Tools Used: 2-Ton Jack (Low Profile) - http://amzn.to/2fv0zOK Jack Stands (2 Ton) - http://amzn.to/2fS7qmi Wheel Chocks - http://amzn.to/2g7GEFQ Related Videos: Honda S2000 Playlist - https://goo.gl/FflSr1 1. To start, make sure the car is on level ground. 2. Apply the parking brake, and place wheel chocks to ensure the car doesn’t roll. Block the rear wheels when lifting the front, and block the front wheels when lifting the rear. 3. Next you’ll need to locate the jacking points; some cars will have one at the front and one in the back. If they don’t, nearly all cars will have jacking points behind each of the front wheels, and in front of each of the rear wheels. You can refer to your owners manual to locate the jacking points. 4. First we’re going to lift the front of the car onto jack stands. If you have a front jacking point, use this, if not you can use the rear jacking points, and slide a jack stand under each side of the front of the car once it’s high enough. This will require jacking both sides of the car, to get both front jack stands underneath. Place jack stands underneath each of the jacking points on the sides up front, and lower the car down onto the jack stands. Remember, you may not want to jack the car to the full desired height; I will be starting at the lowest jack setting because I still need to be able to access the rear jacking point, and I also don’t want to have the jack stands tip over. 5. Now bring the floor jack to the rear of the car, and lift it via the rear jacking point. In this case we’re lifting by the rear differential; often times you can find a tow hook, which can also serve as a jacking point. It’s a good idea to throw a shop rag on top of the jack to ensure that you don’t scratch up the differential casing. 6. Lift up the rear of the car, place the jack stands underneath, and lower the car down onto them. Ideally you want all of the jack stands at the same height, so that the car is level. 7. If you need to raise the vehicle further, do so by incrementally lifting the front and rear to your desired lift height. You simply want to be careful to ensure that the car doesn’t cause the jack stands to tip over. 8. Once you’ve got the car level and all the jack stands adjusted appropriately, give the car a bit of a shake to make sure it’s safe to get underneath. Since I’m paranoid and also enjoy living, I like to place wood blocks underneath each of the wheels as an extra precaution. 9. Now this obviously isn’t necessary if you plan on removing the wheels, and in that case you typically will want to slightly loosen the lug nuts before lifting the vehicle, unless you have an impact wrench available to use.

What’s the difference between developing for a race car vs road car? Enter to Win a Trip to Andretti Autosport! - https://goo.gl/HoS7hK Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Related Links: TE Connectivity: http://www.te.com/ It’s important to understand that there are very different goals in mind when developing for a race car, versus developing for a road car. A race car, such as in Formula E, is designed to last for 1 season; while the life of other race cars in motorsport can be even shorter. Your car, however, is obviously designed to last far longer, only requiring maintenance attention every 20,000 miles or so, if that, aside from basic oil changes. Though your car is designed to last a long duration for its intended use, it’s important to also realize that it wouldn’t hold up to the constant harsh conditions that race cars are subject to on a track. Maintenance on Formula E cars is far higher, with the car coming apart nearly every time they’re back in the garage. This is of course a compromise of balancing a light weight, good handling, compact package, and strength and durability. In Formula E, tracks in Argentina and Hong Kong offer a challenge from a thermal management standpoint, as the ambient temperatures are high, while tracks like Battersea park in London have extreme bumps offering its own harsh vibration conditions. TE Autosport connectors are a solution created for the racing world, as can operate up to 175 degrees Celsius, and can be un-mated and re-connected at least 500 times. By contrast, the average road car connector is rated up to 120 degrees celsius with a mating cycle of 10-15 times, as un-mating electrical connections isn’t something that should need to occur frequently for road cars. Nearly everything in a race car needs to be able to withstand far more punishment than a passenger vehicle, yet ideally have far less mass. While the automotive industry continues to evolve, TE is working towards solutions which are desirable regardless of where this industry is headed. As cars become greener, more efficient, and autonomous, there’s a need for sensors, wiring, and connectors to be smaller, lighter, and of course maintain reliability for the life of the product.

This feature includes a hydraulic cylinder in series with the spring and shock absorber, allowing for hydraulic pressure to alter the length of the suspension strut. By altering the strut length, the car can compensate for bumps and dips in the road, allowing for a smoother ride. The system can also be used to keep the car body flat in cornering, accelerating, and braking, and even make the car lean into corners how motorcycles do. Ultimately, it adds another level of comfort to the suspension. Don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Using data acquisition to win on race day: sensor strategy! Enter to Win a Trip to Andretti Autosport! - https://goo.gl/HoS7hK Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Related Links: TE Connectivity: http://www.te.com/ Sensor strategy really comes down to data acquisition, measuring all kinds of information on the car: battery temperature, tire pressure, transmission oil pressure, remaining energy, throttle position, and so on.TE connectivity supplies over 100 products and many of the sensors used in the Formula E car through their technical partnership with Andretti. Just as important as the build quality of these products is knowing what to do with the information the sensors provide. Live data is fairly limited in Formula E, however after each race engineers dive through all of the information each sensor provides. The decisions made using this information can easily mean the difference between finishing on or off the podium. One critical item to measure is battery temperature, as it greatly impacts the performance of the vehicle. If the battery temperature reaches about 55 degrees Celsius, the car’s electric regeneration is limited, reducing efficiency and changing the brake bias. If the cell temperatures reach 62 degrees Celsius, the performance of the vehicle is automatically reduced. And finally, if the temperature reaches 64 degrees, the car stops. What do you do if the battery temperature is getting too hot? The easiest solution is of course to use less throttle, but this could likely mean giving up your position. An alternative method is to reduce battery regeneration, which adds significant heat to the battery pack under braking as it’s using the electrical motors to put energy back into the battery to slow the vehicle down. By using the mechanical brakes, the heat can be displaced elsewhere, however this of course means you’ll have less energy overall than your opponents. If there’s enough juice in the battery and only a few laps remaining, it’s a strategy that can pay off. If battery energy is low however, sacrificing regen could mean running the battery dead. Battery temperature and the car’s performance have to be carefully balanced in order for a team to have an advantage. The sensors TE develops aren’t purely limited to the world of motorsport, as they have products reaching out to automotive OEMs, the energy and industrial sector, and even aerospace and defense.

The Insane Engineering Of Red Bull Global Rallycross Supercars! Watch Full Event Here (See Me at 28:56!) - https://goo.gl/V7orNp Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Red Bull Global Rallycross: http://redbullglobalrallycross.com/ Regulations limit them to 2 liter engines and 45 millimeter turbocharger restrictor plates, which ultimately are the two factors limiting power. The engines produce about 600 horsepower, and over 650 lb-ft of torque, rocketing these machines from 0-60 in as fast as 1.9 seconds. 1.9 seconds! If we do the math, 60 mph is equivalent to 88 ft per second. 88/1.9 = 46.3 ft/sec squared, or if we divided by 32.2, it means the cars accelerate at over 1.4 longitudinal g’s!! That’s faster than any production vehicle, regardless of how much it costs. So how do they achieve such mind blowing acceleration? First and foremost, you’ll need all wheel drive and an absurd power to weight ratio. With a minimum weight of 2921 pounds including the driver and all fluids, the vehicles are carrying less than 5 pounds of weight for every horsepower the engine produces. All wheel drive is obviously critical for maximizing acceleration, but it’s also important that the engine torque finds its way to the wheels with the most traction. To do this, plate and ramp style mechanical limited slip differentials are used front and back. A shallow ramp angle in an LSD will lock up more easily under throttle. With the differential locked up, torque goes wherever it finds grip. A steep ramp angle will provide little lock-up, or if it’s as steep as 90 degrees, no lockup. If you use too shallow of an angle, you’ll have too much lock-up under cornering or braking, resulting in the car running wide. If you use too steep of an angle, you won’t be able to fully put the power down to optimize your start, or acceleration through-out the race. Often though, coming down to the precise angle is not only a matter of what’s best from an engineering standpoint, but what the driver prefers as well, depending on how they like to attack the course. Now all of this sound great so far, but ultimately the power gets put down where the rubber meets the road. BFGoodrich supplies their g-Force RC02 Rallycross tires, which are developed specifically and exclusively for Red Bull Global Rallycross. Built for 17 inch wheels with a profile of 235/45, the radial tires are molded slicks specially designed for mixed surface events. For both the front and the rear, BFGoodrich recommends negative 2.0 to negative 3.0 degrees of static camber, with a cold pressure of 20-22 psi. The tremendous grip these tires provide is the last mechanical step of getting to 60 in less than two seconds. Huge thank you to Red Bull for sponsoring this video!

The development and engineering of a Formula E electric race car Enter to Win a Trip to Andretti Autosport! - https://goo.gl/HoS7hK Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Related Links: TE Connectivity: http://www.te.com/ Regulations for open development in Formula E are restricted to areas which could potentially solve problems in the world of electric mobility. For these reasons, the primary focus on development within Formula E surrounds the powertrain, rather than focusing on things like the brakes or chassis which aren’t as unique to the sport. The powertrain consists of a battery pack rated at 28 kilo-watt hours, which sends power to the electric motor. For season one the vehicles used a single motor which was actually the same unit used in the McLaren P1. This motor had highest power density of any automotive electric motor at the time. Traditional motors deliver 2-3 kW of power per kg, while the P1 motor is closer to 8 kW per kg. One or two motors can be used, though the power from both motors must move through a single limited slip differential to power the rear wheels. Torque vectoring is not allowed, nor is using an individual motor for each wheel, so at this time it’s not very beneficial to employ a two motor strategy due to the added weight. Ultimately, the biggest focus on innovation within Formula E comes down to making things smaller, lighter, and more efficient, rather than purely focusing on outright speed. What’s unique about this is that it provides a testbed for innovation within the world of electric cars, hopefully spurring ideas that can improve what we’ll find on the road in years to come. Regarding the relationship between Andretti Technologies and TE Connectivity, TE provides their own engineer dedicated to the team and traveling with them for each of the races. Matt Gould is the current engineer who’s fortunate enough to hold this position, and acts as the go-to guy for anything TE related on the vehicle, while in return gaining an incredible experience to work alongside such a prestigious automotive racing team, and providing feedback to TE on ways to continually improve the product line.

When Should You Shift Gears For Maximum Acceleration? Physics For Gearheads - http://amzn.to/29ipxCw Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 In order to accelerate as fast as possible, it is necessary to know exactly when you should shift gears. Maximum acceleration occurs when wheel torque is as high as possible. This gear shift should occur when the engine torque has dropped low enough that the lower gearing no longer offers a torque advantage. For many vehicles, this will occur at redline. For vehicle with lots of gears, or very close ratio gears, this may not be the case. In order to determine when to shift gears, you'll need to know your horsepower/torque curve (dyno), your transmission gear ratios, your redline, and your final drive ratio. Note: some cars have more than one gear reduction in the transmission, as does the Honda S2000 explained in this video. You'll need this number if you want to fully calculate the wheel torque.

Red Bull Air Race - http://www.redbullairrace.com/ Pulling up to 7 g's in a two-seater Red Bull Air Race plane. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The power plant of the Edge 540 is an air-cooled six cylinder horizontally opposed engine. The engine code, AEIO540, indicates that the engine is aerobatic (AE), as in the plane can fly upside down with both oil and fuel pressure maintained, the “I” stands for fuel injection, the “O” for horizontally opposed, and 540 for the displacement of the engine in cubic inches. The engine produces 300 horsepower, and while the specific output may seem low, it’s important to realize that reliability is a much more important factor here, with the large displacement engine having relatively low internal stresses. There are also two ignition systems as redundancy for safety. From the engine, the propeller is directly driven by the crankshaft - there’s no gearbox or gear reduction used, and the engine speed is limited to 2,950 RPM for competition. To optimize the engine speed for competition, a governor is used to maintain the peak propeller RPM. The governor works by altering oil pressure within the propeller, changing the pitch of the blades. The pitch, or angle of attack of the blades, is very much so like the gearing of a car. A fine (or low) pitch is similar to using a lower gear with a high ratio, great for initial acceleration but with a low top speed. A course (or high) pitch is similar to a higher transmission gear with a lower ratio - more efficient and it allows for traveling at higher speeds. The pitch is adjusted constantly to maintain the peak 2950 RPM. From an engineering standpoint, it operates in a similar manner to a continuously variable transmission. The plane is incredibly light, and yet incredibly rigid. Including the driver, fuel, everything - the plane has a minimum weight of 696 kg, or about 1535 lbs. For comparison, that’s significantly less than a Smart Car, yet with a massive 8.8 liter engine. This ultra-light structure is capable of withstanding up to the 12 g’s of acceleration allowed in competition, and the pilots may sustain anywhere from 6-8 g’s in a long bend. Much like in auto racing where drivers try to stay on the edge of grip, pilots will attempt to get as close to the 12 g mark without crossing over during the race to put down the fastest time. The plane consists of a steel tube fuselage, and the engineers aim to push the center of gravity of the plane as far back as possible. This makes the plane unstable, but it greatly improves the agility, which is what the pilots want. Aerodynamics, as you might assume, play a crucial role in competition. While the two seater version of the plane has open wing tips, the competition plane features tips that reduce the influence of vortices disrupting the airflow over the wing, greatly reducing drag. Less drag means the plane can fly faster, and accelerate harder. One of the spots Red Bull has recently innovated is the rudder behind the rear stabilizer. They’ve reduced the size by about 33%, significantly cutting down on drag. All of the flight controls for rotating the plane are completely man powered. There’s no electronics or hydraulics to assist in maneuvering the plane. Kirby Chambliss will control the rudder with his feat, and the ailerons (or wing flaps), with his hands. One of the features on the wings you might notice are the spades, which connect to the ailerons. These spades act as an air brake, essentially providing an assist when altering the orientation of the ailerons to maneuver the plane. In principle, the idea is very similar to power steering in a car, because as he rotates the aileron, the spade creates a force to help this rotation. There are also some clever features from a safety standpoint. For example, if the plane were to center punch one of the pylons used in competition, this could block airflow to the engine. No air and the engine dies, and now the pilot has to land without any power. To prevent the engine from stalling, an air flap is located just behind the air intake, and the vacuum of the engine will force this open so surrounding air can feed it. There are enough openings around the engine that the airflow will be sufficient to keep the engine running. There are also cutters on the plane incase a pylon is hit in other locations. Cutters between the spade and the ailerons ensure nothing gets caught in this area, and there are also cutters between the fin and the rudder. And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Replacing the timing chain tensioner in my Honda S2000. Ballade Sport TCT - https://goo.gl/W2bEKc Motor Oil Used - http://amzn.to/2cYy93G The timing chain tensioner is also referred to as the cam chain auto-tensioner. The S2000 uses a singular gear called the Idler Gear to sync the camshafts and crankshaft timing via timing chain. Please see photo: http://www.balladesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/1904152_10152004407673404_1281476480_n.jpg The type of chain, made by Borg Warner, is called a silent chain. It is extremely durable and very tough. Hardly do you ever see this timing chain break from natural wear and tear. The highest mileage S2000 Ballade Sports has encountered had about 340,000 original miles. Upon inspection of the timing chain they found all the links to be fully in tact. It is well known the F20c/F22c timing chains are so durable it has become a forgotten maintenance to ever replace the timing chain and its plastic timing guides. The timing chain is not meant to last forever, just like any timing chain it must be serviced/replaced due to chain stretch. Over time and use, the timing chain will stretch from its original length reducing timing synchronization of the camshaft and crankshaft. This retards the timing. This leads up to the reason for Hondas timing chain tensioners failure. The noise that the OEM TCT produces is the result of the internals rattling due to the lack of spring tension. As the timing chain stretches and the plastic guides wear down, the TCT has to keep tension on the chain and guides to secure the engine from skipping timing. The TCT has an internal piston which is spring loaded and oil pressure driven. The springs push the piston forward and the threaded worm gear inside the piston keep it one directional. As the piston pushes forward on the timing chain guide it cannot retract, go backwards, due to the internally threaded worm gear. This is a ingenious design by Honda but does make an annoying noise once the piston has reached a certain point of extension. This is where we saw a need to have a stronger TCT. The Ballade TCT is a billet aluminum body similar to the OEM cast aluminum design. Ballade Sports omitted some of the oil galleys in their design versus the Honda design to increase oil pressure. They also increased the spring rate on the internal piston to compensate for the stretched timing chain and guides.

The car features significant performance upgrades over the GT Mustang, and is essentially ready for the track right out the door. The improvements to the GT350 certainly aren’t limited to the engine. There’s new aero work for enhanced cooling beneath the car, as well as a rear differential cooler for the TORSEN limited slip diff at the back. Keeping the cooler at the rear of the car means shorter coolant routing, saving weight and complexity. There’s also extensive use of aluminum in the suspension, and surprisingly the base GT350 only weighs 55 lbs heavier than the base GT Mustang. Another first for the Mustang, the 350 makes use of a magnetic suspension, with damping alterations which can be made at any corner ever 7 milliseconds.

2002 Honda S2000 (AP1) Engineering Review! Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 VTEC Just Kicked In! The S200) features a 2 liter, inline four cylinder with dual overhead cams and the ever-popular VTEC. It produces 240 HP at 8,300 RPM, and 153 lb-ft of torque at 7500 RPM. The engine screams all the way to 9,000 RPM, and had the highest specific output of any naturally aspirated production vehicle on the market when it was released, only to be dethroned by the Ferrari 458 about 10 years later, when they too decided 9,000 RPM was a cool idea. The S2000 incorporates carbon fiber into the cylinder bore liner. Essentially the aluminum alloy is poured over cylinder cores which are made up of aluminum and carbon fibers, and these fibers absorb the molten aluminum. Then the cylinders are bored out, removing most of this material, but leaving a composite cylinder wall about half a millimeter thick. This remaining layer is reinforced with carbon and aluminum fibers, however it’s still integral with the rest of the block. Honda claims this gives it additional strength, and allows for using larger bores within the same size external engine block. The same technology is used in the 3.2L Acura NSX. Keeping strength in mind, the S2000’s pistons are made of forged aluminum, a first for Honda. The transmission had to be designed as compact as possible since the engine is pushed so far back. To do this, Honda kept all six close-ratio speeds and reverse on two parallel shafts to keep the design narrow, and both of these shafts are coupled at the output end, which helps to reduce the load on the gear synchronizers, and thus allows for smaller sized gears. All of the power eventually makes its way back to the rear wheels, the torque split among the tires through a Torsen limited-slip differential. The chassis focuses on keeping the center of gravity low. The vehicle has a 50/50 weight distribution, and you can see the engine is tucked behind the front axle, giving it a lower polar moment of inertia by keeping the mass more central in the vehicle. It also features what Honda calls a high x-bone frame which keeps the car rigid, obviously important for convertibles which don’t have a hard top aiding rigidity. The frame comes in at the front on both sides, comes in through the floor tunnel, and then splits back out at the rear. There are of course side members as well. One of the keys to the x-bone design is that the frame rails at the front and rear are at the same height as the center tunnel, and Honda claims this gives it similar torsional rigidity to a closed top, yet better bending rigidity than open or closed top vehicles. Now with the exception of the aluminum hood, the body is all steel. The suspension up is an “in-wheel double wishbone” design, called this because they’ve shaped the components so much of it can fit within the 16 inch wheels. This helps with packaging, and is a major contributing factor to having a low hood and rear deck line. There’s a double wishbone both up-front and in the rear. The front suspension also has a fairly low roll center, which helps keep the wheel perpendicular to the ground while cornering, and it minimizes suspension jacking and track width changes while cornering which helps with steering feel.

Braking distances explained - https://youtu.be/Vx4Gigi8uL8 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 What is the fastest 0-60 time possible for a street car? The logic of this video is as follows: The fastest a car can hit 60 is a matter of how fast the car can accelerate. A car's acceleration is limited by tire traction, when there is enough horsepower. To determine the maximum acceleration force, we can look at a vehicles maximum deceleration, based on which car can stop the fastest. It turns out a 2014 Corvette Convertible can stop in just 90 feet, so we can use this information to determine just how fast a traction limited AWD street vehicle can hit 60 mph.

How To Destroy A Turbocharged Engine - Lugging and LSPI. How Oil Catch Cans Work - https://youtu.be/PWz6vCnJ4CA Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Lugging your engine, or driving at full throttle in a high gear with low RPM, can result in damage to your engine, especially for small turbocharged engines, known as low speed pre-ignition. By accelerating in a high gear at a low engine RPM, you're putting your engine at a huge gearing disadvantage. This means the engine has to work harder, in other words in a less efficient manner. Less efficient means more heat, and the cylinder temperatures rise. When temperatures rise inside of the cylinders, unpredictable timing can occur (ping, knock, pre-ignition). Knock and pre-ignition can cause piston slap, damaging the walls of the cylinder and creating an engine that burns more oil and makes less power. For small turbocharged engines, lugging the engine can cause low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). LSPI is a when you have pre-ignition of your air fuel mixture (before your spark ignites it) and is becoming a more common phenomenon with small turbocharged engines running at low engine speeds with high load. It’s a dangerous condition that can cause engine damage, such as broken spark plugs or cracked pistons, as a result of extremely high pressures which occur due to significantly advanced ignition timing. It’s also very challenging to detect, and can’t be avoided through ignition timing or changing the spark plug’s heat range. According to SubaruWRXFan, LSPI is often blamed for failures in Ford's EcoBoost engines. Apparently Ford's tune introduces a lot of boost early in the rev-range, and aftermarket tuners have pushed the boost into the higher RPM range to keep the engines safe from pre-ignition. Based on the research provided in this video, getting into boost later on is a good way of mitigating the risk of LSPI. And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

2016 Ford Mustang GT - Charge Motion Control Valve Mustang GT Review - https://youtu.be/UYA3GXpgMM8 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Fuel economy and emissions regulations are always getting more and more stringent, making it more difficult to keep vehicles like this 2016 5.0L V8 Mustang alive. With clever technology, however, there are ways of improving the Mustang’s low end efficiency, without sacrificing much top end power. The idea is to keep the engine as fuel efficient as possible at lower RPM and light throttle applications, but transform it into a raw muscle car when you’re flat out. On the Mustang, one of the pieces of technology working towards this goal is the charge motion control valve. Like any other gasoline engine, the air enters the air filter, passes along through the throttle body, moves into the intake manifold and is separated between the eight cylinders, and then it runs into the charge motion control valve.

5 Ways You Could Damage Your CVT Vehicle 5 Things You Should Never Do Playlist - https://goo.gl/ZgfYOi Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Understanding the do's and don'ts of a CVT transmission requires understanding how the transmission works. There are two common types on the market, including traditional CVTs with torque converters, as well as eCVTs such as that used on the Lexus CT200h in this video. Some practices to avoid include putting the car in neutral when coming to a stop, holding yourself on a hill using throttle (if the system is clutch based), coasting in neutral, neutral dropping the vehicle for a launch, changing directions (from D to R) while the vehicle is still moving, and inching forward (if the system is clutch based).

Should You Warm Up Your Engine Before Driving Your Car? Is Synthetic Engine Oil Better? - https://youtu.be/tYkg0oDUXs8 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Cars with electronic fuel injection do not need to be warmed up before lightly driving off. This is because fuel injected engines can compensate for temperature changes. Cold engines run rich to compensate for poor fuel atomization. This means extra fuel is injected into the combustion chamber. Now fuel is a solvent, so when extra fuel gets on the cylinder walls, it washes away the oil from the cylinders and pistons. Less oil on the cylinder walls means less protection, and because the oil is cold it makes it harder for it to be replaced. This means the longer you spend with your engine cold, the more wear you’ll have. Idling the engine doesn’t put much heat into it, so the car remains cold for a long duration. If it’s cold outside, you can wait 15-30 seconds to ensure that oil is flowing, but you don’t need to wait for the engine to be warm. It will heat up faster by driving the car lightly. By heating it up faster, the oil gets to operating temperature more quickly, and this is what you want to prevent wear. If it’s really cold outside, the time it takes to scrape off the windows so you can see will be plenty of time for oil to start circulating, so you can get in and go once you can see out the windshield.

What Does An Oil Catch Can Do? What Is An Oil Catch Can? Purchase An Oil Catch Can - http://amzn.to/299JHKX Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Should you use an oil catch can? During combustion, a small amount of the combustion gases pass the pistons into the crankcase, this is referred to as blowby. This air isn't super clean, and it mixes with the oil in the camber. The positive pressure in the crankcase needs to be vented, which is where the PCV valve comes in. This allows the air, and oil mist, to escape the crankcase, and is usually rerouted back to the intake. This oil can gunk up your intake system, including forming deposits on the intake valves and piston heads. The only downside is that you will have to drain the oil catch can occasionally. Using the system can help prevent carbon deposits, gunk, and reduce the likelihood of knock and pre-ignition by removing oil contaminants introduced in the intake.

What is Valvetronic? Why don't BMWs use throttle valves? While testing the BMW X1, we explore BMW's latest Valvetronic tech. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 In most gasoline cars, when you press the gas pedal you’re changing how much the throttle valve opens, a butterfly valve regulating the amount of air that enters the engine. In BMW engines with Vavletronic, however, a throttle valve is not necessary, and when you press the gas pedal you’re altering how much the intake valves open. There is indeed a throttle butterfly valve in these engines, but it is simply used as a failsafe. Under normal operating conditions the valve will always remain fully open. There’s a major efficiency benefit of regulating airflow this way, as it reduces the pumping losses of the engine, particularly at low load operations, or any time you’re not flooring it. With throttle bodies, you have close to atmospheric pressure on the filter side, and a vacuum on the intake manifold side. With Valvetronic, you’ll have near atmospheric pressure directly outside the intake valves, and thus the engine does not have as much resistance to pulling in air, making it more efficient. BMW claims this valve train design improves fuel consumption by at least 10% under practical driving conditions. There are additional benefits to this system as well. With throttle bodies, once you floor it, you have to wait for the air to travel from the throttle body to the intake valve. By using the valves to regulate airflow, and already having nearly atmospheric pressure right outside the cylinder, the intake is immediate and thus the response is improved. Another benefit at low load operations; the valves will only open about .5 mm to about 2 mm, and this small cross sectional area means the air fuel mixture will move rapidly, improving fuel atomization. This also helps with cold starts. And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

5 Things You Should Never Do In A Turbocharged Car 5 Things You Should Never Do Playlist - https://goo.gl/SxoUi7 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 1. Do not run the engine hard after start-up. Most people know you should let your engine warm up before running it hard, but many cars only have coolant gauges. Engine oil tends to take longer to heat up, because you don’t have a thermostat like the coolant does, which isolates the coolant in the engine block and regulates its temperature. Oil that isn’t heated up won’t flow as fast as oil at operating condition, which means you’ll have less protection at engine start up. This is especially true for turbocharged vehicles, because you also have oil feeding the bearings of the turbocharger, which spins at insanely high RPM and produces significant heat, so you want to make sure you have proper oil flow through the turbo. It will be different for every car, but it could be an additional several minutes before your oil temperature is near your engine coolant temperature. 2. Don't shut the car off immediately after running it hard. You’re going to have hot spots where the engine components, and especially the turbocharger, are still significantly hotter than your engine oil temperature. If you shut off the engine, the oil no longer flows, and thus pockets of the oil are going to be heated up to very high temperatures. These high temperatures break down the oil, and also burn up and evaporate the light end of the oil, leaving behind a heavier oil that won’t have ideal flow characteristics. This reduces your engine oil life, and also means you might have less protection at start-up. 3. Don’t lug the engine. Low Engine Speed, High Load Operations. First, this isn’t ideal because you’re telling your engine to move your vehicle quickly when it’s at a huge gearing disadvantage. Second, when your engine tries to produce more power at low engine speeds, it may be able to inject more fuel, but not ingest enough air. As a result, you’ll have a highly rich mixture and this can lead to poor emissions, damaging your catalytic converter, and seeing black smoke come out your exhaust. Third, regarding damaging your engine, this can cause low speed pre-ignition. LSPI is a when you have pre-ignition of your air fuel mixture (before your spark ignites it) and is becoming a more common phenomenon with small turbocharged engines running at low engine speeds with high load. It’s a dangerous condition that can cause engine damage, such as broken spark plugs or cracked pistons, as a result of extremely high pressures which occur due to significantly advanced ignition timing. It’s also very challenging to detect, and can’t be avoided through ignition timing or changing the spark plug’s heat range. 4. Don't use low octane rating fuel, especially if the car has been modified. Turbocharged cars tend to have higher pressures and temperatures within the combustion chamber, which is why they have reduced compression ratios to compensate. If your car is modified, you can keep it reliable by running a rich mixture and using high quality, high octane fuels. Obviously reducing boost and retarding the engine timing will do this as well, but of course you’ll be reducing performance. There are knock sensors to help minimize any engine problems, and so they’ll retard timing if it senses knock will occur. 5. Don’t floor it coming out of a corner. In this one I just wanted an excuse to talk about slip angles. Turbocharged cars have some varying amount of turbo lag, new ones are much better. My point is this, as you’re coming out of a corner, your tires have some loading on them, whether your car is FWD, RWD, whatever. Now this doesn’t apply to AWD quite as much, but it’s still an issue. Your car’s stability is a result of your front tire slip angles being nearly identical to your rear tires slip angles. So long as this is true, your car moves on its targeted path. If you floor a turbocharged car, especially cars with high amounts of turbo lag, you get slammed with torque fairly surprisingly. This shock of torque increases the demand of the driven tires, increasing their slip angle. If you have a significant increase of slip angle of just one set of tires, front or rear, you end up with understeer for FWD, or oversteer for RWD. All of this is to say that your throttle application exiting the corner is very important, especially in 2WD turbo vehicles, where turbo lag can easily cause an understeer or oversteer situation.

Why I'm Selling My Subaru WRX STI. First Drive: 2014 WRX STI - https://youtu.be/jtry6Cn8pEA Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 I bought it before I had any experience in the world of automotive journalism. There were very few cars I had test driven beforehand, and so I didn’t really know what I liked. All of my perceptions about what car I wanted were based purely on what other people have said about them, as well as specifications and numbers behind each car. I thought I wanted something that could do everything, and I still think for a 1 car garage, there are very few cars that can challenge the all around amazingness that is an STI. But in making one car that can do everything, there are compromises. You lose fuel economy, you lose ground clearance, you lose some cargo space, but I think really the most important thing here is that you add weight. I was caught up in this world where horsepower basically means everything. And culturally this is very true. Plenty of people could tell you the exact horsepower of their car, but very few could tell you the exact weight of their car. Car people tend to put far, far to much emphasis on horsepower and not nearly enough on weight. Even in the supercar world, there are heavy cars. It all gets overshadowed by how much horsepower the car has and how fast the car can hit sixty. There’s a lot of ego in the car world, and having a car with massive horsepower, that’s completely unusable on the street, somehow tends to be viewed as masculine, while lightweight roadsters tend to be viewed as feminine, even though they’re often way more fun. Women don’t have ego, that’s why they’re spotted driving cars that are way more fun. And I’m at fault for this as well, buying the STI rather than the WRX. Did I really need the extra 40 HP and super sophisticated AWD system? No, but it had over 300 HP and that’s a selling point. It has more LSD than a nightclub and as a result never loses traction. But the WRX is significantly cheaper, just as quick on city streets, and the new one has an amazing engine. It’s not that I don’t love the STI, but it’s that I’ve discovered that I personally have a lot more fun in cars that weigh less and are RWD. But, light weight RWD cars tend to be incredibly impractical, which is why I previously haven’t had one. So instead of having an STI and an Integra, I’m thinking of buying something super practical, and something light weight and RWD. And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Is synthetic motor oil better than conventional oil? Synthetic Motor Oil Myths - https://youtu.be/Se8-W7rK0H4 Thank you to Pennzoil for bringing me out to the 2016 Canadian GP and sponsoring this video! This video has been compensated by GarageMonkey and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The viscosity of an oil is its resistance to flow. A greater viscosity means more resistance to flow, or a thicker oil. A lower viscosity means a thinner oil. Before understanding the benefits of synthetic motor oils, like this Pennzoil Platinum derived from natural gas, we first need to understand the rating system used for motor oils. You’ll often hear 5W-30, or 0W-20 as ratings used in cars today. These are multi-grade viscosity oils, meaning their viscosity grade changes with temperature. The first number, followed by a W, is the cold rating (W stands for Winter), and this means the oil behaves like an SAE 5 grade motor oil (using 5W-30 as the example) while cold, but at operating temperature, at about 100 degrees C, it operates like an SAE 30 grade motor oil. Now 30 is higher than 5, so initially it may seem that the oil would get thicker at higher temperatures, which is obviously not the case. A straight SAE 30 grade oil will be thicker at lower temperatures, as will a 5 grade oil. Even though a 30 weight oil is thicker than a 5 weight oil, at 100C the 30 weight will be thinner than a cold 5 grade oil. Low viscosity at low temperatures is important, because this is where a significant amount of engine wear occurs, so it’s critical to maximize oil flow to protect the engine. At colder temperatures, thinner oils will flow better and thus offer better protection. For a conventional oil, for example while creating a 5W-30 oil, you’ll start with a base oil similar to an SAE grade 5 motor oil, and include additives to alter the viscosity rating. To improve low temperature flow, pour point depressants (PPDs) are added. To increase the viscosity at high temperatures, viscosity index improvers (VIIs) are added. VI improvers are polymers which expand in heat, making it more difficult for flow, thus increasing the viscosity. Synthetic oils, however, can have base oils which are already formulated as a multi-grade oil, meaning you don’t necessarily need additives, or as much additives, to alter the viscosity at different temperatures. The major benefit here is that additives tend to break down over time, so synthetic oils will maintain their original viscosity properties much better throughout the engine oil drain interval versus conventional oils. (Diagram illustrating viscosity vs temperature) If you were to plot two 5W-30 motor oils, one conventional and one synthetic, at the beginning of the oil change interval, they would have similar viscosity properties. At the end of the interval, however, the synthetic would act nearly identical to the original oil, while the conventional oil would be thicker at low temps, and thinner at high temps. Now does this mean that with synthetic motor oils you can extend your engine oil drain interval? No! It just means your engine is better protected throughout the engine oil drain interval. There are still additives (anti-wear, dispersants, anti-foam, detergents, rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors) which wear out over time, so you should always change at whatever interval your owners manual suggests.

5 Things You Should Never Do In A Dual Clutch Transmission Car 5 Things You Should Never Do Playlist - https://goo.gl/SxoUi7 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Don’t put the transmission in neutral when you come to a stop. There’s no need to do this. You may think the clutch will be partially engaged and wearing out, but the system will be sure to disengage the clutch (while keeping first gear pre-selected). Don’t take your foot off the brake when you’re on an incline. The clutch may attempt to hold the vehicle. Unlike in an automatic transmission where you have this slip absorbed by the torque converter, this will directly cause wear on the clutch. Depending on the design, the effects can be even greater with a dry clutch, which has no oil around it. Wet clutches tend to be able to take more heat, however dry clutches are more efficient, robs less power (used on sports bikes), it weighs less, and often requires less maintenance (there’s no clutch fluid, it’s all electronically actuated on Hyundais). For Hyundai, owners are asked to inspect the fluid levels every 37,500 miles on the DCT, but there is no set time to replace fluid. Try not to spend much time inching forward (especially while towing or on steep inclines). Stuck in traffic on a hot day, crawling up an incline at low speeds, or towing. In these scenarios, it’s best to allow yourself enough gap to get up to speed, so the clutch pack can fully engage. At low speeds while partially engaged, the clutch will heat up and can wear faster. It’s never ideal to slip a clutch, but they are designed to take wear and tear. This advice is to simply have the clutch last as long as possible. Upshifting while braking, downshifting while accelerating. Need to understand the logic behind the system to understand why shift delays might occur. For example, driving on the highway, 4th gear, hit the brakes because someone cuts you off. Upshift and it takes longer than usual. Well because you were on the brakes the transmission might have assumed you were going to downshift next. Coming to a light, if it’s red but turns green, the system may have been attempting to disengage the clutch knowing that you were coming to a stop, so there may be a slight delay in getting power. Don’t hold the brake and throttle long if launching the car (launching your car in general is a bad idea for longevity, but if you were to do it, know what’s happening internally). This will cause the clutch to wear, all of the heat from the engine is going into the clutch (if it’s engaged, depending on the car). From Hyundai - “The engine speed should rise and the clutch should go to a stand by position.  The clutch may try to engage and if it identifies no vehicle movement it should reduce the engine speed and hold that speed until the accelerator pedal is released.” And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Similar videos - https://goo.gl/c8hNRa New videos every Wednesday, subscribe here - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 In the service manual for my 1999 Acura Integra, it recommends replacing the engine coolant every 45,000 miles. Before getting started, the first thing you want to do is make sure your temperature control is on maximum heat. For modern cars this is often an electronic control, so you may need to run the car or at least turn the ignition on beforehand to make sure the heater core is opened up. This will ensure that you replace all of the coolant in your car. Before working on the car in any way, it’s critical that the engine and radiator have completely cooled down - you’ll often see a warning for this on the radiator cap.

What Is An Air Suspension? How Do Air Suspension Systems Work? Air Suspensions Part 1 - https://youtu.be/T9YyRJb8Xto Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How does ride height affect spring rate? From a mechanical standpoint, you would want higher spring rates as the vehicle is lowered to the ground to compensate for the loss in suspension travel. Alternatively, you can improve ride quality and grip through increased suspension travel with softer spring rates on vehicles with higher ride heights. It seems that air springs work oppositely, so how is this compensated for? The Ram 1500 has a 10% difference in spring rate from aero-mode (the lowest driven mode) and off-road two (the highest driven mode). How does the system compensate for temperature differences? The system attempts to maintain a certain air mass. Air mass is the product of pressure and volume of all components within the system. One scenario might be driving a truck from Mexico to Canada, but this is a fairly slow temperature change. Let’s say you start your vehicle in a Canadian winter at -20 degrees, and then your engine bay warms up as your engine heats up. This in turn will heat the air springs to a higher temperature, changing the density of the air in the spring and thus increasing its pressure and resulting in a ride height increase in the vehicle In this scenario the system detects the height change occurring and removes air from the air springs to bring the vehicle back to target ride height. What happens if an air spring is ruptured or forms a leak? First of all, it’s important to understand that there are gaiters in place to protect the system, and that the bags themselves are quite robust. The system is designed to handle heavy duty applications. That said, if a rupture were to occur, it would be very similar to a car losing a coil spring. Essentially one corner would lose a spring, and the other three corners would remain unaffected. There’s logic in place to address each individual scenario depending on the circumstances. Do air springs heat up as a result of their compression cycles? Not any major difference between an air or coil spring, the heat generation from the shocks is much more significant than any heat generated by the air springs.. Hysteresis of the air bags is very minimal (energy lost as heat). And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

What Is An Air Suspension? How Do Air Suspension Systems Work? What Is A Magnetic Suspension - https://youtu.be/hiaMpG4Y640 Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 An air suspension simply replaces the springs of a vehicle (whether it be coil, , etc) with air springs. Instead of a coil spring, you have a rubber membrane which is inflated with air, which the vehicle is resting on. The pressurized air is what is holding the vehicle up. This video will compare rolling lobe air springs versus convoluted springs, open versus closed air spring systems, and look at the advantages and disadvantages of air suspension systems. The benefits of an air suspension include: 1. Ingress/Egress: Ram 1500 has a specific mode which lowers the truck as much as possible for getting in or out. It doesn’t drive at speed at this ride height. 2. Off-road use. There are two modes for raising the suspension, which is great for off-road use as it increases the ground clearance, approach angle, breakover angle, and departure angle of the vehicle. 3. Better aerodynamics. The Ram 1500 will automatically lower when driving on the highway to reduce drag and improve fuel economy. 4. Load-leveling. If you put a significant amount of weight in the truck bed, steel springs means the rear will now ride lower. With load leveling the truck will automatically raise the truck bed to the targeted ride height. 5. Improved ride quality. This is a byproduct of how the system behaves. As you increase payload, the system increase pressure to maintain a set ride height. By increasing the pressure, it increases the spring rate. This maintains a fairly constant ride frequency, which means the truck will feel pretty much the same from a comfort standpoint regardless of how much weight it’s carrying. In this scenario, the volume within the airbag remains constant, while the pressure increases with added load. 6. Prevent getting high-centered. Some off-road vehicles equipped with air suspensions will have a mode that lifts the vehicle further than it’s highest ride height in order to allow it to not get stuck. In the event of getting high centered, the vehicle will raise to attempt to allow you to back up off the obstacle. And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

How do you launch an automatic vehicle? How does torque multiplication work? How To Launch A Manual - https://youtu.be/54I5RU-RNhQ Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How do I launch an automatic transmission? The process of launching a manual transmission is straight forward, but there are a few variables you need to adjust for optimizing your speed. 1. Press brake firmly with your left foot. 2. Apply throttle, holding the RPM at a desired speed. 3. Release the brake pedal. 4. Modulate the throttle as necessary to control wheel spin. One of the impressive facts about automatic transmissions is that they are able to multiply torque through the torque converter, meaning you can use a lower RPM than a manual transmission vehicle and achieve the same initial acceleration. This is a result of a torque converter's stator, which redirects the transmission fluid flow leaving the turbine and entering the impeller, which sacrifices efficiency and speed for greater torque.

TPMS Product Link - http://amzn.to/1TFqL6c Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Lets Answer Four Questions About Tire Pressure: 1. How does tire pressure change with temperature? 2. How does tire pressure affect tire grip? 3. How does tire pressure affect fuel economy? 4. How does tire pressure affect tire wear? Modern cars come equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems, but the feature is much more rare on older cars. Fortunately, there’s a clever solution, as I heard about this Steelmate tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) from ChrisFix, and it’s something you can easily install on nearly any car. The system works by placing a pressure transducer at each tire, and then this information is wirelessly sent to a receiver unit, which plugs into the power outlet and displays each tire’s pressure. The system can even inform you if you have an air leak in a tire. Big thanks to Steelmate Co. LTD for sponsoring the video, all opinions are my own!

How does wireless charging work? How does the BMW i8 Formula E pace car wirelessly charge? Wireless charging works by taking advantage of the fact that if you put a current through a wire coil, then that coil will create a magnetic field. If you then place another coil set directly over that coil, the magnetic field created by the first coil will induce a current in the second coil. Typically this will be done with an alternating current, so the magnetic field of the first coil will switch back and forth, inducing an alternating current in the second coil. With no physical connection, you’re able to supply a current to charge a device.

Can a tire have high grip and a low rolling resistance? I talk with Michelin at the Shell Eco-marathon Americas to find out! When it comes to designing for efficiency, there are five major forces which a vehicle needs to overcome: aerodynamics, internal friction, gravity, inertia, and finally, rolling resistance. Rolling resistance is the energy consumed by a tire as it travels over a specific distance. Energy is lost as heat when the tire deforms on the road, creating the contact patch, and then returns to its original state as the tire continues to rotate. How much energy is lost is a result of the tire’s hysteresis. The goal is to reduce rolling resistance while still maintaining grip. Silica compounds, first invented by Michelin, have low energy losses in the low frequency range, meaning low rolling resistance, but high energy losses in the high frequency range, meaning they have high grip. As a result, it truly is possible to have tires which exhibit low rolling resistance and yet all the while high levels of grip. Michelin is one of many partners that plays an important role in the Shell Eco-marathon, dedicating a manufacturing plant for two days per year just for making the ultra-low rolling resistance tires used by the teams. The Shell Eco-Marathon is a competition where students around the globe compete to design, build, and test vehicles with the goal of creating a vehicle that goes the furthest distance using as little energy as possible.

How To Change & Inspect Spark Plugs. How to change spark plugs in an inline four cylinder engine. Changing plugs in a 1999 Acura Integra is a fairly simple job, however there are some tips along the way worth understanding. There’s several things you’ll want to look for while inspecting spark plugs. The electrode may be worn out, you may often see it rounded rather than flat. You want to check the plug gap, using a simple tool. For my car the recommended gap is 1.1 mm, you can check your owners manual for this information. You want to look for oil fouling or carbon deposits around the spark plug tip. It’s also a good idea to inspect the gasket where the plug seals with the head, and make sure the electrode insulator is not cracked. It’s important to replace the plugs with what the manufacturer recommends. NGK recommends not using any anti-seize compounds on the plugs, as the lubricant may cause the installer to over torque the plug. The NGK plugs have a zinc shell plating that is designed to prevent seizure to the cylinder head, as well as prevent corrosion. Often plugs with a shiny appearance have a special coating, thus not requiring the use of anti-seize. Cheaper plugs with a darkened or dull appearance typically will not have a special plating, and in this case it is recommended to use anti-seize.

The Engineering Behind Formula E - How It Works. How does a Formula E car work? We’ll be breaking down the science and strategy behind the battery, the motor, the transmission, the tires, the aerodynamics, the suspension, the brakes and regen, the cooling system, and of course the very unique aspect of the sport of having two cars per driver, swapped mid race. The 170 kW (approximately 230 HP) electric motor used in season 1 of Formula E was developed originally for the McLaren P1 supercar, and at its development it had the greatest power density of any automotive electric motor in the world, with 8 kW per kg. The regulations are now open, so teams can use more than one motor if they’d like, and develop the motors themselves. While the power output can never exceed 170 kW during a race, you can alter the efficiency of the motor, meaning you’ll be able to run flat out longer than other teams if your motor is more efficient. With the weight of the car, including the driver, at just 900 kg (or under 2000 lbs), the cars can hit 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds.

My car cranks but won't start. Driving home in my 1999 Acura Integra the engine suddenly shut off. After pulling to the curb, the car would crank but it could not start. This video will go through the troubleshooting process of determining why the car wouldn't start. When there's no spark at the plugs, it's important to check the wires, ignition coil (ignitor), ignition control module, and the distributor for any issues. This will show how to change a distributor.

2016 Jeep Cherokee - Deep Snow & Off-Road Review. The 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4X4 with Jeep Active Drive II features a 3.2L V6 engine and a 9 speed automatic transmission, with hill descent control and an off-road suspension. The Select Terrain system allows for choosing between Auto, Snow, Sport, and Mud/Sand, altering the way the vehicle performs to handle different scenarios. There is a rear axle disconnect, meaning 100% of the torque up front, and the vehicle is capable of sending 100% of the torque to the rear. Snow mode prefers a 60/40 F/R torque split, while sport mode's the opposite with a 40/60 F/R torque split. A brake lock differential uses the brake to try and mimic a locking differential, reducing wheel slip to allow more torque to be sent the wheel with the most traction.

Always Depress The Handbrake Button? Should you always press the button when applying the parking brake? Will the parking brake wear out if you don't press the button? What's the best way to apply the emergency brake? Will not pressing the handbrake button cause it to wear out? Let's look at how parking brakes work, to better understand why the mechanism will not wear out. Wear results when two objects contact one another at different speeds. This generates heat, and heat accelerates wear. With a parking brake, the speed difference and heat generation is so minimal that wear is not something to be concerned with. This is why you'll still hear the ratcheting mechanism on foot brakes, as well as socket wrenches.

How do piston rings work? What is blowby? Why are there three piston rings? What do each of the piston rings do? Typically there are three piston rings, and they serve three major purposes. They keep combustion gases from entering the crankcase, oil from the crankcase from entering the combustion chamber, and they aid in heat transfer between the piston and the cylinder walls. The video details these processes, and also sheds light on how blowby occurs, and what happens when piston rings are worn out.

Gasoline Vs Diesel - 4 Major Differences. What's the difference between gasoline and diesel engines? Gasoline engines attempt to keep the compression ratio so that the air-fuel mixture does not rise above the self-ignition temperature. Diesel engines on the other hand use higher compression ratios, leading to more torque and better fuel economy. Diesel engines typically do not have throttles, and they have much larger operating air-fuel ratios. How each of these systems perform engine braking is also very different, especially the "jake brake" used by larger diesel engines.

How do turbochargers wastegates work? What is the difference between internal and external wastegates? Is an external wastegate better than internal? What are the advantages of internal vs external wastegates? Why are wastegates needed in turbocharger applications? Wastegates are essentially bypass valves for exhaust gases to reroute around the exhaust turbine in the event that a peak desired boost is reached to limit the amount of boost an engine creates. The wastegate can be internal to the turbocharger housing, or it can be external. Internal turbos are great for OEM applications, but external wastegates allow for more flexibility with the overall design, and can result in a more productive turbocharger as they can route the exhaust gases further away from the turbo housing.

Do rotary engines have VTEC? As far back as the rotary engine in the 1985 Mazda RX-7, rotary engines have had variable induction systems for greater power at higher RPM, and a more efficient burn at lower RPM. At low RPM in the 13B Wankel engine, only two intake ports are open for each rotor housing. At higher RPM when the engine load is higher, a third intake port opens up to allow for greater airflow. With more airflow, more fuel can be injected, and thus the car will create more power. The Mazda RX-8 uses a three stage variable induction system which further improves upon this idea. At low RPM, only one port is open. At mid RPM, an additional port opens for greater airflow, and at high RPM, 3 ports open for maximum airflow and power.

4 Reasons Why The Rotary Engine Is Dead. The Wankel engine was last seen in a production car in the Mazda RX-8, and currently there are no rotary engines in production. Mazda may bring it back in the RX Vision, however there are many disadvantages to the rotary engine which has kept it from being successful. Rotary engines have a low thermal efficiency as a result of a long combustion chamber and unburnt fuel making it to the exhaust. They also have problems with rotor sealing as a result of uneven temperatures in the combustion chamber since combustion only occurs in one portion of the engine. Oil consumption is also a problem, as oil is injected to add lubrication and help keep the rotor sealed. Finally, emissions are poor and fuel economy is terrible, and ultimately this is the cause of it’s death.

How do rotary engines work? How does a Wankel engine work? Rotary engines only have three moving parts, an eccentric shaft, and two rotors. The engine works very similarly in principle to a piston-cylinder engine, with intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust occurring within the combustion chamber which is somewhat oval shaped. As the rotor spins around, it rotates the eccentric shaft sending power to the transmission. There are many advantages to this design. First off, there are only three moving parts, making it a very simple design. There are no reciprocating parts, and this leads to an ability to rev high as the engine does not need to be concerned with valve float. Also as a result of only having rotational parts, the engine has very little vibration. Power delivery is also very smooth, and rotary engines pack a lot of power into a very compact design.

Why are 4 valves per cylinder better than 2 valves per cylinder? Is DOHC better than OHV? 4 valves per cylinder allows for more airflow than 2 valves per cylinder, as there is larger open area when the valves are open. Having a configuration with DOHC and four valves per cylinder means better airflow, especially at high engine speeds, resulting in better top end power. Though it is possible to run 4 valves per cylinder with a pushrod setup (OHV), it's far more common to run 2 valves due to the complication of the packaging requirements associated with a four valve setup. The main advantages of a multi-valve head is that it allows for more airflow through greater coverage, placement of the spark plug in the center of the head for better flame propagation leading to greater efficiency, and it greatly reduces valve float at higher RPM through the use of smaller, lighter valves with less reciprocating inertia. With the prevention of valve float, engines can rev higher and produce more power. The advantages of two valves per cylinder is a reduction of parts, thus saving cost and complexity. The design also tends to be better for low and mid range torque as the airflow is faster at these engine speeds as a result of a more restricted flow. Also, OHV engines allow for central placement of the camshaft within the V of V8 engines, meaning a smaller package and lower CG.

Aston Martin Factory Tour - How Supercars Are Born. Following the build of Aston Martin Vantage, DB9, Rapide, and Vanquish in the Aston Martin Gaydon Headquarters. It all starts with the chassis, an extruded aluminum architecture, to which bonding adhesives as well as NVH materials are added. Foam is used to fill the structure to cancel out noise and vibration, and NVH materials, seen in silver with a wavy cut, are placed in key locations such as the around the torque tube and rear transaxle to cut down on vibration. The material is similar to a putty, with the idea of cutting down chassis vibration from the road but still allowing for the exhaust note to penetrate through. As the build continues, body panels begin to find there way onto the chassis. Depending on the particular Aston Martin, materials range from aluminum and steel on the Vantage to a full carbon fiber body on the Vanquish. Here we can see the roof being added on. An adhesive is used to bond it to the body, the machine shown is applying heat to assist in the bonding process. Moving along, additional panels are added on. Here we can see the cleverly named James Bonder, one of the few robots in the building that applies an adhesive agent to the panels before they’re bonded to the car. James Bonded that is. To ensure a strong bond, the workers must ensure that within 20 minutes after the adhesive has been laid down, the panel is attached to the car. This is the case because the adhesive starts to cure on the outside. Once all of the panels are added, the body is ready to be painted. Various layers are sprayed on to all of the body panels at the same time to ensure the paint perfectly matches. The shell is then staged to allow for the paint finish to cure. With the body painted, wire harnesses, NVH material, and essentially everything the customer will never see starts to get added in. The body is prepped to later marry with the drivetrain. You’ll notice covers all over the body to ensure the paint isn’t damaged during this process. To install the dash, the doors are removed and a mechanical arm is used to line it up and simplify the install. Shortly after, the windshield finds its way onto the vehicle. A bonding agent is applied by a robot prior to securing the glass in place. Separately, the drivetrain is assembled together. This starts with the engine which attaches to the torque tube, made of either magnesium or aluminum, and connects up with the rear transmission and differential. This is also where the suspension is assembled, all of the control arms, shocks and springs, roll bars, and of course the carbon ceramic brakes. The suspension assembly joins the drivetrain to later attach with the rest of the body. Once the drivetrain assembly is complete, the process continues to the marriage station. Here the chassis comes forward and the running gear is raised from underneath, and the whole thing is bolted together as one structure. The vehicle is lowered, and then the front bumper is installed. Wheels and seats are among the final components installed as the interior is fleshed out. The leather used is sourced from the UK, and its possible to have virtually any logo or design stitched in to customize the interior. With the build nearly complete, the vehicle undergoes a thorough paint inspection, where a white glove is ran over the paint finish to ensure there are no defects. The car spends about two hours here, and there are various lighting booths to view the paint how it will be seen in different regions around the world. For example, the booth on the right is similar to a Japanese gas station, and the frequency of the lights can also be altered to mimic other locations. One of the very last steps as the car undergoes its final checklist to make sure everything is in order, the Aston Martin badge is placed onto the hood. Not too long after the vehicle is ready to be shipped out for delivery to its final destination. Of course, that’s where the real fun begins as your ears are filled with the exhaust roar, in this case from all twelve cylinders. And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid Review & Test Drive + How EGHR Works. The 2016 Malibu Hybrid matches a 1.8L engine with two electric motors, for a combined 182 horsepower. It features a lot of cool technology enhancing fuel economy, hence a GM estimated 48 mpg city and 45 highway mpg rating. Efficiency features include exhaust gas heat recovery, which takes exhaust gas heat and uses it to warm the engine initially, and can be used to heat the cabin, which is especially helpful in cold climates. It also has another heat exchanger for the exhaust gas recovery system to cool the exhaust gas before it goes back into the combustion chamber. The hybrid technology is similar to that used in the Volt. The Malibu features Apple Car Play and Android Auto, simplifying the ability to use your phone on the infotainment system. The Malibu also offers a new teen driving mode, enabling all safety features and requiring the seatbelt to be buckled in order for music to play, and provides parents with a "report card" thanks to a system that integrates with the key fob. 2016 Chevy Malibu 1.5L/2.0L - https://youtu.be/B3F3qiZ79e0 And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

Variable Geometry Turbochargers and Twin Scroll Turbochargers each have their own unique advantages, but what if you could combine the technology together? Borgwarner has developed a turbocharger concept where a twin scroll turbocharger has a valve which can redirect exhaust airflow into just a single scroll, or vary the amount the valve opens and allow for the gases to completely split between the two scrolls. The disadvantage of variable geometry turbochargers is that they are too expensive for gasoline applications because the materials have to be strong enough to withstand the high exhaust temperatures resulting from gasoline combustion. Diesel applications tend to have lower exhaust temperatures so the technology is far more common with diesel engines. By implementing a valve with the twin scroll turbo, it can act very similarly without worrying about exotic materials to make it work in gasoline engines.

7 Reasons Not To Buy The 2016 Subaru WRX STI. The Subaru WRX STI is an amazing car, but it does have its disadvantages. The engine (EJ257) is dated, tracing its ancestry back to 2004, with total horsepower relatively unchanged. All of the power is on the top end, there's fairly significant turbo lag, and the fuel economy is terrible. Cargo space and the fuel tank are smaller than the previous generation's hatchback, and with the new WRX performing almost equally well on the street, it's hard to justify the extra expense. Most importantly, with the 2016 Ford Focus RS around the corner, it's promising more power, less weight, and an equivalent price. Certainly worth checking out before writing a $40k check.

2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang - Engineering Review. The Shelby GT350 Mustang features a 5.2L flat-plane V8 engine producing 526 horsepower, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated road-going engine in Ford History. Not only that, thanks to the new flatplane crankshaft, it’s also the highest revving production V8 engine in Ford history, screaming all the way to an 8250 RPM redline. Related Videos: Flatplane Crankshafts Explained: https://youtu.be/_TssXF8yQek Flatplane vs Crossplane Sound: https://youtu.be/-s5bSQIQQsY One of the most critical upgrades, the power plant was of course heavily focused on. Ford spent a lot of time optimizing airflow for the new 5.2 liter. We’ll start with the crankshaft and work our way up. Unlike traditional V8 engine’s of Ford’s past, the new one features a flat plane crankshaft. As you can see, this means all of the counterweights align within a 180 degree angle, and as such at any time half of the pistons are on their way up, while half are on their way down, exactly 180 degrees apart. What this does is it allows the engine firing order to alternate between each cylinder bank. Left side, then right side, left side, then right side, as opposed to a cross plane crankshaft. This evens out the exhaust pulses, improving scavenging, and ultimately vastly improving how the engine breathes. Moving on the to cylinders, the GT350 block widens the bore a couple millimeters versus the 5.0 Coyote, giving it a total displacement of 5.2 liters. More displacement means more power, but that’s not the only benefit of increasing the bore. With a larger surface area to work with, the GT350 can employ larger intake valves, and it can keep a larger gap between the intake valve and the cylinder block, allowing for significantly improved airflow. Before the intake valves, work has been done to the intake ports as well. The 5.0 block has cast ports, and so the efficiency of the design is limited by the manufacturing process. With the 5.2, they’ve used CNC to port the heads, and though it’s more costly, it allows for a much more precise design, so the design of the ports has been improved for enhance airflow. It’s important to note here that the surface finish isn’t the critical component here, it’s the ability to design a more efficient port based on a superior manufacturing method. All of the airflow changes mentioned, as well as raising the compression ratio to 12:1, allow for the 5.2 to produce 526 horsepower, an impressive 102 horsepower per liter, the most power dense naturally aspirated Ford engine in a road car to date. The improvements to the GT350 certainly aren’t limited to the engine. There’s new aero work for enhanced cooling beneath the car, as well as a rear differential cooler for the TORSEN limited slip diff at the back. Keeping the cooler at the rear of the car means shorter coolant routing, saving weight and complexity. There’s also extensive use of aluminum in the suspension, and surprisingly the base GT350 only weighs 55 lbs heavier than the base GT Mustang. Another first for the Mustang, the 350 makes use of a magnetic suspension, with damping alterations which can be made at any corner ever 7 milliseconds. Massive brakes, wide tires, and a stiff chassis finish it all out. Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe! And don't forget to check out my other pages below!

In winter driving you may see sand bags in the back of pickup trucks used for more grip. Can adding weight to a car really improve acceleration? Let's do the math and find out! There are several important factors to consider when adding weight to a car. First, the placement of the weight is critical. The weight should be added as far back as possible if the vehicle is RWD, and adding weight should only be done with 2WD vehicles in conditions where there is not enough traction to accelerate. Most FWD vehicles will be fine, as the weight of the engine causes the weight distribution to favor the front. It's also important to know that this only helps in situations where you are traction limited, and adding weight when you do not have enough power to brake the tires free will only result in worse acceleration, handling, braking, and fuel economy.

Will adding wheel spacers to a Subaru BRZ improve handling through increased grip? The idea is that by increasing the car's track, you reduce load transfer and thus have a more evenly distributed load, resulting in more grip. This video looks at the math behind doing so, to determine if adding wheels spacers is worth it. This video is made as the second part to my video on wheel spacers, which should be watched prior to this. You can apply the equations used to your own car!

Are wheel spacers safe? Are wheel spacers a good idea? Integra Wheel Spacers - http://amzn.to/24hwrIo Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 How will wheel adapters affect handling? What effects will wheel spacers have on suspension geometry? Wheel spacers can help with fitting big brake kits, altering wheel offset if aftermarket wheels are used, and can widen a car's track, thus reducing load transfer and ideally improving handling. That said, wheel spacers affect suspension geometry, and will change the scrub radius, affecting braking stability, and also reduce the effective spring rate at the wheels. Wheel spacers can also cause wheel bearing failure.

0-60 Time Testing - Does The Downhill Grade Matter? In my 0-60 time pulls I typically record the acceleration at an on-ramp which has a slight downhill grade. In order to see how much this affects my times, I decided to run a test. Based on this testing, my times are accurate with 4-5%, which is pretty good considering weather, traction, and shift times could easily account for a 5% difference. I'm not aiming to post the worlds most scientific, fastest, and definitive 0-60 times, rather just something that can be used as a ballpark figure for a car's acceleration. I chose to use the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL S-AWC to run this test for three main reasons. 1. The vehicle has AWD so I do not have to worry about wheel slip interfering with the 60 times. 2. The vehicle is low powered, so the 60 time will be long, allowing for better accuracy in determining a difference in times. This also helps prevent wheel spin. (166 HP I4 Engine) 3. The vehicle has a CVT transmission. This will eliminate any shift time bias that could result from other transmission styles. Effect Of Gravity: Because the vehicle is slow, gravity will have a larger impact on the time than if the vehicle accelerated more quickly. Imagine a car on a downhill slope. You start timing, but don't touch the gas at all. Eventually, the car may roll to 60 mph if the incline is steep enough and air/friction resistance is low enough. Here, gravity accounts for 100% of the 60 time. Now imagine the same scenario, but with a very fast car. It accelerates to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Gravity has played a very small role (as a percentage) for this car to accelerate. Hence, slower cars will have a greater impact than faster cars based on the slope of this on ramp.

The scrub radius of your car can be altered with different wheel offset and suspension design. This will affect how the tire contact patch interacts with the road during cornering, braking, and acceleration, and can cause unique toe characteristics depending on the design. A positive scrub radius tends to be beneficial while braking into a turn. A negative scrub radius tends to better for braking stability in the event of brake failure or split-mu braking. Typically the scrub radius is configured to be as small as possible to minimize the effects under braking, but squirm (from zero scrub radius) is also undesirable.

2016 Mazda Mazda6 I Grand Touring Review. The 2016 Mazda Mazda 6 is a mid-size sedan capable of 40 mpg on the highway. The Mazda6 is powered by a SkyActiv gasoline 2.5L engine producing 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque, routed through a 6 speed automatic transmission to the front tires. Features include 19 inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing windshield wipers, heated side mirrors, heated front seats, rear lip spoiler, 8-way power drivers seat, leather-trimmed sport seats, bluetooth, paddle shifters, rearview camera, advanced keyless entry, 60/40 split folding rear seats, Bose 11 speaker sound system, heads up display, LED daytime running, fog, and taillights, power moonroof, Mazda Radar cruise control, I-ELOOP, lane departure warning, and active grill shutters. The Mazda6 has many superlatives as far as how efficient this vehicle is in comparison to all of the other vehicles which I’ve tested. First off, it has the highest highway fuel economy rating of any of the purely gasoline vehicles which I’ve tried out, at 40 miles per gallon. This also gives it the second highest range of any vehicle I’ve tested, at over 650 miles assuming 40 miles per gallon. At an estimated $1,400 per year, it has the lowest annual fuel cost of any non-hybrid vehicle I’ve tested. It’s the most aerodynamic vehicle I’ve tested to date, tying with the GT-R’s 0.26 drag coefficient, however having a smaller frontal area. This is also accomplished with better than average ground clearance for a sedan, at 6.7 inches. The Mazda6, along with the MX-5, has the highest compression ratio of any gasoline engine I’ve tested at 13:1, however unlike the Miata the 6 only recommends regular octane fuel. Finally, the Mazda has the best smog rating of any vehicle I’ve tested, scoring a 9 out of 10, meaning very low nitrogen oxide or hydrocarbon emissions.

2016 Nissan GT-R NISMO - N Attack Package Review - Dominate The Nurburgring. The Nissan GT-R set a lap record at the infamous Nurburgring posting a time of just over 7 minutes, 8 seconds in 2013. How did the GT-R manage to maintain an average speed of 107 mph for just under 13 consecutive miles? Well they did it using the parts they’re now offering in the NISMO N Attack Package. Let’s brake this down into the various sections which received upgrades, starting with the engine and powertrain. The engine for this unit uses a unique dedicated ECM for proper tuning, carbon fiber intercooler piping, a steel plate mechanical 1.5 way mechanical limited slip front differential, and a 2 way carbon plate mechanical rear differential. The difference between the 1.5 way and 2 way differentials is that a 2 way will provide more locking pressure under deceleration. Moving on to the suspension and brakes, it’s important to understand the Nurburgring is a long, fast track with lots of heavy braking, and a fair amount of rough areas. Hence the GT-R N Attack features Ohlins height adjustable and four way damping adjustable shocks, similar to what is used on the GT3 Nissan GT-R. There are also upgraded sway bars, as well as an altered friction material for the front brake pads in order to deal with the high amount of heat rejection required for the ring. As far as the exterior, of course downforce is a must when you’re traveling at high speeds to maintain grip and stability. In the back is a dry carbon fiber wing with a two-point height adjustment mechanism, and a 12-point angle regulating mechanism, allowing for corrections to downforce and aerodynamics on the go. They’ve also added carbon front fenders, and a rubber front spoiler. Finally, on the interior, the GT-R is fitted with carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats as well as a carbon fiber bulkhead in place of the rear seats. So how much does all of this cost? Well Nissan has split it up into two packages, package A and package B, with Package A including all of the Nurburgring parts shown. For package A, it’s as much as $98,000, meaning you’re suddenly in a quarter of a million dollar Nissan GT-R considering the base price of about $150k for the standard NISMO GT-R. Perhaps a hard pill to swallow considering you could buy two base GT-Rs for the same price as the Nurburgring edition, but it’s impressive nonetheless just how fast this car can be.

How does the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo's S-AWC system work? How does the active center differential work? How does the active yaw control work? What are the different drive modes such as tarmac, gravel, and snow for? What is the torque split of the center differential? The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution features a sophisticated AWD system, using an active center differential to split torque between the front and rear, a helical limited slip differential for the front axle, and active yaw control in the rear as a result of a torque vectoring differential.

How adaptive cruise control works. Adaptive cruise control is one of the first steps in moving towards autonomous driving vehicles, as it allows the vehicle to regulate speed and braking on the highway to maintain a set following interval behind the detected car ahead. This video will look at how Honda implements this system on their vehicles, as well as how Collision Mitigation Braking Systems work. Both systems rely on a millimeter wave radar as well as a monocular camera to detect objects ahead. So how does adaptive cruise control work? The primary purpose of the system is to travel at the speed selected by the driver, just like traditional cruise control. However, if the vehicle detects another car in front of it that is traveling at a slower speed, the vehicle will reduce its speed to match that of the detected car and a then maintain a selected interval behind the car. The system works by emitting radar waves which bounce off of vehicles ahead and return to the unit. This informs the system of the distance between the two vehicles; changes in that distance inform the system of the vehicles’ relative speeds. So how does the Collision Mitigation Braking System work? The goal of the system is to alert the driver if a collision with a detected vehicle is likely, and then to apply the brakes to reduce the severity of a collision if it’s unavoidable. The system scans up to 330 feet of the road in front of the vehicle, and works in three stages if the driver begins to come close to a vehicle detected ahead. This is a sponsored video created by me on behalf of Honda. The opinions stated are all mine.

The 2016 Kia Sedona. The best review of a minivan. The Kia Sedona packs 7 or 8 people, features a V6 engine with 6 speed transmission, and has plenty of torque for hauling all of your stuff. Features are endless: heated and vented front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree camera system, keyless push button start, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, automatic power windows all around, power lift gate, tri-zone climate control, front and rear parking assist, chrome wheels, nappa leather seat trim, driver seat position memory, yes it’s got it all. But what else can the Kia offer? How about reclining rear seats? The only other vehicle I’ve had this nice of a seating position in the rear seats is a $200,000 Maybach S600. Dual sunroofs. Well what if you’d like to chauffeur and want the ability to open and close the doors for the rear passengers? Yep, you can do that. It also features a completely hands free power liftgate. You simply stand next to the back with the key in your pocket, and it opens up for you, no fumbling required. When you put the car in reverse, on top of the ridiculous number of cameras and available views, the side mirrors automatically tilt downward to help with backing up or parallel parking. While I'm not saying the Kia Sedona is the best minivan out there, it certainly does have an abundance of features and offer a nice, compliant ride. I set out with the goal of creating the most interesting minivan review ever. Undoubtably not that challenging, since competition is rather... mundane.

The 2016 Acura ILX is an entry-level luxury sedan with an innovative transmission, great fuel economy, and a solid audio system. Under the hood is a 2.4L inline four cylinder engine with i-VTEC producing 201 horsepower at 6800 RPM and 180 lb-ft of torque at 3800 RPM. One of the ways they were able to increase low end torque was by using a dual-stage intake manifold. There’s a set of four butterfly valves which are used to actuate the process. At low RPM, the air travels through a long set of runners, improving low end torque. At higher RPM, the system switches over to a short set of intake runners for increased high end power. This works in combination with the VTEC system, where at engine speeds above 4900 RPM the intake system shifts to a high lift, long-duration cam profile for more top end power. Engine torque is sent through an 8-speed dual clutch transmission to the front wheels. Plenty of convenience and luxury features as well: - Navigation - Adaptive Cruise Control - Collision Mitigation Braking System - Dual zone climate control - Lane Keep Assist - 10 Speaker ELS Sound System - Rear View Camera MSRP As Tested: $35,810 Related Videos Dual Clutch Transmission - https://youtu.be/oOciX6kdexE DSG - https://youtu.be/mj1Vk7SE-TI Torque Converter - https://youtu.be/QIobzoSGhy4 Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

What gives the Subaru WRX STI its iconic boxer exhaust rumble? What's the difference between equal length headers and unequal length headers? What are the advantages of equal length headers? The reason the WRX STI sounds so unique is due to the unequal length headers. The exhaust pulses do not line up evenly before entering a single exhaust pipe to exit to the rear. The uneven exhaust pulses result in a fluttering sound rather than a smooth even exhaust note which is characteristic of equal length exhaust headers. This is very similar to crossplane crankshaft V8's versus flatplane crankshaft V8's, where flatplanes have a much smoother tone.

Stretched tires are a bad idea. Though it may save money, look cool, or give your car special powers, ultimately it's going to reduce performance. By decreasing the contact patch you'll reduce grip, or you could use wider wheels which will increase weight, rotational inertia, and aerodynamic drag. You'll be losing wheel horsepower, increasing the amount of braking required, and be more likely to run onto the tire's sidewalls.

How water methanol injection works. Water methanol injection is used typically on high powered vehicles to assist with reducing the likelihood of knock, and thus allowing for higher compression ratios, more timing advance, and higher boost. Typically mixes are 50/50, with both water and methanol playing important but different roles to help aid in producing more power. Ultimately, the power comes from tuning as running water/meth essentially raises the octane level of the fuel used. There are production cars which have used this in the past.

The 2016 Subaru WRX STI versus the 2015 Mitsubishi EVO X MR. Though the real winner is likely the 2016 Ford Focus RS, the battle between the EVO and STI was seemingly going to be a never ending debate. That is until Mitsubishi announced 2015 is the final model year for the Lancer Evolution. Both of these cars feature turbocharged four cylinder engines producing around 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. They both have sophisticated AWD systems with active center differentials and helical limited slip differentials for the front axle. The Mitsubishi features a torque vectoring rear differntial, while the Subaru employs a Torsen style limited slip diff. Both have immense traction in nearly any condition with the right tires. The STI’s many small victories make it the champion. Less weight with more power, a more adaptable driving position, sharp short-ratio steering, a much nicer interior and infotainment system, more cargo space, a longer range on each tank of gas, and a wonderful 6 speed manual transmission. But if we’re being honest, there are no winners here. With the death of the EVO, Subaru was able to be more conservative on the design of the new STI, with power levels relatively unchanged since 2004. So here’s to the new Ford Focus RS for bringing competition back to the AWD hot hatch segment.

How much camber is too much? When getting a wheel alignment, what should camber be set to for performance driving? A slight amount of negative camber can increase the amount of lateral grip a car has at the limit, though too much negative camber can result in uneven tire wear, reduced grip, and premature tire failure.

Does a spoiler on a front wheel drive car do anything? Why would a FWD vehicle have a rear wing? There are many reasons a spoiler or rear wing can be beneficial, regardless of which tires are driven. A car with a proper rear wing will be able to corner faster, brake faster, and can have reduced lift.

The difference between unibody and body-on-frame vehicles is fairly straight forward. Unibody vehicles have the chassis and body of the car together. A body on frame vehicle has a frame which the vehicle stresses pass through, and the body of the car rests on top of this. Unibodies are more rigid due to the forces spreading over the entire vehicle, and because of this can also use less material and are lighter. This means better fuel economy, handling, acceleration and deceleration. Body on frame vehicles allow for better NVH, as the body can be isolated separately from the frame. They are also modular, allowing for various bodies to use the same frame. Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

Are stainless steel brake lines better? What are the advantages of steel brake lines? What are the disadvantages of rubber brake lines? The reason people buy steel braided brake lines typically comes down to looks, perceived quality, durability in harsh environments, and firmer brake pedal feel. Rubber brakes, on the other hand, can also have a firm brake feel, are cheaper and effective, are not abrasive, and are easier to inspect.

What is the racing line? Why is it important to hit the apex? The racing line attempts to make the largest diameter turning radius in order to minimize lateral g's on the vehicle, thus allowing for greater driving speeds. The idea is to try to make the track into as straight of a line as possible. The math backs this up.

How to change your oil with synthetic oil. Changing your oil is probably the most important maintenance item for the longevity of your car. It needs to be done regularly at mileage or time intervals (whichever comes first) to keep your car running properly (check your individual owners manual for service intervals). Though it can be done in shops cheaply, by doing it yourself you can ensure you use a quality oil and a quality oil filter, and that it's done right. Follow these 15 steps to change your oil, which I'll be doing on my 1999 Acura Integra using Pennzoil Platinum synthetic motor oil. This video is brought to you by Pennzoil, all opinions are completely my own. Related Videos Lift Car Onto Jack Stands - https://youtu.be/t6TRIRaAZwY Motor Oil Myths - https://youtu.be/Se8-W7rK0H4 Fuel & Oil Development - https://youtu.be/pUr7-Ug1Uqc 15 Step Procedure To Change Your Oil #DIYOilChange 1. If the car has run recently, the oil will drain faster since it is warm. Be careful not to touch anything hot. 2. Put the car up on jack stands (I have a separate video explaining how to do this I will link in the video description). Make sure the vehicle is stable, do this on flat ground. Be sure to place chocks behind the rear wheels. 3. Locate the drain plug on the oil pan. Check the owners manual if you’re not sure where this is. Place a drain tub underneath the drain plug. Unscrew the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain into the pan. Be careful as the oil will be hot. 4. Once oil has stopped draining, remove the oil filter. Unscrew it slightly at first to allow oil to drain out (this may require a special tool depending on how tight it is, you can rent these at your local auto parts shop). 5. After oil has stopped draining from the loosened filter, you can remove it. Dump the excess oil in the filer into the pan. 6. Use a small amount of oil and rub it on the oil gasket of the new filter. Also ensure the rubber gasket from the old oil filter is not stuck to the car. 7. Screw the new oil filter on. After the rubber seal seats, tighten the oil filter 7/8th of a clockwise turn per the service manual. You can also use a torque of 16 lb-ft per the service manual. 8. Screw down the drain bolt, making sure to replace the (14 mm) crush washer located between the pan and the bolt. For an Integra, torque to 33 lb-ft per service manual. 9. Clean any oil that may remain on the car off from the drain plug or oil filter. Oil could drip on the exhaust and burn off. 10. Pull the drain tub out from under the car, and lower the car back down. 11. Unscrew the oil fill cap, and add the recommended quantity and type (4.0 quarts of 5W-30; ~3.8L) into the engine. 12. Screw the oil cap back on. 13. Run the car for a few minutes, then shut it off. Check underneath the car for any oil leaks, and address as needed. 14. Be sure to check the oil fill level (using the dipstick) after you’ve run the engine. This will ensure the oil filter is full and you’ve filled the oil to the correct level. Add oil if needed. 15. Dispose of the oil properly. Many auto parts stores or shops will take it and recycle it. Some cities may allow for you to place the oil in a jug at the curb for recycling. This goes for the oil filter as well. 3 Benefits Of Natural Gas Based Oil - Volatility Control: Based on ASTM D5800 testing - Low Temperature Performance: Based on ASTM D4684 MRV TP-1at negative 31 deg F. - Oxidation Stability: Based on ASTM D7528 "ROBO" oxidation test at negative 22 deg F & ASTM D7320 at 212 deg F.

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 features a 6.2L LT1 V8 engine with VVT, direct injection, and cylinder deactivation, producing 460 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque. The question is, is the convertible automatic an acceptable trim configuration? Convertibles tend to add weight to increase the rigidity of the chassis lost by removing the roof. Automatics can dampen the experience and also add weight. How does the Corvette tackle these issues, and does it maintain the Corvette's appeal while doing so?

When replacing your brake pads, you may choose performance brake pads depending on the design intent of your vehicle. Brake pads very widely in quality, with different temperature ranges, wear characteristics, and frictional coefficients. Which brakes pads are best? Depends on your application. Brake pads used for road cars can be quite different from race cars, requiring more cold bite and less top end performance.

What are the best brake calipers? If you need to replace brake calipers, which should you choose? What brake calipers will perform best? The most important part of a brake caliper is its ability to apply pressure to the brake pads. This is done with pistons. Depending on the size of the pistons, number of pistons used, and staggering methods used, brake performance can be increased.

Should I buy the WRX or the STI? Is 2015 Subaru WRX STI better than the standard WRX? The 2015 STI features a 2.5L boxer four producing 305 HP while the 2015 WRX has a more modern 2.0L producing 268 HP and peak torque at a low 2,000 RPM. The WRX is also lighter and achieves better fuel economy, all the while almost identically as fast as the STI. The STI offers additional limited slip diffs, a driver controlled center differential, larger brakes, tighter steering, and a more rigid chassis. Which is best?

Anti-squat suspensions are used to reduce body squat by altering the rear suspension so that the forces resulting from accelerating pass through the control arms and suspension linkage rather than through the coilovers or struts. This is typically done with vehicles with high power to weight ratios. By reducing body squat, the rear wheel geometry will remain more consistent, and the vehicle can maintain a specific ride height which can be beneficial for aerodynamic purposes as well as driver control.

2016 Nissan GT-R NISMO review. The car features a 600 HP 3.8L twin-turbo V6, enhanced aerodynamics, and a Nürburgring developed suspension. The hand built engine features dual overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, plasma sprayed cylinder bores, 9:1 compression ratio, and aluminum block and heads. The engine produces 600 horsepower @ 6,800 RPM, and 481 lb-ft @3200 RPM, with a maximum engine speed of 7000 RPM. This is 55 horsepower and 18 lb-ft over a standard GT-R, thanks in part to large diameter high-flow turbocharges which are also used in GT3 competition. MSRP As Tested: $165,780 The base GT-R Nismo starts at about $150,000, while the MSRP of the car I’m currently testing rings in at $165,780, primarily due to a nearly $13,000 weight-reducing titanium exhaust. Related Videos: 2016 Nissan 370Z NISMO - http://youtu.be/yI9x8nUj0Tg 2016 Nissan Maxima - http://youtu.be/8ci3qQg5KCk 2015 Nissan Murano - https://youtu.be/MffqL9MYbQ4 2015 Nissan Rogue - https://youtu.be/IIgrdzuqpOk 2015 Nissan Juke - https://youtu.be/0ANC3ud0plc The engine torque passes through a 6-speed dual clutch transmission, which can preselect the next highest or next lowest gear for incredibly quick gearshifts. From there it can send up to 100% of the torque to the rear wheels, or as much as 50% to the front wheels depending on speed, lateral acceleration, steering angle, tire slip, surface conditions, and yaw rate. As far as aerodynamics are concerned, the Nismo’s front bumper, engine undercover, and rear spoiler increase downforce, 220 lbs more than the standard GT-R while traveling at 185 mph. The center of pressure is managed well from front to rear to optimize handling, and yet the vehicle maintains the same drag coefficient, 0.26, as the standard GT-R. Up front, lightweight aluminum 20 inch RAYS wheels wrapped in 255/40 Dunlop rubber cover massive 15.35” vented and drilled rotors with Brembo six piston calipers. This is matched with a double wishbone suspension, uniquely tuned for the Nismo with reduced weight and increased roll stiffness. In the rear, wider 285/35 rubber rides around 15 in vented and drilled rotors with Brembo 4 piston calipers. This is matched with an aluminum multi-link suspension.

2015 Subaru WRX STI + COBB Stage 1 Tune Review & Drive Cobb Accessport Product Link - http://amzn.to/1OZJNlF Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2015 Subaru WRX STI features a 2.5L boxer engine producing 305 horsepower. With AWD, limited slip differentials front and rear, and wide tires, it has plenty of available grip. Major changes for the 2015 model year include a more rigid chassis, stiffer suspension, torque vectoring, and a tighter steering ratio. Overall, the changes lead to improved handling and better steering. This particular STI also features a COBB Stage 1 91-octane tune, which improves low end torque and overall power. I also test the 0-60 times before and after reflashing the ECU. Is the 2015 STI better than the 2014, and how does it drive with a tune?

When replacing your brake rotors, you may opt to upgrade to drilled, slotted, or vented rotors. Which brake rotor is best? What brake rotors will perform better? What are the best options for performance brakes? Ultimately, vented disc are great for heat rejection. Slotted rotors can aid in moving debris away from the rotor, and potentially adding a biting surface for the pad to contact. Drilled rotors aren't used in professional racing due to the stress failures they tend to have.

Is it better for a suspension to have soft coil springs or stiff springs? The purpose of a suspension is to keep your tires on the ground. A softer suspension will offer more mechanical grip as it will do a better job of keeping the tires on the ground vs a stiff suspension when it comes to depressions, bumps, and surface irregularities in the road. But then why do race cars have such stiff suspensions? This video explains the design philosophy behind race car suspensions. Related Links (And Hat Tip!)

The body roll of a car is influenced by the distance between the roll center and the center of gravity of the vehicle, The larger this distance, the larger the roll moment, and thus the more body roll the vehicle has. By manipulating the suspension geometry, you can alter the amount of body roll by increasing the height of the roll center and bringing it closer to the center of gravity.

What is the center of pressure? Why is the center of pressure important? How do you alter where the center of pressure is located? In order to have a somewhat neutrally handling vehicle, it is ideal to have the center of pressure and the center of gravity on top of one another. If the center of pressure is too far back, the car will understeer. If the center of pressure is too far forward, the car will oversteer.

How do car diffusers work? Why is a diffuser efficient? Diffusers play a big role in creating efficient downforce with low drag. Diffusers allow low pressure fast moving air under the car to expand and slow down, gradually rejoining atmospheric pressure with a large amount of turbulence and drag.

Starting things off with weight, the FRS weighs less than the base model Subaru, regardless of if it’s auto or manual. 6 lbs less for the manual, 18 for the auto. 2. The FRS also has a better drag coefficient. 0.27 vs .28 for the BRZ with spoiler or .29 for the BRZ without spoiler. The Series.Blue BRZ however does have a drag coefficient of 0.27. 3. According to Eibach, the FRS has slightly softer springs up front and slightly stiffer springs in the rear. All else equal, this would make the FRS slightly less prone to understeer. 4. The FRS offers dealer installed performance options such as larger sway bars in both the front and rear (20.6mm/15.8mm) vs stock (18mm/14mm). Though there probably isn’t any reason why they wouldn’t fit in the BRZ, they aren’t offered as options. 5. The FRS also offers a TRD air intake kit, as well as a TRD exhaust, which I measured to have a 3.6 mm larger outer diameter vs the exhaust on the Subaru. 6. The optional STI wheels for the BRZ weigh approximately 3 lbs lighter than the standard 17” alloys on the FRS. I measured 38.4 lbs vs 41.2 lbs. 7. According to the spec sheets, the Subaru has a slightly smaller turning circle. This may be a difference in how it is measured, as there doesn’t seem to be any mechanical difference between the steering systems. 8. The Subaru BRZ Series.Blue has red brake calipers; hence it is superior. Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

The 2015 Scion FRS (similar to the Subaru BRZ) is a two door RWD coupe with a 2.0L boxer 4 cylinder producing 200 HP. It features a Torsen limited slip differential, a sport tuned suspension, and 215/45 R17 summer performance tires. It's a light weight, purpose built vehicle weighing in just over 2,800 lbs with the automatic transmission. This video will take a look at the exterior, engine and drivetrain, wheels, tires, suspension, interior, features, as well as a quick test drive and summary of the fuel economy and performance.

Shell has released its latest fuel, V-Power Nitro+, which is designed to minimize negative effects from gunk (carbon deposits), corrosion, and wear. They’ve tested their own fuel versus competitive premium gasolines, and have strong claims against the competition. Shell V-Power Nitro+ eliminates on average 60% of carbon deposits on intake valves with port injected vehicles within the first tank. It offers unbeatable protection against gunk and corrosion, and offers superior protection against wear. Shell has hosted me at its labs in Houston and at pre-launch events for Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline. NOTE: Engine valves shown are from direct injection engines. Carbon buildup will be more severe without fuel sprayed over the intake valves. Shell uses industry standard testing to back up its claims, including: ASTM D6201 - http://www.astm.org/Standards/D6201.htm ASTM D7548 - http://www.astm.org/Standards/D7548.htm ASTM D665 - http://www.astm.org/Standards/D665.htm ASTM D6079 - http://www.astm.org/Standards/D6079.htm Related Links: V-Power Info - http://www.shell.us/vpower Humble Mechanic - http://www.youtube.com/HumbleMechanic Related Videos: Motor Oil Myths - https://youtu.be/Se8-W7rK0H4 Trackside Lab Formula 1 - http://youtu.be/6G8XP8L-MFE Shell Technology Center - http://youtu.be/pUr7-Ug1Uqc Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

How do dual mass flywheels work? What is a dual mass flywheel? DMFs have two masses (really!). The first mass is matched with the engine crank, and it transfers engine torque through springs to another mass, which is connected with the transmission (and clutch housing). The goal is to reduce torsional vibration through the drivetrain, which is particularly useful for diesel engines, low idle speeds, and low cylinder counts.

The 2015 Toyota 4Runner 4X4 TRD Pro. This was one of two vehicles entered into the “Extreme Capabilty” category competing in the Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year. With a 4.0L V6 engine producing 270 Horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, it’s competing against the Ram 2500 Power Wagon. Starting with the drawbacks, the Toyota has almost 5 inches less ground clearance than the Power Wagon (though still a respectable 9.6 inches), has only a 5 speed automatic transmission, and is a bit underpowered compared to the Power Wagon. That said, it’s nearly 2000 pounds lighter in weight, is a much smaller vehicle off-road providing improved agility in forested areas, offers a tremendous amount of cargo space, and is $13,000 cheaper than the Power Wagon as tested. It was just shy of winning the competition by a single vote. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 Ram 2500 Power Wagon Crew Cab 4x4. This was one of two vehicles entered into the “Extreme Capabilty” category competing in the Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year. With a 6.4L V8 engine producing 410 Horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, it’s competing against the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. Starting with the drawbacks, it’s nearly two thousand pounds heavier than the Toyota, at 6700 lbs. It’s so large in fact that it’s labeled as a heavy duty vehicle and not required to have an EPA fuel economy rating, so you can imagine how poor of gas mileage it gets. That said, it was the journalists pick against the 4Runner, winning best Extreme Capability vehicle by a single vote. It’s incredibly capable off-road, offers plenty of all-terrain technology, has a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs, a staggering 14.3 inches of ground clearance, and is overall just a monster off the beaten path. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

Off-road and track testing the 2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. This is a pickup from Toyota, featuring a 5.7L V8 engine producing 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford F150, the GMC Canyon, and the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. Starting with the drawbacks, the Tundra is easily the least fuel efficient. With a combined rating of 15 mpg, it’s 5 mpg less than the next lowest competitor, and it’s highway rating is 10 mpg worse than the Ram. It’s by far the heaviest of the group, at just over 5600 lbs, and was more expensive than the Ford or GMC. That said, it offered the highest ground clearance at 10.6 inches, the second best towing capacity at 9800 lbs, and was the most powerful truck in the group. It’s also the most orange truck tested.

Off-road testing the 2015 Ford F-150 4x4 Supercab. This is a pickup from Ford, featuring a 2.7L Turbo V6 engine producing 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, which I’ll be comparing to the GMC Canyon, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, and the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. For many things, the F150 sat towards the middle of the pack. It isn’t the heaviest or the lightest, mid range fuel economy, mid range front head room, and its priced as tested several thousand over the GMC Canyon. That said, it has more ground clearance and horsepower than the Canyon or 1500, and it has the best potential towing capacity, based on trim, at 12,200 lbs, 2,400 lbs more than the next highest competitor. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

Off-road and track testing the 2015 GMC Canyon 4WD SLE Crew Short Box. This is a pickup from GMC, featuring a 3.6L V6 engine producing 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford F150, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, and the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Starting with the drawbacks, the GMC has the least torque of the group, the lowest ground clearance, and has the lowest towing capacity at 7,000 lbs. That said, it’s the lightest weight, rated 24 mpg on the highway, is the lowest cost truck tested, and the handling felt surprisingly good during the airstrip testing. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman Crew Cab 4x4 EcoDiesel. This is a pickup from Ram, featuring a 3.0L diesel V6 engine producing 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford F150, the GMC Canyon, and the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Starting with the drawbacks, the RAM is down on ground clearance and towing capacity compared to the Ford or Toyota, and it’s heavier than the Ford or GMC. It also has the least horsepower of the group, though it does have the most torque. It’s also the most expensive as tested, at just over 50 thousand. That said, the Ram offers the best fuel economy of the group, in fact while off-road testing I was monitoring the instantaneous fuel economy and often saw it reading over 30 mpg. As test the truck is rated 27 mpg on the highway, very impressive for a full size pickup. It also offered two more gears over the competition with an 8 speed automatic. It was the journalist’s pick for top pickup, and it was my personal favorite of the group as well.

The 2015 Volkswagen Touareg TDI Sport. This is a premium SUV from Volkswagen, featuring a 3.0L V6 producing 240 HP and 406 lb-ft of torque, which I’ll be comparing to the Acura MDX, BMW X5 M and X6 M, Cadillac Escalade, and Mercedes ML400. Starting with the drawbacks, the VW is the lowest on power and consequently the last to 60 mph, and it also doesn’t have quite the cargo space as the competitors. That said, the TDI proved to be significantly more efficient than the competition, with a highway rating of 29 mpg. It’s also the cheapest car tested in the group, and despite having the worst power to weight ratio, it’s only off by half a second to 60 mph from the Acura. From a practicality standpoint the Volkswagen is a strong competitor against the other cars tested, which is why it was the second most voted for in this category. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade 4WD Platinum. This is a premium SUV from Cadillac, featuring a 6.2L V8 producing 420 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Acura MDX, BMW X5 M and X6 M, Mercedes ML400, and Volkswagen Touareg. Starting with the drawbacks, the Escalade has a steep $94,000+ sticker as tested, has a pretty poor combined fuel economy rating at 17 mpg, and is easily the heaviest vehicle of the group at 5840 lbs. That said, it offers the most front and rear legroom and headroom, the most cargo space, the highest towing capacity at 8100 lbs, and is on the higher end for ground clearance at 8 inches.

Track testing the 2015 BMW X5M. This is a premium SUV from BMW, featuring a 4.4L V8 producing 567 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Acura MDX, BMW X6 M, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes ML400, and Volkswagen Touareg. Starting with the drawbacks, the BMW comes at a heavy price tag, slightly over 106 thousand. It’s fairly heavy, so as you can expect with an engine this potent, fuel economy is quite poor at 16 mpg combined rating. That said, it’s track performance is incredible. 0-60 in 4 seconds, very neutral handling with little fuss, incredible stopping power, and all with a good size trunk and surprisingly the highest ground clearance of the luxury SUVs. Compared to the X6 M, it’s heavier, though it offers more cargo space, more legroom and headroom in both the front and back, and is $6000 cheaper as tested. The practical one of the two, if that’s a thing. Due to their performance nature, the BMWs did not compete in the off-road portion.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML400 4Matic. This is a premium SUV from Mercedes, featuring a 3.0L V6 producing 329 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Acura MDX, BMW X5 M and X6 M, Cadillac Escalade, and Volkswagen Touareg. The Mercedes wasn’t particularly bad compared with the competition in many ways, but nor was it superior. It sat in the middle of the group on many things: price, power, headroom and legroom, fuel economy, and towing capacity. It did however offer significant cargo space over everything except the Cadillac. It’s air suspension with adjustable ride-height is also a nice perk for off-roadability. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2016 Acura MDX SH-AWD with Advance and Entertainment Packages. This is a premium SUV from Acura, featuring a 3.5L V6 producing 290 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the BMW X5 M and X6 M, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes ML400, and Volkswagen Touareg. Starting with the drawbacks, the Acura has the lowest ground clearance of the group, the least front and rear headroom, and was on the lower end in terms of power against the competitors. It also was on the lower end for tow capacity, though it was still fairly good at a max of 5,000 lbs. Drawbacks aside, it was my personal favorite of the group, and was also voted the best luxury SUV by the journalists who attended the event, winning its category. It’s by far the lowest weight vehicle, it’s the second lowest in cost, it has phenomenal on track performance, offers plenty of cargo space, and gets the best gas mileage of the gasoline powered vehicles. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 BMW X6 M. This is a premium SUV from BMW, featuring a 4.4L V8 producing 567 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Acura MDX, BMW X5 M, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes ML400, and Volkswagen Touareg. Starting with the drawbacks, the BMW comes at a steep price tag, just under 113 thousand as tested. It’s fairly heavy and gets poor gas mileage (how unexpected) at 14 city 19 highway. It also has the least cargo space of the group. That said, it’s track performance is incredible. 0-60 in 4 seconds, neutral handling through the slalom, fantastic stopping power, and just like the X5M it has the highest ground clearance of the luxury SUVs in the group. Compared to the X5M, it’s not quite 100 lbs lighter, but sacrifices heavily in cargo space, legroom and headroom. The diet it’s on cranks it’s price up another $6000 too. If you happen to be cross shopping an X6 and X5 M, my recommendation is the X5 M for added practicality, though it does seem odd calling a $106k 567 HP SUV practical. Due to their performance nature, the BMWs did not compete in the off-road portion.

The 2015 Volvo V60 T5 AWD Cross Country. This is a premium CUV from Volvo, featuring a 2.5L Turbo Inline 5 cylinder producing 250 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Buick Encore, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Lexus NX, and Mercedes GLA250. Starting with the drawbacks, the Volvo has the second highest price of the group, the least amount of cargo space and limited rear legroom, and was towards the bottom of the pack for combined fuel economy rating at 23 mpg. That said, the Volvo’s weight is well under the Land Rover or the Lexus, it has the most power and torque of the group, and the best power to weight ratio. It also has a very reasonable towing capacity at 3500 lbs. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 Lexus NX 200t F Sport. This is a premium CUV from Lexus, featuring a 2.0L Turbo I4 producing 235 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Buick Encore, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Mercedes GLA250, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Starting with the drawbacks, the Lexus is the heaviest car of the group, at just over 4000 lbs. Its towing capacity and fuel economy was in the middle of the pack. That said, it offers decent rear leg room, was fairly quick regardless of its heft, and offered good cargo space in comparison to the other models in this pack. In this video we’ll be track testing and off-road testing. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic. This is a premium CUV from Mercedes, featuring a 2.0L Turbo I4 producing 208 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Buick Encore, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Lexus NX, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Starting with the drawbacks, rear leg room is a bit limited, off-road handling was very stiff, and there were some quirks with the interior I wasn’t a fan of. That said, it was my personal favorite car of the group it competed in. It’s almost as light as the Buick Encore, creates peak torque at a staggeringly low 1250 RPM, and it has the best fuel economy of the group with 32 mpg highway. On top of this, it has 8 inches of ground clearance and it’s the only vehicle in the entire event with a dual clutch transmission. The handling was phenomenal in comparison to the others tested. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport. This is a premium CUV from Land Rover, featuring a 2.0L Turbo I4 producing 240 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Buick Encore, Lexus NX, Mercedes GLA250, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Starting with the drawbacks, the Land Rover is the most expensive of the group, has the worst fuel economy at 22 mpg combined, and is on the heavy side at just under 4000 lbs. That said, it’s a highly capable vehicle off-road, the journalists favorite winning the category for Premium CUVs against the other vehicles. It has a tow capacity up to 4400 lbs, the best rear legroom of the group, and the largest cargo space of the group. The 9 speed automatic transmission is matched with an abundance of off-road selectable features. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

An analysis of braking load transfer in my 1999 Acura Integra, and how the vehicle will respond under heavy braking. By determining the load transfer to the front wheels, you can determine ways in which to improve your vehicle: which brakes to upgrade, where to try to relocate weight, and whether or not lowering your vehicle is justified.

The 2015 Buick Encore AWD-Premium. This is a premium CUV from Buick, featuring a 1.4L Turbo I4 producing 138 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Lexus NX, Mercedes GLA250, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Starting with the drawbacks, the Buick was the most lacking in performance in this category, was somewhat limited in cargo space, and doesn’t have the towing capabilities of some of the other models. That said, it’s the lightest weight car of the group, has the second best fuel economy, and is by far the lowest cost vehicle of those tested. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

Thee 2015 Ford Edge Sport with AWD. This is an SUV from Ford, featuring a 2.7L Turbo V6 producing 315 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Jeep Cherokee, Kia Sorento, Nissan Murano, and Subaru Outback. Starting with the drawbacks, the Ford tested had the highest MSRP at $45,785 and also had the worst fuel economy at 17 mpg city 24 highway. That said, it was a seriously fun car to drive with quick acceleration and good handling. It also offered the greatest rear legroom and rear headroom of the group, can tow up to 3500 lbs, and offers plenty of cargo space. The vehicle weight was also in line with the others. From a driving perspective, this was my personal favorite from the group, though it did not win the category. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2016 Kia Sorento SXL AWD. This is an SUV from Kia, featuring a 2.0L Turbo I4 producing 240 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford Edge, Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Murano, and Subaru Outback. Starting with the drawbacks, the Kia offers mediocre fuel economy, has slightly less ground clearance than the Cherokee and Outback, and and has a fairly high tested MSRP at just over $45k. That said, it offers excellent cargo space, decent acceleration, the most front legroom of the group, and depending on the trim selected can tow up to 5,000 lbs. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

Off-road testing the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4x4. This is an SUV from Jeep, featuring a 3.2L V6 producing 271 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford Edge, Kia Sorento, Nissan Murano, and Subaru Outback. Starting with the drawbacks, the Jeep offers mediocre fuel economy and had significantly less cargo space than the other models tested. That said, it had the second lowest MSRP of the vehicles tested, has 8.7 inches of ground clearance, offers great rear legroom, can tow up to 4500 lbs, and has an immense amount of off-road features and capabilities. Well deserved, this vehicle did win the category for SUVs. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

Off-road testing the 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited. This is an SUV from Subaru, featuring a 2.5L H4 producing 175 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford Edge, Jeep Cherokee, Kia Sorento, and Nissan Murano. Starting with the drawbacks, the Outback was lacking in performance against the competition, though there is a 6 cylinder offered. What it lacked in performance, it made up for in practicality. The Subaru was significantly cheaper and more fuel efficient than the competition, was the lightest weight of the group, and offered plenty of cargo space. Depending on the trim, it can tow up to 3000 lbs.

The 2015 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD. This is an SUV from Nissan, featuring a 3.5L V6 producing 260 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Ford Edge, Jeep Cherokee, Kia Sorento, and Subaru Outback. Starting with the drawbacks, the Nissan’s handling and steering feel didn’t quite feel as good as the others in the pack, and it also has the lowest towing capacity of the group at 1500 lbs. That said, it offers better fuel economy than the Sorento, Cherokee, and Edge, has plenty of cargo space, and has decent acceleration.

Interviewing Team Penske's Juan Pablo Montoya, Helio Castroneves, Wimon Pagenaud, and Will Power on what milk they choose to drink if they win the Indy 500, "the greatest spectacle in racing." It’s tradition for the winner of the Indy 500 to have a bottle of milk in celebration. The drivers do get to choose what type of milk they’d like: Skim, 1%, 2%, or whole milk. Shell has hosted me at its labs in Houston and at pre-launch events for Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline. Big congratulations to Team Penske and Juan Pablo Montoya for winning the 99th running of the Indy 500, and a huge thanks to Shell and V Power Nitro+ for having me out to the race!

Off-road and track testing the 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4x4. This is a small crossover from Jeep, featuring a 2.4L I4 producing 180 HP which I’ll be comparing to the Honda HR-V, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and the Mazda CX-5. This also is this event’s overall winner, the Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year, as well as winning the CUV category. Starting with the drawbacks, the Jeep is fairly heavy, weighing just under 3600 lbs when there are certainly lighter small CUVs out there. It also has a high drag coefficient of 0.37. Combining these factors, even when matched with a 9 speed automatic transmission, fuel economy suffers as a result. With a combined rating of 24 mpg, it only tops the significantly more powerful Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Rear legroom is also limited. Drawbacks aside, the Jeep packs a lot of value. The interior is very well done, it can tow up to 2000 lbs, and it has an enormous amount of off-road features and has 8.7 inches of ground clearance. It’s strong capabilities off-road made it the crowd favorite at this year’s event. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

Track testing and off-road testing the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with AWD. This is a small crossover from Mitsubishi, featuring a 2.0L I4 producing 148 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and the Mazda CX-5. Starting with the drawbacks, the Mitsubishi has a fairly cheap interior and the least amount of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. It’s also fairly low on power, but it did have the second highest combined fuel economy rating of the crossovers tested. The Mitsubishi allows for selecting between 2WD and 4WD, as well as locking the center differential. It also offers good ground clearance at 8.5 inches. It also featured an awesome panoramic glass roof. This vehicle was tested as part of the 2015 Northwest Automotive Press Association’s Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year competition.

The 2016 Mazda CX-5 with AWD. This is a crossover from Mazda, featuring a 2.5L I4 producing 184 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Starting with the drawbacks, the HR-V did have slightly better fuel economy, and it did have the second highest MSRP of the vehicles tested. That said, it offered great rear legroom, plenty of cargo space, 8.5 inches of ground clearance, and weighed the same as the much smaller Jeep Renegade at just under 3600 lbs. It also has a drag coefficient of 0.33, lower than the Hyundai and Jeep. The handling also felt pretty good on the airstrip testing course. Overall it is a very strong contender.

Track testing and off-road testing the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with AWD. This is a crossover from Hyundai, featuring a 2.0L turbo I4 producing 264 HP, which I’ll be comparing to the Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and the Mazda CX-5. Starting with the drawbacks, the Hyundai was the most expensive crossover tested, was the heaviest, and had the worst fuel economy of the group at 18 city and 24 highway. That said, it was certainly the quickest, had the highest towing capacity, and had the most cargo space. It also offers ample rear leg room.

The 2016 Honda HR-V in EX-L AWD CVT trim. This is an all new small crossover from Honda, featuring a 1.8L I4 engine producing 141 HP which I’ll be comparing to the Jeep Renegade, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and the Mazda CX-5. Starting with the drawbacks, as someone 6 foot 1, the front drivers seat did feel a bit cramped compared to the other models. It also was the lowest on power, however it made up for it in fuel efficiency, being the most efficient model tested in this group with 32 mpg highway with AWD.

What are the effects of weight transfer? How can you reduce load transfer in a vehicle? Ideally, you want to keep tires evenly loaded so the car can hold the highest lateral or longitudinal loads. This relates back to tire load sensitivity. By altering a vehicle's center of gravity, wheelbase, and track, you can alter the load transfer characteristics of the vehicle.

How do top fuel dragsters put down up to 10,000 horsepower? It's all done through a slipping multi-plate centrifugal clutch. The clutch has fingers on it which, under rotation, will provide pressure on the clutch pack. As more fingers press down at higher rotational speeds, the clutch pack compresses further, locking up the clutch and allowing for the full engine torque to be supplied to the wheels. The difference between a good run and a bad run in the NHRA all comes down to how well you execute clutch slip and provide the absolute maximum torque to the driven wheels without them fully breaking loose.

Why is the Nissan GTR LM NISMO front engine with front wheel drive? I spoke with the engineers to find out exactly that. There are four reasons I found particularly important for understanding why the LMP1 car is front engine/FWD. It allows for the center of pressure to be efficiently placed over the center of gravity, it provides the potential for more energy recovery through the front axle, it essentially decreases the frontal area through influencing the front diffusers, and it allows for a more efficient rear diffuser when coupled with more narrow tires. Another benefit of using more narrow tires is that it reduces aerodynamic drag.

Vehicle weight distribution plays an important role in vehicle dynamics. Often, it's stated that a 50 50 weight distribution is ideal. Let's look into why weight distribution is important, and determine what factors moving a vehicles center of gravity changes. Understeer, oversteer, and many handling characteristics can be altered through weight distribution.

Understanding oversteer, understeer, and load transfer all relates back to slip angles, so it's important to understand where the equation for slip angles comes from. This video derives the equation used for slip angles, as shown in the book "Automotive Engineering Fundamentals" by Richard Stone and Jeffrey K. Ball. The derivation of slip angles requires an understanding of basic dynamics, the relationship between slip angle and lateral load, and static free body diagrams of a car.

How does a centrifugal clutch work? What is a centrifugal clutch? Centrifugal clutches are used in go karts, mopeds, chain saws, lawn mowers, and many other small engine powered devices. They work by using the principle of centrifugal force to have a clutch shoe apply a friction pad against the clutch housing, thus rotating a device which requires torque to run. At idle speed, springs hold the clutch shoes in so that there is no torque transfer to the clutch housing.

What is the difference between understeer and oversteer? What causes understeer and oversteer? How can you reduce understeer? How can you reduce oversteer? This video looks into both steering situations, and relates them to slip angles. A car with a larger front slip angle than rear slip angle will understeer. A car with a smaller front slip angle than rear slip angle will oversteer. This can be altered by changing many things, including downforce, camber, toe, tire compound, tire pressure, width, suspension geometry, spring rates, etc. Related Videos: Slip Angles - http://youtu.be/9bs2cEyK7Uo Traction Circle - https://youtu.be/JjCcFsGLpaM Tire Load Sensitivity - https://youtu.be/kNa2gZNqmT8 Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

What is a slip angle? How do slip angles relate to understeer and oversteer? A slip angle is the angle between the direction the wheel is pointing and the direction the tire contact patch is traveling. This is a result of the elastic properties of rubber, which deform under friction. The slip angles of the front and rear tires dictate whether or not the car is understeering or oversteering, and they also influence lateral grip as slip angle is related to the coefficient of friction of the tire.

The Bloodhound SSC aims to be the first land vehicle to break 1,000 mph. It will accomplish this using various powerplants: a gas turbine, the EJ200 out of a Eurofighter Typhoon jet, and also a hybrid rocket system. The hybrid rocket system gets its name as it uses a liquid oxidizer with a solid fuel. The oxidizer is pumped by a supercharged Jaguar V8 engine through the solid rocket. The vehicle produces 210kN of thrust, or the equivalent of about 135,000 HP. This video explores how hybrid rocket systems work.

Will you get better gas mileage with your windows down or with the A/C on? How does this compare to windows up, or with the heat on? At lower speeds, it will be more efficient to lower your windows. At higher speeds, where drag increases exponentially, the drag created from having your windows down will have a higher impact on your efficiency, and thus it will be better to drive with the windows up and the A/C on. But what speed does this occur at? Let's run some tests to find out. Related Videos: A/C vs Windows Down - http://youtu.be/ue6DsRncyfI Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!

What determines the location for brake calipers? Why are some brake calipers towards the front, while others are towards the rear? What factors influence brake caliper placement? Location could be dependent upon weight distribution, aerodynamics, suspension geometry and packaging, the vehicle purpose, cost, and aesthetics. NOTE: An important factor in brake caliper location for the front brakes is the location of the steering rack. The calipers will typically be located on the opposite side of the steering rack. To allow for the engine to be further back (and thus better weight distribution, the rack may be found up front, forcing the brakes to be closer to the center of the car. NOTE 2: After discussing with various motorsport engineers, it seems the most critical factor in caliper location comes down to suspension geometry. The location is simply the best spot available after the ideal suspension has been designed.

What is rear wheel steering? How does four wheel steering work? Rear wheel steering operates very similarly to the front wheel steering. It can be controlled electronically or hydraulically, among other methods, and is used differently depending on speed. At high speeds, all four wheels will turn the same direction. At lower speeds, the rear wheels will turn opposite of the front wheels, allowing for greater maneuverability and faster cornering response.

How do hydrogen cars work? What are hydrogen fuel cells? How do hydrogen fuel cells work? How does the Toyota Mirai work? This video looks at how hydrogen (H2) can be used to power a vehicle. An onboard storage tanke send the hydrogen to the fuel cell stack, where the electrons are separated from the hydrogen via a platinum catalyst, and the energy is then used to propel the car. The electrons return to the fuel cell where they then combine with positively charged hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms to form H2O, and the reaction is complete. The water then flows out the exhaust pipe, with no harmful emissions.

Car tires perform best when they are evenly loaded. Wider tires and even 50/50 weight distributions help allow for even pressure among the tires, allowing for better grip. As load increases on a tire, the coefficient of friction between the tire and the road decreases, thus the amount of lateral grip the tire has decreases. This video helps to explain why, which is a result of the viscoelastic properties of the rubber used in the tires. As the polymer chains which make up the tire stretch out, they become less resistant to additional strain.

How does torque vectoring work? What is a torque vectoring differential? A torque vectoring differential acts very similarly to an open differential, except the axle shafts have planetary gearsets and clutch packs which allow them to lock up with the differential housing, thus altering the amount of torque sent to each wheel through different gearing in the planetary gears. As much as 100% of the available torque can be sent to an individual wheel with some setups, depending on circumstances and the differential used. The differential in this video is directly from a Lexus RCF. NOTE: The end of the video is misleading. It doesn't incorporate how the planetary gears are used to alter the torque, and just states that they are locked with the differential housing. While it is true that the torque does transfer from the differential housing to the planetary gears, it is not explicitly shown in the video how this works.

What is a DSG transmission? How does a direct shift gearbox work? A DSG transmission is a dual clutch transmission used by Volkswagen. A DSG uses two wet, multi-plate clutches to activate separate drive shafts which send torque via the even or odd gear sets. Because the gear sets are on separate shafts, this allows for preselecting the next gear, allowing for nearly instantaneous gearshifts without a total loss in torque. DSG tranmissions operate a lot like manual transmissions, but they are electronically controlled and thus the gear selection can be either automatic or manual, but does not require the use of a clutch pedal as this is all activated automatically.

What are the advantages of a rear mounted engine? What are the disadvantages of a mid engine? Porsche famously uses rear engines. Engine placement plays a big role in the dynamics of a vehicle, affecting weight distribution, moment of inertia, launch traction, acceleration traction, passenger space, and efficiency depending on the driven wheels used. Rear engine cars typically have the weight distribution rear-biased, meaning a high moment of inertia and tendency to oversteer, but typically great braking.

How does a throttle body work? What is a throttle body? A throttle body is a butterfly valve located between the air intake filter and the intake manifold. It regulates how much air can go into the engine, based on driver input through the gas pedal. As more air flows into the engine, it injects more fuel, thus allowing for more power. Throttle bodies today are mostly electronically controlled, where this throttle body is mechanical. It includes input for TPS and MAP sensors, as well as routing for the IAC valve, and a idle adjustment screw.

Octane Rating - RON vs MON vs AKI. Often people ask "Why does the US have such low octane gas at the pumps?" They state this assuming European fuels have a significantly higher octane, when in fact it simply comes down to how we label our fuels. Most countries show the RON, or Research Octane Number. In the US, as well as a few other countries, we show the AKI, or Anti-Knock Index, which is the average of both the RON and MON, or Motor Octane Number.

What are the advantages of a mid mounted engine? What are the disadvantages of a mid engine? Mid-engine cars. Engine placement plays a big role in the dynamics of a vehicle, affecting weight distribution, moment of inertia, launch traction, acceleration traction, passenger space, and efficiency depending on the driven wheels used. Mid engine designs allow for an ideal weight balance, and have many advantages from a performance standpoint.

Mechanical throttle cables can get loose overtime on cars. In this video I'll tighten the throttle cable on my 1999 Acura Integra. It's a very quick, easy adjustment, and can remove dead band from your gas pedal, where you press the pedal but it has no influence on the throttle control. So long as the cable is not super loose, you should still be able to reach WOT, and thus this should not affect performance, but it's nice to have the gas pedal immediately respond.

Will you get better gas mileage with your windows down or with the A/C on? It's a question that's fully dependent on the speed at which you're driving at. At lower speeds, it will be more efficient to lower your windows. At higher speeds, where drag increases exponentially, the drag created from having your windows down will have a higher impact on your efficiency, and thus it will be better to drive with the windows up and the A/C on.
