Don't DIE in Flames! Protect Your Car and Life with the Right Fire Safety Equipment!

[@gafrers]

It is absurd to see even super expensive builds that don't even have the most basic fire extinguisher, let alone a fire suppression system. Great as always

[@buiItnotbought]

Big weight savings guy here. Car weighs 2150 race weight, turbo car on m1. Got 3 gallons of cold fire suppression onboard. Also upgraded my suit to sfi 20. I started to take fire safety seriously after watching some videos lyle barnett made. Every racer should watch his videos it will really make you think twice.

Got a link?

Damn, always have your head sock and have your visor down! Ate that SFI 5 stuff up too! 5 is supposed to be good for 30 seconds but I guess with the speed blowing the wind it isnt.

[@buiItnotbought]

Sfi 5 is good for 10 seconds and Sfi 20 is good for 40 seconds im pretty sure

[@Lost10mm.]

Honestly it hit me when I drove by a wreck and it looked like a major bonfire my dad said one of our cousins was in the car. My dad said he had something in the car that exploded killed the driver and our cousin. I'm sure he was trying to show off the car.

[@devil2jz500]

None of my 11 cars run, so I don’t have to worry about that.

[@TimberTrainer]

Great point about not skimping on the details. Most car guys want to bolt on more power, better suspension, and shiny bling. They don't usually pay attention to wiring, plumbing, and fire extinguishers.

[@Alexbrandt27]

This is great. I’m just a garage tinkerer but I started to take fire safety a LOT more seriously when my turbo RSX lit on fire on tail of the dragon. If there weren’t several people there to help me put it out, it would have burned to the ground.

I dropped the money on a full radium fuel cell setup/FCST because i ddint want to worry about it and i haven't had a worry ever since. Great setup

i have a Na/T gremlin i had the fire extinguisher under the seat before the turbski and it ended up saving my car in a ac clutch fire

[@silverroku]

Thank you

[@crummych.]

Literally just spent around $3700 to redo my entire fuel system in my Rx7. Snow balled really quick.

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

My car burned down. Newer car, oil leak on to the headers and it burned up quick! Scary as hell

[@MilushevGeorgi]

OEMs better be watching

[@pduh42]

Great video Mike!

[@newagetemplar6100]

All wise words, especially when it comes to fuel and high pressure systems on some modern direct injection engines that run 2000 bar rail pressure. Methodical neat fuel systems planning and not being tempted to use cheap mick mouse Chinese braided lines and anodised fittings that have poorly machined thread are key to peace of mind . Fit and forget Anyone else noticed the horrible habit modern manufacturers have of using plastic cam / valve covers? Not very safe in an impact either, we have a BMW S58 M4 engine going in one of our race cars and kinda cringe of the thought of the high pressure injectors getting damaged in an accident 😵‍💫 One last thing that’s always puzzled me , why are race cars not forced to have remote electric safety valves for the fuel lines ? Any engine bay fire or major accident and generally the whole fuel feed is exposed leaving quite a lot of fuel in the feed pipe . A bulkhead mounted valve would definitely help and probably save your car especially older ones that don’t run a fuel pump controlled by the ECU .

[@DriveDriverDriven]

How does Novec compare to AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) for effectiveness and corrosion? I had an AFFF system that got me out of the car safely but did not fully extinguish the fire, and after the fact caused quite a bit of corrosion in the aluminum that was exposed to it.

[@motoiq]

It is non-corrosive and doesn't leave a residue. There are also some reports of AFFF causing cancer although it's kinda like soapy water so not sure about that. I think this stuff puts out the fire better, like halon but with more post-cooling due to the phase change of the liquid.

[@motoiq]

Your engine is on the way!

[@DriveDriverDriven]

@motoiq should be delivered today and it's going right into the chassis first thing tomorrow! never mind the YT episode delay ;)

[@motoiq]

@@DriveDriverDriven I am so stoked on that engine, should run super!

[@Patriot_wrx]

The Subaru WRX Community really needs your excellent knowledge and commentary on the new 2022+ platform. Its a 2.4L FA20 engine with twin scroll turbo but comes stock with Equal Length headers which removes the classic Subaru rumble. There is only two companies making Unequal length headers, both slightly different. Can you do your fantastic science talk on EL vs UEL headers on this car, as well as how having the divided collector at the twin scroll turbo vs not divided could affect turbo performance? As well as other air flow and emissions information? Over two years now and everyone is still fighting EPA with this car...

[@motoiq]

Equal length is better as is twin scroll. Shouldn't you be posting this sort of question on the videos regarding the FA engine?

[@Patriot_wrx]

@@motoiq I should but I figured the most recent video would get the most attention as opposed to older videos lol

[@motoiq]

Usually don't answer thread hijackers.

[@Patriot_wrx]

[@motoiq]

Well I answered you.

If you own a factory race car built in 2016? Your cell bladder needs to be replaced!! They are only good for 5yrs!! Shout out for using my video from Michelle's car!! :)

[@slowfrs]

Perfect timing. Just started this project of mounting fire extinguisher to my car. However, I'm not sure if the ELEMENT E50 is that good... despite seeing them at almost every car shop here.

[@motoiq]

They are not great but neither is your typical dry powder and its better than peeing on the fire!

Hi Mike.

[@Blorkion64]

Hi can you guys do more videos about the B15 or qr25? I love your nissan content. Thanks

[@motoiq]

Not likely. That engine is a turd and we have no calls to modify them.

[@Blorkion64]

@@motoiq I'm sad to hear that. What don't you like about the qr25? Besides the pre cat failure, balance shaft, power valves. What makes this engine a turd? I'm a Honda guy and new to the nissan world. So I don't know a lot about them. Thanks

[@motoiq]

Weak crank, weak rods, poor balance shafts, bad rod ratio, burns oil, basically the whole engine. First engine designed during Nissan's decline.

[@Blorkion64]

@@motoiq sheesh that's rough. Sounds a lot like the D17 from honda besides the burning oil. I trust your opinion. I'm going to look into a swap. Thanks for the replies

[@motoiq]

It is worse!

Can we see those dry fire extinuishers in use?

[@motoiq]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gobNiYGZo6xgopo Watch how all those dry powder extinguishers didn't do much.

[@DrSkrungle]

Sorry, i meant the nitrogen spraying tubes, you should put out a yt short or video of you testing them on a flaming trash can or something, would prob get a ton of views

[@motoiq]

If you can't wait there are a ton of videos on youtube of them in use

the young boy in me is thinking we are gonna need you light some stuff on fire..and then put it out.. for "science" of course.ok .....now..... awaiting for your video update

hey Mike on the fuel B nut loosening issue, what if i put blue loctite on the fuel line B nut threads?

We got a little wilder with fire...well Pyrodex actually, as kids....by the time they stopped our stupidity a US Senator had got involved lol. Whoops. Haha

[@motoiq]

I got some Pyrodex kid stories to tell, my friend would steal it from his dads reloading cabinet and we made this awesome rocket. We almost burned down my neighbors house.

[@adamfrbs9259]

@motoiq thanks to good ole Walmart that sold Pyrodex to 14yr olds we made pipe bombs, and apparently on the other side of the bike trail underbrush was the Military Armory storage building, we put a 3 inch hole in the building....which we had to pay restitution for, and to this day still isn't fixed lol. Just kids being dumb that got out of hand, no one trying to hurt anyone or anything. I ended up having to paint the upstairs bar at the Military facility for community service lol. Got Unabomber as a nickname at work 2 years later since that was about the same time. Haha

[@motoiq]

Awesome! We made a PVC rocket with a warhead! I didn't figure out the center of pressure right and it was unstable and hit our neighbor's house and blew up and got his garage burning. Then there was the oxy-acetylene in the waterbed that got us on the news.

[@TheRoulette77]

say you had a tried calling Moto Iq like 10 times for some advice or help ....but never got through to them or ever got a call back and you have a 1969 Datsun roadster with a full jdm 95-96 s14 front clip swap.. (69foo)original jdm harness, fuse boxes , disco potato and even gauges from the Japanese car with the original cars..red w/c ecu all stock swapped in ...running prefect, but the ecu little screw potentiometer was never there when you got it. just an empty hole...and you have a random blinking check engine light that Puente hills Nissan confirmed everything was fine and that it was stuck in diag. mode by hooking up their old consult pc to the consult port the aem wide ban shows a solid 14.7 AFR would you just run it ? what would you do ? thanks if you answer

[@motoiq]

If you want to talk to us, you need to make an appointment via our website like we say to in most of our videos. We are not 1-800-diagnosemycarforfree hotline. I would say it's stuck in diagnostic mode if it blinks regularly, not in code it's fine. If you ground yourself and open the case, the screw is probably in there somewhere, like it got pushed in or something. If you are at 14.7 all the time, even at WOT that is too lean for anything but idle and light throttle low load conditions

[@TheRoulette77]

@@motoiq thank you so very much for the response, i had only looked up your phone on google maps... my bad i did not check your web page.. i have previously grounded and opened the case... the 3 holes on the board for the pot. are un-used.. they are bare copper traces, have no pins broken off and have never had solder on them .i do build drones and have a bit of board repair experience... no loose item in there either... kind of weird. But its what i had found.. i have searched so hard to find out the pot. resistance values or part# or specs to be able to solder one in but no available info or schematics i could find.......the afr is true 14.7 at idle and under low load , under load its 10 to 12 or so...thank you again for the piece of mind .... this s14 silvia ks in roadster skin is a beast thank you thank you i will sleep better now after years of this issue
