[@felixf5211]

No. It takes a lot longer than 45 seconds for the oil to come up to temp. This time of year with relatively high ambient temps allows oil to come to temp within 10 minutes on my Evolution. When it's, say, 40F outside the process takes a lot more time.

[@felixf5211]

@@andrevalenzuela846 You mean to say that the oil in a Subaru comes up to temp in 45 seconds? I call total BS. It's impossible.

[@andrevalenzuela846]

@@felixf5211 by definition, if u put 10w30 in an evo and 5w30 in a subi the 5w30 will come to temp faster givin the ambient temperatures are the same as the 5w30 will flow faster on cold start thus requiring less kinetic energy to reach operating temp. This is further exaggerated if we are talking about the FB20 that takes 0w20 oil in the new WRXs. But I was gana over look that cause I'm sure ur probably talking about the EJ25 in the STI even though I never specified that. So indeed, shoulda bought a subi. Plus they are better cars in general. They stopped making the evo for a reason

Made a few of them, but my car has been very forgiving. Get a good intercooler, upgrade your charge and discharge pipes before turning up the boost. Upgrade your coil packs and gap your plugs. I didn’t initially do this and robbed my car of power.

One mistake when owning a boosted car is sending it at below 2000 rpm, especially on DI engines. LSPI or Low Speed Pre Ignition will blow holes or crack pistons. Let those engines spin up before you romp on it!

[@chrisspencer8815]

So at a track as long as it's reving above 2000 your good for launch? Isn't it bad to put that much force down off the line with no cold air for intercooler?

that sounds like a terrible setup with a shit tune. if you can't WOT below 2k rpm then you need to change your setup.

[@davecash1568]

Something people LOVE to do when they’re new to boosted cars: getting in, turning the key, and immediately sending it like a bat outta hell. Oh your Subaru blew up for the 3rd time? It’s probably cuz your oil was at 100 degrees when you made 20 psi of boost, genius.

Rookie mistake. Putting a gapplebees sticker on their stock boosted car

[@felixf5211]

Very good video. A few points for emphasis: 1) Choose your parts carefully. While this may seem obvious, more often than not IME folks believe that additional boltons will yield better performance. Maybe, maybe not. Using the EvoX as an example, a tune and boost control will uncork the motor. Most owners add a UICP and a TBE. Neither does a thing for power. The less you mod the more reliable and drivable the experience. Hope that made sense. 2) One cannot overemphasise the importance of the tune on a turbocharged car. Please do not bolt on parts or play with boost without a tune. Definately don't go WOT. Same goes for buying a used turbocharged car. You have no idea what parts it may have been tuned for or whether it was flashed back to stock. Logging is key. There's a lot to be said about this and folks may want to browse the comments in the FI tune video. 3) Get T-bolt clamps. Last thing you want is a boost leak or a pipe popping off in the middle of nowhere. Ask me how I know. First thing I did to my IX. To underline a very important point, frequent oil changes are *crucial*. It's no joke.

OK seriously read this if you have/are gonna buy a turbo car. Last tip, let your turbo cool properly. If you're driving hard and then shut the car down shortly after, your turbo will go from hot to cool much faster than normal, causing excessive wear from heavy heat cycles. If you're driving your car hard, let it idle for a few minutes and bring the temp of your turbo down slowly before you shut it down.

[@dekkan53]

Cool tip. I thought it was the other way around. leaving the car on to keep cooling stuff rolling to cool the turbo before turn the engine off. Learned something thx.

[@childsmindco]

I’ve got a turbo timer for that

[@batdad187]

Wrong... the issue is the oil not circulating in the hot turbo will bake and cause build up.

[@derek6ferrari]

I think you confused a blowoff valve function with a wastegates function. A blowoff valve opens when the throttle closes. a wastegate will open to regulate the total pressure. That's why boosted cars will peak at a certain psi then settle down and be a more steady psi.

[@elijahmaurer9039]

You'll find many professional racers using them interchangeably for boost control although you are right on their "intended" purpose

[@99EKjohn]

@@elijahmaurer9039 No you won't, the wastegate allows exhaust gasses to flow past the turbine section without interacting with it, regulating boost pressure and turbo speed. A blow off valve keeps the turbo from over pressurizing the intake which would lead to a pressure wave recoiling back into the compression turbine and blowing up. A blow off valve cannot be used to regulate boost pressure safely, if you try to, it will lead to the turbo being over revved and likely blowing up. A wastegate cannot be used to regulate the recoiling of pressure waves that will happen without a blow off valve. They work on opposite sides of the turbo, blow off valves are on the compressor side, wastegates are on the turbine side. There is no physical way for either to do what the other does.

When building a boosted car, build it similar to a very strong N/A car. As you need ported heads and a free flowing exhuast to make sure that air car actually make it to the engine

When I boast cars I use a different computer just for the turbo or supercharger system running in line with the ecu the reason I do that is because I have sensers for every exoust manifold port and Intake port also overall presser before and after the turbo intake and exoust, heat and cooling is also extremely important as well I add about 500 to 550 more sensors depending on the application and I also make them easy to replace when the engine is installed unlike most manufacturers

[@jjDarell]

1st mistake... buying it part by parts trying to save up and then realizing you wasted more than you estimated

[@Fr0zenfr0st]

Another thing to point out as a Rookie mistake when it comes to blow off valve. Most turbo cars now a days especially the non crazy race cars come with a Bypass valve not a blow off valve. So instead of venting that excess air/boost pressure to atmosphere giving you that sweet noise you're really just recirculating the air through your system. Now if you throw a BOV in there instead of a BPV, your car will run worse. It can have bad idle run rich or lean. In the end it's not good. If you want that amazing blow off noise and you have a BPV look at getting into a hybrid BOV. It will allow you to run either full vent to atmosphere or full recirculating, or 50/50 of both. I have a Mazdaspeed 6 which comes stock with a BPV. It was leaking boost pressure to upgraded to a turbosmart dual port 50/50 valve. I get sweet noise and I still keep my car running in good shape. Runs a little rich between shifts every now and again but it's a price I'm willing to pay for those noises. So it's a important step you wanna research

[@alexstromberg7696]

You think the vaping 12 year olds even try to think of this?

[@ryanembay2116]

I replaced the stock Bypass valve on my. Acura RDX and with everything else stock. It still sounded great and no bad things happened sooo yea I'm satisfied with it👌

[@zandane]

Biggest problem people have with boosted cars is really simple. They either 1: buy a small non sporty car with a 1.3l turbo and try to get it tuned up because hey bro boost. And it goes boom 2: tune a sportier boosted car without doing any prep work and oh noo it no go no more Or 3: boost a non boosted car without transmission upgrades.

[@dirtyd2749]

My experience with adjusting the BOV is hooking up a boost leak kit, then adjusting the pressure to my set PSI. I would adjust the tension down to the point it starts leaking. Once leaking I would tighten it just passed the point of it sealing. That way if the waste gate fails to open the BOV will releave some of the pressure & buy me a little time to notice before the big boom. Just my 2 cents.

[@787puertorico1]

There is no such thing as "slapping a turbo on" do your research first and find a reliable shop. Tell them what you want to do and get an estimate from them. Once you see the estimate look at the parts and prices and then compare them, you maybe be able to save a few bucks buying parts yourself.

[@alfredoladino9838]

Joshua Benitez it’s honestly the better option and doesn’t wear down the engine as quick as turbocharging

[@7sins979]

... not inherently easier nor linear. either way you go you will need to ensure your cooling system, fuel system, ignition system, and engine management are up to the task. also your engine may not be built strong enough to handle the extra strain so there is that too.

[@opossums-will-sing]

Two things about idling to get your oil temperature right: - Also do it for a bit when you park up to let your oil cool down evenly and slowly. Things break if they cool down unevenly or too quickly. Your turbo(s) aren't designed to cool themselves down without oil flowing through them. - In the UK it's illegal to leave your car running unattended, and the penalties aren't fun. Just sit in it or stand by it while you're browsing the 'grams (or whatever the kids call it these days) and save yourself the risk of being used to supply the local police's budget.

A stock car has a bypass valve which sends the excess pressure back through the intake to keep the turbo spinning (better throttle response). People put blowoff valves when they put big turbos because a bypass vavle wont deal with the pressure fast enough. Just to correct you on the stock blow off part

Reminder to send a boosted car while it's cold so the turbo had as much cold air it can possibly have to boost your car

[@jevonbigga6172]

That's the opposite of what you should do

also i would get an na tune up before forced injection, like a new vacuum system, clutch, better internals, etc. this is the reason why non car people cant make us believe the "I just supercharged my accord and now it makes 700hp" bs.

[@adamhayden5152]

I just bought my first turbo car in January 2022. First thing I did was add a catch can and change oil to mobile one esp 5w30. Then bunch of go fast parts from zzp. Tune and e85 this summer! I did a lot of reading and research before I bought the car. 14 Cadillac ATS 2.0t rwd. I know the cars problems and weakness and strong points before buying. The pistons are the LTG’s major weak point hence the catch can and Mobil one esp. it’s a low sulfur low ash formulation and helps protect from deposits and knock. Before I upgrade my turbo the weak ass rods and pistons need to be swapped for forged and Zzp’s stage 3 cam. It will eventually be a 500+ whp car.

I bet it’s rowdy! Would love to see videos 👀

My Civic has been supercharged for a year and professionally tuned; I'd say (while the mechanics of the SC are less complex) make sure your wear items like pulleys, belts, plugs, fuel pump. Should have been replaced at the same time. I find myself replacing it part by part too often

[@sweeper60]

if you boost your car, turn up the boost baby steps. i started at 4 psi, 6 weeks later I have eventually turned up to 21 psi (max of MAP sensor can read), making 370hp out of my 1.6 sohc shit box (eg civic coupe) - Yes, the block is stock - Yes, there are H-beam rods, low compression pistons and gapped rings. - Yes, there are 1 or 2 things more upgraded in engine. Acctualy, the biggest rooky mistake is - not gaping the piston rings, just slapping on some turbo kit and exploding the engine.

[@Whiteplane]

My cousin had a Hawk Eye STI with 10k in sensible mods,all done professionally and it blew up going 45 mph slightly uphill not even wilding out. We dont talk about the Hawk Eye STI.

[@kieranbarker9065]

Good video man , love ya style

[@avoyebad]

also some another rookie mistake is that some people drive turbo cars (factory or not idgf) without really knowing how to drive it,they are always on boost(overboost sometime) without knowing and also they will then claim that the don't get MPG factory claims(usually for stock car owners)

[@seanparker1759]

Turbo cool down. Don't forget that. Wait 5 to 7 min after driving. Q60 3.0t I wait at least almost op temp before I pull out of the driveway

[@jesusmendez50]

Boosted Mistake: Slap on bolts on without a proper tune... #BOOM!

[@701garage]

Not having after market turbo and not having a turbo timer to let oil flow after you stop so you dont leave extremely hot oil in the turbo.

[@maldo72]

Great video came over from Legitstreetcars... the wheels you sold him for his Mercedes looks and fit awesome....

[@brickson98m]

I’m used to a little turbo lag from my truck, but it’s super quick, I’m talking half a second, because it’s still got the stock VGT in it. I’m about to go look at an E55 AMG. That shouldn’t be too hard of an adjustment, considering I’m used to about 480hp and close to 1000lb-ft of torque. I’m just used to a couple extra thousand pounds. Lol

[@StatesMusic]

would you recommend if i boost my turbo from 11psi to 18psi? or should i tune less? I own a 2017 Chevy Cruze LT btw.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Tread lightly on those internals! 😅

[@99EKjohn]

10:1 compression stock in that engine, don't up the boost to more than 13 psi and definitely not without a tune. You can run 87 octane in those stock so there is some headroom but not a lot. You will have to run 93 octane if you up the boost at all and the tune will likely have to be rich to keep intake and exhaust temperatures down. Best idea, just don't. If you want something to tune and fuck around with, get yourself a cheap fox body mustang with the 302/5.0, or a cheap early 90s import. If you just have to have something more modern, the ford ecoboost 1.6L engines are surprisingly robust and the cars are decently cheap. I really hate having to recommend fords but the 302/5.0 and ecoboost 1.6L are good engines.

[@7sins979]

18 is probably crossing the knock threshold for your engine and your fuel system may not be safe past factory boost levels. so no don't change your turbo output.

[@yancaban4197]

Alex, can you talk about in a video about the good and bad and the controversy of compression surge, aka turbo flutter.

[@spcdegrace]

i threw money at a 95 civic, the eg. b swapped it, gsr trans, turbo, cams etc...blew it up after 1500 miles after turbo. most embarrassing thing was that my dad was visiting and wanted to check it out. so i was banging it off the rev limiter on the entrance ramp for i75. threw a rod right out the front of the block.

Rookie mistake with not only boosted cars, but also sports cars in general: after "making it feel happy", not letting it cool at idle.

[@ByVysix]

was looking into boosting my z, so this is great and on time 😂

[@JediTazz35]

What about superchargers I would like to hear any kind of mistakes with that with gettin one or haveing one

[@jakeritter2317]

A lot of the same with letting your car warm up to get the oil flowing. When I was younger and knew next to nothing about cars besides HP and looks, I owned a supercharged pontiac grand prix not knowing really what that meant. Got off work one night, fired it up and hit the highway like 1 or 2 minutes away. SENT IT and that thing went up in flames. Granted it was a pontiac... however, looking back, the car sometimes got really hot and I didn't understand why. I kept up with regular maintenance on the car and everything, but I definitely didn't treat it like a supercharged car, never payed attention to warming it up or anything like that. So definitely let the fluids get moving through the engine. That being said, another tip: It never hurts to keep a fire extinguisher in your supercharged car. I probably could've saved the car if I had one, the flames were in a small area when I popped the hood. Could only watch helplessly as they slowly spread, eventually engulfing the entire front end of the car. Hopefully you'll never have to use it, but it never hurts to be safe!

[@brich8608]

Mrs. Richardson is a saint!

[@austinhoang1814]

My routine with stock boost: 1. Let car idle until oil temp registers on the gauge (86 F in my case) 2. Drive lightly until oil is 150+ F and coolant temp is at operating 3. BWAAAA PSSH PSSH BWAAAA BWAAAA

Biggest rookie mistake when you actually boost a car properly and take care of it correctly is not putting the right suspension and wheel and tire setup (mainly on a fwd car) I’ve had a friend whose totaled 2 srt-4’s with bigger turbo setups cause he cheaped out on tires especially and couldn’t keep the car on the road with all the wheel spin and torque steer
