The one car Moog should've kept.

[@mindfullchaos]

How many things have changed, and how many have stayed the same. MCM has always been awesome.

[@mitchellman32]

I swear Moog is an Australian Keeanu Reves

[@mitchellman32]

Looks like*

[@Kvickification]

+Mitchell Nyarady Moog is the opposite of Keanu Reeves :D

Jesus. I just love Aussie sense of humor.

[@gtafibra]

Woah,nice car!

[@itsnotan8]

[@gtafibra]

Yeah man

[@itsnotan8]

I havent got a clue whats going on but i love these videos

[@npickart]

That S15 gives me wood.

[@OzokuRJS]

*jizz*

[@Soho-Fart]

Nate P me too

[@samuelburningham5266]

Nate P Don't pretend you didn't get a boner...

[@alyssapeanut1135]

You could probably make a firewood business out of that

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

lul

[@jcv9799]

That S15 is seriously so good looking, can't believe you got rid of it :(

[@SamFisherK]

Who is Silvia? And why is she 15?

[@odi97thegreat]

+ThreeDriv3rs she's 19 now

[@SamFisherK]

liberalistodi Perfect for me.

[@SamFisherK]

Callan harvey You're so damn right

[@Mynamemightbemichael]

If there's grass on the field, play ball!

[@callanharvey2293]

Mike Pickle you can play ball when theres no grass on the field, like street soccer

[@PenthouseJewelersNYC]

Mighty Car Mods Moog, I love how you went for this clean/ stealth look on the s15! So awesome!

[@666xGuitarplayerx666]

You are beautiful at playing that intercooler man, ive taken years of lessons and cannot remotely do that. #Jealous

[@DjRjSolarStar]

'And thats how many bolts we have left, and thats how we know we did a good job' lol! seriously man, always some left over bolts after a long day of working on the car. The way I see it, it's weight removal and therefore good XD

[@sototuned8802]

You guys crack me up, I love and hate watching your channel. I like it cause it's funny and there are cool cars, I hate it because the american market doesn't get any of the awesome stuff you guys do! I'm so jealous of this S15 I would kill to have this car! You guys need to make a trip out to the dirty D (Detroit Mi USA) and get into some detroit muscle! I'm an import guy but I love anything fast and boosted V8's are a great time too lol. I actual work writing the factory repair manuals for Nissan in the USA so I appreciate moogs love for nissan haha. Keep making videos and let the haters hate, I may not agree with everything you do but to each their own. Overall I'm a fan

[@2011chitsazzadeha]

Did you help write the FSM for the 08 sentra qr25de because I fucking love that manual.

[@sototuned8802]

No, that was before I was here. I've been with this company now for 2 years.

[@kanaric]

american market gets cool turbo cars, you just have to look or be creative or use the 25 year import rule. In fact the late 80s had a ton of amazing awesome shit like this that you can import. Nissan S12 Silvia with FJ20ET R30/31 skylines, Lancia Delta Integrale, Ford Sierra Cosworth, etc. That's aside from the Starions and Galant VR4s and cars like that you never see people run but are amazing.

[@sototuned8802]

I've actually had a lot of experience with the starion and vr4 galant. They're very hard to come by though. I know importing is always an option it just cost money. It's hard to justify having a car payment on a toy lol.

[@SeanHarold98]

'and look how good it isn't. You literally can't see a thing' . I almost died

[@miltos_carhub]

I would get the 200sx S15 over the Subbie anyday..

[@bigvic22sti]

2:54 Moog is eating alone haha

[@youspic]

i really do appreciate what gets done over the pond, you guys sure squeeze a lot out of small cars... but here in North America.. we are lucky. Its common for many of us to run 300hp+ cars since gas is not such an issue.

[@W1mp1am]

Do you guys in Australia have 7 bookshelves and a Lamborghini?

[@Ward1706]

Pah! I wish!

[@clawsss]

there is no hollywood hills to ride on :(

[@kylestarfaux]

[@boganlyfe7969]

I'm 13 and can't wait to follow my pathway of automotive and u are and have been a great inspiration

[@lucamongiardo1946]

You guys were awesome 11 years ago as much as you are now. Maybe even more, hella yes, i love this channel

[@BarryAllen1]

People complaining don't even drive an S-15...Why the Skyline gtr is being brought up makes 0 sense as well. The second you kids get your hands on skylines, I will end up digging parts for them out of junkyards lol

[@reaching_for_reason6608]

ill never understand why he got rid of that car...

[@crazychivez]

it burned down

[@JoonasNakiVaivaa]

That was the s13

[@crazychivez]

this one burned down too

[@fragmaster1994]

+Luxor Slopski no it didn't. he sold it.

[@neeravreddy9360]

+Fantastic Frog stupid... Should have kept it anyway

[@EBosAnimation]

"Marty vowed he would never loose to a Nissan again" Better stay away from GTRs then

[@jeffawake4669]

🤣

[@chugns1481]

Did these guys really just bet pinks on a CLEAN ass s15 vs an awd turbo in a straight line race? Mighty Car Mods, where the money outweighs the logic :D

[@johnjohnson-fe5ot]

damn Benny!! you were like 20y/o here!

[@jameshawkins809]

Man I need some friends like that!!

[@AnimeChannelDotCom]

Man I need a car like that! D: .....

[@TheMR2V6]

Go to some local car meets, add some FB friends, get handy with cars and I'm sure will make some friends

[@jameshawkins809]

TheMR2V6 I got to get a car first. Sold mines because they job I have not gave me a company truck. may get a early 2000s G35 or IS300

[@taammyyx3]

Boxers, breifs and g-strings such a nice way to say "your car is a pussy compared to mines" lmao

[@jayroque863]

Surprise you can watch through these kind of stuffs. Haha

[@Brock_Landers]

Not that I have seen a bunch of them but that S15 is BY FAR the absolute cleanest example that I've seen yet. Really sucks that you ended up having to get rid of it but I'm sure that with this new season that you've got something that is going to blow it out of the water. I'm a big Honda fan and the S2K was sick too but I have a feeling that whatever you've got this year will be even better. I would LOVE to swap that F20C into my Civic...now that would be a beast on the track.

[@jamesjin8849]

2:53 aww poor little moog

[@garystrat999]

Lol sitting away from the Subaru nerds

[@Iron-Griffon]

Moog there is a 100+ things, that are front mount on a car. Just saying front mount confuses a lot of people. Great episode and love the channel.

[@AwesomeCanadian212]

I miss the S15... I feel that was way better then the S2k

[@tyronestock8044]

That Nissan silvia s15 it sounds amazing goes really fast out race track road Good job Moog and Marty 👏👏👏👏

[@Uzic211]

He probably doesn't have this Silvia now but he should've used bonnet struts.

[@Code6Bravo]

I love your show guys I'm on a deployment from the U.S. And these videos keep me comping at the bit to get back to my car in the states. (Stage 3 Audi A4). Love it keep up the awesome work! !

[@MrMitchell699]

Shout out to who's hear in 2019

[@Gchang54]

I'm hear

[@jacharyzones]

Man that s15 is SOO nice! It must have been hard for Moog to lose it.

[@ethanbean5479]

subaru where boxers...i see what you did there

[@luisortega6140]

Boxer engines are life

[@SwishaSilva]

+luis ortega knock knock, it's a boxer engine

[@therealbajan522]

hahaha, you got that one right.

[@82raptor]

well a BOV lets the boost pressure (when you let off the gas to shift) vent to the outside air as opposed to dumping it back into the intake which will slow your turbo down.... the advantage of the BOV is when you let off to shift your turbo keeps spinning so you can get on the boost faster! when you are at full boost and you rapidly close the throttle that air has got to go somewhere! if you vent it you wont slow the turbo down as much and you can build boost faster! hope this helps!

[@ronzilathekilla8800]

I just got myself a 95 Toyota Soarer GT twin turbo 2.5. Gonna' build on it :D

[@StratophonicDubstep]

It's been two months since you made that comment... So how is progress now?

[@ronzilathekilla8800]

Mjinks Dubstep Pretty good bro xD It was auto, so I've already converted it, still gotta change a lotta' shit though.

[@StratophonicDubstep]

woah nice! I have a 97 Nissan Maxima. That things a beast, 0-60mph in 7sec, even after 18 yrs of no upgrades. All i did was put in a cold air intake XD

[@ronzilathekilla8800]

Mjinks Dubstep Nice bro!

[@alycestapleton]

Mjinks Dubstep stfu no one cares about your shitbox maxima

[@CallumDennis]

One setting runs quieter giving less power and more stealth. The other give you the full potential of the exhaust and runs much louder.

[@barkatmandark]

"blahck"

[@EvanMoon]

7:30 Looking back years ago even back then you were the best inner cooler player in history

[@wever333]

you should get a new S15 and install a RB26DETT skyline GTR engine in it... it would MAAAAAD... and lighting fast!

[@eclipse4388]

the engine setup an car he has now is perfect every1 just wants the skyline engines in everything lol u name any Nissan an some1 will say what u said the engine that's in there is an amazing powerplant to start with and build from not to mention the car is extremely clean

[@nickreddy4162]

eclipse4388 no skyline engine in it, rb26det, theres a reason everybody wants that engine, it sounds badass, and its torquey

[@SupMaHomies]

nick reddy you kidding me? sr20det is more an absolute torque POWERHOUSE. If you wana go about putting rb26 in then you gona have to go about everything else as well. exhaust,intake,engine management, pretty much the entire running gear actually.

[@wever333]

of coarse you would have to do the exhaust, intake and engine management, as they are all engine specific. You'd have to be pretty stupid to think otherwise. You would also have to put in a new transmission as the stock one would not be capable of handling the power and torque levels that skyline engines can produce.

[@SupMaHomies]

running gear = all of the above. but funny thing is sock s15 could handle the P n T of an rb26det. long as you dont upping the boost. unless blowby is your best friend

[@MrRoboman333]

The humour in itself is enough to keep me glued to the monitor watching Moog and Marty, the JDM mods are just icing on the enjoyment cake. Fucking badass show. Def getting an MCM sticker to show my appreciation on my Acura (HONDA)

[@MrRoboman333]

Zachary Benson The sound of a V-tech just gets all the blood pumping to my loins

[@celtic125434849]

Dear Aussies/japanese: please sell me your S15 in 10 years when they are legal in the states. Thank you.

[@danesebruno]

I'll help you import one

[@DavidDavisDH]

celtic125434849 I would rather have older 240sx hatchback with an sr20det motor swap instead of a S15. It would be very expensive to import a car, an engine is way cheaper. On Craigslist I found a bunch of them with the swap already done. It not really the same thing, but its almost the same without the RHD, which you could do.

[@75IFFY]

celtic125434849 Why are all the boy racer Nissans not allowed in the US?

[@celtic125434849]

Tcoombz I They are…. in canada classic cars are 15 years old, while the U.S they have to be 25 years old to be emission exempt

[@danesebruno]

Get a Mazda Cosmo! Use google chrome so you can translate the page and check out www.carsensorDOTnet - it's the best used car website in Japan

[@etherialwell6959]

man thinking of the fact that a s15 sr lays around in my shop waiting for me to put it in my s13 gives me goosebumps :>

[@Brandonvscars695]

Is anyone else watching in 2022?

[@terrencechen1013]

Ya

[@jeff1221]

[@kymmai5709]

+J Grasle

[@numberninelarge3121]

yes

[@ryan8488]

Hell yeah

[@cubanlock15]

Every single video, Moog plays the intercooler harp... Awesome.

[@Faraonqa]

Ye when marty loses he does some bs to not sell his car

[@4thMUSKETEERS]

Love the fz6 in the background. Still have mine 🤙🏽

[@King250sx-R]

On another note. I think I have the same t304 stainless steel turbo back exhaust. Sounds great on a straight 6. The little sr20det that has 180 to 200 hp stock sounds good too. Unless there's a top secret red top or black top out there that has 250 hp stock that I don't know of. Maybe the one in the 250 rs? Maybe the 400r? Just wondering. The one thing said sr20det with 250 hp. Never knew it had that. Plus that motor is good for 350 hp reliably without doing any internal work... so I've heard. So between 250 and 350 what part of the 100 hp did you gain with the intercooler, tune, and bc?

[@RyeOFGuy]

almost all s15 spec r came stock 250hp from the sr20det better internals mostly

[@King250sx-R]

Wow, that's amazing for a 4 cylinder. I didn't know that. So basically it can handle more than 350 hp on stock internals? If not, then what part of the 100 hp difference did they extract?

[@RyeOFGuy]

Ryan Brown the sr20det could probably get a thousand hp with enough internal upgrades but stock wise with the right ecu tune and turbo mods 350 could be handled safely on a stock sr20det s15 block

[@hugoseguin-lamarche1277]

Ryan Brown sr20 engines are in-line 6, or are you talking about the subaru's falt 4?

[@RyeOFGuy]

Hugo Séguin-Lamarche the rb series is a straight 6 and sr is only a 4 cylinder engine dude

[@LanceEllis1500]

This is still one of my favorite MCM videos .

[@RtdXyron]

The subaru looks fugly...

[@EVILIMPERIALISM23]

Your mum looks ugly

[@RtdXyron]

EVILIMPERIALISM23 Best comeback 2014...

[@pokemonmedia7861]

RtdXyron Best sarcasm 2014...

[@Pong-Lenis]

Pokemon Media IM FROM THE FUU-TUURE ITS 2015

[@NewSparky97]

Watching in 2022, this S15 should've stayed in the MCM fleet forever out of all of them

[@hennessy6612]

Anyone watching this in 2018

[@lucaweller3371]

Nathan Le ahyup

[@82raptor]

well yes and no... the waste gate is there to prevent over boost and regulates how much exhaust goes to power the turbo depending on how much load the engine is under. when the engine is at full boost wide open throttle and you suddenly close that throttle plate your waste gate can close all it wants to but your turbo is STILL compressing air that has nowhere to go! this can really slow down your turbo and even damage it! ill see if i can find a video that explains it better then i can

[@NarschoolVlog]

Its a riced out sleeper.. just my style

[@logic1675]

There's no rice to it, he only did performance mods

[@logic1675]

You know, I just thought about it, he must a been trollin

[@NarschoolVlog]

andrew lillard Congratulations.. Have a Cookie.. i know they are polar opposites.. :D

[@NarschoolVlog]

tomelliott9 Well thank you... i take that as a compliment sir.. why? you ask, well because I'm used to the internet and i have been here a very long time. so calling someone a faggot is a compliment :D and i love you to

[@NarschoolVlog]

tomelliott9 I'm talking about not being an intolerant prick and getting used to hate flowith against ones humour.. thats all..

[@Matteblackful]

Oh and by the way, blow-off valves are supposed to release some pressure from the turbo to prevent over pressuring of the turbo which can damage it

[@dickhurtzz]

get yourself a real car. Grand Prix all the way

[@eclipse4388]

ya ur grand prix will break down before the race even starts that's nowhere near a REAL car you couldn't buy that silvia if you sold your grand prix 10 times lol

[@Playstationbeast334]

Your joking right?…...

[@orangemaster969]

Playstationbeast334 What hurts me is that his comments has likes.....

[@VazDraeStudios]

Okay, I really like Grand Prixs... but then you have to make a comment like that...

[@5british5]

aatspeed90 and yet it goes slower :S

[@gusbate1118]

Watching this again in 2023, nissans are still awesome

[@T0mThompson]

Great Job guys...your stuff remembers me to these good old High Octane Overboost episodes. Thumbs up from Germany

[@Buzkill2597]

2009..... im in 2015 didn't realize this vid was this old

[@BeLankanBuyLankan]

I like how the lights of a cop car is flashing when you guys are getting ready for the race

[@VAIRUXD]

This guys really enjoy playin' my summer car

[@ReedyCreek28]

Drinking Japanese beer and watching old episodes !!

[@billaa49]

Watching this video is more informative than 10 hours spent on forums. I'm very impressed

[@njipods]

dump valve "dumps" the excess boost when you let off the throttle so that the air dosent make the turbo spin the wrong way. this means you get power back quicker when you change into your next gear. when your turbo gets to its predefined limit the waste gate lets the exhaust past and stops the pressure level increasing. the bleed valve rasises the level so you have more air pressure. you can blow up your car though as they say in the vid, i was always told it was not a good idea.

[@Killyang]

Finally a car mod video with good background music!

[@raul3979]

why does this episode puts my two favorite car brands against each other!

[@BADxCARMA]

i so badly wish that moog still had this car. I miss seeing it :( i want it

[@PeO.]

Marty sorrounded by mates and Moog eating pizza alone!! This guys are hilarious

[@andrewlangford88]

I do miss this style of video! It would be great if the Bois did a throwback episode

[@STUDxPANDA]

Moog would be like that best/funny friend you could have.

[@MetalGuitarist99]

Dude, I imported my Evo IV this fall and I plated it. My cousins both bought JDM Supras last spring aaaaand they're plated now. Learn your shit.

[@Skillowitz]

It's Friday! Well, not really, but we so excited.

[@MitchellGambinMedia]

Naughty boys... It look like yous street raced on camera from the lights and not showing above the dash which was very smart ;) but who really cares its Mightcarmods you's are the best!

[@brown55061]

That's a gorgeous S15. Only thing I like better is my SC300. Both cars are awesome RWD monsters. I bet the FMIC, MBC and catback added 35whp easy. Everything is more fun with boost.

[@danielcowan3138]

I love the sc300 but i love my g35 more

[@WolfnWool]

the episode is on the mcm channel, worth watching if you like the idea of importing.

[@scrfce123]

Here's one for your stereotype; They don't even sell Foster's here in Australia. It is solely an export beer. We either drink VB or XXXX. Also, unless you're game enough to stand up to a 6' Red, you're dreaming. Kangaroos have a tendency to kick in the groin, and if you're lucky, you'll get away only requiring a few stitches. You don't want to be unlucky ;)

[@jezwah]

Without diversifying the nature of the drivers foot, these mods herefore presented have the potential to induce the engine into a more efficient state of operation and hence thereforth gain better fuel economy.

[@XkohakuX1]

and wide band monitors I wouldn't worry about as if you'll probably be able to use stock ones a good 100-150hp above stock without any worries, after that they may get a bit iffy and you'll want to get aftermarket, but you'll need a new ECU if you go that route, meaning a new tune as well unless their is a stock tune with YOUR mods on it, and that is when you'd change afr, but i'm not talking about that, I'm talking about maybe a new head for the engine, new cams, fuel pump, and larger injectors

[@blapblapism]

always find myself watching the old vids

[@illegalmodsquad]

13:08 I can't keep my shit straight when I hear this, no matter how many times.

[@mplewp]

Yeah but what song is that :P

[@ryswe]

Wow an actually entertaining and informative video on KZbin? What the... I don't even...

[@JohnnyBagvieGolf]

He should say, "mad" and "stealth" more. That's what this video needs.

[@TheSassExperience]

So this is my third video with you guys and I am trying to do this stuff and more to my car so I wanted to watch this. I am now subscribed and looking forward to watching every one of your videos! You guys are hilarious and smart! btw, SUBARU FOR LIFE

[@Tony-112]

watching in 2017 like it was uploaded yesterday

[@twistgrip509]

yes and no because on a diesel usually does no have a waste gate if it does have a waste gate then you can in between the boost tubes and the waste gate actuator.

[@TheBigBazzy]

This is my favorite MCM video and also my favorite MCM vehicle so far!

[@billaa49]

Definitely would agree man, its a shame I don't have friends in the place I live that love modding cars, shoulda never moved from California

[@86asstastic]

LMFAO!! Captain Skyhawk! MAAAAAAD! Old school Nintendo game up in there is random as hell! Love it

[@heiko207]

Da hat der T0m die beiden auch mal entdeckt :) Schaue die schon seit knapp 2 Jahren und es lohnt sich.

[@126liberator]

This is very true, because the car is already turbocharged its pistons are fairly strong. My comment is like you said generalised, perhaps even only for the people turning NA to forced induction. I still have seen Silvias that are running too much boost to snap con rods etc. Maybe thats just because the turbo was 'oversized' :p

[@joelhobson1874]

I love living in Australia knowing I could get jdm legends like this

[@TheShYbOy22]

Actually no i dont watch Mighty Car Mods nor did I follow them . Recently started to watch them some time last week and subscribed to the channel yesterday. Sucks he got rid of it but still by watching this video im still getting one myself.

[@ReggieMan85]

No subaru will ever be as nice as a S15

[@Ryan.B420]

"And looks how good it isn't". Gotta love moog

[@PolyFPV]

Loved the Fast and the Furious reference at the very beginning. lol

[@SimpleCarGuy]

that s15 is the best car they had on this show ever!

[@rkdrum93]

They are actually really good about being cost effective about everything.
