I apologize as I forgot to mention the weight in the video. Total weight for compressor, tank, Mac valves, and regulator was right over 17lbs. Also if you missed the video of us testing this setup at the track, you can find it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzIhJaCjrCYbcU

[@SloppyMechanics]

i really like how tidy this is, thanks for giving out all the info!

[@BadLuckGarage]

That was the biggest thing for me was being able to get it out of the way like it wasn’t even there. I forgot to say it in the video but the entire tank and compressor setup only weighed 17lbs as well. So not as light as a CO2 tank, but not super heavy either.

[@minitrucker68]

Hey Robert! Glad to see you back brother! Have a good one!

[@BadLuckGarage]

Thanks!

[@nitomeanboyGBODY]

Looks like I’m upgrading my means of controlling boost… ur info is damn sure appreciated

[@BadLuckGarage]

Glad you found it helpful brother. 🤘

[@matthewstephen2988]

Thank you for all your videos. Been watching your build and I just want to say you're a huge inspiration for me. Love that ol car you got brother, she moves out!

[@BadLuckGarage]

I appreciate that brother! I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful and like the cars we’ve built here!

[@philbetthauser9547]

That's awesome it's working out just the way you wanted it to.

[@BadLuckGarage]

Yea I’m pretty happy with it brother. Now I just gotta figure out when I’m gonna have a free day to go back to the track again. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@trevorsmith9251]

Fantastic idea, sure beats filling Co2 all the time, great work Robert 👌

[@BadLuckGarage]

Just to be fair, from what I’ve read you shouldn’t have to fill the CO2 bottle that often unless it’s a street car and you have the boost control on everytime you drive it. If it’s a track only car, you have your boost control dialed in correctly, and you don’t have any leaks, a 5lb bottle should last you quite a while. But for an actual street car that you like to drive and play in a lot I 100% recommend onboard air over CO2.

[@jasonbrinegar6759]

Great Info Bro!!! Did a little testing with the shop truck after our install Thursday. What a world of difference!!!! As you were saying, Controllability is buttery smooth! Not a surface in the country we can't get down now!!

[@BadLuckGarage]

Glad to hear it brother!

[@CarportGarageDragRacing]

Good stuff, we had planned to do this on Chris 80 Trans Am

[@BadLuckGarage]

I recommend it 100%. The difference in control of the boost ramp is amazing. I wish I would have listened to everyone and did it last year!

[@davidreed6070]

I've been thinking about that I'm at about that point. I am going to check out your channel you know your engine your turbos that kind of thing. Thanks for the information

[@BadLuckGarage]

If you’re interested in just this car specifically, click on the playlist tab, and select the “Chaos Theory Camaro” playlist. That way you don’t have to sift through the videos of the other builds on this channel. 👍

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Great video I'm trying to figure out this whole turbo deal I want to put a turbo on my big block don't know if I should try a single or twin turbo set up. I know nothing about them other then they make serious power.

[@justinp2993]

Really good video, it's funny I was debating the same options. I can't justify Viair but also didn't want to go straight cheapest possible. Thanks for addressing some of my direct questions from the last video. In a day where youtube is getting less and less useful it is nice to see some people out there still sharing knowledge instead of begging for help or just acting like idiots. I'm in for another video of how you set up the Holley and your control strategy.

[@BadLuckGarage]

I’m gonna try to do that one brother. Just gotta find some time after work. 👍

@@BadLuckGarage Take your time, we all have busy lives.

[@turbosupra2jzdragracingtob249]

Hi, you could also use an external compressor to fill the tank.

[@BadLuckGarage]

This setup uses an external compressor. Vixen also offers setups with compressors built into the tanks if that’s what you’re asking.

[@JCarr65]

I’ve had my viair little tank setup for probably 6 years without a regulator … issue free for right at $100

[@BadLuckGarage]

I wish they were still that price. I probably would have bought one. They WERE the budget option until a few years ago. The base kit is almost twice that price now unless you find a sale.

[@JCarr65]

@@BadLuckGarage I’ve been happy with it and yea prices are ridiculous. I went with Boost Leash as well so the fittings, map sensor, mount and all that jazz was with it Saved all my I/O’s too lol

[@BadLuckGarage]

@@JCarr65 Not sure if you saw the previous video but I had to take my fans off the Holley to run the dual mac valves. And the temp switch I put them on ended up being junk. So now I’m looking at ordering a cheap adjustable fan controller until I finally get a dominator. There’s gonna be ALOT of changes on this car once I switch to a dominator.

[@JCarr65]

@@BadLuckGarage I missed the last video I guess. But yea the boost leash has made my termx be more than enough. Fan, flex, and 2 step is all I use now on the I/O lol

[@BadLuckGarage]

@@JCarr65 I plan to go data dumb once I get a Dom. Lol. Shock sensors, traction control, the whole nine yards.

[@anotherbluenova6358]

Do you show how to set up Holley to run the valves? I have mine all set up im just not 100% sure of the programming

[@anotherbluenova6358]

Well you answerednin the end. Yes please show how to set it up in Holley

[@nigelmcclure6440]

How and where can I buy this product for my car so I just actually hope that someone else can definitely let me know right away thanx anyways people where I can definitely buy this amazing product because I want to buy it so darn badly right now

[@BadLuckGarage]

Explained in the video. Links are in description.

[@rickyboostedhonda27]

I ordered a 98mm gt45 turbo and I have a 1.8l motor I’m thinking of doing a similar setup. I don’t want to run nitrous because I don’t want to always fill up the car. would I be possible for the car to reach full boost at 4500 rpm’s ? Is that too unrealistic. I’m thinking of starting to spray a lot of air at 2000 rpm’s and then hopfully it can be spooled up all the way a 4k rpm’s (20psi)

[@BadLuckGarage]

That’s not how this works

[@rickyboostedhonda27]

@@BadLuckGarage then what does it do ? or is there a way you can put a nozzle into the turbo similar to nitrous to make it spool up ? I’m just pretty much asking and curious to see if there is a way a 98mm work with a 1.8l motor, without using nitrous or co2 and always having to fill up bottles

[@BadLuckGarage]

What it does is explained in the video. And no you can’t use compressed air or CO2 to help spool the turbos. That’s a nitrous only deal. Not trying to be an ass brother but it seems you need to do some research and understand exactly what’s going on and exactly why some people use nitrous to spool larger turbos. I’d also reconsider using that GT45 on that little 1.8liter. What exactly is your goal HP wise? Because I thinks you’d probably be a lot happier with something like a gt3582 or maybe even something even smaller.

[@ajingolk7716]

That is better than turbo and superch because water will condense inside the tank in place to go inside the engine

[@BadLuckGarage]

I don’t think you’re understanding how this works brother.
