[TECH TOUR] "The fastest car I've ever driven..." - The Stig USA | 1000HP Turbo V8 Enviate Hypercar

[@eeeen321]

This channel has the best car/tech interviews and breakdowns.

[@BlueWaterRedBlood]

This car is for sale for $90,000.

[@kaigannon6495]

0:27 When you know you fucked up

[@csonkaperdido]

This thing is basically like an LMP car without regulations. I like.

[@xhxsxbx1]

What does that block off plate on the turbo in the preview do?

[@hpa101]

It helps in checking for boost leaks - Taz.

[@jaspersonnyoner]

Guessing it blows smoke through the intake system to help find boost leaks

[@xhxsxbx1]

I didn't know it was diagnosis. Thanks for getting back to me. I I lost a little bit of sleep last night when I was trying to figure out what was going on. Haha.

[@danielbrealey2924]

Ah, I just asked the same question... That makes sense then

[@GreenJeep1998]

I was wondering too, makes sense.

[@tptrsn]

Amazing technical content as usual, thanks!!

[@cncwoodarts]

In you videos it would be great to have a section of car performance, actual driving footage, sounds, and capabilities showcasing the technology, or car documented. 30-60sec would be great!

[@hpa101]

That's exactly what we do when we can get the footage =) We can't always get it though noting that at any one event we could be talking from 10-20 people about a range of things, it's pretty hectic - Taz.

[@lachiewood9218]

Love these videos! The suspension set up is new to me, thanks for the explanation!

[@RallyDriva]

Sad to see this project die, truly amazing work coming out of that shop.

[@MindBlowerWTF]

Why? What is going on?

[@toddxhiggins]

MindBlowerWTF he's selling it

[@izzieb]

Todd Higgins At a massive loss too. $1 million USD and selling for about $90k.

[@jimmydanc]

? He runs the shop Out of Las Vegas building them now

[@hpa101]

[@subohmcircus]

Awesome car in development. I wonder though if, due to the unlimited nature of the rules, whether a few opportunities for innovation has been left out. With the resources available, an exploration into having the front and rear spoilers run in an unsprung configuration, could have been implemented. This would of negated the need for the 3rd spring arrangements. It does add some unsprung weight but does not effect the rotating mass. This would have a lot of technical issues to work through such as the separation between the upper diffusor edge and the lower edge of the rear element. Maybe a flexible skirt between the two to control the airflow. There's a great explanation on Kyle Engineers channel about unsprung weight. Another cool thing to see on this car would be electric drive to the front wheels on demand. It would not have to be a big heavy system. Just a little helper for front end turn when needed. Thoughts? DOCILE Forever!!!

[@brettus9115]

Excellent video. Most interesting for me was the brake setup and good to see the 3576 turbo's getting some love! If they're GTX then 1000hp should be doable...

[@nic9624]

Qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

[@petermuller161]

It was my understanding that there was no way to remove heat from the motor, no fault of the radiators or pump or any of the setup but a thermal limitation of the block.

[@andrewbeaton3302]

DUDE awesome video! Thank you for the post and thank you for the details!

[@mugshotmarley]

Followed this car from the begining, years ago. What an amazing feat by Cody @ lovefab. Also, he's selling it too! Check out his instagram

[@slws14]

I see Andre i hit like !

[@ThatHoodlum19]

Crazy tech. Love it!

[@fredomeireles]

Thanks for the lesson. Amazing car!

[@N4CR]

Wonder if they could just run adjustable magnetic dampers? Less weight and complication to suspension. Lmao at using a 5.3. Epic. They're good for around 700-800hp stock but the K1/JEs will do wonders for going over that if the top end is looked after. Glad they went dry sump, a given for any LS over 1-1.2G sustained. Looks like I have a new goal racecar. Unlimited aero is what I'm looking for. Love the presenter, someone who actually knows cars. Great stuff! Sounds like a kiwi or maybe an Auzzie haha. Subbed.

[@hpa101]

Thanks for the sub. There are a few other great Tech Tours from this years Pikes Peak on here. The car is also for sale last we saw so you might even be able to get a jumpstart on your project if you're quick! And we're Kiwis, so your guess was on the money, well done! - Taz.

[@N4CR]

Thank you, I'll check them out. Also a Kiwi so it was cheating for me to figure it out! Would have to sell current track car and save a lot more, so I think this is a long term goal ;) If you're ever interested in checking out one of (if not the) most modified, track built, LS swapped S2000s on the planet, the first JDM one in existence, in Auckland in later Q4 upon completion, let me know. Not sure how it will do on track competitively as theyre' heavier than other Honda chassis but there is a definitely a good chance to set the NZ N/A Honda record in the 1/4. It's currently track/road race focused, yet bit of an all rounder until it finds a niche. Might go Time attack, might stay more casual track focused.. who knows. Some of highlights include dry sump LS3, T56 mag, '15 z/28 diff, 6 pots, basic suspension mods for now before dialling it in, Link Extreme for modern functionality, lots more rubber, with a mostly stock look etc. Also love filming and editing. Cheers

[@hpa101]

haha good work either way! Sounds like quite the project,. We'll look you up if we're ever in Auckland, and feel free to send us an email if you're ever in Queenstown and also I'd be interested to hear your time once you hit the strip - Taz.

[@jimmydanc]

They run some crazy Steve morris billet engine now lol

[@gedasalekveravicius5466]

Why turbo is blocked off? Does air gets delivered by that hose?

[@hpa101]

This is done to aid in checking for boost leaks prior to hitting the mountain - Taz.

[@ChiefStyn]

How many packages are apart of that package?

[@hpa101]

#packageception - Taz

[@bucketslash11]

Red Bull should design and build the X2010/11/14 fan car and enter it in the unlimited class

[@TechSalvager]

What material are they using for the turbo manifold?

[@blyndrotor]

TechSalvager Metal. I guess. Seriously though it would be probably be a stainless tuned length setup then thermal wraped to maintain the heat in the manifold. The wraps main benefit is keeping the heat in the manifold which maintains gas velocity and helps with throttle response.

[@TechSalvager]

I have high doubts its stainless, if it is, its gonna have to be a higher grade. If anything I would expect it to be inconel

[@blyndrotor]

TechSalvager Maybe.

[@blyndrotor]

TechSalvager I would guess a stainless (high grade/quality) would be the better $$ option as it would not be subjected to the amount of thermal cycles as a daily driven car nor would require the longevity either.

[@helpallanimals3096]

It is 304 stainless. If you go on Honda-Tech and look in the "welding and fabrication" section you can see where he and others started building these must be 15 years ago. Some are made from thick stainless pipe and others from thinner stainless tubing. He used to build very fast turbo civics and NSX's you can find his username "Tinker219" but there's lots of turbo manifold build topics on that site.

[@bradpittman5075]

Andre is a patriot.

[@blackturbine]

Came here because i saw a cup on a turbo intake

[@DTunedMotorsport]

Black turbine In part of the video they were talking about solving boost leaks. Looks like a home made boost leak tester with that fitting threaded into it.

[@naterally1]

I watch this and cant stop thinking Sons of Anarchy

[@danieloliver6563]

Needs bigger mic.

[@hpa101]

We'll work on that for you Daniel. The wind up there is pretty bad so the giant rug on the mic was worth it for audio quality, although Andres mum said she thought he still looked pretty cool which has to count for something! - Taz.

[@michaelgunning347]

See no issue ( hear no issue )

[@ryanbarbolt3691]

Why would you use an iron block on a race car when there are many aluminum ls blocks that can be used?

[@mugshotmarley]

Ryan Barbolt You can find the iron block LS everywhere, for super cheap too. Plus, I would think that they designed the engine to be a structural part in this race car. In that aspect, the added weight from using an iron block over the lighter alum block is not necessarily be a bad thing.

[@dozer1642]

Ryan Barbolt more downforce.

[@RussellTelker]

It is an aluminum block. L33 5.3l aluminum block.

[@troyam6607]

All these Jokers thinking that old mate is an Aussie haha

[@chrishamilton2559]

Troy AM South African?

[@WilliamMoser]

chris hamilton Kiwi is my guess.

[@hpa101]

Kiwi for the win. 🇳🇿 - Ben

[@MalachiTheBowlingGod]

"It was like climbing over large rocks..." - #ThatAccent

[@shitbox7413]

LS the world!

[@danielbrealey2924]

What is with the air inlets for the turbos being blocked and having a small air line plumbed into it??? What the hell is going on there?

[@iownyounoobs]

That would be way too restrictive on the turbo and would probably cause it to fail. Its most likely a boost leak tester, where they pump in compressed air to check for leaks in the entire system.

[@paulmryglod4802]

o is u, a is e, e is I, this version of inglesh is chaos!

[@hpa101]

We like to keep you on your toes Paul! Just wait until we change all the spelling and then release our own dictionary ;) - Taz

[@jota5969]

2nd fastest with a boost leak!?

[@hpa101]

And a bumpstart via reverse just before the finish line. Will be nice to see what it can do in the future with some better weather and luck, but that's racing and part of the challenge either way - Taz.

[@julianmcclintock4763]

Kiwi bro? (my guess) decent vid regardless dude

[@hpa101]

Are you inferring that being a Kiwi is a bad thing?! I'm going to take a punt that you might be Australian then? haha Glad that you enjoyed the vid Julian, we certainly enjoy making them - Taz.

[@julianmcclintock4763]

High Performance Academy lol heaven's no brother I'm 100% kiwi :) It's not often youtube presents me content made by the locals so I was like "pretty sure that bro is a kiwi so ask him". Later Tata.

[@cliotrophy230]

**WHY NOT FIT A 106KG ELMER RACING 'THOR' ENGINE FOR A SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT ADVANTAGE? COST TOO MUCH?**

[@hpa101]

The Enviate Hypercar was actually produced on a pretty tight budget, the Thor engine at a guess is around $100,000USD more than the LS that is in there :)

[@DBHHellhound]

It needs a 4g63 with short stroke and 1000hp kit.

[@98integraGSR]

...no. shut up.

[@j.osborne4914]

I got excited seeing this thing without the body on but with the body I think its really ugly.

[@chestermcgillicuddy4368]

Fastest car you've ever driven but didn't actually show it being driven? Brutal!

[@hpa101]

There are a couple of shots of it being driven. This is a tech tour though so we are focusing on the tech. Just search youtube for "Enviate Hypercar" and you will find heaps of videos of it driving. - Ben

[@feeshtacos]

put a twin turbo hemi in it !!!

[@toyotanerd2269]

my p100 d is faster

[@hpa101]

I mean. Cool I guess. In 2016 a Tesla Model S did the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in 11:48 this car did it in 10:19, Paul (the driver) had to stop, and bump start it in reverse. So just doing the maths...your car probably isn't faster. Don't get me wrong Josh we like EV, just what you are saying probably isn't correct. Check out this video might be a little more up your alley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3_ZeKepqLhmgdE - Ben

[@toyotanerd2269]

+High Performance Academy I don't have a Tesla. I was trolling

[@hpa101]

I can't tell who "won"? - Ben

[@toyotanerd2269]

+High Performance Academy let's call it a draw

[@Aseutester]

underwear Man I concur, you're a troll.

[@TheAmazingKraken]

such a heavy/annoying accent

[@hpa101]

He sounds pretty normal to me ;) - Ben
