The Cardinal Rule of Turbocharging

[@TheIceman1564]

while viewership may be down on tech videos, your true followers appreciate them very much. Your knowledge is second to none, and to be able to get it for free on youtube is a blessing. I've purchased one of your shirts in hopes that it entices you to keep doing this. Thank you

[@Harry_Gersack]

But look at the ratio of views to likes 👏 Across youtube I'd guess the average ratio is more like 7 to 1 or 6 to 1

[@n.w.d.outdoors]

I’m with you! I just bought a shirt and found myself in here afterwards. I dig these style vids

[@747Mode]

Agreed. Subbed because of this tech

[@garybotha6744]

You are a living, walking, talking library of knowledge built up of years of doing stuff. I watch your tech stuff as there is always so much to learn.

[@Lawsy2]

The nitty gritty of how this is done is most definitely of interest, and I don't even own a car with a turbo...

[@MrCooldude5231]

If you’re worried about scaring off mass viewers with tech stuff, please make another channel. A whole bunch of us in here just to see how you do things, and catch bits of knowledge as we can. Videos like this one that’s chalked full of just knowledge is a huge blessing. I for one would watch every tech video you post. Likely multiple times. Keep it up man!

[@Harry_Gersack]

I think he won't scare off regular viewers. After all this is pretty much a tech channel, if he's machining or explaining probably doesn't matter that much to us. The only difference is that the explanation videos lack sick time lapse music 🤘 Overall views mainly depend on the title and thumbnail of the video. That's what get's random viewers, which in turn exites the algorithm which in turn gives you more random viewers again and so on...

[@autoperfectionk24]

Rule #1 - Only take advice from people that have done/learnt & have proven results from their years of hard work. Well done. Your videos like these are far ahead of most the stuff you see on KZbin.

[@mr2chet527]

Tech videos are easily my favorite. Especially the traction control content!!!

[@genuinegarage]

Im the oddball that doesn't need fireworks celebrities and special effects. Please continue the tech tips and data deep dives. They are my favorite. An actual racer with a turbo car

[@isaiahjohnson4105]

Agree 10,000 percent. Don't change a thing please

[@given0fox968]

Watch every video you put out, and I have no ability to use any of the info. I just resonate with your humor, music, craftsmanship, and sensibilities 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

[@niceguybille]

The tech stuff is some of my favorite content! 🙂

[@perfectlyundonecustoms]

I learned everything you are talking about here back in 1996 when I bought my Buick Grand National T-Type. On street tires I could launch at 5 psi, around 3000 rpm. Go over that, I would blow my tires off and I would be throttling for a quarter mile doing the G-Body shuffle! 😅

[@TurboDog73TX]

Your tech vids are the only reason I watch. There's tons of guys that produce "car entertainment" videos. There's VERY few that make actually useful content. And even fewer guys are competent or successful enough to warrant My attention. Those (like You Pete) are the voices a lot of us seek out..

[@winstonpratt604]

Big Facts I don't watch every Cleeter Video anymore 😅 but by God I watch the ones with Pete in them 💯🔥💥👌

[@thebarkingmouse]

As the son of an engineer who works in IT professionally, I really enjoy the technical videos. I turbocharged my first car in 1985 having no idea what I was doing. A 1978 BMW 320i with a kit that I bought out of a back of a magazine. If I had nearly immediately crashed the car, the kit probably would have destroyed the motor in short order, but it worked real well for a little while until I hit a dirt bank about 80 miles an hour.

[@kam0kazi]

I live vicariously through these videos as if I had the means to even do one iota of anything

[@jeremypietrzak7036]

I really like this channel. It’s like Steve’s channel but going in depth on all kinds of relatable stuff. And Pete is awesome! Came here from the Cleeter videos

[@ronn147]

The tech stuff is great! Keep them coming. I know I always enjoy learning new stuff.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

Man Thank You Pete!!! You deserve props for letting us in, and giving away your hard earned knowledge you have acquired over your career.. 30yrs ago, I was 15, and got my first job in a hot rod shop working for an alcoholic ass hole.. He was always mad, and there was literally nothing I could do to please the guy, and I wouldn't dare ask a question, I had to learn by watching and staying the FUCK out of HIS WAY!! I had learned a lot from my grandpa, but that asshole did teach me to machine a lot of parts, deck heads, blocks, grind & lap valves, cut and replace seats, build heads, pressure test & magnaflux, Learned to correctly measure & bore to spec, and hone to finish, which was a workout, as his wasn't automated, you had to manually lift it up and down.. I only did all this cuz I wanted to learn so bad, and it wasn't as easy as getting on the internet like it is today.. Kids these days have no idea how lucky they are to have Amazingly Talented Individuals like you giving us this content, it was nearly unobtainable only 20-30yrs ago.. But the only bad thing, we have raised a generation of kids that seem to enjoy living their lives through others instead of putting forth the work to enjoy their own life.. Kinda sad how awesome things can also ruin the ones who don't have structure, discipline, or upbringing that makes them Enjoy Working Hard & Completing Nearly Any Task. No Matter What it may be, as doing so is SO REWARDING TO MY SOUL..

[@zambonidriver42]

Thanks Pete! I like the tech videos! It’s like access behind the curtain with the great and powerful Oz.

[@dbayallday]

This is incredibly interesting, this is the kind of quality information explained in an intelligent way that I’ve been looking for forever. No body puts in the effort to talk about the nitty gritty. I love it

[@FrankJones-ne2qo]

I feel it is a must to watch this to get a free education after watching and appreciate the improvements you have made on the cars you tune

[@magnumcipher4971]

I enjoy the tech aspect of the racing industry more than anything else. Thanks Pete!

[@naughtmeenaym869]

People need to learn things to do stuff better even if they don't do that stuff. Good video.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

The idiosyncrasies of turbos can definitely be complicating. With big changes in DA you can't even get up on the 2-step like what I saw with Garrett at Bandimere. Depending on your launch RPM you can have a similar issue. Cool to see this in detail. Thankfully it is a lot easier to figure out these days for the most part.

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

I like the Tech videos. But thats just what I think. I've always wondered how much faster Buddy Ingersoll's Buick Regal could have been with today's Turbo engine management. Good stuff my friend. Like button energized.

[@michaelwiddifield920]

Thanks for the education man.That's worth more than you can imagine.I realize you don't make a lot of money off of youtube but you make a lot of friends who'll back you up later

[@UGGdyno]

I support the tech videos, please keep them coming! Total views might be lower, but those of us that are into the tech REALLY appreciate you taking the time.

[@wastelandmetal]

Pete, I enjoy your music on your channel and noticed you're using Cubase from your desktop icon. I've been an audio engineer recording and mixing bands for around 30 years now (yes I'm old). So, if you're ever in a pinch for time or need a little help working on a project/song drop me a line. I can accommodate Cubase or about any DAW. And, I love the tech videos and your original music. So refreshing to see someone who takes the time to create and share original music in their content.

[@realgoodatdoinstuff900]

I'm very interested in what you have to say about this. I am kinda out in the wilderness here....I don't really have any musician friends who can help me with this or even anyone I can bounce ideas off of. So many want an "album' or spotify option from me, but I don't have any idea what's involved in that. I work from the top down and know zero about mastering, etc. I have terrible problems with latency when using microphones on vocals or horns. All kinds of technical issues that I just have to come up with work arounds for. It would be nice to have someone to consult with occasionally.

[@wastelandmetal]

@@realgoodatdoinstuff900 It's not terribly difficult to get your music on the streaming services. Probably the easiest way is to use one of the publishing services like Distro Kid or CDBaby. Latency issues can be tricky, and a lot of it depends upon the PC, DAW, and audio interface you're using. It gets pretty technical quickly when sorting out latency in some scenarios, but typically it's a matter of understanding buffer sizes and how each DAW handles latency compensation. I'm not sure how to get in contact, but I'd be happy to discuss your issues.

[@realgoodatdoinstuff900]

@@wastelandmetal maybe you could call the shop sometime?

@@realgoodatdoinstuff900 Yeah, that will work. Let me know when the best time of day is to catch ya when not too busy making things go fast :)

[@KCadbyRacing]

Had to stop to say, I still love the *I can't wait* intro 👍 Now back to learning some Turbo Stuff 😎

[@auriceburrell8148]

I remember when we worked with one of the 1st haltechs in the late 80s, haltech f3, had a radio shack laptop, and the screen was just a bar graph and did fuel only, locked out the distributor at 28 degrees and that was it. The basic components of the turbo system havent changed just now we have a sensor for everything, need one to weigh the driver also. Lol. But what you are saying makes so much sense, the consistency of starting line launch. Before transbrake and your right foot, now 2 step, co2 controls, ignition timing, and boost ramp.

[@FunForAll58008]

20k views with 3.5k likes says a lot. You are a master of your craft sir. Love the content.

Once I got this right and all my advance tables dialed in. It was a game changer for everything. Makes it a lot easier when you know what it’ll do at the line so you can worry about the million other things. Love the tech videos.

[@blksrsil]

Fantastic video as usual Pete. Would be awesome if you could do a vid outlining the importance of manifold design in controlling boost. Its all too common to see someone struggling with boost creep because they've just slapped a gate on the side of a manifold with no thought about prioritizing exhaust flow to the gate

[@bpittman440]

I Could definitely see where shaft speed and boost pressure in a log would be very beneficial, especially if you have barometric pressure, temp and humidity data with it. Talk about building a tune table for just about any condition! No more guesses on tune up after you have enough data. There's probably an easier way of doing this though....

[@markwaltrip8960]

I'm mainly watch you and Steve Moore's to learn things you guys don't hide when stuff breaks you guys find out how it breaks and that's more interesting and that way you learn what not to do it's hard for some people to say they don't know what the hell they're doing and there might be somebody out there smarter than them might not be there smarter than them but they broke a lot of stuff and now know not what to do😊

[@mitchellholroyd2837]

Best intro in the business!

[@Shademax4273]

Holley using fuel flow in the ve map confused me at first. But with a wideband you can calculate airflow pretty well.

[@Analogtodigital]

Some people be shocked to find out pulling too much timing on a turbo car in good air actually makes mo power. Something something compressor not being directly connected to the crank and the relaxed timing energizing the exhaust to the turbine.

[@carmstrong782]

[@davidsawyer1599]

Echoing and encouraging all of the positive statements. Your statement about the science or technical videos do not receive the views is not only true it says everything about society. Folks do not participate in their local government. Their children's lives and so on and so forth. Then they have the gaul to question how things went bad. Because they didn't put forth the effort! I get it. Folks don't want to think. They want easy to comprehend. I don't watch dyno pulls. Most machining videos. Shananagins or the like. Cleetus/Garret has built a great brand by tailoring his product to that crowd. Good for him for recognizing that market. I seldom watch that channel. I find myself fast forwarding through his presentations. I will subscribe. Probably get some merch as well. Thanks for your honesty and my edification.

[@dmbworks8094]

it would also be cool to see the tuning break down of round to round from an event. if cleetus gets you to send him tunes you can explain how you read the results to make improvements and win the event!
