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

[@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...

[@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.

[@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

[@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...

[@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!!!

[@joshrawlings2621]

Go to a College or a School of Course’s that you can negotiate a bit of bargaining with. They help you with the Imaging & Display aspects… Tech the tech segment…. You can fix anything they got that’s broken. As, “Your Real Good At Fixin’ Stuff”

[@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 💯🔥💥👌

[@niceguybille]

The tech stuff is some of my favorite content! 🙂

[@Tyler-xd7hh]

Thanks Pete, I look forward to your videos every time.

[@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.

[@hotrodporsche996]

One of my favorite channels! Thank you!

[@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 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

[@kam0kazi]

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

[@rayowens4355]

I find the tech stuff fascinating! Keep them coming!

[@zambonidriver42]

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

[@ronn147]

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

[@naughtmeenaym869]

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

[@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! 😅

[@icetech6]

Thanks for doing the tech vids.. i would rather feed my brain than see shit blow up :)

[@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.

[@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?

[@wastelandmetal]

@@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 :)

Real good stuff doers, here we go!

[@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.

[@Jbomb-ep4jr]

Some of the best content on YT! Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@edellenburg78]

I might not be the norm but I like tech videos and learning. I won't watch certain KZbinr because all they seem to do it want to break or ruin things most people would love to have

[@Oliverfamilyracing]

Dont stop with the tech, we all appreciate the sharing of your knowledge

[@BentleyMotorsports]

The Tech is why some of us are here. your wisdom is appreciated, thank you!

FYI-The blue line barely shows on my monitor.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@KCadbyRacing]

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

[@toddmeade6804]

Real good at tech talk he'll yeah

[@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

[@MarkEichelberger-cw6cb]

I don't have a racecar but I enjoy your tech videos... mechanical. engineering information from knowledgeable people is priceless!

Not a drag racer but enjoy the tech especially polishing turds. Retired almost 50 years in machine shops(job shops). Never worked in engine shops. Your shop and machines are so nice and organized. I can really appreciate that cuz I’ve worked in some crappy shops. Like watching you keep Cleetus tuned.

[@michaelhancock8561]

Greetings from the UK - I came from Cleetus but stayed for the epic tunes and your general attitude is funny as hell... Keep the content coming

[@FunForAll58008]

[@koop-mi4mc]

You can for sure keep talking and we will listen. Wish you kept going, thank you sir!

[@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....

[@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.

[@vehdynam]

Good solid information , and very much appreciated. More tech please, many thanks.

[@psybonix]

Great video explaining the fundamentals of how to create a controlled leave. 🎉🎉

[@FadetoBlack1463]

[@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😊

[@Shademax4273]

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

[@rsmith2786]

Really helpful! Thank you. I'd love to see a video on setting up the two step and building boost to a specific target in Holley.

[@tyger13us]

I want a blown SBC with a clutch like in mad max, twin carbed. NO PUTER to mess with and sensors to fail, no injectors to fail and torch the motor. EGT and a AFR meter. simple shit. Time it by the PLUG readings and jet the carbs progressive for the rpm boost . ya know the drill. Old school stuff. dependable and reliable..

[@theraggededge6652]

I see that Bass in the background. I have a few of those also.

[@rcrocker2197]

One thing is building all the power but you have to be able to know how to use it & apply that to the track 👍

[@jdoggsgarage4494]

I don’t quite understand why so many drag racers focus so much on dome pressure. It’s good know what the dome pressure is but manifold pressure is what matters at the end of the day. I can look at the closed loop boost solenoid duty and tell you how good or bad the air is, I’ll add some boost with a modifier if closed loop boost duty is more than a certain amount higher than the base table.

[@omwtfym12]

when that bass drops cannnnnnnn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu keep it up pete!

[@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

[@davidnewton3485]

Anyone that does not like thie valuble info aint good at doing stuff and thats it . I much appreciate learning and you are a great teacher thanks for your knowedge .

[@markmonroe7330]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@Jeffsa12]

Interesting stuff.... Would being able to get an air density number in the intake be a better indicator of power developed before launching than using intake pressure with fuel flow being a backup? I'm guessing manifold air temp has a big part in how much hp is being developed. I learned of manifold air density watching Gale Banks channel where he's working with diesel engines.

[@bigmatlock62]

So basically am I right in thinking you need a monitored closed loop pressure sensor in the fuel pressure circuit that defines what the actuators that are controlling the wastegate and blow off valve are doing. Which in turn needs sensors that are monitoring the pressures within all those components

[@markwise9868]

It's always crazy to me how many people show up at the track with a car not ready to make a pass! I get doing normal between rounds maintenance and things like plug checks, but not having a car that runs properly in the first place is baffling!
