boost school's architecture in explanation is just a copy of High performance academy videos except for a few differences. #1; Andre Simon of High performance academy is far more knowledgeable and experienced especially concerning the performance aspect of vehicles having built thousands and his personal evo at one time being the fastest evo in the world before retiring it from drag racing. #2 Boost school is free, hpa is not although they do offer some free tutorials.. #3 Hpa doesn't push a product for profit but rather has tutorials on varied brands like Haltech, Link, Vipec, fueltech, Motec aswell as AEM etc being far more expansive, indepth and not limited. Don't get me wrong, I like what he's doing by providing basic guides to the consumer providing a theory that's free but if you want an in-depth tutorial on engine building specifics, wiring, tuning etc from a proven technician, hpa is where it's at.

[@nferraro222]

Loved this. Sounds like a pretty ambitious series. A little bit of fun history - Buick originally started experimenting with twin turbos in the mid-sixties. Single turbos of the time were too small to fit a big-block engine, so they stuck twin turbos on a 425 cube dual-quad nailhead V8. The engine cranked out around 750 pounds of torque and the project was immediately shut down by the legal department. Considering the brakes, tires and handling of the time, that was probably a good idea.

[@Kj16V]

Since this is a "university level" series, I have to pull you up on your use of "turbo lag". What you're describing throughout this video isn't lag, it's actually "boost threshold" ; the engine rpm where the turbo starts making boost. "Lag", on the other hand, is the delay between mashing the throttle and getting boost *when rpm is already over the boost threshold.* Lag is predominantly affected by the design of the turbocharger and the length of your intercooler and pre-turbo exhaust pipework. Boost threshold is affected by turbo design as well, but also engine design (compression ratio, cylinder head flow, cam profile, etc.). Besides that though, I'm loving this video and look forward to the rest of the series 😊

[@jschreiber7765]

This is an excellent video history, the best I have seen. The first turbo I ever owned came from a jetfire, but I did not own the car. I hoped to use it to hotrod something. That never happened, I would have gotten much more boost from the $100 I spent on it, by purchasing MSFT. In '79 I added water injection (sprayed right down the carburetor throat) more boost and a distributor recurve to a Mustang Pace Car 2.3 turbo. What a wakeup call in performance. Next a 79 900T, water into the Turbo inlet, 18# no intercooler! Still a turbo junkie. Played with Aquamist circa 89. Water methanol injection is the holy grail, and the AEM product is very reasonably priced. .. Keep the videos coming.

Great video ! I've watched a couple of your others and have found them to be very informative as well as being pretty accurate and correct. Your presentation and commentary are easy to follow and you do a nice job of keeping the topic interesting all the way through to the end. I only have one small complaint about this video. No mention of Chrysler products during the 80's anybody who was around back then in North or even South America remembers the Turbo cars that Chrysler produced back then. While GM had made some half baked attempts in the 60's and 70's, in the 80's they were only available on special editions of certain cars. Chrysler beginning in 1985 offered a turbocharged engine in virtually every single front wheel drive based car they sold, they even had Turbo minivans. I know you're over on the other side of the pond and the auto markets are different in what manufacturers will sell to different markets, but it was really frustrating seeing GM and Ford in the 80's with no mention at all of Chrysler who was far more invested into the technology than the other 2 at the time. Please don't apologize for anything, your video is still great and would recommend it to anyone!

No mention of the iconic 1990 Toyota/Lexus Soarer with the now legendary 1JZ-GTE Twin Turbo? :( JX81 Cressida? I had one, what a rocket ship! A grandpa sleeper that would kick ass over ANY V8 that was normally aspirated. At 15 lbs of boost, the little 2.5 ltr 6 cylinder would suck as much air as a 5.0 litre without the weight. Pure enjoyment. :) Great vid btw... I just felt passed over as I love my Toyota performance stuff. Other classic engines... 2TG-GTE 4AG-GZE (Supercharged) 2JZ-GTE......

yes if you have to use a different type of fuel to get the power goal you want, depending of the combustion rate of that fuel... if its not the same as for what the OEM system was tuned/able to self calibrate for, getting an aftermarket engine management system is almost mandatory if you intend of taking the rpm over what the starter can give it.

Loved this! I hope you are happy with how this first episode of Boost School is received by viewers. Your production quality, level of information and manner of presenting are enjoyable as always! Your 'advert' portions are short and not intrusive - some people will make a very hard cut in their videos and their voice level and the screen changes a lot, making it more of an interruption to the viewing experience (like adverts on TV where they have a higher volume to reach you in the kitchen while you're getting that coffee) - the parts where you mention AEM products are quick and clean, but still show us some of their relevant range. The most distracting 'advert' was that one with the guy crawling out of his car to drink from a bucket! I enjoyed this a lot, and I am grateful to have free education and humour from you! You seem so natural, like you were meant to do this... Maybe we'll get an out-takes video at the end of the course with all those pronunciations ;) You make all this look easy, and it really isn't... which means you've put a lot of effort in. Brilliant start! Thank you!

I honestly can't thank you enough for your comments. They're incredible motivation. Almost a like bits of magic

[@chibacha21_CarBoi]

Thanks for the awesome video, I really enjoyed it! There is more potential for electrically-assisted turbos. Current-gen F1 cars already demonstrate that turbo lag is virtually non-existent and the inertia of the turbo shaft can generate electricity for later use, replacing wastegates as the turbine speed is kept below the turbo threshold. With modern technology, this means that we can have almost perfect boost control depending on engine rpm and load, as well as throttle pedal inputs. Can't wait to implement that tech in a possible future build: a RWD Hyundai Getz powered by a quad-turbo, mid-mounted Viper V10 with a Nissan Exroid CVT. Let's see, I'm still a teen... 🤞

[@steveskouson9620]

In the early '70's, a good friend bought a 62 Monza convertible. In 1962, Chevrolet didn't have a special VIN for the Spyder, they all shared the same VIN sequencing. So, his red Coevair became the Spyder version, with a wee bit of work, and a Spyder, my brother destroyed. He ran that car, for quite a few decades. It shared a garage, with a 29 Model A Victoria, a 64 Impala, a 62 Impala, and a 57 Fliptop Ford. I changed out the engine, in the Model A, and changed main and rod bearings in the Skyliner. steve

Correction, the SAAB 99 was released fore sale in 1978, 100 pre production cars were made in 1977 as test cars. It was also the first turbo car with a wastegate to control boost, is there any turbocar made to day without one. Saab or should i say Per Gillbrand, also invented the Automatic Performance Control (APC) system that all Saab 900 turbos were fitted with from 1982 onwards. In 1978 in the swedish rally, the first ever tubo rallycar won a world rally competiton, Saabs factory rallyteam 99 Turbo Driven by Stig Blomqvist. When saab launched the 9-5 in 1997, and the 9-3 the year after, you no longer could by a n/a Saab, they were all turbos.

[@tomashton1781]

Back in my day, blow off valves were crude, and inter coolers were taking up space, If I had a choice between blowing thru a carb or having a carb in front of the turbo inlet, the fuel charge might help the compressor heat. The real deal with computerized fuel injection ,is each cylinder is equal in flow numbers plus the injectors are timed to each intake valve, so no fuel is wasted during the valve over lap, prior to that cat converters were just a band -aid.

[@aterack833]

That “e-turbo” thing is something I’ve thought similar to since I learned that turbos work based on exhaust coming out of the engine being at a higher flow/volume/pressure than the air coming in and thus was free (or otherwise wasted) energy, except I was just thinking more of a exhaust powered alternator, later the whole accessory pack, at some point I thought maybe a variable ratio gearbox to join it to the engine and for a brief moment I thought of using it to charge a hybrid battery, I was close, just not that close, I was also planning on using a gearbox the whole time to bring the speed to that of an off the shelf generator or motor generator, seeing this brings new ideas to mind

Just an added note.The turbo "charger" was called a turbo "normalizer" like mentioned in the video it started life on airplane engines to compensate for altitude. They didn't make boost they just pressurized the air enough to simulate barometric pressure at sea level.

Kind of crazy that this original 1905 patent would have been for high altitude flight given that manned, powered flight had only achieved a handful of meters at that point. There was rapid development in the years to come but that the impetus for that patent was flight strikes me as bizarre.
