    The Fast and Furious franchise has given us car nerds a lot of enjoyment. These movies help shape the culture of the automotive world we live in, one quarter mile at a time. But on another hand, they also led us astray when it comes to the actual physics in some of their more famous scenes. “Busters” turbo hack, 100mph in reverse, doing a wheel stand WHILE doing a burnout? Today on Bumper2Bumper, we are gonna take a look at some of these feats of impossible physics and break out some engineering truth on some of our favorite Fast and Furious myths. Let go!

      The reason they did that was because they had a hydraulic bar that would lift the front end of the charger so it could do a wheelie. They added smoke so viewers couldn't see the bar that lifted the front. If was nothing more than movie magic so the scene was more interesting

  • @trainzguy2472
    @trainzguy2472 Před 3 lety +49

    In regards to a car going fast in reverse, you could technically do it with a "standard" transmission -- only if your car had a CVT. A Dutch company called DAF made CVT cars in the 60s and 70s, which gave birth to an unusual competition called "Dutch reverse racing." DAF cars had no speed limiter in reverse gear, which meant the car's reverse top speed was the same as its forward top speed.

    The real show-stopper to this is the steering geometry of a car. The steering is set up in a way to get a good directional stability and a righting / restoring moment. While driving forward...
    Driving reverse, this effect also reverses: The car does not want to drive straightforward by itself and if the wheels start to steer in one direction, they want to increase the steering angle.

    @psykology9299 Před rokem +2

    Actually with regards to turboing a carbed engine, i know from the 22R in my Hilux that you just have to connect a boost line to the mechanical fuel pump, the fuel pump in the 22R is rated to around 15psi, but during use it never actually goes past around 6 or 7 psi, so you can easily add up to 6 or 7 psi of boost without changing anything other than adding a nipple to your fuel pump. The airflow will increase 1:1 with the fuel flow, its not a serious performance upgrade but it is a cheap way of getting some extra hrsprs out of a carbed engine provided it has a readily accessible fuel pump and that that fuel pump has a high enough pressure rating... Something similar can probably be done with that shitbox dom races in Cuba.

      Yeah pretty much! What sux about the N2O though, is (especially with a decent size shot) keeping the bottle full! I only ran a 200hp plate on one of my cars like 15 yrs ago, and it lasts for quite literally a handful of passes down the strip before you have to top the bottle back off ($$$).
      Can be tricky too if you're trying to run "consistent" times, as the bottle pressure is always changing. You can, of course, use bottle heaters and stuff, but at that point, you've spent over a grand on you nitrous setup (which you still have to keep getting refilled). It's definitely not for the "budget racer" imho
      Turbocharge the engine and be done with it! :)
      ...and add nitrous to that later for extra fun. lol
      btw, nitrous works really well with turbos (a "50hp shot" will make around 100hp extra with forced induction, too)

    Meanwhile, in your videos you forgot to mention the supercharging effect of NOS by cooling the air going inside the air intake. That's in part what makes the mixture more efficient (cooler air = higher density). It's called chemical forced induction. BTW, the NOS won't ignite at explosion, but the bottle under high temperature (the car is on fire) can explode because of expansion of the gas contained inside. So the coloured flames might be kind of right actually ^^.

    On the reverse thing, when interviewed, the stunt techs who worked on the cars actually said making a car drive backwards at speed was a really simple device attached to the transmission. Sure, it's not your everyday part, but it's possible.

    Got to see a presentation at universal done by the stunt drivers, the way they said they normally do the car driving backwards trick is they actually get the body mounted backwards on the frame and have the drivers seat and controls still facing the "front". I could see them just having slow cars for the interstate scene though since relative speeds on camera are all sorts of weird.

    There's an automotive Mythbusters show out there that actually tested the wastegate myth. They used an old Chevy Monte Carlo and attached a boat turbo and a carburetor that can adjust its air/fuel mix on the fly. Having the vacuum line loose didn't work but they rigged up a rat trap to pinch the line which actually worked. Sure it didn't have the exact same effect in the movie, but go check it out.

    10:20 you say the car can only go 36.65 mph backwards, but you are assuming a single 3.4:1 reverse gear.
    Given that, when you look at how often they shift in a race, the typical car in the Fast and the Furious franchise has at least 20 forward gears, it is more than likely they have many reverse gears as well.

  • @gtrulez
    @gtrulez Před 3 lety +1

    DAF actually made cars during the late 50's, 60's and 70's with cvt transmissions that could drive just as fast backwards as they could do forwards. They even used them in backwards driving races! They had a class of their own because they could go so fast in reverse. So there are cars that can go fast in reverse. The lancer is just not one of them haha.

    • @__-vb3ht

      Even if the tyres are going up in smoke, there's still some forward drive being produced. People apply the brakes for stationary burnouts, after all. On a bike you can lean backwards, drastically reducing how much torque is needed to lift the front. And onn some bikes it should be possible to jank up the front just with your body, no engine torque required at all
