    "Designers knew what they were doing, and unless you REALLY know what you're doing any modifying will make it worse" "The environment matters because we don't want to poison everyone, make smog, and cause acid rain." Two truths you'll rarely hear from car guys. These guys make amazing videos while being knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and wise. Not the usual "Get rid of your cat to get +15hp, bro!" This makes me a hypocrite though as I drive a '73 VW Bug with terrible emissions (no cat obviously, they didn't put them on back then) and I've modified the crap out of it, including electronic fuel injection. I've had thoughts of, once I get that fuel injection system working well and actually tuned right, maybe after putting a turbo on it, trying to incorporate a catalytic converter into the exhaust, just to see if I could do it and make it work right. Would be a crowded exhaust system, having turbo, cat, and muffler all packed in under the back end of the car as the engine is in the back. Don't have the money or fabrication skills to do something like that ... yet...

      I hope you have a spare bank account lying around. The reason us car guys like to rip them out isn't that we hate the environment, it's that they're more expensive than an engine! you can get a used 5.3 Vortec V8 for around $2,000, which is damn good for such a flexible and reliable (in my experience) engine, being capable of powering a full-size SUV and hammering down like any other vehicle. Honestly, I'd take the Vortec over a cat, simply because it would be worth two grand. An expertly machined chunk of precious metal isn't really interesting, unless it'll make the engine sound better and perform better without me having to sell anything.

    Catalytic Converters really are one of the best improvements for cars ever. Other great advancements that nobody talks about thought is variable valve timing. Without it we’d be stuck still driving seriously underpowered cars to this day like in the 80s. Thanks to variable valve timing. We get great fuel efficiency when we’re just putting around then when we want to stomp on it. We also get awesome power. Another great advancement is fuel injectors. People say it’s more complex but I think it’s easier to work on than a carb. The computer does all the work. All you gotta do is pop the old fuel injector out and plop in a new one. Also I think coil packs are way easier to work on even if it’s more complex to make. Also an idiot can’t wire a coil pack the wrong way like my friend did with his distributor cap. He just put the spark plug wire back any which way and ducking up his car.

      Can carbon monoxide still be dangerous if the car's motor remains on, or is it safe even if I forget to put it off and stay inside the garage??

      In a performance comparison between a BG Race Demon carburetor vs an electronic fuel injection, both installed on a base test engine, the Race Demon carburetor outperformed the fuel injection not only in horsepower, but also in low end torque. Fuel injection is handy if you can't build your own engines/tune your own carbs, etc. But otherwise, it is inferior in terms of performance on naturally aspirated engines.

    I really like how he cares about the environment. Hate guys going "catless" just because it's cheaper and "sounds better". High performance will sound just as good and perform just as well as catless, only downside is that it's a bit more expensive. But it is very well worth it for the only planet we have

      the whole "love our planet" nonsense is a bit rich given people didn't care in the slightest until 3 years ago and even now the whole green movement is idiocy at its best because people think gas powered cars are bad but they ignore the past studies on what batteries do to the environment

  • @JoeIsCrazyWillman
    @JoeIsCrazyWillman Před 4 lety

    Part of the reason of the increased efficiency when using a cat is because of the heat generated within it. Hotter air moves faster in the pipe because of the expansion, creating more pressure, forcing the air along, and (correct me if wrong here) the faster moving atoms also create less friction across the walls of the pipe they're travelling down.
    Now if you understand exhaust velocity and its correlation to scavenging, faster moving gases mean stronger negative pressure behind each pulse... Stronger negative pressure means better scavenging. Better scavenging means a cleaner intake charge, and also possibly a fuller intake charge, helping to suck the air in during the valve overlap. That assistance is a reduction in pumping losses, and the cleaner mixture makes more boom per cycle, which together makes... Moar Powa, Baby! 🙃
