You are at God level of lecturing anything. Your personal energy could be canned and sold as life aid to others. Worth watching any of your videos. Great work!
Corvair had turbos through 1966. Also no water/alcohol injection. Lower compression was used. Just FYI. Your presentations are informative and great, I just am a Corvair guy. Not a complaint.
I helped a buddy put a corvair engine in a vw bug . from what i remember it required to run the engine backwards . and it spun a bearing. But when it ran . it did wheelies...
Growing up in the 80s & 90s we had Turbo everything! I remember having a turbo pencil sharpener, and who didn't own a aftermarket Turbo controller for NES. They had Turbo shaving razors I remember also.

How have I never heard of the Oldsmobile Jetfire? That commercial is amazing, hahaha. The International Scout I have heard of. Pretty popular lately due to the Wrench Every Day channel. This series is going to be huge for you man. Can't wait to see every single episode! Great work. P.S. Damn those retro motorcycles look so cool. Love all this history!
They have been popular for some time now.... Since johnathan ward from icon design has hyped vintage jeeps like the bronco and fj40, pricing them out for most folks........ People compromise for the affordable generic......... Such as these and k5 blazers, and gen 3 broncos.....
22:00 eTurbo looks sooo amazing. This is really well thought design in my opinion. Also whole 'Boost School' is like gift from heaven. Finally something valuable on youtube, I'm excited to see more!
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.
Man, I'm in owe... The hours and effort you have dedicated to this, is admirable... And what's more: understandable for anyone! GREATEST video of turbo tech EVER. CONGRATS!!!
I have been waiting for an in depth, no frills, no sugarcoating, no BS course on turbocharging "theory" for a long time! You bet your behind I'm subscribing!
This is the exact stuff I've wanted on youtube. You are great at explaining stuff. I lot of your videos I was already pretty knowledgable about but every single one I and up learning something new. I'm really looking forward to this series. This is a topic I've really wanted to learn more about
Bro I dropped out of college: electrical engineering just to pursue tuning. I started with programming and diagnostics so I can make some money to fund myself and you are blessing me with this education. Please continue this series brother you are a real motivation to keep learning this stuff. Although you didn’t touch on it, your videos got me very interested in the whole ideology behind this which is called mechatronics (which I plan to go back to school for; maybe ecu in Australia because they have dual degree for motor sports) for those who don’t know. Keep inspiring man much love from New York

My good buddy has an old 215 Jetfire- factory water meth turbo engine. He sold the turbo and water-meth system, but still has the engine. All-aluminum, the ancestor of the Rover V8.
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.
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.
love it. Thank you so much. I am an auto mechanic and work on multiple turbo diesels as well as own a turbo Subaru. I found the format very engaging and informative. I look forward to the next 99 episodes.
Omg by far my most favorite video made by d4a. Ive shared this video with numerous friends and family. They all love it too. I love the history lesson, and he keeps me interested. Excellent work sir. Thank you
I fondly remember the ridiculous power that Formula 1 was making in the 80s. From a small 1500cc engine they were eventually putting out near 1500HP! When they blew up it used to be quite spectacular. But eventually the power and related speeds were getting pretty lethal.
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
Don't forget, saab make the turbo available anormal cars, at 1981 they introduced the first electronic control system for the boost, with Knock sensor! And they developed the direct ignition Saab DI system in 1985! First Model 1988 on sale, and in 1993 the trionic system to control ignition and Injektion + boost together, when you look under the hood on modern car, it is all there!!!
Potential idea for future videos, when listing hp numbers, include a 'g' or 'n' (gross/net) when known to distinguish how the engine output was measured.
I've watched a few of your videos but this announcement is something I'm really keen on, I've just hit the subscribe button... really keen to see these as they come out :)
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 😊
Couldn’t sleep last night, getting ready to do the timing belt on the old lady’s Subaru. Must get old lady’s car squared away before I can finish making my turbo pipes for my variable turbo. Wow turbos have come a long way. Love your vids. I wish I had a friend like you.
@@nilsthemis like all ww2 fighter, use the FW190 a surpercharged engine (centrifugal engine driven supercharger) and was still a high altitude fighter, only some US aircrafts was fitted with turbochargers, first was the P38...
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.
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.
12v cummins, in todays world yup, it's a Joke (no for the home gamer with old vehicles). Modern diesels, make more power with less fuel and more reliability......if maintained properly.
Man Im loving this series already. So many times ive memtioned the jetfire as being the first turbo production car and nobody believes me ( ; _ ; ) love all the videos but really loving the iconic engines and their history and this series too man!
Oh, please. I work for a US company that was mentioned in this video, we make the most powerful jet engines in the world, and we use imperial units for all manufacturing dimensions, with a mix of imperial and metric in the literature. I like metric (or SI, more properly), but the USA's 1970s effort to switch was an utter failure, poorly run. At least we describe our engines in litres.
That plane that had the turbo charged Packard engine...Packard was an amazing engine builder. I had a 1956 Packard patrician with 374 cuin ohv v8 and dual 4 barrels. They also took the rolls Royce Merlin v16, turned some screws and made it fit to propel the p51 mustang.
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...... ADDENDUM: I've just had a look through more of this channel, thanks for covering these iconic Toyota engines. I can put my box of tissues away now. :)
I love you. Thank you for not babying your viewers and making such entertaining and informative content. Can't wait to watch the whole series and learn somethin!
I love this video so much and can't wait for more. You had me the third time you dropped in fundamental parts of turbo history I had no idea about within the first 1/4 of the video and keeping that going through the rest of the video set the hook.
this series is excelent. I'm currently writing about "performance inscrease in Peugeot 205" for my High school, where I'm discussing about wheter the turbocharger used by manufacturer is well paired with the engine or not.
YES YES YES! :-D Been watching your videos for a while now, and i really like the direction you are taking :-) I really hope your subs and views will soon climb to the level of quality of your videos! I definetily will recommend your channel to as much people as possible. Keep up the good work!
I have a 2002 Ti, twin Webber DCOE 45, built engine, Ireland engineering con rods/cylinders 10.3:1 ratio, dr shrick cam, stage 2 Kormen cylinder head, 5speed from a 320i, limited slip rear diff from a 320i. shes a beauty, stock interior. Got a Jackie Stewart steering wheel, custom reversed steel wheels, stretching width between the wheels. You grind the welds on the stock wheels, flip the center, and reweld. Gives a great offset. Drives like a new car, people always get super confused when I say I have a bmw 2002. She just sits in the garage.
Dude, this is such perfect product placement. I get exactly what I want and you get the funding of a perfect sponsorship (and it's AEM so I was already considering buying their products anyway). I've never seen product placement done this right before!
I miss the Saab Automatic Performance Control (APC 1981) a for runner to modern turbo management systems. It allowed higher compression (and power) and different octane by lower the boost when knock occur. Also check out the Saab 900 16v Turbo the first 16V turbo car, a concept that is very popular to day.
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.
Damn it, you have to stop making these interesting videos, I have things to do and I'm sitting here watching video after video. Seriously, keep it up, they are great and very informative.
Excellent ...no let me rephrase there ...Perfect video ! You are awesome for making this kind of video first of all but more so when i get to know so much detail in so many different parameters . AEM did the right move trusting you with this !!!!
I would say that the introduction of the wastegate in 1977 (Saab) and the PID controlled boost pressure in 1981 (Saab) massively contributed to the turbo evolution and improved engine behavior, quality and efficiency for daily usage.
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
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!
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.
@@pjpeerson5229 no, I don't know if thats necessarily wrong. It may mostly just be indicative of how fast things advanced in those early years. Going from a handful of meters to 10k feet from 1905 to 1910.
my friend to be able to transfer to others sufficiently the knowledge its a talent, and you my friend you are blessed , i enjoy to take knowledge from you , god have you good, i will try to support you to my friend and channels at internet, very few channels like this are like diamonds . thank you so much for your time, efford and the energy you put at those videos ...
I’ve always been a v8 guy. I own 4 cars, 3 of them are v8’s ones a pushrod iron big block and the other two are aluminum dohc v8’s. The 4th car is new to me, just bought it in January of this year. It’s a turbo charged 4 cylinder making almost 300hp.

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.
"You cant make power without electronics"
12v cummins "am I a joke to you"
Entirely different motor due to entirely different fuel.
12v cummins, in todays world yup, it's a Joke (no for the home gamer with old vehicles). Modern diesels, make more power with less fuel and more reliability......if maintained properly.
One of the best tutorials on Boost/Turbos. Keep them coming.
Surely his real name was Mr. Boosty??
Collecting parts for my forced induction build, first time doing this so this series couldn't have come at a better time! Subscribed and waiting!
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Sututututu
Man Im loving this series already. So many times ive memtioned the jetfire as being the first turbo production car and nobody believes me ( ; _ ; ) love all the videos but really loving the iconic engines and their history and this series too man!
You should go metric, imperial units are wrong on every point. Even the american engineers use Metric units!
American here; PLEASE go all metric! Inches and feet are stupid.
@@andrewstewart1464 People should just do the conversion, it is easy. Not being able to use both is stupid.
@@JasonKerlin Imperal should be root out. Still useing imperal(converting it) won't do it.
I am able to use imperal, but it is crap after all.
We learn fractions by age 8 and put men on the Moon using Imperial measurements.
Oh, please. I work for a US company that was mentioned in this video, we make the most powerful jet engines in the world, and we use imperial units for all manufacturing dimensions, with a mix of imperial and metric in the literature. I like metric (or SI, more properly), but the USA's 1970s effort to switch was an utter failure, poorly run. At least we describe our engines in litres.
Man I respect the ambition. Subbed to see this series
My favorite turbocharged V6 engine is the 3.8 turbo pushrod v6 from the Buick GN.
This is gonna be an amazing series
That plane that had the turbo charged Packard engine...Packard was an amazing engine builder. I had a 1956 Packard patrician with 374 cuin ohv v8 and dual 4 barrels. They also took the rolls Royce Merlin v16, turned some screws and made it fit to propel the p51 mustang.
RR Merlin was a "supercharged" V-12, not turbo charged.
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......
ADDENDUM: I've just had a look through more of this channel, thanks for covering these iconic Toyota engines.
I can put my box of tissues away now. :)
I've found your channel just few days ago. I watched many videos from you, and yes. I have to say, it's awsome 😁 keep going mate
As a new owner of a 09' WRX, I'm about to binge this whole series and autism hyper focus on turbochargers
I love you. Thank you for not babying your viewers and making such entertaining and informative content. Can't wait to watch the whole series and learn somethin!
I love this video so much and can't wait for more.
You had me the third time you dropped in fundamental parts of turbo history I had no idea about within the first 1/4 of the video and keeping that going through the rest of the video set the hook.
Dude... you are brilliant 👏 you could explain this to a 5 year old and have them understand it.. this is great man
7:00 The FW 190 only had turbos in a few prototype planes but never in production variants.
this series is excelent. I'm currently writing about "performance inscrease in Peugeot 205" for my High school, where I'm discussing about wheter the turbocharger used by manufacturer is well paired with the engine or not.
O 205 t16 piszesz ?
Yes AEM is excellent! Never had any bad experiences with AEM, & actually really like AEM
YES YES YES! :-D
Been watching your videos for a while now, and i really like the direction you are taking :-)
I really hope your subs and views will soon climb to the level of quality of your videos! I definetily will recommend your channel to as much people as possible.
Keep up the good work!
I really enjoy your style of program. Very informative and in terms that you make understandable for me.
I have a 2002 Ti, twin Webber DCOE 45, built engine, Ireland engineering con rods/cylinders 10.3:1 ratio, dr shrick cam, stage 2 Kormen cylinder head, 5speed from a 320i, limited slip rear diff from a 320i. shes a beauty, stock interior. Got a Jackie Stewart steering wheel, custom reversed steel wheels, stretching width between the wheels. You grind the welds on the stock wheels, flip the center, and reweld. Gives a great offset. Drives like a new car, people always get super confused when I say I have a bmw 2002. She just sits in the garage.
Holy shit! How did I not know this series existed!!! So excited to dig into this!
Loved this video, the series is gonna be absolute killer judging by it
Dude, this is such perfect product placement. I get exactly what I want and you get the funding of a perfect sponsorship (and it's AEM so I was already considering buying their products anyway). I've never seen product placement done this right before!
I miss the Saab Automatic Performance Control (APC 1981) a for runner to modern turbo management systems. It allowed higher compression (and power) and different octane by lower the boost when knock occur. Also check out the Saab 900 16v Turbo the first 16V turbo car, a concept that is very popular to day.
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.
Damn it, you have to stop making these interesting videos, I have things to do and I'm sitting here watching video after video. Seriously, keep it up, they are great and very informative.
Thanks for the series. Looking forward to the next installment.
I got super happy when he said diving super deep into it. There’s nothing like learning it all, gonna have to whip out my notebook
Excellent ...no let me rephrase there ...Perfect video ! You are awesome for making this kind of video first of all but more so when i get to know so much detail in so many different parameters . AEM did the right move trusting you with this !!!!
I would say that the introduction of the wastegate in 1977 (Saab) and the PID controlled boost pressure in 1981 (Saab) massively contributed to the turbo evolution and improved engine behavior, quality and efficiency for daily usage.
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
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!
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.
@@zakpodo it is totally possible that what i read was incorrect or that i interpreted it incorrectly.
@@pjpeerson5229 no, I don't know if thats necessarily wrong. It may mostly just be indicative of how fast things advanced in those early years. Going from a handful of meters to 10k feet from 1905 to 1910.
"Here's all the these explained". Excellent work, sir.
Best summary of turbo charged engines I've seen. Thank you for that.
my friend to be able to transfer to others sufficiently the knowledge its a talent, and you my friend you are blessed , i enjoy to take knowledge from you , god have you good, i will try to support you to my friend and channels at internet, very few channels like this are like diamonds . thank you so much for your time, efford and the energy you put at those videos ...
Bro thank you for this vid! One thing a just have to say. Saab whas the one how revolusionised turbos thay did The internal wastgate for exsample.
I’ve always been a v8 guy. I own 4 cars, 3 of them are v8’s ones a pushrod iron big block and the other two are aluminum dohc v8’s. The 4th car is new to me, just bought it in January of this year. It’s a turbo charged 4 cylinder making almost 300hp.
best day of the week Petrol-head SHOW
