    Rotating mass is the key, static weight within the wheelbase, down low makes the chassis more stable. If you add weight, use tungsten on the frame rails within the wheel base. It will make the chassis more stable and minimize a cantilever effect on the chassis. Use this to keep the front wheels down, so you can steer at max boost. Just trying to keep you safe and fast. Love your content, Always learn stuff. thank you

    • @adamtheninjasmith2985
      @adamtheninjasmith2985 11 місяців тому +9

      Usually to keep the front wheels down, the logic is to add it in front of the front tires not within the wheelbase. Maximize the effect of the weight you're adding to use less. If you're adding enough weight to keep the front wheels down that it's affecting the chassis or suspension enough to make the car unstable, you need to go back to the drawing board because you have big problems. 100 or even 50lbs can do a lot to tame a wheelie and that might not even be enough to warrant changing shock settings or even affecting et at Steve's level. Any other time you'd be adding weight to a drag car would be to meet class specs. Even then it would go wherever is most optimal to maintain weight balance and optimize traction and stability. Using tungsten though! 👌It's stupid heavy and it's not lead. Lead is bad for you. Tungsten is pretty pricey though. Especially compared to steel.

      Back when, I was a clutch car racer, in every type of racing I did. We were always trying to come up with the lightest flywheel and clutch assembly as possible-that would still safely do the job-just for the same reason Steve has with this converter. We had an advantage Steve doesn't. We could change weight differences in our assembly between rounds-to a point.

  • @TrentStar-jr7oq

    Steve, I hope you see this. Rev X is amazing. We ran a shop for awhile where we worked on a lot of Diesel engines. Many of these are HEUI engines. These engines use up to 4000 psi of oil pressure to fire the fuel injectors, and they use the engine oil to do this. The pintles will eventually get a varnish on them, and there is an actual measureable amount of friction between that varnish and the engine oil and it’s called stiction. Many of these engines required a 3000 dollar set of injectors to repair. Rev x oil stablizer came out and said they almost eliminate stiction. We started adding 2 bottles to an oil change and literally within 100 miles the trucks would start running like brand new. The trucks never needed injector replacement. Not only that but customers started telling us their trucks started easier, ran smoother and got better gas mileage. I am not usually a believer in bandaids in a bottle, but RevX is the real deal and they told us 10 years ago, it was a must in race engines. We never got to use it specifically for that, but I can easily see how the friction modifying agents in rev X would be significant in the engines. Steve, if you’ve never heard of HEUI engines take a quick google lesson, careful you might learn something, and hear a new real testament to revX’s abilities.

      It'd be interesting if the manufacturer had told Steve what the moment of inertia difference between the stainless and the titanium converters is, and he'd included the figures in the video. They'll be able to read it straight from the CAD model if they have the material densities entered correctly. The difference in what matters - the moment of inertia, will be far bigger then the difference in weight.

    Hi Steve! I'm lucky enough to be local to Marty, it's pretty cool to see products made in a little Kansas town at the peak of motorsports. As far as rotating weight, it matters where the weight is taken off. If it's lighter close to the axis of rotation, then there's not much of an impact at all. If it's lighter far away from the axis of rotation, like at the fasteners, then there is a huge difference! Given the dependence on radius, it's not possible to equate it to pounds of non-rotating weight.
    Rotational Inertia, I = m * r^2.
    Torque, t = I * α , where α (alpha) is the rotational acceleration. So for each part of the engine that is accelerating, it is using up part of the torque (or power) that could otherwise be making it to the rear wheels.
    Taking 2 pounds off of the input shaft at a 1" radius could be a change in I of I = 2*(1^2) = 2 lbf·ft·s2
    Taking 2 pounds off of the OD flange at an 8" radius could be a change in I of I = 2*(8^2) = 128 lbf·ft·s2

    8:52 Dewey's reaction caught my attention, so i rewound and watched him back in the reflection of the wood grain and it appeared he does it every time the car is revved and it doesn't seem to scare him or bother him. Which leads me to the question of how does Dewey typically react to the cars / noises of the shop?

      No thanks. I like that Jason guy as a person but he gets ao much wrong its ridiculous. As a Rotary guy the vids he done on Rotary were terrible full of bad info. His vid on Mazdas Skyactive was completely wrong and i think he was the one done a vid on Cross Plane cranks and used the Yam R1 as an example of how a cross plane V8 works or vice versa. Totally missed the part that Yamaha R1 engine is an inline 4 and a completely different cross plane crank from any other as its on in inline engine not a V or L or opposing piston lump. Im sure he deleted that one out of embarrassment as the entire commemt section pointed out Yamahas Big Bang engines were nothing like a V8 cross plane they have 4 pistons at different heights.

    When you develop something like your engine conventional oils are the go. They can't hide an issue. Once your confident you have a sound engineered product that when the extra margin an additive can give you may be valuable. Best to know about a problem and engineer a solution than find out later. I do hope the additive does not affect the heat transfer properties of your oil because valve springs need very good cooling and oil is only medium to do that your an engine.😊

    Every 1lb of dynamic/rotating mass is equivalent to 8.4lbs of static/non rotating mass. 11lbs of dynamic=92.4lbs static mass. J swap Jason.
    This is an equation my crew chief used when i raced Aprilia many years ago. Yes the size of the circumference matters but this is a relative equation. Yes it's more complicated than that, but this is what Steve was looking for when he said 7 ot eleven. I remember it being 10 then contacted crew cheif himself.

      He best hope they are familiar with titanium as its a nightmare to work on and you can fatigue it doing it wrong. It is barbarian levels of strength though so often that gets you away with bad machining or welding on it. Theres a good vid on here somewhere it goes through it, its mostly about motorbike exhausts but it showed you the testing between perfect and what looked like normally good welds on it, they had to be pefect for it to work or the ones right at the flange on the exhaust ports of the manifold would get brittle real fast and just snap off under vibration. The perfectly welded ones took a beating at any temp they were uneffected. The hard bit was the fact that even a good weld failed quite quick so they needed done perfect every time or it just didnt work. Its a nightmare to drill correctly too
