How to Make Your Car Faster

[archinuk417]

I bought one just for the amazing sound it makes :D

[scratchyrice]

Lol thats the worst place to put that, right over the hot exhaust manifold. Heat rises.

[mohammedraziq786]

40+10+4 dollars idk how he gets 45 dollar upgrade haha

[bgjon87]

great place for an intake not

[EricRacine123]

i dont drive over 100 mph.. often

[jdm672]

u suck 

[barrytroter1]

hey i was told to remove the cat and and fit an induction kit and fit a performance exhaust will this make the average car go faster ?

[ryanwashere21]

Hey I was told to remove a governor to make a car go faster or change the car software

[tommyaj200]

Spectre filter sucks. it just a normal intake filter. it only adds 5hp. get the K&N filter or the AEM filter. they can add up more than 10 to 15hp.

[XHyperxNovaX]

@tommyaj200 Bahaha, bullshit. Don't believe the marketing shit man, there is no way you can get 10 hp from an air filter.

[pineappleaexpress]

@XHyperxNovaX yes you can, it oxidizes the gas making it more flammable, creating the most combustion possible ADDING HORSEPOWER

[XHyperxNovaX]

@pineappleaexpress Look man, you don't need to lecture me on air filters. All this 10hp shit is a lie. You can't even gain 10hp without an airfilter.

[DJlittleGT]

who the fucks puts that on a mini car

[ttimothyp16]

that placement is retarded

[regi6500]

that filters kinda big for that car.

[CRAZYKANGAROO123]

Cold air intake on top of the engine...

Idon'tthinksotim.jpg

[indemaTROY]

I don't think this would work on my car, an '89 Chevy Celebrity.

[rlmotionpictures]

Don't forget to add nos XD

[msmit1993]

2 geeks talking a about cars, nice

[quantummechanic90]

Lose 20 lbs. Gain in acceleration, braking, handling and fuel mileage. Stop eating.

[stene12345]

@quantummechanic90 HAAHHAHA!!!

[The420DubStep]

@quantummechanic90 learn how to respect people, you probably are no better

[lequidsnake]

PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT Brandon Wirtz/Chris Pirillo!

I have a MINI Cooper S R56 too and i really want to improve performance and handling. i notice you have a strut brace to prevent body role and vibration.

are there any other add-on’s that you have done do your MINI or advice?

PLEEEEEEEASSSSEEEEEEEEE REPLYYYYYY!!!!

[Shanzh20]

please stick to tech and not car upgrades and modification.. Mighty Car Mods is all I need to say

[ProGunNL]

is this street legal?

[eitrig]

Yeah adding a pod filter is going to MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

[bonuscardboy]

Chris, I recognize the mic you are using....(Looks like the Sennheiser e85) but I don't recognize the wireless attachment. What is that? Also what camera are you using?Thanks.... and love the clarity of sound and vid.

[thelegendhimself]

dumb video. slow car, your shitty "intake" isnt doing anything. enjoy the heatsoak

[dhockey63]

better crankshaft and upgraded exhaust manifolds can also add hp. You can also get performed tuned "chips" for your car

[chronofusion]

furthermore. at 4:28. " this is a cold air intake"= WRONG. Cold air intakes ALWAYS have air filter MUCH further AWAY from the main engine block near the bottom of vehicle often in fender well.dodge grand caravan, 1996 mitsubishi eclipse=examples. watch Powerblock tv specifically Horsepower tv show part and you'll learn the difference in a reg ram air induction and a cold air induction. I learned this back in 2005 on spike tv sundays. sry but you needed some corrections mr fix it.

[chronofusion]

also ftr A&M makes the same performance quality after market air filters that are around the same price that require NO OILING AND IS OIL FREE. performance comparison? honestly i have not personally tested the difference yet. HOWEVER oil free is something to think about considering one less little piece of maintenance.

[chronofusion]

3:13/3:14 " the cloth filter you h ave to clean and it's more expensive " =WRONG. doesn't matter whether you put only 10k miles per year on your vehicle or 50k miles per year.1. gas savings will pay for the unit in between 3 to 7 years realistically. 2. if you've already bought the cleaning kit (often 20 bucks or less & contains 12 to 16 cleanings worth) & calculate against buying new air filters every time. it=more than 70% cheaper. & u DONT have to clean every 7k miles. more like every 12k

[chronofusion]

if you install the RIGHT kit or long enough " piping" it will be just fine people. Just depends on your make and model. I install the Spectre brand air intake performance kit on my 2005 honda civic si hatchback years ago and It has performed like a dream ever since. It netting me 1.5 more mpg and 18 more horsepower. cheers

[jarsky]

I agree with the others, with how close that air filter is to the engine - it really needs a heatshield. additionally K&N and others sell cloth panel filters, as replacements to the original housing - so you can get a higher flow without having to replace the whole thing.

[Aviador2own]

rofl, if I wanted more performance out of my car I sure as hell wouldn't contact you. :s

[igeekone]

I love how he took out the stock intake that directed cool air to an open one that sucks in very hot air. What an airhead.

[PantherP74]

I'm guessing the car will be slower. Congratulations on putting an open filter right between the engine (major heat source) and the firewall!

[Kdajrocks]

@PantherP74 its an air filter not a cooler. tbh it would help if the airs' hotter as it would ignite faster

[jarsky]

@Kdajrocks its better if the air is cooler, as you get more cfm of air as opposed to hot air.

[Kdajrocks]

@jarsky i dont care really, lost my driving thing, dont get it bac till march next sold. gonna sell my car for my £6000 wooohooo, im so lucky

[PantherP74]

@Kdajrocks: Really? Hot air is better?  Is that why they make cold air intakes and cars make more power when sucking in cooler, denser air? It's cause hot air is better? Wow, thanks! I'm gonna route my intake around my engine block tonight.

[jowillkit]

pretty cool

[gilosborne15]

I liked this! More how to get better gas milage videos!

[KenanVideos]

Can I attach this to my vacuum cleaner?

[zaafarj]

that guy is very smart

[NoLMAOnade]

@zaafarj no hes not.. the way he installed it is actually gonna be worse for the car

[zaafarj]

@NoLMAOnade really, what do you recommend rather doing

[NoLMAOnade]

@zaafarj id recommend using a heat shield so it doesn't just suck in hot air. Cold air is what its supposed to be and thats when your gonna see performance gains. Hot air from a setup like this can/will be worse for your car/gas milege

[artyomaa]

HELP! can I do this on 2009 Toyota Corolla S?

[DJPaggos]

This guys beast.

[Froanite]

you will not get anything better from changing a filter. because it is not real sports filter. and it is better for you stock filter :) and i like see you dont know why the car need air :P

[NoLMAOnade]

well thats dumb you need a heat shield its just gonna suck in hot air it could potentially be worse than the one you had before

[bd398226]

@NoLMAOnade Yes!

[lockergnome]

@NoLMAOnade Watch the response video.

[bgjon87]

@lockergnome In the response video your intake temps were 4 degrees warmer than outside temp, thats not a crucial amount of temp but at the end of the day it is the opposite result of what you are looking for. Stick to the product reviews and get out of the car biz

[PerformanceCars1FCH1]

@NoLMAOnade I was just about to say that when I saw it being installed behind the engine

[scottyboyy99]

I installed a k&n typhoon on my Altima Coupe.

It sound beautiful, and it gets about 3-4 MPG better efficiency.

[ccubsfan94]

wow. really. get k&n. you will get better everything and it will be the last air filter you well ever buy. he forgot something. take the negative off the battery. reset the system and incase you accidentally touch the battery. (post to other metal) to make it go faster a) get a better car

b) v8

c) big cam, big exhaustand.

many other things.

pistons, heads, valves, valve springs, rockers, oil pump, fuel pump, new carb (if it is carbureted)

superchip.

this is the first step in faster

[TrevorLangowski]

Super easy

[cal920c]

when at high speed, turn on the AC, it's actually more efficient then opening the windows.

[Redchannel]

More videos like this please :D !

[ihotboi]

Lmao whats with his hair

[v12tommy]

It is amazing how many people don't realize that normal "performance" upgrades actually give you better fuel economy as well. People I know never understood why I take my Corvette skiing as often as I can in the winter, but it was because the performance of the car allows me to get 41 MPG round trip in the mountains.

It is the biggest reason I am against CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) standards, because companies are forced to put those horrible stock air filters on in the first place.

[boredoutofhismind1]

Have you set it too the right torque setting? Otherwise itl come loose and bust your car

[v12tommy]

@boredoutofhismind1 I don't think torque matters on your air filter. As long as you get the connection tight. Really the only area where torque is super critical is on bolts inside the engine, and then the correct procedure going beyond just simply torquing bolts. As long as the hose clamps are tight, you should be fine.

[anel115]

He should put one in chris his prius !!

[Wingtale1]

Brandon Still hasn't changed his top since the last time

[xxstargatemanxx]

I like that his videos are broadening to different form of nerdiness; vidya games and automobiles!!

[ShepperdOneill]

C'mon... Everyone knows that stickers and large "train scoop the cow off the track" front bumpers make your car go faster.

[igeekone]

Put in an SSD. That will greatly improve response times and boot up.

[hardkoregamer1981]

Very educational & informative thanks for sharing!

[happycrap23]

That car need better CPU!....

[ThisIsMrMcGregor]

I'd still go with an AEM cool air intake.

[thomasmovesinc]

Can I do this on a truck ?

[Stefan010796]

Depends on your truck... you mean a pickup or a really big truck? :D

[TkMToM1993]

THE BRITISH MINI COOPER

[WATSONMUTH]

@TkMToM1993 with german engine muhahahahahahahahmuahahahahmua­hahaha

[Chintendoeddman]

You need to keep your system up to date and run your antivirus scanners often. That should make the car faster.

[foltan1]

adding open air filters just messes with the car's ecu settings and you just end up with worse fuel efficiency.

[Nethlon]

@foltan1 Untill the ECU learns that there is more air and uses less fuel. Takes 30 mins usually.

[forrest225]

Fastest way to speed up your car: lighter wheels and tires.

[forrest225]

@sukhvirgill765 He drives a prius.

[forrest225]

This is stupid, he really needs a cold air intake, that scoop isn't going to do much good because that air has to flow over a hot engine before it gets to the filter.

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@forrest225 There is a cold air intake on the bottom. I pointed to that. It comes in at the front. MORE air is always better. "Cold" air is just denser, which lets you get more through less space, but Air from two places with a larger collection surface is better. I should show the Dyno results, but I didn't do them after each upgrade, so I don't have a good way to show this thing vs, everything I did.

[forrest225]

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom That intake isn't going to give you much cold air at all, especially since you opened up that scoop. That scoop is going to pull in way more air than the little air intake. There really isn't much performance to be gained by this.

[quiles26]

Is this the new Chris Pirillo Speed Channel?

[slub77]

You got a very nice car....be a shame if something were to happen to it...

[oledcrt]

@slub77 ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssssssssssssss

lol

[anish4]

lmao!! that new air filter is sucking in hot air from the engine reducing the performance of the car.

[forrest225]

@anish4 I know right? He needs a whole new intake track so he can draw air from the fender well.

[fatimmortal]

I hope you don't install a female driver.

[CelticsFanBoy92]

Sorry to burst your bubble but you won't be able to tell a difference in speed just by adding air filter. All it adds is in between 1 and 4 hp. You'll probably get just as much performance from taking your car stereo out of your car to make your car lighter. lol

[thriller920]

@CelticsFanBoy92 which can actually make a pretty large difference cold air intakes have been known to get up to an extra 14 HP and car stereos are commonly removed to save weight and just by turning the ac off in a car you can go slightly faster

[CelticsFanBoy92]

@thriller920 I've never heard of 300 dollar cold air intake's giving you 14 hp let alone a 40 dollar one.

[thriller920]

@CelticsFanBoy92 the k&n cold air intake we put on the v6 from a toyota fj gave us 14 more HP

[DaJordanP]

@CelticsFanBoy92 haha I agree. Check out my channel cause it shows how to gain 10 hp from air filters :P

[zero9112]

Simple, install speed holes on the hood.

[goingdownthetubes]

how do you put a cold air intake on a carburated engine

like my 1986 subaru ?

because my filter is a big loop thing not a flat rectangular dealeo

as far as i know there isnt a way to put C,A.I in my car

[iJGQ]

"I don't drive over a 100 mph that often...."

[BurgZergArcade]

This is the same guy that installed the dimmer switch right? lol

[MegaRekyyli]

Did you know that AirFilters don't really add HP, the difference is not noticeable. Also, because the airfilter is not covered, it soaks up more dirt, whichs means that the engine gets dirtier.

[Stevenhiggles]

I <3 minis. Now do an exhaust for even better gas numbers

[deadeye770]

damn u can make this car go much smooter just get a new motherboard with sandybridge and a i7, then just put a new Nvidia gtx 590 and you are good to go and pwn some drivers :O

[REPOMAN24722]

Overclock?

[reecieboii]

never thought id see this on lockergnome but good job for widening your tree branches to other genres :D 

[LethalBB]

Now this is a good video, keep this kinda stuff up.

[iTalkApple96]

It's much easier if you undo the 2 nuts holding the silver strut bar and then take it off...

[GuitarRefurbMan]

These guys obviously know nothing about cars. A new air intake will do little if anything without supporting modifications- mainly a modified ecu- which will tell the car what to do with the additional air it is taking in.

What this modification will most certainly do is "heat-soak" your engine. The original airbox has a design that sucks air in specifically from the coolest source available in that particular area of the engine bay. This $45 intake does not. Keep an eye on your engine temp

[doug1345]

@GuitarRefurbMan he must know something because he would of not put it on every car he own if it didnt do anything that would waste money duh

[doug1345]

@GuitarRefurbMan watch this watch?v=YPd_2_IvKIw&feature=re­lated

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@GuitarRefurbMan If I was in Death Valley I'd worry. Seattle I'm not going to over heat. The people who sell you on the "heat Soak" don't under stand thermo-dynamics and the specific heat of air. There aren't heat sinks on the engine, at 70 mph that engine is adding 2 degrees to the temp of the air coming in to the intake and because the air is at positive pressure (rather than negative pressure like you get when you take fender) I get more air at negligible difference in air temp.

[fifthgear93]

Chris has no idea what he is looking at lol I bet he doesn't know how internal combustion engines work.

[khunopie]

Did lockergnome jump the shark?

[wiggy700]

get a pickaxe and make some speed holes

[CorruptedPersona]

this is wrong, there would be no HP increase nor better MPG from changing the air filter. You can however increase performance by changing the air box intake, also the ECU is not sophisticated enough to detect and then compensate for the additional air flow. Without a new fuel processor you would actually lose power and performance.

[Trowter]

@CorruptedPersona agreed :)

[GeezaDW]

The guy speaking doesn't know shit. lol

[cnees208]

Didn't even start it. 

[Tore299]

That car could need some more RAM! :P

[fastnfuriousinnit]

Think that mini cooper has a turbo

[EarForceTutorials]

@fastnfuriousinnit No.

[schroom766]

this is the most generic upgrade that everybody does so much for originality.

[Tillyz08]

lol hw whipped out a microphone

[TheNifffin]

Why was my initial reaction to this video's title 'Oh dear..'

[chriskopp2]

@TheNifffin more like oh god

[Pochaco2007]

We've seen too many videos of these 2 guys with Chris lately. I'm afraid he is gonna kick his girlfriend out of the house and start living with these two Dudes

[marcusarelius23]

Cool, i've installed a few of these and they really do work.

[survivor303]

Brandon knows things just because his name is... Brandon :D

[ashkot]

more about car video please

[th3m8ngtree]

@ashkot these guys know nothing about cars >.> you're looking in the wrong place.

[MasterHackintosh]

Next we need to see a 2JZ being put into the Pirillo Prius ;)

[AssassinMan308]

@MasterHackintosh cool idea but i think that the prius would benefit from some VTAKK power so a k24a swap would be a viable option :D

[FireWorksStudiosplus]

24people does not have a mini

[xXZarlachXx]

@FireWorksStudiosplus

I do not have a mini...

[zoics1]

A mod like this is more for appearances. It makes your engine bay look cooler. The horsepower it adds is only like 4-10 horsepower at the engine. If you put in on a dyno, that translates to maybe 1 horsepower gain at the rear wheels. If even that much on a 120 horsepower engine. A 120 horsepower engine on a dyno is really approx 96 hp at the rear wheels. Lots of things can change these figures.

[MinaBassilious]

I would love to see more videos like this Chris. Thank you very much : )

[da007man]

however, that's a mini cooper S, so the gas mileage really sucks on it, just buy a mini cooper, and it will be already better...

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@da007man I average 36 across city and highway. I drove i-80 from SF to Toledo,OH and average 44 MPG

[crackasx2]

Nice PC...

[igeekone]

Honestly these mods don't do jack on a road car. You're seriously wasting your money unless you go the track.

[SeriousBusiness100]

doing this in the UK will increase your insurance premiums :S well that or don't tell your insurance company but if they find out your stuffed :(

[Mastersun88]

what is the pint of the mic lol! upgrading a car my sister should watch this she does not want to fix her car and she needs to lol!

[mooinglamb]

is that not a mini cooper s , which is so much better then a cooper

[faizanjoyia]

54 not 45 get you maths right

[windexfighter77]

@faizanjoyia

"Your math", "not you maths". Get your spelling and grammar right.

[ItchyHippo]

@windexfighter77 "maths" is technically correct depending on where you're from. But I agree, "not you maths" doesnt make sense. The "you" could have easily been a typo error.

[colinmreid]

After watching this guy fixing the electricity clip. Don't think I could trust him with anything else he wants to do. LOL

[700tmac]

Mini coops are bad ass

[g60scuzz]

Heatsoaked air cleaner / higher intake air temperature = less aggressive timing map from the ECM, translating into hurting actual horsepower output. I would imagine the $400 intake kit placing the filter outside the engine compartment. Take some sheet metal classes, spend $25 at the scrap yard on some material and make an intake box that works with your filter, at least then its channeled and not preheated by the turbo manifold and valve cover. Don't over-oil your filter or you'll ruin your MAF.

[smartcar111]

Nice hot air intake...not!

[diemonzerov3]

cut off the Catalytic Converter and put a Glasspack there. most states only go by mpg..if you start with 18 mpg and gain 8 mpg you get 26 mpg and cops don't care if it ant loud.. i live in Indiana my car gets 30 mpg and does 150mph when the cops ant looking

[BassPounderX]

its not electonic related but i liked it more plz

[deckadad1]

i thought it said: how to make your cat faster ahah

[krgrubbs]

20 hp homo points for the mini coop

[ATOK2]

40$+10$+5$=45$  hmmmm interdasting

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@ATOK2 O'Reily's had the stuff 25% off... So I quoted my price, rather than the sum of the parts... So yes, the math is "wrong" but the "price" is right.

[nobodypersonsomeone]

Brandon is a proper geek. He can teach Chris a few things.

[puunakki]

Haha, nice video. I like it!

[mowerandmore1986]

I've had a buick park avenue and lesabre that had this done. 3.8 v6

[livepremium]

the air filter doesnt really help unless you replace the entire cold air intake system because the filter may be sucking in more air but the pipes are still restricted so its not being used properly

[kyral210]

That works for petrol cars, but what about Diesel cars? What can we do for them?

[Lynxtpm]

@kyral210 Who says it doesn't work on diesel engines?

[Lynxtpm]

@LockerGnome you forgot something very important about this video.

You should have turned that engine on so we could listen to the intake sound!

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@Lynxtpm I mentioned that afterwards... The Less restrictive air flow makes it go Vrrr-OOOM-Whoosh as you hear the turbo spool, and then blow off when you let off the gas. I'm apparently getting old because my thought was more noise, rather than what the kids in the parking lot said "Your car sounds like the cars in Forza"

[kiravintio]

do you have any empirical evidence proving that a better air filter improves gas mileage and engine performance? or is this just one of those anecdotal claims?

[transroller12]

Will this work on a 2010 silverado

[smartcar111]

@transroller12 Don't do it!
