25 Real VS. Fake Car Mods!

This is not a hate video nor is it me trying to tell you what to do, but rather it is intended to be educational for people who haven't even done any of these modifications but are generally trying to make their car faster and are a little confused. . Because of all the terminology that is used in the car tuning market today, as there are too many options and many of them sound too similar to each other, so today I will tell you which one

real

ly makes a difference in performance and which ones won. But here are 25

real

or

fake

car modifications, throttle body spacer and ported throttle body.

Both really don't affect its performance much except a ported throttle body when combined with a proper cold air intake and an upgraded setup and tune. will actually produce some measurable results, you might as well do it now. Throttle body spacers and ported throttle bodies sound very similar to each other and also cost very very similar to each other so I want to save people the trouble of tbs or Throttle body spacer just goes up throttle response to really find the difference. Supported throttle bodies are called ported because they generally don't have a lip on the inside, they actually open up more airflow to the intake, while the throttle body spacer simply moves away, which again, simply increases response. of the accelerator, so it gives you the perception that your car is faster because you are now accelerating.

The following are roof spoilers and vortex generators and the roof spoilers are mostly

fake

and the vortex generators do give way. real real results, so I'll say this right away, roof spoilers serve a purpose on trucks, SUVs, hatchbacks, if the rear window and the roof are the fire, like basically the back of your car, which is like the Final part, it's okay to have a roof spoiler, but if there is a part of your trunk that extends beyond your windows to look like a fastback vehicle or a normal sedan or most coupes roof spoilers actually ruin your airflow, I'll link you to a video that explains why that's the case if you have a real spoiler that has a The roof spoiler essentially nullifies the entire existence of your real spoiler because it deflects air away from it.

What people buy roof spoilers is mainly just for looks, but also, out of misunderstanding, they think it serves the purpose. Vortex generators actually make your aileron useful by directing turbulent air toward it. Another unintended benefit of a vortex generator that I learned is that if it's a rainy day you have a clear rear window, so in my corvette I put them on and on rainy days I noticed that I can actually see out. out of my rear window because it's constantly pushing the wind down against the rain on my rear window, so that's another unintended benefit, but that's also proof that it's working, that it's actually pushing air out the window and directing it properly. .

Top mounted and front mounted intercooler in the cooler here it is The first surprise in this video is that they are both real, for some reason stupid automotive journalists have spread misconceptions that only front mounted intercoolers are functional . This is simply not true, as positioning will vary depending on engine type and boost type. Most used turbocharged boxer engines will actually have a top-mounted intercooler that is fed by their huge, functional hood. Most root system superchargers, as in my case for the z06, are also fed by a top mounted intercooler. I won't repeat it, an intercooler is not necessary. to be mounted in the front to do its job, people assume that because top mounted intercoolers are close to the engine, they are more likely to get hot and therefore don't actually work or do anything and now that's simply not true because, again, most of the better mounted claws are usually fed from a hood vent, so cold air runs directly into position, just like a hood-mounted intercooler. the front part would shorten the ram inlet and the cold air inlet.

Let me explain the logic of why people fall in love with short and shorter ram shots. Length does not equal better cooling. People like to think that because it is shorter and closer to the engine, the length the air has to travel is shorter, so it will arrive faster. It is also closer to the heat source. What is the point? to quickly get air into the engine when it's hot air, you're bringing it a cold air intake in the meantime, very similar to the ported throttle body example at the beginning of this video, this is something you want to do along with a tune and even so for naturally aspirated cars the gain is somewhat negligible and not even noticeable sometimes, so again, it really depends on your build, it's what I like to call a future proof mod, it won't make a very noticeable difference, It sounds great and if you plan on boosting your car, especially to make it work as a top mounted supercharger later in the future, it's good to build it up to help get even more horsepower when you do, now you know why the video has an odd number due to this entry. it has three performance chips there was a time when cars had much dumber computers again this goes back to what i said the cold air intake if you have an older car and you are buying a proper performance chip for a few hundred Dollars can give you a decent power gain for most modern cars, although buying a cheap eBay brand universal performance chip that's like 15 won't do anything for your car, it usually isn't, it's just a placebo of the that you have convinced yourself because you changed something it will now make your carbon faster, a real tune by email or a flash tune sent to you by a professional tuner which you then upload through the device, like in my case a mustang would be sxt x4, which also works on GM cars, so I can also use it on my corvette, which can actually upload, download and save many different files, etc., and so on.

You can switch between 93 87 tunes and any even more suitable tune would be the dinosaur tune which brings us to the third entry. of this entry, so all three entries in one entry understand that a dinosaur tune uses a device that we refer to as a test bench and measures the power of its wheel and this is the most accurate and, I would say, the standard of the industry to tune your vehicle, it will simply be much more accurate than a flash tune because each car has its own quirks, they age differently, basically it is about tuning your car exactly at that specific time for your vehicle, while the tunes flash are more made for your model. but each car will have different things that affect it, like different modifications, different points in its life, different mileage and each car, when at least the factory believes it or not, is not exactly the same, but a dyno tune always you will get the most power. them, but flash tuning and dyno tuning are real methods and I highly recommend saving your money for a proper pitch intake fan marketed as an electric supercharger or leaf blower, so you're probably wondering: wow blade, this seems like a joke. entry you are absolutely right both are jokes but believe it or not, the leaf blower is the real one in this entry.

I know some of you are probably like wow, the intake fan sounded like it actually doesn't, it doesn't do anything. false intake fan, which is just what I'm going to call it. The fancier terminology they call it on the market is an electric supercharger and not the electric supercharger that real electric cars use, so again I'm not going to call it. that's because the name is too cool for something that is so disappointing, these can cost 300, don't be fooled by them, it's better to buy a real cold air intake and change the entire intake assembly than to buy an intake fan and put it in In its consumption of actions it indicates that it does not generate energy.

There are so many videos that are trying to prove that they generate energy, but none of them have executed it on a dinosaur. Meanwhile, muscle car

mods

ran it on a dyno and found it did. nothing more than you know what it does something leaf blowers riding a leaf blower actually generates about seven horsepower. It's actually ridiculous that this is more of an actual mod than an intake fan. I put it in this video as a fun break. Now, of course, I'm not recommending that all of you start putting leaf blowers in your cars because for the money, you're better off not doing this, but I'm just using this to remind you of the fact that intake fans are so useless, a leaf blower outworks them by lowering springs and coils.

They are both real performance

mods

, so one of them obviously has a bigger performance advantage over the other. Now many people like to associate lowering springs with cutting the springs and not. That's completely different, cutting our springs, I guess that would be the fake one on this list, but people who cut springs only do it to lower the car, they are aware that it's not the best for their vehicle, they just don't do it. I want to spend money lowering the springs in the meantime lowering the center of gravity. If you get a progressive spring rate they are really nice and very comfortable, but when you really accelerate they stiffen up appropriately, the only downside to loading the springs. is that they are not adjustable and you also have to be very careful to buy the right size in the right drop from the beginning because you can't change your mind later about the fit because, again, they are not adjustable. there were people who got too aggressive in lowering the springs where it would be like doing a two inch drop with floor springs and then only to find out that their car needed aftermarket wheel camber plates to handle even that drop or worse yet , now they're completely Tucking the wheel into the fender and it just rubs all over the place and now they and even rolling the fender won't help them so threaded shocks because they're adjustable, you can get away with the fact that you can buy them and if they don't.

If they don't feel the way you want, you can literally adjust them until they feel the way you want, so for someone who's new to lowering cars, I'll always be that guy that recommends coil-over shocks because, but coil-over shocks are so much more. It's worth it where I would say they have so many ben lo. I made a whole video about it. In fact, I'm going to shut up because I made a whole video about the suspension. Just go see that painting and wrap them both. I would call them real carmons. Now, neither of these are involved with acting, but the reason I have to mention them is because there is still a huge misunderstanding between these two.

I'm going to classify them differently from real and fake, instead we will refer to the painting as real. one in the sense that it is permanent. I'll refer to rap as temporary, but I wouldn't actually call it fake. I used to have a rap in my Corvette and I'll just say it now. The ramps are designed with intention. They are easily changeable, therefore they are temporary and will never last as long as paint. Many people ask me constantly. Hello, I recently bought an old car. I just printed it and I'm thinking about wrapping it or I'm thinking.

About painting, the wrap adheres better to the paint than the primer. You can wrap a car with primer, but it doesn't solve the problem that one day the wrap will just come off and when you remove it, it will actually tear off the primer. It's going to tear off a lot, in fact most wrapped material usually has spaces between them to allow air pockets to settle, but unfortunately those air pockets are also bubbles and that really brings it back to the point where a wrapper never will. looks as good as paint, it will always have seam lines, it will age much worse, so even if you get a wrap that looks perfect for a year at the second year mark, you will see some lifting at the seams.

I see some bubbles and some air pockets here and there around 3rd 4th and finally 5th gear which is usually while they survive so don't ever talk about rapping or see it as a substitute for painting, painting is something that can last for decades , there are some letters. What I know from 50 years ago is still his original painting and that's not me making fun of the raps again, that is his intended design, is that they are meant to be temporary and because of how modular andThey are easy to change, they are cheaper. than painting a car, so if you just want a quick color change, I recommend wrapping.

I've made a whole video on this that I'll also link to and it really talks about everything you need to know about vinyl wrapping. bold treadless car tires or smooth drag tires, you'd be surprised how many people think that bald tires can serve the same purpose as smooth ones. I always hear them, they even call them interchangeably, like we always use slick tires, but in reality they are like bald tires and the logic is that that tread is only necessary for weather conditions or for off-road driving, therefore, in On a sunny or warm day, a bald tire is basically a slippery tire since it has the entire contact patch and I'm going to say this right now is false. a very dangerous mentality, in fact it is true that when a tire goes completely bald it is nothing more than a contact patch, it no longer has lines on the tread, it has no grooves, so effectively that it looks like a drag stain One of the real drag slick tires is intended to properly adhere to paved surfaces.

They usually have specialized compounds to do this. Meanwhile, a worn bald tire is completely worn out. You've gone through most of the compound you're basically about to ride on your cable and I've seen people blow up their tires in real drift events or in real drag events with bald tires because they were stupid enough to think that they would. would be surprised to know again that there are some of you in the comments probably like there is no way that just plain stupid people would ever underestimate the power of stupid wheel spacers and hub centric wheel spacers so none of these I would consider them fake, but I would say one is significantly safer than the others, very similar to the throttle body. come down to a very thin margin, it's mainly the wording that completely changes the way any of these work, so in this case an axle-centered spacer, that word axle-centered is ultimately which will save you from a lot of trouble and that will make the difference if you ever buy wheel spacers.

I highly recommend purchasing hub-centered ones because they don't allow the wheels to get that weird bouncing feeling that occurs when you use regular or non-hub-centered spacers. and more importantly they are safer, much less vibration will occur, much less shaking will occur, a larger straight exhaust pipe compared to a properly sized crossover pipe for the exhaust. Let's talk about the logic of why many attractive teens think big straight tube is the way to go first on youtube click bait second tick tock third reason they think bigger is better because big tubes They go directly from the engine to the power of the exhaust arm, so I'm going to say this right now, the giant straight pipe is actually the loudest.

Exhaust can be gotten for the cheapest price because sometimes it's free if you're just going to cut your own mufflers and your own resonators and cali converters, and that's why most people do it, they just want noise, but it's that's why not. Good for power and I'm actually going to do this. I've done this example before, but you can do this experiment right now at home. Find a straw like a thin straw and then find an empty paper towel ruler. Blow both using the same force that one actually makes the air escape faster, the more pressurized small straw or the large paper towel tube, think of it like this, if the air has too much room to move, they will be deterred from finding departure as soon as possible, this is important. a lot in low horsepower cars, so if you have a 200 horsepower grocery picker, you don't need a 5 inch straight tube from the header to the back because what the air does is it's no longer pressurized and it's barely there. walking calmly.

When you get out of your car, you're sure to make race car noises, but you won't be accompanied by race car performance by adding a crossover, whether it's an x ​​or h or even a propeller pattern, in addition to keeping the air properly pressurized by properly maintaining a good size exhaust is simply more efficient this actually increases low rpm torque and maximum power because now the air is not coming out directly obviously the downside of why many teenagers don't do this is because it is more expensive is because it takes more scale to machine and produce something that isn't just a straight tube, another reason is because they aren't as loud and again the average teenager, especially one who grew up with daddy issues, will be sad. about not getting the attention they want, so how dare I suggest a real performance alternative instead of their stupid desires for attention?

Fake repeat wheels and real real wheels. Wow, this couldn't be more explanatory.

I'll really appreciate it beyond that, though thanks for watching and until the next time Blade Angel comes out.
