Fake Turbo VS Fake Turbo

This is a

fake

turbo

from eBay and this is a real

turbo

from a turbo factory. Do you need one of those today? Let's find out. Welcome to another episode of Mighty Carmods. Want the quivering magnetism of a turbo in your groin? vehicle yes, do you want to bring all the men to the yard? yes, especially if they have tools so they can help me fix my car. Do you want to bring all the goat milkshakes to your girlfriend's house? Yeah, I love smoothies, okay? Do you want to drive a Land Cruiser? Yeah bro, 79 series, yeah yeah, well if you want street cred you need to turbo charge your car.

There are a few ways to do it, one of them would be with a turbocharger if you're an idiot. because they are expensive and affect your insurance, that's why you need, what do we need a

fake

turbocharger? Damn, what are we doing. Where is this a fake turbocharger? Now let me quickly show you what we did 10 years ago. Wow, that was almost 10 years ago, but technology has come a long way since then and our seconds are really good now, as such, I'm going to read you the description of this fake turbocharger, don't open it my friend, because there are exciting times out there. main feature of this is to simulate a perfect wastegate sound perfect perfect perfect you don't need to charge for a turbo kit you don't need to charge for a turbo kit it's fine anyway you don't need to withdraw money what else? um this won't increase your insurance premium great it'll make you look like no I don't know anything about this it's a direct quote um you'll get all the sounds and turbo styling at no cost expensive turbo styling yeah turbo styling because martin look what's happened in the last 10 years well on our civic we installed a weird little box now look at this it looks like it's a real turbo charger like a turbo no it's a turbo charger what So the first thing you need to know when you are going to simulate a turbo in your car.

Let's take a quick look at the difference between a fake turbo and a real turbo and if you find that there is no difference then just buy the fakes just buy the fake one fact martin let's do like the internet and break the emotional hashtag then let's eat it and then have some noodles and then let's not work on our car and now let's do an unboxing are you ready? I don't know if we could go that deep in one go, let's do it Martin, we have a blue box and a red box, we'll start with the red box, oh, it's like the matrix pill, it's the red, blue pillar, because one of them is reality and the other is not here.

We have a very well packaged pillow, in fact this is a nice little pillow, so if you don't have a pillow for your bed, you can look at the shakes it has. Excellent. Here we have a Garrett. I need what it is. It's an 80 20 20. 28 something, what is it? It's something you can stick on your Nissan. I know it's at the top of your mind or where the flap that says the number is. Maybe I have the number. Did you remove the flap with the number? dude it's a 2860r gen 2. thanks to gtx gen 2 um that's exciting because it's one of the newer style turbos um here we have oh it's a little oily in there so this is a real turbo charger that looks very well there we have it, you have an inducer, a former juicer, also known as a compressor, and a turbine exhaust goes through the turbine, you have a housing that fits your car and then spins the shaft in the middle, there is oil in the means to maintain it. cooled and lubricated and also coolant if you want, and then you have the compressor housing, your air is sucked through a filter in that hole, brought up to a couple hundred thousand rpm and then spit out there and that creates pressure, which means you can add fuel to those extra air density scientific things and then make a bigger bang and go faster, that's why you love turbos, they sound cool too, they look cool, they hum around um and if everyone loves them, I love them, but why would you spend? a couple grand for that because not only do you need a turbocharger, you need your pipes, you need your intercooler, you need an exhaust, you need your waste canister, you probably need some management, you probably need to upgrade your brakes, you definitely need to contact your insurance company , why do all that?

When I'm telling you right now what's coming out of this box, what you're about to see, it's about to make you prolaptic, you're just going to expel all the fluid from Every hole in your body will pump fluid out, so exciting and realistic is it. It looks like, we haven't seen it here before, but get a box of tissues because look at this, people have to cry because of how cheap it is in comparison. oh look at this lamb, wow I see, well they've come a long way and it actually comes with hardwood mounting, it doesn't have any mounting hardware, here are people, look at this wow turbo center, it's the same , it looks exactly.

Same thing, basically it looks exactly the same, so the only difference is that this part is completely covered, so what is it? It doesn't blow the air out anyway but look the technology has come a long way so today I'm going to install that and demonstrate to you while turbo why demonstrate to you while we're going to demonstrate to you why turbo charging is now unnecessary obsolete Martin's obsolete electric cars they are huge electron electric turbos so here I have the installation instructions for my turbo charger um Failure to follow these instructions can result in premature turbocharger failure and denial of warranty so they need to get it right.

They have to install them. Make sure there is no foreign material. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering. Bolts may be missing. or deliberately left too much information loose wait lose too much pressure the turbine housing and turn it correctly um temporarily secure the turbo charger rotate the center housing rotate the compressor housing remove the jug that fell off let me show you what we are doing today locking tabs of the container installed and pre-greased I will reserve your turbo switch with a bracket installation in the car under the accelerator pedal depending on the models to adjust the height of the switch to press the accelerator pedal tactile switch sound that sounds easier than this No is that so?

Let's do that today. We want to see if the last 10 years have provided a better purge valve sound with fake technology than what we installed 10 years ago. As exciting as it is, it can disappear right now, it's a fake turbo. vs fake turbo, the martin people tell us what tools we are going to need, these are the tools you will need, like any good car electrical installation, this is car electronics, you need a dac dac with a screwdriver head, you need screws and cutters techs and that's it, and the tape probably needs tape before you start, although how much was that?

Well, I got it gilligit, get it off eBay, yes I did, but first of all what I would like to show you is that this is the turbo hub with an arrow showing which one. one for the sales pitch, I don't know, we just paid for it, look where these switches are made, dude, oh, made in Japan in Japan, so it's a JDM turbocharger, yeah, but how much did you pay for it? How much do you think it's worth? people look at that 43 dollars you paid 43 including shipping, don't look at it anymore, yeah, but it was more, it looks like a turbocharger up or down, down, less than that, yeah, 28, it was 35, 35 Australian, what is it? that?

My next guess was 243. It's like 20 bucks, we, yeah, anyway, um, yeah, no, 35 bucks, 35 shipping and two switches, why did you get an extra switch? They just gave you one for free, I don't know why, lamb, you've shown us the tools, right? I've done something else, now we're going to install it in the car and we're going to play some old school tunes, no tunes, some new skull tunes. The first step is to lift the car, then open the hood and locate the battery. This turbocharger includes some assembly. hardware for the turbo unit and a strap for the footswitch, but you will most likely end up using cable ties.

Once you have chosen a location for your turbo you may need to extend the wiring to reach the foot switch that will go under the throttle while I am soldering a switch extension, Muddy is doing the turbo conversion, no piping required download or ecu, just a couple of cable ties, I have connected some ring terminals to the power cables of our new turbo and then I can connect them to the battery. For a perfect and professional forced induction installation that hopefully won't explode or catch fire when accelerating at high speed with the switch wiring extended, we can now connect the foot switch to the car, the accelerator has to go all the way down. flip the switch but don't worry it sounds dangerous but it's not because the brzeds are so slow that any of this is going to matter so our professional installation is complete and by professional I mean professional we have constant power running from our battery for our fake turbo charger from eBay, but the brilliant thing about this is that you can use it even with the car off.

Now you can't do that with a normal turbo. You can't hear the purge valve sounds without starting the car in this case. you can, which is amazing, then we have our trigger cable going through here, going through the shield inside the cabin and it's under the gas pedal, go full throttle, let off that throttle, cut pachuchu, you know, it's time to let's Martin go out for the street test drive Well the good news people we don't have a check engine light so that's a great start we didn't have to retune no and now it's time to test our new turbocharged Vrz give it a whack come on yeah it sounds legit I think The only thing that gives it away is the fact that I can hear the switch clicking under your foot you're hitting a click if you put someone in the car and you say: look at my crazy program, they will say: what's the click? here we go again people here we go okay there it is people that's the turbo sound man like no one knows if they're on the outside of the car in particular I think it sounds really good very good can we just for a second?

I just want to cut a very quick clip of my rb 26 240z on the track. Yeah, I want to cut that clip and then once you've heard that, I'll play it one after the other, so listen. this and now listen this is not the same it is not exactly the same I mean it is much cheaper it is 100 times cheaper 10 times cheaper so there it is, it is the fake turbocharger from eBay, but there is still an unanswered question and that's what Sounds better the fake turbo technology from 10 years ago or the fake turbo technology today just to remind your ears that these are the two fake turbos we have to choose between we have this one and this one what do you think Martin, now?

In terms of installation time, there is nothing easier and faster than installing a device like that. It brings you instant smiles, the smiles of your passengers, the smiles of your neighbors, the smiles of passers-by and the smiles of stores when you park your car, turn it off and then blow on it. Now what if you really want a real blowing sound in your non-turbo car? You can do it. This man here has done it. Basically, you need an air compressor. He needs some piping. and you can make your non-turbo car sound like this, so that it's actually real compressed air going through a real bleed valve.

In fact, it's so good that you can even run the entire system in your backpack so you can purge it. The valve sounds like this on your bike, so basically the blow off valve sounds, it makes everyone happy, it's easy to do, it's fun to do or if that's too simple for you you could actually turbocharge your car, that's an option , but for now, Martin. Come on, where did the turbo go? The fake of the real one. Well, the only one we have. The only one left is there. Oh, good, can you open the hood again?

Please, buddy, sure, can we now do the proper episode we were meant for. to make it yeah, so we can get to work, let's go in there, oh yeah, sure, okay, that's it, guys, thanks, see you next time there or there, oh, I think down here, no , I think we're going to go down here. First we have to get rid of the air box, let's get rid of that piece of shit yeah, what a piece of shit.
