Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Hoovie is the village idiot and I love that.
How big of a nitrous shot did he use?
This is LOL, if you can't watch whole video at least skip ahead to 11:18 where he starts finding parts on the road
I laughed out loud when he found the oil filter
sometimes when I'm filming myself driving in the rain, testing a nitro system, I like to wear a seatbelt
I HAVE A FLIGHT IN THREE HOURS. IM JUST GOING TO PRESS THE RED BUTTON.
I bet these engines are only just as tought as they need to be, so I guess they might not handle much load over stock, making them stronger would only worsen their efficiency
Time for an LS swap.
That has to be like the best surprised Pikachu meme worthy video ever. Yet still loved it.
This reminds me of a friend in California in the early 2000s, when everyone was into those pocket bikes with the weed-whacker motors. You couldn't "legally" (term used loosely because those bikes were never strictly speaking road legal in California anyway, but the laws were muddy enough that some folks genuinely believed that a 49cc motor was legal) put a bigger motor in, but you wanted more power, so what do you do?
The friend in question came up with a solution... take one of those pocket tire inflaters, powered by 12 gram co2 cartridges. Put a hose from where the schrader valve was into to the top of the carb, and then replace the co2 cartridge with a nitrous oxide cart from a whipped cream machine (iirc the cartridge sizes differ slightly so some modifications were required).
The idea was: hold the throttle open with one hand, squeeze the nitrous with the other, and enjoy the extra horsepower... I remain utterly unconvinced it actually generated any power (don't you need additional fuel with the nitrous?) but it destroyed a 2-stroke engine in pretty short order.
