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

sometimes when I'm filming myself driving in the rain, testing a nitro system, I like to wear a seatbelt

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

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.

let's me you need some nitrous better not leave and button whoa oh Jesus hello welcome to who V's garage and apparently it's bringing your kid to work to him because my daughter Ellie is here she just graduated from kindergarten the other day congratulations Ellie and her summer program doesn't start until next week so she's with me today it's daddy dick here in this video and I told Ellie we were making a video about the Prius and she didn't even remember this car right no you don't remember this car and that's okay I've forgotten about this car I'm sure most of you have forgotten about this car but I bought it a little over a year ago for only $1500 with a dead hybrid battery I got a bunch of replacement cells to rebuild the battery pack myself and this Prius was back in business but I wasn't done yet I decided to give it a fast and furious theme well well not at first at first I wanted to make the Prius cool so I did a custom interior TVs lowered it Michelin tires custom wheels but then I decided it needed to be fast and furious so I got the orange paint job to pull my man finger just like the Supra from the Fast and Furious and then I added nitrous this was all about six months ago and I haven't done anything the nitrous tank is installed I push a button I switch it on and it goes but I never filled the tank with nitrous the last time I've driven this cars over six months ago during my bachelor party which was a lot of fun this was the backup car we brought on a trailer so if one of my friends cars broke like my friend Bob with his Lotus then he got to drive the Prius on the pig trail this great twisty turny windy road that we chose to go drive on for my bachelor party it was tons of fun and since the Prius got back from that it really hasn't moved and actually it doesn't start the battery is dead again but not the main battery but the normal 12-volt little car battery it's are you bored okay she's fine it's a normal battery it's a little smaller 12-volt battery that is completely dead so the car wouldn't start I'm a little scared to jumpstart a Prius so I've had the trickle charger on it for the last few hours and hopefully it turns on do you think it'll turn on Ellie you think it'll fire up I think so it's a Toyota so let's see I won't bump into you okay so far so good we have power key goes in things and bones it's live Eliot runs yes well that was a lot easier than I thought way easier it started right up I'll wait for the battery to charge a little bit and then we'll go get some nitrous or this thing and actually now I think about it I don't know where to go get nitrous in Wichita Kansas so I'm gonna have to do some googling while the battery is charging but at least she runs again okay Ellie I found someone that sells nitrous it's actually a Ford dealer but it's way out west but at least we can fill up that bottle right next to your head oh don't worry nitrous is a fluid in our gas I don't know in movies it makes the cars go really fast it's used for the plot when you push a button and then you pass cars and also it explodes but they really don't explode nitrous oxide it cools the air it makes it more dense and cooler denser air makes a car go faster much faster hopefully it doesn't stress this Prius engine though because I have no idea how the priest is going to react to nitrous life if it will blow up I I don't know but we don't have to worry about that bottle exploding next to your head I know that I'm not worried about that I've been driven this thing in a long time forgotten how much attention this think it's where everybody's looking at it and laughing I mean I get a lot of attention and say the rolls-royce of the McLaren but it's different it's not people going has he tried by alright good thing you can go up to the parts people and say I like some nitrous please le don't hold it by the net I don't know I learned it from king of the hill and handling propane and propane accessories grabbing food -
