2018 Chevrolet Camaro: REVIEW
Dilawri Group of Companies:
This is the sixth-generation
2018 Chevrolet Camaro. The word Camaro
doesn't actually mean anything, at least
not officially, but it's said that GM
executives said that it means "a small,
vicious animal that eats Mustangs." Yes,
this is Chevy's direct response to the
Ford Mustang and over the years the two
have had quite the rivalry. Today we're
exploring the 1LT trim with the RS
package. The Camaro is a performance coupe that's also offered in a convertible
body style. Keep watching for our
overview and don't forget to subscribe
to see more from Canada's Largest
Automotive Group.
This Camaro has a
2.0L turbocharged inline-four paired to
an 8-speed automatic transmission but a
6-speed manual is also available. What's
great about the Camaro is that you can
really customize it to be as powerful as
you want it to be. Your engine options
include a 3.6L V6, a 6.2L V8,
and a 6.2L supercharged V8. The benefit of
the turbocharged inline-four is that it's
better suited for different situations--
for example if you drive a lot in the
city versus someone who, for example, is
dedicated to the track and may want to
opt for that V8 instead. This makes 275
horsepower at 5600 rpm and 295
pound-feet of torque between 3,000-
4,500 rpm. The 2.0L gets from 0-100 km/h in about 5.5 seconds but if you opt for
that supercharged V8 you'd be looking at
something closer to 3.7 seconds.
For reference, the highest-performing Camaro, the ZL1, makes 650 horsepower and
650 pound feet of torque.
You can't deny that the Camaro has presence on the road.
It's low, sculpted, menacing even... Today we have it in black although my personal
favorite is the Camaro in Bright Yellow. With the RS package you get this RS-specific
grille and high intensity
discharge headlamps with LED daytime
running lamps. The Camaro comes standard with 18" rims but you can upgrade to
20" options. With the addition of the
RS package you're looking at these
20" 5-split-spoke grey painted
aluminum rims.
And in the rear you have a dual exhaust
with bright tips.
The Camaro also has 258L of cargo
space. And now, moving on to the interior.
The Camaro has remote start and keyless
entry which makes it incredibly
convenient.
This has jet black cloth bucket seats but leather options are
available and so are performance bucket
seats from Recaro for the ZL1. The
driver's seat is 8-way power adjustable
and the front passenger seat is 6-way
power adjustable. Heated and ventilated
front seats are available on some of the
other trims. The Camaro has a leather
wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with
a leather-wrapped shift knob. You also have steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
A lot of brands are doing digital
instrument clusters but I still like the
traditional analog gauges and that is
what the 1LT has although a digital
configurable display is available.
Here are your controls for air conditioning
and heat as well as the controls for the
7" touchscreen display which
supports AM/FM radio, Bluetooth
connectivity, Android Auto and Apple
CarPlay. This Camaro also has a
six-speaker audio system and a head-up
display is available on some of the
higher trims. Let's talk about how the
Camaro performs on the road it's
rear-wheel drive and it is a lot of fun
and handles really nicely. It also has a
sport suspension so when you're taking a
corner or a ramp with vigor, it stays
tight. The Camaro also comes with a
limited slip differential for enhanced
handling and on the higher trim it becomes
an electronic LSD if you're interested
in adding a touch of performance you'll
definitely want to go for the Track
Package. which includes features like a
dual mode performance exhaust system, a performance suspension, and engine and LSD
coolers.
You have a few different drive modes:
Snow/Ice, Tour, and Sport, and for fuel
consumption the 2.0L turbocharged
inline-four gets 10.9L/100km city, and 7.7L/100KM
highway. If you're someone who's mindful of fuel
economy just know that the bigger
engines will be a little less efficient.
When it comes to safety the Camaro comes standard with the OnStar Safety &
Security Plan. Chevrolet is also offering
something called Teen Driver mode which
activates or deactivates certain
features associated with a certain key
fob. You also get an in vehicle report
which can help you monitor your teen's
and driving habits.
There are so many
options when it comes to configuring
your dream Camaro. While the 6.2L
supercharged V8 would be incredible to
have in the garage the inline-four is
still incredibly fun to drive and it's
significantly better on fuel economy. Whichever Camaro you decide to go for
will definitely depend on your driving
style, your habits, and your preference. We
encourage you to take it for a test
drive at your nearest Dilawri
dealership. Start your journey at Dilawri.ca.

Everything you need to Know about Dual Clutch Transmission | Hyundai
HyundaiUSA:
(cheerful music)
- [Narrator] The first time
you drove your Hyundai,
you might have noticed
that its transmission
shifts differently than you expected.
That's because it has something in common
with today's supercars: a
dual-clutch transmission, or DCT.
Conventional automatic
transmissions use something
called a torque converter in
the process of delivering power
from the engine to the wheels.
The torque converter is a fluid coupling.
Blades on one side cause a fluid to spin,
which causes the blades on
the other side to spin too.
There is always some slippage
in the fluid coupling,
which results in the
softer, slower gear changes
you may be used to.
A dual-clutch transmission does not
employ a torque converter and as a result
delivers the quick, firm shifts
that are more characteristic
of a manual transmission.
As its name implies, the DCT
has two separate clutches.
One operates the odd-numbered gears,
the other operates the
even-numbered gears.
While one clutch is disengaging one gear,
the other clutch is
already engaging the next.
Like we said, it's quick and
firm, and more efficient.
For the enthusiast driver, Hyundai's DCT
delivers the best of all worlds:
the sportiness of a manual transmission
and the convenience of an automatic,
with the added benefit
of better fuel economy
compared to a conventional
automatic transmission.

2018 Ford Mustang GT - Review & Road Test
Kelley Blue Book:
More than an automotive icon, the 6th
generation Ford Mustang is a thoroughly
modern rear drive performance coupe. But
even great cars can benefit from a
little mid-cycle update love. Video
editor
bust out that graphic. The updated
Mustang enjoys a range of visual changes
including the hood, grille, front fenders,
tail lights, newly standard LED
headlights, and new colors like this mica-spec Orange Fury paint job. If you spent
time in Mustangs from the 80s or 90s
you'll appreciate the comparative
refinement of the modern car's interior.
Classic and contemporary, the cabin has a
tasteful look and feel especially when
adorned with optional leather trim
heated and cooled seats and these neat
drive mode toggles. However, the center
console feels cheap. This might be OK in
your Hawaiian rental Mustang but in this
particular $49,000 Mustang GT scratchy
plastic feels out of place. Though I am
getting a pretty fresh sound out of it.
Quick aside, if you're wondering why this
GT premium trim is so darn expensive
blame $10,000 in options including
$1,500 for driver assists and $4,000
for a GT Performance Package that adds
Brembo brakes, a Torsen limited slip
differential, a retuned suspension and
19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport
tires. Okay, back to the interior. The
climate and audio controls are easy to
use, the optional 12-inch digital gauge
cluster is vivid and delightfully
customizable and passenger space is
excellent, if you're in the front seat.
Backseat life is more complicated for
three reasons, the seat-back flips
forward, but the seat does not
automatically slide up.
Legroom is a little bit dicey with a
lanky Brit upfront, but if you put
somebody like Lyn who's pixie sized up
front, it's not that bad.
Lastly, headroom is tight. Heaven help hat
fanatics enroute to Pebble Beach or the
Kentucky Derby. On a practical note, cargo
volume is a reasonable 13.5-cubic feet
in the fastback and 11.4 cubic feet in
the convertible. Rear seats can also be
folded flat to accommodate larger cargo.
At less than $27,000 a bass Mustang
comes well-equipped with eight airbags
including front occupant knee airbags,
intelligent access with push-button
start, and two USB inputs. Spend thousands
more for the Mustang premium trim and
you'll enjoy among other things dual
zone climate control, premium door trim,
and Sync 3 infotainment. As far as
infotainment systems are concerned Sync 3 is a good one.
Its eight-inch touchscreen is easy to
navigate, quick reacting and Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto come standard.
Hooray! There's also a Ford Pass app that
lets owners locate, lock and start their
Mustang with a smartphone. Dazzling as
that is we're more impressed with how
the Mustang drives.
Like older Mustangs this generation
Mustang is utterly thrilled to turn.
Precise steering with helpful feedback
makes the modern 'Stang a brilliant
partner on winding roads and unimpeded
on ramps. Ride quality is fine though, for the
best blend of agility and comfort add
the $1700 magneride adjustable shocks
and skip the optional 19-inch wheels. For
customizing the Mustang's throttle
response, transmission behavior and
stability control settings, the Premium
trim offers several driving modes.
On-the-fly adjustability is awesome, but
just remember, when you go into one of
the racier modes like race mode, it
also affects stability control, so you
will have to actually drive the car. You
have been warned. In the engine lineup
there are no bad choices. The base
2.3-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost engine is
plenty powerful, returns more than 30 mpg
on the highway and can hit 60 miles per
hour in less than five seconds. For
balanced performance and efficiency,
the four-cylinder is a perfectly
reasonable choice, but who wants to make
the reasonable choice.
As the automotive gods intended, the
Mustang GT comes with a 5-liter V8
for about $36,000 including destination
charges. It sounds powerful,
and more importantly it is powerful. Ford
says the Mustang GT can accelerate from
0-60 in less than 4.0-seconds and
I believe them, because we are cutting
off the video right now.
For quick departures the manual
transmission offers launch control while
the automatic uses drag strip mode to
minimize power interruptions between
gear changes. There's also a standard
line-lock feature that clamps the front
brakes for effortless burnouts. Use that
power wisely or as close to wisely as
you can muster. One other neat feature is
an available active Performance Exhaust
with varying loudness levels and a time
configurable quiet start mode so you
don't wake the neighbors. This one
doesn't have that.
Choose a Mustang GT coupe with the
standard 6-speed manual transmission and
the EPA thinks you'll see this kind of
fuel efficiency. Expect a one-mpg bump in
the city with the $1600 10-speed
automatic transmission. Speaking of the
automatic, I'm conflicted. I'm utterly
devoted to the dying art of manual gear
changes, but the 10-speed automatic is
just plain good,
and yes after everything I say I will
accelerate.
See? You'll notice that with 10 ratios
engine revs stay in the sweet spot for
supreme acceleration. With a mellower
throttle foot, all those gear changes are
largely transparent. One note though, if
you're cruising on the freeway in tenth
gear and you want a downshift
proactively for a corner that's up ahead,
let's say you want to go to third gear,
that is seven full taps so you can be
in the right gear. It's a lot of gears to
have to work through to get to third, but I'm
there. Nonetheless, with massive
power, rear-wheel drive and a
sophisticated automatic transmission
Ford Mustang grants its driver visceral
dramatic acceleration on demand.
Though I still prefer the manual. For
even more visceral Mustang action
look to the $58,000 Shelby GT350, which
boasts a track-ready suspension and a
526 horsepower 5.2-liter flat-plain V8.
And here's what it looks like being
driven stupidly at a race track. As you
gathered, we like the Ford Mustang, but
there are other ponies in the sea. The
Chevrolet Camaro is a prime competitor
and in ZLl1 guy sports a serious
horsepower advantage over the most
powerful Mustang, at least until the
GT500 arrives. There's also the Dodge
Challenger which offers seating for five,
available all-wheel drive and absurd
Hellcat and Demon variants for your tire
thrashing needs. If you're open-minded, I
suppose the Mustang might also rank as a
value-priced alternative to the BMW
4-series or Audi A5 Competition aside
the Mustang is something special, not
just because of how it drives or looks
but for what it represents. With Ford
dismantling its American car lineup
excluding the Mustang to focus more
profitable vehicles like pickup trucks
and SUVs, this really is the past present
and future of Ford cars. I guess if
you're going to make only one car it may
as well be a wicked coupe.

Here's Why People Buy Used Police Cars, Ford Crown Vic
Scotty Kilmer:
welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where
everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner,
howdy folks this is my P 71 ford crown vic
this used to be a police car, drive this
thing everyday about 70 miles a day,
originally belong to my grandpa after
they bought it from the police auction, when
I got it the paint was flaking off had
old steel wheels, the car did not look this
good at all, I went down to my local
Walmart and bought about 15 cans of
paint and during Spring Break about few
and a half ago, I painted this thing,
she's all spray paint on this car on top
I couldn't reach it too good because I'm
kind of short, I had a guy locally
put me a giant American flag and in
the middle we done in red blue and
green in honor og those who keep our
country safe, the other thing I've done is
in the front g-max tires in
the back 18 by 9 gernal gmax tire
these pretty meaty looking, one part you always need,
performance makes it really good control
arms helps keep the car from spinning
and wheel hop, wheel hop is horrible
in the factory control arms, I'll show you the inside, that sticker there is from the unit number
on this door panel
you can see I got a little bit of latex paint on there don't mind, that but the
police model and on all crown vic I
assume have the seat can close up here
on the door panel, because if I'm sitting
down in this seat and I'm wearing full body
armor, big gun, so it's gonna be hard to
reach down there to adjust the seat, so
they put them right here, just like a
Mercedes, this one also has power door
locks, power windows, power mirrors, on inside aftermarket console as
the police models did not have a center
console because this area would have
been police center console, so these civilian
ones have like a bench seat into the
drivers seat you see the dash, that's
relatively simple but tell you
everything you need,
fuel, speed, and one thing to
note is it goes to 140 unlike a civilian
car which only goes to 120 and
these lights are on because the car is
on but the engine is
not running, over here is one of
the biggest things I've changed the radio
I've had it for like almost two years,
works it's great, you can go to Spotify
and Google Chrome, YouTube, if you want to you can play Angry Birds on it, everything you
can do with a tablet, coming back over here you and
see that it is column shift automatic
you do have the option to manually shift
down to all 4 gears and the transmission
has been rebuilt with her 650 horsepower
to match the wheel build kit and torque
converter, one thing I love about this
car is everything is so easy to use
so easy to find, it's all just hard
plastic though only, things that's kind of soft
touch this right here, it has a little bit of a
soft touch to it, moving back over here and
see that nice sweeping launch even
though this interior is kind of basic I think it has a
decent design
to it, tons of leg room, right here we
have the AC, are again easy to
use got fan speed, temperature, and where you
want it, no fancy gizmos one thing you will
notice is right here it says release trunk, so
the civilian crown vics would have had
a little clock right there at told you
the time and all that, these there again
being centered around the police officer
you have the trunk button right there, so
the advantage of that is so if there
is a police officer sitting here, he can
reach the button and pop open the trunk
which we'll go and look at, one other thing I will you talk
about this vehicle, now this trunk is massive, as you can see in here, there's my book
bag that I used for college, full-size
spare tire, bike rack, toolkit air
compression, over here we got the jack, right here is a 1000 watt power inverter
got two coil vent pioneer subs, one
thing you will notice is there is a fuel
pump shutoff switch, in case of a fire
you just hit that button and it puts off
the fuel, I said this car originally belonged to my grandpa so one of the
things I kind of do is I kind of, he
always wanted to do stuff to it but he
didn't have the time, so there he is
there, I kind of just keeping him there
just remind me, I like to think of him
now and then, then on the other end of it we
have back, you got the back seat
so this one we went through and we put power
windows back here, power door locks,
new back seat and it's really nice you
can see it this is really comfy, like a
couch back here, one other thing you can
see back here, is there's the headliner and
right here you see where it was cut for
cage, one other thing on the headliner
would be this thing right here this is what they
call the ticket light, it's bright as all
get-out you can actually buy at Home
Depot, but it's standard with equipment on
all police cars, go down here and pop
open the hood, so right here on this box is
what they call the cop
chip, P71's only I'm just
kidding nothing's in that box, but what
you will have in this very civilian
model is a different tune a big air box
this is the same air box found on the
Mercury Marauder, which is totally
different animal, you got a battery
the size of a small Honda motor, this
thing is genuinely massive, cost about
$300 so other than that you've got a 4.6
liter two valve v8 these can get around 270
horsepower more or less depends on who
you ask but you got modern features
without modern hassle, so everything is real
easy to work on,
alternators right there, belts real
easy to get to, one thing I like about this one being
a 2004, she'll have mechanical cable, one other thing about is they have upgraded brakes which I did have
paint red,
so we're going back to the back
underneath the car a little bit,
underneath the car you can see the 2
Cherry Bomb glass packs, feeding into an
offload x-pipe
and you can't see them but I have
flowmaster high flow catalytic
converters and all flows back 3 inch tubing to these four inch by 22,,so
that's my P 71 Ford Crown Vic, you want
to know more about the car you can
follow it on Instagram loud vic 281 or
you can find my youtube channel at
bigjackman20
so I hope you enjoyed this video,
god bless, well that was this week's video
and to have your car mod shown on my
channel here, check this out, so if you
never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that

Doing This Will Make Your Car's AC Blow Twice as Cold
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines, today I'm gonna talk
about a common car air conditioning
problem and how you can fix it the
problem is this say the passenger side
is blowing cold air but the driver's
side is not blowing cold air, now a car
like this 94 Celica it's a simple air
conditioning system it doesn't have dual
controls or anything it's got AC you
turn it on or off then it's often a very
simple problem just being low on
refrigerant now this may be a 26 year
old car but I've only had to add
refrigerant one time now here's an old
broken AC compressor
all air conditioning compressors leak
somewhat over time the fan belt spins it
spins a shaft the shaft has to have a
seal on it if that seal was perfect it
would run dry burnout and all the
freon would leak out, they all leak a little bit of
refrigerant and AC oil in order to
lubricate that seal now in a case of
Toyotas it's often a very slow leak I
mean I had to add refrigerant to
this thing once in 26 years so it's a
very slow leak but when it leaks out
enough it will affect the performance of
your air conditioner if you understand
how our air conditioners work it's
totally logical the compressor
compresses the refrigerant it's hot then
it pushes it to the condenser in the
front which gets rid of the hot air, hot air
gets blown away then that gets sucked
into the evaporator inside the dash that
expands and gets cool there then it's
sucked back into the compressor
in an endless cycle and since most cars have
the evaporator on the passenger side if
you're running low on refrigerant the
passenger side can still blow somewhat
cool but by the time it makes it over to
the driver's side it's not cool anymore
so just being low on refrigerant can
make it do that so if you know how to
use AC gauges you can hook them up to see
if your low on refrigerant and if your
are you can add some and if you don't you
can just pay a mechanic to check it it
doesn't take five minutes and here's a
money saving tip guys are always trying
to sell people stuff say your low on
refrigerant they'll say oh wow your
compressor is leaking you need to buy a new
one before you spend a whole bunch of
money if it's been years or if the
system never has had any refrigerant and
first just add some refrigerant I've
done that on cars and sometimes they
last five six years before they stopped
working to get in then you just fill
them up once every five or six years
always start simple and work your way up
and if you do add refrigerant if your
system doesn't have any of that leak dye
a lot of them are made with leak dye but if it
doesn't you can add a little bit of the
leak dye in to so then when it finally
leaves out you'll see the dye coming out
of the area and you'll know which one is
leaking now many cars just have the
single AC system leaving this relatively
new matrix it's got a single system
called on one side not on the other odds
are you just low on refrigerant but if
you have a more modern dual control
system where you control the left side
and the right side independently like
this lexus then things can get
complicated because here as you can see
you can adjust the driver's side from
cold to whatever temperature you want
and the same thing on the passenger side
you can adjust that too, now here of
course you're doing the level of
sophistication all run by computers that
can make your head spin but basically
here's how it works the computer system
take the inputs there's temperature
indicators inside and inside the dash
are blend doors that open or close to a
certain degree to make it whatever
temperature you sided here now of course
a lot of its fantasy you put it on 69
degrees it's not gonna stay exactly 69
but you can make it soap one side can be
as hot as you want in this case will go
too hot or the other side can be as cold
as you want
in that case the passenger side it would
turn the duct to the heater open using
the actuators that open the door so
you'd have hot air blowing here but on a
driver side it would only open the
actuator for the AC system so cold air
would come out here and you can guess
what happens with computer actuated
systems when they break I mean thank
heavens this is a Lexus they hardly ever
break so I don't have to mess around
with it but when they do break
unfortunately you're gonna have to find
a guy like me that has one of these
really fancy computers to access that
data to do bi-directional testing I'll
show you how it works on this Lexus well
the beginning is easy it just plugs into the
data port plugged in then we put on the
car and we're looking for stuff for the
air conditioning system well the air
conditioning system on this particular
one
it's part of the body system so we'll
push body it's got all kinds information
I could join that the magnetic clutch is
off now cuz they see just the cycling
and on a second they're not back on
again
you get all kinds of data you can
analyze and as various active tests that
you can do to not question you don't
have one of these fancy scan tools good
luck trying to figure out what's wrong
it's one of those blend doors is
breaking plus most of the time it'll be
something like an actuator motor you
gotta take the whole damn shit a car
apart to access it repairs can easily
top a thousand dollars on many cars
these days of fun of those stupid little
doors breaks but it is another tip that
might save you a ton of money let's say
you're having electrical problems the
first thing I advise all my customers to
do is have the battery load tested and
have the alternator load tested many
auto parts stores do that free you can
even buy a quality thing to test it you
stop these days for seventy eighty
dollars you know buy an expensive one
like this midtronics this thing was over
eight hundred dollars and it was new
today you can get 60 70 $80 versions
from other companies that work quite
well realize that all
computer-controlled systems require a
steady accurate supply of voltage if the
voltage goes too low or too high
squirrely things can happen if you're
cold on one side hot on the other maybe
there's just not enough power going to
the other side
always check the battery and alternator
before you start spending a ton of money
doing computer analysis and turn the
dash apart and here's another trick
let's say this side is blowing called
and this sides blowing high well the
extra weird is dropping here sometimes
just going back and hitting the dash really hard
if it's a stuck actuator a lot of
times they'll unstick I've had some
customers that drove cars years that way
when one went cold on one side and not the one side they give it a
good whack and it would start working
and realize those stupid doors are
generally made out of plastic and they
can stick as they age and if hitting it works
what the heck
so now you know a bit more about car AC
systems and what you can do if you've
got hot air blowing out on one side but
cool air come out of the other
so if you never want to miss another one

Turbochargers vs Superchargers - Which Is Better?
Engineering Explained:
Hello everyone and welcome in this video we're going to be talking about the differences between
superchargers and
turbochargers more at a high-level standpoint and discussing the pros and cons of each now
i've got a bunch of different videos on very specific types both turbochargers probably about six or so different types out there
which I've discussed and three different types of superchargers which I've discussed in detail
but I wanted to do kind of a high-level comparison of why a might you want to select one
versus another and then from there you can start looking diving deeper into those individual options that you think makes sense for whatever
application it may be now both superchargers &
turbochargers by design help you increase horsepower
dramatically so they give you a huge boost
literally boost being the pressure that is added from the device whether it's a supercharger or a
turbocharger to your horsepower
so you're going to have an improvement in horsepower significantly more power using turbochargers and superchargers they go about it in very different ways a
turbocharger uses your exhaust to spool up a turbine which then
powers a compressor which pulls in air to feed more air to your engine a
supercharger on the other hand is dependent on the engine to rotate it so whether it's gear driven or belt driven or some other form
ultimately the engine is what is powering it?
and so it's going to be some form driven by the engine which will rotate a
compressor and that compressor will supply boost to the engine now
why what are the advantages of going with that turbo realm?
well, there are a lot of advantages from an efficiency standpoint because what you're doing is you're taking that exhaust gas
which is otherwise going to be wasted and turning it into something useful and
allowing you to pull in more air as a result of taking advantage of using that wasted exhaust gas
so a supercharger will not do it
it'll act very similar to a naturally aspirated engine, and then it can't do anything useful with those exhaust gases once
they're leaving the engine now
manufacturers often take advantage of turbochargers to downsize their engines so they can still make high levels of horsepower
but then it allows them to use a small engine so when you don't want horsepower you've got less reciprocating mass
you've got less rotating mass you've got a smaller engine. That's sitting there
whether it's idling or cruising on the highway, and it's taking less energy to do it
it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get better fuel economy when you're flooring it when you're trying to make peak power
you're going to use a lot of fuel, but by downsizing that engine pulling weight out of the car using a smaller engine
there's a lot of advantages from a fuel economy standpoint
why which is why it's so popular with
manufacturers currently so the biggest advantage of a turbocharger being of course it adds power
and it does so efficiently so why might you want to go with a supercharger option? What are the advantages of a supercharger?
well a supercharger is going to have no lag
it's not dependent on exhaust gases in order to provide boost for the engine
it's instead purely dependent on the engine's rpm so as a result when you put your foot down with a
supercharged car you get that power immediately rather than waiting for it like you do in a turbocharged
application the other advantages superchargers can be tuned and so can turbochargers to an extent
but superchargers can be made so that they give you a wide nice linear boost
across the engines rpm range now not this style here. Which is a centrifugal supercharger?
which tends to be top-end heavy as far as adding boost and adding power
but twin screw and root style superchargers give you a lot of power early on you get a lot of low-end grunt whereas a
turbocharger you really have to choose
where you want that power to come on you can have a ton of high end power you can have a decent mid-range,
that levels out on both sides
or you can have that early low end torque if that's what you want makes a lot of sense in diesel applications
which are low revving get that low end grunt and and so but from a you know an entire curve standpoint,
you can generally have a wider range using a supercharger of
effective boost so another reason why they may be chosen
so what are the disadvantages of a turbocharger well as we mentioned, there's lag.
So there's turbo lag, and then there's also the boost threshold, so there's a certain exhaust
there's a certain engine speed at which you produce enough exhaust gas to actually produce boost
that's your exhaust threshold
then once that's been overcome it takes a certain amount of time to pull in that air
have it passed through and go through the intercooler into the engine from spooling up that exhaust
so there's there's a lag associated with it so when you put your foot down the power is not immediate like it is with a
supercharger you have to wait for it the other
disadvantage there is that throttle control so you ask for a certain amount of power, and you wait a bit
and so you've asked for a certain amount amount of power you may assume okay,
that's what I've gotten and then later on more comes with it
so your foot hasn't changed its position
but the amount of power that you're receiving has so the
communication through the throttle pedal is a bit different with a turbocharged car than with a supercharged car and finally
turbochargers of course require engine oil lubrication at a minimum, and so you've got that engine oil
and that's an extra demand which you know is going to be used to lubricate that
turbine shaft as well as the bearings within the turbo and so that's an extra demand on your engine oil
that's going to get very hot from the turbocharger and it's high temperatures
so that's just another thing you have to consider is that your engine oil?
you know will degrade faster using a turbocharger versus for example a naturally aspirated
engine or in some instance instances supercharged cars
which don't have oil lubrication which include root style superchargers &?
twin-screw supercharger x' you probably don't have to have lubrication for those these centrifugal style
superchargers will have oil lubrication, so it does again put another demand on the engine oil
but it's not reaching the temperatures that a turbocharger is so really the big disadvantage with engine oil comes with turbochargers
not with superchargers, so what are the disadvantages of a supercharger?
well
you're taking energy from the engine to make more power so rather than taking energy from the exhaust
like a turbo you're taking energy from the engine directly so it takes a certain amount of horsepower to spin up at or a
supercharger and as a result you lose that horsepower
now you gain it back with pulling in more air but from an efficiency standpoint
it's not the most logical thing to do so from an efficiency standpoint
turbochargers make a lot of sense from a response standpoint
superchargers make a lot of sense now
which do I prefer well if you would asked me that question before?
I had driven a bunch of the different cars out
there as a result of being an automotive journalist and getting into a bunch of different press cars
I would have told you that I preferred
turbochargers, and I would have told you that because they are so much more efficient
and I think that makes a lot of sense from a logical standpoint
turbochargers make a ton of sense there. They're good today in which you can get very little lag
you can get wide rpm ranges of effective areas with different technologies like twin-scroll turbo
variable geometry turbos, so there's cool technology out there that kind of reduces their
drawbacks
but
after having driven a bunch of the different vehicles out there and after having driven many numerous turbocharged and supercharged vehicles
What I find is that I find
superchargers far more enjoyable and the reason is because there's zero lag and so when you put your foot down
you get exactly what you asked for and I think the thing that you come to appreciate
after you start to drive a bunch of different vehicles out
there is having a throttle pedal that does exactly what you ask it to do so with the supercharger
you give it 50 percent you get 50 percent and your your pedal does exactly what you're asking of it in real time
with the turbocharged car you could take that pedal mash it in real quick and
nothing's going to happen at all because it doesn't have enough time to spool up that throttle pedal
so you mash it in you wait and the amount of torque that you get it doesn't correlate
perfectly with where you've positioned it with respect to time and so I think that's the big difference is that
pedal you could be all over the place with your foot and the response that you're getting at the wheels as far as torque is
also all over the place and not matching it versus a
supercharger as you're changing that position of the throttle pedal
you're getting you're feeling that change immediately
so it's responding
exactly how you ask it to and that response makes you feel really connected to the vehicle so me personally
I have enjoyed more driving supercharged cars rather than driving turbocharged cars that said there are many great
turbocharged cars out there that do a phenomenal job of you know
mapping the throttle very consistently making it seem like there's not a huge amount of lag that there's not a huge torque
discrepancy depending on where it you know you're putting your foot on that pedal, so I like the way that some cars out there
I've done it just overall from a feel perspective. I feel like superchargers are more fun to drive
so thank you all for watching and of course feel free to check out the many different types of superchargers and turbochargers.
I will include links in the video description if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them below.
EASTERN PHILOSOPHY - The Buddha
The School of Life:
The story of the Buddha’s life, like all
of Buddhism, is a story about confronting suffering.
He was born between the sixth and fourth century
B.C., the son of a wealthy king in the Himalayan
foothills of Nepal.
It was prophesied that the young Buddha — then
called Siddhartha Gautama — would either
become the emperor of India or a very holy
man.
Since Siddhartha’s father desperately wanted
him to become the former, he kept the child
isolated in a palace.
Young Gautama had every imaginable luxury:
jewels, servants, lotus ponds,
even beautiful dancing women.
For 29 years, Gautama lived in bliss, protected
from the smallest misfortunes of the outside world
But then, he left the palace for short excursions.
What he saw amazed him: first he met a sick
man, then an aging man, and then a dying man.
show these kind of people in India—add them
to the same image one by one
He was astounded to discover that these unfortunate
people represented normal—indeed, inevitable—parts
of the human condition that would one day
touch him, too.
Horrified and fascinated, Gautama made a fourth
trip outside the palace walls—and encountered
a holy man, who had learned to seek spiritual
life in the midst of the vastness of human suffering.
Inspired by the holy man, Gautama left the
palace for good.
He tried to learn from other holy men.
He almost starved himself to death by avoiding
all physical comforts and pleasures, as they did.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it did not bring him
solace from suffering.
Then he thought of a moment when he was a
small boy: sitting by the river, he’d noticed
that when the grass was cut, the insects and their eggs were
trampled and destroyed.
As a child, he’d felt a deep compassion for
the tiny insects.
Reflecting on his childhood compassion,
Gautama felt a profound sense of peace. He
ate, meditated, and finally reached
the highest state of enlightenment:
Nirvana
It refers to the “blowing out” of the
flames of desire.
With this, Gautama had become the Buddha,
“the awakened one”.
The Buddha awoke by recognising that all of
creation, from distraught ants to dying human beings,
is unified by suffering.
Recognising this, the Buddha discovered how
to best approach suffering.
First, one shouldn’t bathe in luxury,
nor abstain from food and comforts altogether.
Instead, one ought to live in moderation .
The Buddha called this
the middle way
This allows for maximal concentration on cultivating
compassion for others and seeking enlightenment
Next, the Buddha
described a path to transcending suffering called
The four noble
truths
The first noble truth is the realisation that
first prompted the Buddha’s journey:
that there is suffering and constant dissatisfaction
in the world.
The second is that this suffering is caused
by our desires.
As the Buddha said,
“attachment is the root of all suffering.”
The third truth is that we can transcend suffering
by removing or managing these desires.
The Buddha thus made the remarkable claim that we must change our outlook, not our circumstances.
We are unhappy not because we don’t have
enough money, love or status but because we
are greedy, vain, and insecure. By re-orienting
our mind we can grow to be content.
The people become happier—superimpose smiles
or use a second image of their face
With the correct behaviour and what we now
term a mindful attitude, we can also become
better people. We can invert negative emotions
and states of mind, turning ignorance into
wisdom, anger into compassion, and greed into
generosity.
The fourth and final noble truth the Buddha
uncovered
is that we can learn to move beyond suffering through what he termed
the noble
eightfold path.
The eightfold path involves a series of aspects
of behaving “right” and wisely:
right view, right intention, right speech, right
action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness,
and right concentration.
What strikes the western observer is the notion
that wisdom is a habit, not merely an intellectual
realisation. One must exercise one’s nobler
impulses on a regular basis, as one would
train a limb. The moment of understanding
is only one part of becoming a better person.
After his death, The Buddha’s followers
collected his “sutras” (sermons or sayings)
into scripture, and developed texts to guide
followers in meditation, ethics,
and mindful living.
The monasteries that had developed during
the Buddha’s lifetime grew and multiplied,
throughout China and East Asia.
For a time, Buddhism was particularly uncommon
in India itself, and only a few quiet groups
of yellow-clad monks and nuns roamed the countryside,
meditating quietly in nature.
But then, in the 3rd century B.C., an Indian
king named Ashoka grew troubled by the wars
he had fought and converted to Buddhism.
He sent monks and nuns far and wide to spread the practice.
Buddhist spiritual tradition spread across
Asia and eventually throughout the world.
Buddha’s followers divided into two main
schools:
Theravada Buddhism which colonised Southeast Asia, and
Mahayana Buddhism which took hold in China and Northeast Asia.
Today, there are between a half and one and
a half billion Buddhists in both East and West
following the Buddha’s teachings and
seeking a more enlightened and compassionate
state of mind.
Intriguingly, the Buddha’s teachings are
important regardless of our spiritual identification.
Like the Buddha, we are all born into the
world not realising how much suffering it
contains, and unable to fully comprehend that
misfortune, sickness, and death
will come to us too.
As we grow older, this reality often feels
overwhelming,
and we may seek to avoid it altogether.
But the Buddha’s teachings remind us of
the importance of facing suffering directly.
We must do our best to liberate ourselves
from the grip of our own desires,
and recognise that suffering can be viewed
as part of our common connection with others,
spurring us to compassion and gentleness.
