HOW TO GUIDE: Brake Boosting for Highway Roll Racing. What is it, Why do it & How to do it? 

NELKEL JDM VLOGS samsies. my brother has a few bolt ons on a grey 32 gtr. they are my fav Japan car and model.

Can wait until summer me and my cousin are going to strip a car and make it electronic for hot rod ing

The best thing is im 14

Hey mate, not really - it just simulates additional load on the engine. It also can help you listen out for knocking as you have less road noise.

Brings the boost up to decrease lag. If you kid the turbo up it makes Boost whole maintaining speed at a roll. Will give you a big jump over someone who isn’t doing it.

@@StreetFXofficial I think I get it now, thanks for sharing! I just learned about the concept the other day

obviously it will wear your breaks.Its stopping the car from accelerating.

I know you asked this a year ago, but in case anyone else sees this video and wonders the same thing - Yes, this will absolutely cause excess brake wear. You are "attempting" to accelerate, so you're delivering more power to the wheels which will begin to spin faster. However, you are using the brakes to prevent that from actually happening, so you're essentially taking the energy from the engine to the wheels and using the brakes to transform that kinetic energy into heat (via friction between the wheels and the brakes). So not only will this decrease the overall lifespan of the brakes, but you will also begin to heat up the brakes and increase the likelihood of brake fade. Again, brakes use friction to slow down the wheels (naturally) which turns kinetic energy into heat; as brakes heat up, they lose efficiency and eventually will lose the ability to slow down the car (or other vehicle) altogether (temporarily), which is called brake fade. Worth mentioning that brake fade itself is a temporary condition and once the brakes cool down, they will be function normally again. However, the wear introduced by brake boosting is naturally permanent and will wear out brakes a bit faster, and of course while brake fade will eventually "fade" (pun intended), getting to that point is never a good idea because it, too, will decrease the lifespan of your brakes. That all being said, it takes a fair amount of time to cause brake fade (friction fade, anyway) and generally isn't a huge issue in most conditions because you let off the brakes and allow them to cool down before using them again. It's most commonly an issue when you're, say, going down a large hill and lightly pressing the brakes to control your speed that it becomes an issue, or things like that. I know this is a bit of a long comment and part of it, at least, is not entirely related to the question (that was asked a year ago, lol) but it's definitely something to be aware of while doing this or similar things - brakes are one of, or arguably the, most important systems in your vehicle and everyone should be aware of potential risks that could diminish their ability to function.

I dont recommend this just wait for that lag tho

wear brakes faster or lose a expensive drag race

Shay Von no not at all. Rolling launch control is much better. This causes unnesesairy wear.

lots of power and no grip

Traction control off, put car in neutral hold rev high and instantly shift gear into 2nd from neutral

a powerskid? if you can do one, you'll know.

Think might be a recirc valve not sure but does sound hectic

That's 30 pounds for ya 😮😅

if you're in australia - email mark@streetfx.com.au

yes and they said an auto could do this on the line for a stand still race

oh oks, didnt hear it :L i tried it in my fg turbo 2nd gear at 70 and omg it fking laucnhed :L

Alex Barberan pretty sure he isnt running one and it is just blocked off.. blow off valves do not flutter like that.

Ive seen this comment at least a thousand times. Always a rooky comment.

if you think that's bad, imagine how bad it is launching from 9000rpm :)

Street FX Motorsport TV so it's bad but fun right?

its really not that bad for it.. its progressively applying force - nothing worse than going up a steep hill really.

no brake boosting is not bad for your engine or drivetrain- but it is tough on your brakes...

+DRKRTS it's a road registered car. The yellow 180sx in our other videos is not a street car.

Street FX Motorsport TV i love that 180 btw buddy.
