Looking Inside My Toyota Prius Engine that EXPLODED after Nitrous 

You should make a post to the justrolledintotheshop subreddit if you haven't already.

Hoovies Garage CMON MAN! all you have to do is put it in maintenance mode and you can do burnouts and drift

@Hoovies Garage Why not pitch the show to Motor Trend? Gotta lol at the Prius! Less than a second of nitrous and it commits hari kari!

That is definitly a holly motor! Pun intended

Only question is when we are going to see a Citroen DS or maybe a SM. The land yachts of Europe.

nah, just do it in the dry and keep your foot planted.

Also do not nitrous an eclipse.

@@MianCowell It is not traction that killed it; it is almost impossible to overspeed a Prius engine because of the transaxle design. The 14:1 compression engine does not play well with any sort of boost.

I think he's like we all are, so I figured he'd just get it rebuilt then say "we're going to try this just ONE more time", and he'd nitro it AGAIN. I was surprised that he sort of vowed to not do it. I was hoping he would do it again. Why not buy a crappy/cheaper one at auction and just try it again, Hoovie? I DO like seeing what's going on with all the other cars. Should do that more often or as often as you can.

This is disappointing news. That means I will have to install a turbo instead of Nitrous. I was hoping to do both and get up to 200hp. I’d be running sub 10 second 0-60’s lol

Tiger K That’s a good one :D

😂

Now an excuse to do a turbo build, mmmmmmmmmm On the Miata, burn the Prius.

spending 40k on an actual electric car? Hoovie will do it for you for a couple hundred bucks!

Put a Tesla motor & drivetrain into it. Ultimate Prius sleeper :)

The Atkinson cycle just means that it holds the intake valve open during part of the compression stroke, which reduces power but also reduces losses at low load. I don't see how that relates to the failure.

He addressed that common request. Reason: too much work in post production to make it work.

GrimmR34PER555 - yeah that’s what I thought too. There was a long period there when his spoken audio was an issue and he was stuffing around with different single mics (supposedly expensive ones too) and being frustrated that they didn’t work for him, for whatever reason. He probably couldn’t be bothered with syncing up two.

@@chrisfi3d It's really not that much work. At all. Start recording with both mics and either use a time code, or clap three times. The three claps make it CAKE to match the audio up. It would actually be easier to do this than what he's currently doing of increasing the volume when his guests speak. Oh, and his recorder? It's not expensive. You can see it hanging out of his right pocket. It's a zoom pocket recorder. They're like a hundred bucks.

Next video I bought the cheapest microphone in the world

Time to employ a Sound Wizard

Tom B. pop pop pop

And that was when he knew he fucked up.

@@Cliffdog01 And that was when Hoovie knew: he fucked up

You win :)

there's a hole in my block block

Hahahahahahhaaa

Lmfao!

Dude! My older brother did that! The motor held and he sold it that way! Even told the new owner, how crazy is that?!

So.... funny story. I actually did this. The Wastegate boost reference line exploded on my '95 turbo miata and I neglected to enable overboost protection. Needless to say, a stock miata 1.8L can't handle 30+PSI of boost. Bent 3 rods, broke one all to hell. I was a little bored and had a stick welder, so I made a plug from another block and welded it up. Found a huge crack on the other side and jb welded it shut. Here's an album on imgur of it: imgur.com/a/60Tnc Found an extra set of rods, a spare piston, ran a hone through the cylinder that got beat up a little bit by the broken conrod. Threw it all back together, turbo and all. Unfortunately.... I was in a bit of a rush assembling the motor because it was getting dark and I tightened but didn't torque down one of the rod cap nuts. Sadly it only ran for about an hour and I didn't get to go pwn any slow v8 cars with it. :(

Smoke?

@@wiktorixgaming8014 hehe

It's actually like this lol

Contra!!!!

Fuck yes! 😎😆

You just spawned in a Apache

I think The Wizard also has a daughter in college. Plus he recently embiggened his business quite a bit.

You must not know how much instant torque the electric motor produces

@@04dram04 It's still just 100hp. It's more just for traction in bad road conditions.

It's literally the worst part of the car. Even on dry roads if you stomp on it from a stop it'll chirp the tires and kill your power. Then re engage full power and chirp the tires and kill the power again. It's terrible.

@@Brandon_Makes_Stuff yeah, borderline safety issue sometimes.

If they really didn't include a switch to turn that off they must be morons, 100hp or not. Any vehicle with traction control should have the ability to shut it off.

Wizard's defense is a Hannah Barbera cartoon quote "But he told me to, he told me to"

better than the road runner /Coyote toons BEEP BEEP!!!!

Really it's just have the nitrous go into the intake of the engine, it's not gonna be a supercar level of nitrous injection but it works

Wizard also knew he'd be able to sell him more stuff at his ridiculous prices, so he did the right thing. For his own wallet.

I think the issue was that they probably didn't tune the car so that it can properly manage having NOS dumped in it. It probably just dumped the whole thing into the engine and it blew up cause it dumped it all at once.

Seberous actually no they should LS swap it lol

V8 or nothing

It's got amazing aerodynamics tho

Palpatine says "Dew it!"

Especially when he runs over the filter lmaoo

His face is like he just pulled a trigger on shotgun when engine went bang.

Just like Top Gear!

Doesn't Tavarish owe someone an engine block table, and they're both Toyota sooo

And display it in the new hooptie headquarters!

Interesting conversation piece: The only Prius engine in existence known to have N02 holes in it

Great series!

Lol just watched that this week too, was good!

Chernobyl was a hoax, go do some independent research!

@@enquire422 wat

I literally just finished episode 5 about 17 minutes ago.

Wouldn't that have literally exploded the entire the car?

@@firstnamesir6698 Yes, indeedy. Oh, yes indeedy.

Yes, it only reached one cylinder. Your calculation is correct, with a smidgen more for safety.

Mine 2013 can get traction control deactivated after one fuse pulled. Even abs disabled too. I was thinking about add wire into fuse then add switch with fuse so I can deactivate driving assists anytime I want.

Yep, it will decimate all arfter hoovie puts about 15k or more.

Was that fun?!

Well put it on Hoovies tab at Harry’s.

poetry

atleast its not radioactive and need a confinment buildning.

He pressed AZ-5

To expand on that. The combustion chamber is extremely small when the piston hits TDC. I think he hydrolocked it with nitrous and fuel.

nm, started with a 50. Without a window/wot switch. What an idiot.

@@TheRealKoolguy007 I'm going to double down on the hydro lock since spark was probably also knocked out during traction control engagement. That was a violent "come from together" at low rpm (4K Ish...). Also wondering if the electric motors had enough time to react and cause more locking. I imagine a certain amount lead or lag is programmed into motor 1 and motor 2 for acceleration and deceleration. This is all speculation, i do no t approve this message.

Hahahahaha!!!

Call it Fart and furious instead.

Don't think that guy is even remotely technical for that.

@@Questchaun even if he was he'd never complete it since it's not a lambo

That’s a myth

Depends how much the ice continues to expand after solidifying, if you go -20 deg C or more without ethylene glycol the block gets split in two by the ice expanding.

Samuel Holden the 911

yeah, YUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Lol right now it's worth more than the car lolololz

Scott Racing I never understand why he doesn’t do this?

He's already explained it, 2 mics make the editing take way longer, not worth for him.

They also butchered your engine. 🤣

Sup Atkinson.

Hey Chris! Are you my brother? David Atkinson

@@davidbenji1 could be related lol did you help build this engine lol

Even if they turned off TC and kept the engine running, an Atkinson cycle engine isn't designed for NOS and it would still have problems.

Better 2.0 honda engine with 10000 rpm

Is it a direct swap for the 1.5? I'm guessing there isn't that much space under the hood to custom mount it easily.

@@tedarcher9120 nah, keep it toyota

@@wtfizzjus 1.5? Isnt the prius a 1.8??

@@RAFAGaming11 I know the 1st gen wasn't. The dinosaur engine was a 1.5 liter 70-something hp unit. 2ZZ sounds like a great idea. :)

Can't forget the green washers lol

😂🤣😂🤣

And blow a weak engine.

Oh...this would be heaven...a 6BT swap

This, or 2JZ

Damn, I typed the same thing a few minutes ago and scrolled down to see you beat me to it.

LS SWAP

Sleepers are gay these days

@@SydneyChromatic how so?

It's impossible to put in crosswise and lot of work to put in the longitudinal

@@visekual6248 nothing is impossible with a welder and some elbow grease

As long as you don't put it on a diet

Doesn't that melt pistons & burn rings? Not snap connecting rods in a quarter second. I think it was just as simple as rod failure.

T L I’m spitballin’ here, but when the ring gap isn’t opened up in a boosted or nitrous engine, and goes super lean, the heat expands the ring, the ring ends touch and seize the pistons in the bore. The momentum of the crank snaps con rods and causes them to ventilate the block.

The thing didnt run long enough to overheat anything!!

@@owainwilliams4162 Detonation happens almost instantly in this situation.

"Your Nitrous is in a Jar"

Put Tesla batteries in the Prius. Leave the ice out.

Overclocking my testla

Remove the rear passenger seats and place the engine in the middle. Fuel tank in the front. RWD.

Someone did it with 1jz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dN-XnBecwVI.html

Stock powder metal rods would explode, but it might burn up all the oil first. Not Toyota's finest effort. The Prius has a 1NZ(?), I'm not aware of any use of a ZZ engine in the Prius.

Matt Farrah would never use a faggot Prius engine block.

honestly it would make an interesting conversation piece.

Tasteful Transportation how?

@@nestam6844 russ.alman.us/2011/01/12/disable-traction-control-prius/ It takes a whole sun ritual and 15 minutes

You can, I had a friend try drifting his prius after he turned it off

It wasn't TC cutting power, it was because the engine ran out of the rpm range og the hybrid drive
