True story: While I was going though flight training, one of the pre-flight tests is a magneto loss test. You have two mags and swap between both and only one. Problem is the same key switch also goes all the way to ignition OFF. I was nervous the first time and gave it a little too much oomph and went right past R and L and straight to OFF. I immediately realized I screwed up and flipped it back to one of the running states and it backfired something fierce. Shook the whole plane.

To get a new 1qt bottle of oil pour started… pour it sideways (front label facing towards the fill hole). This will allow 2 things: 1. The spout can get a lot closer to the hole before the oil comes out. & 2. You’ll get a nice even pour with a steady air flow (no air gulping).

14:43 definitely works, but only on PVC plastic. The semi soft stuff used on old dirt bikes and quads. HOWEVER…. There’s a better process. Use the finest grit sand paper you can find, polish off the oxidation, and use a heat gun, which has significantly more control.

So the hack with the plastic trim and torch. Your biggest issue is you are using MAP gas I believe which burns hotter than propane. I used to work at a plastic rotational molding company and we would use the big propane weed burning torches to bring the color out on products. The heat realigns the plastic molecules which gives it that fresh shinny look. Love the video boys! Keep em coming!

@tatchik77 Год назад

That was my thought too, MAP is too hot.

MAPP burns way hotter than propane, but no one makes MAPP any more. That was almost certainly Map Pro, which is propylene, which is only marginally hotter than propane. I think they were mostly just holding it too close.

The antilag hack is known as “keybang”, they work on older “carburetor” cars since there is no ECU to control the fuel going through the engine when you shut it off, and basically the engine is still kinda running when the switch is OFF but the fuel isn’t ignited, goes into your tail pipe, and when you switch back ON, BOOM! EFI cars basically shuts the fuel pump (when you turn the car off) so there is no Bang….

@roshailsmedia2067 2 года назад

@@persil98 I cant say tho, cuz the ECU of stock EFI vehicles tend to cut off the fuel when ignition is turned off. Now an standalone ecu could let this happen, cuz thats where 2 step comes into play, 2 step and antilag basically limits your RPMs by cutting the ignition, and let the fuel go into tailpipe without igniting it, so the force induction systems can be fully spooled (in case of turbos) at a limited Rpm, and eventually you’ll get bangs cuz that fuel is ignited!

It’s also used on plastic stadium seats, but the key there is also a much slower billowing flame. You don’t want a ton of heat blowing too quickly at it, you just need the heat to barely lick the surface so it melts and refreezes the plastic quickly, which will refinish the surface since the grime and oxidation will burn right off as it happens

Question, how do you protect the paint? Do you need to? I've thought about doing this to my car but I'm concerned the paint near the plastic will bubble or peel.

@mamiller814 Год назад

We restored all the plastic on an old four wheeler to almost like new condition with this hack saving a massive amount of cash. We used both a torch and a heat gun and while I agree the torch can be a bit trickier I found it gave us a deeper shine in the end but probably could get that with the heat gun with a little more work. Torch was just faster and I'm impatient!

@ludodg 2 месяца назад

The oil hack: try pouring with the opening of the oil-container not down but up. This way you can pour without airbubbles interfering with the oil. Once there sufficient oil has been poured, you can flip the oil-container and pour more rapidly. Works even faster then using the oil-stick as a guide. Using a stick to guide the liquid however stays a brillant hack for when you need to pour very precise.

A little bit of compound helps with the burn you can get with buffing, preferably hit it after you spur off your pad between sections. Drills dont have enough rpm to get that shine needed, you need a buffer IMO

@annslow41 2 года назад

Also I'm sure it depends on the gas that you use; propane versus butane. I believe butane burns a ton hotter, so propane is the way to go. I've seen videos of this working on sun damaged stadium bleacher seats using a larger flamethrower nozzle and further distance from the nozzle in the plastic resulting in lower heat. Makes me wonder if this might work done fogged up headlights 🤔

Plastic trim fading sucks. But, it's really not that difficult or expensive to get it looking new again. Simply scuff the trim with a scotch pad. Tape off the painted areas and spray a couple light coats of clear coat on it. $2 dollar general clear coat is what I have used. This process usually last 1.5 - 2 years.

@PhoenixStrykers 3 месяца назад

For the popping car hack, we do something similar in "piston popper" airplanes to check and see if the magnetos ground properly. We start with both mags ungrounded(active) and QUICKLY turn the key to the off position, then back on. If a person waits too long, fuel can build up and the engine will "backfire." Kinda looks like the guy in the hack is doing something similar and forcing fuel into the engine, then when the car's sparkplugs fire, kinda causes a backfire type deal.

@CharGorilla 2 года назад

Regarding the Anti-Lag hack, this generally only works on cars with a Carburetor as opposed to EFI. As with a Carby, the fuel / air is mixed by purely mechanical actuation and passive fluid dynamics, which continues even once the spark plug is disconnected. The combustible mixture will be passed out the exhaust valve and start to fill the tailpipe. The longer you have it 'off' for, or more you pump the gas, the bigger bang you get! This works extremely well on older cars, and in most cases if you overdo it, you will blow a hole in the muffler (permanently giving you that sweet aftermarket exhaust sound). In reality it sounds more like a backfire than an Anti-Lag system. It can be great fun if have a car you don't care about, and want to scare the crap out of anyone nearby!

The antilag hack would work with a carbed engine, since the air flow would still suck gas despite the electric switch state being off. As soon as you turn on the switch there will be an excess of unburned gas inside the exhaust.

Anyone reading this, for god's sake don't do this to a car. You can bend a valve, warp the throttle body, even blow a converter or muffler off the car. It's about as smart as dropping a small bomb in the intake. A single backfire, (this is an intake backfire) can do thousands of dollars worth of damage. Oh and on a vehicle with a carb it will often burn the car to the ground. You just threw fire at a carburetor full of gasoline.

11:48 fun fact if you do this with a carburetted vehicle while it's in motion you can literally detonate the muffler and cat. Raw unburned fuel/air charge will build up in these areas and when the engine fires back up again the resulting pops and bangs will be quite a bit bigger than expected. This happens because carburetted vehicles rely on physics rather than electronics to fuel themselves; any time the engine is rotating it is pulling fuel in and if it's not burning it that fuel gets pumped right back out again.

@kevincosta9228 Год назад

the ignition cut crackle hack is an old school thing, works much better with a carburetor because the carb keeps putting fuel in when the ignition is cut. Re-ignition causes big KA-POW backfire.

If you save one of your oil bottles or any plastic bottle, you can cut the bottom off it and use it for a funnel. I have a funnel I made from a bottle of gas treatment with a long neck. So it's small enough to go into the gas tank when I empty my gas cans for winter storage. That kind of bottle works better than the funnel I bought before I used the bottle. And if you buy bottled water you have all the disposable funnels you could possibly want and never have to clean them when you're done.
