Soooo.. Whats everyones thoughts on might car mods? Some non

I used to like them, but I started to get annoyed at them, now I can't stand listening to either of them speak. And their content is meh

btw im new zealander

I think Marty is cool and Moog can be a bit of a stupid cunt at times.

Ausfag here, they're typical Australians and you're all racist.

/thread.

Fuck you this is my thread and i decide when it ends you knobbly gremlin dicked fart munch, btw am australian
>>14041928
Really? I think the opposite martys head just annoys me and moogs brings abit of comedic relief to the relentless aussie sun
>>14041925
They have become too professional to relate to anymore

>>14041916
I didn't realise it was possible for none Americans co be so ignorant.

Started out good, now they've fallen victim to the fame bug and GOTTA KEEP GETTING BIGGER

>>14041971
Yeah it seems like there's one every day now. It's either MCM or RCR and it's always, "what do you think of them"

>>14041992
They had a nice medium of fame, money and good content when they made that drift feature film in japan, the mini and beetle are hopefully a return to that stuff

started out really diy, and I loved the cheap as fuck subaru liberty and blue turd swap. Love to watch those, if only those had more info, but great anyway. Later on... i get what they are doing. And i do enjoy that they are having a go at supercharging, which to me seems not as good as a turbo, but for DD maybe is better, whatever. What i like is that they dont have a strict schedule and they dont force shit out videos, they upload new ones when they are ready, which I think puts more pressure than neccesary on RCR. I wouldnt mind if he took a break and made some top notch stuff.

>>14041928
What manga is that, and is it any good?

>>14042022
Supercharger is more efficient and tame whereas a turbo will just go as hard as pyshics will let it so more top end power, i love their interactivity with their fanbase they reply to half the comments on their fb posts and lately have been doing special favours for kids and shit

you just listed nothing to do with efficiency so nice post

Why the fuck would i be reffering to anything but performance by saying efficienct you envirofag with your mpg bullshit

>>14042117

from compression alone this is only a problem above 10 psi boost

But youre adding more than 4x what you took?

>>14042124
Most modern supercharged cars worth their salt come with a water-to-air intercooler that requires it's own waterpump.

>>14042136
Or you can just use your waste gasses to spin up a turbo with no effort.

>>14042160
Or you could not have to worry about when boost kicks in because nice even constant torque and power curve

>>14042117

>"sapping" power from the crank

Are you retarded? I know turbos are more efficient but jesus christ.

>>14042120
Because a system's efficiency is defined as energy out/energy in, and superchargers are parasitic.

>>14042065
"Supercharger is more efficient"
[Citation needed]


What is parasitic loss?
^thats how you win Jeopardy

>>14042297
parasitic loss prevents the boost from having the same HP potential gains as turbo so in regards to boost efficiency it's lower.

but the thing is, unless you're going for the limits it really doesn't matter and your car is still more fuel efficient/powerful than without it and it's much easier than turbo piping since you have half the tubing required assuming proper intercooling.

>>14042626
I am really hoping that poster is talking about "greater efficiency than N/A" because at least that's factual. But saying superchargers are parasitic is not completely accurate.

>>14042103
>constant torque through the entire rev range
Where the fuck are you getting this tripe from? For a given application, a well matched turbocharger will have a broader torque range than a well matched supercharger. Not to mention, a turbocharger's effect is applied through demand (throttle) as opposed to the RPM dependant supercharger.

>>14042056
if you like fanservice, weak plot, shit themes, shit characters, and love tentacles then yeah, it's great.

>>14042664
I mean in the sense that they require engine power, since turbos use the already flowing exhaust gases. They do generate enough power to make up for the power they require, obviously though.

>>14042664
>and it's much easier than turbo piping since you have half the tubing required assuming proper intercooling.
Only if the vehicle in question has an available "supercharger kit", otherwise it's easier to have an exhaust manifold fabricated than a custom belt drive.

Theyr're OK i guess. but when MARTY getting nasty with all sorts thing. it icks me off.

>>14042695
True, exhaust piping is easier to fabricate, but I suppose I mean when it comes to space to plop it in. A lot of engine bays have space at a premium though, but that's not impossible to get around with, considering how many cars have been turbo'd that have never had the factory option.

>>14042117
>Something with a clutch
The majority of superchargers aren't clutched, which is where the "wasted energy" part comes in.

The series was taking a turn for the worst but with the bug and mini they seem to be getting back to cool stuff. Reading about the issues they had with unwelcome visitors and attention while they were working in thwir yard makes me sad. I'm glad they have the new space and hopefully they can get back into making the kind of videos they used to between their sponser paid videos.

its just as much wasted energy with a clutch
its still beign turned with the crank.

*cue shitty bleep bloops*

I guess I don't have anything against them personally or on principal, unlike some other car shows, but they really need to drop any pretense of what they're doing being diy- Considering they're hardly doing anything anymore. I mean sheit, the one guy couldn't even be bothered to paint his own car after how many years of being at this? Come on.

>>14042683
>>14042683
I like all those things.

>>14041916
I like them and I'm not from straya, there latest vids about supercharging a jdm mini is pretty cool just have to get over cheesy jokes

Still better then a lot of American car shows but worse then others 7.5/10
