Guys it’s RUclips having problems not my vid. Try skipping ahead to 7:00 if you get stopped, that seems to be working for people. If it continues, perhaps logout and back in. I know there was a recent app update... ugh 😑
Cleetus McFarland thanks for letting me know
Cleetus McFarland thats not very American of them
I’m so sad.
Just saw that
Gosh dang brother I was excited
21:27 I can only imagine what people are thinking when they see a turbo'd Cobalt ripping down a backroad with 4 guys in labcoats in it.
Beer Run !!!
I dont even know what that car is, must be some shitty US car.
LOL..
RoeGi 1337 :(. Sadly you’ve missed the point.
I miss my 05 cobalt SS, it was a true SS not one of those posers. Supercharged, has a little work done and a tune from trifecta. That car would shit and get and still get 30 mpg on the interstate just cruising. Miss that car really bad
James: "If it stays on the dyno any longer, I'm gonna have to spray it!"
I was kind of hoping they would spray it. Perhaps setup a ghetto system like on the Galaxie
I wonder when he will do and 250 shot and just blow the stock internals
@@TheBignick243 Seeing them do a video like the exploding nitrous subaru would be great ^^
ruclips.net/video/nl2j-hRpKOk/видео.html
This is an example of how you don't always need a ton of power but good friends and fun vibes.
And 2.5k dollars
"Extremely easy to install" - puts the box in the passenger seat.
Could've just as easily routed it to the trunk tho...
Secured with seatbelt!
Works didn't it
Ever hook up a subwoofer in your car?
Should have used Velco
15:40 "It felt like a small shot of nitrous"
Hold up. We got rechargeble nitrous We can have a real life NFS race.
Holy shit that's insane.
Thats what i was thinking a factory na engine like Hemi or Cheny LS
...my...GOD you're right that's great
😂
Finally an electric one that works! I hope they make one that spins a 4.6l 2V.
Cleetus : "Get the bottle we're spraying this thing "
James : "Say no more "
😂
I was really bummed they didnt spray it.
Me too
"We gotta say dynamometer not dyno, because it's a science video"
Later : "120 torque !"
it’s $3600 now 💀
Yep!!! They inflated the price from so many orders 😢
LGB
I'm just gonna build my own
@@MintberryCrunch452I really wanna do that to
“Blowbalt” I nominate thee for name!
+one for blowbalt
Haaha
Slobalt
I call my old lady's cobalt "the sewing machine"
If I had a dime for every owner that called their cobalt a slowbalt 🤦♂️
"We have tooken an awesome machine and made it awesomer"
Couldn't have said it more better myself!!!!!
James was so astounded he got tongue tied!!
betterer
Yesn’t
This episode is a classic. It’s got the whole gang in it, Cleet, James, Coop, Tune em All and George 🤘🏻
COVID was rough, everyone looks 20lbs lighter lol
Now we got 10 second electric supercharged cars though
This was the video that started me on this channel. Imagine if they outfitted all of the crown vics in the freedom 500 with two of these...well they'd need bigger versions I think but that'd be awesome lol.
This is the video that introduced me to Cleetus' channel. I re-watched the entire Leeroy build and some earlier videos. I feel the videos have got so much better since Maddie came on the scene. She has such a positive energy and she is definitely a keeper. I was so happy when you two got married 🥲
She needs a pvc Y connector with twin power amps
THIS!
Good call
You sir should be nominated for an award for tht idea!
Compound Torqueamps!
why stop at 2?
What you need is a second air intake with a flap valve that closes under positive pressure. So you can drive around naturally aspirated without losing the horses, and when you hit the turbo the valve shuts and delivers the boost. Or you could do an electric solenoid valve that closes when you press the button. Just some ideas. :)
was thinking the same thing. needs a way to save the 10 hp for bottom end and a throttle switch to control the turbo so it kicks in under full throttle. Was also wondering what it would be like if a guy ran twins on there, would that negate the boost drop in higher rpm
Torque amp sell a diverter valve.
@@scottborkowski4487they sell a diverter valve and a throttle sensor.
yes
It must be labeled LAUNCH CONTROL with a safety switch if that happens.
I’m not going to lie, that little electric turbo is very cool. Price tag and all, it’s a crowd pleaser, I like it. Makes me happy being an Electrical Engineer seeing some electric boost lol
But you probably thought as I did that a secondary dedicated 48V alternator might allow a better duty cycle.
“Dude, let’s go to the track!!!”
“Hold up, i gotta charge my turbo”
"we're gonna put some 93 in it"
"You think this can take e85?"
"Okay so we just put a gallon of methanol in it"
Three fuel types that that thing never actually needs.
🤣🤣🤣
Well, that escalated quickly!
should have thrown the nos at it haha
That's all octane booster is, but you don't normally add a gallon
"If it stays on the dyno, you know it's getting sprayed" LOL
Looking back to a year ago watching this video. Car full of grown men giggling over a little performance is what’s it’s all about love you guys
Mr. McFarland you are helping many further their careers. You have brought me inspiration. I myself am a automotive technician. My cousin Alvaro Jr turned me in your direction. Such a great cousin. Your videos and knowledge you have shared, has been a big help. Thank you!
Imagine you're a cop and you pull over 4 giggling guys in lab coats for spinning tires and speeding in a cobalt with no hood, gauge sticking out of the hood and a laptop in the back seat.
Give em a pass on account of the lab coats and giggling.........................and the mullet.
@@truthinaction0000 the mullet makes it legal.
Cop: dispatch, we are going to need a drug dog to the scene.
My dream is to have an 89 Chevy IROC, a fro mullet(look it up) and awesome 80's rock blasting on the radio.
I will get pulled over a lot.
Like a truly beautiful woman(real 10) giving genuine romantic love, that shit ain't right!
"This is a 2.2 liter, so it is a small engine" *Cries in 1.6*
Cries in 125 cc bike
Quit bragging about that massive 1.6. I'm rocking a 1.4.
For the longest time I drove a Geo Metro just under 1 liter, 3 cylinder.
@@crissd8283 same man ....had to floor it everywhere to get up to speed. i paid 300$ for mine lmao
Pff, my 2L has 400hp!
She’s a ripper for sure. You could use one of these to jump start a turbo to eliminate turbo lag.
If im not mistaking, you see that in a lot of higher end cars these days. A small electric turbo for the low end, and a bigger traditional turbo for the high end.
For 2000$
Their website shows them doing that for a Mk4 Supra
You are on to something…….
could you imagine throwing this thing on a fiesta st a hybrid turbo that loves tons of air compression.
You should get a second torqamp and make a twin turbo setup on a V8
Blaine Carvalho even though the electric turbo is designed to be used on engines up to 3 liters ,on Torqamp website, they sell a bypass valve to be used on motors lager then 3 liters or to spool up turbos faster
Methinks it would be a more impressive difference as a 2xtorqamp on a 3L v6
You are thinking too small, one torqamp for each cilinder!
When James said "if it stays on this dyno it's getting sprayed you know that" had me rolling!!😂🤣
yea xD but was kinda true tho xDxD
Dr sprayemall dont play
This is the best car video I've ever seen on RUclips by far. Electric turbo button on a Hertz special Chevy Cobalt?!? 5 lbs. Psi boost? Freakin awesome is science word of the day. Burn dem tires off boys!!!!
I’m jealous of how much fun you guys are having playing with that car!
"what's the retail on one of those"
"More than you can afford pal... Torqueamp"
I'm seriously reading this in the F&F dudes voice too.
rofl!
$2500
@@vincentstellato5783 this vs a boosted boiz ebay turbo I'm going ebay because even after paying for the fab work u come out ahead
I bet the main bulk of the price is the battery.
This whole event was just an elaborate scheme to shock George with the controller. Hilarious.
Hell yeah happy to see Dr. Cletus come through to answer a question I was looking for.
I’m Ford guy but you guys a great fun to watch all the stuff you guys do is so fun thank you for making us smile
4 dudes in lab coats riding around in an electric turbo cobalt..... this has to be history making
I said the sane thing lmao. Imagine them getting pulled over and the officer seeing 4 grown men in white lab coats speeding in a Cobalt hahahah
Meh, just another day in Central FL
@@sqmotorsports9230 I don't know: It seems rather "stereotypical" to me!
With a laptop and a lift controller coming out of the dash
Installs turbo... Immediately takes off hood. 🤣
Hood Lives matter too!
I just find it hilarious that anything they modify the hood ends up off. Even in this case where they could have easily left it on. Haha.
@@austin12m toast has a hood! Lol
Installs turbo immediately adds methanol.
This is pretty cool I've never heard of such a thing until Cletus come up with another brilliant idea 💡
Excellent program of yours, testing stuff. I feel electric turbos are on the way to everyone soon
You should get Nate involved when possible, he seems pretty cool!
I second this
Agreed!
This is prolly nates secondary account 🙄 stop fooling around on the internet guy.....
Hell yeah, remember when James just appeared one day!
@@richo2765 what video was this?
when your electric turbo costs more than your car
YES...yes it dose
No more worst then a set of rims
And still only makes 3psi
The batteries... the turbo itself probably is cheap.
@@KrisBendix I was wondering about that 48v is 48 volts 4 optomas should do the trick the turbo housing is cheap the real question is the high torque electric motor on the housing. I don't know who makes that. If Cleetus would show us the motor it could be made for much less than 2500
Straight from 87 Octane setting for 2yrs, to 91, to E85 to Methanol !!! HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
Excellent turbo.
Good video.
Simplicity in its self.
Its a Need for Speed style recharging-while-driving nitrous system
Lol yeah that’s what I was thinking
if you were to take one of the really simple hybrids like for example Hyundai does (motor-generator just sits between the engine and tranny and connects with a clutch) and use it's electrical system = boost for dayz (or until the electric motor in the turbo cooks off...)
basically thats how i saw it
Quote of the day James: "We've tooken an awesome machine and made it awesomer."
English doesn't matter when committing 3rd degree badassery
Take into account the mullet is growing..
I think we need a Cleet Science t-shirt with that exact quote
I read this comment as James said that lol
And that’s a fact a big fact
I’d wanna see something like this in a twin turbo setup tbh
“Let me see you push it”.. “Alright I didn’t know if it was going to shock me” 😂 😂 George is on point! Lol
I see twin electric turbos in this cars future.
Why just twin? fit as many as can feed into the intake. Have tuneable boost by kicking on more of them as RPM increases.
Dude they need to do a twin turbo one
car's* future. : /
Twins.... yes. I hope they make a bigger one
One turbo per cylinder
“I like how you can rev it on demand, it’s like a ricer special” GOLD!
Turbos are not cosmetic not matter what spools them.
Sit at the lights revving your turbo 🤣🤣🤣
@@Matty.Hill_87 Dumb! Takes 10 times as long to recharge the power pak.
Man this thing makes a lot of sense. Especially if while the turbo was switched off it was generating power back to the battery
It’s wild how James just brought his friend Nate lol now years later dude is basically part of the team
Coop: "We usually fail, this feels weird "
I don't know how but I always read these comments just as they are about to say it in the video.
I'm fucking dying
Are we just not gonna talk about how this guy is tuning a Cobalt ECU on the spot😮😮😮
Using HP tuner
Reflashed it already lol.
It does not know it is a cobalt. It is just a GM ECU and the HPtuners suite.
@@berrytharp1334 sure it does. 07-10 2.2s are supported. You could treat it as a generic controller but its cheaper just to use the VIN
HP Tuners is compatible.... E67 ECM I believe....or E69....🏁
This was an awesome video on so many levels 😆
Loved the lab jackets haha
Florida man, electrocutes himself in his side by side while driving through a small puddle... lol
I love how you call a 2.2 litre "a small engine"
Yes I'm European.
2.2 Litre is a small engine when you think of the size of a Ships engine you can stand upright in the Chamber . even get a ladder in them So years ago a 2.2 was seen as a Big Engine. But in reality they are Small .
Yea hahaha base model cars start at inline 4 cylinder 2.0L. Medium engine 3.0L big engines 4.0L+
I drive a 4.6l v8 U.S.A!!
Most cars here are 1.0 1.2 or 1.4 turbo downsize engines🙁. In the netherlands.
Yes - we call the 5.4 litre Chevy engines "small blocks." 7 litres is a "big block," but it's actually sort of standard size for a muscle car. Above that, we resort to turbo/supercharging, because roads are hard to widen . . .
Just saw this one come up! One of the best I've seen. Realtime practical boostage from a $2500 add on + tune! I'm just thinking of nall the great stuff I could attach this to.
Not really worth $2500. Yeah it works, but for that price you could just install a conventional turbo setup on most cars and make more power
This was my 1st Cletus video, and def one of my favorites. And I think I just heard my favorite quote (which definitely deserves a come back) "unpresidented." Reminds me of something Ricky would say from Trailer Park Boys.
Probably not the first meth that cobalt has seen.
MJM’s Workshop cobalts are meth machines for sure tweeker car all day long
I just spit out my damn drink reading this hahahaha
Lmao
Thats why they were wearing lab coats 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@theangryitalian7922 Doesn't stop at cobalts, old chevys in general seem to be the vehicle of choice for tweakers
Imagine the embarrassment of getting straight whooped by this cobalt.
not just that, a bone stock, automatic cobalt. it would be devastating
Goaty McGoatface This bad girl ain’t stock though. ;)
@@eddominates i got a stock skyline once in a fusion
Nice . I think you have the talent to do an engine swap . How about Buick 2.0 liter turbo 4 cylinder in that Cobalt.
Whooped by a stock cobalt 4 grown men deep.
I can’t believe this was only 3 years ago. Insane. These were the good old days.
Came back to watch this video and spotted baby squirrel in the wild!! So glad Georgie is a part of the cleet team now.
"4 dudes in labcoats in a cobalt with a laptop these dudes aint playing!" 😂

What are you guys doing to George behind the scenes he's sketchyy around James 😂
James be cup checking him
Yeah not funny

Next episode, Leroy gets quad electric turbos.
Freaking amazing. Looks like finally someone nailed the electric supercharger
22:50 looks its a young LS George in his natural habitat!
The wife: what is this box for and why did it cost $2,500?
Me: oh that’s the new and improved air filter. You need it for your car
xDDDDDDD
It will go down if they mass produce it. Instant sleeper kit. I love it.
Go buy a $300 4 banger, pop this baby in and away you go!
Mark Estrada and imma do it
It's a dealer item....lol
20 Extra HP for the price you could buy 2 more cobalts 🤣🤣🤣 nice video though it was fun

Just watching these videos back, he's now licking 3000bhp. Keep going cleetus. Love from Scotland
Cleetus: we can run 20 psi
James: pffft 45
"Their not gettin this one back"..as they all laugh like school girls
xD
Just installed mine last week. It's awesome!! Got it because of this video
Man, that looks like a lot of fun. Making me want to throw one on the new manual crosstrek I just bought. That thing is the definition of turtle speed.
You think Georgie has a little PTSD dealing with those guys? LOL
Devin Buchhorn he immediately went in to cockslap defense mode when james got out of the car... definitely
I kinda wish it really WAS all an elaborate scam to shock him haha
@@DrVink86 It is. This is just the long con. They're going to get him all the way to the track and in the blocks ready for a rip...then Cleeter is going to hit a switch and when Georgie hits the boost button, he's going to get tickled...
@@bubbabrown6917 cockslap sounds a little bit different than a cupcheck
Cup check..roflmao
It’s such an easy install, you can easily install and remove from any rental car.
Yeah, it's all fun until the tattle-tale computer informs the Avis dudes.
Just need a coupler kit of some sort and a set of jumper cables for the power feed and your set!
James Plotkin Avis knows if you do something?
You think rental car companies can tell if you install a nitrous kit carefully? I know this would be easy to pull off undetectably but I think anybody with experience could pull off the bigger cheaper temporary mod of NO2.
@@taylor3915 I think all the rental companies can track where you drive, like some contracts say not to drive out of the state, plus there's data recorded. Years ago, a guy got hit with a $400 bill for going 100mph, so yeah, big brother is out there. Most new cars today have data recording of the last 30 seconds before a crash. Rental and insurance companies can tell if you were speeding, hit the brakes at all, throttle position and know even more.
Nate's first appearance IIRC, ole' Cleeter has come a long way in three years.
Mom: why don’t you play with the neighbors kids.
The neighbors kids:
I feel like they are serious and joking at the same time lol
They as am I are amazed at an electric turbo that works...they have been selling nonworking electric turbos for years

Only people with mullets can do that.
@@texarcana2002 cleetus has one mean mullet, its pushing about 6lbs. Of boost💪🏽🤘🏼

I am busting! Lol
I'M DYING OVER HERE LMAO!
Guys I’m smiling ear to ear on this vid. When I was a teenager I learned to drive stick on a Mazda MX-6 it was a 2.3L turbo and it Chirped into 3rd.. absolute animal this was 1999 baby
"hey, nerd." says the bunch of dudes in labcoats to a guy working on a truck. 🤣
"We usually fail. This feels weird." Nice one, Coop.
Exactly how I feel when something works smoothly, something's got to be wrong, I must not have done it right. Low self-esteem and confidence sucks!!! LOL
"how many pounds of boost you making?"
> "48 volts"
What a blast from the past. The origin story of Dr. Tune em all and George's future daily driver.
when the electric turbo cost more than the car.
😂 paid $2k for an 2008
Jack Moorhouse lolol true
They sould put it on a go cart
@@vincentborges5745 In before boosted boiz beats them to it
Haha, a lot of us have vastly more money into our motors than what the car is worth. Gotta pay to play.
When I was a kid in the 80's, I used to wonder if an electric leaf blower would work as a turbo. Crap used to keep me up at night. Thanks for the closure!
Well the Roadkill crew used gas powered leaf blowers, multiple, to get boost and make extra power. So electric would require an inverter for 12-120v and a lot of input power. But can be done
The guys over at MCM did it a few years back with a couple of ryobi leafblowers. they got like 2 hp out of it. The thing about leaf blowers is that they can move a large volume of air, but dont create a whole lot of pressure.
@@Pyrochazm the problem with mcm is that they used it on a carb engine and did no tuning whatsoever. I'm sure the best they did was make it run a little leaner. I know carbs still depend on air flow but still. No fine readings done on an old tired engine
you and i both brother. every time i use one i think turbo.
Blowing air into the intake is not the same as compressing air. It allows more air in the same space, blowing more air without compressing, does near nothing.
I had an ERAM electric turbo on my small engine car. (1.4 L). Although I never went to a Dyno , I had noticed that it had slightly better performance in middle range and worse on high range . A friend told me that I should regulate fuel to work correctly.... Anyway, the sound was wicked...!
That dynamics are insane
Box labeled "fragile"
Slams it on table

I hope u know normally they deal with 1000 horses
@@mannabatth4092 Leroy makes like 1500+. lol
This is the most satisfying thing I’ve watched in awhile lol
I'm making a 2018 challenger sxt street build. As much power as I can put down on the assphalt without spinning. Don't need a super street rod, that's asking for jail. But fun and fast :) so far: 2 things: weight reduction and power increase. Deleted passenger seat 60lbs, swapped driver seat for padded rci 70 lbs. spare tire tool and tray 50lbs, spoiler 10 lbs, muffler and res delete 60 lbs, added flowmaster super 10 and resonated tips. Sounds amazing. No drone :) growl. Like a teenager T. rex haha. But also have a pcm swapped 93 tuned Diablo sport upgrade, drop in knn filter. Next all I want to do is do an aluminum driveshaft swap?
Cleetus McFarland do you think this is safe and durable?
Also want to get one of these bad boys. 5 extra psi you can switch on trying to show off or do a pass is like a small shot of legal carry nitrous. Just for that extra length on someone. Get me to about 375 at about 3400 lbs. that's hemi power with 800 lbs out of the car. More than enough to show off with :)?
Cleetus McFarland would you recommend a fuel injector upgrade any? Or would 5 psi run just under lean? The Diablo sport tune makes me run 13.2-13.5afr. Would 5 psi from this put me over? If so would it be safe to upgrade my 285cc injectors to say 350cc? Trying to budget in a toy without breaking the bank lol. But enough to keep up with the hemis and stis in my town.
Just had an accident 2 days ago. A deer jumped through my open window of my challenger. Damaged my quarter needs replaced, dented door I need pulled, and hood needs straightened back. New side view mirror. The mirror from the deer flew in and gashed my face open 20 stitches, broken nose. Fractured eye socket, few loose teeth and fractured cheek. So now I I have to come up with a 1k deductible for insurance. Or order a new 150 panel, have it painted black, pull the dent, swap the mirror. A total of 400 for my work. Good as new. But whatever once I get this figured out. Back to build.
I want this turbo for an extra kick for gimmicks. No spare cash for a real supercharger haha. Plus 550 hp would surely cause me trouble haha.
Gearheads!
Funny how this bit started out as only a joke and now is turning into a "legit" testing bit lol
It's not a legit lab test because I didn't see one pair of crocs 😂😂😂🤦♂️
They need to get a white board and produce the numbers.
Audi irc sq7 have this type of turbocharger
Cleetus broke RUclips, they can’t handle a lot of small bald eagles...
Timmy G si it’s no me with the video issues?
Yeah it doesn’t play anymore. I got like 5 mins in
