This is my favorite video you've put out. The slower talking, extended explanations, video editing, layman terms, etc... makes your content so much easier to consume.
your older posts always intrigued me, but listing and watching this calmer, slow enough to digest it better, very explanative version of your work, has sold me. You seem to have entered a higher level of communicating and getting your point across. I love it. keep it up.
Scotty, What a great job you did on this video! The pace, graphics & animation, and just the right amount of information; all within 10 minutes. You have "tuned" yourself for maximum horsepower. Much appreciated!
Hey Scotty hope you and your family are well. I am just an old homeless veteran Living in my old 1998 Lexus es 300. It has 150,000 miles currently. I watch your videos all the time. They help keep my mind off my troubles. Take care.
I installed a tune on my 2007 5.7L Toyota engine at 281,000 miles, it runs smoother, makes more HP & TQ and the transmission shifts more precisely without hunting for gears. This was my first experience with tuning a computerized vehicle, and IMHO it was money well spent.
@Robert Slackware That be great long as you have the knowledge and skills to do everything right without damaging your vehicle somewhere down the line sooner or later? I for one don’t have that skill set or knowledge otherwise I would too!
You sir are how I have finally started to understand auto mechanic. I’ve had the itch for it my whole life, not till last year when I can across your channel did I finally step out into the world of auto mechanic. My son is only 2 and every time he gets my phone he pulls up one of your videos and just sits there listening and watching. Your awesome man thank you
So informative. My GF used to hate the sound of your voice but when she realized how much she and I are learning from listening to you, now she’s hooked. Keep up the good work and thank you.
I love the older cars. I had a newer mustang and explorer and they sucked to work on. I had a 79 Silverado with a 350 and you could climb into the engine compartment if you had to to get to something. Very basic and literally could fix anything on it myself for cheap. Now these cars are packed to the hood with crap and everything cost a fortune to replace
My father-in-law shared a funny story where a few years ago he had a newly qualified mechanic working on his car which has a carby. He asked the mechanic to increase the idle speed... and the mechanic shrugged as he does not know how to do this. I guess he is trained on all the modern engines but not on the fundamental designs of a classic engine.
It takes a much higher degree of intelligence to be an auto mechanic, engineer, computer, television electronics tech or circuit designer than it does to be a scientist or politician. Most can't even change a flat tire or work the remote on the TV :-)
Where in Bulgaria? Bulgaria is such a beautiful country. Would love to visit places like Plovdiv, the capital in Sofia as well as Stara Zagora and then off to the coast around Varna. I have even entertained the idea of moving to Bulgaria.
Thx. My car is from the 1980 and zero computer. Renault 5. I change the engine form 1300cc to 1400cc. From 33Kw to 44kW! Thx 4 the video Scotty Kilmer.
Man Scotty I've been following you for quite some time. I know you're a certified Master Mechanic and all, but I didn't think you'd be getting this technical with the engine processes. However you always make it easy to understand and follow along. I didn't know jack about fuel injectors before other than they cost me $500/more when they fail (on a 2013 C-Max TWICE!). But now I do thanks to you, great video! 👍🏻
Scotty, thank's for all your videos, you have made, I saved thousands of $ on repairs over the years, and also for which car to buy. You are the best, good wishes to you and your family.
it took years for Scotty to figure out how engines work . but for all his life he knew how to work on them . proud of you scotty keep learning. and keep on keeping on !
These videos always make the back in the day cars seem simple and cheap to operate. Back then ( say around late 60's) you tuned up your car every year, new spark plugs and new points. About $29 dollars which today is $240.00. Oil changes were every 3 months or 3000 miles and you would also get a lube job on your shocks, another $130 in today's dollars. Tires lasted about 20,000 miles at best. This was before radials were invented so another $100 for four or $825 in today dollars. Gas always seemed cheap, say 50 cents a gallon but that is over $4 today.
I think Scotty should be teaching and getting an educational series for schools and correspondence courses. I reckon he'd be fair about the prices too. Thanks Scotty. Well done 👍
Scotty, you are a legend. SO much information in a short video, not to mention you warn people not to just throw a cheap canned device on their car. Keep doing your thing!
Great Intro to Automotive Technology 101, Scotty. Anyone could learn from this video. It won't make them a mechanic but it will provide a basic understanding. Very well put together and presented even if we don't have the laughing animals and the junkyard..
Get a Ford MustangE 1,400 HP and laugh at all of the roaring, smoking antiques you leave in your RV viewer/mirrors. 100% peak torque from 0-180 mph or whatever.
Thank you Scotty ! This was a very comprehensive explanation. It'll make it easier for me to help my kid (new driver) understand what tuning an engine involves. Hopefully it will also deter him from spending money trying to tune our reliable 1999 Toyota Corolla affectionately known as Ms Daisy.
Said it before, gonna say it again.. Scotty, you should have been a teacher of mechanics.. your delivery and the way you present information is quite good!
The good old Carby days how it will be missed. I remember tuning tuning triple Webber carbs by ear while someone else was driving lol, Keep up the great content scotty your a bloody legend mate :)
My car has had a computer since 1973. She has a hard drive that remembers everything I ever did wrong and it is so advanced it knows things I did wrong even before I did it. But I love her, going on 48 years.
Scotty's is the best I've seen that communicating engineering solutions for laymen to understand...His terms make things easier to solve derive at our disposal available through keen observation as a gift bestowed from the most High🙏🧬 Blessings to You and Family Praise Him ❤️🙏🙏❤️
I don't normally find the need to leave a comment. But I've been watching your show for awhile, and this is honestly the most interesting and well put together videos you've ever done. I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort, but it shows and it's of excellent quality 💯
II have been a fan of Scotty for a long while. Very helpful information. I especially enjoy the added graphics in the windows to accent Scotty's commentary. Which is why I was surprised when he said the ignition of the fuel/air mixture causes an explosion. I'm sure he knows that explosions in the combustion chamber causes knocking and can wreck engines. The ignition of the mixture properly burns it and causes a rapid increase in pressure and temperature which pushes the piston away from the head. I wish to reiterate how much I enjoy Scotty's videos. Thanks
It sounds like you just described an explosion, lol. Explosion in the combustion chamber, during the combustion stroke, is the goal. Bad fuel, with not enough octane rating, exploding while a valve is still open (not during the recognized combustion stroke) causes the engine knock that will ruin the motor if the driver doesn't fix the problem causing it. Often, but not always, shelling out the extra ten to twenty cents per gallon for 89 or 91 octane gas instead of the cheapest, 87 octane fuel, solves the problem.
I really really really enjoy your new documentary format of videos. Super entertaining and super educational. I'm sure they are much more difficult, research-intensive, labor intensive and costly to do. In that regard, I hope your AdSense return is adequate to cover the additional expense of the new format. Please keep it up and thank you.

Robert Bosch died in 1942. CAN was developed by the company Robert Bosch GmbH in 1983. It was introduced to the public in 1986.
This was really well done. Simple and easy to understand. I assume you werent the one who did the graphics on the carb about the two screws that are adjusted? Obviously, those are not the mixture screws but simply the screws holding the butterfly plate on.
Have Hptuners, very powerful software, as a novice tuner, made incredible performance gains aswell fuel economy. Been working on a single tune for over a year, small instruments and adjustments learning what works. It's pretty well dialed in now. However to anyone looking to self tune, as Scotty said too much of a good thing or not enough of another can damage your engine and create huge problems.
Had a bad dream we lost you Mr.Kilmer , you've taught me so much. My dad is a transmission mechanic but has only worked transmissions. You've taught me about the other stuff. Thank you
Normaly, manual is the way to go. But if you are looking at a new GT, the Auto is amazing. I have had no issues and it is a dream to drive. The various modes are great. Normal mode shifts like butter and Sport plus is a monster. Drag Mode is a rocket. Snow/Wet even works like a champ to keep between the lines on a slick day. Yeah yeah sticks are for real men, blah blah. Driving in traffic sucks and missing a shift in a race sucks worse. Auto fixes all that and still is a blast, paddles or not.
I love Scotty, and there are some words of wisdom here... But listening to him talk about tuning the car via ECU or ECM makes him sound like an overly suspicious old-timer. Which he is! 😂 God bless ya Scotty Kilmer.
Car dealers are getting pretty wise to modified software in late model cars. When you bring your car to the dealer, the first thing the dealer checks is your car's computer programming. If it's not the factory software, your warranty may be null and void.
Yeah thats true phil haha wrong screws 🤣@sploofmonkey as a mechanic i like the plastic inlet manifolds compared to the alum ones due to heat retention doing oil pressure sensors, dizzy caps and such not scorching my forarms and fingers.
While the production quality of this video is pretty darn good as many others have pointed out, as someone who dyno tunes multiple vehicles per week I have a few corrections to point out regarding the information that you share at 0:55: - 14.7 is the stoichiometric ratio for pure gasoline (E10, which is what most everyone buys at the pump anymore is closer to 14.1). This is the exact air/fuel ratio (AFR) that provides the most complete combustion, meaning the best emissions. The further you get away from this number in either direction, the worse emissions are. - Better fuel economy can be had at leaner AFRs. Reducing AFRs down into the 15.5-17.5 range usually results in better fuel economy,at the price of higher NOx emissions. In fact, many factory vehicles have a lean cruise mode that the computer goes into for better fuel economy, however those parameters are all disabled on the US models as the EPA emissions standards cannot be met in lean cruise mode. - Richer AFRs, such as the 12:1 ratio that you mention, are NOT "better for maximum power". Leaner air fuel ratios (up to a certain point) actually tend to deliver MORE power, however this also increases the heat of the combustion event, which means that under heavy load (e.g. hard acceleration, towing a heavy trailer up a hill, etc.) you can literally melt down the internals of an engine which is obviously a very bad thing. In order to prevent this, richer AFRs are used under heavy loads to cool the combustion and protect the engine. Most gasoline vehicles run 11.0 - 11.7 from the factory while under load, which is much richer than they ideally would be. The manufacturers do this because they want to build in as much safe guard as possible against that combustion heat that we were just talking about. When a vehicle is tuned by the aftermarket, the high load conditions are typically leaned out into the range of 12.0 - 12:7. This results in better power AND better emissions, and is still rich enough to result in a combustion process that's safely cool enough for any normal real-world scenario. The biggest changes come when you begin messing with spark advance (i.e. ignition timing). You can generally increase spark advance quite significantly both at cruise and under high load and find more optimal settings than what the vehicle came with from the factory. Increasing it at high load to its peak point results in better power output while burning the same quantity of fuel, and increasing it at cruise results in less fuel burned in order to maintain the same speed. Honestly if you can find a competent (this is important here) tuner for your platform, I would recommend aftermarket tuning to anyone and everyone.
I bought a cheap OBD 327 from China. Plugged it into the port, pressed Start. All lights on the dash were randomly flashing. Pressed Start to start the engine. No change in the dash, but the engine was running. Pressed the button to stop the engine... did not work! The engine could not be stopped. Took out the 327, didn't help... It's a MT so stepped on the brake, put it in gear and released the clutch to stop the engine. Luckily everything was ok then, but I've learned something... Here tax on new cars is CO2 based. So you can buy a BMW 116 that has the same engine as a 118i, 120i, and it limited in torque at higher RPM. a simple tune gets you way more HP. An older 114i goes from 102 to 220HP...
Just recalling the days when you could advance the timing, mess with the distributor and port the carburetor install cut offs and oxygen injectors and zooooom off ! LOL
Scotty, I am concerned about the "odometer correction tools" that are becoming very affordable and sets up another way for second hand car buyer to be ripped off. Is there a device that you can buy to check if your car's odometer has been monkeyed with? Something a DIYer can afford. Thanks.
a pair of eyes , look at wear on pedals, door handle, and steering wheel is the wear and mucky finger marks consistent with the milage ?was going to say gearstick too but you yanks cant drive manual
OUTLAWED UK I’d love a manual in anything I own but you almost can’t buy them new here anymore... and those that are left are small cars. 👎🏻 My family is too big for a sports car. Even many of the semi trucks here now are auto. 👎🏻 People here just cant be bothered to drive while driving. When you have the visor flipped down to apply makeup plus your burger in one hand, drink in the other, cell phone wedged against your ear shifting is the most logical thing to take out of the equation right?
@@outlaweduk- First car a ’60 MGA 1600. 4 on the hump. Later Citroën DS21, DSpécial 4 on the column, ID21F 4 on the column, ID21FH, ID19 4 on the column, Panhard PL17 4 on the column, SM 5 on the console, SM 5. Do these qualify as manual? Current Nissan Leaf 0.
No explosion in gasoline fueled internal combustion engines. The fuel/air mix is compressed in a sealed cylinder and ignited with an electric arc via a spark plug. The ignited air/fuel mix burns rapidly and expands in the cylinder forcing the piston to move downward. Gasoline is flammable not explosive.
Hey Scotty, I have a 2018 Infinity 3.0 with duel Turbos. Although she runs good, I was wondering what's the best and cheapest way to make her even faster. Me and my son have a rivalry, lol He has a 370 Nissan. He wants to race me for bragging rights, but I'm putting him off until I can get your know how on this. Thank you Sir... RJ
Hey Scotty, I've always enjoyed your videos but this was even better.... would love to see you do like a series of them about all the different systems...and then some for older school muscle cars and the newer tuner ones....I've got an 89 mustang GT that I put a Holley sniper system on so I am able to see and adjust almost everything...I'm a noob in this area and am still learning and my favorite part was the fuel ratio stuff... thanks for continuing to pass on knowledge. 👍

So I'm still waiting to see what's illegal about changing a fuse..
Me too
ditto
If the fuse is for the lockup torque converter clutch, maybe? California is very picky about anything that can affect emissions and mileage.
Looking for the forbidden fuse....
Right around 8:35 he talks about some tunes being illegal , probably against safety and emission regulations set by certain states

I'm sure they are much more difficult, research-intensive, labor intensive and costly to do. In that regard, I hope your AdSense return is adequate to cover the additional expense of the new format. Please keep it up and thank you.
Robert Bosch died in 1942. CAN was developed by the company Robert Bosch GmbH in 1983. It was introduced to the public in 1986.
Where is the illegal car mod? Not in this video thats for sure...
Hey Scot 😉 Are you a fan of remapping ?
Already watched in Hungary! Greetings Scotty! 🇭🇺✌🏻
hello!
Already watched in South Africa.
I'm still waiting for the illegal car mod that changed the game.
Next video in 12 years
This was really well done. Simple and easy to understand. I assume you werent the one who did the graphics on the carb about the two screws that are adjusted? Obviously, those are not the mixture screws but simply the screws holding the butterfly plate on.
Could that be the fault of a bad relay?
Duh - and you can't 'TUNE' an engine using the carb....ferchrissakes
@@stonward but can you tuna fish? 🐟🤪
Apologies for being so grumpy - it was a good vid - but getting piddled off with false descriptions! :-)
@@stonward modifying fuel delivery is tuning in my country
MR. Kilmer! What I like about your current video representation is that it is as instructional as it is informative. Thank you!
Scotty your awesome man. Thank you for giving us free honest knowledge of vehicles. You should be a college professor teaching
Have Hptuners, very powerful software, as a novice tuner, made incredible performance gains aswell fuel economy. Been working on a single tune for over a year, small instruments and adjustments learning what works. It's pretty well dialed in now. However to anyone looking to self tune, as Scotty said too much of a good thing or not enough of another can damage your engine and create huge problems.
Very well explained and detailed description of tuning. Visuals are great and how you simplified it all! Love it brother
It’s really easy to change the valve lash on the first gen vk56 you can do it by turning a screw on top the valve cover
Had a bad dream we lost you Mr.Kilmer , you've taught me so much. My dad is a transmission mechanic but has only worked transmissions. You've taught me about the other stuff. Thank you
Hey Scotty, I've always wanted a Mustang GT. Should I get an automatic or manual? Which is more reliable? Thanks from West Texas!
DUDE! If you ask that question this must be first Scotty video EVER that you watched
manual is usually more reliable but there's been problems with mustang manuals, I'd still go with a manual though
@@scottykilmer thanks for the reply Scotty. I remembered you mentioning that class action lawsuit against the manual and wanted to be sure 👍
Normaly, manual is the way to go. But if you are looking at a new GT, the Auto is amazing. I have had no issues and it is a dream to drive. The various modes are great. Normal mode shifts like butter and Sport plus is a monster. Drag Mode is a rocket. Snow/Wet even works like a champ to keep between the lines on a slick day. Yeah yeah sticks are for real men, blah blah. Driving in traffic sucks and missing a shift in a race sucks worse. Auto fixes all that and still is a blast, paddles or not.
The 6r80 can be built bullet proof the MT82 sucks
An entire semester of high school autoshop in one, tidy video ... REV UP YOUR ENGINE !!! Well done ... thanks, Scotty!!!
I love Scotty, and there are some words of wisdom here... But listening to him talk about tuning the car via ECU or ECM makes him sound like an overly suspicious old-timer.
Which he is! 😂
God bless ya Scotty Kilmer.
I absolutely love your new video formats. So informative and well produced. Thanks!
Car dealers are getting pretty wise to modified software in late model cars. When you bring your car to the dealer, the first thing the dealer checks is your car's computer programming. If it's not the factory software, your warranty may be null and void.
That's why I always buy older stuff without warranties
Runs like a clock, shifts like a dream and stops on a dime
Stops on a dime and gives ya nine cents change ;)

@@Mdudeman13 Sorry sir, exact change only its 2020
1:21 Anyone else have trouble watching the animation highlight the wrong part of the carburettor?
Yeah, I wasn't sure how messing with the screws on the choke plate was going to improve anything.
this is a test for us old fartzz 👴
Yeah thats true phil haha wrong screws 🤣@sploofmonkey as a mechanic i like the plastic inlet manifolds compared to the alum ones due to heat retention doing oil pressure sensors, dizzy caps and such not scorching my forarms and fingers.
It was almost physically painful to watch.
@@stuff4salefromkraigzlist281 For everybody really haha. Throttle body plates have the same screws
LOVED THE VIDEO TUTORIAL!! It was informative yet simple to understand (not overwhelming). Thank You!
I have 13' Honda Accord coupe 3.5L. I am still impressed with the power and fuel efficiency. Best car ever owned!
Go Scotty ! Always explanations in layman's terms for us dummies to understand. Bravo
While the production quality of this video is pretty darn good as many others have pointed out, as someone who dyno tunes multiple vehicles per week I have a few corrections to point out regarding the information that you share at 0:55:
- 14.7 is the stoichiometric ratio for pure gasoline (E10, which is what most everyone buys at the pump anymore is closer to 14.1). This is the exact air/fuel ratio (AFR) that provides the most complete combustion, meaning the best emissions. The further you get away from this number in either direction, the worse emissions are.
- Better fuel economy can be had at leaner AFRs. Reducing AFRs down into the 15.5-17.5 range usually results in better fuel economy,at the price of higher NOx emissions. In fact, many factory vehicles have a lean cruise mode that the computer goes into for better fuel economy, however those parameters are all disabled on the US models as the EPA emissions standards cannot be met in lean cruise mode.
- Richer AFRs, such as the 12:1 ratio that you mention, are NOT "better for maximum power". Leaner air fuel ratios (up to a certain point) actually tend to deliver MORE power, however this also increases the heat of the combustion event, which means that under heavy load (e.g. hard acceleration, towing a heavy trailer up a hill, etc.) you can literally melt down the internals of an engine which is obviously a very bad thing. In order to prevent this, richer AFRs are used under heavy loads to cool the combustion and protect the engine.
Most gasoline vehicles run 11.0 - 11.7 from the factory while under load, which is much richer than they ideally would be. The manufacturers do this because they want to build in as much safe guard as possible against that combustion heat that we were just talking about. When a vehicle is tuned by the aftermarket, the high load conditions are typically leaned out into the range of 12.0 - 12:7. This results in better power AND better emissions, and is still rich enough to result in a combustion process that's safely cool enough for any normal real-world scenario.
The biggest changes come when you begin messing with spark advance (i.e. ignition timing). You can generally increase spark advance quite significantly both at cruise and under high load and find more optimal settings than what the vehicle came with from the factory. Increasing it at high load to its peak point results in better power output while burning the same quantity of fuel, and increasing it at cruise results in less fuel burned in order to maintain the same speed.
Honestly if you can find a competent (this is important here) tuner for your platform, I would recommend aftermarket tuning to anyone and everyone.
I enjoyed that Scotty very informative. Keep up this new channel great
I bought a cheap OBD 327 from China.
Plugged it into the port, pressed Start. All lights on the dash were randomly flashing. Pressed Start to start the engine. No change in the dash, but the engine was running.
Pressed the button to stop the engine... did not work! The engine could not be stopped. Took out the 327, didn't help...
It's a MT so stepped on the brake, put it in gear and released the clutch to stop the engine.
Luckily everything was ok then, but I've learned something...
Here tax on new cars is CO2 based. So you can buy a BMW 116 that has the same engine as a 118i, 120i, and it limited in torque at higher RPM. a simple tune gets you way more HP.
An older 114i goes from 102 to 220HP...
Your videos are so good. Thank you for your dedication and kindness. Your one of a kind .
I FEEL YOU ,BROTHER !!! NOTHING NICER THAN THEM "OLD 350,s, ETC!¡!!" 👍
This is by far the best example of what u have to offer as an educator. It seemed to come natural & it's nice not hearing a computer!
My grandfather was a millwright at Bendix in Mishawaka, Indiana. Worked there for 40 years. He solved a lot of problems for them.
And my cat shits in a box. Who cares.
Just recalling the days when you could advance the timing, mess with the distributor and port the carburetor install cut offs and oxygen injectors and zooooom off ! LOL
That stuff is already done for you nowdays so you need to be more creative
scotty your new style of video is great! i learnt so much from your videos and you inspired me to do mechanics. thank you
Scotty, I am concerned about the "odometer correction tools" that are becoming very affordable and sets up another way for second hand car buyer to be ripped off. Is there a device that you can buy to check if your car's odometer has been monkeyed with? Something a DIYer can afford. Thanks.
a pair of eyes , look at wear on pedals, door handle, and steering wheel is the wear and mucky finger marks consistent with the milage ?was going to say gearstick too but you yanks cant drive manual
@@outlaweduk Yes we can lol
@@outlaweduk They are going extinct. After all if one hand is on the wheel and one is shifting how can they hold their phones ?
OUTLAWED UK I’d love a manual in anything I own but you almost can’t buy them new here anymore... and those that are left are small cars. 👎🏻 My family is too big for a sports car. Even many of the semi trucks here now are auto. 👎🏻 People here just cant be bothered to drive while driving. When you have the visor flipped down to apply makeup plus your burger in one hand, drink in the other, cell phone wedged against your ear shifting is the most logical thing to take out of the equation right?
@@outlaweduk- First car a ’60 MGA 1600. 4 on the hump. Later Citroën DS21, DSpécial 4 on the column, ID21F 4 on the column, ID21FH, ID19 4 on the column, Panhard PL17 4 on the column, SM 5 on the console, SM 5. Do these qualify as manual?
Current Nissan Leaf 0.
wowsa moving up in video production, watched the whole thing and now really get an idea how stuff works, cheers from spring branch
I became suspicious to my ISP for watching too many "illegal" videos by Scotty :D
No explosion in gasoline fueled internal combustion engines. The fuel/air mix is compressed in a sealed cylinder and ignited with an electric arc via a spark plug. The ignited air/fuel mix burns rapidly and expands in the cylinder forcing the piston to move downward. Gasoline is flammable not explosive.
Thank you very much for being a young mechanic inspite of being old by age
Hey Scotty, I have a 2018 Infinity 3.0 with duel Turbos. Although she runs good, I was wondering what's the best and cheapest way to make her even faster. Me and my son have a rivalry, lol He has a 370 Nissan. He wants to race me for bragging rights, but I'm putting him off until I can get your know how on this. Thank you Sir... RJ
Scotty, This video was amazing! First class and very informative. Thanks for posting
Which car is better for OFF ROAD,2020 wrangler rubicon jeep or the 2021 ford bronco?
Hey Scotty, I've always enjoyed your videos but this was even better.... would love to see you do like a series of them about all the different systems...and then some for older school muscle cars and the newer tuner ones....I've got an 89 mustang GT that I put a Holley sniper system on so I am able to see and adjust almost everything...I'm a noob in this area and am still learning and my favorite part was the fuel ratio stuff... thanks for continuing to pass on knowledge. 👍
GREAT SCOTT ! Scottydoodleydo !! Great vid bud
