I'm 11 minutes in and thoroughly entertained. Unlike most /o/ videos he isn't just reading a wikipedia article about some car.
This machine? Hilarious.
I feel like it's going to take a cynical turn at some point and he's going to lay the smackdown on the idea.

why is this content so popular among pretengineers?

It truly and thoroughly is a mystery.

Has no idea what engineering is.

Is this the same guy that explains rod to stroke ratios?

>>29036782
you'd be surprised how many engineers are just brainless npcs with no passion
>>
>>29036806
I've been surrounded by engineers my whole adult life, I know them.
The same could be said of any profession. But in engineering there are more passionate people - you're solving problems, sometimes by testing and experimentation. It's going to excite more people than programming software for a dentist's office, planning out POGs for grocery stores, or going over a bunch of financial bs all day.

Yeah. He's a cool guy who clearly explains stage 2 automotive knowledge in video form. Meanwhile

>>29036780 want to punch down on someone capable of creating something, because they can't. Not everyone has creativity or natural talent, sadly.

I work in the industry and have pretty good knowledge of automotive engineering and I was shocked to find out he was a lawyer or something else completely separate from automotive before starting the channel. His level of knowledge is legitimately impressive especially for a casual. Engineering Explained on the other hand is surprisingly ignorant for a supposed engineer.

That sure looks like an engine to me

Yeah he's that dunning kruger retard who has no innate mechanical knowledge but thinks he does because he read some books in college.

My favourite rage bait was when he did a comparison video on the 2JZ vs RB26 (paper comparison because he's never owned either) and said the 2JZ was a worse engine because it's heavier. Even though the debate has already been settled and anyone who competes with an import at high level in drag or drift agrees that the 2JZ is a far superior engine, and it doesn't actually weigh more that's just a myth from retards who think there must be reason the RB blocks are so weak.

Pneumatic reservoir.

>comparison video on the 2JZ vs RB26
I'm not going to give another view so I'm not going to watch that. But did you consider that he might not have been viewing it in the context of "which engine, when modded the piss out of, will produce the most power reliably?"
>>
>>29036880
Oh you mean a compressed air engine?
>>
>>29036885
bold of you to assume that the RB26 would be considered better under ANY context, but he was looking at it from a motorsports POV spouting retardation about the RB26 being lighter while being too stupid to realise that the reason the 2JZ wasn't used in GT500 is because the class is limited to 500hp.
>>
>>29036888
>the reason the 2JZ wasn't used in GT500 is because the class is limited to 500hp.
Are you saying 2JZs can't make less than 500 hp? Are you saying that the 2JZ is only advantageous when you double the power over stock?
It sounds like it.
>>
>>29036890
I'm saying you wouldn't use a sledge hammer to drive in a tack, but that doesn't mean a sledge hammer isn't a useful tool.
If you already have a 4 cylinder motorsports engine that can easily produce over 500hp reliably and you've already been developing it for a decade in WRC, why would you use anything else?
>>
>>29036753
whys this guy such a unbearable faggot?
>>
>>29039939
Because he is over educated while having no innate mechanical knowledge or experience which leads him to confidently parrot the information given to him by others, which he sometimes misunderstands and misconveys.
>>
>>29040065
No idea why you're spouting this stuff when in fact he and his friend did rebuild the 4AGE in his old AW11 and a bunch of other stuff on the car. He also put R1 carbs on that bitch + turbo'd a 4AFE with no prior mechanical knowledge. He aint no pro, but to claim he has no knowledge is bollocks.
t. met him irl and he gifted me some 4age parts
>>
>>29040281
He's just mad he could barely pass algebra 2 to get his diploma and has a big ego so "everyone else is dunning-kruger!!1! Everyone is stupid but me! Engineers are all faking idiots." And he says this, surrounded by technology that other humans built for him. Not worth, let him be an idiot.
>>
>>29040307
Nta, Isn't Algebra a Spanish band.
When did you last pull out a book of logarithmic tables.
1982.
