John ‘Juice’ Shipper This is a great idea, I second this!
Great idea!
John ‘Juice’ Shipper yes please donut
Yes......Dilly, Dilly!!
There's enough videos of ballers in lambos and ferraris on the internet dude...
Put an SS badge on my 4 cyl malibu. Added 2 more cylinders.
So Secondary Sylinder?
You sure it isn't just a Chevy SS now, they look the same basically.
Seems like one of the S’s in the badge is bad, get a new SS badge. It should add 4 more cylinders not 2
my grandpa had an ss badge
I'll try adding an SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS badge, will upload news if not dead.
Had it stolen. The car was much lighter when I got it back.
MaxBrix 😂😂
A real story to my motorcycle
Thats because they stripped the entire interior
FREE WIEGHT REDUCTION
bet it sounded louder too
I tinted my windows and I felt a 52.7 hp gain
I think you mean temp drop
Streamlined
That’s funny what % I did 15 up front 5 in the back and gained 42.3 buff horses..
I got lighter windshield wipers... gained 1 hersper...
Take your key out of the car and throw that extra weight out, it will only slow you down
The Tez Man windshield wiper delete way to go
Walk next to your car to save weight.
Pull the tape out of those 80's cassettes for the civic, while still rocking a full tape holder of van halen to impress the chicks. 6HP atleast yo.
Remove ur door next
i took the SE badge off my ford focus and put on a RS badge. added about 60hp
Fake M badge adds +12 speeds to bmw 320d
That focus “RS” could have like 500hp just add a supreme sticker
Add a superturbocharged sticker and a fake hood scoop and you'll scare everyone away from racing you!
Nah nigga putting a GT/5.0 badge on a mustang v6
trx 450r added a GT-R badge to my Nissan Sentra gained like 100 HP
Best car mod: MAINTENANCE.
maintenance is not a mod. it's maintenance
paul anthony bulao true, it’s obviously a joke. My point it that so many people focus on mods and then don’t even change the engine oil or spark plugs on time - or use cheap crappy engine oil or drive around in under inflated tyres, a dirty MAF sensor or a clogged air filter...
Matt Bailey haha I cannot say I was a young mechanic in the sixties, but I was in the early 2000.
It really dose go a long ways
what's maintenance?
named my car, instant 37.5 HP gains,
What you name it?
pegazus
Did you know, naming you whip "Lightning" gives it at least 50hp 😀
I named mine the cocaine train.
@@baggedjt with "McQueen"
I removed the radiator for weight reduction, not a good idea...
It you only run 30 sec at a time... There's 40lbs off the front 💥
I removed my engine to save weight also did not go well
Thats a pretty hot mod
didnt u learn anything from the video
most effective weight savings is unsprung weight reduction
otherwise it's pretty hot tho
How your car will cool down lol
I like how this video was more driver oriented in a sense. I'll have fun with my tiny horsepower and sticky icky tires. Also all these guys commenting how stickers make more horsepower, smh, you have to get a dyno tune to get the most out of your stickers.
They discussed that in the replies
Wrong flag
Im not sure anyone flagged the comments
Rule of thumb, horsepower is the last thing you should upgrade. By far the biggest improvement in fun and laptimes come from handling upgrades. Especially tires and suspension, in the case of laptimes sometimes wings/Spoilers/splitters.
This is a bit tricky but removing weight also helps. Significant weight reductions however can be pricy and remove safety/comfort features. But for a track car they make sense.
First kick everything out u don't need, then lower the car, then get widened steel rims and nice sticky wheels,then upgrade the brakes and your diff... You'll see for yourself that after these changes, horsepower isn't key for fun 😅
5:58 - 6:08 I gave my girlfriend this exact same speech when we started dating.
I wasn't talking about cars though.
The reason I went into the comment section was to see if anyone else picked up on this😂.
Next level quality comedy
This is golden
I have a tiny horsepower : (
Truer words haven't been spoken😂
Suspension and brakes were my favorite mods so far. Adds much more confidence in my car's abilities at any speed
Even a turbo for 30% more go-juice?
i found that the biggest bang(performance factor) for buck upgrades are, tires, brake pads, anti roll bars,suspension (handling). Weight reduction, Final drive upgrade, exhaust (power). couple these with good engine oil, spark plugs. get used to how the car feels now first. After some time, progress into horsepower enhancement, with intake upgrades, engine upgrades, a tune with an ECU. But TAKE THINGS SLOW, as once u give your car in for tuning, there will be some new headaches.. which u may not want. because with the cost of secondary mods, you may end up ruining the car, with a hole in your pocket! So enjoy being a car enthusiast! but control the expense!
The Donut Media Channel is just getting better and better. keep up the incredible work guys.
Thanks dude!
Couldn't be more wrong here pal. here's the real list.
1. cold air intake
2. NOS
3. turbo
4. a need for speed
5. a fast and furious driver
6. stickers

😂😂😂😂😂☝️😂😂😂😂
Real tuners install PVC pipe from their A/C Unit directly into the air intake
@@dirtymoneybuilds7976 fuck yeah, you may be having a heat stroke, but you'll feel that 3hp gain.
Matthew Mangiaracina whole engine rebuild to handle that
"cold air intakes are a waste of money"
teenagers with civics: TRIGGERED
They be all over the place shouting "REEEEEEEEE"
If you get the right one and combine it with a tune, they are not a waste.
I feel attacked smhhhhh lol
@@cmdrdredd what do you mean "right one" every cai is the same... just a cone filter and a tube
@@josiahdavid7333 CAI have a lot of variety to them. You must have the right length, diameter of tube, profile of cone etc. to make it work. It is almost impossible to calculate at home and proper ones are done by more serious parts manufacturers and professional tuner shops. There is simple rule to CAI: universal models and cheap ones without tubing suck.
You forgot stickers and those pine tree air freshners

Engine mods
1. Swapped cast iron pistons ----> forged iron.
2. Swapped "I" beam connecting rods ----> performance "H" beam.
3. Swapped Overhead cams to high lift and changed my lifters to performance lifters
4. Ported both intake and exhaust headers.
5. Change exhaust manifold to ----> exhaust headers then wrapped with head-shield material.
6. Upgraded to a performance catalyst convert (High flow) and muffler.
7. Increased exhaust pipe diameter to 3.5 inches.
8. Precision Turbo 6262 Turbocharger kit to upgrade from N/A to ---> a Turbocharged engine.
9. Add a custom programmable ECU and map it.
10. performance clutch kit stage 3.
The rest i.e suspension, tires and brakes is included in this video.
The result, for VW Passat b5.5 2.0 N/A: a Jump from 115 Hp to ----> 569 Hp to the wheel. @ max safe boost which is 22 psi.
I though is might help someone, somewhere
How many times the price of the car?
If you really did this, you are living my dream ;)
@@Haplo59 I didn't do these mods in one blow, I have a job but I am not rich,
rather I took it slowly over the course of time. First the engine was prepped for
turbo upgrade 1 to 4 on the list (took 6 months) Eating a way some of my salary.
The turbo kit and installations (another 8 months) and so on. Add to that, I am a good
DIY mechanic, so that saves a lot.
The car has sentimental value to me, so it didn't really mater how much money
I through into it.
Dude, that sounds so cool man!
You were helping others, so I shall help you with your typo. If those pistons are iron, the fact that it runs is a miracle 😂 aluminum man, not iron.
@@dabigdrummer Thanks for the correction and it was a typo error. It is a 2618 Alloy (93.7% Aluminum, and the rest : Copper, Magnesium, Iron [1.1%], and Nickel)
My best mod was this turbo I brought off eBay that went in my exhaust
Don’t forget stickers and red brake calipers
Did you mention stickers?
Those are too OP tho...
[ZF]L3ngnd27 it's been patched
SomeDude 2873 thank god! That was really ruining the experience that the devs originally intended
What about rain guards?
That’s where I put my money!
I took off the engine for weight reduction and got plus 420 hersper
Is that down hill
Christian Ruiz heck, I removed the entire car, +infinity hrsprs
Added an STI badge on my wrx, + 1000horsepower

How much horsepower does a sticker make ???
Rusty Zipper 5 to 10

6:20 I swear I thought the kid drove that e36 into the wall hahahaha
Well, he was blinded by tire smoke....
It was the Mondeo from Top Gear I think
Same
If you are going to mod your engine. Start with the ECU. Put in a tune able ECU with preformance read outs. That way when you want to slap on new intake manifolds and turbos you can adjust how the engine runs making the car run reliably with mods and getting the most out of your mods.
Rear swaybar and end links on any Subaru I've owned has been one of the best bang for the buck parts.
thats true for a lot of fwd and awd cars
What are end links?
@@garrettmacmillan8276 they basically connect the sway bars to the rest of your suspension. King of like a joint on your body.
@@Smack_2
Not necessarily.
The Subaru he mentioned already has front and rear sways.
And they... like most sway bars from the factory, ARE SET UP TO BE UNDERSTEER BIASED.
Let me repeat myself just in case you heard wrong
The car is set up to understeer with the factory sway bars and alignment. Ie: unbalanced. Intentionally. By the people that designed the thing.
commonly - they put a fat front sway on a car and run a smaller rear.
So it is with WRXs and STIs
By JUST replacing the rear bar and end links with something stiffer than stock you pretty much transform the handling bias of the car.
You go from understeering pig to neutral or mild oversteer. Futher refinements can be had by doing a performance alignment.
It is one of the best bang for buck handling mods one can do to a WRX or STI.
Stiffer rear sway, with top quality end links.
The Front sway is fine (maybe do the end links, just because) unless you are a track rat...
But rear stock sway is a damn noodle on most generations of wrx/sti
@@stinkyfungus what about an 05 legacy wagon?
velcro on the gas pedal did it for me, super fast now
What an awesome review on mods guys! Honest, clear and very informative stuff, your presentation had me glued to the screen till the very end! Keep these reviews coming.
Pumphrey got roasted 😂😂
Don't forget exhaust, if it sounds like farts, you know you have a fast car .
old worm and everyone around knows as well😂
old worm 😂😂😂😂
You made my day 😂
makes that little glubbity glubbity sound ya know?
honda aye?
I put bicycle tires on my car for weight reduction. Worked... Great
best mod out there for sure. If u feelin extra fast you can do a seatbelt reduction...trust me mate...insane weight reduction
Great recommendations. I put in oil cooler and transmission cooler for my VW 1.8t and 01m trans. Keeps the cars consistently cool and responsive even while charging up a hill.
Upgraded the rear sway bar from 18mm to 26mm, made a huge difference in feel and general responsiveness
Best handling mod I did for my S13...
Bought a Miata.
The Italian Tune-Up Pro best car ever made
Nice lol
The Italian Tune-Up Pro lol yeah
I LOVE MIATAS!!!!!!!
David Brambila me too
“Wheels to make my Prius faster”- this destroyed me LMAO
“It’s all about how you use that horsepower rather than how big your horsepower is.” Been telling girls this for years!
My favorite mod has been my $14 exhaust tip from autozone
Brennan Zoerb what was the tip?
Curly-fries-3 I think they meant a cover for the tip of the pipe. Like to make it look shiny
Mine was my steering wheel cover, so much better handling
i filled my wheels with helium so much faster
I got a $24 from supercheap auto
The best performance mod is a Donut Media sticker on my GTR in Need For Speed Payback😏👌
There is one wow :)
Devin Pinder '-'
[ Insert Name Here ] been there done that

Man u suck. Proudly saying 'i play nfs payback': the worst game in recent history
What's your favorite suspension
"I dont have have one because no one sponsored this video."

Best advice I've seen for a long time - straight up to the point !!
5:56 Im not sure we are talking horsepower anymore. I think we talkin d i c c
nah im pretty sure its *h o r s e d i c c*
🤣🤣🤣
I modded my ford escort by removing the radio. Weight reduction bruh
I like how honest and truthful this video is.
Bolted my cold air intake on my turbo sounds amazing couldn't be happier with the sound. Plus added 11 hp without a tune.
Best mod for me has been racing driving school. Mod the driver, then the car.
Sounds like you need to go back
Lsd and lightweight flywheel, prepare for your car to surprise you.
I was looking everywhere for a comment like this.
Lynn Mckenney
Add on an ignition as well get ready
Lightened flywheels suck on the street
B18BC5 absolute wank to drive on low rpms tho
B18BC5 I don’t like em for the street they’re great on like a road course but in traffic they’re not so good. Maybe a little lighter but I drove a car that was a super light flywheel and you had to rev it way out to start or else you would stall out. Now I’m used to trucks so I guess you get used to 3500 rpm starts but I much prefer 1000 rpm starts in my truck for daily traffic
i have to say you guys are awesome. i am and automotive tech/collector and love all your videos so far. i own a 91mr2 turbo, 2001 S4 , 2008 S8 , 2005 subaru forester XT, and many more but you made me realize the jewels i have in my collection!
All the mods here are certainly great. I guess I'd add a tune and freer flowing up/downpipes for the turbo folk, but not before adding the previously mentioned better brakes.
For turbo car. Bigger intake + catless downpipe + custom tune
*Making a prius fast?*
I'm stoned Paint it red and give it the ol' lightning sticker
+30 BHP
There's a dude in Columbus tuning one. It makes us laugh.
the legends say that it's actually possible
HAYABUSA SWAP.
Kerchooo
This video really helped with all the mod questions that i had for my car
I'm surprised that sway bars were not on your list. That has to be one of the most effective suspension part to upgrade, decrease body roll is very noticeable
Coilovers, 8.25x17s, slotted rotors w/ yellow stuff, Hotchkiss sway bars, and waiting on my tmw short shifter. All on my daily 07 Scion tC. It feels like a go-kart now.
ThatGodDamnPotato that sounds like pure fun.
Maikol Rodriquez I'm mulling over getting rid of the full glass roof, and dropping a couple of 100 lbs.
ThatGodDamnPotato
TRD parts work better than any other brand. Trust me - I have a few decades of modding Toyotas in my experience- I’ve made all the mistakes
I had the Hotchkis bars on my 09 xb too. The BEST mods I did to that car were a fidanza lightweight flywheel (REALLY woke the engine up) and a quaife lsd. That thing was a different car on the back roads after that.

One of the cars that finished in the front pack of the 1st Texas Ralley was a 1st gen xB - kept up in the twisties with Celica GT4, MR2s and AE86s.

Andrew Castro I thınk you should drive audi quattro in snow. Snow is fun with quattro 😉
This video is so well put together, and its entertaining
Yo Mr. Donut ... excellent video! I like how you prefaced everything you said along with a good dose of common sense on why the order. Nicely done, campy, but effective video clips for light moments when needed. Thourouly enjoyed your confident demeanor and dry sense of humor ... you are very watchable. Thanks for the info and entertainment. Consider me a new sub , Cheers, Dave
I give u props
a video that took some work to put together.
Loved it !
Most of the time you can drastically improve your suspension by simply installing new shocks and struts. The factory shocks are only good for about 20-30k i've seen many cars beyond 100k that still have the factory shocks on them
Changed my front ones, was gonna do the back but decided to wait until coil overs the real surefire upgrades to do. Tires, shocks and struts, brakes rotors , cv axles, tie rod ends etc. Take care of the little stuff and you'll feel a major difference
I like function Form Type2 coilovers, love the adjustment options they give you, not super high price, and the red and black color scheme looks dope.
Okay, so I've been watching videos on performance vehicles for many many years and have never commented on any of them. This guy had the most useful information on the fundamentals I've ever heard. I have a 96 Trans Am with 1000 mods. Some of which were done before me most of which I did. So I thought I knew it all. This video this video closed a lot of gaps for me
You're all wrong. Stickers don't do poop. Color does. I painted my car red. Now it can fly to the Mars. Why didn't Elon just paint his rockets?
kendall chung - what about a wrap, it’s kinda like paint and really a giant sticker. Then what if you put more stickers on the wrap???
ricer ricer ricer ricer ricer
Rusty Zipper You my friend must be from the future, that kind of knowledge will have a less skilled driver killed!!! Those HP numbers would be astronomical
Yes! People need to learn their cars first before they have an overbuild that they don't know how to drive. I started stock, to springs, and now full suspension work. The difference was day and night with how I learned. It's like how Piccolo or Rocklee from DBZ and Naruto removed the weights in their fights.
Wildchild_inc nice dbz reference
I didn't know another way to compare it to haha
I drilled loads of tiny holes in my pistons for extra weight reduction and to help the piston move faster, il let you know how it goes when it wants to run.
Best mod I've done is going for a set of Enkei EDR9 performance rims. They were about 1.5lbs lighter than the stock rims and they looked hella good at the same time
Dope Video!
You forgot the 2jz swap
Nah its gotta be ls6 swap, fam.
um no
@@daniellau5859
Daniel Lau 😂 the engine depends on the person
WE FOUND THE 12 YEAR OLD
Oh yea
Best mod I’ve done to my $2k Porsche 944 so far is reworking the ignition system. New spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, coil, etc. Amazing how much of a power difference actually running on all four cylinders makes.
This was reeeeaaallllly useful and excellent
Best mod for my Datsun 240z was probably the high compression V8 I stuffed into it.
I love that he used the yaris for the example of low HP, high skill. Im literally watching to get ideas on how to build up a beater yaris into something fun.
the cars competing in the wrc, so the gold goddamn standard for rally cars, are little shits like the yaris and the fiesta at like 350hp and theres people out there like "nah i cant respect your build til its 500hp"
Good coverage and well explained!
I love your videos watch them constantly for tips on what to do what not to do I had recently installed a k&n cold air intake kit yes a kit not just a goddamn filter if properly done including the proper and heat shield installation making sure that the heat from the engine bay is not being sucked through the air intake they are actually a good item improve gas mileage sounds good and oh yeah slight improvement on the instant acceleration of torque on stop to go and also there's many other videos out there proven that cold air intakes are actually better than your factory intake box sorry but millions of video versus one man saying they are a waste of money no personal preference in my opinion thank you your videos are awesome appreciate them love your videos
Excellent video, I swear I give this advice almost every week. Now I just have a link to send.
Glad we could help!
I replaced the original fuel filter on my 1981 Honda Civic with one that wasn't absolutely disgusting and filled with nasty stuff from over the years and I felt a tremendous increase in acceleration and also saw my mpg go up as well. New CV joints helped the little car turn much better too. New tie rods and brake discs made it not feel like you were gonna die when I braked. New tires that weren't from the early 90s and dry rotted made my car handle better and feel faster and safer although they are too wide but they were the only 13 inch tires I could find at the time. I had all the fluids flushed out and replaced with new fluids like the 3rd day I had the car. New engine mount also. I recently re-adjusted the accelerator cable because I had a good inch and a half of play before it even gave the car gas but now it feels much better. Basically I've just done maintenance that the past owners haven't and I am not engine swapping it or lowering it like other people want me to do for some reason.
Definitely shock/suspension has been the best mod I don’t track my car too much but having the adjustable shocks helps a lot from switching between settings for street to track
I buy 2 cans of energy drink nos everyday. One for me and one for my gas tank. Been getting about an extra 30 hp lately. Really do recommend 👌🏽👍🏽
5:36 freaking hilarious, I missed it the first watch! 🤣
5:48 anyone else notice the face?
Yeah fuck getting 60mpg and helping the environment amirite guys?
@@Metabrotropic get your environmentalist ass off here
FMIC - first and foremost
CAI does work but needs a proper tune and the gains are minimal, but sounds awesome
They might be minimal but noticeable. And better mpg.
Great video. Just subscribed. I'm lookin to go fast and buy a used car I can upgrade. This video is very helpful. Thank you.
Cold air intakes work and will increase hp dramatically on large displacement engines *let's say 6.2 chevy truck and lt1-lt4 motors as well as 5.0's*
I've seen someone gain 20 wheel hp on a new silverado on the dyno from just a cold air intake. Those were back to back runs, same climate and only an hour apart.
LSX_ moe I don't think he's talking about those type of engines. I think he is talking about people who are new to it all and maybe just bought a let's say e36
e36 also gains from cold air, even smart gains from cold air if u do it propertly....
I dont talk about a cone air filter but cold air intake, like a "demon"
Streetspeed? And yeah I agree cold air intakes are not a waste. 10 to 20 more hp and is a good 1st mod you can do yourself.
LSX_ moe however it can trigger the engine check light, you wont be running an optimal ecu tune unless it comes with it or you do a dino test
Ill bite. I had an LS3. I put in a BTR stage 3 cam, upped the valvetrain components and put on LT headers. Significant gain on the dyno. Later, I put on a cold air intake and a "rod mod" to the intake manifold. Got it retuned and back on the dyno. No peak gain, tiny low end gain.
I'll also include that the cold air intake that I put on actually had a housing that required me to relocate my windshield washer reservoir so that I can put on a metal "scoop" in its place just to push air from the front bumper onto the intake, effectively making it a RAM air intake.
Rod Mod to IM - 300
Cold air intake - 400
Waste of 700 + 300 for a tune and dyno.
All jokes aside , I’m surprised he didn’t mention a tune .. granted a tune really o my works on cars with some kind of forced induction (turbo .. supercharger)..
but in my experience with both .. I found a cold air intake is a great start ! It’s not terribly expensive and you really notice quicker response from the engine and a slight power gain followed by better fuel economy . Enough to where you’ll be seeing good fuel economy even when you drive the car hard. .. in most situations you NEED a cold air intake in order to support certain mods. Such as headers .. a tune .. or Ext.
Car culture is car culture .. opinions aside the love for Cars is universal . Regardless of what you drive !
lxp3lxp3 any gains from a cold air intake are at high RPM, which you won’t be at on the street much. So yeah, he’s right, they’re a waste of money. I’d rather invest that money in headers, or suspension components.
Pretty much if you drive a Subaru and want to go stage 2 or higher is when the intake would be useful, combining it with a custom tune, exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, etc, it gets costly for all that but that’s when it’s worth having an intake. And besides, if you don’t even have any other mods it still sounds wicked awesome, like having a freaking hurricane under your hood.
Cory Falcone haha cool story bro, I’m only 28 and I’ve forgotten more about cars in the last 3 years than you’ll ever know. Good try though
Lol I love the sense of opinion ! But remember THE LOVE FOR CARS IS UNIVERSAL . Regardless of what you drive ! I personally had a matte gray Veloster turbo that I tuned and did a bunch of shit too.. and now I have a VW R32 that is also slightly modified so I’m boast toward hatchbacks and stuff .. but that’s what I love !
I also sell cars at Carmax .. and it’s taught me that All cars are cool lol just to different people :)
I got gains off my IE CAI for my mk6 gti in the mid-high rpm range. Plus whoosh with no bov is so lovely. I think Tony was talking in generalities tbh; most cars people tune are 90s and didn't come stock turbo like 240sx (ka24, were talking state side atm), integras, vr6 gtis (r32/mk4 gti) etc. So the CAI isn't going to be a big of an improvement on those over a car that 1) has forced induction 2) the ecu can adjust to the increased air flow (though as OP states, tunes can help with this and a CAI is generally needed for anything stage 2 or above)
Pretty informative and badass video
Monark fuel injector nozzles and my big brake booster and big front sway bar so far are my favorite mods. Oh and my oil temp gauge!
The superturbo really does show how capable a mercedes diesel can be as well. 300D's are the perfect universal auto.
best mod i did was custom BC racing coilovers on my 93 sir
cup holders 12/10 would recomend
this dude makes things look simple and easy and not rocket science thnx dude
I remember getting literally the same improvement in my stock vehicle by simply removing an air silencer and opening up the inlet at the grille of my escape instead of adding a cold air intake/ open free flow filter and aftermarket tube combo w/ heat shielding
