Hoovies Garage CMON MAN! all you have to do is put it in maintenance mode and you can do burnouts and drift
@Hoovies Garage Why not pitch the show to Motor Trend?
Gotta lol at the Prius! Less than a second of nitrous and it commits hari kari!
That is definitly a holly motor! Pun intended
Only question is when we are going to see a Citroen DS or maybe a SM. The land yachts of Europe.
3:46 "do not Nitrous a prius" that's the sort of gold standard advice I come here for.
nah, just do it in the dry and keep your foot planted.
Also do not nitrous an eclipse.
@@MianCowell It is not traction that killed it; it is almost impossible to overspeed a Prius engine because of the transaxle design. The 14:1 compression engine does not play well with any sort of boost.
I think he's like we all are, so I figured he'd just get it rebuilt then say "we're going to try this just ONE more time", and he'd nitro it AGAIN. I was surprised that he sort of vowed to not do it. I was hoping he would do it again. Why not buy a crappy/cheaper one at auction and just try it again, Hoovie?
I DO like seeing what's going on with all the other cars. Should do that more often or as often as you can.
This is disappointing news. That means I will have to install a turbo instead of Nitrous. I was hoping to do both and get up to 200hp. I’d be running sub 10 second 0-60’s lol

Wizard’s theory... “The motor wasn’t set up for nitrous”.
Well, there’s your problem.
The Atkinson cycle just means that it holds the intake valve open during part of the compression stroke, which reduces power but also reduces losses at low load. I don't see how that relates to the failure.
You can disable the traction control on a Prius: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start
It's actually like this lol

Buy a second microphone for your guests, please Hoovie.
He addressed that common request. Reason: too much work in post production to make it work.
GrimmR34PER555 - yeah that’s what I thought too. There was a long period there when his spoken audio was an issue and he was stuffing around with different single mics (supposedly expensive ones too) and being frustrated that they didn’t work for him, for whatever reason. He probably couldn’t be bothered with syncing up two.
@@chrisfi3d It's really not that much work. At all. Start recording with both mics and either use a time code, or clap three times. The three claps make it CAKE to match the audio up. It would actually be easier to do this than what he's currently doing of increasing the volume when his guests speak. Oh, and his recorder? It's not expensive. You can see it hanging out of his right pocket. It's a zoom pocket recorder. They're like a hundred bucks.

Next on Hoovies' Garage -- how long will JB weld hold my engine together pt 1
Lmfao!
Dude! My older brother did that! The motor held and he sold it that way! Even told the new owner, how crazy is that?!
So.... funny story. I actually did this. The Wastegate boost reference line exploded on my '95 turbo miata and I neglected to enable overboost protection. Needless to say, a stock miata 1.8L can't handle 30+PSI of boost. Bent 3 rods, broke one all to hell. I was a little bored and had a stick welder, so I made a plug from another block and welded it up. Found a huge crack on the other side and jb welded it shut. Here's an album on imgur of it: imgur.com/a/60Tnc
Found an extra set of rods, a spare piston, ran a hone through the cylinder that got beat up a little bit by the broken conrod. Threw it all back together, turbo and all. Unfortunately.... I was in a bit of a rush assembling the motor because it was getting dark and I tightened but didn't torque down one of the rod cap nuts. Sadly it only ran for about an hour and I didn't get to go pwn any slow v8 cars with it. :(

So wizard says you can’t fit nitrous to these types of engines but he’s the one who fitted it 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Wizard's defense is a Hannah Barbera cartoon quote "But he told me to, he
told me to"
better than the road runner /Coyote toons BEEP BEEP!!!!
Really it's just have the nitrous go into the intake of the engine, it's not gonna be a supercar level of nitrous injection but it works
Wizard also knew he'd be able to sell him more stuff at his ridiculous prices, so he did the right thing. For his own wallet.
I think the issue was that they probably didn't tune the car so that it can properly manage having NOS dumped in it. It probably just dumped the whole thing into the engine and it blew up cause it dumped it all at once.
Wait... Prius is equipped with traction control? I'm starting to think Toyota has a wicked dry sense of humor.
You must not know how much instant torque the electric motor produces
@@04dram04 It's still just 100hp. It's more just for traction in bad road conditions.
It's literally the worst part of the car. Even on dry roads if you stomp on it from a stop it'll chirp the tires and kill your power. Then re engage full power and chirp the tires and kill the power again. It's terrible.
@@Brandon_Makes_Stuff yeah, borderline safety issue sometimes.
If they really didn't include a switch to turn that off they must be morons, 100hp or not. Any vehicle with traction control should have the ability to shut it off.
Hooptie fleet update: Everything's broken and the Car Wizard is planning the imminent purchase of a new private jet with all the money he's going to make fixing them...
"Hooptie fleet update done!"
...never left mechanic's shop...
You should turn the blown engine block into a glass coffee table. Not as cool as a supercar engine, but it would mean something to the channel and it would be a cool conversation piece
Just like Top Gear!
Doesn't Tavarish owe someone an engine block table, and they're both Toyota sooo
And display it in the new hooptie headquarters!

Interesting conversation piece: The only Prius engine in existence known to have N02 holes in it
Every time I see the look on Hoovie's face when the motor blew, I start laughing....a lot. LOL
Especially when he runs over the filter lmaoo
His face is like he just pulled a trigger on shotgun when engine went bang.
Chernobyl reactor #4 on a smaller scale...they had the AZ-5 button, you had the NOS button. Same ending.
Great series!
Lol just watched that this week too, was good!
Chernobyl was a hoax, go do some independent research!
@@enquire422 wat
I literally just finished episode 5 about 17 minutes ago.
Clearly the problem was an inadequate dose of nitrous. I'm thinking a 250 shot would have been just about right.
Wouldn't that have literally exploded the entire the car?
@@firstnamesir6698 Yes, indeedy. Oh, yes indeedy.
Yes, it only reached one cylinder.
Your calculation is correct, with a smidgen more for safety.
Hoovies, we need more videos of pushing these cars. Even if they grenade.. it DEFINITELY is MUCH MUCH more entertaining then burying them....
That calls for a V6 Prius I think 🤔 do itttt!!!
Seberous actually no they should LS swap it lol
V8 or nothing
It's got amazing aerodynamics tho
Palpatine says "Dew it!"
An Atkinson cycle engine has a very high absolute compression ratio. It changes the timing so that it doesn’t use the full compression volume during the compression stroke. This allows it to utilize a high expansion stroke without the knock risk.
Your nitrous basically acted like a turbo in a very high compression ratio engine. It probably ignited before top dead center and grenaded your block.
To expand on that. The combustion chamber is extremely small when the piston hits TDC. I think he hydrolocked it with nitrous and fuel.
nm, started with a 50. Without a window/wot switch. What an idiot.
@@TheRealKoolguy007 I'm going to double down on the hydro lock since spark was probably also knocked out during traction control engagement. That was a violent "come from together" at low rpm (4K Ish...). Also wondering if the electric motors had enough time to react and cause more locking. I imagine a certain amount lead or lag is programmed into motor 1 and motor 2 for acceleration and deceleration. This is all speculation, i do no t approve this message.
you can turn off traction control by IGN→acc2x→N→acc2x→READY or something like that. PriusChat knows everything
Mine 2013 can get traction control deactivated after one fuse pulled. Even abs disabled too. I was thinking about add wire into fuse then add switch with fuse so I can deactivate driving assists anytime I want.
That Grand Wagoneer and Imperial are definitely 2 of Hoovie's better purchases!
Just need a few overnight parts from Japan?
Yep, it will decimate all arfter hoovie puts about 15k or more.
Was that fun?!
Well put it on Hoovies tab at Harry’s.
As Hoovie is telling how he blew up his engine, Car Wizard is trying really hard not to laugh 😂
looking into that engine hole feels like watching a chernobyl documentary
atleast its not radioactive and need a confinment buildning.
He pressed AZ-5
I love how the Wizard gave you that instinctual WTF snap look when you mentioned warranty repair after obvious driver induced damage even though youre obviously joking because hes been through this crap before.
So... Tavarish is rebuilding a Prius engine next!?
Don't think that guy is even remotely technical for that.
@@Questchaun even if he was he'd never complete it since it's not a lambo
Thought freeze plugs where to prevent the block from cracking if the cooling fluid freezes. Presure makes the plug pop out instead of destroying the block.
That’s a myth
Depends how much the ice continues to expand after solidifying, if you go -20 deg C or more without ethylene glycol the block gets split in two by the ice expanding.
Fast and furious.. ehm...slow and explosive
Hahahahaha!!!
Call it Fart and furious instead.
To sum it up poetically correct: If it ain't cycling like a proper Otto don't play the nitrous Lotto!
poetry
The paint job isnt the only thing that blows chunks on that prius!
yeah, YUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Lol right now it's worth more than the car lolololz
Wizard does not just stand behind his work, he pushes it into the bay for you!
Just install a new oem prius engine. Then add more nitrous and hit the drag strip.
Wizard is LOVING this.
NOS it again.
Spray at higher speeds in dry weather
I truly enjoy their friendship and their low key jokes and pokes.
A “freeze plug” isn’t just where sand comes out of a casting... if the coolant ratio is too much water and freezes the plugs push out.... saving the engine block from cracking!
'What do freeze plugs do?'
Well, what Wizard said about manufacturing, I learnt something new. Thanks Wiz
But also this:
It's in the name; Freeze plug. If the temperature goes super low, like it will here in the north, and the coolant is mixed with too high water ratio, the water expands and the frost plugs, as we also call them, will pop out instead of cracking the engine block.
Keep doing crazy stuff like this Hoovie, the limits need to be pushed sometimes. And yeah, that car still worth fixing!
Well...if your going to mess something up, mess it up so bad, people will wonder how you did it.👍👍👍👍👍😎
I watched both episodes of Car Issues on Saturday night with my husband and we loved it. Bring on more!!!!!!!!!!!
*Wizard:* Let me install another money making device on your car.
*Hoovie:* Yeah, sounds good, let's do it!
I know how to defeat the traction control! You need to put it in diagnostic mode, which is a silly number of inputs, but it turns off traction control among other things. Here's how you do it:
1) Turn the car to ignition by pressing START twice without pressing the brake.
2) Floor the gas pedal two times (two full top to bottom pressings)
3) Make sure the parking brake is on, and while pressing the brake pedal put the car into NEUTRAL
4) Again press the gas pedal two times
5) Push PARK and press the gas pedal two more times
6) Now put your foot on the BRAKE and press START one time while holding the brake down.
Put a 2ZZ-GE in it, its a VVTLI 1.8 liter engine. It should make about 190hp
Better 2.0 honda engine with 10000 rpm
Is it a direct swap for the 1.5? I'm guessing there isn't that much space under the hood to custom mount it easily.
@@tedarcher9120 nah, keep it toyota
@@wtfizzjus 1.5? Isnt the prius a 1.8??
@@RAFAGaming11 I know the 1st gen wasn't. The dinosaur engine was a 1.5 liter 70-something hp unit. 2ZZ sounds like a great idea. :)
Scrap the hybrid motor and 1.8 engine in that prius and install a custom 2JZ. It's about time you do a custom build with the weeeeeeeeezard?! 🎉

3:15 for instant laughs 😂 Tyler’s face was epic.
Damn y'all butchered my last name btw lol
Should have put the Prius in maintenance mode so the gas engine stays on and also turn traction control off. All very easy to do watch a TH-cam video on it or the Prius forums. YES YOU CAN TURN TRACTION CONTROL OFF yourself no special tools or scanners needed. Just an fyi lol you just converted to an air cooled Atkinson cycle.
They also butchered your engine. 🤣
Sup Atkinson.
Hey Chris! Are you my brother? David Atkinson
@@davidbenji1 could be related lol did you help build this engine lol
Even if they turned off TC and kept the engine running, an Atkinson cycle engine isn't designed for NOS and it would still have problems.
Tyler, instead of destroying cars, if you started to restore the cars you have gradually, by the time you are 50 you will have a nice eclectic collection of cars to show everyone. Real car people hate seeing any cars being destroyed we love them all.
Can you mic up the wizard in these videos? Feel like we always miss out on his wizardy nuggets of gold. Love the videos :)
Scott Racing I never understand why he doesn’t do this?
He's already explained it, 2 mics make the editing take way longer, not worth for him.
If you watch the wizards channel he explains that he clearly warned Tyler Hoover in advance that adding nitrous would likely destroy the engine. Tyler accepted this risk from the very beginning in case anyone watches this but doesn’t realize the back story.
A 2JZ swap for this thing would make it the ultimate sleeper! :D

Awesome 👍🏻
Hoovie's cars are the main reason I don't touch used cars unless I know the history of the car. There are too many experts screwing up product.
Hoovie just exploted the only know weakness of the Wizard. Shine a flashlight in his face lol
Pro tip: Use turbo's, boost is a natural thing for an engine.
In fact that's what the Corolla hatch uses currently on the 1.2 Atkinson cycle power plant.
Prius uses my engine cycle. I hope this does not make me responsible for the engine nuke...
Also that 928 looks good.
As long as you don't put it on a diet
I want the Fast and Furious Prius so bad. I’m glad you’re not killing it off
Just married and immediately has to take care of all his wifes family. I've heard that before. They'll bleed him dry. Poor Hoovie.
I hope the best for your new show👍. I fell in love with this channel and forced my mechanic and service manager to watch $4500 v12 twin turbo! They were against it but thought it was cool you did it😂
Standard ring gap + super lean mixture = boom
Doesn't that melt pistons & burn rings? Not snap connecting rods in a quarter second. I think it was just as simple as rod failure.
T L I’m spitballin’ here, but when the ring gap isn’t opened up in a boosted or nitrous engine, and goes super lean, the heat expands the ring, the ring ends touch and seize the pistons in the bore. The momentum of the crank snaps con rods and causes them to ventilate the block.
The thing didnt run long enough to overheat anything!!
@@owainwilliams4162 Detonation happens almost instantly in this situation.
You did the right thing by changing the timing belt on that Miata; the rubber ages the same whether it's driven or not.

I'm just glad you found the hubcap 😂
Glad to see the Wagoneer in this episode. I just bought Wagoneer #4 yesterday. Might do a Hemi swap in one of them just because. I guess that means your desire to spend money is rubbing off on others. Just remember, Jeeps mark their territory. Once the rear main seal is fixed it will start to leak somewhere else LOL
I like how Tyler pays the wizard by the book prices and gives him so much exposure, but doesn't get discounts or anything in return.
Then you have J&J
Autowrecking who has given Tyler thousands in parts just for a couple simple shout out.
Wizard seems kind of greedy.
He charges him 45 an hour for labor... that's hardly greedy
Cannot compare a parts supplier(endless supply and can serve hundreds of customers in 8hrs) to a mechanic(10hrs day at most). Wizard could have 100,000 cars lined up wanting to do business and he still only has 10hrs available. Next step is hiring other mechanics. Either way it's very finite on the labor end. Even if it helps the Wizard's channel it's not a moneymaker just yet. Imagine the shop rate is $75 and Hoovie's rate is $45...on ANY car ever made. Impossible deal. They both know that the mechanic's labor cost is meaningless when most of Hoovie's videos are doing 5 figures in ad revenue.
Love the old and small miate, it was my first car. A lot of fun for little money
2jz swap it.. that would be amazing
Remove the rear passenger seats and place the engine in the middle. Fuel tank in the front. RWD.

Toyota Prius can be fully electric?, replace the ICE into battery.
Thank God for J&J .
A little JB Weld, you be alright.. 😁
2:26 If part of the problem is that it's an atkinson cycle engine, I wonder if converting it to otto cycle by swapping the cam would work. Of course that would raise the compression ratio a LOT, so you would want to either run premium or just convert it to e85. Personally I'd say go the extra (quarter) mile and convert to e85 because Mo' Powa, Babeh
Run the nitrous to a purge kit, all the look (comical or not) but no attachment to the engine.
Freeze plugs are also so if you neglect your coolant and it freezes it won't crack the block. Not too much of a common issue these days but back before the 1980's shops would fill up with cars with this issue every winter.
Sounds like Wheeler Dealers has been reborn in Kansas
This is THE video we need to see.
Hoovie: * Mentions a Raptor *
Me: Don't. Don't give me that hope.
Damn. JJ auto really helping projects move along. Thanks!!!
Now the engine of the Prius is already dead, LS swapping it will be even easier.
HackingDutchman yes, I’m slightly devastated he’s swapping with another original Prius engine. Now that his family member has the Prius they want, this should definitely have 300+ horsepower.
I think it's great that J&J Auto Wrecking keeps hooking you up like this, but at some point they're going to look at the Car Wizard's business model & discover that they could basically be millionaires.
You CAN turn off the traction control on the Prius.

It takes a whole sun ritual and 15 minutes
You can, I had a friend try drifting his prius after he turned it off
It wasn't TC cutting power, it was because the engine ran out of the rpm range og the hybrid drive
I just can sit down and watch a 17 minute video about a toyota prius. I can't stoop that low in life.
