Limo Revival and Nitrous Installation

  • πŸš€ After 4.5 years and 3.3 million views, the abandoned 35-foot limo is brought back to life with a massive dose of nitrous oxide.
  • πŸ› οΈ The installation of two nitrous bottles totaling 35 lbs from Nitrous Outlet is detailed, highlighting the kit's comprehensive nature.
  • πŸ’‘ The process involved overcoming initial wiring and fuel pump issues, including a creative fix using compressed air on the Schrader valve.
  • πŸ”§ The team successfully installed a universal wet nitrous kit, which includes fuel along with the nitrous for optimal power.

Limo's Construction and Challenges

  • 🧱 The limo's construction is described as being built from scrap metal and pallets, with a terrifyingly cobbled-together interior and chassis.
  • ⚠️ Significant structural issues were noted, including cracked welds, busted cab mounts, and a terrifyingly "tandem" axle made from scrap metal.
  • πŸš— The vehicle's immense weight (estimated at 8,000 lbs) and poor original engineering are identified as major factors limiting performance gains.

Nitrous System Testing and Performance

  • πŸ’¨ The purge system was tested, initially blowing off a hose due to improper connection, but later successfully creating a large cloud of nitrous.
  • πŸ“ˆ Initial tests with small nitrous shots (35-75 HP) showed minimal performance increase, attributed to the limo's weight and the engine's poor tuning.
  • πŸ”₯ With a 100-shot nitrous kit and improved bottle pressure, a noticeable difference was observed, including louder engine sounds and more smoke.
  • πŸ’¨ The video concludes with a massive burnout, demonstrating the limo's newfound, albeit absorbed, power and the fun of the nitrous system.
