    This Fiat 500 began its life as a base model, but thanks to a very enthusiastic owner, now sports a big turbo upgrade, with suspension and brakes to match, and is an absolute riot to drive.

    The guy wanted to share his ride with us, maybe he's not used to people driving his car. He stepped out of his comfort zone to share his whip and I respect that!

      wat is heatshield wrap
      wat is intercooler
      wat is e85
      wat are cars
      Congrats, you got the attention you asked for.

    • @centralintelligenceagency9003
      @centralintelligenceagency9003 8 лет назад +19

      TWIRKNOLOVE
      The heatshield wrap doesn't change the fact that you're pulling in hot air from the engine bay. Hell, why even bother insulating the tube if you suck in hot air anyway?
      The intercooler now has to do more work to cool the air down. The charge air will be hotter than with an actual CAI.
      E85 with HAI means a higher charge air temperature than E85 with an actual CAI.
      Cars are machines designed to carry people from point a to point b in an efficient, comfortable and safe way.
      Then, using a pod air filter on a street driven, turbocharged car is asking for trouble. Yes, they allow slightly better airflow (not that important for the turbo, since the difference in power is usually small), but do so by filtering less.
      Less filtering means more particles going into the turbo, hitting the compressor wheel (which spins really quickly), wearing it down like a sand blaster, which can make your turbo go south.
      There, you now got the attention you were asking for.

    • @flynndodsworth2693
      @flynndodsworth2693 8 лет назад +1

      +Central Intelligence Agency have you seen the size of the engine bay? there is not much room left after that big turbo.

    • @centralintelligenceagency9003
      @centralintelligenceagency9003 8 лет назад +6

      Relocate the battery into the trunk and you got yourself space for an OEM-like filter system.
      By the way, OEM filter systems usually are CAI.

    Lol @ people griping about the teespring pricing or not going through a regular printing company. You don't like it, you don't have to buy it. You can't please everybody.
    Selling shirts is hit or miss, even with a page as large as this. Using teespring just means a zero risk opportunity for TST to do a limited run of the shirt, they sell EXACTLY what they need and don't have a bunch of inventory just sitting around.
    We do the same thing on our page with new designs. If it sells hot enough, we add it to our inventory when we take it to events like TX2K.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  8 лет назад +38

      People can complain, but the fact is it's been hugely successful so far. We sold over 200 shirts yesterday alone, which is fine by me. And the people who do buy them will be happy with the quality

    • @johnstorer159
      @johnstorer159 8 лет назад

      What's the sizing like on the shirts? I got the "Yes officer that was us" shirt for free when I bought a pair of Dillon optics and the large ended up way too small for me. Any comparison?

    • @WarShrike
      @WarShrike 8 лет назад

      Yup, it's nice not having to deal with proofs, ordering, picking up inventory, addressing all those orders, shipping, etc. Especially if you're pressed for time.
      For a page with only 130K followers, selling 700 shirts in one campaign is our current best. Getting a handle on Facebook's algorithm sometimes is a PITA though.

    • @WarShrike
      @WarShrike 8 лет назад

      I'm 210-ish, 5'11" and wear a large in the teespring premium shirt. It's a smidge tight right now because I gained a bit this past year due to classes eating my spare time. How I still fit in my Firebird's Corbeau CR1's, I have no idea. They're designed to be more of a fitted tee, not loose like the hanes tagless.

Next summer I was toying with the idea of driving my Alfa Romeo 155 V6 down to Matt to drive, you have inspired me to take the plunge. The 500 Abarth is on my short list for a nice cheap hot hatch to mod - either that or an 06 Cooper S [miss my old one].

    Hey Matt! I love your videos man! I hate to be that guy, but I don't think your fiesta made 320 WHP on the 100 octane tune. I'm a huge Fiesta ST nut, and watched your videos like 10 times lol. It made 320 ft/lbs TORQUE at the wheels. Something around 220-230 hp at the wheels?
    Those cars aren't capable of much more than 225-230 hp on the stock turbo. But the torque is monstrous!! 320 torque in a little car like that is awesome.
    You are correct! That fiesta would probably be on par with this fiat, due to the torque. But not quite in horsepower. I know it's easy to get jumbled during a one take shoot lol, I don't blame ya.
    Awesome video. Love that car. MISS YOUR FIESTA!!!

    This is actually a good interview, Dexter Manley asked good questions and the answers were interesting, especially considering that the turbo has been doubled in size! I'm scared that things going to blow any second... but it sounds fantastic and it looks like about as much fun as you can have on the road.

    Info on the turning radius.
    Non-Abarths have a turning radius of 30 feet.
    The Abarth has a turning radius of 37 feet.
    I remember reading about one owner swapping the steering rack of his Abarth with a regular steering rack. I might do that one day to my Abarth just so I no longer get stuck in parking lots! 37 feet is the turning radius of a big-ass SUV!

    • @sarahdell4042
      @sarahdell4042 8 лет назад +2

      It's just a 16g, far from a big turbo. This is a tiny 1.4L though, you really can't get too crazy without building the engine. Tuning for these cars isn't ideal, and it has the stupid multiair which makes things trickier.

    • @Turshin
      @Turshin 8 лет назад +1

      +Sarah Dell actually multiair is just a programmable intake cam. theoretically you could have different cams in one car at the flip of a switch.

    • @smagbye
      @smagbye 8 лет назад +8

      It's gained power since. The turbo is only comparatively big. The transmission (4th gear) blew up after the next power mod about 4 days after this was shot.

    • @sarahdell4042
      @sarahdell4042 8 лет назад

      Yes but makes tuning a little tricky, and who knows the limits. Most of FCA stuff is annoying to tune

    • @aiGeis
      @aiGeis 8 лет назад

      I think it's really funny that he considers a 16g 'big'
      Us honda guys consider a 16g more of like a small intro to turboing turbo. And most of us are around 1.6-2 litres.
      *edit* I guess compared to what most do with irregular platforms like this, and considering the size it is sort-of large, I would consider it more mid-size based on the engine displacement alone.

    Multiair = FIAT Valvetronic

    • @ryanhard5273
      @ryanhard5273 8 лет назад +6

      Multiair/valvetronic is not variable timing, it's variable lift too which is why the throttle is no longer the main part of torque request. So your statement is irrelevant.
      As to your last statement, perhaps you should go check your fire extinguisher, you're bound to need it soon ;)
      EDIT: looks like he deleted his comment about Alfa using variable cam timing in the 80s as though that made current tech boring and old then went on to insult all of Germany

    • @AlexComeau
      @AlexComeau 8 лет назад +2

      Multi-Air is an electro-hydraulic actuated intake valve. No intake cam which allows 5 different lift profiles at a max duration of 249*. There is still a throttle that operates like any throttle.

    • @ryanhard5273
      @ryanhard5273 8 лет назад

      Yes there is but just like valvetronic, the throttle is really only used for fine-tuning low pedal inputs, creating vacuum off throttle and a safety backup. It's practically unused for controlling engine load like traditional designs.

    • @ryanhard5273
      @ryanhard5273 8 лет назад +2

      Also, there's still an intake cam. The hydraulic control comes from replacing the traditional rocker/lifter combo. I'm not aware of any true camless setup beyond some Koenigsegg experimental stuff.

    • @AlexComeau
      @AlexComeau 8 лет назад +1

      +Ryan Hard throttle position percentages I have seen show it like any electronic throttle. The car has two profiles for throttle and boost. The profiles dictate ramp rate of each. If the throttle is not being used why are the percentages correlating with degrees of throttle. If what you are saying is the case then after part throttle it should just be wide open but I have seen it on the dyno.
