I think the intercooler didn’t get cooling during stationary runs and the hp got worse with every run as it got hotter and hotter. That’s why you need a strong blower in front of the car during testing
Absolutely, I had two Dyno runs of my car and the second run dropped from 480whp to 450whp because it was getting heat soaked since there was no fan. This turbo probably makes Tons of heat as well so it makes sense.
@@bigduphusaj162 lol that's not why. Air temp was much hotter so 20psi of boost is less air even though the boost pressure is the same, Hence why it made less power.

Very quickly becoming my favourite youtube channel.. some of the things you get up to just makes my day better. Please please please don't stop making these videos!
That shows everything what we love about stereotypical hybrid turbos. It makes some increase of HP close to redline while taking away 50 nm all the way. A fascinating piece of engineering.
It makes less power than the first videos dyno. First dyno video when it was 'stock' hit 211 wheel horsepower. This dyno run saw 206 wheel horsepower. The B in BHP in UK dynos stands for bullshite. It's all smoke and mirrors to keep the customer happy after forking out $$$$$ on modifications.
This power loss isn’t due to the turbo. Something else on this high mile old beast needs changing. personally imo i don’t think they have all the fuelling they need unless i have missed something.
Tbh, during the Dyno runs you could often see some white puffs of smoke. That most likely means that it's either misfiring or pinging. Also that Dyno graph pretty much tells the same story. You can see in the squiggly lines how it's either losing or pulling power. It doesn't look like there are any fans up front? Maybe check intercooler/intake temps. And new coils are never a bad decision
Instantly subbed, just continue to be yourself Alex and the channel will do great. Btw it was nice how you included the sposor of the show in a useful presentation. Much better than just talking about it and making us skip the part, this was cool thanks man
Heat soak could be holding the power back as couldn't see any decent cooling going on, fuelling could be an issue too. Maybe give Mike Brewer a call and see what they did to their Fiat Coupe that we supplied a hybrid turbo for, they made 300BHP with theirs. Keep up the good work :)
Most dynos have a big fan in front of the car, for cooling, simulating driving, they do not. So I think that's why it kept making less and less power. Edit: I was informed they do in fact have a fan, it just isn't easy to see in the video.
Unfortunately they have no external afr monitoring equipment no good relying on the ecu narrow band sensors they don't react quick enough woooooooosh bang melted piston............. Kids eh....
Yes those chips are just like playing russian roulette. The best solution is a standalone ecu with the tune for the needs of your configuration ! Each time you change something, a new tune should be required, especially on turbo cars where a lean mixture can melt a piston in no time.

There was a Wheeler Dealers episode yesterday and they had one of these on. Mike managed to get his to go to about 310BHP. it was even the same colour as yours
always liked these little fiats back in the day...dynos vary sooo much, But deffo Heat soak, very common, my rs7 c8 can make 812 bhp but after couple of runs intake temps go up and can drop 25 bhp The csf intercoolers help. Stock ones were rubbish
Rory, gen3 Mazda 6 suffered with soft cams it was the gen2 that had timing chain problems. Speak to a Mazda dealer regarding cams as it was a recall. Also check the rivet turbo flap as the turbos on the gen3 are known for being not that great.
If its a 2.2 diesel it's not soft cams that are the problem the main problem is the exhaust manifold is in the head and the exhaust valves get stuck closed over time and wear out the cam lobes also they have a tendency to shit the oil pump chain
Was checking cars out when I was a younger (and my stepdad had some "tips" Opel Omega, Fiat Coupé, and Nissan 200SX S13 (CA18DET))... Well the sure... The Lotus Omega was a contender :-) but no... could not afford that one hehe... Fiat Coupé, the engine was pretty cool! but the looks I did not like, the front wheel drive not so much either... Got a 200SX S13 CA18DET and love it to bits... crasched... bought another one... and my mate crashed that one... 20 years later... I still want another one but now they are really expensive...
it's not the best idea.. a hybrid turbo. Better choose a gtx series on t25 flange and a downpipe at least. For safety, switch from 330cc to 440cc green injectors and a walbro pump. Or jump directly for deka 630cc and bosch 044. Hybrid turbo i did not recommend even to my customers (diesel tuning). Those hybridized turbochargers makes a lot of heat without a way better flow (same section output), also would create a lot of BACK pressure (your situation is nottorious with stock exhaust line)
I have 480cc injectors. Walbro 255 pump with wiring mod, uprated fuel pressure regulator, stage 3 hybrid turbo with decat to a 3 inch system, pro alloy fmic, apexi avcr electronic boost controller, stage 4 map,
I have ordered the stainless tubular turbo manifold from italy and a 40mm aluminium radiator and oem thermostat to go on. Also running a paddle clutch. The manifold should see me to 350whp
@@cylturbskie it's ok 5x 480cc injectors (i hope you checked impedance before order) for those 350whp/380bhp. But to me.. that walbro 255 (i still have it inside tank) was weak point. Also a weak point could be a hybrid turbo from reasons which i already mentioned above. High boost AND low fuel is solution for detonation and piston melting only. By the way, that hybrid will NEVER bring you to 350whp, not even close. But a BB gtx from gtx28 to gtx30 will do. For more race than daily street driven choose gtx30 with bigger exhaust housing (a/r 0.82 or something close). Do not pick the a/r 0.64.. makes boost little faster BUT at top end fail miserable and create huge EGT.
@@napraznicul mine has been mapped conservatively mate. And i never hit any positive boost pressure if i dont have alot of fuel in the tank. Mods were done by a previous ffcukOC member. All branded parts installed by i imagine older coupe enthusiasts than i am now at 30 years old. I completely trust the walbro 255 pump.
The intercooler was to hot, you guys need a bigger fan throwing a lot of air in that intercooler as the car is just stationary. I bet the ECU was playing with the timing a lot truing to compensate all that hot air coming in to prevent knock. But 280 ish damm is a lot for that car. What a beast
Indeed it would dude. i have a stage 3 hybrid. But cannot see what it is exactly as the stock heat-shield has been put back on. Which stupid enough, cant be removed until the aircon compressor is removed…
Heat soak but also looks like the intercooler is far too small for application. The one in my Saab at 280BHP (2.3 4 cylinder) is double the size (OEM) and even that gets heat soak on a hot day and pulls timing.
Honestly I think he hoped to blow it up for the views, which, I respect. But with the power sinking that drastically each run, if it wasn't poor ventilation and heat soak, then there is something getting further and further out that's gunna pop soon. Could be a bearing, seal, timing chain/belt. (disclaimer: I know nothing about this car specifically)
Power losses could well be down to the fact that you did move to 99 octane in the end. If it, presumably, had 95 in there before hand it would have been 10% ethanol content, which is beneficial to turbo setups. You guys did just fill the tank with it, so possibly for the first run it was still running on whatever was in the fuel lines at the time, then the mixture gradually moved to fuel with little to no ethanol content as the runs went on. I'm not entirely clued up on turbos and such, I am just a dude, just my two pennies on the matter. Cooling issues too as others have said, though I am certain the guys at Auto Sportivio know exactly what they are doing there and that there is indeed a fan blowing on it the whole time.
I kinda cant take these guys completely serious sometimes, they come off sounding like kind of....plonkas...? Like....the very casual person whos only ever put an air filter or backbox on and has to follow a manual just to do so.
I enjoy the series but the content does feel much shorter than what I'm used to. Is this the style you're sticking with or would we see more long form sort of content in the future?

That engine's suffered heat soak/saturation, you need a big fan blowing air into the front of the car Alex on those dyno runs. That should help you see better gains mate. Just read a comment stating you had a fan there.. maybe you need a bigger fan :)
The stock intercooler junk. My turbo is a stage 3 hybrid. Also, dont rely on the stock fuel system too long. Mines running 4 bar fuel pressure reg, 480cc injectors, walbro 255 pump with wiring mod.
Cool video Alex but you see the thing is that there is a guy in Poland called Kivi who is known from modifying cars, chiptuning etc. and he proved a while ago that hybrid turbos are pretty much b*** and instead of spending money on them it is better to put in an brand new original one placed in the car day 1 or buy a new turbo with better spec from garrett for example. Just to give you some knowledge it is not offensive coment :D Have a nice evening everybody

That engine's suffered heat soak/saturation, you need a big fan blowing air into the front of the car Alex on those dyno runs. That should help you see better gains mate. Just read a comment stating you had a fan there.. maybe you need a bigger fan :)
Alex were you broken down at the Bowship roundabout today?
Will the drop off in power not just be heat soak, probs be ok on the road.
I know it's way more work than just bolting on a part, but I think you should RWD convert it.
In the sense of being the only rwd coupe in the uk yes that would be insane.
The stock intercooler junk. My turbo is a stage 3 hybrid.
Also, dont rely on the stock fuel system too long. Mines running 4 bar fuel pressure reg, 480cc injectors, walbro 255 pump with wiring mod.
Alex you're so WEIRD!!(cake scene) Lol Love it. Never change. 😎
Facts
Don't code without a power supply on the car. If the voltage gets too low, you can brick the modules in the car.
The thing is it’s probably warmer what will lower the hp
These videos are proper hilarious, loving it mate
2:43 Is that a Suzuki Swift in the background on that lift?
There might be a restriction in the exhaust, might need a hood dump or larger diameter pipe
Heat soak, not enough fuelling, any number of things with that mileage.
I wanna see Ant and Alex smooch.
Cool video Alex but you see the thing is that there is a guy in Poland called Kivi who is known from modifying cars, chiptuning etc. and he proved a while ago that hybrid turbos are pretty much b*** and instead of spending money on them it is better to put in an brand new original one placed in the car day 1 or buy a new turbo with better spec from garrett for example. Just to give you some knowledge it is not offensive coment :D Have a nice evening everybody
OH GAWD, the cake bit literally had me in tears!!!
That’s a cool little car I never even heard about before your first video about it.
The big puff of smoke out of the exhaust isn’t great. Maybe new plugs and a new air filter?
I've thought about doing this myself to my Corolla lol. Cool to see it action.
Another brilliant video! loving the channel and all the content, always look forward to one of your uploads!
Alex is so happy to meet some one 5'1" like himself, at the beginning of this weeks episode. Just a shame to have to ask JP to sit down for his piece to camera with you 😉🤣
P.s. getting of a level of entertainment thanks Alex more than adequate. Well done 😁
I looked into getting Carly for my car but due to the age of my vehicle the services it could offer were equivalent to a standard fault reader. Perhaps for my next car.
Alex can I have your opinion on the mk3 golf gti’s? I have a anniversary edition one
I love that these videos are just Alex menacing other people
always spruce up my thursday evenings
Gonna be fine sir, thank you for the great entertainment always!
How's the torque gown down though?
heat soak mates, you gotta put a big ass fan on there, cool that intercooler. under normal driving, that intercooler is getting slammed with fresh air
Birthday cake was the best part of the vid NGL 😂😂😂
I cant wait till those headlights are clear and its cleaned up!
