This modified 595 Abarth Competizione had its ABS taken out. Something I strongly advise against to on cars equipped with ABS from factory as it can make them behave... funny. Like in this case. Quite possibly, the car engaged traction control (regulated by the brakes) in the tight corner and it caused the lock up.
@@stoneeh I missed that part, but his reason for taking it out doesn't seem smart at all. Imagine having to do an emergency brake and the wheels lock up with a car in front of you, that would be an instant wreck. The trade off to by pass the traction/stability systems is absolutely not worth it, this is just dangerous.
Just disabled incorrectly. The proper way is to completely disconnect the valve block and the pump from the power, or even better - replace the valve block with pipes.

No nie jest to najlepsza opcja ale turbo jest dosyć duże (więc ciśnienie doładowania raczej nie powinno być duże) a w teorii im większe ciśnienie doładowania tym większa temperatura - więc powinno być lepiej niż przy małym wymaksowanym turbo.

@@claudiugardelli6302 that turbo aint making 180 even on spring boost. 0.6 makes more than 220 . Just a bad turbo pick for track use. That turbo spools way up. 4000+ rpm ..so wrong turbo and bad tune.
@@RosskoPeeko Not just a turbo , you need front mount intercooler , exhaust , downpipe , injectors , intake kit . 300bhp is easily achievable with stock motor but proper tune.
Usually they route the intake behind the fender. But this location is not even that bad. You would be surpised but IAT is actually lower with a custom air intake on that location. But like i said best location is behind fender under the headlight.
Few things. 1) That turbocharger *should* be perfectly capable of making the quoted power. I know, because I have a Garrett GBC 22-350 fitted to MY Abarth 595. However, the acceleration towards Bridge/TF start would suggest an output closer to 200 Crank HP. Something there ain't right, possibly a map issue? 2) You can retain ABS and delete the factory stability control by installing a switch to interrupt the ground for the Yaw Sensor on these cars. "Cutting" or otherwise removing the wheel speed sensor is NOT required and as aforementioned will disable ABS. 3) This car in particular has been making the rounds on the UK owners club pages, its a completely fresh build, only just completed before it's outing to the 'Ring. ASBO are reasonably new to this platform and have been publicizing their work a lot over the past year or so; their fabrication work is indeed quite nice.

i love how the owner is just happy about it XD that lock up was sketch AF! hope he keeps the car, updates it and comes back in a couple of years for another ride
@@tomfiddimore man i like the car, cant wait to see it come back again, dont let the negative comments get you down, this is an opportunity to develope the car into something really special.
Doesnt look any faster than my Punto with 190bhp and we have the same engine. Is it running off boost? BTW get rid of those pops and bangs. Sounds awful
By the way that turbo is not the right choice if you want a track use. A hybrid GT1446 would do much better cause it spools from low rpm. That turbo is better for roll racing. Also shifting way to soon at 6k rpm was killing some power. Probably where the PEAK hp came in.
I read the comments first and I thought the guys are overreacting. That hot air intake still managed to catch me off guard. The pops are not be commented.
That locking up situation happens on Gran Turismo if you fit big wheels and lower the car too much... it reminded me of it 😅 Kudos for missing the barrier 👏
I can see Misha's face it's driving him crazy. This thing literally is a fart machine not surprising that it's this little go-kart looking thing it needs all the attention it can get😅, I also noticed the emergency flashers going on and off when it would pop😂, what a shit can😂
It's just strange to me what young guy is prioritize nowadays for their cars. When I was growing up it was get the car low to the ground so that it would lower its center of gravity and have better handling and then we would worry about power.
They are nice to look at and drive but the chassis is not made for any kind of serious racing. They remind me of the old Punto GT back in the 90s but those were more predictable. Personally I advice youngsters to look at the Mito with the same engine but double wishbone in the front. It is more fun to drive and way more forgiving at high speed corners. What is that noise I am hearing? Is the muffler hitting the undercarriage? 😆
@@thetruth7633 My friend had a Punto GT and to be honest. That's a way cooler car than this little Abarth. Little sleeper that car was. Amazing slingshot effect it had. 👍 I'm pretty sure a 170-180bhp Punto GT is faster than this Abarth. 😅😅
On the pops and bangs, people like different things, I remember when I was 18 and had my first car, a 1985 Volvo 244DL, it had a B200K engine, but with intake and carburetor from a B21, it had the pops and crackles whenever I let off the throttle, and I loved it, it sounded like a rally car :P I did also somehow manage to explode the muffler... so likely it was from fuel detonating in the exhaust causing the rally sounds, I was young and stupid. :P
It looked like it saw that heavy turn in as a potential spin and tripped a stability system of some kind to stop it going around - hence the lock up. If you're going ot pull the ABS off anything with integrated electronics do it properly - big brake kit, new lines and master cylinder/s - preferably with bias control and keep the system completely seperate from the car electronics.
The most annoying sounding car you have ever taken round. It was painful to the ears, only reason I kept watching after 30s because you told us there was a close call with the barrier.
Absolutely awful. How anyone would think that sounds good is beyond me. The way it was dropped by that Swift too 😂 What a waste of time and money. I need to go and watch an ITB compilation to cleanse my ears now.
I think people here have no idea what power these engines can generate :) However, owners like this give the ABARTHs a bad name with the stupid tunes and pops and bangs all over the place. Putting more than 200hp in an Abarth does not make much sense, constant wheel spin on a front wheel drive car is something you don't want. They are TONS of fun with the stock 180-190hp. The issue here is most likely messed up electronics and the TCC system, something happened and just put on both brakes at the same time. If you want to be a complete idiot just cut the wire in the central tunel that will disable EVERYTHING - ABS, ESP, TC , tune it to 300hp and pray for the best :D
If there would be an award for most sketchy car Misha has driven this year this would be top contender. Makes also no power up top. Did only 220kmh into Schwedenkreuz with no traffic so it made hardly 220hp if that.
All these spiky comments about the exhaust (smh)...yes you could see Misha wasn't overly impressed but still had a smile on his face! The guy is clearly an enthusiast and let's be honest, we need the younger generations to keep the ICE scene alive!!
Italian cars always bring a lot of passion with them, going from A to B, or from moving to locked up'ina wall, or going from parked by itself to a lovely bonfire^^ This is why we love them, they can be perfect and still throw a fit. Kinda like having a wife from the Balkan, of which Misha knows all about 🤣 My gf is also from there, so I feel the pain 🤣 Oh well, wish the Abarth dude better luck next time^^ 🤞
Ill have a stock one over this without the pops and bangs. Oh wait, the standard one also has it. My neighbor has one. Sounds like its broken all the time.
had enough of the pops and bangs after 3 corners...if you want to drive properly there shouldn't be anything distracting you and you need to listen to the engine, because no time to look at the speedometer. And TF is not the time or place to drive so aggressively that disabled ABS might improve your lap time...even during the Nordschleife training you are not allowed to switch your ESC, TC off and you don't need to in most cars.
I had a chance to rent that car for three days, worst decision ever, the seat position to the wheel is externally uncomfortable, after 50km of driving, it was a torture, not to mention the gearbox which is so slow and making strange slow downs when shifting
I think its fair to say it isn't quite making the 280bhp but the comments are being overly harsh, it seems to pull quite well above 100mph but it really should when its a shoebox with that power, below that its a mess. Its all just a bit of a mess.
I have serious doubts about the claimed power. Compared to my 2.0T Giulia Veloce Q4 (stock 280hp) this Abarth seems sluggish and slow. This 595 was simply messed up. It's a shame.
