I don't want to be "that guy", but this isn't really a boost on/off challenge. This has more to do with gearing and low end torque. If you did this with a naturally asperated car you would get the same results. To test the boost, you'd need to do runs with the turbo connected and disconnected (which I know isn't practically possible) while allowing the engine to rev through its entire range.

No worries, you're quite right but we have to stay within reason - these cars are lent to us by the press fleet!

Wonderful, thanks for these unique videos! A 1.0TSI pulling better than the A45S is hilarious. But to be fair, the A45S had much taller gearing as well in top gear.

What’s up with Mazda, Nissan and others using non forced induction engines in 2024? 2.0t would have done the job much better. Chinese offering much better tech and value.

Our best guess is that naturally aspirated engines are cheaper to build (win for Mazda) and cheaper to maintain or repair (win for the customer).

Interesting price point the GLC is in, its slowly approaching the GLE, X5, X7, Touareg. However its still a good product with the 'bells and whistles' you need for a city car. You would think they have some magic under the bonnet with those 0-100 figures, haha.

I have a 1984 280s and I love how it sounds and it's fairly quick for a 156 hp car with a 4 speed auto slushbox but when something breaks, you're done. Almost everything needs a special tool and if you don't have a special tool, you gotta find another way to do it. There will always be a way to do something without the special tool but it will take 4 times as long (Edit: I also daily that car. I bought it as a daily because first: I wanted a cool car second: i can't afford a second car. Probably should have saved up money for a better daily)

Awesome video. Was hooked when I heard the accents. happy I own one of both of your favorites. I have a excellent condition 2001 w208 with 210k on the clock (ex German owned) . Absolutely love her. Very impressed by tue tech for the time and best of all everything still works. Plugs may be expensive and difficult to get to but they do last significantly longer than "regular" plugs. I am actively looking for a wreaked Crossfire to do a manual swap on my car. Pretty much bolts on swap from gearbox to shift lever and pedalbox. Biggest challenge would be fooling the TCU/ECU into thinking the car is always in Neutral and modifying the prop shaft.
@GalimotoMedia
@GalimotoMedia 19 күн бұрын
Wow, thank you for your kind and detailed comment! The Crossfire Manual swap is also popular with W202 C43 and W208 or W210 55 AMG models, although overseas owners have the luxury of also picking apart Manual SLK320's or Manual C320 sedans/coupes. Apparently, most owners leave the automatic gearbox lever in Neutral and hide the whole shifter mechanism inside the central tunnel... although you may need to reprogram ECU's to avoid a check engine light.
