Driving with the hood not closed properly is not a good idea. 8:14

[@cconcannon5145]

I had a 20vT back in the day and loved it...and the stock 220hp felt quick....this will be a rocket ship. Just need to be careful going 'round corners as it's still a Tipo underneath!

[@04dram04]

309 hp is incredible for that small car

[@MarioRossi-xo6im]

WOOOWWWWwwwww Man's!!!! Super Congratulations!!!! Fiat Coué 20V Turbo FOREVER!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ryandalmini6569]

The best fiat coupe'20v turbo number one❤❤❤

[@brijeshmandanna147]

That was Awesome guys..that chip upgrade was lovely !

[@jameswhite1319]

Man his a good mechanic!

[@kristianspencer1978]

The original 16v turbo had the lancia delta integrale engine. 👍

[@petterpettersen7976]

Yes, but the Lancia Thesis had the 20vt engine with a different turbo, have had both engines, loved them both😢

[@TheGisex]

310 cv con il turbo originale è pura fantasia!!

[@chesterboy9661]

Some of these are so so fake ! Watching the one the other day where there’s the high revving sound effects when he’s doing about 35MPH and then that Bmw 335 one where the scene keeps changing to make it look like their racing and it’s not even going fast , no way did that car beat the M3 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ cant even watch it anymore with Cringy Mike , was a good program and it’s just been totally Ruined!

[@deanbutcher1599]

There was loads of fiat coupes with way more power than this back in the day. These cars can handle the extra power reliably well.

[@CarLos-yi7ne]

300hp is just the beginning on these engines. 4-500hp has been done.

[@Den7711]

1000hp as well and even rwd and awd.

[@CarLos-yi7ne]

@@Den7711 Well, a lot can be done. I saw some time ago a Coupe with Japanese engine and 4x4 driveline etc. It was 1000hp I think. That is the moment you know it has gone much to far: no Coupe anymore, just a lookalike.

[@filipstefan9384]

says that they will swap plastic water pump for a metal one.... proceed to install new plastic one. 😄

[@dietznutz1]

On my Fiat, when I did the belt and pump what came off looked like plastic but was metal and the new one was the same, metal, weird

[@jamiemead3082]

Using the OE side mount intercooler won’t yield that power for long, as it will suffer heat soak. Which in turn leads to higher cylinder temps, no apparent mention of the fuel pump wiring mod. On a hot summers day when being pushed will probably lead to det, and the end of that car, never mind the MOT that missed a whole bunch of corrosion. Another brewer bodge it and scarper

[@pereldh5741]

I’m surprised to find any Coupe 20VT doing less than 300hp today… 😎

[@r.fumador1146]

yes im looking for 1 full stock and is only scrap outthere. all them are tuned.

[@davidstuart4915]

these were routinely tuned over 300bhp back in the day and turbo swaps over 400bhp with std internals and tranny

[@Trappygit]

Mine made over 342bhp in 2009, 416bhp in 2014 and just made 448bhp in July. Plans for well over 500bhp in the next year or two 👍🏻

[@davidstuart4915]

@@Trappygit indeed, great car....wish they still made something v similar in this price range..

[@jamiemead3082]

Whilst I agree about the 300 hp statement, sticking with the crappy side mount intercooler won’t make this one reliable long term.

[@davidstuart4915]

@@jamiemead3082 they upgrade to FMIC for proper tuned variants

[@Den7711]

​@@davidstuart4915Just got the Gtech1 and was thinking to have my turbo slightly modified. Not looking at crazy hp. How much u think the original intercooler can take?

[@oscareduardoollarvesmartin2925]

Im Oscar from Venezuelan...by Discovery channel whatcing your WD program

[@davidwescott2632]

Thought you would have replaced the cam variator unit while you were at that point. Never any labour charges in these programmes. Definitely ruins profits.

[@EugeneBarry-zp1vo]

Brilliant result from a master mechanic and one of my favourites a Fiat Coupe ❤

[@genioitalianoadvtorinooper9517]

Mhh 4k for all??! ........ may be 25k now

[@mistervacation23]

That sure is a crummy shirt you got on mister

[@xxblackmasterxx4980]

where i can buy the mapping?

[@CarlSmith-p1h]

A customer brought this car to us for repairs after buying from these clowns. I’ve never seen anything so bodged together in all my life working on cars. Amazing what they don’t show you in the videos

[@danilodefreitasfernandes6970]

Why are you not providing subtitles in the videos???

[@zoltansimorka91]

Subtitles are obbligatory.

[@leegoulden5312]

I had one in the same colour approx 250 b.h.p years ago it shocked alot cars massively underated

[@StefNefast]

here,in France, a bad 20vt is 5000 to 6000€ a good 20vt is 9500 to 12000€ i dream to find one à 2700 or 3000€

[@markauckland666]

300+ on a front wheel drive car, and i always thought the biggest issue with the Fiat Coupe was those straight slash wheel arches which means skinny tyres... its not going to end well

[@anthonychristian4807]

I had the same one back in 2002. Same colour and same R reg. Black leather.

[@mikenolan1889]

what are the con rods like on that engine?

[@Trappygit]

Like? They're good for 340lbs/ft. Pistons good for 400bhp.

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Lol the cam lobes look like the pyramids .

[@zoltansimorka91]

I saw this part dubbed into Hungarian.

[@djmhyde]

o mais impresionante é que não explodiu kkkkkkkk

What year is this car?

[@puciohenzap891]

1 word: understeer

[@freddyakdeniz8369]

Love ya work mate

[@gonzad]

maravilloso

[@RCWatson]

Nice!

[@substandardabuse6028]

300hp @ over 6000rpm on a tired engine = hand grenade.

[@Trappygit]

My block has just been rebored and made 448bhp from 7,200-7,800rpm. Pulls well 👍🏻

[@pereldh5741]

You forget its the Fiat 5-cyl. Bulletproof.

[@GTI1dasOriginal]

Erm.. no. Not in this case.

[@substandardabuse6028]

@@GTI1dasOriginal Yeah so I’ve discovered after researching. These things are weapons.

[@shuddafukkup]

That power curve on the dyno doesn’t seem to be the most efficient

[@FunLovingCriminal_JB]

3 miles after completion it broke down and crumbled into a rust pile... Not that Elvis's work wasn't up to scratch, it's a Fiat, that's what they do 🤣🤣👌✌

[@75campbell]

So how do you explain my 98 Le still going strong🤦‍♂️

[@red._dog]

Really ? I've been lucky enough to own Porsches, Corvettes and various Honda V tecs, and I've always had Fiats as working machines, always treated like mules. With some I have traveled more than 400,000 km without ever having problems, both petrol and diesel. Now I bought myself a 16V turbo fiat coupe with over 300hp as a Thrack day car. If by chance it breaks I will let you know. Let's not trust Fiat so much... 👋

[@patrickvandelli6475]

j ai un T20V turbo de 330cv E.L

[@michaelhartman851]

The torque number is the most impressive, you need to realize most turbo 4 cylinders like Hondas that make that kind of power would be under or around 200 lbft of torque which is why they are so slow off the line then start to scream as rpms rise.
